Helloooooo, I'm Kev (Abby for friends) she/her, I'm primarily a fandom lurker and occasional yapper. I'm also a Vocaloid coverist (although not very active) and you can find my work on YouTube @/abboiip!

I am literally the no1 Bill Finn fan apparently?

My main fandoms/interests on this blog include:

- Vocaloid

- Starkid/TCB

- The Magnus Archives

- IT

- Dear Dumb Diary

- Operation Mincemeat

- Bill Finn Musicals (Falsettos, In Trousers, A New Brain, Spelling Bee)

- Disco Elysium

- Musical theatre in general

- Occasional Mandela Catalogue and 6teen posting as well

General interests of mine include art, performing, reading (specifically a lot of manga tbh), sound mixing, composing occasionally, making vocal synth covers and rhythm gaming!

PLEASE ask me about the Catch Me If You Can FBI agents if you're curious! I played Agent Cod in a CMIYC production in Spring 2025 and these guys have been on the mind for so long.

I occasionally post art, which you can find in #abbys silly art, but other than that, I'm mostly just lurking in all of my fandoms

Anyone is free to interact, but I also block freely depending on things I may or not be triggered by or dislike, it is nothing personal. I typically block to avoid reblog bait specifically.

[horizon-of-impossibility]

something something monty's "or my name's not ewen montagu" in bevan's update echoing "or my name isn't bernard spilsbury" when neither of them was actually trustworthy

[lux-et-astra]

writing for mincemeat again for the first time in ages and it's FUN but i'm so scared of not hitting the spot with characterisation. firing squad levelled at me ready to pull the trigger if i make monty say something he shouldn't

[beetlesyourjuice]

i was going to try write one big post about all the new y4 mince principals but i started writing this and realized maddie needed her own post so here are my ramblings.

i never caught maddie when she was a cover in any of her roles and was delighted to hear i’d have a chance to see her now. she really, really blew me away with some of her acting choices and her vocals are incredible. her eyebrows might as well have been a sixth actor because boy were they working overtime. due to her age and having heard that she’s a very joyous monty, i was worried she might lack the power or authority of other monty’s, but that simply wasn’t the case. the only way i can think to describe how she plays him is incredibly oblivious to just how manipulative he’s being, while also clearly being on the brink of a breakdown as the show goes on. she has the audience absolutely hooked around her finger with every little wink and gesture, while also being very scary in act two during the jean scene and the father scene. the audience was so clearly on edge that not a single person laughed when she made the “father” jokes. she bounces off the rest of the cast extremely well, and her and ahmed really make charles and monty feel like friends and like they’re growing closer throughout the show (until they’re not). she’s very very smiley, but it only serves to make monty more charming and made me believe he truly has no clue that what he’s doing can be downright mean and controlling, it’s just what he’s always done and been expected to do. my god can she dance, and it is glorious. chloe almost broke her after the “what do we have to lose” “the war” part of the pitch, which was brilliant, and chloe DID break her juan during the morgue scene. after juan didn’t get his cake the entire crowd went “awww” which resulted in chloe turning to the audience and mocking the “awww”. maddie proceeded to very clearly giggle to herself so hard that she couldn’t do the juan frown and was instead kinda manically grinning.

some specific acting moments that i jotted down and thought were great:

- maddie!monty doesn’t know his left and rights (turn left at france) he does the L things with his hands before nodding to the left

- her cockney voice is so squeaky that i cried laughing in surprise

- “james james… i think i might be sick”

- she points a LOT, reminds me of alex with ties

- she does a split jump thing in jft

- very trans coded monty right here!! he crosses his hands over his chest a lot, especially post his first failed pitch when he’s talking to charles. maddie!monty might actually be the most trans coded monty i’ve seen live.

- looks jean up and down in the pitch and mouths “wow”

- her acting pre jft is so fucking good

- her scream when spilsbury comes through the blackboard is pure terror

- when maddie!juan has the yellow hat and phone he excitedly compares the two and mouths “amarillo” to himself and it is ADORABLE OH MY GOD

- before calling haselden a genius, monty gives charles a sort of knowing look that solidified for me that maddie!monty is not using genius as a way to manipulate charles. the look she gives him very much reads like “watch what i’m about to say to this dumbass, know you’re different because you are a genius”

- she’s in the air a lot

- she REALLY does not want it to come out that monty is a filmmaker - other monty’s almost seem to be pretending to fight for the files back because they want to show off their brilliance, maddie!monty is terrified of people finding out

- “at least it’s not a bloody musical” followed by spinning in a circle, little leg kicks, and grinning at the audience in delight at his own jokes

i saw this sign while i was in london and all i could think was: monty would buy this and put it on the basement door

