Taylor Nick Variant Universe Brain Rot Part 2

Remember this? When I went unhinged and started coming up with an iPartment-inspired Taylor/Nick characters crossover rom-com universe???

WELL I GOT AROUND WORLD BUILDING, BUT I KIND OF NEED SOME HELP/INPUT

And yes I handwrote my ideas on paper that is my real handwriting I just think better when I write physically

So three parts:

Part 1: Family Relations

Explanation:

I made some of the characters relatives because of convenience and because it was fun

Henry's family follows the movie version, so Henry's surname is Hanover-Stuart Fox

Both the King from RWRB and the King from M&G are named James lol (the former James III of the UK; the latter James I&VI of England and Scotland), both bear the name Stuart but it's fucking weird for brothers to have the same name so I made Hanover-Stuart a joint surname only for Catherine and her children: Henry's Grandfather is a Hanover, Henry's Grandmother is a Stuart, George's lover/sugar daddy is Henry's Grandmother's younger brother

Robert (Cinderella; Nick) is from a (trashy) musical theatre movie and since Arthur Fox is an actor, I gave him a stage actress sister who's Robert's mother: Henry and Robert are cousins

During the pillow talk scene in RWRB Alex mentioned his father has a sister so I made said sister Marco's (The Kissing Booth; Taylor) mother: Alex and Marco are cousins

Part 2: Jobs/Studies

Explanation

Alex and Henry are what they are

At the end of KB3 Marco said he wanted to go to New York and become a musician so yeah

Robert is from a musical so might as well make that his study

Being a sugar baby is the best way I can translate George's situation into a modern setting

Henry's parents are as they are, with the modification that Catherine is a professor at Oxford

Oscar Diaz is as he is

Arthur's sister/Robert's mother is a stage actress

Questions/Input/Help Please

What music school in New York can Marco go to? I only know Julliard but it seems a little too unrealistic

I don't know how the American government system so if Ellen isn't president what position can I put her in? Senator too? Or something else?

What job works for Henry's grandfather and James Stuart? Does old money work? What's a modern substitute for a monarch?

George was historically a really good dancer and we're gonna see that in M&G, does it make sense to translate that into a club dancer or something? I ask as someone who has never in her life gone to a club

Part 3: Living Arrangements

Explanation:

I want them to be roommates? The fic and the show that inspired this idea was the characters living in two neighbouring apartments: 1 with 4 residents and 1 with 3 residents

I kind of want to start with all of Nick's characters in one apartment and all of Taylor's in another, then maybe mix it up as relationships develop

So for the 4-person apartment right now I have Henry and Robert

For the 2 or 3-person apartment I have Alex and Marco

George, as a sugar baby, has James giving him a luxurious loft where he lives on his own

Question:

I... don't really know how apartments in New York/ the states work? My understanding of an apartment is like one complex with a living room, dining room, bedrooms, kitchen and washrooms, and one floor of one building has a couple of those for each floor. Is the States the same? 'Cause yall live in houses and we don't really have that here? The building my apartment is in has 42 floors and each floor has 8 apartments.

Suggestion for roommates for each apartment? I need 2 Nick characters and 1 Taylor character who would be reasonable enough to share a new York flat with college students

Final Question:

Suggestion for a name for this universe/fic?

BY PENELOPE GREEN NEW YORK TIMES

In the winter of 2003, Norah Vincent, a 35-year-old journalist, began to practice passing as a man.

With the help of a makeup artist, she learned to simulate stubble by snipping bits of wool and painting them on her chin. She wore her hair, already short, cut in a flattop and bought rectangular framed glasses, to accentuate the angles of her face. She weight-trained to build up the muscles in her chest and back, bound her breasts with a too-small sports bra and wore a jock strap stuffed with a soft prosthetic penis.

She trained for months at the Julliard School in New York with a vocal coach, who taught her to deepen her voice and slow it down, to lean back as she spoke rather than leaning in, and to use her breath more efficiently. Then she ventured out to live as a man for 18 months, calling herself Ned, and to chronicle the experience.

She did so in "Self-Made Man," and when the book came out in 2006, it was a nearly instant bestseller. It made Vincent a media darling; she appeared on "20/20" and on "The Colbert Report," where she and Stephen Colbert teased each other about football and penis size.

But the book was no joke. It was a nuanced and thoughtful work. It drew comparisons to "Black Like Me," white journalist John Howard Griffin's 1961 book about his experiences passing as a Black man in the segregated Deep South. David Kamp, writing in The New York Times Book Review, called Vincent's book "rich and audacious."

Vincent died July 6 at a clinic in Switzerland. She was 53. Her death, which was not reported at the time, was confirmed Thursday by Justine Hardy, a friend. The death, she said, was medically assisted, or what is known as a voluntary assisted death.

