hello darling it's relatively early for me to be popping in but I'm !!!!! cus i saw the anon ask and you giving Wille Art History as potential major and just. idk why i think that fits him so well, but in one of my wips I have him being an art nerd cus I just think he'd be so interested in the art that surrounds him, and enjoy learning how exactly it ended up where it did!! cus Drottingholm Palace is FULL of art and I just think he'd maybe start out of sheer boredom but eventually grow to loving learning the past of the art

I'm thinking about a specific statue but I CANNOT remember the name and my notes are at my apartment hghhh but there's a statue that Sweden got from Denmark as war reparations, the palace in Denmark has a replica while Sweden has the real one. and also there's a museum for a specific artist on the palace grounds, and half the art was taken from Austria(I think) during a battle.

anyway yeah the art at Drottingholm has an interesting history so I can DEFINTELY see Wille being into art history and that's what I came to say fjsjfjjd

Hello my dearest!

Wille and art make sense in my head and I don't know why. Canonically there's no evidence for him to be art involved, but it just works in my head. And yeah, Drottningholm is full of art, so he definitely grew up around it. I think it fits him well.

I tried to look up that statue lol, but when you try to find it, you also find out that there are dozens of statues that have been passed between Sweden and Denmark. It's like ridiculous how many statues they've given each other.

“Deportees Can’t Answer Shouts of Compatriots,” Toronto Star. May 12, 1932 Page 1. ---- From Detention Cells at Halifax, See Hundreds Aboard Liners ---- APPEALS ARE FILED ---- Accused Men Likely To Be Held Some Time, Before Expulsion --- Halifax, May 11. - A telegram authorizing Lionel Ryan, Halifax barrister, to act for other members of the group of alleged Communists held here for deportation was received by him yesterday from E. Greenburg, a Winnipeg lawyer, it was learned to-day.

The Swedish American liner Drottningholm has come and gone, bound for Gotenberg, Sweden, and the nine alleged Communists are still here. Officials refused to say whether any of the men had been placed aboard the liner, but a careful survey of the outgoing passengers revealed that only two deportees were being returned to England as public charges.

Imprisoned in the immigration shed, nine alleged alien Communists saw hundreds of their countrymen today, but they were not permitted to exchange greetings.

They are quartered about the centre of the pier, at which two great liners, the Kungsholm and Drottingholm, lay, and the passengers, out to enjoy the warmth of a brilliant spring day, lined the decks. Greetings, expressed in the Scandinavian languages and mixed tongues, were shouted toward the grated cells, but there was no response because the shouts did not reach the prisoners. Their windows had been closed, and some of the men had been removed to other cells not so near the ships.

As the Kungsholm slipped away from the pier and pointed out to sea one of the prisoners waved a frantic farewell and hundreds of shouts answered from the liner’s deck. Probably that ship was to have carried him back to his native land, a deportee from Canada. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who guarded the cells night and day, refused to comment on the suggestion.

The appointment of Ryan, who is already acting for Steve Worebek, of Montreal, followed the revelation that possibly the majority of the nine men locked in the immigration sheds had not had the advantage of legal counsel at the hearing conducted by a board of inquiry here last week. Authorities refused to say whether the men had had an opportunity to retain counsel.

While Mr. Ryan would only admit that he had been retained to act for Dan Holmes of Winnipeg, he stated his instruction ‘might also include others of the group.’

In the meantime, both police officials and Communists’ sympathizers waited tensely for the decision of Hon. W. A. Gordon, minister of immigration.

The presence in the immigration buildings of a uniformed nurse today gave rise to the report that some of the men being held were sick. H. M. Grant, chief immigration inspector, who is responsible for the welfare of the prisoners, replied: ‘As far as I know, none of the men is sick.’

When a large number of persons are held, it is customary to retain such a nurse, it is understood.

As yet no writ of habeas corpus, the last resort of the incarcerated nine, has been filed, The Star ascertained. Mr. Ryan admitted he was considering taking such a course in the case of his new client.

Some incredibly ornate somethingorother in an oriental style (I suspect what the Europeans though oriental should look like rather than authentically oriental) in the Drottningsholm Slott (Queen’s palace) outside Stockholm. Not sure what its purpose was, apart from “being”.

what was your theater experience growing up like? I know you have mentioned it before, but I’d love to hear more!

answering this depends on if you want the long version or the short version. But because I feel like telling it, we're gonna go with the long version.

(also I should preface this by saying I was home schooled and so I did not have any access to theatrical things through school.)

It starts on what seems like an unrelated note.

When I was a little kid (like really little, like 5 or so) my parents would always play lullaby CDs for us (my three brothers and I) when we went to bed. I've had issues with sleep for as long as I can remember, so I continued to listen to music every night until I was maybe 12 or 13 to try and get to sleep.

When I was around 10 I think, my mom's parents sent us a CD for Christmas or someone's birthday that was a lullaby CD, but it was all classical music. I loved it so it became my every night CD. The problem was, I got so into the music, it wouldn't actually put me to sleep. I wanted to stay up and listen to the music and read the sleeve of the CD case to see what all the songs were and who wrote them, and to feel the stories that the music was telling me. It was more than just a series of moms singing essentially “go to sleep” over and over. The music in this CD was interspersed with bits of dialogue that went along with the feeling of the music, and that just fascinated me; how someone could be telling a story with music that didn’t have any words.

