radio-charlie asked:

so what do u think about plays

reconstructionbaby answered:

i like how in a theatre time and space are necessarily metaphorical. i don’t like how plays always have to begin with someone walking onstage and talking. too many directors try to work around this by having someone walk onstage and brood in silence for a moment before talking. this is worse.

If you were directing a play, how would it begin?

bagpipes at the back of the auditorium so everyone turns their heads and when they’ve turned back around the play has already begun

Let’s Have Another Bullet Point Story, Courtesy of a Friend

  • So I have a friend that used to be in the tumblers troupe at the renfaire as a contortionist
  • We were chatting online and she told me to tell you all this story.
  • I love Kat dearly
  • but she forgets that she’s stupid strong and hypermobile
  • so one day she throws her back out
  • bad enough that she needed painkillers and couldn’t stand upright
  • “But also I needed Tampons and like.  A Burrito, real bad.”
  • she’s flat on her back in her apartment when she decides this
  • and, in an
  • impeccable
  • leap of reasoning, decides
  • “I can’t roll my back forward to sit/stand up like normal.
  • But I can ARCH my back just fine.
  • SO 
  • I’m going to do that and get on my hands and feet in a stomach-in-the-air this-shit-belongs-in-a-horror-movie-type pose,
  • And amble on down to the 7-11”
  • “And get me that Burrito”
  • It is, 
  • for context, 
  • after midnight in July during a wildfire so it’s hot as satan’s own asshole and the moon is red and shit’s already generally cursed.
  • Imagineyou are some poor sap working nights at the world’s deadest 7-11, and you hear the door jangle but you don’t see anyone’s head over the counters.
  • Whatever.
  • Except you keep hearing noises like there’s someone in the next aisle over.  
  • Fucking around in the burrito section
  • It’s also worth mentioning that Kat
  • 1. sings whatever earworm is currently running through her head when she’s not paying attention
  • 2. sounds EXACTLY like some kind of creepy child from a horror movie when doing so
  • tonight’s song is something from veggietales.
  • DUDE ACTUALLY STANDS HIS GROUND
  • and/or is really fucking high and isn’t sure if he’s tripping balls or notanyway
  • Kat goes up to pay for her burrito and tampons
  • She realizes the counter presents something of a challenge, and then demonstrates for me on her kitchen table at 4AM during a different july wildfire, 
  • exactly 
  • how she used the shelves to climb up the counter 
  • like one of the boston robotics beasties
  • dude stares at her for like, five minutes and says.
  • “Register’s broke.”
  • “Oh No!” Says Kat. “Just Take ‘em.” “Really?  I can leave cash-you don’t have to give me change I don’t want you to get in trouble with your manager.” “…Nah.” “Oh!  OK!  Thank you!” “Yeah ok bye.”
  • Shortly after she arrived back at the apartment, she got a text on her phone from the campus security about  "A Suspicious Individual” at tle 7-11. 
  • It took her 
  • FOUR
  • FUCKING 
  • YEARS
  •  to realize she was the suspicious individual

This is at my college and it got taken down and closed off hours after this tweet was originally posted thanks everyone

SUNY Purchase is the college this was put up at. Currently our campus does not care about any issues unless it gets media attention. 

The ADA is currently suing our campus because of multiple ADA violations and incompetence towards disabled students, mentally/physically or mentally ill.

One of our apartments was supposed to be a temporary building, but is still being used to house students despite one of the ceilings caving in in one of the apartments and displacing its occupants.

We have a major mold and lead problem that is still going unfixed.

We have a University Police force that has been ruled to be incompetent in protecting the student body.

Work orders on campus are ultimately useless and nothing on campus ever gets fixed unless it gets media attention (our ADA violation and the shrine).

We have so many many many more issues that goes unsolved because our college refuses to fix any of them unless they get media attention. As much as the now defunct shrine is funny, the fact the student body is neglected so badly by the college shouldn’t go ignored.

Me: The song about the sun dying and falling in blood
Me: Can’t wait to sing my child to sleep with this song one day lol
Voice Professor: Yes sing it very legato
