oh god relisten to it with this in mind and good god, you will cry.
Mummified my teenage dreams
No it’s nothing wrong with me
The kids are all wrong,
The story’s all off
Heavy metal broke my heart
or how about
We’ve been here forever
And here’s the frozen proof
I could scream forever
We are the poisoned youth
And the fact that this song was used as an NFL anthem and was probably ingrained in the heads of a bunch of transphobic assholes without them knowing has me LIVING!!!!
a take too hot for tumblr: people in prison are still entitled to basic human rights. they’re still entitled to being properly fed and given access to clean water, given access to healthcare, being in an environment where they are not at risk of being abused either by fellow prisoners or by prison staff, and otherwise being treated humanely—this includes ALL prisoners: ones who are innocent of what they’re in prison for, ones who are in prison for very minor victimless crimes, and ones who are genuinely guilty of the worst crimes imaginable.
and if you’re like “they don’t deserve that”, it isn’t about what they ‘deserve’ – it’s about how we as a society choose to treat people, making the decision that no one deserves to be treated as less than human no matter who they are or what they’ve done, and standing up against abusive justice systems and the abusive prison industrial complex in their entirety.
we need more universal musical theatre memes. i felt the need to propose some
•every time there’s a picture of nic rouleau just pretending he’s a really important member of the mormon church (ie: “this is a picture of Brigham Young, one of the og mormons”; or “meet Thomas Monson: the president of the mormon church”)
•never saying lin’s name. just replace it with He, Him, His, etc. lin is god.
•any musical that closed is now required to be bleeped out (gr**t c*m*t, etc)
•every year on march 21st (the first day of spring) everyone forgets that any musical except spring awakening exists
•this isn’t new but yall have gotta keep up with the “this is not amelie” bootleg names. fantastic. 10/10
•whenever people are partying describe it like “they’re behaving like they’re at the ballet”
•whenever someone is asking how to pronounce something/is pronouncing it wrong just go “actually it’s pronounced barFAY”
•whenever something confusing is happening be like “welcome to the rock”
•sentences in the style of “elsa from frozen? no, she’s maureen from rent” to describe people
•pretending jeremy jordan is an actual dog
•photoshopping christian borle’s face onto everything because he’s been in literally every show
•saying “hey guys who’s down to write a(n) ___ musical with me” except the ___ is replaced by something that should NOT be made into a musical (ie: “hey guys whos down to write a “the old man and the sea” musical with me)
•ben platt is an alien. we have no idea where he came from. he just showed up on earth today and decided to bless us with his presence and voice. you are now a secret agent whose task is to figure out where he came from and if there are more of these blessed beings
please feel free to add more. we need these in the broadway fandom
I have personally never heard cajeta but I can definitely believe it. The rest are 100% accurate.
EDIT: oh wait I do know “jeta” is slang for pussy, I wonder if that’s a shortening of “cajeta”
And also “pendejo” is sometimes used as a minor insult here too I guess? Like, in the same way, uh.. hmmm… is there an equivalent in English? Idk. It does mean “young boy” but it can be used to mean it in an immature, almost bratty way? Idk.
new moon: elaborate skin care routine, planning your outfit for the next day, looking for constellations, setting your alarm, sleeping in complete darkness, peacefulness
waxing crescent moon: lighting candles, keeping a journal by your bed, wishing on shooting stars, the sound of rain against a window, violet tones, lucky charms
first quarter moon: late night to meet your deadlines, glittering city lights, oversleeping, caffeine, the relief of falling into bed, coming home past midnight
waxing gibbous moon: anticipation for tomorrow, earphones in to relax, wild imagination, midnight storms, restlessness, talking on the phone in bed, checking the fridge at 1am
full moon: deep sleep, dreams that seem real, silk pillows, ice cream in bed, fresh sheets, bubble baths, a night in for yourself, the smell of lavender
