THE HARBINGER.

the harbingers have been through fire. you’ve got the scars to show for it. some people say harbingers are jaded — scary, even, to people who don’t understand that the harbinger has seen the edge of the world and survived it. but being the harbinger means you’re cursed to watch younger, brighter eyes fall for the same traps you did. trying to help isn’t enough for you; you know what they’re getting themselves into, and you want to protect them the way no one ever protected you, so why won’t they just listen? it’s frustrating. it’s terrifying. no one should have to live through what you did, and i hope you know that you can’t protect everyone but it’s damn noble of you to try. it’s not your job to save the world but i hope you know you’ve already made a difference to everyone who has taken your words to heart.

THE ONE WHO OPENED THE DOOR.

you turn the door handle. you call out, who’s there? and the crowd has the audacity to groan, to get frustrated with you. as if the gift of hindsight was something you had. how the hell were you supposed to know you were born into a horror movie? no one bothered to tell you. say, if instead this was an action film, or a fantasy, would they still be telling you how silly of a mistake it was to press further on your quest? they would’ve commended you for your bravery. you thought you were going to be saving a princess in a tower, not getting stabbed in the back by a killer in the shadows. how is that fair? it isn’t, and none of that was ever your fault. it is not wrong to believe things are good. your trust, your optimism, it shouldn’t ever be mistaken for ignorance or stupidity. we need more people to open doors. how else are any of us gonna move forward?

FRANKENSTEIN’S MONSTER.

this plight is the simplest of them all: you did not ask for this. you were never given a choice. no part of yourself feels human, just a collection of traits you've picked up from mirroring anyone you could, even the people you meet through a television screen. it's alienating to live that way — yet someone has called you the alienating one. maybe too many people to count. maybe they treated you so uncomfortably inhuman that it's all you can understand now, or you've dug yourself into such a deep hole in an attempt to keep safe that you can't remember a person living in the home of your body at all. being alive is confusing and painful and lonely and loud but living is all there is to being human- you're already there. just take air into your lungs and breathe. close your eyes and picture a beautiful sky. you made that. you painted that yourself.

#amara giving this monologue after she once again walks the crew into a situation #also howling @ lyra's. #'you've already made a difference to those who have taken your words to heart :)' (screams from the bunker) #oc: lyra fairbanks #oc: amara of vallaki #oc: isabela fairbanks #tag memes #also not to be a hater but what the fuck were some of those answers lmao. #like why do you HAVE to be apologetic if you answer yes i'm beautiful. #why do you HAVE to have a caveat if you say you're happy. #i know it's meant to be for a tragique~~ trope but come the fuck on lmao aren't we past this #(this was v fun tho <3)

[moistvonlipwig]

can i do the same thing to you i did to sssammich and upend all the -corps on your desk or is that too greedy 🥴

looping in @yourlocalegotisticalqueerishere since it's easier to do these all in one post ! alphabetical order for funsies under the cut:

agentcorp - no...idk what to say really except the vibes are off for me. sorry chyler </3 i know you wanted to kiss katie so bad. i think alex and lena have similarities & differences (just like every character does with every other character lol) but i personally feel like their specific similarities & differences would cause them to either enable each other's worst aspects or to butt heads constantly. just my onion i know many people disagree and that's fine. also the triple hit of alex trying to nuke lena and justifying it by twisting all her previous good deeds to make them sound bad, lying about it to her face while asking for her help, and then not advocating for her to get her memories back and even encouraging kara to deceive her once again all in quick succession in s5 -- all of which got swept under the rug in s6 -- really soured me on the friendship s4 had built up between them. so i'm not even really a fan of their friendship. tragique :(

braincorp - they are my brotp <333 i don't ship them romantically at all but actually their relationship is probably my favorite relationship on the show period. it helps that they are my 2 fave characters lol but also they are so smart and so bitchy together and i love them <333 brainy is so ride or die for lena even when she gives him literally the worst advice anyone has ever given anyone else in the history of the world and lena feels safe with brainy to express how she really feels and they are kindred spirits. also the parallel to the comics dynamic between brainiac & lex luthor [which should've made it to the show!!! where was the original brainiac???] is poetic. braincorp 4 life !!!

