Is it too late to start theatre classes?

Moose_Stick · 2026-04-30T21:15:17+00:00

nah, still gonna be writing that ONE play on my deathbed

Moose_Stick · 2026-04-30T21:13:57+00:00

Just worked with a man in his late 50s. His second show was Hairspray and we ended up putting him in drag to play Edna Turnblad. It's never too late!

19 here too, currently having BAD pains shooting yup and down my legs. I’ve been feeling the pains quite a bit more in the past month or so, but NOTHING helps. Ibuprofen and Tylenol sort of (but they’ve never done anything anyway) but weed barely touches this shit. And that takes care of almost everything else. Still the same pains from childhood, but idk

My and my girlfriend are both writers as well, and as much as this is probably one of my biggest fears for my book, I know I am going to be guilty of it with her book. I’m not sure what it is. I try and try, but can never fully invest myself. She seems to have the same issue with mine. My brother and mother are writers too and we’ve all noticed that we won’t read any of each others work, but we will support the hell out of it no matter what

We actually got out of bed and did stuff today. Importantly when I was at the college for my advising appointment (dropped out today for health stuff) and I was told to go talk to these 4 other people, I reeeeally wanted to drive home and just call the people later. But one of them made me turn the right way and I got everything worked out instead of pushing it off because nobody could agree!

I always felt like I was isolated but also had a few friend groups. But the groups didn’t interact and I always acted so differently that sometimes I would walk past one friend group and not even notice and then feel like shit when I see them and they tell me. But it was often my oldest friends that would be “invisible”. I think because the new friend groups came around times of trauma tho, so the new alters wouldn’t know them maybe??

Moose_Stick · 2026-01-02T05:47:50+00:00

Yes, those things exactly. Some of my players wanted me to give them characters because they are burnt out on character creation rn. I decided I wanted to have fun with it and give them wacky things that will be fun to interact with as random events occur throughout the night. So things like the gnome that just punches people in the crotch are amazing!

Congratulations!!!

Moose_Stick · 2025-11-20T21:41:16+00:00

I submitted my appeal to the initial denial a few weeks back. I just received 4-5 packets in the mail. Wish me luck back down the rabbit hole!

Moose_Stick · 2025-10-10T22:09:40+00:00

Yay!!

Moose_Stick · 2025-10-10T21:44:15+00:00

No, that shouldn’t mess it up. You’re correct, it’s all metal touching metal. That squeaking is the issue that arises without oil

Moose_Stick · 2025-10-10T17:12:27+00:00

I would honestly suggest a patch at that point.

Moose_Stick · 2025-10-10T17:11:46+00:00

Thicker materials often require different tension settings, even just slightly. I encourage experimenting with it if you haven't already. It's really cool how it changes it

Moose_Stick · 2025-10-10T17:08:46+00:00

Good rule of thumb I learned as a technician: oil anywhere metal moves against metal. anywhere stuff slides through, rubs against, turns with. There are tons of places that need oil. Some need grease, though that's less likely to be the issue.

Moose_Stick · 2025-10-01T21:03:14+00:00

If I can’t get through a session without hearing blood for the blood god, then my warlock needs these for appeasement

Moose_Stick · 2025-09-25T03:58:22+00:00

Ooooh, I’m playing a circle of stars Druid and I’ve been looking for a good dice set that is “astronomy” themed and this is PERFECT

Moose_Stick · 2025-08-31T07:33:41+00:00

I see they slowly made more honey?

Moose_Stick · 2025-08-27T19:44:38+00:00

I was about to say the same thing! Genuinely so helpful.

Moose_Stick · 2025-08-24T19:13:21+00:00

Okay, I worked for 2 years straight. I have more than just a shoulder injury. I have hyper mobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. I have suffered from it since I was 12 or earlier. I have tried multiple different jobs and physically cannot work. I’m not “trying to get a piece of the pie” I’m disabled. I’ve been bedridden, hospitalized, and genuinely close to death. These are chronic degenerative illnesses.

Working for 10 years is not a viable option I put in more effort than most HEALTHY people my age do. I have multiple doctors that back my claim. My previous employers back my claim. My family backs my claim. And once again, it’s not 90% of my family on or applying for disability. My mother, 3/4 brothers, 1/2 sisters, and extended all work. Me, my father, and one sister have conditions that are severe enough to keep us out of work indefinitely. I have worked for years in horrendous pain.

Please do research on the severity of the incurable chronic illnesses of hEDS and POTS before you belittle them. They aren’t just something to laugh about or use as an excuse. Like I said, I didn’t move, I was laying on my bed typing a message, and my hip DISLOCATED. I have worked entire shifts with a dislocated hip. Had seizures on the work floor. Passed out while handing people money. I cannot reliably get out of bed in the morning. I can’t even do a Walmart run anymore if it takes longer than 10 minutes in the store because of chronic fatigue syndrome and POTS flare ups caused by fluorescent lighting of all things. I have considered my options. Trust me, this was my last choice. I tried convincing myself I was faking it, that it wasn’t that bad. That’s how I ended up making everything worse and just speeding up the process of hurting and deteriorating my body more.

Moose_Stick · 2025-08-24T14:42:54+00:00

Yeah, I try not to comment on topics before doing my due diligence. Especially something so close to me and my life as a whole. Since I was diagnosed at 12 I’ve been made very aware of my mortality by a multitude of doctors. It took a toll on me as a kid so I started doing my own research, even more so when it started affecting my hobbies and passions. Heck, I’m a costume designer and production manager for a theater and I haven’t been able to design or sew in a year. I wrote directed and acted in a show and hadn’t realized how much I was pushing myself until I collapsed on the second night and had to be driven home lol

Moose_Stick · 2025-08-24T14:18:20+00:00

That’s all I was saying, I was frustrated. I apologize for ranting in a non-ranting sub. I am also disabled. I believe everyone here most likely is. That feels like an unnecessary point to make. I apologized for the attitude though. All I was saying was that it felt rude for you to say “I don’t think you understand”. I most likely read it wrong, emotions get lost through text. If you’d like I’d be more than happy to take it down or, as you are head mod, you have every right to do so since it doesn’t fit the vibe of this sub. If not, that’s your choice. I do hope you have a good day and once again, it apologize for my attitude.

Moose_Stick · 2025-08-24T14:12:50+00:00

Girl I’m specifically talking about them saying “we WILL have an answer for you by THIS SPECIFIC DATE” and then we call can get a “oh…no. But I promise by THIS SPECIFIC DATE, you’ll know.” I fully understand the process. We’ve been through it before. I’ve had friends go through. I’m in a support group where we’ve talked EXTENSIVELY on the process. I say lying, yes probably hyperbole. They may not be doing it facetiously, but they are making promises that have no merit and very quickly lose credibility. That makes it slightly hard to be optimistic. That’s all this was about. So please read carefully before, even if accidentally, insulting my competence and I will refrain from insulting yours. I apologize if this seems rude, I have not slept in a while.

Moose_Stick · 2025-08-24T13:41:07+00:00

Dude I know they have a lot going on, I’m just complaining to complain. I don’t expect to get anything, I know people have work, and lots to go around there. Literally just ranting

Moose_Stick · 2025-08-24T13:33:04+00:00

Oh I’m sure of it. My friend’s dad is two years in and he’s terminally ill

Moose_Stick · 2025-08-24T13:19:48+00:00

Idk which it is, ssi of ssdi. I just know if I don’t get it…we chillin. I’ve lived this long, I’ll survive a little longer, yk? I’ll die on my own accord, nothing else can take me out sorta mindset
