How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer.  —The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)

Yeah, Les Mis you just have to admit defeat at some point.

guide to singing along to musicals alone

Be More Chill: sing along to ALL the instrumentals.

The Book of Mormon: passionately yell the lines. Then glance out the window awkwardly to make sure no one’s listening. Then resume passionately yelling. Awkwardly go quiet when you hear people passing your door. Repeat.

Dear Evan Hansen: two modes: either humming the songs peacefully to yourself or jumping to your feet, perfectly executing the “Sincerely, Me” dance and also doing all of Ben Platt’s physical tics and waiting for your Tony.

Falsettos: *singing along happily for hundredth time* *abruptly stops* What does that line even mean

Hamilton: there is literally only one way to do it: singing along to all the parts at once and incorporating all the furniture in the room for maximum effect.

The Last Five Years: have a hundred tabs open with the lyrics. It would be one of the easiest musicals to sing along to alone if there weren’t so many goddamn words.

Les Misérables: reconcile yourself to the fact that it’s physically impossible to sing along to all the parts. You gotta just pick a character to sing with. Which is actually fine, because most Les Mis fans have this one character that’s “their” character. And there’s probably only one character who’s in your range, anyway. I mean, you can try to sing along to all the parts, but prepare to get absolutely slaughtered in “One Day More.”

Newsies: whatever you do, just don’t try to dance along. Please.

Next to Normal: *singing along happily for hundredth time* *abruptly stops* Whoa. That line is really clever/weird/sad/beautiful.

The Phantom of the Opera: AHHHHH aaahhhh ahhhh ahhhHHHH SING MY ANGEL OF MUSIC AHHHH ahhhh ahhh hahhhHHHHH sing mY ANGEL ahhh hahhhhhhh ahhhhHHHHH SING FOR MEEEE AHHHHH HHHHHHHH HAHHHHH HHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SING MY ANGEL HHHHHHHH Ś̹̗̝̠̫I͓̻̰̲N̢̠͕G̦̬͟ ̲F̳̫̦̜̭̰O͙̹̪͕̞͉͟R̩̭̦ ̛̠͚̰M̫͍̬͇͈̖EE̖̙̬̳̞̞̹È̖E͈EE͏E̗̞̲͍̰̕E̗̙̬̻̭Ḛ̫͉̗̜ aaʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰ

Rent: ALL the air guitar.

Spring Awakening: *forgets lyric* 🎶 lonely grass purple horses hay bale 🎶

Waitress: wait until “I Didn’t Plan It” and “She Used to Be Mine,” and then let out YEARS of pain and sadness

Wicked: *searches on YouTube* how to belt

This is such a good point!!!

I find it kinda odd how people talk about writing “flawed” characters like the flaws are an afterthought

Like “cool cool we’ve got this perfect hero now to just sprinkle on some Irritability and Trust Issues then microwave for 6 minutes on high until Done”

But I’ve personally found it feels a lot more useful to just… think of the flaws as the Good Traits except bad this time

The protagonist is loyal? Maybe that means they have a hard time recognizing toxic relationships and are easily manipulated by those they want to trust

The hero is compassionate? Maybe they work too hard and overextend themselves trying to help people and then they refuse to ask for help when they need it themselves for fear of burdening others

They’re dedicated to their ideals? Maybe they’re also too stubborn to know when to quit and they have trouble apologizing for their mistakes

If they’re creative, they can also be flighty. If they’re confident, they can be arrogant. If they’re brave, they might be reckless. If they’re smart, they could be condescending. Protective can become controlling, and someone who’s carefree could very well also be emotionally distant

In my opinion, the best “flaws” aren’t just added on afterwards. The best flaws are baked in deep, ‘cause they’re really just virtues turned upside down

Poem

"The World"

(original poem)

Sometimes I look at the world

And I see that it is hideous.

I see a girl typing offensive messages behind a screen,

Knowing no one will know it was her.

I see a boy making jokes about a group of people

When his classmate is part of that group.

I see a girl being told that she “asked for it”

Because her skirt was “too short.”

I see a boy forbidden from being himself

Because he was born a “girl.”

I see a couple keeping their relationship a secret

Because their love is illegal.

I see children torn from their parents and siblings

For coming to a safer place.

I see students huddling in the corner of their classroom,

Hiding from the armed man in the hallway.

I see people who believe that others should not be alive

Because they are different.

I see chaos, hate, prejudice, sadness.

I see all of this, and I think, “The world is hideous.”

Sometimes I look at the world

And I see that it is beautiful.

I see a girl placing her lunch next to a girl she’s never spoken to,

But who looks lonely.

I see a boy standing up to defend his friend

When someone is bullying him.

I see a girl shaving her head and donating her hair

To raise money for cancer.

I see a boy tutoring a younger student at school

And helping him to understand.

I see a family with a raft rescuing their neighbors

From the roof of their flooded house.

I see a group of students organizing a clothing drive

For children who need it more than they do.

I see an act of kindness on the street

That may make a world of difference to one person.

I see celebrations of identity, heritage, and pride,

And people who are unafraid to be who they are.

I see peace, love, acceptance, joy.