Vincent was a lesbian. She was not transgender or gender-fluid. She was, however, interested in gender and identity. As a freelance contributor to The Los Angeles Times, The Village Voice and The Advocate, she had written essays on those topics that inflamed some readers.

In her year and a half living as Ned, Vincent put him in a number of stereotypical, hypermasculine situations. He joined a blue-collar bowling league, although he was a terrible bowler. (His teammates were kind and cheered him on; they thought he was gay, Vincent learned later, because they thought he bowled like a girl.)

He spent weeks in a monastery with cloistered monks. He went to strip clubs and dated women, although he was rebuffed more often than not in singles bars. He worked in sales, hustling coupon books and other low-margin products door-todoor with fellow salesmen who, with their cartoon bravado, seemed drawn from the 1983 David Mamet play "Glengarry Glen Ross."

Finally, at an Iron John retreat, a therapeutic masculinity workshop – think drum circles and hero archetypes – modeled on the work of men's movement author Robert Bly, Ned began to lose it. Being Ned had worn Vincent down; she felt alienated and dissociated, and after the retreat she checked herself into a hospital for depression.

She was suffering, she wrote, for the same reason that many of the men she met were suffering: Their assigned gender roles, she found, were suffocating them and alienating them from themselves.

Norah Mary Vincent was born Sept. 20, 1968, in Detroit. Her mother, Juliet (Randall) Ford, was an actor; her father, Robert Vincent, was a lawyer for the Ford Motor Co. The youngest of three, Vincent grew up in Detroit and London, where her father was posted for a while.

She studied philosophy at Williams College in Massachusetts, where at 21 she realized she was a lesbian, she told the Times in 2001, when her contrarian freelance columns began drawing fire. She spent 11 years as a graduate student in philosophy at Boston College and worked as an assistant editor at the Free Press, a publishing house that before it folded in 2012 put out books on religion and social science and had, in the 1980s, a neoconservative bent. Vincent's first work of fiction was "Thy Neighbor" (2012), a dark, comic thriller about an unemployed alcoholic writer who begins spying on his neighbors while trying to solve the mystery of his parents' murder-suicide: voyeurism as a means to self-knowledge.

Vincent is survived by her mother and her brothers, Alex and Edward. From 2000 to 2008, her domestic partner was Lisa McNulty, a theater producer and artistic director. A brief marriage to Kristen Erickson ended in divorce.

How to write a fantastic pay-off.

I love The Blues.  My WIP novel involves The Blues.  So I love the flawed but still great and highly underrated 1986 movie Crossroads, starring Ralph Macchio and the late Joe Seneca.

One of the things I love and admire about it is how the screenplay sets up an excellent and thoroughly satisfying pay-off from the beginning.  Too few stories, in prose and in movies, know how to do this.  This is different than a Twist Ending.  This is when the story tells us something about the protagonist so we get to know him better, and this aspect of the protagonist is later crucial to the resolution of the story.  It’s not something pulled out suddenly to shock us and make us go “WHOA!”

In Crossroads, an elderly black man named Willie Brown recalls how, decades ago, he took Bluesman Robert Johnson’s advice and went to the crossroads to make a deal.

At the same time Eugene Martone is studying Classical Guitar at Julliard.  But his heart is with the Blues.  His instructor considers the Blues to be primitive and warns Eugene to stay away from it.  He can’t.  He switches back and forth between the two styles.

In a nutshell, Willie Brown convinces Eugene to help him return to the crossroads to break his deal with the Devil.  After several adventures in which Eugene grows as a musician and a person, they finally arrive.

Scratch challenges Eugene to a Cuttin’ Heads session with his star guitar player, Jack Butler.  If he can beat Jack, he and Willie go free.  If not, Scratch gets both their souls and drags them to Hell.

At first it seems the younger player can barely keep up with the man who’s sold his soul for his talent.  But then Eugene flips the outcome.

SPOILERS

At Julliard, Eugene was condemned for mixing Blues riffs with his Mozart.  But it’s his Classical training that saves him.  He mixes Classical with his Blues.  He plays a piece influenced directly by Niccolo Paganini’s Caprice No. 5, which we heard him practicing earlier in the film.  To add irony, Paganini was known as “the Devil’s violinist,” hinted to have made a deal with the Devil.  Eugene plays music composed by a man who supposedly had a deal with Scratch in order to defeat a man who has a deal with Scratch.

Jack Butler obviously never learned Classical guitar.  The depth of his talent is only shredding Rock.  He’s unable to reproduce the Classical composition.  At last, he gives up.  Eugene and Willie win.

This is a perfect circle from the beginning, when Eugene was told to only stick to one genre, to Eugene’s love and practice in both musical styles saving he and his friend.  It’s not a Twist.  It makes absolute, almost inevitable sense, and is therefore very satisfying.