So I started getting classical music CDs from the library to listen to during the day, so I could get into it when I wasn’t trying to fall asleep. I was primarily obsessed with Mozart, Vivaldi, and Handel, though I had a lot of other favorites too. There was also this really cool series of CDs that took the music of various composers and used them as a soundtrack for stories about the actual composers (the Classical Kids series) and I just ate them all up. I couldn't get enough.

People started to figure out classical music was just becoming My Thing, so I got a bunch of CDs for my various birthdays/Christmas and from the library. And one day my mom grabbed a CD of Die Zauberflote.

I got obsessed with it and once finished it, I kept listening to it over and over again. Then I wanted to see if there was a video recording of a performance that we could watch, because I loved the story and wanted to see how it would be acted out. The one copy our entire library system had was the Drottingholm Court Theater (1989) one, which to this day remains my favorite.

So now I was on the opera train, and I wanted to hear more. We listened to Nozze (though our mom wouldn't let us watch a video of this one; she said it was inappropriate. Also she hated the idea of a woman dressing up as a boy, so anything Cherubino-related was out); we listened to Barbiere, Carmen, and La boheme (these three we were allowed to watch videos of). After that my brothers got bored, but I didn't. I'd found my new obsession.

I continued to listen to operas on my own (and did occasionally manage to get a video or two in the house to watch). Then, because I am A Nerd, I started reading about them--summaries of ones I couldn't find; researching source material; reading about various performers and opera houses...pretty much anything I could get my hands on. All of this continued up until I went to college, which then took up the majority of my life (although I was able to take advantage of the university’s extensive library which had, among other things, DVDs of the ROH Zauberflote with Diana Damrau and Simon Keenlyside and the Met Hansel and Gretel with Frederica von Stade).

Now there's another aspect of this that contributes. I wrote a lot when I was a kid. Like a LOT. If I wasn't doing school or playing outside or listening to music, I was writing stories. Pretty much all of my old stories are dead now for reasons I won't get into. But one thing that stuck around was the desire to write plays. First I wanted to write an opera; the past few years obsessing over them made me want to write my own. But I couldn’t (and still can’t) read music, or write music, or even play an instrument. In my research, though, I'd found a lot of operas were based on plays, so I figured I could write one, and maybe later on down the line I’d find someone who could put it to music.

The only problem was I'd never seen a play. Not even a recording of one. it’s hard to write a play if you’ve never seen one and don’t understand how theater works.

I tried to remedy this by just reading a lot of plays. Our library had an entire section dedicated to drama, about three shelves big. I spent a lot of time there. I tried to figure out what made a good play, but you know, you just can't get the same experience without seeing one.

Then, when I was around 15 I think, I got my first "babysitting" gig, which was just me watching my little brother play video games with a kid a little younger than him. While I watched them play, I talked to the kid's mom (who was there so it really wasn't a gig), and I found out she was an actress that worked and volunteered at some local theaters.

I'd found my way in.

When I encountered her again, I asked if she knew of any ways I could get involved in the theater scene in town (there were a surprising amount of theaters nearby). There were two in particular that needed volunteers, so she connected me to some people. I got to know the staff at the theaters, help out in the box office, do some backstage stuff, usher, and occasionally help the actors with their lines and blocking. But the best part was I got to see a ton of shows for free by virtue of being a volunteer. During the next two summers, I was seeing a show almost every week, sometimes multiple times a week. It was glorious.

I also got to be involved in some of their youth shows; I actually got a few acting parts despite the fact that I'm a pretty bad actor and horrible at memorizing lines. More fun than that, I got to help out as a sort of assistant director for some children's theater workshops put on by local actors. Every Saturday for a summer, I went to one of the theaters to help guide a group of kids (it changed every week) in theater activities and act out a Roald Dahl story that they then performed for their parents. I absolutely loved doing this; I loved working alongside professional performers; I loved being able to participate in theater on a level I was comfortable with; I loved that I could get out of my freaking house; and I loved working with the kids. (Incidentally this is also what got me interested in working with kids, which has been my profession for the past six years.) So that, plus the volunteering, was the biggest part of my theater experience growing up.

Side note, it was through the magic of theater (and one enormous crush on a fellow volunteer) that made me realize I was gay. Of course, because the managers of one of the theaters ALSO happened to be gay (and married), my parents figured I'd been Converted(tm), and that's where the positivity about theater in my house ended. But once I got to college, I had fewer restraints, so I was free to get involved in theater (though I quickly realized a theater major was not for me). I did a bit of acting (never in mainstage shows), but mostly I participated in playwright groups and events. This is where I began writing plays in earnest and actually became good at it. It helped me get over the whole not-being-able-to-act thing. Plus I got to see a lot of shows because they were either a) free or b) severely discounted for students.

I almost got to go to a Big City to participate in a regional college theater festival by virtue of participating in a classmate’s theater project, but for reasons I also don’t need to go into, I was literally the only one who ended up not being able to go.

Aside from that though (an the ill-fated class I mentioned to you a while back), most of my theater experiences have been really positive, and I’m really grateful for that because it helped me get through some tough times at home. Plus there’s nothing like the joy of being involved in live performance. Once COVID winds down and I’m done with school, I want to see if I can get involved in some of the local theater groups in my city. I do still have a connection with one theater group from my old hometown (the one that did the readings of my plays), but the pandemic really put a nix on that. They’re still doing some virtual stuff though.

So anyway that’s probably way more information than you wanted but yeah. That’s my story.
