Hey, soldier!

Imagine if fatui Scaramouche ever got to encounter Albedo

The parallel and contrast between them is insane—Albedo yearning for the very thing that happened to “ruin” Scaramouche’s life is *chefs kiss* (I also wanted to draw scaramouche letting everything out and crying and breaking down)

“When Mingzha died, she did not so much as look in his direction for up to a year. Nezha’s mother loves him, but it’s a strained, wretched love, one stained by the ever-lingering suspicion that the person who came back from the grotto was not really her son.”

SUEÑOS DE LIBERTAD ― Episode 171

HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS IT'S ANOTHER FULL-LENGTH ANIMATIC

In a fit of absolute insanity, I decided to crank out something for Valentine's Day. Issue being, I decided to do that a week ago.

But I am not one to be deterred so yes, my dear viewers, I PULLED THIS SHIT OFF. IN A GODDAMN WEEK.

Never again my hand hurts so bad.

Please enjoy, it truly was a labor of love and I'm so very pleased with how it turned out. I was trying to add a few video effects, like fades in and out, but Davinci was being an absolute bastard and refused to cooperate with me. So here.

Take it.

Please enjoy.

When I turned 18, I felt I was grown up. Then when I was 21, I reflected, “Boy, I was just a kid then; now I’m grown up.” The same thing happened when I was 27. It wasn’t until I was in my early 30s that I realized it was a futile goal to have. You’re never grown up. We’re all still dealing with the same hopes, same fears, same dreams that we had as children.

they are hanging ....... posters ......... in king's landing .......... asking the illiterate smallfolk .......... to come to dragonstone to claim dragons

i shall be released

I still can't believe that my art inspired this beautiful music and those words. I couldn't be more happy and grateful for this, so please take the time to give it a listen, it's really worth it 🌹✨

In their dreams, they were like constellations in the sky and each had a telescope since the day they were alive. If you could brush for fingertips that had tarnished their hearts, all you would find was that Chuuya and Dazai were rarely apart. ‘Twas not often that they would sleep like this, so safe and sound. But each could drop his guard when the other was around.

What did Andrew Lloyd Webber do to make Patti Lupone upset? Sorry, saw your tags and i was curious

Oh.

Oh honey.

You sweet child.

Anyway, get ready for one of the most infamous showdowns in all musical theatre history, with the guy who writes the straightest musicals on Broadway (derogatory) and the one and only, the matriarch, the queen, two three-time Tony award winner Patti LuPone.

So, Andrew Lloyd Webber was basically kind of a boy genius in his prime - he met his future collaborator Tim Rice when they were 17 and 20 respectively, he wrote his first big hit, Jesus Christ Superstar, at 22, with Tim Rice writing the lyrics. And it was kind of a big deal at the time because the topic was controversial (you know, the Passion with rock music), but also because Broadway wasn't that far off from its golden age and let's just say the music and style were very different from, say, My Fair Lady. Or The Sound of Music. Or Funny Girl. It was basically the Rent/Hamilton of its time. (Yeah, Stephen Sondheim was around at that time, he worked on West Side Story which was revolutionary in of itself, but he's kind of an oddball in this case. You'll understand why later.)

Their real follow up (I'm not counting Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat for a variety of reasons) was a little musical called Evita, which you might know mainly because of a song called Don't Cry For Me Argentina. Or at least, your mom has probably heard it once at the very least. It's that song that's oversung from a musical while being out of context along with I Dreamed a Dream for Les Misérables. Or Memory from Cats.

Evita tells the story of Eva Peron, the wife of an Argentinian dictator, who basically screws her way to the top and ends up becoming the mistress of Juan Peron and the most beloved woman in her country through guile and deceit. Yes, I know the historical accuracy is very much debated but I know jackshit about Argentina's history except the bare basics so don't come at me. It was first produced in the West End in London, with Elaine Paige in the role, but because of Equity issues, she couldn't reprise her role for the Broadway production. So a Julliard graduate who was mostly starring in David Mamet plays got the part instead, and that was Patti LuPone.

