So here you have something there's never been a complaint about in 40 years, that I've heard of, and now all of a sudden we can't do it because it'll offend people. What is one supposed to make of that?
Tumblr media
Actors warned John Cleese that his Life of Brian stage show should not include a scene about a man wanting to be a woman and have a baby, the comedian has said.
The Monty Python star is working on a stage production of the troupe’s 1979 comedy film, The Life of Brian, which parodies the Messianic message of the New Testament.
In the film version, a character named Stan explains that he wants to be a woman called Loretta and “have babies”, before being told by Cleese’s character Reg that this was impossible.
This exchange reportedly met with opposition from actors in a readthrough of the script for the planned stage show because it could “offend people”, raising doubt as to its inclusion in the final production.
'You can't do that stuff nowadays'
Cleese said performers involved in the readthrough told him: “We love the script, but you can't do that stuff about Loretta nowadays.”
Speaking to the audience for his one-man show, he added:  "So here you have something there's never been a complaint about in 40 years, that I've heard of, and now all of a sudden we can't do it because it'll offend people. What is one supposed to make of that?
“But I think there were a lot of things that were actually, in some strange way, predictive of what was actually going to happen later."
youtube
The potentially offensive scene features Eric Idle as Stan telling his fellow members of the People's Front of Judea “I want to be a woman”, and adding “from now on, I want you all to call me Loretta”.
He explains that this is because he wants to have babies, and explains that “it's every man's right to have babies if he wants them”.
'You haven't got a womb'
Cleese’s character Reg explains “you haven’t got a womb”, but the People’s Front decide that they will champion Stan’s right to have babies, as it is "it is symbolic of our struggle against oppression”.
Cleese revealed the concerns with the script amid a growing debate about gender ideology, which purports that people born female who identify as male are men, and could give birth to children as men.
This idea has been reflected in the NHS, with the Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust recently employing the phrase “birthing people” instead of mothers in an announcement about perinatal mental health care.
In 2021, Brighton and Sussex Hospitals NHS Trust unveiled “gender inclusive” phrases to be used as best practice by medical staff, advising that “birthing parent” was the more appropriate term.  The word “breastmilk” was replaced with “chestmilk”.
'I've changed some things'
While it remains to be seen if Cleese’s script will include Stan’s wish to be a woman, the star has said that audiences can expect some differences between the stage show and the film.
Cleese said: "I think Life Of Brian is our best film. We are going to do it in London in the second half of next year and I've changed certain things."
According to the Daily Mail, he said: "There is a new character - Fiona Pilate, Pilate's wife - who falls in love with Brian. And, spoiler alert, Brian does not get crucified. But rest assured he will still sing Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life."
The film was accused of being blasphemous when it was first released, and was banned in Ireland as part of a clerical backlash against the comedy, often cited as the greatest of all time.

Always Look on The Bright Side of Life - Monty Python ----- Rubirosa Italian Restaurant, Nolita, Manhattan, New York - May 3rd 2023
It was a cold night in the heart of Nolita, Manhattan, but inside a small Italian restaurant famous for its red and white awning, cozy interior and thin crusts pizza the atmosphere was warm and loud.
Rubirosa was full that night. All the tables were occupied including those by the bar, like it always was every night. No one could dine in without a reservation months in advance. Making it one of the most exclusive Italian restaurants to dine in. Despite it being full, somehow a couple could get an empty table that night. Yes, the table wasn't located in the most comfortable spot. It was loud and hot because it was near the kitchen, but this couple didn't care. They were there for the food and not the atmosphere.
A large pizza with toppings of pepperoni, mini meatball, tomatoes, roasted garlic and of course melted mozzarella was placed on the middle of the table. Y/n picked up a slice of the Rubirosa Supreme Pizza they had ordered and took a bite. No matter how many times in her life she had eaten it, it never failed to make her feel like she was just transported to heaven. She chewed it slowly while looking at her handsome fiance sitting across from her. He was eating the pizza too but his eyes were glued to hers and she could see a slight desire in his eyes. Desire for her.. not for the pizza obviously. She realized she had let out a soft moan after taking a bite of the pizza and that was what probably caused him to look at her that way. She blushed as she realized what she just did and her fiance smiled at her.
"You look pretty when you blush, sweetheart.. I miss seeing that." He winked, making her blush even more.
They were engaged for four months now and had been in a relationship for almost a year and a half, but he always were able to make her blush or skip a heart beat whenever he looked at her. They had been friends even longer than that, a whopping twenty years before they finally got together. Yet sometimes she felt like she just met him and fell in love with him. Which was a feeling she loved. She hoped she would never lose that feeling as they got married and became husband and wife. She hoped he could always make her feel butterflies in her stomach and make her heart beat faster.