dreamcorp - again i don't ship them at all but it's so bonkers that developing this relationship wasn't more of a priority for the writers. little sisters with asshole siblings who blame themselves for their mother's deaths (and also have magic powers i guess thanks s6 🥴)...the scenes write themselves! or so you would think. i liked that they had some rapport in s6 but also ngl it cracked me up in 6x07 when nia called lena "family" i was like girl this is your first onscreen conversation ever 😭 you are colleagues at best...oh well. i like the idea of them becoming found family though. i don't see the superfriends as a found family (they are actually this cool thing called 'friends' instead) but nia & lena specifically i think could come to lean on each other in a sisterly way.

guardiancorp - so as i've mentioned part of what really piqued my interest in guardiancorp was the reveal that james had 16 scars from lex yet he was able to look past that to see lena for who she was not just as lex's little sister. james as clark's best friend and lena as lex's sister are kind of inherently tied together by the superman/lex drama and i'm interested in how they can work through that to love each other anyway. one thing i find interesting about them is that they are deeply different in ways that could set them at odds -- lena is a luthor, james is team super; lena is a white woman, james is a black man; lena is morally flexible, james is much more morally steadfast/rigid -- yet they are able to find solidarity and common ground with each other despite those things and have each other's backs. a lot of people like to point to the scene where lena & james are completely out of sync at game night as evidence that they were never really right for each other, but the thing i always remember is that lena wanted to practice with him afterwards. she wanted to put in the work. that's actually very romantic to me. another thing i like is how protective they are of each other; morgan edge might call james lena's bodyguard and james might take a bullet for her and dangle morgan edge off a building for her but lena is also HIS bodyguard who would make deals with the DA for him and poison her mother for him. they're each other's guardians. also they are capable of being so powerful and bitchy together like when they went to confront morgan edge in 3x09 that was sooo funny and iconic. i do wish the show built them up better and let us see their friendship properly develop in 3a instead of having them flirt in a couple scenes and then not interact for 4 episodes and then have kara & sam hamfistedly tell us they have chemistry. if i were writing season 3 i would give them a slower build and probably not have them kiss until the balcony scene in 3x17. but oh well. if wishes were horses i would have lots of horses. i wouldn't even know what to do with all those horses. so it's a good thing wishes aren't horses, if you think about it.

kellycorp / goldencorp (that's the name i just came up with now that i am advocating for) - i quite like this idea because it's a kelly ship i can actually get invested in. hooray <3 i think kelly would be good for lena and, crucially, i think lena would be good for kelly. they both are more 'outsiders' to the superfriends than the other members are, as evinced by the two of them being the last to know supergirl's identity, and i think they could bond over that. i could see kelly feeling comfortable being displeased/angry with lena in a way she maybe doesn't with the other superfriends, while also holding space for lena's emotions in a way Certain Other People Who Shall Remain Nameless aren't always very good at. and i could also see lena really enjoying spoiling kelly with her wealth and kelly being kind of into it. also the fact that the showrunners seemed weirdly allergic to putting azie and katie into scenes together, meanwhile azie and katie were supposedly constantly flirting on set and working overtime to try and sneak goldencorp crumbs into the background, suggests to me that their chemistry was so palpable and powerful that TPTB were scared of letting them loose lest the fandom descend even further into ship wars. ...ok that last part is just a silly little conspiracy theory that i made up so please don't repeat it as fact or even as plausible speculation but also why Did the showrunners keep them apart so much 🤔 makes you think !