Patti... did not have a good time during Evita, because the part is basically the kind of score where you can tell the composer is used to writing male parts, but most female singers have a two-octave range (yes, you got Julie Andrews who used to have a three-octave range, and many others, but they're exceptions), so she struggled a lot. That being said, if you listen to live recordings of her, you wouldn't be able to tell, and it got a lot easier later on. But she had this to say:

"Evita was the worst experience of my life. I was screaming my way through a part that could only have been written by a man who hates women. And I had no support from the producers, who wanted a star performance onstage but treated me as an unknown backstage. It was like Beirut, and I fought like a banshee."

This is from Patti's autobiography, which she wrote in 2007 - 8 years after shit with ALW went down. With all that said, she won a Tony Award for Evita, and she pretty much became a musical theatre household name from then on. She played Fantine in Les Misérables, Nancy in Oliver!, Reno Sweeney in Anything Goes. Meanwhile, ALW's next big hits were Cats (I'm not even kidding, Cats was a hit), and, you guessed it, The Phantom of the Opera, which he wrote in part to showcase his then wife Sarah Brightman's triple threat talents.

So, you need to understand before I continue that ALW, from my perspective, has always had a bit of an inferiority complex. He's basically associated to writing these commercially successful musicals that show a big spectacle but aren't ultimately substantial. I'm not sure I entirely agree with that, but I do think that if he didn't have Hal Prince, Maria Bjornson, Charles Hart and Gillian Lynne backing him up for Phantom, it would have probably been a Rocky Horror Picture Show knockoff people would have forgotten about pretty quickly. This is what I mean:

Yep, that was Phantom before any of the people I mentioned above (and Michael Crawford) were really involved.

Remember how I said Stephen Sondheim was an oddball? The thing with him is that his musicals weren't always commercially successful, but in general, in part thanks to being Leonard Bernstein's protégé, he was generally pretty well-respected and it was considered that his work was bringing musicals to a whole other level. Without Sondheim, you wouldn't have Jonathan Larson, and you wouldn't have Lin-Manuel Miranda. I am convinced ALW is resentful of that, and when you stop and think about it for more than 10 seconds, it's so obvious he REALLY wants to be Sondheim or at least command the same level of respect, but that's a story for another day.

So, after Phantom, ALW had other musicals that followed that either got a meh reception or outright flopped. Then there was Sunset Boulevard, which is based on the movie of the same name with Gloria Swanson. Despite all of her griefs for Evita, Patti LuPone agreed to partake in the musical as Norma Desmond, for its production in London, with the promise that she would transfer to Broadway once that production would open. And overall, after a string of flops, Sunset was actually doing pretty well.

HOWEVER. One day, while reading the gossip column of a newspaper, Patti found out that contrary to what she was promised, Glenn Close, who was meanwhile starring as Norma in the Los Angeles production, was to play Norma on Broadway. That was a complete surprise for her since no one on the production team had bothered to tell her it was happening - and keep in mind that for the news to come up the way it did in a gossip column, it probably would have necessitated a delay of a few weeks between the producers and the newspaper, which would have given them plenty of time to break the news to Patti. And Patti kind of needed the leg up because she was pretty bitter that a) Madonna was cast in the Evita adaptation instead of her; b) they actually lowered the key to fit Madonna's voice range, and she still had to expand her own to be able to sing the (lowered) score. And trust me, Patti is mad about it to this day.

So of course, she trashed her dressing room, the cast and crew weren't even mad about it because they were as shocked and angered as she was by the news. Patti sued Andrew Lloyd Webber for breach of contract, namely for 1 MILLION DOLLARS (yup, those are the real numbers), won, used the money she got from the lawsuit to get a swimming pool, which she called (and I SHIT YOU NOT) the Andrew Lloyd Webber Memorial Pool. Since then, Webber is dead to her, to the point rumor has it she had part of a building blocked during an event so she could get out of it without coming across Webber, because she hates him so flipping much she doesn't even want to be in the same building as the guy.

