A musical where the main character is trying to get everyone else to realize they’re on a stage, but they’re all caught up in some random conflict or something and the main character just doesn’t care because dammit we have bigger problems we’re f i c t i o n a l
That’s a huge mood
It’s time to make millions on broadway
Now, all we need to do is find out how to write musicals
You’re hired
Main character, in the back of the house, yelling: Where do you think I am?
Side character, on stage: You’re across the field?
Main character: *facepalm*
HOLY SHIT the main character gets the others to see that they don’t exist by getting the audience involved by like singing/yelling/some other noise in the last act
The main character starts singing super random songs in hopes that the rest will question it but they all join in in perfect unison
Absolutely
The main character keeps asking for more and more random stuff that get brought on stage a props trying to ask for something they don’t have. Eventually, he asks for something that doesn’t exist, so they bring on a, really obviously fake replica of said thing, and everything thinks it’s the real thing.
He walks backstage and starts rummaging through props (you hear cluttering sounds and muttering or something on the speaker), asks for something they don’t have. You hear a crew member yell “dammit” and a fake, quickly put together prop of it gets thrown on stage and then everybody thinks it’s real
Main character: I know you don’t have a [random object]
Stage crew member: “shit.” *throws out a shitty version of said object*
Stage crew: dude, just stop trying to show them. You’ll get through the musical soon.
Main character: you know I can’t stop. It’s in the script
Okay. This is actually a really funny concept
Is it wrong that I low-key want to write a draft for at least a section of the first act
Nope! Want some help? In a former life I was a theater major and have actually written some plays :)
Hell fucking yes
It’s funny, TGWDLM has a similar vibe to this idea, but I watched it for the first time like a month after I came up with the idea
@gaudfish-naudsm PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU YOU END UP WRITING THIS
WILL DO MY WINGED PRUNE PSYCHIC LAYWER AMIGO
I’ve kind of written this!
I was reading up on how to do it, and the site basically said to start short and work up
Like, start with a 5-sentence summary, then a page or two long going into more detail, then a very fleshed out essay that about 10 pages, then move onto writing the actual script (since it’s easier to write a musical based off of a piece of writing). I’m halfway through the page-long step
Characters include:
Corey: NB protagonist, has 3 “favorite characters” (best friends) who are by their side for most of it, they can break the fourth wall, mild anger issues
Joey: trans male friend, outgoing and loud, hella gay, flirty, and very artistic
Dexter “Dex”: male friend, probably has a conspiracy theory blog, probably went to Area 51, a nerd, smart as hell, good with tech
Andrea “Andy”: female friend, daredevil, loud, easy to gain the trust of, reckless, outgoing, adventurous, loves food
“Trigger”: male antagonist, can also break the fourth wall, is manipulative and smart but hides it behind snark and singing
Character Idea: Georgina: Stage Crew. She constantly pops out of the curtains during scene change says something and then then Corey says “Shut up Georgina! I just want this play to end” and she pops back into stage. (Can I join)
What I’m planning to do is finish the premise, then put a link to the doc on tumblr with everyone on comment-only to give criticism and such
I’ll do the outline after the premise has been criticized, because it’s easier to edit a 2 page doc than a 10 page
:DDDDD
Not to be dramatic but your comment literally made my day @darthserket
I only saw what I did when you commented that lmao
I kinda want in on this but I’m a bean sprout who has little to no directing experience, so you may want to count me out.
Same here my dude, my experience with theater includes watching The Lion King twice in theaters, tgwdlm on YouTube, and 3 elementary school musicals
….may I be of assistance?
Yea! The link to the working doc is up, so everyone can help, criticize, suggest ideas, or put in feedback in the comments! If you want to help more (you know how to write music/have experience writing a musical, or if you happen to be Lana Rosewood) then email me at therealgaudfishnaudsm@gmail.com
I’ve seen the doc- damn, I would love to be in the musical, but everyone working on it is probably scattered to the winds. (A child can dream tho)
I would love to draw these characters! Do you mind if I do and send them to ou via tumblr?
Absolutely, please do!
Original post for the play that came up on my dash and I cannot wait till it’s done
Remember lads, you have the power to make the US corporate products being pushed in China, get banned.
China has already proven they are a paper tiger to ideas that undermine them, use that to your advantage to take on domestic corporations that push China’s censorship on you.
!!! Please remember that this all happened because blizzard banned a hearthstone player from Hong Kong (blitzchung) after he talked about this issue in a post game interview!!! He didn’t even went that deep into it, he was just talking about his people and how he supports them but still blizzard banned him immediately from pro play and rescinded his price money!!!
I love how when someone blocks you on Tumblr, it just pretends it can’t load their page instead of telling you to get fucked. It’s so funny. Like, why is this website trying not to hurt my feelings?
Found this one that checks all the boxes on r/boomerhumor.
Wow
Weirdest experience I ever had with this is with a customer at work.
It’s not an uncommon occurrence for men in their 40s and 50s to refer to their wives as “old bags”, so whenever I do the whole “Would you like a bag” spiel, there’s a 50/50 chance they will point to their wife and say “No thanks I have one right here” or say “Nah I left her at home” Or something else awful and then wink at me and call me darling or sweetheart and just make me want to be smited by god right in that second.
However there was one customer that came in and did this whole song and dance. Not out of the ordinary. What was, however, was how he then followed it up by going “I’m kidding, I’m divorced ha ha.” Then, his face drops and he turns to his friend with a look of absolute horror and goes “Wait, that’s probably why. Do you think that’s why she left me Andy? Because I said things like that?” And then proceeded to look like he was re-evaluating his whole life as his friend led him out of the store.
TL; DR = Boomers are weird and this one was given a glimpse behind the veil of self awareness in a Tesco Extra
Blizzard banned pro Hearthstone winner for supporting free Hong Kong and took away his prize money. It would be SUCH A SHAME if Mei became a symbol of Hong Kong democracy and got Overwatch banned in China like Pooh did.
Join us! Draw this in your style or any blizzard game characters as a Hong Kong protester. Don’t let the Chinese government control our free speech!
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.
