Babysitting a toddler is a lot like being the narration in a point-and-click adventure game. Watching him knock on the doors of empty rooms and saying "hmm. I don't think anyone's in there". Watching him attempt to use [spoon] on [cat] and saying "I don't think those things go together". Watching him throw a cup of water onto the floor and just commenting "the floor is wet now" when he looks up at me to see if I approve.
Unexpected Beauty
A masterpiece of Baroque imagination.
Part satyr, part woodland spirit, this extraordinary 17th-century sculpture by Christof Angermair transforms ivory and stag antlers into something both powerful and poetic. The work feels almost alive—its expressive face emerging from nature itself, blurring the line between myth, artistry, and the natural world.
What fascinates me most is how perfectly this object embodies the spirit of its age. Created during a period that celebrated wonder, curiosity, and virtuoso craftsmanship, it is a reminder that great art often lives at the intersection of imagination and technical mastery.
The quality of the carving is astonishing. Every curl of the beard, every furrow of the brow, every contour of the face reveals the hand of a master sculptor. Yet it is the unexpected pairing of materials—precious ivory and rugged antlers—that elevates the piece from sculpture to revelation.
Okay,I just want to share the super cool fucking site I found
Ever wanted to exercise more, but didn’t know how/didn’t have a plan/were overwhelmed by the insane number of choices online/no money?
Look at darebee. All of their workout plans are FREE, come with timers and checkboxes right on the page, and even better, ARE OFTEN RPG THEMED so you can fucking role play while you exercise wtff (and yes, the story and the workout changes with your choices)
They have programs for if you only want to do seated exercises, programs if you don’t want to get on the floor, and programs for ALL levels of fitness, including injury recovery.
Plus, if like me, you get anxious about making sure you’re doing it right, they have a full free library of videos for each exercise.
AND ALL THIS SHIT IS NOT JUSTS FREE, IT'S AD-FREE
Go forth and defeat your enemies
No lie, I am on day 5 of this and it’s a game changer.
I’m gonna rewatch the musical for the second time some other day, but here’s the stuff I loved from the first rewatch:
Phoebus and Clopin interactions pleasantly surprised me. Clopin interactions in general! Loved that he got more screen/stage time. LOVE that Clopin hates his ass, he was ON SIGHT when Phoebus stepped in the Court of Miracles (cheering for him)
I LOVE EVERY ESME AND CLOPIN MOMENTS AUGFH. Love that all their scenes together is just Clopin being stressed out asf for her wellbeing😭
Exhibit A: Clopin helps her escape the guards after helping Quasimodo.
Exhibit B: Cockblocking Phoebus (deserved)
And yet for all the troubles that followed Esmeralda, he doesn’t leave her behind (I will proceed to be extremely normal about this.)
I love the Top of the World smm😭 I didn’t like it at first when I was just listening to it, I didn’t know the scene had moments of Esmeralda learning sign language from Quasimodo while they were singing AUGFH THEY’RE SO SWEET.
Though I have to say, I prefer the scene in Disney when Esmeralda gave the necklace to Quasimodo in case he needed a place to take refuge instead of the musical where she gave the necklace much later, so Quasimodo could help Phoebus meet her when he’s better.
Love the extended exchanges between Esmeralda and Frollo. Their scene was like a heavy weight in contrast to the lighthearted moment after Top of the World. Frollo impressively hit the ableist-pedo-sexist-racist quadruple combo in one scene by saying (1) he sees Quasimodo nothing more than a child, (2) Esmeralda refutes and he responds by saying he ALSO sees her as a child (while also lusting for her), and (3) claims Esmeralda’s soul is unclean because she’s Romani and didn’t want to be saved (when really, she just called him out for being a creep🤮)
Idk why the The Court of Miracles’ melody was changed, it kinda sounds much more cartoony than the disney version? That’s the only thing I’m sad about in the soundtrack (and maybe some parts of Topsy Turvy but I get the changes).
Also kinda sad about “why invite their calumny and consternation” being changed into “why invite their curses and consternation” because the og flowed better + it was the exact words Frollo used in the book.