Twist Ending are more often than not for shock value, to make the reader or viewer gasp.  Sometimes there are enough hints so that we don’t feel the story pulled the surprise out of its ass, but it’s common to feel we were somehow not given enough info so that we could have guessed that this was coming.

Crossroads doesn’t spring it on us that Eugene knows how to play Paganini; we’ve known it all along.  We know he’s talented enough to switch from Blues to Classical.  It only makes sense that, when facing that he can’t shred like Butler, he falls back on what he can do, what we know he can do.  It’s not a shock, it’s a “Well fuck yeah, of course he can do that!”  And judging from what we see of cocky as shit Jack Butler, we immediately assess that he’s some guy who loves hard rock but probably never heard of Paganini.

I sure wish more stories would have endings like this.  Over the last 3 years I’ve read literal piles of novels, for adults and children, where the author writes a killer first chapter, stumbles in the middle, and falls on his or her face at the end.  It’s because writers listen too much to advice online, and in MFA writing classes, about how you must grab the reader by the throat in the first line of the first paragraph of the first page of the first chapter.  Hardly any instructor teaches, or knows how to teach, how to continue the plot to an end that makes the reader want to read or watch the story over and over.

A note about the Late Robert Judd as Scratch.  No one could have done the role better.  From Wikipedia, “’he's level-headed and all-business . . . it's a welcome respite from so many hammy portrayals by actors who feel the need to portray the Devil as some kind of unhinged lunatic.”

BTW, you can get a Eugene vs Jack Butler t-shirt. ;-)

Capturing.

Robert M. Massimi.

The New York Philharmonic over the years has changed and it keeps experimenting and changing. In the late 90's and well into the 2000's, I was a season ticket holder. The Phil at that time was experimenting with traditional pieces in the first act with new, more contemporary pieces for the second act. As a more traditionalist it led to me giving some Julliard student waiting outside hoping to get in to see the performance receiving two really good tickets!

As the years went on, the Philharmonic would sometimes put forth modern works in the second act; sometimes not. Don't get me wrong, you need to develop new works to keep the younger generations interested in something that is a real quality entertainment. What was The Avery Fisher Hall and now the Geffen is one of the very best venues in New York, and this is in a city that has more great venues for music and entertainment that you can mention.

In last nights performance we saw Mozart twice in the first act. Mozart was performed in a short piece: Scene and Rondo. K.505. Sung by Golda Schultz in Operatic, with Francesco Piemontesi making his NY Philharmonic debut on piano with Gianandrea Noseda as the conductor.

The second piece was Mozart's Piano Concerto No.25 in C Major, K503. In Allegro maestoso Andante, this piece was clearly the best of the evening. This in-depth, complex piece was done brilliantly and it showed off the prowess of Piemontesi and the prowess of Noseda as he conducted this masterpiece with a smaller, yet in sync orchestra.

Mozart, who is my favorite classical writer, is a deep, full master of music and story. Here we get one of his more brilliant pieces that takes the listener round and round. The audience was fully engaged in this rendition as it was done brilliantly.

In the end of the second piece, the audience was not informed of an encore and it had many people heading for the exits not knowing that there was more music to come. Even though the encore was short, it should have been in the program for the audience as a point of reference.

The New York classical music scene is a sophisticated one; whether it is at Geffen, Alice Tully Hall, or just across the street at the Julliard. When a performance is good you hear it in the ends applause; when it is great, the hall shakes with thunderous ovations. From the first acts applause there was no doubt that this was a audience favorite.

The second act was Mahler's Symphony No.4. In this performance it featured Golda Schultz coming back out after the third stop. She spend a great deal of time sitting front and center before singing a limited time at the shows close.

In this Mahler piece, it was bland and uninspiring. It was no surprise that about 7% of the audience had left at intermission. It seemed that the real knowledgeable concert goers knew more than the rest of us. As one audience member said after this performance "this was one of the more disappointing performances that I have seen".

This piece had high hopes, the orchestra expanded by 50% from the first two Concertos. The set-up was intriguing... how will this be conducted? Will it be brazen? Bold? Will it rattle our senses? No. No and No. It left us wondering why its orchestrations were so poor. It was confounding why it was designed this way. It was a great big thud to a brilliant first act.

I Need that. Theater Review.

"I Need That" at American Airlines Theatre involves the life of Sam (Danny DeVito), his best friend, Foster (Ray Anthony Thomas) and his daughter, Amelia (Lucy DeVito). Sam is a hoarder and a hermit; he hasn't cut his lawn for eight months and the inside of his house looks as bad as the outside. Theresa Rebeck who wrote this play brings into question about how a man chooses to live his life. Sam has no TV, no phone and he seems happy living his life; nothing seems to outwardly bother him. He misses his dead wife Ginny, she too hated to throw anything away.

