A faerie introduces himself. Then, holding out a hand, asks, “And your name, please?”

And, like a fool, you give it to him.

[monstersdownthepath]

I got asked for clarification on this (but can’t reblog that particular post cuz on mobile), which I’m more than happy to provide.

In this post, a faerie is asking for ‘your’ name. The way he is wording it, however, and the accompanying beckoning motion, makes it seem as though he is asking for you to physically hand your name over. Which, because of how some faeries operate, he is.

In this instance, saying your name aloud to the fae would be literally giving your name over to him, the exact consequences of which are left up to the imagination–usually, a fae even knowing your name gives it some measure of power over you, but giving something your name would likely let it completely take over your life.

In this instance, the wording you want to use is something like “I will not give you my name, but I will tell you that it’s [name].” Alternately, you can just lie to him.

[ayellowbirds]

Might i suggest the less direct yet still name-preserving “you may call me…”? It dodges the request while still giving an answer of a name, which does not even have to be yours, but any name you feel like telling the fae they can use to refer to you. I would recommend “Ainsel”.

[linkedsoul]

The first time he asks for your name is the first time you meet him. He appears as you walk by the færie ring, that you have not entered because your grandmother has repeated so many times not to do so, and, curious of your presence, watches as you jump when you notice him.

You recognize him instantly. It is the Fæ whose influence your village is under, the one the elders have told you and your friends to be wary about, for the people who have been seen walking away with him have never come back.

You don’t know what he does to them. The villagers have never dared to confront him about it, never dare to address to him at all. He is not evil: he sometimes speaks blessings upon the cattle, talks the horses to calm after a storm, ensures a good harvest for the farmers, makes the flower bloom in spring even when the weather is still too cold. He is, simply, a Fæ, whose ways humans cannot understand.

Did you know that modern C sections were invented by African women— centuries before they were standard elsewhere?

Midwives and surgeons living around Lake Tanganyika and Lake Victoria perfected the procedure hundreds of years ago. When a baby couldn’t be delivered vaginally, these healers sedated the laboring mother using large amounts of banana wine. They tied the mother to the bed for safety, sterilized a knife using heat, and made the incision, acting quickly as a team to prevent excessive blood loss or the accidental cutting of other organs. The combination of sterile, sharp equipment and sedation made the procedure surprisingly calm and comfortable for the mother.

After the baby was delivered, antiseptic tinctures and salves were used to clean the area and stitches were applied. Women rarely developed infections, shock, or excessive blood loss after a cesarean section and the most common problem reported was that it took longer for the mother’s milk to come in (an issue that was solved with friends and relatives who would nurse the baby instead).

In Uganda, C sections were normally performed by a team of male healers, but in Tanzania and DRC, they were typically done by female midwives.

The majority of women and babies survived this, and when questioned about it by European colonists in the mid-1800s, many people in Uganda and Tanzania indicated that the procedure had been performed routinely since time immemorial.

This was at a time when Europeans had only barely started to figure out that they should wash their hands before performing surgery, when nearly half of European and US women died in childbirth, and when nearly 100% of European women died if a C section was performed.

Detailed explanations of Ugandan C-sections were published globally in scholarly journals by the 1880s and helped the rest of the world learn how to save mothers and babies with minimal complications.

So if you’re one of the people who wouldn’t be alive today without a C-section, you have Ugandan surgeons and Tanzanian and Congolese midwives to thank for their contributions to medical science.

in order to revive the faltering genre of choral music, we need to take all those beautiful, soaring pieces that are kind of awkwardly about Christianity and rewrite the lyrics to be about the grandeur of outer space instead. The light of stars of aeons past, the incomprehensibly infinite size of the universe, the mystery of dark matter and the promise of answers just beyond the edge of your telescope… give me 100 voices in a stained glass-lit cathedral singing about that.

Edit: Backed up, and I cannot emphasize this enough, by huge pipe organs.

the fact that hamilton, which is arguably one of the biggest pieces of media in the past decade, is getting a professional release is a big deal. this is a huge step for making theatre more accessible for everyone.

like, for $10 (the average price of a movie ticket) you could watch the proshot of hamilton, with the original broadway cast. you could see the original broadway cast of hamilton for $10 dollars. you’re literally paying a hamilton to see hamilton. and you don’t need to worry about sitting in a rear mezzanine seat or having an obstructed view, since it’s a proshot.

and, since disney is producing it, they’ll most likely release it on DVD or on disney+ in the future. this is a huge step forward in making accessible theatre. you could watch hamilton multiple times a week (or multiple times a day!) for a low price.

