Theatre tips!!

Just some helpful theatre tips from one theatre person to another to help you along your theatre journey :D

Line set, stage, and large props with glow tape! This is very important to keep your cast and crew safe during blackout. The best way to charge them is to move a flashlight back and forth on the tape, it only takes a few seconds.

If you're working backstage, make a list of scenes in order, what props/set pieces are involved, and who's moving them - this helps SO MUCH during dress rehearsals.

Have a crew meeting every rehearsal if possible to help keep communication up. This includes EVERYONE in crew (props, lights, sound, set, costumes, etc.)

Don't give up if you don't get a part you auditioned for! There are still so many ways to be involved and just because you did not get a role does not mean you can't act. Keep going.

You don't have to have any experience in technical theatre to join stage crew! You will learn very quickly and your directors will help you with anything.

Don't be afraid to be bossy, especially if you're in a leading position! You can have fun but you also need to keep things in line.

It is ok to be yourself. Don't let others define you.

Although you don't have to, try your best to learn as many names as you can. Even if that means referring to them as their role name. They will respond to it, lol. (I have started responding to "costumes")

IT IS OK TO CRY. Theatre means struggle. It means emotions and goodbyes. But it also means fulfillment and finding your people. It is ok to cry. <3

The sound goblins must have batteries for the microphones. Or else the sound goblins cannot do sound goblin things and people will be sad but they will be sad quietly. We want them to be sad loudly.

Feel free to add any more!

These are some drawings I’ve made over the past few months of songs as dragons! Most of their colors are based off their album covers, but if not, then they’re based off of the color/vibe they give. Originally I was going to post these one per day but I don’t have the patience for that so…here you go

Not really an ask, but it's nice to see someone actually appreciating The Acolyte. It doesn't deserve all the hate it gets and, in my opinion, is an amazing show. So sad it got cancelled but at least we have some of it to cherish. Thank you for spreading the thankfulness for this amazing show!

Thank you so much for your comment! We're so happy to see that you love The Acolyte too. It really didn’t deserve all the hate it got! And yes, even though it was cancelled, we’re not giving up! We’re fighting for a season 2 💪✨ We have a website with different ways to help support the renewal savetheacolyte.com Honestly, The Acolyte fandom is just the sweetest 💫 Thank you so much for the support!! 💕

I have an idea.

It’s an Empires AU based on the version of the song The Dark-Eyed Sailor from The Dragon Prince by Atillion (link and lyrics below cut).

After the fall of Empires, the ocean’s collapse is slowly causing Jimmy and Lizzie to lose their souls, since they’re so attached to the water. They lose all memory of being Seablings and now all they want is power and control over what’s left of the ocean. Its fall has also torn them of almost all their powers, meaning that neither of them can breathe underwater anymore.

So they fight.

Even from the start, the battle is hopeless. Lizzie is infinitely more powerful than Jimmy and they both know that she will win.

Yet Jimmy still fights.

Lizzie ruthlessly attacks him, weakening him to the point where he can barely swim, yet he still fights, because only he should rule the ocean.

There are several points at which Jimmy almost drowns, but his need for power pushes him forward. He’s able to do a fair amount of damage to Lizzie, but it was never enough.

After hours of draws, Lizzie is able to hold him under the water with her trident. His last words when he is still above the surface are, “The sea shall bow to me!”

Jimmy, the codfather, brother of the ocean queen, has drowned.

Lizzie wins, as they both knew she always would.

But there is nothing more to rule, for her empire has fallen.

Woe to the man, the dark-eyed sailor

Ship's adrift and the sea's his jailor

Drag him down,

Down, down, down

Down in the wicked depths below

Lost at sea, the sailor cried

I will not drown, and I will not die

The ocean's rule I dare defy

The sea shall bow to me!

Woe to the man, the dark-eyed sailor

Ship's adrift and the sea's his jailor

Drag him down,

Down, down, down

Down in the wicked depths below

The fog pressed in, the ice did freeze

The sails caught nary a whisper'd breeze

But to his pride the sailor seized

The sea shall bow to me!

Woe to the man, the dark-eyed sailor

Ship's adrift and the sea's his jailor

Drag him down,

Down, down, down

Down in the wicked depths below

The ship it sank, its hull full tore

The sailor he could swim no more

But even as he drowned, he swore

The sea shall bow to me!

Woe to the man, the dark-eyed sailor

Ship's adrift and the sea's his jailor

Drag him down,

Down, down, down

Down to the depths

Drown in the depths

Drown in the wicked depths below

Is it just me or does Ren's area in exile look like an aged, rotted version of Dogwarts...?

Can we talk about how well most Crane Wives songs fit the Life series???

For example, Shallow River for DL!Pearl:

"May the whole sky fall/May it all come down/Wasted all for the title/Wasted all for the crown"

Little Soldiers for Dogwarts:

"I fought with tooth and nail before the flag had flown, but you were already gone"

Canary in a Coal Mine:

Do I even have to explain?

October for Scott and Jimmy:

"Come my dear and be a part of my home/Missing stitch and flowers on a headstone"

The Well for the Ranchers:

"That old house, those rotting memories, burned easier than I'd have thought"

Allies or Enemies for Desert Duo:

"Are we allies or enemies?/This will be the death of me, this will be the death of me/All is fair in love and war, but I can't fight with you anymore/This will be the death of me"

The Hand That Feeds for TL!Martyn:

Pretty self-explanatory

Once & for All for the Red King:

"Dodge bullets and fire spray, my blood's forever on your hands/When my ghost sings my battle cry, you'll be too sorry to dance"

And that's only a handful. It's terrifying how many more there are.

You should go check them out if you haven't already. I will drag you into this Crane Wives obsession with me and you will never escape. *cackles in nerd*

THE RED WINTER IS COMING

why so :(

I recently finished watching Jimmy’s Third Life so naturally I had to make fanart

I love how Jimmy accidentally proposes to Scott and is like “I meant love for the flowers” and Scott was just like “no”

I was trying out a new style and I actually think it didn’t turn out too bad!

(Tumblr how dare you ruin the image quality 😭 click for (hopefully) better quality)
