This Feels Illegal
Ash, as everyone's getting ready for the show in Sing 2: “Dad, I know we technically have permission to be doing what we’re doing since the keycards still work, but this all feels very illegal.”
Buster, cheerfully: That’s half the fun of it!
Johnny, terrified in the background: I guarantee you it is not!!

Ironwood: "No."

My fun fact is that monoma name is (possibly) based off of the word monomaniac which basically means "exaggerated or obsessive enthusiasm for or preoccupation with one thing"
and that makes me go "This is literally just the description of a special interest monoma is literally autistic"
I REMEBER SEEING THAT!!!!
Im sure it just means his obsession with 1-a but actually suddenly i cant hear the people telling me that lalalallalalallala
hes SO autistic guys real not fake
also i like thinking abt his struggles to fit in with his class (them often telling other people around him when hes being overly silly that monoma is just a lot to deal with and to tone him out) is also so autistic.
i wish he had more screentime and character so he could be more autistic coded like izuku.

Something I've been thinking about lately is like, how my gender presentation affects me as a performer.
I love the performing arts, acting, singing, improv, dance, everything, and I've pretty much done everything at some point. I'm a high schooler now and am working to pursue it professionally and the main way I can do that rn is performing in choir and drama at my school or in the occasional summer camp. This past year, I've been in my schools SSAA choir, was King Theseus in a production of midsummer, ensemble in The Little Mermaid, and am planning to do a production of "Freaky Friday" over the summer.
The thing is, how I can present as a performer vs in my day to day life changes drastically. Generally I present pretty androgynous/masculine leaning. I'm hairy and don't shave (partially for sensory reasons), I wear loose clothing made for comfort (Graphic tees, sweats, big jackets and coats, etc), and my hair is cut in a short androgynous style. I don't typically get adressed with masculine terms or pronouns, but this is mainly because of my feminine body type, (given) name, fem leaning voice, and the fact that I just don't meet a lot of new people who don't know that I am afab and assume fem. But generally yes, if I'm wearing something that doesn't show my body type I get treated as more masculine by those who don't know me.
In choir, this doesn't affect me, we don't have a uniform beyond wearing concert black, the only thing that affects my position is my voice part, which places me with the sopranos. (We also are just generally largely queer with a very cool director lmao). In plays, it does somewhat, I have only performed in two plays with this school (and honestly generally, youth theatre is usually limited to musicals) but I have been cast in more masculine roles in ensemble or just recently Theseus. I binded (well "binded", with 1-2 tight sports bras) in that role, but it was mostly to get into character as well as to just fit myself into the suit jacket I had for the chatacter. My masculine presentation works with my semi fem speaking voice and there hasn't been any roles where I felt I didn't fit (especially in this production, where we gender bended for a saphic Lysander and Hermia).
In musicals however, I feel like things change, and typically feminine voice part clashes with masculine presentation. Characters who are masc are typically played be tenors and bases while fem is associated with sopranos and altos. This hasn't come up yet, little mermaid had a very large ensemble where they truly just tried to fit anyone somewhere and ended up with several fem people with higher voice parts in fathoms below as sailors, and pre highschool, and especially pre pandemic gender awakening, my roles were pretty much feminine or "youre one of the 5 students with previous experience play a tenor in our tiny underfunded school production". And while I haven't had any gripes with casting (I quite literally asked for an ensemble part due to my workload at the time, and we had an extremely talented principle cast), I worry in future productions like Freaky Friday where gender roles are more hard and fast, how I present genderwise out of a production could affect my chances of a larger part.
I'm not expecting roles to be handed to me, I don't pretend that I should get every single large role or that I need to or "deserve to" break out of the ensemble, but at a certain point I just get anxious about whether decisions are made purely by what I can do.
I don't even dislike femininity or presenting as such, I use all pronouns and terms and on occasion will wear things like dresses and makeup for the purpose of being fem (I have this one thats like puffy sleeved with mushrooms that I adore, usually wear it with like a corset and some heels, also I wear like a lot of crop/bra tops but those feel andro/masc when I wear them wierdly enough). But for me femininity feels more performative, like something fun for a special or formal occasion, or in some cases the gender I occasionally gravitate towards when my gender decides to be fluid instead of just "none gender left boobs" once in a blue moon. I don't know how I feel about doing things like shaving or wearing more fem clothing to look a part, especially shaving because that's more permanent and takes a lot of energy from both the work and the sensory experience (especially when I am naturally very hairy). I will perform as fem without any question, but altering my lifestyle/presentation for a longer time like this just makes me feel anxious, Ive done this maybe once since I had any sort of awareness of my gender queerness and I dont exactly look forward to figuring out trial and error style whether on not it gives me any sort of disphoria (especially when I already know my Dad, who is very open about preffering when I present feminine, would make a huge fuss about it), or even any sensory discomfort when I havent done this in so long and last time I did there was some.
Idk sorry if this is long and incoherent (can you tell I have adhd from the amount of parentheses and commas lmao), but idk I've just been feeling kinda anxious about this lately, if anyone has any stories, experiences, or advice around this sort of thing I would love to hear it.

