I can say I'm busy with work or I'm trying to get it right etc. etc. but at the end of the day the reason Ethics Town S3 isn't finished yet is so my AO3 stats page can look like this 😭

Pros of having an older brother: make shows with you 🙌💖

Cons of having an older brother: will spontaneously move to another country and, despite not enjoying it there, decide they're better off without you in their life and completely ghost you. Also, will have a crush on your boss
A fake instagram account for t.lancaster. Their account name is Ripley and their bio says: Actor, writer, stage manager, stand up (but only when I'm drunk), incestuous little twink on Broadway this summer. Their profile picture is a distressed prehistoric creature. The images on their account, from bottom to top are: a stage set up to look like a library, a black and white photo of a cat on a window ledge, a wall of neon signs, a black and white photo of the theatre Les Mis is showing in, a cast photo after a show, a black and white photo of two pigeons on the docks, a cathedral, a black and white photo of a man in period costume laughing, and a selfie. A fake instagram post. The image is a selfie of Rhys dressed as a detective. The text reads: Rhys Lawton has been an actor, writer, puppeteer, and director for the last 15 years. Audiophiles can hear him in Dreambound as the incredibly creepy Po Milan, The Nebulous Saga as the tortured Captain Dolian, The Secret of St Kilda as the loveable Elder Findlay, The Silt Verses as Press Secretary Carson, Monstrous Agonies as Adelarde, The Amelia Project as Gruffudd, and as the narrator (and writer!) of Paddleboat amongst other things. Rhys has one cat at present.

Mundane Side Quests cast! 🧵

You know Evan, you love Evan, Evan has been absolutely crushing it so far and we haven't even got to Those Bits yet 🙌
A fake instagram account for chuck.andrews. Their account name is Chuck and their bio is three shrimp emojis. Their profile picture is a selfie. The images on their account, from bottom to top are: a distant beach photographed through a concrete shelter, two kittens on a scratching post a sunset seen from a hill, an autumnal lake, trees silhouetted against sunrise, two actors in period piece, and a selfie. A fake instagram post. The image is a selfie of Evan. The text reads: A lover of horror and comedy, Evan Gwen Davies can be found acting the fool on stage or sobbing into a microphone. She is a member of fabulous queer audio drama production group Calliopic productions, creators of Evan's own show, We Know None, and Voidless which they can be heard in as both as Gwen and Jet respectively. They will also be heard in the upcoming season of Chain of Being, and are the GM for Small and Mighty.

A photo of a drawing tablet. On the table is a black and white line drawing of a concerned-looking man. He has long, wavy hair, freckles, and a hipster-esque moustache. He's wearing a bandanna, choker, denim vest, and stripy long sleeved shirt. On his best is an anarchy A, the flag of Bangladesh, a rainbow, a bi pride flag, and a black lives matter/black power fist. Text: and here is a voice note of me just talking...

Casting announcements are OUT. Re-creating the Community title sequence with your main cast is IN #MSQ
A chatter box, folded up to be held. It has the number one written on the outside and some text can just be seen inside. The first layer of the chatterbox. It shows: a stack of books and Evan Gwen Davies. A hammer and nail and Eli Labat-Angstadt. A sad theatre mask and Rhys Lawton A bow and Garnet. The inner most layer of the chatterbox. It shows: a black cat and Sophie Mackay. A coffee cup and Maria Corcovado. A camera and Shafkat Rahman. Musical notes and Pine Gonzalez.

Asking the wrong question it seems 😅
A Tumblr poll asking if people know where the following places are: Borough Market, 36.4%. Cox's Bazar, 0%. Both, 18.2%. Neither, 45.5%.

This is my best ever line but I fear it will be overshadowed by Borough Market not being a famous enough tourist spot for ppl to know it.

Non southern-UK-dwellers, do we know Borough Market?
KAFKA: I will absolutely be on the news. Do you know where Cox's Bazar is? REPORTER: Um, is that next to Borough Market? KAFKA: Oh my god, yes.

One more week!!!

Also, have updated the doc to account for UK heatwave/make auditions easier ☀️
CADENCE: What’s he… like? CHUCK: What do you mean? CADENCE: As a person, what’s my son like? CHUCK: Again, I think you’d know better than me- CADENCE: But I don’t. I don’t know anything about him. Is he kind? KAFKA: Leisel, I hate to do it, but you’re due a bathroom check. LEISEL: Oh my gosh, don’t be sorry at all, I’m on it. I’ll do it. I love it, even. KAFKA: Alright?

And, of course, The Details (canva mobile butchered all my graphics but this one I just didn’t see as worth fixing 😭) 3/3
The details: 12 episodes Potential for future seasons, but the main emotional conflict is (sort of) wrapped up 5-15 minutes per episode Currently scripts are being edited and should be mostly reocrded over summer, edited in early Autumn, and ready beofre the end of the year (ideally late autumn) All characters made using makowka’s picrew. It’s my fave one, go check it out!