mirrorcorp [mirrorverse iris/lena aka a ship i invented] - so if you've never seen the flash you are probably thinking: who is mirrorverse iris??? i'm so glad you asked. mirrorverse iris is a clone of iris from the mirror realm which is NOT an 'evil universe' a la star trek, it is instead a world literally inside mirrors. mirrorverse iris was essentially created by mirror monarch (don't ask) for the purpose of infiltrating the normal world. she spends an arc impersonating the real iris and is similar in some ways but is also angrier, more ruthless, and more impulsive. in her last episode she figures out that she wants to be her own person and live life on her own terms not mirror monarch's and she defies mirror monarch during a fight with barry and then she dies. don't like that she died i wish she'd stuck around she was an epic character. but anyway this arc takes place in season 6b of the flash which you guessed it coincides with season 5b of supergirl. so my pitch is that instead of teaming up with lex to continue project nonsense lena goes on a sojourn to central city and meets mirrorverse iris who is impersonating real iris and undergoing an existential crisis/crisis of conscience. and the two bond and become friends. and then mirrorverse iris doesn't die and she and lena have to figure out who they want to be for themselves not just for the people who created them or tried to mold them in their image. and then they kiss about it idk just saying it could be good!

nationalcitydistrictattorneycorp - i mean. you've seen the scene. possibly the most sexually charged scene in the entire show. unclear to me why both actresses decided to play it that way but ok queens !

peggycorp - not my thing but i respect the warriors 👍

reigncorp - sam is imo the best & healthiest friend lena could ask for -- actually the best & healthiest friend anyone on this show could ask for -- but i don't really think their relationship is improved or made more interesting by them dating. i do think they have hooked up in the past and they decided they were better off as friends.

rojascorp - i'm not a rojascorp shipper actually but i believe in their beliefs...andrea and lena definitely dated, i see them as exes who still have affection for each other & sexual tension, i'm just not interested in the idea of them getting back together. if anything i actually worry that andrea might be too deferential to lena? i think she sees herself as deeply indebted to lena and -- whether you're looking at the pre-crisis more interesting timeline where she directly has blood on her hands or the post-crisis less interesting timeline where she tried to kill supergirl & accidentally put william in the line of fire -- i think she has a lot of guilt and she views lena as a moral authority in contrast to her morally 'tarnished' view of herself. which is interesting & juicy because most characters don't view lena that way. but i don't know that it's a great dynamic for a romance.

spheercorp - jack is sweet and rahul kohli is pretty. here endeth my thoughts on spheercorp. ...ok i guess i can say a little more which is that like rojascorp i prefer them as exes/bffs to them getting back together. i also will say that, while i think jack's death contributed to a disturbing trend on the show of killing off south asian characters, i do actually rather like it as a character beat for lena. i enjoy seeing him pop up in fics but in the show itself i think him dying is kind of a better story. sorry jacky :(

supercorp - i mean i think the premise alone is kind of epic and awesome. a super and a luthor but they're in love. like that's just plain cool. plus think of the awkward family dinners! i am always here for ships that will generate awkward family dinners. i also think they have a lot of great comedy scenes together which is always a plus to me shipping-wise, i like ships with a comedic bent. but there's also a lot of juicy drama/tragedy/gay divorce with them too which is also good of course. as a big fan of dramatic irony i like the secret/reveal as a storytelling device i just wish they handled it better post-5x01 (i think 4x22 and 5x01 actually kind of nailed it ngl). i like that they both used each other's kryptonite on the other person and yet they were able to forgive that and love the other person anyway. i mean the actual in-show process of forgiveness was wack but the idea is spicy. and i like that, as kara herself (clunkily) put it in the finale, they really do challenge each other and push each other to be better. as i've mentioned before theirs is a relationship where actions have consequences and where every scene they have matters and affects later scenes, which is unlike.....well, most relationships on the show, frankly. i also tend to think their scenes are just generally better-written and have more subtext (and i'm not just talking about the gay kind) and interesting things going on in them than most of the rest of the show's scenes. for all my many gripes about how s5 & s6 handled their fallout and then kind of just papered over it with platitudes, i still think their relationship is one of the best parts of the show and it's still the major thing that keeps me on the hook.

[boy-above]

What r ur ocs like!

