this fandom is the friend thats too woke im sorry is that rude to say

I have this headcanon where after the accident (that they DEFINITELY survive) they become so close with each other that they eventually start giving each other platonic kisses on the cheeks and forehead :)

~~

[rtc-confessions]

This is just a nitpick. It's not even a serious concern, but it's so annoying to watch as people start using the workshop names for characters that ended up having different names, it makes no sense to me that there's now even more names to keep track of when the canon cut characters names were simply set.

WHOA THIS WAS MY CONFESSION, ALSO DW JUST BECAUSE I PERFER SPACERAPS OVER NISHA DOESNT MEAN I HATE IT

[rtc-confessions]

Don’t worry, that’s why I didn’t tag it as anti nischa lol. Also screw the new tumblr mobile update what is even happening.

*Meant to spell it as Бачинський in the ask. Was going off of memory

I think that the argument of “it’s not your character to decide” is a poor argument because people do a similar thing with ignoring the script changes to Ricky’s disability. Not the same thing but still fits the “changing an aspect of canon because canon did a shit job at representation”. The whole thing of “Misha not Mischa” comes from the fact that Mischa Bachinski is a romanized version of Міша Бачинські, but when using Ukrainian romanization rules, it becomes Misha Bachynskyi. Mischa Bachinski is a name using Russian romanization rules. Real actual Ukrainians have their names russified for so long, and it is a real world issue involving the oppression of Ukrainian people. We are not demanding to Jacob Richmond that he change the name in the script, it is simply something we add to fanworks and tumblr posts to be respectful to Ukrainian people. It is not meant to deliberately disrespect Richmond, but when some part of canon does a poor job at representation, doesn’t it make sense to modify it in fanworks?

I hope this makes sense and I hope you understand why people spell it like Misha Bachynskyi. Please correct me if I’m wrong on any of the facts :)

I’m gonna be honest, my main thought and concern on rtc going to the west end is Ricky’s disability. there’s going to be hundreds of new fans brought in by that production who have no clue about the history of ableism because all the official accounts basically ignore it.

~~

[rtc-confessions]

I just need to say, the amount of RTC roleplay accounts swarming the ride the cyclone tag is a bit annoying. Can people please just tag the character youre roleplaying and not completely overload the tag. this is not about art ask blogs, just the blogs that role play as if they are actually the characters and make a few sentence posts over and over .

~~

[rtc-confessions]

everyone who spells mischas name wrong should die by my blade "oh its accurate" hey its not your character to decide "well this guy said" i dont care

~~

[rtc-confessions]

This might sound harsh and controversial but I honestly couldn't give two shots about penny lamb I prefer Jane when she's just Jane 😭

~~

[rtc-confessions]

the amount that was cut out of the future RTC productions was NOT necessary

changing "rat-infested chinese dive" to "slattern dive?" i understand that!

but WHY did we need to completely change ricky, and ocean's perspective on him

the whole point was she was infantilising him because he's disabled and non-speaking and then throughout the play he basically (and indirectly) proves her wrong by you know showing he's this whole person

the whole point was "ableism is bad" 🙏

~~

[rtc-confessions]

i love these characters with my soul but if they were real and my classmates i would hate literally all of them but constance

~~

[rtc-confessions]

tammy edwards isnt a real character... and considering penny mentions her once and never again once 7up falls out of popularity within the week, I don't think she was ever all that good of a friend to penny.