(There's also drama that happened with Faye Dunaway who was supposed to replace Glenn Close after she went from Los Angeles to Broadway, except they abruptly closed the show down after Close left, but that's a story for another day)

So with all the bad press, and with ALW forced to pay 1 million dollars for Patti's lawsuit, that led Sunset's productions to close earlier than expected. ALW has stayed around since, with... mitigated output, so to say. The lowest point for a lot of people is Love Never Dies, the sequel to Phantom, which some people love, and that's fine, but it didn't do well with either critics nor fans of the original show, which ALW is EXTREMELY BUTTHURT ABOUT. And like, there are so many stories I could tell about LND alone, but I will share my own crack theory about it, since it does relate to the ask.

Anyway, buckle up.

So. There have been jokes going around for years that the Phantom in LND is basically ALW's self-insert, where he displays to the world that he's totally not over Sarah Brightman leaving him (in part because making Phantom kinda ruined their marriage lmao), despite, you know, having married since. (Aaaaaakward.) So LND basically becomes this really uncomfortable therapy session where a man writes a self-insert musical about how his ex-wife made a big mistake of leaving a sensitive artistic soul such as himself. The characters from Phantom who appear in LND are all more or less unrecognizable as a result, and one who gets it worse (in my humble opinion) is Meg Giry, who was basically Christine's sweet and loyal ballerina friend who basically went into the Phantom's lair on her own to save her friend despite the danger. In LND, she's basically a bitter hag (because ALW hates women, guess Patti was right about that), who really likes the swim and even has a stripping vaudeville number about it, written in universe by the Phantom, no less.

For comparison, here's Don Juan Triumphant (the Phantom's opera in the original):

And here's Bathing Beauty (the vaudeville number):

Yeah, so... do you see why people hate LND already?

And that's not the only thing with Meg! She's also pining for the Phantom to pay attention to her and threatens to drown the Phantom and Christine's secret love child when he makes it clear that he's gonna love Christine for EVA AND EVA.

So, with everything we learned today about ALW, would someone like him view someone like Patti LuPone as some sort of crazy, bitter diva who's obsessed with him for whatever reason? Absolutely. Would he be petty enough to insert Patti LuPone into his self-insert musical, which gave us the version of Meg Giry we got in LND? Of course. Why does Meg love to swim so much and why does she drag Gustave out ostensibly for a swim? Is it a dig at Patti's Andrew Lloyd Webber Memorial Pool? Maybe.

I kind of hope we find out one day if that theory is true. And maybe start a kickstarter so Patti can add this painting from the 2004 movie in her collection.

Fun fact: during the process of casting for the 2004 movie adaptation of POTO, ALW allegedly suggested Patti LuPone to play Carlotta... only for Joel Schumacher to have to awkwardly remind him that they were not on speaking terms. The idea was therefore promptly dropped.

Addicted To Love

Pairing: Steven Adler x m!reader

Warnings: anal, handjob, BOYS KISSING BOYS ITS GAY ITS GAY IM GAY THIS IS ME

Second Person POV:

“Oh fuck…”

Steven groaned as you took off his boxers and started started to pump his dick with your hand as you covered his neck with sloppy kisses. Steven sat on your lap with his back to your chest, his hands gripping on your forearms, one which was jerking him off and the other that was placed firmly on his thigh. He bucked his up into your hand and moaned your name as he threw his head back onto your shoulder. “Fuck baby… that feel good?” You huffed as you sank your teeth into his neck. He screamed and moaned loudly, you could have drawn blood. You sucked and bit into his neck leaving already dark purple hickeys where ever your mouth wondered. Your hips bucked up into his ass, making your clothed dick massage his hole and make him whine even more. “You want my dick as well? Hmm, you’re a dirty little boy…” you spoke lowly into his ear. Your hand that was placed on his dick now pumped slower until you stopped completely. his sighs getting deeper and heavier as he yearned for your rough touch.