They had been apart for three months because of his work. Sebastian Stan, her fiancee, was a famous Hollywood actor most notably known for his role as Bucky Barnes, The Winter Soldier in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He was filming for the new Marvel movie, Captain America New World Order in Atlanta and Prague from the beginning of the year and was just finished early that week. For the first month of shooting the movie, Y/n and their baby daughter Starlene went along with Sebastian to Atlanta. But having a baby on set was too much of a distraction. Not just for Sebastian but also to the other cast members and crew. Additionally, Y/n needed to plan and organize their wedding back in New York. It was a hassle to try to do it from Atlanta. So she and Starlene went back to New York on the second month of filming.
Y/n and Sebastian had decided to have their wedding on May 6th in New York because in June Sebastian was going to start filming another Marvel movie, The Thunderbolts. He only had a month off between filming Captain America New World Order and The Thunderbolts. They didn't want to wait longer to get married so they decided to have their wedding in early May. They planned on going on a honeymoon soon after. Well, they were going to take Starlene with them, so the term honeymoon was probably inaccurate. It was more like a family holiday.
Y/n originally didn't want to take Starlene with them knowing how much of a hassle it was to travel with a baby. However, Sebastian insisted. He said he wanted to take their baby because she was an integral part of their lives and that they were family anyway. He also missed her so much having been away from her for months. He thought it would be good to spend his time off with both of them and not just Y/n. Having heard Sebastian's reasons for wanting to take Starlene with them Y/n finally agreed, though with a heavy heart.
She didn't want to admit it to anyone but having a baby and taking care of her 24 hours a day 7 days a week had started to take a toll on her. Especially since she was alone for the past three months. She didn't want to sound like an ungrateful mother because Starlene was a sweet child and rarely caused trouble. But she sometimes missed just being able to be by herself or just enjoy having a bath without worrying their baby would look for her.
Starlene was 10 months old and wasn't able to walk yet but she could crawl around their apartment. And she could already get out of her crib by herself. Numerous times Y/n was in the bathroom and Starlene came crawling to find her, crying and screaming as if Y/n just left her alone in an orphanage or something. Y/n tried her best to still have some 'me time' despite having to care for Starlene everyday. But it still felt different. She felt she needed to be physically away from Starlene in order for her to be able to relax. So when Sebastian came home from Prague and asked her out on a date night before they officially became husband and wife, she immediately said yes.
Y/n continued eating her pizza while under the watchful eyes of Sebastian. She ended up staring back at his beautiful blue eyes. How much she missed those gorgeous eyes. Three months really was too long for them to be apart. But she needed to get used to it.
Sebastian was at the peak of his career, he had project after project to do that year and the year after. He was a workaholic and really enjoyed his craft. She understood that he didn't want to waste that time by being lazy in his work. He was an immigrant from Romania and worked his way up from the bottom. His mother married an American and they moved from Romania to the US when Sebastian was only twelve years old. Being an immigrant Sebastian always felt the need to prove himself to his Romanian family and he didn't want to waste his good fortune by being lazy. Y/n could accept that. Still, she wished he hadn't been so busy and had more time for her and Starlene. It was something she probably needed to talk about with him as they were about to get married.
They finally finished eating their pizza and as soon as they did Sebastian quickly asked for the check to the waitress.
"Iubirea mea, we still haven't ordered dessert yet. Why are you in a hurry?" Y/n asked, calling him with the endearing name she came up with for him which meant "my love" in Romanian. Her eyebrows raised as she watched Sebastian pulled his wallet out and put some dollar bills on top of the check.
"I don't really feel like having dessert.. except if it's you." Sebastian winked making her blush yet again.
He just came back to New York the day before and they hadn't had the chance to make love since he came back. Y/n suspected they would be able to do it that night and she really was looking forward to it too, as much as she was ashamed to admit it.
Sebastian pulled her hand up and she stood up. They walked quickly out of the restaurant and got into his car parked not far from there. As soon as they got in Sebastian turned her face to face him and kissed her passionately, surprising Y/n.
"You really miss me, don't you?" Y/n said breathlessly as Sebastian started to plant kisses along the side of her neck.
"You have no idea how much I miss you, sweetheart." Sebastian whispered on her ear, sending shivers down her spine.
"Let's just go home, Iubirea mea.." Y/n said, pushing Sebastian off her.
