I have waited tables. I’ve worked in bars. You know who tips well? The working poor, the lower middle class, and people who work or have worked in service industries. You know who tips shitty or not at all? Rich people, upper middle class people, and privileged fuckers who use their “moral opposition” to tipping to be cheap assholes.
Apparently my director went to see a production of West Side Story a few years ago, and the guy playing Chino forgot his gun before coming out for his final scene. Once it got to the big scene where he is supposed to shoot Tony, he screeched “Poison Boots” and kicked the actor playing Tony until he went down. The girl playing Maria then had to jerk the shoe off of Chino’s foot, and had to do the gunshot scene asking “How many kicks Chino? How many kicks, and one kick left for me”.
There should be a blog dedicated to theatrical urban legends. Like that opening weekend of Dracula where Dracula (still hungover) vomited all over the audience during the first stage direction that everyone has a friend of a friend that worked on the show and was there.
or the one where the bridge never came out for Javert’s suicide and so he just pretended to stab himself and then lay there until the lights went out
best story i heard was when a friend of mine saw a show where juliet forgot to bring the dagger out on stage so she just ripped the squib out of her chest and blood squirted everywhere
During a passion play a friend of my brother was supposedly in, one of the roman soldiers who was supposed to stab jesus on the cross and accidentally grabbed the wrong spear- he was supposed to grab one with a fake tip, but instead he grabbed one with an actual metal tip and, well
Jesus screamed “JESUS CHRIST YOU STABBED ME”.
Since that Jesus had to be taken down due to a bad case of stab-itis, the backup Jesus came in, but he weighed significantly less than the original Jesus- which would have been fine, except that at the end the cross was supposed to ascend upwards with Jesus on it, and the weights hadn’t been adjusted.
So Jesus, instead, ROCKETED UP into heaven (or, just, above the stage).
This is wild from start to finish
I was in Peter Pan once and one night at a performance, the adhesive holding our Hook’s mustache on was wearing off. It was near the end with a big fight scene and when he got attacked, he let his mustache fall and went “YOU RIPPED MY MUSTACHE OFF!” in a scandalized tone and it added a new note of hilarity to the whole scene (which was supposed to be funny anyway)
In my seventh grade play, which was a midsummer night’s dream, Thisbe didn’t have a sword so she stabbed herself with a coathanger
My junior year we were doing Romeo and Juliet and after Juliet poisons herself it was supposed to go dark and she’d get off the stage. well the light crew accidentally turned them back on and Juliet who was sitting up slammed back down on the wooden bed with a loud bang. To which my theater teacher says into the com “zombie Juliet” and everyone who heard that had to keep as quiet as possible while our eyes were filling with tears.
i attended my county’s performing arts high school majoring in vocal studies, (mostly geared towards musical theater and opera styles) and once a year we got a field trip to new york (we were in jersey, so it’s not exactly far). we would do one touristy thing, an actor’s workshop with friends of our teachers working in various performing industries in nyc, and then see a show.
my first year doing this, our industry contacts were 1 actor, 1 casting director, and 1 producer to get different aspects of the business, and they all gave us amazing advice and told fantastic stories. the actor in question was Zazu on Broadway’s The Lion King for several years, and told the best story by far.
in The Lion King, there are only two pieces of pre-recorded noise in the whole show. one, when Pumbaa does a MASSIVE fart while fighting the hyenas, and the other being Mufasa saying REMEMBERRRRRR as Simba climbs Pride Rock. the actor told us while struggling not to laugh that, during one night’s performance, someone forgot to flip the tape of these pre-recorded noises.
so, at the end of the show, the great climax where Simba finally accepts his place in the Circle of Life, the heavens parted and-
I only date people who will accept that i’m a gender-kin shovel with neon pink and green hair going down my hard wooden handle. My spade has eight peircings in a star pattern, and my grip is a level 21 warlock-kin. I use the pronouns shoveľ/shövel/shovél and all cisgender men must die.
I’m also stargender on the fourth, fifteenth and twentieth of each month except for october. In october, i’m actually a spoon.
Kilala you don't understand. I thought you where so far out of my league. That I would annoy you and make you hate me like all the other people in my life
PFFFFFFT I don’t hate anybody unless they do something to make me hate them. You’re good. And as I said I’m nothing more than a dork.
So this is something my dad told me occured at a fast food chain (think Whopper) and I wasn’t there bc I’m not a fan of the food so went elsewhere, wish I could’ve been to say something though.
So my family are in line to order some food and there is a family of about 6 in front. Now this family sounded pretty posh and like a typical stuck up family- and all of the kids were miraculously gluten-intolerant. Now the first issue with this is why in the world are you in said fast food restaurant?? Especially because the following encounter ensued:
woman: Do you offer anything gluten free?
