My World

Trying to find out the meaning of life, so I'm studying it for a living.

I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative, one that I have never asked to be a part of, since 2009.

Taylor Swift standing up for herself and inspiring me more. So say whatever you want.

a brief introduction to assorted hamilton characters

alexander hamilton: if u forget his name, don’t worry, he’ll say it again in like five seconds

aaron burr: the biggest plot twist of the show is realizing you give a shit about him

eliza schuyler: is a sweetheart who doesn’t deserve this shit

angelica schuyler: is smarter + prettier than u

john laurens: there’s a nonzero chance he and hamilton moved undercover and moved as one (if ur picking up what i’m putting down)

lafayette: he came all the way from france to rap at the speed of sound

hercules mulligan:

thomas jefferson: he came all the way from france to ruin everything

Phillip Hamilton 😭

Hercules Mulligan needs no introduction. When you knock him down, he gets the f*** back up again!

Okay, so I played Mama Asaka in my middle school's production of Once on This Island. I kinda found this video unexpectedly and was so happy to see it. Lin's one of my favorite people, and he's lip-syncing to my song!!!

Question about Hamilton?

Can someone explain why it is symbolic that Aaron Burr dresses Hamilton in his street jacket, the army jacket, and the stylish green jacket in Act 1? I'm trying to analyze this on my own, but I can't put it eloquently.

[anything-sherlock]

I seriously couldn’t help myself.

Sorry not sorry

[astergirl01]

Okay, I'm really late with this, but on the Periscope video "A Linnister Keeps His Promise", Jonathan Groff and Lin were going through the comments. Jonathan read outloud "You two should make out." Now I have watched that video several times, and I never found that comment. TL;DR: Jonathan Groff wanted to make out with Lin again and it didn't happen and I'm kinda sad about it.

People talk about China’s pollution, but isn’t that just our pollution in China? ‘We’ moved the factories over specifically for lax environmental laws and cheap labor. China’s pollution is our pollution.

50 Cent should have a cologne named 50 Scent

[astergirl01]

He could have 50 different types of scents. It's good marketing, really.

When the Moghul Empire invaded during the sixteenth century, they left a significant mark on the Indian cuisine, according to Texas A&M University. Indian cuisine is also influenced by many other countries. It is known for its large assortment of dishes and its liberal use of herbs and spices. Cooking styles vary from region to region.

Wheat, Basmati rice and pulses with chana (Bengal gram) are important staples of the Indian diet. The food is rich with curries and spices, including ginger, coriander, cardamom, turmeric, dried hot peppers, and cinnamon, among others. Chutneys — thick condiments and spreads made from assorted fruits and vegetables such as tamarind and tomatoes and mint, cilantro and other herbs — are used generously in Indian cooking.

Many Hindus are vegetarians, but lamb and chicken are common in main dishes for non-vegetarians. The Guardian reports that between 20 percent and 40 percent of India’s population is vegetarian.

Much of Indian food is eaten with fingers or bread used as utensils. There is a wide array of breads served with meals, including naan, a leavened, oven-baked flatbread, and bhatoora, a fried, fluffy flatbread common in North India and eaten with chickpea curry.

Marvel has been killing it recently! Jessica Jones is absolutely spectacular, and boom, now the Civil War trailer and posters are out. :D

Can someone invent a period simulator for men? This has to include everything: acne breakouts, cramps, mood swings, cravings, and heavy flow. This way, the next time men “in charge” discuss birth control methods for women, they realize that some women take these pills to lessen these effects and start having a meaningful and somewhat informed discussion.

Today, I decided to bake for the first time in two years. I’m making brownies with butter substitute, splenda, and fat free chocolate syrup. I’m trying my best to make it fat-free and sugar-free. It just might end up being taste-free, though. :/

The Danish Girl - Casting Issues

If any of the people complaining about how Eddie Redmayne is playing the role of a transgender woman read the book, you would know the majority of it takes place while Einar is still biologically male. He starts wearing women’s clothes and calling himself Lili while he was still technically a biological male. In fact, for most of the book, it seems as though Einar and Lili are sharing a male body. The book goes into detail about Einar’s childhood, how he met and fell in love with Gerda (his wife), and then how he realizes that he is actually a woman. Later in the book, Einar has to find out what exactly his medical problem is once he realizes he feels freer as a woman. He researches by reading on past cases of gender identity and has multiple doctors give him wrong diagnoses (schizophrenia, multiple personality disorder, etc.) 

What I’m saying is that the majority of this book, soon to be a film, is going to cover Einar and him finally realizing his true self - as a woman. From a casting director’s point of view, I could see how casting this role could be difficult. They were thinking about having a cis-woman play this role entirely, which would have caused issues due to the fact that this film should mainly be about a Einar’s transition into becoming female. I know that having a cis-male play this role is causing a lot of outrage. However, that’s what Einar was until he discovered who he really was. He loved his wife, physically and emotionally.

Unfortunately, we live in a world where most people will only go see a movie if there’s a certain amount of star-power to it. If Eddie Redmayne is in a movie, his fans will go see it. Even though he is a cis-male, he is bringing attention to those who are transgender. If you have ever seen his films, you know that he will commit himself fully to the role. One day, we won’t need to rely on cis-actors to play transgender roles. Until then, I am keen on watching this film and hoping that transgender rights will be even more focused on in 2015.

Okay, I know we’re all impressed by Claire’s running in high heel skills, but can we take a minute and congratulate the designer of her high heels? Seriously, I want a pair of high heels that won’t break if I’m running away from dinosaurs or give me blisters throughout a whole day of running. I think Jurassic World’s costume designer should go into shoe manufacturing full-time. They would make billions.
