Hello there. Welcome to my grab bag of fandoms, theatre, things that amuse me, and the occassional hipster picture or two. Main fandoms are Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Les Mis, and Phantom of the Opera. Also, read my tags because that's where I usually talk the most...

So apparently I just picked up an $8,000 organ off of the curb

Boycott “The Forest” and watch the documentary, “Aokigahara: Suicide Forest”, instead.

Aokigahara: Suicide Forest:

Educates viewers about Aokigahara and the issue of suicide in Japan

It’s a documentary so everything stated is based on facts.

The Forest:

Romanticizes and trivializes suicide, death and the Aokigahara forest which is a real forest in Japan where people go to commit suicide. In fact, suicides in the forest are still happening today so it is extremely disrespectful. It’s been happening for the last 30 years—over 100 bodies are found in Aokigahara every year.

Suicide in Japan is a national crisis.

The mental health stigma in Japan is horrible.

The film is set in Japan but the main cast is dominantly white with a white female blonde lead. Not only that, it also doesn’t mention depression. This then leads to ableist erasure of Asian people, especially Japanese people, with mental health issues.

The film perpetuates the model minority myth which assumes that Asians are universally intelligent or rich, are able-bodied and don’t suffer from mental illness. Everybody believes Asians are rich and smart enough to access healthcare when in fact, this isn’t true at all.

Instead of talking about the real important issues happening today, Hollywood took the tragedies of the Aokigahara forest suicides and turned them into a Hollywood horror movie which in turn, dehumanizes not only Asians around the globe affected by mental health, but those who have already committed suicide. 

Please do not see The Forest in the cinemas. Do not buy tickets to see it. A terrible movie does not deserve any support.

May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art – write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.

Neil Gaiman  (via wordsnquotes)

Fun musical date ideas

Practising in adjacent practice rooms. Applauding through the wall periodically

Going to a fancy piano showroom. Playing heart and soul on every piano, make intelligent comments about the action and timbre, and seeing how long it takes for you to be kicked out

Any kind of co-operative musical instrument playing. One piano hand each? Sure. I play the chords and you strum? Absolutely. You finger and I blow….? Yes?

You tell me my audition pieces sound great while I cry about the inevitability of my musical failure

Attending a random school’s Christmas concert. Enjoying the refreshments, critiquing the performance and relishing the freedom of anonymity

Attending a small local church’s carol service. Sing descants (whatever your voice part) with gay abandon and remain serious, whatever looks you get

Making each other playlists

Cuddling and paying ‘name that tune’

Testing each other on scales - playing it right earns a kiss ;)

Add more???