“Up.” You said, tapping his ass with two fingers. He shakily lifted himself up, and you took of your boxers quickly and lining your now free dick to his ass. “Are you gonna take me just like that? Do you not want me to stretch that pretty hole of yours out first?” You spoke. He didn’t want to waste anymore time, he needed your dick in him right now. “ So needy…” You whispered in his ear, pulling one of his ass cheeks to the side and began to lower him until your tip was right on his delicious pink hole, dripping with precum. Holding his hips as your thumbs held his ass to the sides, slowly lowering his dick inch by inch onto your dick. Steven panting and huffing, biting the inside of his cheek trying not to start crying as it hurt. “You’re doing so good baby, just hold on.” You told him as you continued to stretch his extremely tight hole out. Finally you bottomed out in him, both of you panting and getting hot from the discomfort. He writhed and whined, making you two grind against each-other, easing the discomfort into pleasure. Steven hips bucked but you pulled him back down onto you. Hitting the right spot. “Ah- fuck.” He moaned as you thrusted another thrust into him, hitting his spot again. Yours hands went back to their original position, one wrapped around his dick and the other holding down on his upper thigh. Slowly pumping his dick before quickly going back to your harsh pace as you grind against his ass. You groaned harshly, attacking his neck once more. Praising and degrading your sweet boy while he moaned your name, moving his hips to bounce up and down your dick whilst he fucked your hand.

His tight ass always left your dick weak. Easily cumming after a few harsh thrusts. You bit your bottom lip hard, breathing heavily, your hand now squeezing around your boyfriends dick. Making him moan out louder whilst you roughly went up his dick with your hand. “Mmm, god, I’m gonna cum in you.” You tried too hush your moans and grunts as your were reaching your end. Steven was much louder at announcing his climax. “Fuck- fuck- fuck…” he whined. “Im gonna cum- fuck. Fuck. Oh god-…” He finished, his cum spitting out of his tip and some of it beginning to run down your hand as you still gripped onto his pulsing dick. You were close next as you shot up into his ass. A small whimper leaving your mouth from your climax but your muffled it as you placed your mouth on his neck again. Steven whimpered as well, even more lust burning through him as he felt your warmly finish in him.

“My sweet boy.” You whispered a loving sentiment in his ear

EXCUSE ME I'M GONNA BURST

i’m watching mamma mia and ofc i’m thinking of it in a steddie lens (bc im still rotted in the brain abt them)

i’m thinking of single dad steve (to max? maybe?) who not long after his daughter was born, he and his wife go to meet his ailing grandmother on the little island in greece and when his wife finds out his grandmother isn’t leaving him anything more than the rundown little hotel and not a large inheritance she’d assumed steve’s family had originally got their wealth from, she leaves. just gets tf out and is like “i never wanted any of this anyway” type thing

steve wanted to stay, she wanted no part of it, so he and his daughter are for all intents and purposes alone on the island. his parents are pissed his more than likely fully arranged marriage is over, they send him access to his trust and just ✌️😗

so he does the damn thing; he fixes up the place after his grandma is gone (taking out a BIG chunk of his trust to do so when all is said and done), makes what’s left of his parents’ money stretch as long as he can, and now 20 years later his daughter is getting married!!

while going through steve’s stuff, his daughter finds a journal of his from when he was younger, would visit his grandma on the little island more often.

she reads about his flings with tourists, traveling college students like himself, etc., and realizing kinda all at once all the things he went through to raise her and keep the hotel running, she decides to write to the three most prominent ones in the book, inviting them back to the little island.

dealers choice of the other two, but ofc one is eddie (maybe the other two are billy and tommy?), the one dalliance steve thought he loved, but she didn’t read far enough to know the shit all three pulled before inviting them back, etc etc.

all three have mellowed out with age, using the invite as a reason to come and apologize or shoot their shot again, but what his daughter thought would be a nice surprise for her dad has gone all cattywampus and has to find a way to fix it before her dad or her auntie robin or auntie chrissy kill the three men dead for the shit they pulled

This is fucking shameful. He was having a “bad day.”? Fuck that racist piece of shit that killed those people, and fuck that racist cop that read out that absurd statement. 

It was blatant attack on the Asian community.  blatant. And if you deny that you’re part of the fucking problem and you are disgusting.

I’m a very small account but I still should talk about it. And bring awareness to it.
