hi I figured that for the new year I'd actual make a bio post for my blog considering I've had this blog for years and I keep meaning to do this

I'm a bit of a name hoarder so Ashton/Ash but I'll answer to anything. they/them as my preference but he/him is also not the worst

I'm into quite a few fandoms and I don't use queue so don't expect consistency. I love podcasts and ttrpgs but I'm also into various other stuff

I'm currently studying classics and archaeology so you bet I'm obsessed with mythology but anything even vaguely history based will get me deeply invested

but anyways mutuals feel free to dm me to rant about interests or just to chat/send me asks

p.s sorry about any spelling mistakes on my blog but they're not gonna stop any time soon baaaabyyyy

One of the biggest differences between the 1998/2014 runs of Cabaret and the most recent run is the ending. Alan Cumming’s Emcee, for his final act, does a strip tease. He winks lasciviously and toys with his buttons. The audience laughs. Then, when he finally drops his coat, he reveals he is wearing a concentration camp uniform. If you don’t know it’s coming, it’s utterly shocking. This was not how the original Broadway run ended. Community theaters and smaller productions basically all adopted this way of doing things, putting their own little spins on it but fundamentally not changing anything.

In the most recent Cabaret revival, the Emcee is much more sinister. About halfway through the play, he is no longer wearing makeup. He wears a brown suit reminiscent of a Nazi uniform. His hair is shockingly blond. But I think this interpretation is not just about the transformation of the soul of Germany as it bent towards fascism — I think it is also a tragic ending. This vibrant, queer character goes back into the closet to try to survive. It’s not death, like it was for Cummings’ emcee.

But I think about the slogan I hear from some friends — “death before detransition.” Re-closeting is its own kind of death. This Emcee lives at the end, but does he really? What does it cost him?

I feel like I need to share this because idk if Europeans are familiar with the presence of Aldi in the US, but at least especially in my area they’ve been growing a lot recently. Like Aldi bought out some local failing grocery chains where I live (Louisiana) and have opened Aldis in all these somewhat rural communities and small towns, which for the record I’m fine with

But as a result of this they are advertising a lot more in my area and also in many cases, the people in these areas have never been confronted with Aldi or any European grocery store. So the ads that Aldi is pushing out to its new US customer base feature a cowboy shopping at Aldi who is explaining to new Aldi customers how Aldi works. Like this cowboy is explaining you gotta put a quarter in the shopping cart and why there are very little name brands. A cowboy is how they want to reach their American customer base. They gave us a cowboy

"why can't they just be friends?" not in the homophobic sense, but in the "in your need to center romance in everything you are missing the whole point of the media in question" sense