(this is a novel idea I have, and this is the beginning that came to me and I would love to know if this gets your interest. Of course, any other critique is also welcome. Do you like the first person, or would you prefer the third person? I am thinking of adding names, and a little more history but I want to see if this is even a start that is interesting.)

I'm Your Huckleberry | Val Kilmer | Published 2021

In this New York Times bestseller, legendary actor and star of the acclaimed documentary Val shares the stories behind his most beloved roles, reminisces about his star-studded career and love life, and reveals the truth behind his recent health struggles in a remarkably candid biography.

Val Kiler has played many iconic roles over his nearly four-decade film career. A table-dancing Cold War agent in Top Secret! A troublemaking science prodify in Real Genius. A brash fighter pilot in Top Gun. A swashbuckling knight in Willow. A lovelorn bank robber in Heat. A charming master of disguise in The Saint. A wise-cracking detective in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Of course, Batman, Jim Morrison and the sharp-shooting Doc Holliday.

But who is the real Val Kilmer? With I'm Your Huckleberry - published prior to the highly anticipated sequel Top Gun: Maverick, in which Kilmer returns to the bring screen as Tom "Iceman" Kazansky - the enigmatic actor at last steps out characters and reveals his true self.

In this uniquely assembled memoir - featuring vivid prose, snippets of poetry and rarely-seen photos - Kilmer reflects on his acclaimed career, including becomes the youngest actor ever admitted to the Julliard School's famed drama department, determinedly campaigning to win the lead part in The Doors, and realizing a years-long dream of performing a one-man show as his hero Mark Twain. He shares candid stories of working with screen legends Marlon Brando, Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr, and Robert De Niro, and recounts high-profile romances with Cher, Cindy Crawford, Daryl Hannah, and former wife Joanna Whalley. He chronicles his spiritual journey and lifelong belief in Christian Science, and describes travels to far-flunt locales such as a scarcely inhabited island in the Indian Ocean where he suffered from delirium and was cared for by the resident tribe. He reveals details of his recent throat cancer diagnosis and recovery - about which he has disclosed little until now.

While containing plenty of tantalizing celebrity anecdoes, I'm Your Huckleberry - taken from the famous line Kilmer delivers as Holliday in Tombstone - is ultimately a singularly written and deeply moving reflection on mortality and the mysteries of life.

About a month or two ago, my husband and I sat down to watch Tombstone. I had never seen the movie, though I understood it's premise was about Wyatt Earp and the events that led up to the gunfight at the OK Corral as well as the events that took place after.

What I wasn't prepared for was Val Kilmer as the one and only Doc Holliday. His performance as the dentist-turned-gambler suffering from turberculosis, or as they so kindly called in back in the late 1800s, consumption, was tantalizing. I was immediately hooked and not only obsessed with Doc Holliday himself, but Val too.

I've had instances of obsession with actors in the past. Vin Diesel being one of them. I had to own every movie he ever did, but that obsession didn't last long. I call it hyperfixating. But, in truth, it is because I had fallen in love with Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday. I'd fallen in love with a man who no longer looks and sounds the way he did back in 1993.

After rewatching the movie a few days ago, my husband purchased Val's memoir for me, titled I'm Your Huckleberry, one of the more famous lines from Tombstone. While I can read fictional stories fairly quickly, it takes me a bit longer for non-fiction or biographies or memoirs because I'm trying to absorb much more information than usual. And Val's memoir did not disappoint.

For years, all we heard about was how difficult Val was to work with, how he was a womanizer, that he was full of himself. The Val we get to know through his own eyes is the exact opposite. Val is a hopeless romantic, therefore his quests to find love in his life was simply because he wanted to find the woman of his dreams. After a relationship with Daryl Hannah, he gave that up and admits that he hasn't had a girlfriend in about 15-20 years.

The memoir chronicles his young life in Los Angeles, his parents ultimate divorce, and his father's dive into seclusion. The birth of his children, Mercedes and Jack, along with various snippets of information from the movies he did. Funnily enough, he didn't want anything to do with Top Gun, and that was the very movie that put him out into superstardom.

Regardless of your personal feelings on Val, or the movies he's done throughout his life, it's sad to see such an artistic person be riddled of the one thing that made their art into life - his voice. After his diagnosis with throat cancer and the tracheotomy that could his voice (or in the very least, made it more difficult for him to speak), Val has turned his vocal art into a more visual one. His Instagram shows various pieces of the art he has created since being released from the hospital. It also chronicles his faith, a true love for the Christian Science religion.

Pick this one up. You won't be disappointed, even if you know little to nothing of the man who wrote it. He shares everything, no holding back.

