Somehow The Mack Returned

Black. Grown. Tired.

It doesn't matter if he's with his fictional wife or his real wife, I pray for either couple to "like my vibe" at a bar.

I don't care if a Black or diverse film makes a lot of money, plenty of white films flop and it barely matters. I just want these films to exist. They will find an audience eventually. The Five Heartbeats was a flop when it first came out but people still watch it and talk about it to this day.

I love how committed Hadestown is to giving Orphydice different races, ages and body types across productions. There is truly an Orpheus and Eurydice for everyone.

Having finally seen more clips of other full cast variants, yes! I must concur! 😁

My Toxic trait is that I think Fiyeraba and Gelphie are both excellent ships.

@hellsite-hall-of-fame i think this deserves to be here

I only love Pedro because Tita loves Pedro. That man ain’t shit 😒

[danykindaforgotaboutdre]

And you are so very based for that 😌

[danykindaforgotaboutdre]

Possibly hot take?

I think The OG Broadway Six's funniest Queen is Catherine of Aragon. This isn't because she was written as such, I think Anne Boleyn, Anne of Cleves and Katherine Howard are all written to be funnier and they're absolutely hilarious, don't get me wrong, but Adrianna Hicks's performance pushes her over the edge to me. Her physicality, inflections, and expressions take me tf out every time she says or does anything 😂

Janet, '04

[danykindaforgotaboutdre]

Why is she standing like she wants to attract women?

[danykindaforgotaboutdre]

Her Katherine Howard means so much to me you have no idea.

[danykindaforgotaboutdre]

Not to be dramatic, but I would fucking die for her.

The “make your own” rhetoric makes a certain sense at the outset. My issue with it is

At any given moment, legions of Black and nonBlack poc are indeed making their own, they’re writing books, making comics, putting on plays, making short films, they are doing everything that white creatives are doing. To say “make your own” is implying that they are too stupid and lazy to have thought of that.

It’s never coming from a place of encouragement, only dismissal of very real concerns over a lack of representation in creative fields.

Anyway, to wrap it up, yes, please make your own stuff. Write that play, film that short, publish that book, collaborate with other creative folks who want to help bring your vision to life. It may not be a surprise hit that jumpstarts your career, but it can be incredibly rewarding in its own way. And also, never stop demanding more from the institutions with the resources to truly nurture these projects and turn them into surprise hits. There is room for everyone, it’s harmful to pretend otherwise.
