girlhood this girlhood that. woman you are 26

I got a message about how this is supposedly mean. I am holding your hand when I say that refusing womanhood and clinging onto girlhood will not save you from the realities of adulthood. I am not saying you are not young. 26 is incredibly young. you are free to love the concepts and media associated with girlhood but there is much to love about womanhood that you are not seeing. there is something to be said for being free of the shackles of girlhood and childhood. you are an autonomous being. you have power over your life and the paths you will take. it is easier to see the paths when you start taking yourself seriously instead of waiting for others to do so. no one is saying you have to be serious. womanhood is joy too. a different shade of yellow

Also, it really is satisfying to watch both films kind of back to back. I didn’t do the double feature, but I watched Wicked last night bc they aired it on nbc for the first time - then I watched part 2 tonight at an early screening & part 1 was still fresh in my mind so I caught more callbacks and ‘Easter eggs’ 🙂‍↕️😌

I’m gonna still hold off on posting all my thoughts for a few more days bc I don’t wanna be yelled at for spoilers 😞 but I am patiently waiting for this soundtrack to drop on streaming services !! I can’t wait to find out what spoken parts / interlude / little sequence bits got added into the actual soundtrack & I can’t wait for them to release the SCORE. The (new & extended) orchestrations during & outside of the songs, just really took it up a notch omg.

Well. I had the privilege to see Wicked: For Good today, 4 days early. And the only thing I’ll share is that the audience cheered and ERUPTED in clapping after Cynthia’s no good deed & then clapped again at the end of for good. 🥹🫶🏽

I love that I HAD TO come out of tumblr retirement for this because I so desperately needed to share this lol but I will say that I went to a second early screening tonight & once again our audience couldn’t help but to applaud after NGD!!!

I don't think I'm ever going to understand people treating Tumblr post comment sections as a confession booth seeking validation from OP. It comes up again and again when discussing boycotts, political action, or god forbid listening to a rap song

You can just not tell people on the Internet when you do something that's being mildly criticized and no one will know.

"I don't listen to rap because they talk too fast for my audio processing disorder." Ok. And there's no need for you to tell a stranger that

"I can't participate in BDS because McDonald's is my safe food." Ok. So don't post about it and no one will judge you.

"I have to buy a piece of Harry Potter branded merch at least once a week or I'll fall into a depression." You can just not tell people this and they won't know.

Things you can do instead of commenting on posts about how you're a special exception that deserves a pass for doing something being criticized:

Ignore the post and scroll past

Block OP and save both of yourselves the trouble

Take the opportunity to reflect on the practice and think about why you're being defensive about it, maybe consider there is a way you can challenge yourself a little and give it a try

Stop assuming every Tumblr post is made for and targeted towards you and requires you respond to it

Have the defensive thought and then keep it in your head where no one else can know or judge you for it

Log off and go do something else

Any of these things will work out better for you than going into a comment section and explaining to strangers why you can't/will continue to do something currently under scrutiny. They don't care, they probably don't know who you are, and no one has to know this about you.

Stop seeking validation in the Tumblr dot com comment section you're only hurting yourself and pissing off the op

I’m gonna complain about it so I can move on bc I’ve been stacking up 4 months of ‘evidence’ lol but it’s genuinely so annoying that SNL has uploaded like 2-4 “cut for time” sketches for each episode this 50th season EXCEPT for Ariana Grande’s episode….. where there were legitimate tech issues that delayed Stevie Nicks’ second performance & undoubtedly led to at least one sketch being cut from the end of the episode. Literally every episode AFTER hers has had their cut sketches uploaded to YouTube but not Ari’s 😭😭

Charli XCX’s episode had 3-4 additional uploads & they just uploaded one a day ago from John Mulaney’s episode that was weeks ago - just give us Ari’s from October NOW omg

MIND YOU. I can confirm through posts from Ari, her team & one of the SNL costume designers from just YESTERDAY that there were fully fleshed out costumes + sketches that will just never see the light of day for whatever reason 😒

Was anyone at the rehearsal show & want to come forward about what was cut lol I’m grateful w the episode we got but it’s clear that there’s more content that SNL is gatekeeping for whatever reason & it’s been months of mystery PLEASE 😭😭

NEW “ARIANA GRANDE ON SNL” 2024 LORE JUST DROPPED FOR ANYONE WHO CARES (it’s me….. I’m the singular person who still cares 😭)

The LA Times interviewed SNL’s head costume designer Tom Broecker to talk about the weekly process of costume making — and Ariana pictures were featured 😁😁 I’m linking the full article below. Some highlights are an initial drawing idea of Ariana’s costume from the ‘castrati’ sketch + it was officially revealed that a Judy Garland sketch and a 1910s sketch were cut from the episode. Also Tom has connections to Paul Tazewell who was the costume designer for the Wicked movie 🥹

Tom Broecker has played an integral part in the visual language of 'SNL,' leading the costume design team that has helped shape some of the