There are of course a few more character who didn’t quite make the graphic (and a couple we haven’t cast yet , so 👀) 2/3
Text 1: ‘Chuck Andrews. Chuck is a psychology graduate working in customer care. Their parents split when they were young and their dad quickly started a new family. When their mum married Ripley’s dad she took his surname, leaving Chuck to feel completely alone. They have a good relationship with their younger brothers, and with Ripley, until he moved away. They pride themself on being a good friend/sibling and try not to let people see much of their personality outside of that.’ A picrew of Chuck shows they are a young person with short, brown hair and one ear piercing. They look concerned but are otherwise very non-Descript. Text 2: Thomas ‘Ripley’ Lancaster. Ripley is a talented musical theatre performer, well-known on the West End. Whilst on stage he’s a bundle of confidence and energy, in reality he’s anxious and awkward in social situations. He’s a very sweet and well-intentioned person, but he’d rather do nothing at all than do something wrong. While making his Broadway debut, Ripley finds himself both home-sick and unable to connect with anyone back home.’ A picrew of Ripley. He has a round, freckles face and is smiling widely. His hair is a messy, brown wolf cut with a blond fringe. He has a nose ring and an ear piercing. He’s wearing a colourful jacket over a Kermit the frog shirt. Text 1: ‘Mackenzie ‘Mac’ MacDonald. Mac, Chuck’s best friend and flatmate, is a masters student studying ancient civilisations. They have two kittens they treat like their children. While they seemingly have a much more involved family than Chuck, Mac expresses a desire to not go back and live with them when they have to move out of their flat. Although they love their degree their university makes classes increasingly hard by limiting access to accessibility resources.’ A picrew that shows Mac as a person with long, brown hair half worn up in two buns. They’re wearing glasses and a turtle neck they don’t look pleased. Behind them are three transparent images of Master Oogway and the text ‘noodles?’ Text 2: ‘Kafka Amin. Mr steal-your-man? No, no, Mr steal-your-younger-sibing. Originally an inhabitant of Santa Barbara, Kafka ran away to London at eighteen after receiving some disappointing news. He’s a classic 90s kid - into both political literature and smoking weed - and a great boss for Chuck. He has aspirations beyond working at the train station help desk, but god forbid he share them with anyone.’ A picrew of Kafa. He has long, dark, wavy hair and a moustache. He’s wearing circular glasses and a colourful 90s style wind breaker. He has both ears pierced and wears gold earrings. Text 1: ‘Levi Holland. Levi is the assistant stage manager of Ripley’s broadway show. He’s fun, laid-back, and - most importantly for Ripley - willing to give people time to come out of their shell. not much is known about since, despite him being Ripley’s best friend in America, they don’t spend much time together ouside of work.’ Levi has short blond hair and a beard. He wears a backwards baseball hat and a tatters black vest top. Text 2: ‘Anne-Marie Johnson. Anne-Marie plays Ripley’s stage-crush’s stage-mother. Although she’s also a mother outside of her role and can dish out some sound advice, Anne-Marie also enjoys making her co-workers squirm; whether it be by putting them in awkward situations (stand-up comedy) or asking uncomfortabl questions that really should be answered.’ Anne-Marie has curly brown hair worn in a ponytail. Gold glasses and gold hoop earrings. She’s wearing a yellow vest top and taupe overcoat.

New show no. 1! It’s very character-heavy, so here are the characters! 1/3 #msq
Text: ‘Mundane Side Quests. MSQ is a short-form slice-of-life sitcom (ish) about dysfunctional families and trying to get your shit together. While Chuck’s step-brother, Ripley, is away for work, Chuck tries to find a fun new way for them to keep in touch. But Ripley doesn’t seem to be interested in playing silly games, or having a relationship with his step-sibling for that matter. In fact, Ripley’s having a hard time being interested in anything at all. Chuck’s patience begins to wear as a new friend helps them realise just how easy it could be to have a good relationship with their brother. But are they willing to just give up? What is family, really, and how much does it matter?’ To the right of the text is a drawing of a little pirate-style map. A Trail loops around a CVS sign, a woods, a rail line, a bowl of soup, a theatre mask, a mother and child, a house, and completely loops around ‘X marks the spot’.

We've done a bit of a rebrand!

Don't worry, we are NOT a production company now. Here's the first of many explanations!

Not from ET, but can we pour one out for the best line I’ve ever had to cut from a show. She will be missed
Text. Chuck: Oh nooo. Is he going to break up with you because you have someone else’s liver? That’s soooo sad.

