My Favourite Things

Steph 🇦🇺20s| Fandoms and theatre are my life. I have a BA and my fandoms keep me both sane and insane at once. Trying to make it as an actor. https://archiveofourown.org/users/TheatreSteph

roald dahl was antisemitic and misogynistic. george orwell was openly homophobic. edgar allan poe married his 13 year old cousin. dr seuss cheated on his wife (and was racist as well as antisemitic!). hp lovecraft was racist as fuck. anyways they’re fucking dead it’s not like you’re enabling their behaviors in the afterlife or something. then again I think they bleed into the books so uh keep an eye out for that

the difference between these old white guys and jk rowling is that the former group is all dead. jk rowling is alive and using your money to oppress trans people

the tempest but Miranda has a fixation on boats

In her room, three tiny paintings depicting mighty ships hang on the wall (originally parts belonging to the background of one single big painting, collected from the pile of miscellaneous furniture Gonzalo had provided her father with twelve years ago before they left Milan. She cut off the bits that interested her most and just reframed them) along with some drawings and attempted diagrams on theme.

Her dad sends Ariel to destroy the fleet approaching the island and she gets so very mad at him. She uses sympathy to justify her anger, which sure, she did feel for the sailors on board and could only imagine how terrifying it must've been for them to be met with such fate. But deep down, she's also pissed because Prospero knows about this fascination of hers. She's mentioned it several times, some days it's all she thinks about, and apparently it didn't even cross his mind that it'd have made her entire year if only she had been allowed to see them from up close, whole, sturdy, the pinnacle of human engineering, defying all natural barriers to reach new horizons- now sinking like pebbles thrown into a lake. Not fair!

Miranda at the very end of the play, surrounded with new people, mayhaps future friends, people who aren't just the two men she's known and lived with her whole life. All of them coming from a world she never had the chance to really get to know, a brave new world (for her)- and then she learns that, thanks to Ariel's magic, the same one that had shattered her dreams to fulfill those wishes just a few hours ago, hope was brought back along with the now ready-to-sail vessels. Once buried beneath the waters, but dug out and fully fixed, like new!

Miranda setting off for the shore, sock-footed running on the muddy sand like her life depends on it (leaving everyone else behind and very confused). There they were, swaying gently with the waves but otherwise unmoving, as if waiting for her. Insides bustling with people, more people just like herself, working together to breathe the life back into their watercrafts. Her ticket to freedom, the chance to hop in the ride that'll release her from that prison for good, a boat brought her to this place, only a boat can get her out. To somewhere new, where a curious and lively girl like her will go on countless adventures to discover the world by herself, for herself.

can i ask why there is such a theatre bootleg hierarchy these days like why must i pay $10-$15 sometimes more to watch a production that looks like it was filmed in 2010 on an ipod. i understand if your the person who filmed it and especially if its a broadway production cause i know those are expensive. but if you just found it or someone else gave it to you why like actually why would you make it so much harder for people to enjoy theatre. and thing in i live in Australia so i don't have the privilege of seeing a lot of shows and i also live in a small town so even if i did have the time a money to see a show id also have to either drive for 2-3 days or by a plane ticket. and also because i live in Australia it means if and when i do came in a buy a bootleg the price usually 40% more from whatever price they've set because of the exchange rate.

anyway thats my rant

[dramatic-dolphin]

an absolute fuckton of people at pride rn

[dramatic-dolphin]

record turnout for sure. here's some pics i stole from facebook:

the tail end of the crowd only started marching around the time the first part got to the end goal. i can't stress how fucking massive the crowd was. the perfect example of "they can't arrest all of us"; the police didn't even try. no incidents, but we all had an awesome day. 🥰🥰🥰

when you show up to the met gala you should immediately be faced with a panel of fashion experts and art historians before you even get to the red carpet and you have to explain your outfit choice and why it is on theme for that year’s event like you are defending a phd and if you can’t produce a coherent defence they turn you away at the door and the people of manhattan are allowed and encouraged to throw rotten produce at you as you get back into your car in shame

being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.

Or how to say that you have no imagination in a falsely intellectual way.

[kizo2703]

Definitely no imagination. And, let's not mention when the showrunner deliberately destroys the relationship of the main characters, even though it is romantic in the books (and most of the show!!) the show is based on. And, as the biggest perversion, instead of getting married like in the books, in the end one kills the other for no logical reason.

I miss the stage sooo bad it’s crazy….been off for almost a year and life is NOT the same 🥹🥹

[baraphalloplastyclinic]

I actually do think we should discourage women from becoming housewives. Do not become financially dependent on a man. That's how a lot of women ended up dead over the years. A man gets violent suddenly and you have to choose between homelessness or potentially dying at his hand because you have an enormous gap in your resume and no degrees or certifications or anything that will help you pursue a career that will allow you to be financially independent. He owns your bank account. His name is probably the one on the car. Try and leave and he can report it stolen. Where will you go then?

Don't become a housewife.

[ladyfoxfire]

And if you do become a housewife, take steps to protect yourself. Make sure you’re legally married, for starters; stay-at-home girlfriends have very little legal recourse to claim their partner’s assets in a breakup. Make sure your name is on the house deed/rental agreement, and have your car in your name, even if your spouse is paying for it. Have your spouse transfer money every month into an account solely in your name, so you can buy yourself things without needing permission, but also so you can save up to leave if needed.

If your spouse fights you on any of this, then don’t quit your job. The tradwife to poverty pipeline is real, and so is financial abuse.

[dressedupliketheking]

also, many women/people experience controlling behaviour and domestic violence from their partner for the first time during pregnancy. don’t risk thinking “he’s just stressed, it’ll get better when the baby comes” because it won’t. neither you and your child will ever be safe with that man. get out as early and safely as you can