"You can't wait either can you?" Sebastian chuckled and Y/n just gave him a bashful smile.
"Alright, let's go home. Let's have the best sex ever before we become husband and wife." Sebastian said as he started the engine of his car, making her chuckle.
It literally took them minutes to get back to their apartment. The distance between the restaurant and their apartment was only 0,3 miles. But they didn't want to walk there because as Sebastian became more famous, it was increasingly difficult for him to be able to walk down the street without being noticed. So they felt more comfortable riding in a car where people wouldn't be able to see him.
Sebastian parked his car in a parking garage near their apartment, and they walked hand in hand toward their apartment. It was 9 pm already and there weren't many people around, so they weren't afraid of being noticed. All the way there Sebastian kept whispering to her what he would like to do to her once they get back, making her blush and giggle all the way. He really was in a seductive mood, she thought and she couldn't help but feel flattered that she could make him feel like that.
When they got on their floor of their apartment they could hear a loud yelling coming out from inside their apartment. They had left Starlene to be babysat by Edward, Sebastian's best friend and personal assistant. Shannon, Y/n's best friend whom she usually asked to babysit Starlene had a date with her boyfriend so she couldn't babysit Starlene that night. They didn't want to bother Sebastian's mother, who was living in Nyack, New York, 30 miles away from them, to babysit. Thankfully Edward was available. The problem was, Edward himself had no experience with a baby because he didn't have children yet. But they had no other option so they decided to trust Edward, hoping he would be able to handle it. They weren't planning on leaving for too long anyway. But hearing Edward's loud yelling from inside their apartment made Y/n immediately regret deciding to leave Starlene to be babysat by Edward.
When they opened their apartment door they were welcomed by the most unexpected scene they ever saw. Edward was on the floor holding a golden retriever puppy Sebastian had adopted as a birthday present for Y/n a month before. Y/n had complained of being somewhat lonely being away from Sebastian. Being a thoughtful fiancee, Sebastian decided to give her a companion in the form of an eight week old golden retriever puppy. Y/n was delighted to accept the puppy but she secretly felt it was more of a hassle then helpful. Taking care of both a baby and a puppy alone really was not a walk in the park. She didn't dare voice her concerns to Sebastian though, afraid of hurting his feelings. So she kept her feelings to herself. The puppy turned out to be a great companion for Starlene. And as he grew older and became smarter and more trained, Y/n had started to feel more used to him and really was grateful he was there to accompany her and Starlene.
Y/n's eyes widened as he watched Edward on the floor. He had his hand on the back of the puppy's neck, hitting it repeatedly as he yelled.
"Bad boy, bad boy Lucky! Spit it out! Spit it out Lucky!" Edward yelled.
Starlene was sitting on the floor near Edward, her hand holding a plush doll in the form of a dog and she was hitting the doll's neck, much like Edward did while yelling in a garbled baby voice only she could understand.
Their apartment was in such a mess. Starlene's and Lucky's toys were strewn all over the floor. The TV was on loudly showing an episode from Sesame Street where Elmo was singing. Y/n glanced on the coffee table and saw a bowl of popcorn filled halfway through and popcorn were strewn all over the table. A baby bottle filled with milk laid sideways by the bowl, with its cap nowhere to be seen.  She glanced toward the kitchen and saw an opened can of baby formula, the measurement spoon lying on the table next to it and some of the baby formula dusted the table.
"Edward! What the h**l is going on?!" Sebastian shouted as he went down on the floor and pried Lucky, their puppy, off Edward's hands.
"Oh.. you guys are home!" Edward said, looking at both Sebastian and Y/n with a guilty look on his face.
Y/n went down and picked Starlene up off the floor and carried her while Sebastian picked Lucky up and carried him away from Edward.
"Edward, did Lucky eat something he isn't supposed to?" Y/n asked pointedly.
"He did.. I'm sorry.. I was busy preparing Starlene's milk and didn't see what he was doing. I left them for only like a minute. I swear!" Edward sighed as he got up off the floor and dusted his pants.
"What did he eat?" Sebastian asked while studying Lucky. The puppy was whimpering in his arms, he still seemed shocked.
"He.. umm.. he ate one of your wedding rings." Edward said slowly, his head hung in shame and he put one of his hand behind his neck nervously.
"He what?!" Y/n and Sebastian exclaimed in unison, their eyes widened in surprise.