OHHHHH boy the problem with my ocs is that the story i have for them is really big and unnecessarily complicated so it makes it hard to talk about them rip. ive actually been planning on trying to update their designs (since i haven't drawn most of them in years) and explain the story more yknow. i actually do have recent drawings of my two favorite ocs that i haven't shared yet though so i suppose now is the time to do it

this is wyatt! he is definitely my favorite oc. he's 25, saudi, and a cis gnc gay man. he's 5'2 and is incredibly cute. he's the epitome of the >:3 face and can be mean at times, but is very soft with his boyfriend. he has a tragique past with an abusive father and has some pretty gnarly ptsd. he died once (he's okay now though) by drowning so he's afraid of water. he can see dead people which is fun. his role in the story is a bit of reverse grim reaper, he has the power to bring people back to life, although maintains the reaper aesthetic. he has a big knife and if he pierces a dead person they'll be revived, but if it pierces a living person they'll dissolve into dust and not even their spirit remains. he has powers like being able to float, go through walls, teleport short distances etc. some danny phantom shit.

this is hayden, wyatt's boyfriend. he's a gay trans man, 26 years old, 6'0, indian. he's an engineer and kind of a genius, taught himself calculus kinda shit. he has electric-adjacent powers (purple lightning!) and his role is that of an electrical engineer, performing maintenance on the power structures to keep everyone's powers working. he's also an inventor and has a steampunk-esque workshop where he builds a bunch of cool shit. he used to have an identical twin sister but she kiiiinda died when they were 14 and he has conflicting feelings about it because she wasn't exactly the best person to him. everyone in this story can shapeshift (albeit slowly over time) so he had a nice easy time transitioning. he lifts weight to cope with depression (and so he can pick up his boyfriend, the most importantest reason)

he and wyatt met when they were 15 and 16 and theyre very much in love. maybe a little codependent but shhhhh it's okay the environment they're in kinda calls for it. when wyatt was young he would see the fairytales where a princess would be rescued by a knight or prince and he wished one would save him from his abuse as well (alongside wishing that boys could be princesses, his journey from growing up in an extremely toxically (is that a word even??) house to accepting that he's allowed to like boys and be feminine was a hard one) and hayden was kinda like that dream come true! it was also fun bc hayden was able to give wyatt all his girl stuff from before he transitioned to give it a spin. hayden also really enjoys having a boyfriend thats smaller and daintier than him, makes him feel more masculine. over all they are incredibly in love and i'm obsessed with them and they occupy my thoughts a lot. i'm so sad bc i don't have a recent drawing of them, the last finished drawing i have of them together is from 2019 wtf 😭

What’s something you learned about yourself as a writer?

it has taken me forever to answer this but I think one thing I've learned is that I'm better at dialogue than I thought I was? Because irl I have a hard time reading people especially in real time conversations and I think the way I personally speak can be very disjointed and grating. So dialogue is something that I have to try hard at. And I think with characters like Lestat or Armand there's a lot more wiggle room in terms of what I can get away with; both are further removed from humanity and Lestat especially is sort of this larger than life character you can justify sentences with him that you wouldnt buy with others. Like he drops references to his tragique past like normal sayings 😭. But then you have characters like Claudia or Louis who I feel so much more pressure when writing their dialogue bc it's a lot more grounded to me... and I gotta try real hard to keep some level of that grounding. With Louis especially I also have always interpreted him code switching in Dubai when talking to Daniel and bits of how he usually speaks slipping through so it's like figuring out ok where does the performance break a little? Where does it break a lot? And HOW to portray that. And how far to take it. Stuff like that.

