Happiness Will Come To You.
when tho
When You Least Expect It. Probably Late March
reblog for happiness to come for you in late march!
I reblogged this last year and I hung out with blink-182 backstage on March 30. Reblogging again because it worked the first time.
honestly, last year one of the best days of my life happened in late March
I’m really looking forward to late March!
You guys!!!!!! Xena Warrior Musical is doing a kickstarter to raise money to record the performance so everyone around the world can see it!!!
I already made a longer post explaining everything but because of the links, it won’t show up in the tags D: Take a look at my pinned post for more info.
I’m so excited!!!
Love the moments in Xena: Warrior Princess where the music swells and Xena says something like “Gabrielle, stay back. This is Menthos, god of brain aneurisms” and the camera cuts to, and I cannot stress this enough, Literally Just Some Guy From New Zealand
the tags in the notes are incredible and they're all 10000% accurate, i am wheezing
I have no idea if this will even get any responses, but I’m not sure who in my real life to ask:
I’m 85% of the way through a CTM embroidery project. Each character who has lived in Nonnatus is represented by a flower on the embroidery- (for example, Sr Monica Joan is a dandelion bc she loves the weeds, Valerie is a poppy bc she was an army nurse, Trixie is a Portofino Citrix flower, etc) because Nonnatus tends to their allotment and flowers are a big representational aid in the show.
I’m really struggling with deciding which flower to give Patsy. I originally thought a White Magnolia because they’re the flower of Shanghai (where she was born) but I also feel like she doesn’t really have ties to it past her father and it being the location of her birth, so I’ve been contemplating the idea of a Carnation, because the red coloured carnations represent strength, love and compassion.
Since the piece is square, the corners have been embroidered with interlocking couples (Chummy and Peter, Shelagh and Patrick, Patsy and Delia and Barbara and Tom) so whichever flower I decide on for Patsy is going to be interlocked with a daffodil that represents Delia.
So which flower would suit Patsy more? A white magnolia or a red carnation?
White Magnolia or Carnation?
Magnolia
Carnation

Ever After (1998) - Prince Henry Costume (Dougray Scott) Costume Designer - Jenny Beavan (x) "Dougray played Prince Henry - the romantic hero - but was always being saved by ‘Cinderella’ - the film has a nice feminist, modern twist to it. He needed to look heroic but ‘real’ and vulnerable. This costume is an 'every day princely look' but quite practical for riding and being out and about in the country. Just looking back at the photos Dougray does look rather good in it! The cloak may not have been worn much with this outfit but could have been! I try and create a ‘wardrobe’ for each character to cover all possibilities not only for the weather, but also for the directors and actors whims!"
I Present; Mimi Imfurst vs Everyone by William Shakespeare
Alexis: Troth, my bar in its entirety had no use for my service since the valiant Mimi hath conquered it. By my troth, I do love the lady, as it was, to my knowledge, no fault of thine. However, I do feel quite betrayed.
they pause
Alexis: In my own division, by my own heart, I am truly sorry, but each lady I do see before me, is of fairer face than thou.
Mimi: But pause, but pause, here is…if thy tongue hath a quarrel with thy head which doth possess, in faith, nothing heartier than thoughts of myself, I say do! Let us quarrel in the arena of these secretest of desires which I know you to have many: When a Lord does approach thee, or thee! Or thee! With talk of employment; wouldst thou not be a fool as to refuse him? I swear it, I caught no wind of news that the Lord of the bar had relieved thee of thy employment. And if thou hast a February face for it; do talk with me before such clouds overtake you, lady.
Alexis: Thou-
Mimi: Nay, nay, nay! I hath given over mine ear most graciously: Henceforth, you shall lend me thine for the briefest of moments, in which you will feel hellfire upon it.
Alexis: The fool struts, lady. The fool struts.
Mimi: We do live upon this earth, where man, woman and child, gaze daggers upon us like unskilled jesters in the king's court. Or such lowly creatures which serve only to their pleasure, but sour in the mouths of favour.
Tammie: O! O! I am a player.
Mimi: For what reason, are we gentlewomen, seated in this hour, to fleet and jeer at one another? I’ faith, tis’ vile.