"Yeah, I'm sorry. I put the velvet box containing the rings on the coffee table as I went to make Starlene her milk. I left Starlene and Lucky on the sofa and I guess Starlene crawled down and somehow opened the velvet box and got one of the rings out. When I got back I saw Lucky licked the ring and then he ate it. I tried to prevent him from swallowing it but it happened so fast, there was nothing I could do." Edward explained, his eyebrows furrowed in anxiety.
"Great! Now what do we do?!" Sebastian exclaimed in frustration.
Sebastian just gave Edward their wedding rings earlier that day as Edward was his best man and was supposed to keep them safe.
"The wedding is in 3 days and I don't know how long it'll take for Lucky to pass it out in his stool. IF he can pass it at all. What if it gets stuck in his intestine?!" Sebastian asked as he continued to study Lucky who was now struggling to get free from his arms.
"That's why I tried to make him spit it out or throw up." Edward said.
"But that's not how you make him spit it out, you were hurting him!" Sebastian protested.
"Well I don't know how else to do it! I'm not a doctor! I'm already stressed enough as it is!" Edward replied back, defending himself.
"You only had to watch them for two hours, Edward, two hours! Seriously!" Sebastian said.
"Well I'm sorry if I'm doing a bad job. As you know, I don't have children or pets on my own. You should have chosen someone with more experience!" Edward protested.
Edward's eyes looked sad and anxious. He seemed to be really overwhelmed. Y/n could see there were dark circles under his eyes. Being best man for Sebastian had taken a toll on him it seemed. Sebastian being away from New York didn't help. Several times Edward had to fly to Atlanta and Prague with the tailor to make sure Sebastian's suit was perfect. On top of that he also had the responsibility of taking care of the transportation for Sebastian, Y/n and their whole family from their places to the wedding venue, as well as organizing all the groomsmen and planning the bachelor's party. Taking care of Starlene and Lucky was not supposed to be his job as well. They really should have just hired a professional baby sitter. Sebastian seemed to realize he was too harsh on Edward too.
"Let's just focus on the situation at hand, Edward." Sebastian sighed and lowered his tone of voice.
"Do you think it's better to clean up the ring from vomit or poop? That's the big question. So we can decide what to do." Edward said as he racked his brain trying to find a solution.
"What kind of question is that?" Sebastian asked incredulously.
"A valid question for the problem at hand." Edward folded his hand in front of him, annoyed at Sebastian's remarks.
"Well.. I prefer cleaning poop.. vomit will trigger me to vomit as well." Sebastian said after giving it some thought.
"Seriously, dude. But it's poop.. dog poop at that. Personally I'd rather clean up vomit." Edward said.
"Well.. this isn't helping. Besides, how are we supposed to make him vomit or poop. I have no freaking idea!" Sebastian said, raising his voice again in frustration.
"Guys, stop bickering already! I know what to do." Y/n said as she looked up from her cellphone. While the boys were bickering she consulted the internet and figured out the best way to handle the situation was to bring Lucky to the vet.
"Seb, let's go. We have to take Lucky to the vet. They'll be able to help." She continued while putting her cellphone back in her pocket.
"But it's late, what vet opens at this hour?" Sebastian asked incredulously.
"There's one specializing in emergency situations on 6th St, they should be open now." Y/n said referring to a 24 hour veterinary emergency clinic located about 2 miles from their apartment.
"Okay, let's go." Sebastian said as he carried Lucky out of their apartment. Edward and Y/n followed him out the door, close on his heels.
It took them 15 minutes to get to the clinic. Thankfully there was a vet available and no one else was there so Lucky was able to be seen immediately. After listening to their stories and examining Lucky, the vet decided to induce vomiting from Lucky. Within five minutes of being given a medicine to induce vomiting, sure enough, Lucky vomited and thankfully their wedding ring came out with it. 
"Just give the ring to Edward, here, doctor. He said he preferred cleaning the ring from vomit instead of poop after all." Sebastian beckoned his head toward Edward who was standing near the door of the examination room. Clearly he was joking and made the vet and Y/n laugh.
"Yeah, I deserve that." Edward said, looking down on the floor in shame.
Their ring ended up cleaned by the vet's assistant, and Y/n made a mental note to clean it again at home. The ring Lucky swallowed was the one for her, she needed to make sure it was thoroughly cleaned before the wedding.
"Thank you, doctor." Sebastian said as they all started to leave the examination room.
"No problem Mr.Stan. You must watch Lucky carefully. He's in that phase of putting things in his mouth. Don't let him near anything dangerous to eat again." the vet explained.
"Of course, doctor." Sebastian nodded.
"I'm sorry again guys about what happened." Edward said as soon as they got out of the clinic. He looked at them both with deep regret in his eyes.