Oh *no*! I tripped and dropped my ‘January is not Some Twink’ compilation. Hope nobody finds it and catches all the extremely un-subtle hints I’ve been dropping. That would be *terrible*
A page of transcript/social media screenshots in text boxes. From left right right, top to bottom: 1. Ian: Yes. And heart palpitations. Shortness of breath. Fatigue. Nausea. (Lmao, he’s kind of a salty bitch) And yes, I’m sure that can all technically be symptoms of being fat but technically, technically, I’m supposed to have been alive for thirty six years and I’ve been fine for the other thirty five. 2. [January moves the table so he can sit down more comfortably] 3. Rory: Yeah, that’s why he likes the hat so much. Covers his face, he says. Though I don’t know why he’s want to. I know the guy’s married- Addi: And like a decade older than you. Rory: But damn! 4. Noah: I’ve never seen you smile before. Rory’s right, you are cute. 5. January: (grumpy - this is kind of a sensitive topic for him) Ugh, I remember that one. Yeah, just push a fat person onto the tracks. 6. (a lil baby boy) I, I usually only lose weight when I’m really I’ll. it makes me feel really uncomfortable in my own body. And I’m already so uncomfortable. 7. But the things that have been mentioned, off the top of my head, for anyone who’s curious: January is a big boy. Very tall, heavy set, curly hair, attractive, very symmetrical face. 8. Responsibility has a way of finding people. Especially here. And anyway, he has a very distinctive face. A lot of people think he’s very handsome and eh, I can see it. 9. I also gotta find a nice and fun way to be like ‘love this boy, great boy right here, but January is just not this thin.’ Hard to be the No. 1 January is not some twink advocate when he is in fact some twink. (That’s unfair to Rhys he is not some twink, but on a scale of some twink to January Johnson yes he is). 10. But they really messed up this chunky, queer, mentally ill little boy. But they still raised him. Against all odds, he survived to adulthood. 11. Tumblr post: what a nice cast of characters, why are all of them skinny. 12. Cartoon of January labelled ‘only “canon” drawing of January.

We are SO back (I say as I re-write S3 to make it *worse*)
Text: I don’t matter anymore. Honestly? I doubt I ever did. There’s so much that we will never understand, it’s shortsighted to assume any of us matter. Though… Sometimes I feel like I matter. Just briefly, for a moment. And it’s… I don’t even know how to describe it. It’s… Okay. I feel okay. I’ve never felt okay before. But how you feel and what you are: those are two separate things. Sometimes I feel like I matter. It doesn’t mean I do.

Bluesky, I’m gonna do for you what twitter repeatedly asked for and never received: here is fanfic.

Not the one I’m “famous” for, though.
The second is his teeth: canines sharpened to a point and white as porcelain. There’s an old Earth legend about monsters with pointed teeth, but I can’t remember whether it was about pirates or vampires. It probably isn’t true. I gave up those paranoia-induced stories when I gave up drinking. But still… Hmm… “I-” redacted faltered. What? “Because you’re a man?” Redacted let out a soft breath, partway between a sigh and a hiss, and turned away from redacted. Their arms were still pressed together - forced, rather, by their blanket cocoon. Redacted could feel redacted’s shaking, as if in an effort to hold back tears. He’d never actually asked redacted about his gender. They hadn’t exactly met under optimal circumstances, and after a few weeks he felt as if it would have come up naturally had it been a problem. Anyway, redacted liked typically masculine things, like… like… oh. “Oh. Unless you’re not?” Tentatively, refusing to look him in the eye, redacted took redacted’s injured hand in hers and cast cure wounds. She was relieved the redacted didn’t block his light on account of her being an unholy level of horny right now. “Definitely not, we don’t have the money for that. Only for special occasions. Or, in this case, just an occasion.” Your stomach drops. You had, albeit unintentionally, intruded on something. “Was it someone’s birthday?” You ask with trepidation. “I didn’t mean to—“ “Yeah,” she cuts you off. “Mine. So I’ll see you tomorrow!”

Please accept this humble tumblr that sums up my feelings on the event (I feel cringe even typing it out 😭)
I’ve been stuck on a train for over 24 hours and the only solace has been the naming of year episode… there’s 10 minutes left of this accursed episode. If this god damn year is named tummy buddy life I’m actually going to break in two. This cannot be it. I am tearing up the floorboards with my teeth.

Also, I told L, Ollie, and Rhys to closet cosplay for the live show with zero direction, so this is what *they* think their characters would wear
Rhys, Ollie, and L standing on stage. Rhys is wearing a blue cardigan, yellow T-shirt, baggy blue jeans and brown shoes. Ollie is wearing a black cropped vest, low-rose black track pants, and red high tops. L is wearing a T-shirt patterned with tiny lightening bolts, black trousers and black shoes.