Je pensais à la fin de la route des lions dans FE3WH au début je pensais qu'ils voulaient créer quelque chose de similaire à la fin de la route des lions dans FE3H. Mais au final, je me demande si cette fin n'avait pas une autre signification qui est de laisser le passé derrière lui. Dimitri dans Warriors bien que plus calme est quelqu'un qui vit dans le passé, les voix qu'il entend dans sa tête sont toujours présentes dans le soutien de Felix. Mais dans cette route, il finit peu à peu de se libérer de son passé pour se focaliser sur le présent. Or El symbolise son passé, son lien était l'un des seuls bons souvenirs qu'il avait. Et maintenant la personne qu'il tenait tant a déclaré la guerre à l'église de Seiros. Et Dimitri qui est le roi a un peu le cul entre deux chaises et peut pas se détacher de l'église de Seiros sans pour autant provoquer de futurs conflits avec le peuple. En laissant Edelgard, il laisse derrière lui son passé et en sortant de l'église. On voit ses amis mais aussi Rhéa qui eux symbolisent le présent. Alors oui c'est cruel et injuste pour El mais toutes les histoires n'ont pas une bonne fin perso et avec celle ci, je trouve l'histoire plus tragique et cruelle qu'elle en a l'air avec cette interprétation.

I was thinking about the end of the lions run in FE3WH at first I thought they wanted to create something similar to the end of the lions run in FE3H. However, I wonder if this ending didn't have another meaning, which is to leave the past behind. Dimitri in Warriors, though calmer, is someone who lives in the past, the voices he hears in his head are still present in Felix's support. But throught the story, he gradually frees himself from his past to focus on the present. However, Edelgard symbolizes his past, his bond with her was one of the only good memories he had. And now the person he held so dear has declared war against the Church of Seiros. And Dimitri, who is the king, has a bit of an ass between two chairs and can't detach himself from the church of Seiros without provoking future conflicts with the people. By leaving Edeglard behind, he leaves his past behind and by exiting the church. We see his friends, but also Rhea, who symbolize the present. So, yes, it's cruel and unfair for her, but not every story has a good ending, and with this one, I find the story more tragic and cruel than it seems with this interpretation.

I've been thinking a lot about Lady Cobra, Urbosa's morality swap verse, a lot. Part of that is admittedly aesthetic because she's one of my favorite villain types - I love charismatic, vain bastards who have been given far too much power, and she has a tragique backstory to boot. The other part is I've finally been prompted about how she would act in a post calamity AoC type verse, which is frankly where she gets interesting. For those who are curious, the  basic outline of that verse is Urbosa's existing worst impulses towards personal vanity, selfishness, and powerlust (as well as the regular kind of lust) grows unchecked. The death of the Queen  in this one causes her to absolutely lose her mind, given that the late Zelda was one of the few people capable of holding her back, and seeing Rhoam try to govern in her absence assures her that the Calamity cannot be subverted by his means.

The thing is, she still cooperates with the other champions (Albeit just barely) to make sure there is a world to steal at the end of this ordeal, so if the world survives in an Age of Calamity style verse, that's when she really gets to shine. She puts a lot of pressure on Hyrule for her nation's contributions to the cause and, failing that, engaged in economic warfare by denying supplies to the rebuilding Hyrule. She also tried to split up the provinces by offering them aid on the basis of disobeying the princess. She's a very deception-based villain with the knowledge that she can back up anything with her own physical strength.

The Gerudo are worse off under her reign than her standard verses, but they're not doing poorly. They're objectively rich, but most of them are extremely paranoid, as disloyalty is harshly punished. There are more than a few guards and advisors walking around with lightning scars. Essentially she's the smooth talking, fast-to anger villain I used to write a lot of. I may have mostly left the trope in the past, but it's a lot of fun to indulge every now and again.

For the record, I think that verse ends in her being deposed in functionally every instance of it, either by outside forces or her own daughter, but hey, we have fun here.