"I f****d up big time. I'm really sorry." He said, his head hung.
"It's okay Edward, the important thing is Lucky is okay and we got the ring back." Sebastian said, clapping his best friend's shoulder.
"I'm sorry that I was yelling at you." Sebastian continued as he gazed at his best friend, his eyebrows furrowed in regret.
"It's okay, man." Edward said, giving him a small smile. Relief started to fill his eyes.
"Thank you so much for everything, Edward. You have been by my side all this time and I was such a d**k. I mean.. Of all the things I trusted you to handle you only mess up this one time. You didn't deserve to be treated like that. I don't know what I would do without your help, Edward. I'm sorry." Sebastian said as he gave him a meaningful look.
"It's okay, Seb. Thank you for trusting me all this time. I guess I have to fail at something in order to improve myself." Edward said.
"That's a good way of looking into it." Y/n smiled and patted Edward's arm in encouragement while Sebastian reached out and gave Edward a hug.
"Anyway, I hope it's okay with you but I guess we're gonna keep the ring ourselves until the wedding day." Sebastian said, releasing Edward from his hug.
"Yeah, sure. I don't trust myself with it anyway." Edward shrugged.
"Yeah, I'm sorry, man. I just don't want to take a risk, you know." Sebastian said.
"Yeah, I get it. It's fine." Edward smiled.
"By the way, don't forget, we'll pick you up at 6 pm tomorrow for the bachelor's party, okay?" Edward said.
"Oh yeah, okay. Where are you guys gonna take me?" Sebastian asked.
"It's a secret.. you'll see." Edward winked.
"I hope you're not gonna take him to a stripper club, Edward." Y/n said.
"Y/n.. we're not that low in taste.. besides, the paparazzis are gonna have a field day if he goes to a stripper club." Edward said, making a valid point.
"Yeah you're right." Y/n nodded.
Having cleared up the situation with Edward, they walked toward Sebastian's car and went home. Edward tagged along as he didn't bring his own transportation to their apartment. After dropping Edward off at his apartment, Sebastian and Y/n went back to their apartment. 
Starlene was asleep by the time they got back. After putting Starlene in her crib, Y/n went around the apartment putting back toys where they belong and cleaned up the coffee and kitchen table. She also cleaned up the ring Lucky had swallowed. Sebastian had given her the ring at the vet. He trusted her more than himself to keep it safe. She found Sebastian's wedding ring still inside the velvet box right under the coffee table. She picked it up, put her perfectly cleaned ring in the box next to Sebastian's ring, and put them both safely away in a dresser in her bedroom.
After she finished cleaning up, Y/n flopped down on the couch in their living room and massaged her temple. She felt really tired after all that just happened. Sebastian came to sit down next to her not long after. He just finished putting Lucky in his bed and successfully made him sleep.
"So.." Sebastian said, glancing at Y/n.
"So.." Y/n glanced back at him.
They both burst out laughing as the absurdity of what just happened finally hit them.
"So much for a sexy night." Y/n said after their laughter finally subsided.
"We can still have a sexy night if you want to." Sebastian winked and he launched himself at Y/n and started tickling her waist.
"Seb, no..stop it.." Y/n giggled as she tried to pry his tickling hands away from her.
"The monster needs to eat.. monster is hungry.." Sebastian growled playfully and he started to kiss Y/n's neck making her squirm even more. He then stood up and hoisted her over his shoulder effortlessly.
"Noo.. someone help.. a monster is trying to eat me!" Y/n protested playfully as Sebastian carried her toward their bedroom, squirming and struggling all the way.
"Ssshhh.. sweetheart, keep it down.. you're gonna wake Starlene or Lucky." Sebastian reminded her as he walked nearer to their bedroom.
Sure enough once they almost entered their bedroom Starlene woke up and started crying, prompting Sebastian to turn toward Starlene's room. But he forgot to account for Y/n being on his shoulder and her head hit the door frame of their bedroom when he turned.
"Ouch!" Y/n yelped in pain.
"Oh my God, honey.. I'm so sorry.. are you okay?" Sebastian asked in concern as he put her down on the floor in front of Starlene's room.
"I'm okay.. I'm okay.. " Y/n said, rubbing the bump on her head. She felt slightly lightheaded as her head throbbed painfully. Sebastian rubbed her head gently and kissed it, making her feel somewhat better. Then they stared at each other for a moment amidst Starlene's cries and burst out laughing.
"What's happening to us Iubirea mea?" She giggled.