To Val, thank you for sharing your craft with us. I will continue to watch movies with you in it, and pretend that I hadn't fallen in love with a man who knows nothing about me. But, truly, you are one of the greatest actors of the 1990's. Thank you.

Programme portable

1°) Échauffement blasphématoire (5 minutes) : Aujourd’hui, c’est la St Portable. Selon mon almanach 2023-2024, du moins. On écrira donc une petite prière à ce nouveau Saint du calendrier, sous forme rythmée, quelque chose qu’on pourrait psalmodier facilement.

Mon ancien portable M’a laissé tomber. C’était un jetable, Et je l’ai snobé… *** Mon nouvel haïphone Sonnera bientôt. Mais s’il est aphone Je prends un marteau.

À la Saint Portable, Le marchand de sable Peut passer à table. J'écrirai sa fable Si j'en suis capable, Ou je pète un câble.

2°) Embrayage par citation (10 minutes) : Se défouler ? Une citation est proposée, prise dans un dictionnaire, et on l’intègre dans un court texte. « Je voudrais voir un jour analyser l'automobile en tant qu'instrument à défouler les citadins emprisonnés » (Elle, 31 mars 1958). Dictionnaire Robert.

Je voudrais savoir si un jour quelqu’un saura analyser avec justesse le comportement des automobilistes. En gros, un sur deux juge que celui qui le précède sur la route conduit mal, et un sur deux pense que celui qui le suit est un chauffard. Et en réalité deux sur deux utilisent leur automobile comme un instrument grâce auquel ils se défoulent. Se défoulent de quoi ? De la vie citadine, des contraintes sociales, de la famille, des autres, plus généralement. L’automobile est leur antidépresseur, une arme, et le paradoxe est que pour se libérer de toutes les entraves et de leurs angoisses, ils s’y enferment. Finalement, c’est une prison agréable car mobile, et beaucoup plus efficace que celles de la Justice, et de temps en temps, on passe facilement de l’une à l’autre. On s’est bien défoulé ? Les matons vous foulent.

3°) Écriture longue (10-15 minutes) : Haïr. Les autres, c’est rien que des sales types, selon Jacques A. Bertrand, Julliard, 2009. Écrire un court texte dans lequel on exprime sa haine d’un genre d’individu particulier. Aujourd’hui : le médaillé.

Le médaillé est une espèce qui mérite notre attention, et notre haine. Et elle n’est pas en voie d’extinction. Le médaillé est un individu qui arbore à son revers de veste, et parfois sur toute la largeur de son buste large et puissant, une ou plusieurs breloques pendouillantes qu’on lui a épinglées au bout d’une cérémonie pesante et verbeuse au cours de laquelle un cravaté ventripotent et décoré a rappelés devant un auditoire pressé d’aller au buffet se gave de petits fours et de crémant tiède, des exploits dont le récipiendaire lui-même ne se souvient plus : avions ennemis abattus, copies d’examen corrigées sans frémir, courses de haies ou lancer de divers objets contondants ou piquants, carrière commencée là et en voie d’achèvement ici, le tout avec trémolos dans la voix et la promesse d’autres récompenses à venir, cérémonie clôturée par des hymnes sauvages, patriotiques ou syndicaux, des applaudissements et quelques larmes à l’œil. Rien que pour ces motifs, on devrait déjà souhaiter l’abolition des médailles. Mais qui plus est, le médaillé est un individu fier et imbu de sa personne, il mérite donc sur terre le châtiment que l’enfer lui réserve pour ce péché capital : la dégradation ! Comme Dreyfus ! Sus aux médaillés ! Coupons-leur leurs rubans, arrachons-leur leurs rosettes, faisons-leur manger leurs décorations, avec les épingles !

4°) 10 mots et un pitch pour une histoire (10-15 minutes) : Sonnette de nuit. Voici dix mots à placer, dans l’ordre que l’on veut, à l’intérieur d’une petite histoire. Résumé de l’histoire : Un individu tente une expérience afin de tester son voisinage : il sonne chez eux, la nuit, et leur dit qu’il fait un sondage sur la convivialité. Mots obligatoires : affecter, chance, domicile, enquêter, gain, glisser, imprudence, marche, mégère, plate.