Dans l'ombre d'un manoir prestigieux, Une famille jadis fière et heureuse, Mais le destin les égare, perfide et vicieux, Révélant une chute, funeste et douloureuse. Ellenwell, la grand-mère aux yeux ternes, Engloutie dans les eaux sombres du lac, Son dernier souffle, un adieu taciturne, Le manoir gémit, plongé dans l'effroi qu'il traque. Cedonia, tante tourmentée et perdue, Emportée par les flots, sans rémission, Le chagrin s'épanche, l'âme suspendue, La famille s'enlise dans l'abîme de la déraison. Draigh, tel un monstre assoiffé de sang, L'ex-mari d'Ellenwell, sans pitié ni remords, Dirige la famille d'une main malfaisante, Le manoir devient un repaire ténébreux, le sort. La troisième génération émerge en vain, Les tragique héros ? Faith, Killian, Moira et Orion, Leur présence amplifie l'amer refrain, Condamnés à porter le fardeau de leur union. Faith, porteuse de douleur et de peine, S'enlise dans les ténèbres, en proie à la souffrance, L'amour étouffé, la liberté incertaine, Elle erre dans l'ombre, brisée par la vengeance. Killian, la rage qui consume son être, Un guerrier solitaire, perdu dans la nuit, Il brise les chaînes, mais au fond renaît, Une solitude profonde, une fin sans répit. Moira, la muse des mélancolies profondes, Ses chants portent l'écho de la tristesse éternelle, Elle révèle la fêlure des âmes, des frondes, Mais dans son chant funèbre, l'espoir chancelle. Orion, gardien solitaire des débris d'une lignée, Les étoiles pleurent leur triste destinée, La folie les consume, les enfonce dans la tourmente, La mort est leur compagne, l'issue inéluctable, hantée. Ainsi, la troisième génération se consume, Dans l'amertume d'une destinée cruelle, Sauvant la famille, mais à quel prix ? L'amertume, Leur héritage est la ruine, la douleur éternelle. Au-delà des murs lugubres du manoir dévasté, La famille agonise, rongée par le poison, Les rancœurs les dévorent, sans pitié ni bonté, Dans cette danse funeste, ils perdent toute raison. Le destin les condamne à une fin tragique, Dans les bras froids de la mort, ils s'abandonnent, Les regrets éternels, la douleur chronique, Une famille maudite, où les larmes se répondent. Ainsi s'achève leur histoire, dans un chant funèbre, Le manoir silencieux garde leurs secrets enfouis, Les générations perdues, la mort comme seul repère, La famille prestigieuse sombre, oubliée dans l'obscurci.

In the realm of shadows and twisted minds, where darkness weaves its intricate tapestry, a profound truth echoes through the corridors of time: monsters aren't born, they're created. They transcend mere flesh and bone, emerging from the depths of our fears, woven together by the threads of anguish and despair. Within the depths of human consciousness, where the boundaries between reality and nightmare blur, the seeds of monstrosity take root. They are nurtured by the scars of past traumas, by the malicious whispers that seep into the crevices of vulnerable souls. Each monster is a product of circumstance, a testament to the power of cruelty and the depths of human depravity. Their origins vary, for the path to monstrosity is labyrinthine and treacherous. Some are forged through a relentless torrent of violence, their innocence stripped away by a world that has shown them no mercy. Others are born from the ashes of betrayal, their hearts shattered and twisted by the hands they once held dear. And yet, there are those who succumb to their own inner demons, their desires morphing into grotesque forms that consume them from within. But amidst the darkness, hope fades into a mere whisper, drowned out by the ever-growing cacophony of malevolence. For if monsters can be created, their presence lingers as a haunting reminder of humanity's capacity for cruelty. Their existence is a chilling testament to the depths of depravity that lie within us all, lurking in the shadows, waiting to be unleashed. In this ceaseless battle between light and darkness, the scales tip inexorably towards despair. The machinery that spawns monsters continues its relentless churn, fueled by a world rife with indifference and apathy. Empathy withers, consumed by the harsh realities of a desensitized society. Love becomes a distant memory, eclipsed by the insatiable hunger for power and dominance. No redemption awaits the monstrous souls that walk among us, for they are forever trapped within their twisted shells. The fragile humanity they once possessed erodes, leaving behind only a grotesque parody of what once was. The monstrous path they tread is one of no return, leading only to the abyss of eternal damnation. So let us not deceive ourselves with false illusions of salvation, for the darkness has claimed its victory. The monsters, born from our own sins and nurtured by our collective indifference, roam freely, a reminder of the irrevocable damage we have wrought upon ourselves.