"I don't know, honey. But I have a feeling our wedding is going to be interesting." He chuckled.
He then stood up and pulled Y/n up with him and they entered Starlene's room. Y/n carried Starlene and rocked her to sleep while Sebastian sang a lullaby he loved to sing for her.
"When I see you smile.. I can change the world.. woaaah.. you know I can do anything." Sebastian crooned softly. His choice of a lullaby wasn't exactly conventional but it did the job. Starlene fell asleep after Sebastian finished singing the whole song. Y/n put her down gently in her crib and they went out of her room, closing the door behind them softly.
They went into their bedroom and Sebastian wasted no time in continuing where they left off. As soon as the bedroom door closed he started to kiss Y/n passionately and guided her toward their bed. Y/n was surprised but couldn't deny that she wanted it too. It was just that her head still ached and she felt a weird burning feeling in her nose. As Sebastian laid her down on the bed, she felt something trickling down from her nose. She tasted it and the metallic tang from it made her realize her nose was bleeding.
"Honey, you're bleeding!" Sebastian exclaimed in concern, realizing it as well as he looked down at her.
He got up from the bed and grabbed a tissue box from the nightstand. He pulled some sheets of tissue from the tissue box, cleaned the blood that already trickled down from her nose. He then pulled some more tissue and rolled them into small pieces and put them in Y/n's nose gently.
"Thank you, Iubirea mea." Y/n smiled as she looked up at him.
Sebastian propped himself with his left hand and laid down next to her. He looked down at her with a soft adoring look on his face.
"You're welcome, honey. Do you want to go to a doctor to get checked?" He asked in concern as he gently caressed Y/n's cheek with his thumb.
"No, it's okay. I think I'm gonna be just fine." She said, shaking her head.
"Okay then." Sebastian said and for a moment they just gazed at each other in a comfortable silence.
"You look beautiful." He said while still caressing her cheek.
"Are you sure, Iubirea mea? I bet I look like Mike Tyson just hit me in the face." She commented, making him laugh.
"You still look a thousand times more beautiful having just been hit by Mike Tyson compared to any girl in the world." He continued, winking at her.
She smiled listening to his compliment. He could be over the top whenever he complimented her to the point where it made her feel uncomfortable at times. But she couldn't deny that she loved it too.
He leaned down and started kissing her again but she was seriously still not feeling good. So she pushed him away gently.
"I'm sorry, Iubirea mea. Can we.. umm.. postpone this? I'm still having a headache." She grimaced.
"Oh..yeah..alright. I'm sorry, honey. We should just go to sleep. Get some rest." Sebastian said and Y/n nodded.
They got up from the bed and changed into their sleeping attire.
"I really hope what happened weren't signs of anything bad that's going to happen." Sebastian said as he pulled up the comforter on their bed and scooted in.
"Seb, I'm sure they were just accidents. Stop being so superstitious." Y/n said, sighing as she pulled the comforter on her side of the bed and scooted in next to him.
"Well, you know I was brought up in Romania where the people still believe in a lot of superstition." Sebastian said, defending himself.
"Yeah, I know. It's still annoying though, sometimes." Y/n commented.
"You really think so?" Sebastian asked, his eyebrows raised.
"I'm sorry, Iubirea mea. Let's just go to sleep. I'm tired." Y/n said as she scooted closer to him and put her arms around him. All the sexy feelings she had went out the window as her head still ached and she still had the tissue in her nose.
"Yeah, okay. I'm exhausted too." Sebastian said, putting his arms around her as well.
"Good night, Iubirea mea." Y/n mumbled as she looked up at him.
"Good night, sweetheart." Sebastian smiled as he looked down at her and gave her a soft kiss on her forehead.
They went to sleep that night without making love yet again. Something Y/n didn't expect. But her mood for it really went out the window. And it seemed Sebastian's mood for it was also gone. He was asleep within minutes after saying good night to her.
She felt kind of weird. They had been apart for months and they hadn't made love yet since they met. Not that they didn't want to. The timing was just always off strangely enough. Was this a peek into married life? She thought as she felt a little sadness crept into her heart. The next night Sebastian was expected to stay over wherever Edward had planned his bachelor's party to be held. And for the night after that, well.. they planned on spending the night before their wedding separately as they tried to follow the tradition on not seeing each other until the wedding ceremony. So really, that night was supposed to be their last night together before the wedding.
Y/n decided to brush the sadness feeling off. They still had the next morning to make up for it before their wedding. She hoped she would feel better the next morning and they could probably make love as soon as they woke up. And after the wedding they would have more nights to be together. After all, they were going to live together happily ever after. She should just focus on that. She thought and she finally drifted off to sleep with that comforting thought in her mind.