My project sekai OC, Tenma Riku:
Tsukasa's twin brother who was born second. He turned inwards when Saki got hospitalized and fights depression.
social recluse who barely ever leaves his room
has a hard time expressing himself through words
has an inferiority complex because of Tsukasa's achievements. he feels like he's nothing compared to his brother who can do anything
they're on good terms, but Riku secretly has a lot of pent up anger because of this
he feels like Saki loves Tsukasa more than him because his brother has a more direct way of showing his love while Riku doesn't know how to communicate his feelings
he gave up on playing the piano. he was never very good at it and didn't have it in him to keep trying
he's a fan of Nightcord at 25:00
attends evening classes with Ena
outside of school, he only wears black
his voice is soft and timid. he has a mild stutter
wants to join the school chorus but he's scared of singing in front of people
loves cats
has a pet spider that Tsukasa hates
gamer
started talking to Nene through an online game years ago and they're friends who play together a lot
he's also friends with Touya. Riku does library duty with him at school sometimes
he's good with computers and asked Rui if he'd help him improve his coding skills. Rui is really kind to him and treats him completely different from Tsukasa. also he loves the spider
Riku feels comfortable with Rui. he always looks forward to spending time with him again
he has a torrented version of the vocaloid software and writes his own songs using Rin and Len
most of them are sad and some of them are angry
left handed
hates crowds
lives in constant fear of people mistaking him for Tsukasa and approaching him while he's out
the only time he was glad that it happened was when he stopped to listen to Kohane's street performance on the way home from therapy. they talked a little afterwards and he explained that they're twins
he might have a crush on her
one time Saki lost a toy she really liked, and he used all his money to buy her a new one, then gave it to her as if he found it. a long time later, Saki found the actual toy she lost and felt really moved
she actually loves both her brothers the same, even if Riku doesn't feel that way
The forest sekai:
Riku wishes he could go outside more, but he hates the presence of other people. He also loves singing, but only has the courage to do so when he's home alone. These feelings manifest as a sekai where he can sing to his heart's content in a beautiful forest.
In the middle, there's a big clearing where the sun always shines and a set of two swings. A path through the forest leads to the shore with a lighthouse. Sometimes they host tea parties with Miku, Rin, and Len. The wild animals inhabiting the sekai often come around as well.
The other three virtual singers appear as cats who like to meow or mrow along to the melody. Riku loves them a lot, sometimes they play or nap together in the sun. Kaito is a big softie, Luka is really fluffy but sort of a tsundere, and Meiko loves playing, especially with the toys Riku brings them himself.
There's a koi pond, and a lot of room to build sandcastles by the lighthouse. They stay in the same state forever unless the person who made it destroys the castle themselves.