Instead, his "French English" contributes an example along the continuum of English, both then and now. If 'Hamlet' is a translational act, then Shakespeare’s "Englishness" can be somewhat decentralised. Furthermore, the Renaissance printing industry is testament to the ways in which dialectical aspects of English were not limited to Shakespeare’s work. English worked – and perhaps still works – as a language between languages “based on a system of double derivation…at once Germanic and Romance” (George Watson, ‘Shakespeare and the Norman Conquest’, 617). In light of Ardis Butterfield’s extensive work on Chaucer’s multiple vernaculars, this paper conceptualises Shakespeare’s English as a French dialect of the language. Only a hundred or so years earlier, Anglo-Norman was still a widely-spoken dialect on English soil. Putting aside any questions about an ‘ur-Hamlet’, the Shakespearean "translation" of this tale exists in multiple iterations that appear to respond to a second francophone source: the 'Essais' of Michel de Montaigne. This is most likely to have reached Shakespeare via a French translation of a Latin collection of tales by a Danish academic: 'Les Histoires Tragiques' by François de Belleforest. Beneath the question of this play’s three texts and their chronology is a question of origin, which is made more interesting in light of the play’s narrative source, the Amleth myth. This paper considers Shakespeare’s use of non-Anglophone sources and dialect within 'Hamlet'. Presented as part of 'Playing With Source Materials: Alterations and Shakespeare's Creative Fabric' at the NeMLA 'Global Spaces, Local Landscapes, and Imagined Worlds' conference, Omni William Penn Hotel, Pittsburgh, PA, April 12, 2018.

Tickets are $20 in advance on or at the door. “Calliope Rose” is “an edgy, conceptual work suggesting that our civilization cannot survive a total rupture from its past,” according to Hugh Hunter of the Philadelphia Inquirer (review: July 2018), while Mary Crawford of Exit Zero said this of the play (review: July 2018), “Sterritt’s witty dialogue starkly illuminates the conflict between the ancient ideals of beauty and honor versus the grubby materialism of the modern day.” In 2018, the show was mounted at the Cape May Airport during the Cape May Fringe Festival. It was a semi-finalist at the Sundance Institute’s Playlabs. Sterritt will also make a cameo appearance in this production. The ending is left open to interpretation on purpose – we want to make you think.”Īctors Cheney, Brandford-Altsher, and Polgar have been seen in recent SPQR productions at Studio Space such as “Derby Day,” “Magic Flowers,” and a weekend of original one-acts. “There’s a love triangle, a little mystery, some laughs … but best of all, the play is unlike anything else you’ll see here in South Jersey. “’Calliope Rose’ has something for everyone,” said Sterritt. Both mom and daughter are smitten by the handsome man, and the makings of an authentic Greek comedy ensue. “Calliope Rose” is about an eccentric mother, Rose, played by Strathmere’s Ruthellen Cheney, who wishes for her daughter Athena, portrayed by Evie Brandford-Altsher, to adopt the “Greek ideal.” As mom waxes poetic and daughter schemes to turn a lighthouse into a money-making tourist trap, a ship suspiciously sinks nearby causing Dexter, a government official played by Dave Polgar, to investigate. Shows will take place at Studio Space in Somers Point on Aug. “Calliope Rose,” the mythological mystery comedy by Cape May playwright Bill Sterritt, will return to South Jersey for four weekends in August.

so many hk fans get really really excited about portraying the dream-nightmare realm split as this epic miltonesque paradise lost tragedy complete with pyrotechnics dramatic lighting and a sweeping orchestral score that i cant help but think it would be hilarious if grimm Lets people assume thats how it happened because it adds to his Mystique

but really it was just something completely mundane and drama-free like grimm and radi wanting their own rooms instead of having to keep sharing forever even as their aesthetics/hobbies grow further and further apart