– Chéri, ça a sonné ! Réveille-toi ! – Mmmhhh ? Quelle heure est-il ? – C’est minuit et demi ! Tu vas voir ? J’ai peur, moi ! Vas-y, mais ne fais pas d’imprudence ! – Bon, je passe un pantalon et j’y vais. Mais tout de même, qui peut venir à notre domicile à cette heure ? J’espère que ce n’est pas une mauvaise nouvelle. – Tu fais attention en descendant. Ne glisse pas sur les marches ! *** Le mari alla ouvrir et se trouva face à un individu souriant, qui lui expliqua d’une voix plate et lasse : *** – Monsieur, j’enquête dans le voisinage, et vous avez eu la chance d’être choisis pour répondre à ce sondage. – Mais, à cette heure-ci ? – Oui, justement. C’est exprès, et si la surprise est grande, le gain que vous en retirerez ne le sera pas moins. J’ai été affecté à cette tâche afin de récompenser les meilleurs voisins, ceux dont la convivialité naturelle et spontanée présentera le meilleur indice de tolérance à l’intrusion. La première question est celle-ci : Que pensez-vous de cette initiative ? – Bon, ce sera vite répondu ! Ma femme est déjà en train d’appeler la police, et si vous ne dégagez pas d’ici tout de suite, ça va être convivial, au commissariat, ça c’est sûr ! – Quoi ? Votre femme ? Mais quelle mégère ! Ah, je vous plains, mon vieux. Au revoir ! *** Et l’homme disparut dans la nuit, laissant un couple totalement désemparé. Ils eurent beaucoup de mal à se rendormir.

5°) Fragment pour l’inspiration libre (15-20 minutes) : Une écriture longue à partir d’une bribe déposée sur Internet par Étienne Candel. « L’étrangeté de ces spectacles, alors que tout s’effondrerait. » Sans chercher à savoir ce que son auteur a voulu dire, on se laissera aller à l’exploitation de ces quelques mots, de manière qu’un sens se dégage du résultat : soit une histoire, soit un dialogue, pourvu que la phrase se retrouve quelque part intégralement.

Tout n’est que spectacle, dès qu’il y a quelque part des yeux pour voir. La vie, la mort, la guerre, le passage des trains ou d’un chat errant. Mais voyons-nous vraiment tout cela ? Il faudrait savoir regarder, d’abord, prendre du temps pour observer ce qui nous entoure, la beauté comme la laideur ; mais le monde va trop vite. Comme les horloges. Et l’être humain a la fâcheuse tendance de vouloir aller plus vite que le chronomètre ou le calendrier, alors que la vie est si courte. À quoi bon regarder une société se déliter, des gens se battre ou sombrer dans la misère ou la maladie ? et à quoi bon en parler ensuite. Y aurait-il quelqu’un pour écouter, ou pour lire la description qu’en ferait un journaliste ou un sociologue ? et qu’est-ce qui vaudrait la peine de dépeindre l’étrangeté de ces spectacles, alors que tout s’effondrerait ? Serait-ce pour la gloire d’avoir été l’observateur majuscule, le peintre de l’extinction en route, le prophète des malheurs prochains ? Ne vaut-il pas mieux fermer les yeux et attendre tranquillement le bruit que ne manquera pas de produire la catastrophe finale, et le long silence qui suivra ?

Philip Glass

Philip Glass (Baltimore, Maryland, January 31, 1937) is an American composer of minimalist music. As a child he studied the flute at the Peabody Conservatory and later went to the Julliard School of Music, where he began to play the piano almost exclusively. After studying with Nadia Boulanger and working with Ravi Shankar in France, Glass traveled in 1966 to northern India, mainly for religious reasons, where he came into contact with Tibetan refugees. He became a Buddhist and met the Dalai Lama in 1972. He is a great supporter of the Tibetan cause. It was his work with Ravi Shankar and his perception of additive rhythm in Indian music that led him to his unique style. When he returned home, he renounced all his earlier compositions in the style of Copland and began to write austere pieces based on additive rhythms and with a sense of time influenced by Samuel Beckett, whose work he discovered component for experimental theater works. The little esteem he feels for performers and traditional spaces lead him to form his own musical group, with which he begins to play mainly in art galleries, this being the only real connection between musical minimalism and minimalist visual art. Over time, his works are less and less austere and more complex, ending up not being totally minimalist and culminating in Music in Twelve Parts. He then collaborated on the first opera of his Einstein on the Beach trilogy with Robert Wilson. Glass orchestrated some instrumental parts of David Bowie's albums Low and Heroes (Low Symphony and Heroes Symphony). A prolific musician, Philip Glass, he has orchestrated many films, including the experimental documentary Koyaanisqatsi, by Godfrey Reggio; the Errol Morris-directed biopic A Brief History of Time (based on Stephen Hawking's popular physics book); Mishima, by Paul Schrader or Kundun, by Martin Scorsese. Recently, Glass has composed the soundtrack for Stephen Daldry's The Hours (2002) and Richard Eyre's Notes on a Scandal (2006).

[jackie-roberts]

Welcome to the Empire City, [JACQUELINE 'JACKIE' ROBERTS]. We hope you are finding everything okay because we know that this city can be difficult to explore. We heard that you are a/an [TWENTY-EIGHT] year old who is a/an [PERFORMER AND CHOREOGRAPHER] and identifies as [SHE/HER], is that true? If so it totally makes sense since people would associate [ALL THAT JAZZ FROM CHICAGO] with you. You’ve been here since [TWENTY EIGHT YEARS ] and nobody has told you that you look exactly like [MADELAINE PETSCH]?!

