Lautski Week: Day 7 (Morning)

A reminder that Glinda having either dyslexia/dysgraphia or a learning disability is canon in the Movieverse.

This is the same paper that we see her get back in this scene, in which we can see this was a large essay too.

There's nothing rushed to her handwriting, this was not an essay done at the last minute, and still, it shows several signs of a learning disability and/or dysgraphia.

Misspells her name in the second line

Wrong and inconsistent pronoun usage

Her margin spacing is consistent with someone who can't do proper syllable division

Immature transcription (see: writes her "um"s)

Limited vocabulary

Shows signs of: difficulty expressing ideas in writing, having a limited vocabulary, mispronouncing words or using a wrong word that sounds similar, and having trouble organizing what she wants to say. Those are all symptoms of a learning disability.

Less of a checklist sign, but her handwriting is very round and careful, while still not being consistently sized (see unfashionable). This and the margin sizes are very common in kids with bad dysgraphia who are made to take rigorous calligraphy courses to "fix the problem". Courses that work on the visual without remedying its underlying issues and causes. Form over content if you will.

Looking at this very blatant sign that she has a learning disability and immediately defaulting to calling her names (yes calling her stupid and saying Elphaba is a moronsexual for this counts), asking how she got into Shiz, or defending Dillamond in doing the very first thing teachers are told NOT to do with disabled students (re: calling attention to it in front of the entire class) is ableist!

Quick, don’t think about the fact that the Baker was told he had a sister right at the beginning of into the woods, and maybe when all of the destruction was over he might have put the pieces together and realized that he lost someone before he’d even met her.

Don’t think about the fact that Rapunzel died before ever knowing she had a brother and that a relationship like that (the kind that didn’t want anything out of her) could have majorly helped her in the long run.

Don’t think about the fact that the devastation in the play doesn’t just tear apart already existing relationships but also relationships that could have been.

I pushed myself with this one. Starkid: Cinderella's Castle

Based off the song "Neon"

Think of it this way: the crowdfunding is all for the show. It’s to buy props, and set pieces, and costumes, and even to reserve the venue, and stuff like that.

The digital ticket is for the actors. This pays the actors for their time and effort, so that they can keep a roof over their head and food on the table and so that they want to come back to do more shows in the future.

They can’t use crowdfunded money to pay the actors because they need as much of it for the show as possible. Not only for cool props and stuff but also for if anything breaks, or if there’s any other last minute things they need to worry about.

If starkid put their stuff straight into YouTube without doing things like digital ticketing they would start losing money fast, and future shows would be harder to create.

I know it’s hard, but have faith that these guys aren’t just putting up paywalls for no good reason :)

Just in case anyone was hoping to watch Star Baby on the 8th without a digital ticket, you can't <33

Every now and then I’m absolutely baffled by actors and what they can do.

Especially starkid actors.

Like, you’re telling me that:

This is a set of three people who are not related to each other???

This is voiced by a guy with a mic off stage???

This woman isn’t having the most horrifying day of her life?????

You’re telling me this is not a pipe??

Thank you but I don’t believe it
