can i ask about the captain america bachelor's thesis and the score you got for it
hi lorelei!! you absolutely may ask me!!
it was called "Steve Rogers and Captain America aren't always the same guy": Captain America Fanfiction as a Locus of Transformation, Identity Exploration, and Reclamation (a bit wordy, i know) and it basically outlined fanfiction conceptually and went into the history of cap as a character and political symbol to then analyze trends in cap fanfiction as forum for identity politics and fan reclamation. i think we stress so many of his identity markers in fandom that are played down or straight up erased in source material (esp the mcu) and i wanted to elaborate on the possible reasons for and effects of that. it was a lot of fun.
and i got a dutch 9/10!! which translated to an american A+ on my transcript, which is a bit crazy. i was lucky to have a super lovely and supportive thesis advisor :)
i can send it to you if you're interested!

Tell me about the red dress campaign!
I got into Anastasia in 2021 :( there's barely any fandom left and even those who write fanfiction for it don't even talk about it anymore!
Tell me everything!!!
okay so. to talk about the year two marketing campaign, we need to talk about year one first.
the year one campaign focused more on the ~journey~ aspect of the show. anya wears her iconic maroon traveling coat, facing away from the audience and generally faceless, very mysterious. who is she? where is she going? what is she looking for? it inspired questions actually relevant to the themes of the show. and, as good marketing does, it gives us just enough info to capture our attention while also leaving us wanting more.
youtube
this coat is what she wears on the posters, playbill covers, everywhere on the marquee. it's the same structure that carried onto every other production's marketing strategy. and it makes sense! because she's traveling! of course she wears a traveling coat. for her Journey.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
was it a perfect strategy? no. do i get chills every time i read "rumor, legend mystery" on the marquee over our beautiful broadhurst?? absolutely.
now. year two. derek leaves in april 2018, and in may they film a new ad with the current cast.
youtube
but the whole marketing strategy completely changes as well. it now consists of basically just the Red Dress™ and digitally airbrushed christy smirking at the camera and otherwise provides very little information about what the show is actually about.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is an aside, but i feel like i should mention that when they shot and filmed this campaign, they styled christy's actual hair. she's not wearing a wig! slay!!!!! she went live that day and zadkins did a takeover on the anastasiabway account, i remember she looked absolutely stunning and was excited as she always is.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
but still. the success of your marketing strategy (or the whole show for that matter 💀) should not rest on this woman's shoulders, as lovely as she is.
so here's my beef with the Red Dress campaign: it's such a shallow interpretation of the show. even though the red dress is iconic and linda cho deserves the praise for it, i don't think it represents who anya is or what she's looking for at all. the stage version of anastasia isn't a rags to riches story, nor a princess story, not really. it's about a girl looking for who she was. home love family etc etc etc. the red dress represents a life she ultimately chose to abandon in the end! so by limiting the imagery to just this dress she wears only in the last few minutes of the show, casual audience members may interpret this show as Just Another Princess Story competing with frozen that had just opened literally across the street, and choose to not see it. which is exactly what happened.
@asecretshekept has written a lot about this and understands marketing more than i do, so feel free to browse her blog too for more detailed posts.
not to mention like,,,, the silly financial decisions behind this?? they spent so much money to replace the marquee and stage door with the faces of people who left the show like six months later?? and then they replaced the stage door AGAIN when cody arrived january 2019. so silly. they could've stuck with the generally faceless campaign of year one to avoid this issue, but. i'm not in charge.
but yeah. going from this
Tumblr media Tumblr media
to this?????