TED SPANKOFFSKI — PAINTING

Art of one of my favorite characters, THEODORE / TED SPANKOFFSKI! Honestly, not too satisfied with how it turned out, but I'm too much of a coward to fuck it up. I'll go over it on digital to edit & add things later. But, hey, freakin' love it! TIME : 1 day and 2 hours

i feel like not enough people talk about mimi schwinn, a mother having to mourn both her son and his father despite them also both living. she does NOT get a break, also, her calling out to gordon at the end of brain dead will never fail to make me cry.

like despite how much she has lost and how much she continues to lose in conjunction with gordons deterioration throughout the musical, her entire philosophy is about life continuing despite loss. she remains dignified through it all and she is just such a wonderfully full and living character i don't know how else to describe it

[troutmemo]

it drives me absolutely bonkers insane how much the real ewen montagu wanted people to know about the way they carried out mincemeat, vs how much charles cholmondeley wanted it (and especially his own involvement in it) kept secret. and how they (presumably) never worked together again but montagu still wrote cholmondeley's obituary 40 years later. and how in that obituary he explicitly revealed cholmondeley's involvement in the operation. as far as we know montagu never got cholmondeley's consent to do that while he was alive, so you'd think he should have respected that after his death. especially since, based on the letters we've seen, it seems their differences in opinions were never resolved. but the obit doesnt read as spiteful. it reads as proud: "many citizens of london who survived the v bombs and many who landed in sicily owe their lives to charles cholmondeley"

im thinking about how all this is transferred into the musical in that one section montlie have together in glitzy ("we made a change and thats enough and no one needs to know how we won" / "the world needs to know we were making a man"). it really foreshadows that post-canon dynamic we can only assume the characters would go on to have based on the real history. and i'm very compelled by the concept of musical monty feeling this desperate urge to secure charles' legacy in history as well as his own, even if he has to do it against charles' will, even if it's after charles' death, when he can no longer beg monty not to. im envisioning an older, stubborn, repressed, grieving monty, who has long since convinced himself he's doing a good thing for charles. because all monty has ever wanted is for people to know his name, so in revealing charles' he's doing for him what he would have wanted for himself. but they have vastly different desires (again, as depicted in that dichotomous glitzy duet). and while monty might, by this point, have an illusory, idealised version of charles in his mind that is grateful for what monty has done for him, the real charles would have hated it. and on some level monty knows it

Song: last words of a shooting star by Mitski

[pronouncingitwang]

[ID: A series of drawings of Tim Stoker from TMA overlaid with lyrics from Mitski’s “Last Words of a Shooting Star.” Tim is a pale-brown-skinned Asian man with neck-length hair and stubble. He has an eyebrow slit and wears black earrings.

1. Tim is shown from the waist down, wearing shorts and clutching a flashlight that shines red light at the viewer. He asks, “Danny?” The lyrics read, “I always wanted to.”

2. Again, Tim is shown from the waist down. He is wearing a black suit jacket and black slacks. He holds a bouquet of flowers, one red and the rest white. The lyrics read, “I always wanted to die clean and pretty.”

3. There are two photos pinned to a wall. One of the thumbtacks is a smiley face. One picture, labeled “Tim & Danny ‘12,″ shows Tim with his arm around Danny. Danny is a younger, pale-brown-skinned, clean-shaven Asian man. Both make peace signs at the camera. Danny is grinning and Tim is sticking his tongue out. The second picture is labeled “Danny’s b-day!” It shows Danny grinning with a sash labeled “21st” around him. He holds a cup in one hand. The lyrics read, “But I’d be too busy on.”

4. Tim’s desk, which has a sheet of paper labeled “The Great Grimaldi” on it. Above the paper is a tape recorder, and next to it is Tim’s hand, now dotted with worm scars. The lyrics read, “working days.”

5. Tim is at his desk talking animatedly with Sasha, who is a brown-skinned woman with long, wavy, black hair and red glasses. They both sit at laptops with an eye logo on the back, and both have nameplates on their desk. The lyrics read, “So I am relieved that the.”

6. Tim is sitting at the same desk, looking grieved. He has worm scars and is looking at Sasha’s empty seat. Her glasses are on the desk, and there are filing boxes stacked up near her area. The lyrics read, “So I am relieved that the turbulence wasn’t forecasted.”

7. Tim is smiling and unscarred, wearing a white dress shirt and a nametag. Lyrics read, “I couldn’t have.”

8. Tim is older and scarred now. He scowls, wearing a red v-neck and brown jacket. Lyrics read, “I couldn’t have changed anyway.”

9. Tim stands, holding up the detonator in the Unknowing. His teeth are gritted as his thumb hovers over the button. In the foreground, we see the back of Nikola - a mannequin wearing a ringmaster outfit. She has her arm raised. Lyrics read, “I am relieved that I’d left my room tidy.”

10. The final drawing zooms in on Tim’s face. His teeth are still gritted, faintly resembling a smile. A tear trickles down his eye. Lyrics read, simply, “Goodbye.”