#somewhere around grimms dedicated 00s emo band/cat memes phase and radi getting way 2 invested in competitive marching band #only having one (1) domain began to feel incredibly claustrophobic for both of them #u know that sort of awkward college dorm phase where u love & support your roommate but his headphones r shitty & hes blasting #good charlotte at 4 in the morning when ur trying to sleep #or when u just wanna turn your room into an insane clown posse/cirque du soleil shrine but ur roomies side is all sunshine n glitter #and like u respect her interests but its kinda harshing ur groove and its hard for either of u to bring friends over #so they get their own rooms (by which i mean realms) and they can stretch out and do whatever they want and theyre both Living #theyre less close than whatever fargone era it was that they were both adorable caterpillars but theyre still absolutely on speaking terms #radi gently lets grimm know hes giving her bad press by letting the rumors grow and theres unspoken knowledge that she has lots and lots #of potential blackmail material to embarrass him with from a shared childhood (as he has on her) but thats literally the tensest it gets #in grimms mind sneaking into hallownest to eat its nightmares for snackums behind radis back is akin to helping urself to a lil of #ur roomies snacks in the shared fridge under the assumption they Probably wont find out or care #hollow knight #this isnt supposed to be a dunk on grimm frickers who want his past to be... Tragique you do you i just think this is funny #manic pixie nightmare juggalo #bad and naughty catholics go in the catholic wiggler

One of things that I really hate about the current way of talking about ‘gay representation’ is that it encourages no actual intellectual or artistic engagement with stories--it’s just about remembering something is ‘bad’ and then being like ‘oh the bad thing is there thereby i am now allowed to complain about it’.

I cannot tell you how fucking enraging it is to read terminally online people talking about le portrait de la jeune fille en feu as like “another period white lesbians movie where they don’t end up together when they totally could have”. Céline Sciamma was very clear that her aim was to explore how the memory of a past love lives with you. The constant discussion of one of the most well-known myth of separated lovers should have clued in a few people that this was very intentional, or the way it’s all brought together in the ending scene. Sciamma said: “Dans le film, les moments de bascules ou de sidérations amoureuses sont des moments de pensées. On aime et on pense ensemble. C’est pour moi un plaisir de cinéma et même, une politique de l’amour, une ambition. Le film a vraiment envie d’observer un amour qui naît, qui s’exprime, qui vit, mais aussi le souvenir d’un amour, puisque le film est au passé [le film est construit comme un flashback : à partir d’un tableau retrouvé évoquant l’amour vécu entre Marianne et Héloïse, on replonge dans leur amour passé. La dialectique de ces deux temporalités nous propose une philosophie : quelles traces l’amour nous laisse-t-il ? Que s’apporte-t-on intellectuellement ? Il faut sortir des questions d’amour heureux ou de tragique et regarder les amours vécus, leur grande résonance, les modifications qui se font en nous. Comment se fait la promesse de nos curiosités futures pour d’autres personnes, pour la beauté, pour l’art, pour la musique ? Comment les amours sont matricielles ? Mes plus grandes émotions de cinéma sont souvent celles-ci ; des amours comme émancipatrices.”

Moreover the cause of their separation is not so much homophobia than it is a commentary on the lack of agency women face(d), the way a dead fiancée can just be replaced by her sister so long as her appearance passes the inspection--something again that is explored in the concept of the gaze and the ‘subject’. The actress herself said in an interview “le mode de résistance que choisi Héloïse dans le film c’est un mode d’absence : « je fais tout ce qu’on me demande en tant qu’objet mais vous ne saurez jamais qui je suis. Il y aura toujours chez vous une sorte de stress à vous demander : il y a peut-être quelqu’un qui se cache derrière cet objet. »“

So you get a film made by a feminist lesbian who has made a career of exploring the experiences of queer women, which on top of just being an extremely well-crafted film, explores the emancipatory power of love between two women and interrogates art and the creative process and the “gaze” both in the personal and political, and you go 🙄 uh this is bad gay representation because they don’t end up together and it’s a period movie. Honestly embarrassing.