Manila: Vile? Tis’ not vile! We ladies talk freely to one another now, as cousins do to cousins.
Chad: Fie! All you, stop thy mouths!
Mimi: Lowly jests and gossip like humour. I did not come to be whipped.
Manila: And what did you think to happen, trow? Thy mind and body are weary of such repetition!
Tammie: O! Advance Teletubbie! Bring us henceforth to a land redder than earth!
Manila: What means the knave?
Manila aside
Manila: Dost the dog speak in earnest?
Mimi: I did not think to… nay.
Tammie: Switch thy attires Mimi!
(Sung)
Switch thy attires, switch them around!
Chad aside
Chad: I did think the lady Mimi to have taken up new lodgings in a whiter heart. However I hath been much deceived. And do look upon the lady I do know as, the former Mimi.
Mimi: I must speak my mind; Tis’ odd to speak of any matter which did not see thy face, nor the walls of any room you may have here.
Raven: Then you must shield thy ear, Mimi. Because we ladies have spoken such.
A pause
Raven: Thy! The Lady Mimi Imfurst hath surpassed the spaces reserved for the fifth and the fourth? I did not dare trust my true judgement!
Mimi: Mock not my friends, stale!
Raven: Of the crowd I have seen, thou dost not possess so many to call it such. Meaning, of all fifty good and true ladies that hath set foot in this place, how didst thou surpass them?
Yara: Ay! Because the Lord Rupaul is in the need for a premier fool!

Floofy Shirt Sew-along - Step 0: Getting Started
I’m thinking we’ll start properly in August to give people the time to find fabric. For now we’ll do some measurements so we know how much fabric we need and get the preliminaries out of the way.
I’m just gonna spend the next ten minutes talking about this actress.
Ashley- Fucking- Johnson.
I watched an interview once where she said that the only thing she brings to her voice work or acting is herself and she can’t do any of the ‘special’ stuff that other voice actors can do.
But the little face in this gif absolutely fucking floored me when I watched Exandria Unlimited Episode 3.
I’ve been a fan of Ashley’s for a few years now, and originally came to Critical Role after having seen her performances elsewhere (The Last of Us, What Women Want, Recess, etc) and it floors me the level of acting she puts in.
We hear it in just her voice as Ellie in the Last of Us and I don’t think I’m the only one who’d probably give their left arm to see the mocap footage all the way through of Game 2.
But with her Critical Role characters- she allows her face to be seen too- so we can see the amazing level of detail she puts in.
Let’s start with Pike:
Now I’m still getting through C1 (after having come in quite late game with that- so I decided to start from the beginning after)
With Pike- she’s very motherly. But she has a carefree instinct that gives her such a charm- and you can see it so much in the way Ashley plays her.
She has obligations but she doesn’t let it stop her from protecting the ones she loves or finding her own happiness.
I feel like Pike in that way is very much like Ashley (probably because Pike was one of Ashley’s first dives into DnD, so they’re more similar than the rest.)
In Ashley’s face, for Pike, especially when talking to Grog- for example- her face is patient, almost a concerned hopeful expression on her face. (You can spot it while she’s trying to teach Grog to spell his name). And Ashley tells a lot with her facial features.
But what I see most about Pike is that when Ashley plays her, she elongates her neck- almost as if Pike is trying to act taller than she is, but it also works for Pike as a motherly figure- as it allows Ashley’s posture to be more authoritative- which to me, Pike is, being the motherly friend of the group.
Along with elongating her neck, Ashley also juts her chin forward and up when she’s Pike, which softens her face into more of a rounded shape- that we often associate with more maternal figures.
Next, let’s look at Yasha:
Yasha Nydoorin was an entirely different case to the motherly Pike, while still retaining the sense of care that Ashley let’s permeate through all her characters.
Yasha had a dark past- having lost her wife and Ashley reflected that in Yasha. We saw a deep, inset hurt inside her. (Ashley probably used her own memory of grief to achieve this).
Even down to Yasha’s voice and facial movements. We can still tell it’s Ashley’s voice- but it’s lower, and almost accented in the way she says certain things- which tells us that Yasha is different without her telling us.
We also hear a sort of considered calmness about Yasha’s voice- which almost reminded me of my research into how the Celts would listen to relaxation music before war just so they wouldn’t fire at full cylinders right at the beginning.
