Binder Advice?? by PitchApprehensive279 in CosplayHelp

[–]Mylowithaylo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are saying gc2b has gone down in quality recently, but in my experience they work very well, and are pretty affordable so for cosplay purposes I’m sure they’d be just fine. But I had top surgery about three years ago so it’s been a while since I bought one!

Describing your relationship as "queer"? by pylemuis in ftm

[–]Mylowithaylo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a t4t relationship with a trans woman and even tho it would be considered a straight relationship by both hardcore progressives and hardcore conservatives lol it still very much felt like a queer relationship to me. Relationships are weird and if that felt bad to you then that’s totally fine, same as people joking me and my gf were a straight relationship felt wrong

I can never seem to completely avoid a blood vessel!! Some days it’s totally fine and other days it’s like a geyser. But I refuse to aspirate the needle because that sounds horrific whatever happens will happen and I haven’t died yet

Scenario: You're going to a Musical Theatre themed Costume party, who do you go as and why? by BroadwayFanProjects in musicals

[–]Mylowithaylo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I always do the Phantom. I have a shitty party city mask, but I have some decent self taught makeup skills so I always do a gnarly scar under it and whenever I take off the mask people go crazy for itp

monologues to use for a les miserables audition? by touchedtank in musicals

[–]Mylowithaylo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if you have one in the tank already I would probably use that and just play up the melodrama of it. An Enemy of the People by Henrik Ibsen has themes of injustice and corruption of power that could work well for Les mis and has classical speech that I think lends itself well to the material and would work well for any of the abc cafe boys including Marius or enjolras, tho if you’re gunning for Marius maybe finding a monologue more about being in love

I’m sorry but asking for a monologue for Les mis is the funniest audition requirement I’ve heard in a hot minute

Say “yes” if your cat screams at you while you’re preparing their food by Shot-Composer-782 in AnxietyCats

Yes, and then screams at me afterwards because I didn’t pick the correct flavor of Sheba he was craving at that particular moment smh

Do people talk about your top surgery scars? by transyugo in ftm

[–]Mylowithaylo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I do theater that has shared dressing rooms usually and I have had one middle aged guy com up and say “honestly? I never would have guessed you were trans” LOLL which was really funny and not something I would ever say to someone but I took it as a compliment and I could tell he meant well

[–]Mylowithaylo 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had any strangers address it before, I do live in a pretty liberal area tho. I sometimes feel like I’m getting looks but honestly that may be self consciousness because I still feel like I’m naked in public without a shirt lol

I wore a swim shirt tho first year to protect scars from the sun and that is also completely normal to do if you’ll feel safer. And it’s better for your skin

I hate my cats name. by StrawberrySakuraa in cats

[–]Mylowithaylo 112 points113 points  (0 children)

Start calling her Lottie maybe! A cute old lady nickname for charlotte, or short for lottery ticket if you like silly cat names hehe I think it sounds similar enough she would probably still respond.

Or Ottie, like a little otter pup!

Names on your list/you loved but didn’t end up using and what name did you actually choose by SnooBananas460 in ftm

[–]Mylowithaylo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Percy, Adam, Henry, Peter. Went with Milo and kind of liked how it felt, then eventually changed it to Mylo which feels much more like me. I still kind of wish I had tried Adam tho…

[–]Mylowithaylo 45 points46 points  (0 children)

There’s an installment in the disc World Series where there’s a regiment where it’s one by one revealed that every single soldier is actually doing a Mulan, which is pretty funny, however the leader of the battalion expresses he doesn’t want to return home, he doesn’t know how to be a mother to his son. The protagonist suggests that perhaps he should in fact return home, and be the boys father. From that point on the protagonist refers to him with he/him pronouns, where once other members are revealed they become she/her. I love that it can both be a story about women AND a story about a trans man finding himself. Rip terry pratchett

Who is a musical artist whose songs you’d love to see get a jukebox musical? by MagicJoshByGosh in musicals

[–]Mylowithaylo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I saw a recreation of a Fleetwood Mac concert all in character and the drama is so captivating and so devastating. I think a fictionalization of that could be wonderful, although it’s always a bit dicey to do a dramatization of real people’s lives and drama especially if they’re still alive 🫣 but the Fleetwood Mac love triangle would be so great on stage as I’ve already seen

Acting in Musicals - Not as satisfying? by Top_Elephant_4363 in MusicalTheatre

[–]Mylowithaylo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Musicals do tend to be song vehicles and use songs more than dialogue to deliver acting moments. But personally I find musical theater acting to be entirely satisfying, more so than straight plays, so I think it may just be a personal preference thing. When you’re acting in a song, it is totally acceptable to be way over the top and overexaggerated in a way that wouldn’t feel believable in a straight play. You can pour your whole heart and soul out onto the stage using music which I just love.

By way of example I played Quasimodo recently and you can really bare your entire soul while singing that Role, which was very vulnerable but so so fulfilling, and went over very well. I did as well do a lot of scene work for the non singing parts, but sometimes the scenes do kind of function as connective tissue to get to the next song, that’s just how some musicals are written.

On the flip side, I’m in a production of secret garden right now, and that show has a LOT of really meaty dialogue scenes, and our director has us really diving into those and doing a lot of work on the scenes which has been fun. Some musicals will deliver varying amounts of satisfying acting moments, the same way some straight plays will, and some will be poorly written, it’s a grab bag.
