WOW The Takes I’ve Seen Today… Y’all REALLY Don’t Know How Performing Careers Work Do You? I’m

WOW the takes I’ve seen today… y’all REALLY don’t know how performing careers work do you? I’m honestly almost offended. Where are the epitaphs for the Broadway singers who have to perform SIX nights a week for months? For the musicians in my circle who play in the pit, SIX SHOWS A WEEK, for YEARS. Sometimes decades. For the opera singers who learn FIVE HOURS of lieder at a time, for the musicians who perform sometimes two different operas every week, for me and my friends who rehearse four plus hours a day, then on concert days two hours plus a two hour concert (THESE ARE UNION APPROVED TIMES) not to fucking mention the HOURS upon HOURS we spend practicing our instrument on top of that, EVERY DAY. But oh because so and so releases an album every four years, because what’s-their-name hasn’t toured in years, yeah that’s the NORM, because that’s how the public thinks of celebrity performing artists, rich elitist sit-abouts who have no connection to the working class or the normal world, and yet you complain because Harry is ACTUALLY living the life of a performing artist instead of behaving like royalty and subsisting off his massive wealth? He’s not breaking a sweat in potato fields he’s putting on a SHOW. We do it all the time it’s a JOB you get USED to it, it’s not some superhuman feat that drains your soul like kryptonite, this is a grown ass human PERFORMING THE SAME SHOW MULTIPLE TIMES oh my god please never look an actual performing artist in the eye if you have any shreds of dignity left I’m—

actual facts about Vergil, according to Suetonius:

he was dark skinned (”aquilo colore”; of dark color)

he was very tall and had a “rustic face” (whatever that means)

my poor boy had a terrible health and he suffered from headaches and stomach problems

he really, really liked boys (”libidinis in pueros pronioris”, “he was given to passions for boys” like me too son) and his faves were Cebes and Alexander, whom he calls Alexis in his second Bucolic

he was very socially awkward. once he became famous for his Bucolics, he hated going to Rome and if he absolutely had to, he “would take refuge in the nearest house, to avoid those who followed and pointed him out”

he worked as a lawyer only once and apparently he was terrible giving speeches, bless him

he had a very soft and beautiful voice, and he would get really excited while reading his poems. according to Suetonius, he was once reading the Aeneid (not yet finished) to Augustus and Octavia, and she was so affected by it that she fainted