I see all of this, and I think, “The world is beautiful.”

Agreed! I loved most of the Love Simon movie, but that part really bothered me. I like the way the book portrayed it better.

simon’s friends tried to treat their dumb straight people drama to simon being outed to their entire school and then proceeded to show ZERO empathy towards their friend who had just undergone an incredibly traumatic experience like yeah sure he lied! but nick and abby still end up together and simon’s gay so there was never any chance for him and leah anyway slkfsjdlfkjs

AND THEN they proceeded to not talk to him for what??? days?? weeks?? even when he was the victim of homophobic bullying in front of a whole crowd of people. and then when they decided simon was cool again they didn’t even apologise they just went “want to go to the fairground? :)” as if they hadn’t just ditched their friend through one of the worst periods of his life what the fuck

Theatre kids hearing the start of “Seasons of love” is the equivalent to emo kids hearing the g note in “welcome to the black parade”

This is honestly the best AU I've ever seen in any fandom

Stormlight AU where instead of wars they have iceskating competitions

No ok but seriously:

- Instead of racing for gem hearts, the alethi high princes battle it out with their synchronized skating teams

- Team Sadeas skating to Look Down from Les Mis

- I think it was mentioned somewhere that there was slightly less gravity on Roshar so like, people doing quintuple jumps and quad axels

- Adolin challenging people to singles matches for their shard blades (i.e. their skate blades)

- Ardents are the judges in the VSU (Vorin Skating Association)

- Wind spren sticking peoples tow picks to the ice and making them faceplate during spirals

- Renarin can’t jump for shit but he’s a genius choreographer

- Instead of rediscovering Storm form, the listeners rediscover dance form. The reason everyone is so scared of them is because HOW THE HELL ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO BEAT THEM IN SYNCHRONIZED SKATING IF THEY CAN LITERALLY HEAR THE RYTHMS PERFECTLY IN TIME

- Sadeas makes a bunch of teams work themselves to the bone.

- Kaladin’s team, Team 4, is just like, fuck that I’m out

- Amaram took credit for Kaladin’s choreography and Kaladin was like, fuck that I’m out

- Jasnah is basically the queen of women’s singles free skating

- YOUR FAVES DOING PAIRS

- Dalinar bullying the Stormfather into coaching for him

I could go on but you get the idea

Martin Luther King Jr. portrait drawn with Prismacolor pencils in 6 hours.

So I was listening to the Shardcast about the love triangle between Shallan, Kaladin and Adolin, and someone pointed this out. At this point in Oathbringer, on page 1201, Kaladin is talking about Shallan and the fact that "she reminds me of someone." While we aren't given a direct answer as to who that someone is, the next page starts off with Syl saying "That's a nice rock" and Kaladin saying something nerdy and specific about that rock. Who did Kaladin care about who loved rocks? Tien.

WoK was released in 2010

WoR was released in 2014

OB was released in 2017

Book 4 is planned to be released in 2020

If Brandon continues at this rate, the 10th book will be released between 2038 and 2045. Brandon Sanderson will be 70 in 2045. I will be 42. So young people reading the series now will end up with a basically lifelong journey with our Rosharan friends.

I wrote a long essay about my thoughts on Oathbringer, so enjoy this extensive nerdy paper! Spoilers included!!!

This is by far the strangest and yet the most amazing Cosmere post I have ever seen.

Legitimate Oathbringer Theories

Dalinar feels the knights radiant has too many bad connotations so renames them the power rangers.

Adolin is excluded from the power rangers and in his anger bonds with the sticks spren creating an 11th order

Renarins shard is an electric guitar

Wayne

Drehys love interest turns out to be every single member of bridge four and also the stormfather

Kaladin is happy

As surgebinding seems to be semihereditary, every single one of lopens cousins becomes a radiant, aka every herdazian alive

Shallan punches odium, very very hard

Vivenna is shalash????

Lift eats her first chicken and her second chasmfiend

Exactly three people die in the cosmere during the course of this book

One of which is waxs great grandma, the oldest person in the cosmere who has not meddled with immortality

Szeth joins renarins band (as drums) though he wants to rename the genre something other than rock

Rysn bonds with the nightwatcher, and the larkin grants her every form of investiture in the cosmere except jindoeese dance

I cry

Shallan is introduced to hot chocolate

Wit reuses a joke (and steals a couple of waynes)

Jasnah and kelsier fight each other over who’s apprentice/ward/daughter figure is better, wax wins despite not being in the contest

Shallan becomes an honour student at the Silverlight university, and is the ace of both the basketball and pokemon team (this may or may not be down to lightweaving)

There is a stick chapter

We find out hoids real name and four new pseudonyms, but not which are which

Wayne joins renarins band and they are called the stone shamans

Szeth is not impressed

Taln goes on holiday to shinovar and the purelake

Galladon meets with vasher and kaladin to form a rival band called the grouches

2+2=pickle

All the death rattles turn into lyrics from the stone shamans

Navani invents a fabrial which is extremely similar to a microwave, and makes billions profit

The stone shamans are the favourites to win roshars got talent, but it is snatched away by eshonai doing contemporary dance

Odium is quelled by the discovery of hot chocolate
