I was once in this old English play called Emma in high school. There is this one scene where two characters are on a carriage with one guy pulling them around. Well someone in the crew didn’t move one of the chairs from the previous scene. So the guy pulling the carriage is trying to make his way around the stage while trying the avoid the chair left in the middle of the stage. It became known as the phantom chair.
In the same play on our last show everyone decided that we had nothing left to lose and improvised everything to hell and back. I was playing a larger than life character called Mrs Elton. In one scene I take the beloved chair of the main character’s father. The thing is the guy who plays the father is one of the funniest theatre people I know. So when I took his seat he proceeded to try and fight me. My best friend playing a different character is holding this man back. So the audience is seeing an old man kicking and punching air being held by another dude while the woman who took his seat is completely unaware. The audience was losing it with laughter, and it was taking all my self control to not look behind me or laugh.
But I think the funniest interaction I ever had for this show was offstage. The guy who played my husband was this extremely bulky and muscular football player. While backstage he told me “I’m warning you now that most girls tend to fall in love with me.” My response? “You don’t have to worry about that I’m a lesbian.” His face immediately lit up and he said “Oh! Okay!” I think that actually helped us act like a husband and wife because he didn’t need to worry about me reading into him being very extravagant while being my “husband.”
Apparently my director went to see a production of West Side Story a few years ago, and the guy playing Chino forgot his gun before coming out for his final scene. Once it got to the big scene where he is supposed to shoot Tony, he screeched “Poison Boots” and kicked the actor playing Tony until he went down. The girl playing Maria then had to jerk the shoe off of Chino’s foot, and had to do the gunshot scene asking “How many kicks Chino? How many kicks, and one kick left for me”.

As someone who writes and creates most of her own character designs, I’m reblogging this because I always struggle when creating the outfits.

Pyrrha lives and Jaune dies AU is heartbreaking on one side because imagining Pyrrha's struggles after the Fall of Beacon and how even worse she'd feel than Jaune did is hard. Also imagining her using Jaune's shield to reforce her own shield and armor and going around wearing Jaune's emblem somewhere hurts.
On the other side I'm trying to imagine Pyrrha getting the banana haircut in V7 and that makes me laugh a little at least.
I did theatre in high school and it was tradition to go the AppleBees after opening night. Most of the time people didn’t want to bother taking off their makeup and go straight there because we were hungry and tired. Well one year we did Suessical, which is basically Horton Hears a Who with a bunch of other Dr Suess characters/stories added in. Most of the main cast and ensemble were jungle animals. So it’s about 11:30 pm and the employees are taking orders from 20-30 kids with colorful animal face paint. There were purple kangaroos, hot pink rabbits, yellow bears, etc. It was truly a magical experience
My friends and I used to do this thing where we'd dress up on a theme and go do something totally normal.
We dressed up as pirates and went bowling.
We dressed as vikings and went to the grocery store. The security guard told us we had to move our longship because it was illegally parked.
We dressed as Romans and went to Blockbuster. The staff chanted, "toga! Toga! Toga!" at us.
We dressed up all steampunk and went to the museum. Tourists kept taking our picture.
I love drawing cute scenes.
Apparently I’m in the mood to post about how awesome my mom is because I’m doing it again!
One of the ways we bond is by watching tv shows together. She makes a huge effort to try and be inventive with my interests. As a result she and I watch a lot of anime and cartoons. Remember my mom is in her 50s and she had never even watched anime until she had me. She actually gets very interested and ends up enjoying a lot of the shows we watch together. She has watched anime like Digimon, Fruits Basket, Horimya, half of Bleach, Spy x Family, Hunter x Hunter, and SAO. My mom has also watched cartoons such as Avatar the Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra, the Dragon Prince, and Vox Machina.
As you can see that is a lot. She always ends up shocking people with her knowledge.
For example one of my friends was once fan-girling over RWBY. They were so shocked when my mom was able to completely understand what they were talking about and include her opinions about the show.
She is just so open-minded and I know it’s rare, at least in my area, for parents to get so engaged with this kind of stuff. I love her.
Did I daydream this, or was there a website for writers with like. A ridiculous quantity of descriptive aid. Like I remember clicking on " inside a cinema " or something like that. Then, BAM. Here's a list of smell and sounds. I can't remember it for the life of me, but if someone else can, help a bitch out <3
