hmmm

Mack Chen-Porter - 24 - They/Any Name's Mack. I'm a musical theater grad student at NYADA, the grad captain of Vocal Adrenaline, and vaguely attempting to keep my younger brother out of trouble. Vaguely. Maybe. Not really. He's his own dude, I can't help you. My southern accent is a product of having lived in Texas for nearly 10 years. I’ve tried getting rid of it, it’s not going anywhere.

this is true. i need to be able to buy food, and pixie stix, and more labubus.

[mackchenporter]

why the pixie stix?

[email protected]: i know you've had it so rough, lately. is there anything i can do to try and make it better? i know we've never really talked about meeting, but how do you feel about a phone call? i've sent you covers so in theory you know what my voice sounds like. or i could send you a care package with the next email. i don't know. i just feel so powerless not being able to help you from so far away.

[mackchenporter]

[email protected]: nah, it's alright. mostly just been funneling the grief into my writing, keeping myself distracted, all that fun shit. uh, i mean, we could definitely call or something. it is a little wild that you've never heard my voice before.

[nyadafrannie]

If anyone needs me, I’ll be here trying to convince myself that grading papers counts as self-care. Or if you want to help me procrastinate, I'm open to that too. Surely you guys are up to more exciting things. Indulge me, please.

[mackchenporter]

I feel like if you have to convince yourself that doing your job is self care you have much more pressing matters to worry about.

JESSE: i just happen to walk swiftly sometimes. wasn't aware that was criminal activity. JESSE: i never signed up for co-captains. JESSE: i had the understanding that it would be me, and me alone in charge this year. JESSE: what conversation needs to be had? i have this all under control. you are more than welcome to take a step back, enjoy your retirement.

[mackchenporter]

Mack: And I never said I was relinquishing my position. The rules are the rules and while I'm not typically the kind to always follow the rules, I agree with this one, wholeheartedly. Mack: So either you stop running and hiding from me so we can start honoring our agreement from last year, come up with a new one, or I take it above both our heads and get someone from staff involved and I'll fight to have you removed as captain completely.

i got rid of my OF awhile ago because i thought lord tubbington didn't approve, but since he's running a gambling ring and reading my diary, i figure i don't have to a-peace him anymore. i made a lot on it before, so i'm sure i can do it again. a lot of desperate wallets out there.

Listen, if Tubbz has an issue with it he needs too take a long hard look at himself first. 'Sides, a person's gotta take care of themself, yeah? If it pays, it pays.

Pancake (feat. Ashnikko) - Jaded

"put it in my mouth and I might bite down" that is all.

Strut - Emeline

It's kind of their personal theme song?

A Bar Song (Tipsy) - Shaboozy

They've been line dancing again and they like this song.

Record Player - Daisy The Great & AJR

This is one of their vocal stims. If anyone is ever paying attention, you can probably catch Mack randomly singing lines from this.

Up On Game - RealXman

This is their go-to work out song right now.

Little Space - Sxye

This song is kind of always in Mack's playlist. It's one of the songs they listen to after nightmares.

Honorable Mentions:

Dolly Parton

Rent OBC

Everything I Know - In The Heights OBC

Pagans Went Down To Texas - Polk County Pagan Market

Wwdd - Lainey Wilson

Suit And Tie (Sixteen Tons) - Cooper Alan

See, this sounds to me like you've not yet been snatched up for a paired or group themed costume and that, to me, sounds like a real waste of an opportunity. Thank you for the advice, though! I appreciate your wisdom.

What's your favourite musical? Or movie?

[mackchenporter]

I don't like Halloween and I'm not the kinda person who has those kinds of friends.

Rent, hands down. Though, In The Heights, more the stage show than the film, holds a very special place in my heart. Though, in terms of movie only musicals, Repo! The Genetic Opera, which is also probably the only piece of media that has ever made me want to cosplay.

my onlyfriends is making a comeback, so keep your eyes peeled for the link to that in my instagram bio. i miss posting on there and doing topless talks, if you know you know. if you don't, topless talks are private live shows where i tell you about my day while topless. you'd be surprised at how many people choose that option.

[mackchenporter]

Part of me wants to be surprised by this information, the rest of me, however, is not. I imagine you make a decent amount doing that.