[prismatic-bell]

It’s unfortunate that this is a Disney release, but I need to ask a favor of every person who wants to watch it:

DON’T PIRATE. PAY THE TEN BUCKS.

Musical theatre aficionados have been fighting for YEARS for this to be a regular thing. As far as I know, it’s only been done a handful of times: the final performance of RENT, the 10th and 25th anniversaries of Les Mis, the 25th anniversary of Phantom of the Opera, and there are a few “on a stage but reblocked and edited for video” shows like Cats, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar 2000, and Into The Woods. We have been FIGHTING for general releases of shows. This is an actual theatre industry thing.

You may notice something about the shows I listed above: only three of them aren’t Andrew Lloyd Webber shows. Love him or hate him, he’s a huge advocate for the idea that theatre should be accessible and preserved for the historic record; he actually arranged for a proshot of Love Never Dies on the basis that he was pretty sure it WASN’T going to be playing for very long, and future theatre fans who wanted to see it for any reason should have access to it. Webber has been in this industry since 1969. When a man with that kind of resume says “yes, this needs to be a thing,” it’s a fair bet he knows a thing or two of what he’s talking about. It’s one reason I love Webber: yeah, some of his shows are kind of questionable quality, but he’s on the fans’ side here.

(Also, I feel the need to defend him against the new CATS. He arranged the 1998 stage-but-edited version that was pretty good. He was PISSED about the 2019 version long before it was released.)

So basically: if you’re not a Webber fan, you’re screwed. If you ARE a Webber fan but you also want to see cool stuff like the bilingual version of West Side Story or the production of Fiddler on the Roof that was partly in Yiddish, you’re screwed. If you want to see cult classics that weren’t around long, like Spring Awakening or Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark (or, for the REALLY obscure: Chess or Bat Boy), you’re screwed. If you want to see shows that were reasonably successful but require a huge budget and so don’t get put on often, like Aida and Little Shop of Horrors, you’re screwed. If you want to see shows that require a budget SO huge that no community theatre no matter how well-endowed will ever be able to afford them, like Wicked? YOU’RE SCREWED.

I am begging you. BUY HAMILTON. DON’T PIRATE. This is a fight 30+ years old and buying it will help demonstrate that YES, there is an entire audience outside New York ready and willing to buy in; YES, it’s worth the outlay of cash to do these recordings and mix and edit them; and, and understand I am saying this as a Webber and Les Mis fan, RECORDINGS THAT ARE NOT LES MIS OR ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER ARE WORTH RELEASING.

Help us fight the good fight and make professional theatre available to everyone. BUY HAMILTON. DO NOT PIRATE. YES, EVEN THOUGH IT’S A DISNEY RELEASE. YES, EVEN THOUGH NON-PROFESSIONAL RECORDINGS EXIST.

This is important. As a theatre advocate I cannot stress HOW important. If you follow me, you know I’m all in favor of things like streaming services and breaking up the Disney monopoly. But in this, my loyalty has to lie with a fight I joined in 2005 that was going on when I was still smelling markers in kindergarten.

If you have any interest in seeing Hamilton, no matter how casual, buy it. Please.

(And while you’re at it: support your local community theatre. Most community theatres put on great shows on a very tiny budget and could, I say this totally unironically, use your $5-10 donation. It adds up and it helps keep the lights on.)

They’re also shooting for 100% renewable plastic sources by 2030! All of the soft plant/leaf elements in sets right now and going forward are made out of bioplastic made from sugarcane, and they’re working on getting the regular hard plastic bricks out of that, too.

[lynnafred]

They’ve done it, actually! The full bricks are in the prototype stage now, and are expected to be 100% biodegradable without the need for a commercial compost facility. It’s very cool. Right now they’re testing the durability and playability of the bricks and seeing what needs to be revised/reworked on their final model.