History...

Since Jackie was young she radiated joy and compassion, doing anything she could to put a smile on someone’s face. Being able to do something as simple as that would always bring her endless amounts of joy. In her eyes she felt like everyone deserved a chance to be reminded of their traits that may just be overlooked. This lead to her being able to make friends or to charm just about anyone she meets. As she got older not only was she kind and charming she became quite adventurous. She was curious about the world and the people around her. This lead to Jackie going to quite a few parties and not making the best decisions or mixing with the best people. Some weekends she would go anywhere she could just to have a good time and forget any responsibilities she had. Luckily enough her parents never found out about this. Jackie felt like they didn’t need to worry about their perfect daughter breaking a few rules. They had enough on their plate and she loved being the apple of their eyes.

Apart from always wanting to have fun one thing that always brought her back to earth was dancing. She performed in shows, took part in pageants when she was younger and even got to the point where she would teach dance classes at a local dance studio. Jackie had done everything from  jazz, tap, ballet, hip hop, lyrical, and even dipped her toe in break dancing just name a type of dance and she has probably done it. It all started when she was four years old when her parents signed her up for ballet classes after she was positive she wanted to become a ballerina. It was a perfect fit for a family who had a passion for performing on her mothers and fathers side. Her mother side full of actors and actresses on Broadway and the screen, her fathers family running a theatre for three generations in New York City.  So when it came to going to college she knew she wanted to study dance. After years of training and competitive dance, she knew this what what she wanted to do with her life. She was over the moon when she got accepted to her dream school of Julliard.

It was in college when she really started to thrive, all of the things she tried in college paid off. Her years of performing in shows, dance classes, cheerleading, competitions prepared her for the competitive and hard working world she longed to join. Her need to do a little of everything even came with her too. During her college years not only was she a student but outside of that she taught classes, did multiple shows and even started to upload videos of her classes and choreography. Before she had even graduated she started to make quite the name for herself. After graduating she a few ensemble parts in shows, showing off not only her dance experience but her singing talents as well.

As more time has gone on the busier her life has gotten but she wouldn't trade it for anything. She is getting to do all of her favorite things, performing, dancing and making people smile. One of her new proudest accomplishments is getting to be a dance captain for shows. Hoping this could help get her in the door to help choreograph a show one day. Jackie is over the moon to see what life has in store for her.

seeing a lot of posts about the starkids of colour / favouritism in the fandom.

i am guilty of this. there is no shying away from that. so let me spread some love and appreciation for these amazing, talented humans.

lauren walker may not be a singer but she fucking killed it as molag. molag was one of my favourite characters in firebringer purely due to her personality and comedic ability.

tiffany has a beautiful voice and was under appreciated in firebringer!! i know the script was originally written with less characters in mind, hence lack of solos for other characters, but man i wanna see her in something that she gets a full solo.

britney is on broadway. do i need to say anything else? yes. did you hear her voice in avpsy?? now that was talent and i’m mad she didn’t get any other solo parts in earlier potter musicals.

james is so fucking talented. he’s a goddamn triple threat and he’s responsible for some of my favourite choreography in all of starkid. (roberts iconic police dance - yeah that was him). i understand he didn’t get much of a main role in black friday as he was also choreographing the show but damn, he needs a bigger role.

and finally corey. corey has been in 6 starkid musicals and has been with the team since mamd. he went to fucking julliard. corey has been in starkid 11 years and he still hasn’t gotten a lead?? i listened to ‘our doors are open’ on the soundtrack and jesus christ he sounds like an angel. get corey a lead.

and one final point - all of these people mentioned above (except james because he wasn’t a performer until black friday) came back for starkid homecoming. they are clearly wonderful people who the other starkids also love so we should give them just as much appreciation as the other starkids.

#starkid #team starkid #firebringer #tgwdlm #the guy who didnt like musicals #black friday #avpm #avps #avpsy #a very potter musical #a very potter sequel #a very potter senior year #mamd #me and my dick #lauren walker #tiffany williams #corey dorris #james tolbert #britney coleman #blm #black lives matter #robert manion #lauren lopez

SCRIPT TALK: THE CHARACTERS

For context, here's the post where i talk about some parts of the script of the series I am working on for fun.

Here in this post I'll be talking in depth about the script I am currently working on, and introducing some of the characters as well.

The things I'll be tackling while talking about the characters in this series are:

- Who they are and some stuff about them

- Similarities/Parallels of some of the characters to a character from the pitch perfect films.

i think that's about it...