Poor French server (we’re in france): No, we only have what is on the boards. woman:But my kids are gluten intolerant, I need a menu.
Server: I’m afraid we do not have menus.
Woman: Okay, can I get 6 rashers of bacon? (My dad was speechless at this point)
Server:I’m sorry?
Woman: Can I have the bacon you offer?Server: That bacon is only a side, you have to order a burger for that.
Woman (increasingly aggravated): What DO YOU MEAN?? HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO FEED MY CHILDREN THEY CANNOT EAT GLUTEN.
Server: (probably internally who tf this girl think she is???)I’m afraid I cannot help with your childrens dietry requirements.
Woman: This is horrendous. I cannot believe you do not have any gluten free options, this is a disgrace. *gathers her mortified family and storms to the channel tunnel car park*
Rest of queue: Thank FUCK.
So basically this woman doesn’t know how this fast food chain works, doesn’t understand the server is french and will not understand high pitched screaming-nor wil he want to, doesn’t care enough for her kids to make sure there will always be food on hand if the gluten intolerance is so terrible (plus she had literally come to the land of bread get ur shit together)
I just feel so bad for the server???
And also my dad (who is a chef and regularly deals with allergies and intolerance) pointed out that gluten intolerance is not the same as an allergy and they could’ve always had something on the menu like fries which doesn’t directly involve bread
lol that was longer than it should’ve been but it astounds me how stupid people are sometimes.
You keep mentioning this but ignoring what I'm saying - you said "He just wasn’t able to let himself fall for her fully" - BUT he fully loved Milha. If he didn't allow himself to fully love Belle then it wasn't TRUE LOVE. You can't truly love someone partially! He didn't give his whole heart to Belle - so they didn't have TL and more than that, as he refused to love her fully, he was USING HER. He married her knowing he didn't fully love her or believe in her. That's really cruel.
And again you are comparing his old self to his new self, something I didn’t do in my analysis. Yes he fully loved Milah. Or did as far as we knew. But you know what he DIDNT have when he loved Milah? A DARK CURSE ON HIM MAKING HIM CORRUPT WITH DARK MAGIC! So no he couldn’t give Belle True Love fine but that doesn’t mean he was USING her.
He proposed to her WITH the dagger. He used the fake one to kill Zelena, but then gave her the real one because he wanted to do right by her. He DID love her fully. He DID want to love her fully. He was READY TO. But then the damn hat came into play and then that fiasco started.
If you don’t see how much Rumple loved Belle I seriously don’t think we’re watching the same show.
it would make a weird amount of sense if ‘God’ is just a title passed down every few centuries so we have a new ‘God’ doing the whole world gig for that duration
And they all have different opinions over what’s right and wrong and they keep trying to mold the world based on those viewpoints
I can totally see God being a job rather than a person. And since one God can’t influence the entire world, there are many Gods at each time reigning over different regions, each with their own rules and opinions.
It's not an opinion - it's canon. Did Rumple choose Belle over his dream of magic/power? No. Did Rumple choose Milha over his dream of the army? Yes. Did Rumple fight for Belle when she went with Will? No. Did Rumple fight for Milha? Yes. Did Rumple maintain his grudge against Regina for taking Belle? No (S4e12). Does Rumple hold a grudge against Hook for taking Milha? Yes. MILHA WORE THE BLUE DRESS BEFORE BELLE CHRONOLOGICALLY. THE *DISNEY* DRESS (see: S2e14). Rumple dressed Belle like his wife
a-random-mod or fangpony I’m at work can someone please explain to this anon how it’s more complicated than they make it because of complex emotional shit Rumple was going through as well as ya know PTSD? I can’t argue with them right now over a ship and love that’s so BEYOND CANON it’s not even funny.
now that’s what i call ineffective tumblr discourse! featuring such hits as “why aren’t you talking about this thing you didn’t know about”, “this 3-hour-old post has 20k notes instead of 100k clearly you’re all willfully ignoring it”, “if you don’t reblog this you’re a bad person”, & more manipulative bullshit that only exists to make the person saying it feel holier than thou!
Don’t forget the classics of “everyone go hate this famous person because I am saying they did something bad but have no evidence to back it up” and “Makeup and dresses are gender neutral. Unless it’s markiplier wearing them. THen it’s offensive”

friendly reminder that in psychology school people are taught that anger is a secondary emotion, so next time you make someone mad, remember that it’s because they were originally hurt or upset
This makes a lot of sense.
Seriously. Never forget.
they teach this in wilderness. my group (men aged eighteen to twenty five) was full of dudes with anger problems and every single one was simply unwilling to acknowledge feeling hurt, scared, or sad. this post is hella true.