But as we got to know her more, and she became comfy and eventually let that go- Ashley allowed the happiness to seep through.
But her face is such a massive point for me for Yasha. With Yasha- her face is always calm, eyebrows down if she’s worried, lips thinned if likewise. But when she’s happy- her face radiates it- as if she can’t control it- which is amazing.
But also- you can tell it’s Yasha from the way that Ashley keeps her jaw set as Yasha. It’s constantly one shape- her face seems almost shorter and more set than that of Pike, and it adds to her characterisation, as she stays within those boundaries of her face to play Yasha.
Which leads me onto Fearne. Had I not known Fearne was a Fawn- I would have guessed from the way that Ashley constructs her character’s faces.
Fearne Calloway is someone from the Feywild, and because of that, she is someone who almost seems like a fairytale creature (think of Mr Tumnus from Narnia.)
And Ashley reflects this. She’s calm in a way that Yasha and Pike were not. Pike had a motherly patience, and Yasha had a controlled calmness that you could feel about to bubble over at times.
But with Fearne- her calmness is almost scary. And it’s strange to see, as Ashley deliberately plays Fearne so that she appears disarming, until you anger her.
Ashley plays Fearne so that with her friends, she is gentle and sweet. And she enjoys being that. And you can see the gentle Fey/Fawn nature on Ashley’s face in this (as pictured in the gif above).
She has more of a narrowed jaw, and face shape, almost as if she’s trying to mimic a fawn-like facial shape. With this- as she takes a breathy laugh as pictured- her nose doesn’t move too much- almost like a fawn, and because of her constricted facial shape, her nose seems thinner and more dainty- like we would imagine a fawn/satyr’s delicate nose to be.
She also widens her eyes in the way that we would imagine a doe’s eyes to be- big and adorable, and she allows that to come through her eyes in moments, where Fearne is confused, or sad, or happy, which is fantastic to see from Ashley- taking that into consideration.
With her lips, also. She deliberately keeps her lips quite small, width wise, as if she hasn’t got a lot of face to work with, so she keeps it small. If you look at her smile or her confusion, you’ll notice the corners of her lips rarely go past being in line with the beginning of her irises, which, if you look at how Ashley normally smiles- is hugely different. It also allows her to use her lips to make her face seem longer and thinner too.
With the way she constructs her face shape for Fearne also, you almost imagine her fawnish ears at the side of her face, even when you know you won’t see them on Ashley as she’s playing.
All of this just to say- Ashley is not the type of actor who is just good with her voice, regardless of how many different sounds she can do. She is simply sublime with her facial acting in all she does.
And I will say again that I would give my right arm to see the way she changed her facial acting from Ellie as a 14 year old to Ellie as a 20 year old in the Last of Us franchise.
In short: Ashley-Fucking-Johnson
Reblogging again because I’ve watched all the mo-cap available of TLOU2- she deserves an award.
Floofy Shirt Sew-along - Step 0: Getting Started
I’m thinking we’ll start properly in August to give people the time to find fabric. For now we’ll do some measurements so we know how much fabric we need and get the preliminaries out of the way.
So I was watching clips of the Goes Wrong Show instead of doing my homework, as usual, and I realized something
When Bry as Vanessa is supposed to be speaking French, one of the lines she says is 'voulez-vous coucher avec moi.' For those who don't speak French, the English translation of that is: will you go to bed with me? And for all of those that saw Moulin Rouge, well, I'm imagining not many people think of that as like cuddly sleep time.
But I just want to point out Sandra's reaction.
her first reaction, horror that Vanessa just said something so rude in front of the audience. Expected. Why does she kind of look like she's dissociating in the void and attempting to land anywhere but on that set?
But the second reaction is where I think things start to get interesting.
Sandra turns back to Vanessa and pulls this face
And like, sure you can say she was trying to keep the scene going or slightly worried because she knew Vanessa was slowly losing her mind trying to improv some French phrases out of nowhere, but I have a whole different headcanon.
To me, this looks like Sandra accidentally had a moment of bisexual panic in front of the entire world and now isn't entirely sure how to proceed.
This is the FUNNIEST SHIT I HAVE EVER SEEN
