so i was complaining talking to my dad about the suffering that is the renewal void, and he agreed that it would be a bit nonsensical for max to-
push physical merch on their site
create a bunch of custom icons for users on their site
put so much effort into marketing s2, to the point of putting spots on tv, hanging up gigantic billboards, and spreading teasers all across social media
-if they had no intention to see the show all the way through.
which was ✨validating✨ coming from an outside party, because it's something i've been thinking this whole time. now, granted, i don't trust streaming services, and stranger things have happened, buuuuut idk. it really seems like there's a part of them that realizes ofmd is a large, important property to them, but we shall seeeeeee,,,

Gender Fucked Falsettos Dreamcast
So, I feel like Falsettos is one of those shows that you can't fully gender bend, because the character's genders are central to the plot (Marvin and Whizzer have to be gay men, Charlotte and Cordelia have to be lesbians, Trina and Mendel have to be the token straights). However, I do think it would be very possible and also amazing to have all the actors in drag. I did do this casting using current bigger names, but it would be amazing to have this show done with only drag kings and queens.
Marvin: Rachel Bloom
She plays an asshole really well on Crazy-Ex Girlfriend, so I think she'd be great for Marvin. Also, alto rights.
Trina: Daniel Radcliffe
Please, Broadway Backwards, give me Daniel Radcliffe doing I'm Breaking Down. He also isn't afraid of gender-fuckery parts (I have no idea what show the clip is from, but I have seen his She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain drag performance more times than I can count) and I think he would do great as this neurotic mess of a character.
Whizzer: Kat Graham
She's a great actress, and got absolutely shafted by the Vampire Diaries. Also a really great singer. I think she deserves a better career, and I think she would be a great Whizzer. Whizzer is a tough one, because of the difference between Act 1 and Act 2 Whizzer, and I think she would be able to pull it off. (Sorry for the vagueness, I'm trying to be as spoiler free as possible).
Mendel: Julie Benko
The people's Fanny Brice is an absolute powerhouse, and I think she could kill any part, but I think her endearing nature would make a great Mendel. Also, I just have a feeling her and Daniel Radcliffe would play really well off each other.
Charlotte: Daveed Diggs
I'll be honest, I can't think of a part Daveed Diggs wouldn't kill.
Cordelia: Jan Sport
I just want to hear her do "You save lives and I save chicken fat. I can't fucking deal with that". Also, she has some strong ass high notes.

Talking with my husband about the Khäärijä OF, discussing what could be featured, will there be hole or not.
And then he's like: What, he has a girlfriend? So no love for Bojan? 😂

I am constantly talking about how I don’t appreciate when film adaptations file down the complexities of classic literature and sanitize parts that aren’t marketable and melodramatize scenes for no reason. I hate so many adaptations for exactly those reasons.
But for some reason I cannot find it in myself to even slightly dislike the 2006 adaptation of Jane Eyre, even though it is rife with all of those things. I always think that I’m not going to get absolutely humbled by watching it and I always fucking do
