It was really fun and had some real heavy hitters in the Shakespeare scene

Catesby when he’s brought into Richard and Buckingham’s inner circle

vs

Catesby when Richard’s killed off most of everyone else in that circle and he’s the only one left before the Battle of Bosworth

Sometimes you get home after a show and the mascara and eyeliner and makeup are just right from being under those stage light,

so obviously the only choice is to take the most god-awful bathroom selfie imaginable like a vintage MySpace pic before passing out for the night

My friend is doing his Letterboxd reviews through the lens of seeing movies through disjointed YouTube shorts to spite me

I’m foaming at the mouth

Friend made a little illustration of me playing William Catesby from a recent production of Richard III (Shakespeare)
The direction I was given was:
“Look like you are about to give us a quest to collect coins from the peasants in the village, and that you will give us 2 loaves of bread as a reward”

Exaaaactly,
And then you’re basically on your way to programming and designing projections and tab go’s,

And then you can just mess around with shit like this
November 19, 2025 at 5:14 PM
you're right. I was being polite, this is what it's like:

You're flirting like it's cute
Meanwhile I’ve been floating face-up for twenty minutes,
barely conscious, swaying through your load—
brushing the walls every time you move.

This is my beloved Tritchia 🕷️🥀

(she might be a bit on the scribbly side 😅)

Was talking with someone on here recently about early ways we got into performance art

And goodness gracious do I sheepishly long for the ol’ days of doing homestuck panels at conventions

If I may say I was THE Kankri of my region

(I think I looked pretty good in grey too lol)

Super based ✨✨

This is my best buddy in the whole wide world’s favorite movie

You’ll never guess who we were for Halloween

(We lost lost ‘dynamic duo’ at a costume party btw 🥲)

Oh you better believe it!😏
Songs of love and longing from the lovers, separated in little cages like parakeets

Ensemble numbers? Ho ho
Let’s throw in a little Pirates of Penzance—Borrower pirates belting songs of how stealthy they are stealing keys to free them🎵🎶

Running some carnival/circus/thriller DnD campaign stuff with some mates, and a friend is whipping up some cool art

Based on some art from a setting, but they’re nailing the design and vibe!

Some baller illustration in the group chat too
I think this character’s a keeper

💜💜🎪🤹

New meme manifested in the cast group chat
September 20, 2025 at 3:42 PM
New make up design for a current show is coming together
They were going for a lizard-mime

(think trickster just crawled out from under a rock, but a little more fantastical)

Happy we took some notes from Marcel Marceu’s ‘Bip the Clown’ with this draft
Felt REALLY expressive, excited to continue!

Comments from a friend during their first viewing of Blade Runner;

Describing two antagonists:

"We've got fuckin'... Jack Frost and Raggedy Lesbi-Anne."

A bunch of theatre friends and I did a self indulgent photo shoot in our black box theater.

This is the most stupid fun I’ve had in a while and believe me it was stupid

We’re making terrible album ideas and this one is becoming a group favorite.
🎸🤘

(more to come probably)

I want to more and more thanku for motivating 💜

I do have some other ones that are not as pretty, but they are freaky and beasty-y

(Just some snippets bc I’d want to probably redo the whole piece)

Still digging up old drawings,
And do actually want to have another go at her

(and goodness gracious, not make the images so dark this time around lol)
September 9, 2025 at 6:41 PM
Oh hell yes! 💜💜

You’re an absolute visionary with this cannon routine 🎪💥
this’ll be the next Cirque du Soleil 😎

(not to get clowning history nerdy but the classic Commedia routine’s all here yo)

Your shame is making us go hungry
🙏 please I beg like a cockney orphan

Story idea around The Marriage of Figaro: #sizesky
Two lovers of a household, trying to slip away and wed in secret from the matriarch’s control—
find themselves tiny.

Passed around (both aware and unaware), maids and royals bustling, as the couple struggles to hold their secret ceremony.