Fun late night facts:
Ze at one point was learning piano with a certain someone and was kinda unsettled by pianos for a bit after the incident but as a bit of healing from that, they let Seo teach them piano. It’s one of their favorite instruments now, despite normally playing violin.
Ze also knows Final Duet for Omori by heart. They play it when they are in that painful-remembering mood.
Seo knows how to play guitar and played the instrumental for jingles the addisons would make to sell products, because no matter what he’s horrible at singing. He got carried away during a car trip with Queen and Swatch and started singing, Swatch promptly told him “if you keep singing like that I’m going to figure out how hard it is to clean addison blood” (they were joking, but Swatch is very monotone) and now he avoids singing.
Quinn often sings and hums while going on adventures around Rele and often almost dies because they lure dangerous creatures to them. Quinn also knows how to play a few songs with a trumpet, but not for long sense their goo stuff gets caught in it.
Alo sings lullabies to Ollie to help him sleep and to try and help keep him from getting nightmares.
Eclipse can play guitar as well as sing, but Valentine is extremely tone deaf. Val tries to help sing with Eclipse and she very determinedly asks him to stop and often tells him “if you weren’t the God of Love, the love songs you sing would get you slapped.”
Current Seo prefers playing acoustic but past Seo (Spamton) prefers electric.
Ze at some point has done the “give me money give me money” thing.
Veiw can sing and has a similar singing voice to the guy who sings Poisoning Pigeons in The Park.
Danny sounds like the guy who sings Always Look on The Bright Side of Life from Monty Python, and often sings that and Memento Mori: the most important thing in the world by Will Wood to remind people of the fact they are going to die. (Often Ze because they are very confused of how they are still alive)

Is the present cast as good as when it first opened on Broadway in the early 2000's? Debatable. Where Tim Curry absolutely killed it as King Arthur and under Mike Nichols brilliant direction, "Spamalot was a sensation back when. Under the book by Eric Idle and music by John Du Prez and Eric Idle this musical is still a brilliant piece. Director (and choreography) Josh Rhodes takes this great piece based on the 1975 movie Monty Python and The Holy Grail now playing at the St. James Theatre and keeps the side splitting laughter front and center.
It is 932 AD, plague beseeches much of England. God has chosen King Arthur (James Monroe Iglehart) to find the Holy Grail. Arthur summons his round table to help him in his journey. From Sir Lancelot(Taran Killam), Sir Robin( Michael Urie), Galahad (Nik Walker), the entire trip is rip roaring laughter!
The cast plays many roles and all are quite good, however, Michael Urie and Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer(The Lady of the Lake), steal the show. Urie is one of the best Broadway has to offer today; having seen him in various role over the years, Urie always give the audience a treat with his acting. Kritzer's singing, her acting were outstanding.
As the King trudges through a not- yet-united-kingdom, he is helped along by his neglected sidekick Patsy (Christopher Fitzgerald). Faced with zany characters (some oversized; to the Ni' and onto a killer rabbit). We meet mud-covered mothers and an amputee swordsman. Adding to this farce, even the French get spoofed and it maybe the highlight of the afternoon.
What has been added to this "Spamalot" is the frustrated historian and it is well played by Ethan Slater (SpongeBob the Musical), wimpy Prince Herbert, the killer bunny and many other wacky characters. Slater, like Urie gives us great business, funny action that brings the show to higher levels.
The design in this musical is decent (Paul Tate dePoo lll) as is the projections. I thought the projection here never changes the locations well enough. In the design it merely supports the show rather than being just functional it never raises the show to a bigger brighter visual. Here we get a missed opportunity to separate itself from the "Spamelot" we saw back in 2005.
In Jen Caprio's costume design, Cory Pattak's lighting and Kai Harada's sound design we get full support to the musical. Where scenic and projection just exist, the aforementioned really bring great effect and support to this two plus hours of entertainment.
In a spoof such as this, the music needs to be as memorable as the plot itself. Songs like :"I Am Not Dead Yet", "All In One", "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life", "You Won't Succeed on Broadway", "Diva's Lament" and "I'm All Alone" are all memorable and funny.
By way of entertainment, "Spamalot" is great-good-fun and certainly something we can all us in these times; pure escapism and for the most part, the jokes land well. The actors are versatile and talented and they bring excitement and lite fun to their performances. The show never is slow and moves at a rapid pace throughout. Comparing it to when it first came to Broadway hurts this show in that it had a different director, different actors but I promise you that you will not be disappointed seeing this rendition.
