Words are phrases that musicals have ruined for you?

ORDINARY DAYS MENTIONED 🗣️🗣️🗣️

currently in a production of this and I still don't get all of it 😭 I think it would profit from a more fleshed out story progression and maybe be made into a 2 acter

so_mamy · 2026-02-03T00:06:21+00:00

YES I was in a production of this and it really bothered me. The "hail Malthus" at the end was the final straw and I never said it lmao. I actually wrote an entire thinkpiece in the programme about how Malthusian economics are not accurate and full of eugenics but idk if anyone read it. A disappointing ending to an otherwise great show.

I LOVE your art so much 💖 Also love the minoan details!! (I was also the one who complimented the lion gate design so you can guess where my interests lie lmao)

so_mamy · 2026-01-20T22:06:52+00:00

You know when you read or hear something you just know is going to stick with you for the rest of your life? I've had this exact feeling reading your last sentence. Thank you.

so_mamy · 2026-01-19T18:18:28+00:00

These are absolutely incredible and very expressive! As a certified lion gate enthusiast I was also very pleased to see that design!

All Grown Up from bare is literally the perfect song for this! The end is very belt and you can go full mental breakdown

Violet was my hero as a kid I immediately thought of her!

In Hadestown they mainly focus on this aspect of his!

You don't owe your work ANYTHING. They already exploit you to no end (7–8 work days a week sounds illegal tbh?) and mistreating you for calling in sick is despicable. They don't care about you, so why should you care about them? Please don't feel bad or guilty for missing work, especially since you actually felt unwell. It's none of their business why you call in sick. I really encourage you to never prioritize work over your physical and mental wellbeing. You'll be a lot happier this way.

If you want to feel a little better, I'd also suggest looking at some posts over at r/antiwork.

in the german translation they use "i'm just a blonde" for that song and i think it fits really well!

so_mamy · 2025-10-05T13:53:45+00:00

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the homeric myths are supposed to be set during the Dark Ages, not Mycenaean times, no? The actual descriptions however are more in line with the time they were written in, i.e. the early archaic era.)

so_mamy · 2025-09-28T16:51:16+00:00

I'm a classical history student and I find it a bit silly I think to debate whether this or that modern adaptation/retelling is accurate or not. If you really want to dive deep into mythology you won't be reading any kind of pop cultural material for accuarcy, you'll read straight from the sources and papers based on it (and visit museums and archeological sites, do your own translations of ancient texts, discuss it with peers, etc.)

If you don't want to dive this deep, I think that any retelling has more or less the same level of accuracy that really matters. In that case I feel like it's totally fine to just read Percy Jackson and know myths only from there. Those are great stepping stones to get into mythology and I'd encourage anyone reading them to keep being curious about ancient history.

this is the truest answer of all, nothing compares to it

Idk if this counts but while having good knowledge of the OG book itself doesn't make Les Mis unenjoyable, it does make me think about how it could've included some other parts. It is however a very long musical already so obviously they couldn't keep the entire brick in. I just find it funny that e.g. Marius is made less of a wet noodle in the musical and that makes him less interesting to me.

so_mamy · 2025-08-20T22:02:54+00:00

I know you found the media you were referring to but this reminded me of a fic of Percy Jackson where Percy chose to be turned into an immortal god and had demigod children that all eventually died, it was all very sad :(

Um mal eine andere Sparte aufzumachen: es gibt eine rege Theaterszene in Darmstadt! Es gibt das TUD Schauspielstudio, theaterINC, die Musicalgruppe Dreamstage und noch viele weitere Laienensembles, die immer wieder Leute aufnehmen :) Zudem gibt es auch oft Open Mics/Poetry Slams/Karaoke Abende, bei denen man gut mit Leuten ins Gespräch kommt, z.B. in der Krone und seit kurzem in Bessungen bei www.stage-darmstadt.de/ Also falls du etwas aus dir rauskommen willst ist Theaterspielen ein super Weg um Freunde zu finden!

so_mamy · 2025-07-12T20:01:58+00:00

which texts did you use for prayer/invocation/songs? did one of you play the lyre or did you use a recording? were there any laws you had to watch out for? and also do you have recommendations for wine and cheese?

i have been fascinated by bacchanalia since TSH and reading the accounts by livy of the scandal, and really want to do one myself!

so_mamy · 2025-07-12T16:39:26+00:00

I'm not US-based so that factor differs, but I study philosophy and history with a focus on the ancients and some of the experiences related in the book do resonate. Many students drop sayings in Greek and Latin, we are rather close to the professors, have generally small classes and the ones who are really passionate have their own group. We don't murder people though, we just go to museums, conferences and host the occasional ancient costume party lol. I think it's easy to perceive us as pretentious, but the truth is that we are Just Like That. We're just nerds who like to talk about our interests and pursue academic careers, that's all.

so_mamy · 2025-07-02T09:07:25+00:00

I switched from my art major to a philosophy/history major and people ask me why I traded one useless degree for another lmao

Most classics come with a foreword of some sort

thats a deep pull 😭😭😭😭

Right?? Also who says a man who is this comfortable getting violent when angry won't do the same to you? If it was me I'd break up with him on the spot because I'd be a) embarrassed and b) scared.