downgrade of the decade fr. booooo 1/5 stars (one star for christy) 👎

hello fellow josuke mutual!!! it honestly makes me so so so happy that there is another person on this website that thinks about josuke so so so much. that being said I offer these for the ask prompt and Josuke:
8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?
12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?
22. If you're a fic reader, what's something you like in fics when it comes to ths character? Something you don't like?
please don't feel obligated to do all of these, I just love your interpretation of Josuke and I could literally listen to your thoughts on him all day.
hi finn!!! thank u for the questions, and im really glad u like my thoughts :D
8. ughghgh a lot of things to be honest. simplifying him down to just some goofy hyper kid (esp if its just so jotaro can be pissed off from dealing with him). making jotaro hate him!!! giving him joseph’s hair and making him say joseph’s catchphrases n stuff, ESP the hair thing bc it feels like they only care abt josuke as joseph’s cute little kid whos awww just like him awww. like its such a messy relationship thats always gonna be awkward and built on pain n resentment, i dont get into cutesy happy stuff abt them.
theres less egregious stuff that just irks me bc its inaccurate, like ppl making his hair too short to form his hairdo, giving him an american pompadour instead of a japanese one, making him a popular kid, making him a cop or (ill be controversial) medical worker (im sorry i dont think he’d have the grades for it and he wouldnt b able to cope w all the death n disease he cant prevent, its fine if other ppl have the hc its just not for me.) these things aren’t the worst tho, ill prob still reblog posts with them
12. ohhh so so so many. ill list a few i cant just choose one
i think ryohei was rly into music and had a big vinyl/tape/cd collection, and his way of bonding with josuke was by putting an album on n sitting together listening to it, as he explained to josuke the meanings of songs, facts abt the band, stuff like that. which led to josuke becoming a big music fan, n getting a lot of his tastes from his grandpa. they both liked pink floyd, queen, n a bunch of classic rock, josuke’s also fond of the beatles bc of ryohei tho theyre not his favourite. when he got into his teens, jos started discovering artists on his own, and he got into michael jackson, bowie and prince, which he was really excited to be able to share with ryohei. bc he got so much of his music tastes from his grandpa, josuke is almost as defensive abt it as his hair. he wont totally snap n attack ppl over it, but he’ll get seriously pissed off if ppl shit on the music he likes
i dont have one exact track for josukes career thought out, i have like a few different AUs i switch between. in my fanpart, hes indecisive abt career options so joins SPW to escape having to choose. he feels like he has to work saving lives, bc of his stand, but its not what he really wants so he cant commit. in other stories, i think he goes straight to university. either way, i think he would study design and become a fashion designer. he can use money from joseph to help start his own label
speaking of university, i think josuke would have his gender awakening in uni. i think since his teens, he knew he was gay, and he probably dabbled in trying out makeup and dresses, tho with no connection to queer culture he felt really ashamed n kept it secret. in uni, he’d end up visiting gay bars, where he’d discover drag and eventually get into working as a drag performer. the older queens would mentor him n help him navigate his identity and accept himself. at some point he’d learn about trans people and x-gender, and i think he’d identify as x-gender. in modern terms id use bigender, she feels like both a man and a woman. because she’s transfem, but bc of how japanese gayness is rly tied to drag/crossdressing both historically n in stereotypes, her identity as a woman is inextricable from her identity as a gay man, so shes both at the same time. she starts estrogen, but ends up stopping it after graduating out of fear of being mistreated in the workplace. but when she starts her own studio, she can start hrt again
22. oooh i guess this comes down more to writing quality than anything? someone who can write characters in a complex way, without having to directly state how theyre thinking and feeling, i really prefer that. i also really really like heavy whump/angst centred around josuke’s trauma, insecurities and emotional issues, tho sadly its super uncommon n ive only found a few fics that were rly what i was looking for. and anything about how severe his final fight injuries were. i also love stuff exploring his relationships with the higashikatas and the joestars, esp family members that get less focus like holly, suzie or jolyne.
for what i dislike, i absolutely hate when ppl write jotaro as being constantly annoyed by josuke. honestly, even if josuke is being too stubborn or fucks smthn up, jotaro is so much older i think he’d be reasonable and patient with him. he knows what its like to be that angry, scared kid. and if he could praise koichi after koichi nearly got them both killed in SHA, then he sure as fuck wouldnt resent josuke. also, when ppl write josuke angst where rohan is the one comforting him, or vice versa. they would not fucking do that!!! josuke’s loved ones r right there!!!

12, 76, and 14 for the spotify wrapped :]
12- your teeth in my neck by kali uchis: not my top listened song of the year but might actually be my favorite I've listened to!!! It's so good. Sososo good. And I assigned it to my ocs concept surface creep so it doubles as a blorbo thing too!!
14- mercury by steve lacy: ALSO REALLY FUCKING GOOD I ADORE THIS SONG!!! I think it's the one that I listened to most consistently throughout the year, rather than ever having looped it a bunch at one point like most of my other top songs
76- Fresni machine girl grabbertrap mix by machine girl: machine girl was my top artist this year in general, I had their stuff on loop a LOT so while I don't have specific attachment to this song it's still a good time :]

hii jess <333 can i pls get 8, 16, 24 and 41?
hiii adi !! u may absolutely get these from this ask game
8. Do you prefer the beginning, middle, or end of a story?
i loveeee writing a beginning. my favorite part of writing a story is introducing characters and ~setting the stage~ so writing the beginning and pulling readers into the world of this story is my absolute favorite :)
16. How many fic ideas are you nurturing right now? Share one of them?
Lots and lots of them always!!! I talked a little bit about my pornstar one in another ask so for this one I’ll talk about writing center cake <3 i have a cake fic where Luke works at the writing center (like me uwu) and calum comes in desperate for help with his paper and omg soft fluffy meet-cute ensues  
24. Worst writing advice anyone ever gave you?
Oo what a good question. Im really trying to think about it. I remember my creative writing teacher in high school was really shit. She was very adamant i did not know how to write romance. But in terms of advice she gave me… i dont know, I just remember her telling me I needed to learn how to write romance because it would be so important to any book i ever tried to write
41. Do you tend to reread fics or are you a one-and-done kind of person?
Ooh i LOVE a reread!! I reread more often than I read new fics I think!! some fics are just so good

I AM JUST NOW LEARNING ABOUT YOUR DUDER BRINKLEY AND I WANT TO LEARN MORE. THEY ARE SO SO SILLY AND I LOVE THEM
Waaa thank you!! Suppose I'll lay down some factoids abt him :]
Tumblr media
Brinkley is a comedian! A totally failed one! He tried it once before and immediately tanked at open mic one after another. He took up a job as a Clown For Hire for years (which he hated) before he'd pick up the invite to snaktooth (perhaps someone to help with group Morale was in order). His hope that maybe he could try for his dream career as a comedian again, and just needed a change of scenery and some Inspiration... Brink's a very friendly fellow, and loves trying out his material on anyone who's willing to lend an ear. If he was a character in game, you'd find him around Frosted Peak trying to entertain a group of bugsnax since his last audience (the residents of Snaxburg) weren't the biggest fan of his corny puns. He and Cromdo get along better than any of them if it's not clear by all of my ship art of them, lol. Cromdo is the only one of them that genuinely thinks he's funny. He also quite likes the company of Wiggle, who have a few woes in common to talk over. Probably least liked by the Fizzlebeans, or possibly Wambus.