Rest and Recreation is so good and it became even better when I realized that leitmotif WAS used in the film as Phoebus’ leitmotif (while listening to Paris is Burning), and they turned it into a full song for him.
The stagecraft of this musical still BLOWS me away. Like the slo-mo part in Rhythm of the Tambourine I paused and rewinded bc HOW IS THAT FABRIC SUSPENDED IN MOTION?? Until I saw that someone gave Esmeralda a different stiff prop of the shawl before she climbed on the stage. The sudden change in lighting giving spotlight to Esmeralda and the three men helped get into the feel of hearing their thoughts. Very smooth transition.
I know it’s a common stagecraft to clap your hands to fake slap but it felt so real when Frollo slapped Quasimodo, I literally gasped bc I did NOT remember Frollo being physical in the play on my first watch. He’s also openly more racist, it shocked me.
They used the trick again when the crowd was throwing rotten produce at Quasimodo at the pillory. No props, just shared delusion (theatre in a nutshell). Michael Arden did such a good job creating a convincing movement of being hit, the crowd hid the claps well too.
And then we also have this magic:
Orange light on a fabric, actors flapping it to create a wavy movement, some smoke effect - boom, molten lead.
Oh my goddd the scene where Esmeralda was imprisoned still makes me cry. It’s still as visceral and uncomfortable as ever. Ciara Renee’s scream is so haunting.
This line fucks me up so bad. The way her voice cracked when she said she didn’t feel very brave. She’s been nothing but brave the whole time. So hard to watch.
Cue The Waterworks when it transitioned to Someday. Heartbreaking, haunting, hopelessly hopeful even at her lowest moment. I’m so unwell.
(Also side note: set design is CRAZY for making the space feel like a cage when the only implication of bars are the very same railing prop just propped vertically to act as prison bars. Lighting does a good job of making the stage feel desolate. Lighting is so so important)
And ofc, the best parts of the Finale (which is every part btw):
I lock in when “Libera me domine de morte aeterna” comes the fuck on. So fucking HYPE.
The whole Salutaris verse. Not gonna expound on it bc it’s so good I cant
I do miss the very high soprano part in “In excelsis” tho but FUCK THAT WHOLE VERSE ASCENDED ME TO HEAVEN’S GATES IN BOTH FILM/MUSICAL VERSIONS. Nothing will top the dopamine the Sanctuary ost gives me.
Phoebus and Clopin rallying the people! As much as I pettily dislike Phoebus, I love his parts in every song he’s in. He gets the best parts like wth annoying asf/j. I love that he took Esmeralda’s hopes and prayers to the heart, he sang God Help the Outcasts in Esmeralda and Someday in Finale.
I LOVE that they included Clopin here. I don’t know if I recall correctly but wasn’t he the one who originally rallied the people in the book? As much as I’d love it to be him in the musical also, it makes sense why they had to change it to Phoebus.
MADE OF STONE REPRISE IS SO FUCKJNG HYPE. Notre Dame herself literally hyping my man UP. YEAH GO FUCK THEM UP QUASI!!🔥
I didn’t realize it was Florika and Jehan who sang “the wicked shall not go unpunished” until I read the lyrics (clenching my chest)
“The world is cruel, the world is ugly, but there are times and there are people where the world is not. And at its cruelest it’s still the only world we’ve got.” 28 STAB WOUNDS.
Phew got that out of my chest. Can’t wait to rewatch this again

How to see whether a Chinese handmade teapot is well done or not - quality of the spout is an important standard.
cr: 承启 建水紫陶
that last teapot is like witnessing an eternal and important truth
I just watched this with the sound on and i really recommend it because the utter silence of the last teapot is both perfectly predictable and totally remarkable.

Astoria - Backstage Tour!
A daily game that challenges our understanding of human cultures. Ten objects. 5,000 years of human history. Guess where and when each artif
An interesting game where you are presented with 10 artifacts from the MET. You have to place where the artifact is from and what time period it is from. Each artifact scores up to 10,000 points, and you lose points the further away your guess is and how far off in time you are. You can only play once a day. Thanks to @baebeylik for showing this to me.
Today I scored really well. Yesterday ... not so much.