-Peyton Roberts

Peyton is a determined and focused person, she always gets the job done and wants to do things her way. She always auditions for musicals back in high school, whether is for the lead or ensemble she's still grateful for the roles she gets. Peyton is close friends with Ciara and they've been bestfriends since high school. There are days that she's a bit bossy but a good time to hang around with.

Peyton is a parallel to none other than her aunt, Aubrey Posen. Since she's related to Aubrey and always mentions that she hangs out with Aubrey whenever she gets a chance to fly back to America, they always hang out whether it's an aunt niece bonding or with Stacie and her daughter, Bella. I would like to think that Peyton is a softer version Aubrey, she's not controlling and understands that her and the people around her are still people, there will be times that she would bark orders at them and be aggressive. But would apologize once calm and collected.

- Ciara Grice

Ciara is an optimistic Peyton's sidekick slash bestfriend, she always has Peyton's back. Ciara was dragged by Peyton to join theatre back in high school and started to enjoy it ever since. Originally Ciara was supposed to attend in Julliard or NYU but she was rejected by both colleges and ended up in AMDA with her bestfriend Peyton. Just like Peyton, Ciara loses her cool 99% of the time and is hard to calm down.

Ciara is a parallel to Chloe Beale, both of them are best friends with a bossy blonde and they are both a literal ray of sunshine, they always look on the bright side of everything that faces their way. Also not to mention both of them having an interest on a short, grumpy, awkward person in their life.

- Bobbi Garcia

Bobbi was impulsively enrolled by her parents in AMDA, she has zero experience in the field of musical theatre or acting in general. But what she lacks in acting and dancing, she makes up in singing and musical arrangements since she had experience doing those kinds of things back in high school. Bobbi is introverted and more of a behind the scenes type of girl but slowly she gets out of her comfort zone as time progresses.

Bobbi is somewhat a parallel to Beca Mitchell, there are times that she'll push everyone away due to reasons (ex: Bobbi not fitting in with the others due to her lack of experience in theatre) They're also cold and they rarely show off their soft side to others.

- Jillian Peralta

Jillian grew up in a very small town in Texas where she does one woman shows for her high school since her school never funded anything for the arts, she's extroverted and super outgoing and has high expectations with life like the rest of them. She first became friends with Bobbi since they're dorm mates, her first interaction with her was when she thought that Bobbi was an intruder who came out of nowhere.

I really dont think that Jillian has a pitch perfect counterpart, if you think that Jillian has a pitch perfect counter part my ask box is open.

- Jackson Meyers

Jackson is described to be a guy who has limited experience with theatre since most of his theatre experience come from the consequences of his actions back in high school, which he enjoyed. He is chill and laidback, and not as rowdy as the other guy in the class. He somehow shows signs of interest in Bobbi, he tries talking to her and conversing with her from time to time as well.

- Todd Gomez

Todd is known to be the so called comic relief of the class, whenever there's dead air he would crack up a joke and all of them would start laughing. He is a huge flirt maybe a very masculine type of guy but he has a soft heart, there are times where he'd jokingly flirt with Peyton and mess around with her.

I'll make a part two, if anyone has suggestions or stuff my ask box is open :)

I hate your guts (and I know you hate mine) - SnowQueen AU - now available on AO3 (click here)

Oh Snap! was one of the most viewed TV series for three seasons. The show follows the personal and professional stories of several Julliard professors. For years, it was the show.

But after years of being queerbaited, the fans are considering to quit watching the show. The reason behind is that Laila Perez and Jenny Derry, main characters of this dramedy, have been hinted at during the entire show, but the season finale left the fans with a bittersweet taste. Robert Gold, creator and executive producer of the show, can't let that happen.

So, he decides to give the fans what they have wanted for so long. Laila and Jenny will have a romantic relationship.

The actresses don't seem to have a problem with it. Regina Mills, Laila's actress, and Margaret Snow, Jenny's actress, don't care about it that much. But things change when Gold discovers that the fans also think they could be a couple. He suggests them to pretend to be a couple until the season finishes and they can assure that the show won't be cancelled, but they don't seem to be thrilled about it.

In fact, they hate it.

Snow has recently come out of the closet, and her career seems to be sinking due to her weight gain and her complicated relationship with her ten year old daughter, Emma. After turning 43, she can't seem herself being the old star she was once.

Mills is dealing with her son's drug addiction being all over the media, and her legal battle to get the rights of her deceased husband, Daniel, is eating her alive. Even though she's just 45, she's considering to retreat forever.

And to top it all... they hate each other. Their personalities, beliefs and political ideas are completely opposite, and it's bad enough that they have to act nice towards each other, now they have to pretend to be dating.

But neither of them want a scandal of any sort, least of all to lose their jobs, so they will have to pretend to be a couple.

Will they be able to accomplish it? Or will they fail, cause a public scene, and lose their jobs?