Broadway, Spamalot, Some Like It Hot, A Beautiful Noise, The Shark is Broken, Back To The Future, Hamilton, Aladdin, The Lion King, Michael Urie, Tim Curry, David Hyde Pierce, Harry Potter and The Cursed Child, Tony Awards, www.broadwayworld.com, Mann About Town, Metropolitan Magazine, My Life Publications, Nimbus Magazine, WACE Entertainment, Gimme Shelter Productions, LLC.

Oh this is hilarious.
Random trivia time.
During the Falklands War, Argentina managed to get a good hit on the guided missile destroyer HMS Sheffield, and I'll cut and paste from here.
The crew of Sheffield fought for almost four hours to save the ship before Captain Salt made the decision to abandon ship due to the risk of fires igniting the Sea Dart magazine, the loss of the combat capability of the destroyer, and the exposed position to air attack of Arrow and Yarmouth. Most of the Sheffield's crew climbed over onto Arrow, a few transferred by Gemini RHIB to Yarmouth, while some were taken by helicopter to Hermes. As Sheffield's crew departed in Arrow, Sub-lieutenant Carrington-Wood led the crew in singing "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" from Monty Python's Life of Brian
Switching from Wiki to another source
A month later the British ship HMS Coventry was badly damaged and sunk in a bomber attack. While waiting in the water to be rescued and watching their ship fall to the depths, the crew started singing ironic song to cheer themselves up.
A decade later, in 1991 During the Gulf War, the tradition still didn’t die out. British Tornado bombers flew on some of the most dangerous low-level missions against Iraqi troops. During this bombing runs they were facing strong anti-aircraft fire. As their brothers in arms from Royal Navy, pilots flying on these missions used to sing “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.

Headcanons for my potterlock fic
(HP and the Adventures of SH)  - to possibly implement
Sherlock gets weirdly passionate about Muggle history, especially Reneissance, knows random trivia about painters and sculptors
he and Greg develop an addiciton to Classic Who (=an excuse for me to binge it this summer) every time they’re at John’s
John has unspoken beef with the Muggle Studies teacher because they told him that Monty Python is mediocre comedy, it is never mentioned again only when John watches telly and he curses the teacher for their lack of appreciation
*always look on the bright side of life*
Blake (OC) and Luna love to discuss anything and everything over tea every Friday afternoon
Blake and Luna also include Draco 
Draco joins them at first because he hopes to get dirt on Harry, but he grows to like and respect Luna and become protective of her (it takes time, but she will be a sister he never had to him) = they discuss various literature pieces, etc...
Draco deduces people for fun and has a variety of creative insults up his sleeve (guess who he got that from)
Harry likes Toblerones. a lot. try to take it from his cold dead hands and you’re hexed into next Wednesday
Sherlock and Hermione (in 1997 timeline) bond over general idiocy
Greg loves to bicker with Sherlock and be a frenemy to him, but he knows when to step back and help his friend get up and vice versa. FRENEMIES BUT FRENS
where is that tumblr post where a pureblood insults a muggleborn and he licks his hand and slaps the pureblood and starts singing Queen’s We Will Rock You? That’s John. Molly joins him. The whole Lucky Seven joins, as do other muggleborns. *chaos*
Hogsmeade but it’s free real estate for both 1980s and 1990s timeline and who gets more candy wins the others’ treats too and is given free butterbeer the next two times. it’s pointless and someone gets cavities but it’s fun
John: “Sherlock you can’t tell McGonagall her technique is getting slower it’s rude” Greg: “Jusging by how fast she was to zip his mouth shut that’s not true” Sherlock: *silent pouting*
Mary and Molly always are 2 steps ahead of the boys. girl power!
Hermione and Luna and Blake also have outings when she sees Blake is the nicest, most sensible dude around. she brings cookies and they practise those cute spells that conjure tiny birbs n’ stuff
Mycroft... man, he’s tired, and sad. so he stress-bakes muffins but never eats them because stress doesn’t let him. #projecting
Mycroft and Sherlock do have that sibling war going on, but do they? 
Greg and Mycroft only have Sherlock in common at first, but did you know that both of them love Shakespear? discuss
Ron and Harry are dumbasses, yes, but have you considered these 2 accompanied by a blender?
even better - A   M I C R O W A VE
I’ll leave it there for now I’ve just infodumped you all to stop crying about university, exams, and deadlines approaching. More is coming!
