Every time I see a post about this boat something new appears. It’s been less than 3 days.
“Haha a boat got stuck and is causing traffic”
“Oh wow a tiny excavator is trying to dig it out that’s kind of funny”
“…the driver of the boat drew a dick before getting stuck. Nice”
“The boat got ITS dick stuck in the dirt and that’s what they’re digging out????”
“One of the boats thats stuck in traffic is an old Russian oil tanker that was marked as a warship accidentally????????? And it crashed into another boat????”
How is boat news so interesting how did I never know
Instead of making up shitty racist headcanons about Miles shoplifting join me in headcanoning him picking up ballet because he thought Gwen being a ballerina was super neat and it would help him in his spiderman job
Spider strength he can’t control + Lifts = Hilarity
Miles, muttering to himself: do not yeet the ballerina. do NOT yeet the ballerina
Jumps. JUMPS.
Miles frantically googling “How high can normal people jump??? How high can ballerinas jump?????? I don’t think I’m supposed to be able to jump straight up to the ceiling and also I keep getting stuck up there please help”
Once Mile’s spider sense pinged lightly about a balcony set and he told the crew master he had a bad feeling about it. The balcony collapsed later. No one was hurt, but now Miles has to go over sets and pronounce them clear of ‘bad feelings’
He’s not even good enough to be in shows yet, but nothing goes out without his seal of approval
honestly I have known so many stage managers and props department people who are Exactly This Superstitious. (And hell, in this case they’re not even wrong he literally has magic danger powers)
I’ve also known a few dancers, and without exception the reaction to finding out this boy can effortlessly hold them in a single arm lift or YEET them dozens of feet in the air (And catch them after!) would be PURE GLEE.
“Okay, Glynda, look, we all know he’s Spiderman. Kid’s terrible at hiding it. But imagine this. None of us tell him we know and none of us tell him how high ballerinas can really throw their partners. And each class we just keep on pretending like we’re impressed with how fast he’s improving but, y'know, he’s still got further to go.”
“Uhuh, yeah, I see that look in your eyes Glynda. You know exactly where I’m going with this. How high do you think Spiderman can throw you?”
“Okay, Glynda, stop giggling, the giggling is creepy. Dessie, please make her stop giggling.”
This is wonderful
One day, in the middle of ballet class, there was a robbery going on a block away, so of course Miles’ gotta rush over there to help out. He grabs his mask, but doesn’t have time to put on his whole suit because he said he was going to the bathroom and it’s be weird if he was gone for so long.
Cue Spider-Man kicking ass in pink ballet shoes and leggings.
This actually increased his popularity severely, and lots of people suddenly gained the interest in ballet; boys too, because if someone as cool as Spider-Man does it, everyone can do it.
When he’s back the instructors don’t comment on the rip in his shirt, the dirt on his shoes, or the smear of paint on his leggings. They make sure to treat the class afterwards. After all, it’s not every day that Spider-Man stops a bunch of bankrobbers and manages to do a high pirouette withoutcrashing through the ceiling this time!
This keeps getting better!
Someone: *Attempts to comment on how weird it is that Miles can throw Glenda high enough she can touch the roof with her palm*
The Stage Manager:
Ballet companies starting rumours that Spiderman doesn’t actually has super powers, he’s just classically trained
You too could scale buildings if you would just practice regularly and focus on your core
no offense but broadway and other forms of high theater should be more accessible and should at the very least be taped and released for easy home viewing when they close
people are going to pirate broadway shows regardless bc most people cant AFFORD to drop hundreds of dollars on tickets, and a working-class family in flyover country is probably not gonna have the chance to see a musical in broadway or chicago or california etc. very often!
but their parents could probably buy them a DVD for their birthday! so why should children (especially young actors) be deprived of art bc of their class or location? wouldnt allowing people who literally cannot access theater to buy or rent high-quality, official recordings benefit the arts better than forcing them to pirate it?
and so many of these shows close and are all but lost to the majority of the population! thats fucked up. just record them!!!! fuck!!!!!
there’s a section of the new york public library that has access to theaterical recordings…..but it’s only accessible to students and theater professionals who need it to study. cmon!! people should be allowed to view this stuff.
for a lot of people, getting to watch legally blonde the musical on mtv or listening to a recording – accessible, affordable forms of theater – made them dedicated lovers of the arts. they inspire actors and singers and animatics and composers. why deprive these people????
and people might say “well no one will buy tickets!!” which is absurd. i watch hockey games on television all the time and i still buy tickets to see it in-person because live is a whole different experience! and like…..you dont know theater people. they’ll gladly see the same show 50 times. lots of people see shows BECAUSE they already access it through stuff like bootlegs or albums already so whats the point! its not like they wouldnt make bank off of theater nerds buying recordings anyway!
anyway, high-end musicals should be recorded and released on dvd and streaming services and played on public television thank u
also recorded shows can have subtitles, descriptive audio, and translations for accessibility
When we were kids, my family bought us the 1998 recording of Cats. Both myself and my sister loved it.
For me, it installed just a general love of musicals. For my sister? It sparked a passion. She’s now studying musical theatre, and just performed in Cats for her final performance at one of the top acting conservatories in Europe.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
