It's good
Look, just assume that for this first scene, everyone is singing unless indicated otherwise. Also, listen to “Thneedville (Demo)” before reading, so you can know what they are actually singing. Btw, I didn’t write the song, I just planned out the stage directions and other details not related to lyrics.
Setting: Thneedville
(Lights slowly go up on an empty stage as the beginning of “Thneedville (Demo)” starts playing. On stage are the buildings and streets of Thneedville, or at least the basics. All the buildings are broken and crumbled, and everything is a slightly bleak color)
Ensemble
In Thneedville
It’s a brand new day
(As the ensemble begins to sing, they gradually enter the stage, acting out daily life. All are dressed in far too many clothes, and some are holding shopping bags filled to the brim with random objects)
Ensemble
Can’t see the sun
But we like it that way
(Ensemble pauses what they are doing before turning their heads towards the audience)
Ensemble
Here in Get-More-Than-We-Need-Ville
(All go back to what they were doing)
Ensemble
In Thneedville
Where the buildings are broke
(Where the buildings are broke)
And the streetlights drop
And the chemicals flow
Little Girl
(Standing front center stage) I just went swimming, and now I glow! (Runs offstage)
Ensemble
(All put their hands on over their hearts and face towards audience) Just one place has stayed the same
The hill that bares our founder’s name
A tradition we maintain
Random Man
Soon to become a pizza chain!
Ensemble
Pizza chain!
Pizza chain!
(Everyone goes back to what they were doing before Mr. O’Hare enters from upstage right and walks grandly over to upstage center, followed by a bodyguard. All turn to Mr. O’Hare)
Ensemble
(Cheerfully) Oh look it’s Aloysius O’Hare (Aloysius O’Hare)
The man who
Bottle up fresh air
And became a zillionaire!
(All lights on stage go off except for a spotlight on O’Hare, who has walked to center stage)
O’Hare
(To audience, as though telling a secret) Everyone round here works for me
I sell them something they should get for free
We’ll live in perfect harmony!
(All stage lights come back up and all surround O’Hare)
Ensemble
In Thneedville!
In Thneedville!
Hip hooray! Hip hooray! Hip hip hooray!
(All stage lights begin to go dark with the cast exiting the stage as a spotlight lands far downstage left, and Ted comes onstage to stand under the spotlight. Ted addresses audience for the rest of the song)
Ted
All I ever wanted is a whose-it
I would never flaunt it
Oh how I’d use it
Everybody has one
Like Jared and Julie and Jim
And even Ronald Shnook has one
And nobody’s lamer than him
(Lovingly) And I would play with it all day (Play with all day)
And never ever lose it (Never lose it)
Cause all I’ve ever wanted is a whose-it
(Hesitates) Except-
(Runs to downstage center, spotlight following him)
For the time that I wanted a scooter
A cell phone, a trombone, a laptop computer
A sports car, an SUV, robot that looks like me
A broadsword, a surfboard, a gas powered sled
Little pet monkey that danced on my head!
But this!
This is totally different!
Cause all I’ve ever wanted in my life
Is the stuff that I
Don’t have
(Stage lights come back up as the ensemble re enters stage and dance their instructed choreography. Ted doesn’t join them, instead staying in place as he looks straight at the audience or slightly upwards, depending on director’s instructions)
Ensemble
In Thneedville, it’s a brand new day!
Ted
All I ever wanted is the stuff that I don’t have!
Ensemble
Can’t see the sun
But we like it that way!
Here in Get-More-Than-We-Need-Ville!
Ted
Want it terribly!
Ensemble
In Thneedville!
Ted
Want it horribly!
Ensemble
You’re never alone
Ted
All I ever wanted is the stuff that I don’t have!
Ensemble
Because you always
Got the stuff that you own
Ted
Where is the stuff that I
Haven’t had?
Ensemble
Here in Spend-Until-You-Bleed-Ville!
Growing-Like-A-Weed-Ville!
Please-Don’t-Mention-Greed-Ville!
We’re happy here in
Thneedville!
Another Terence fanart i have to save for my fanfiction
Now the penny has sunk in for me, Germany has really always been alone and will be for longer
This is a snippet of a long one-shot I’m writing, imagining what would have happened if Germany was definitely not HRE and in fact now a day there were 3 Germanic brothers: Prussia, HRE and Germany (I’m NOT trying to be historically accurate here by any means). HRE would have gone back to Italy, and Germany would have met Italy as “his brother boyfriend”.
“Good Morning Germany” a musical, energetic voice grated against his ears, and Germany winced as he walked in the kitchen, realising the only other nation already awake in the house was North Italy.
Unusual, as the Italian was usually the last one up when he slept over.
Italy seemed to be cooking breakfast. The entire kitchen had a mouthwatering smell of croissants, there was a jar of Nutella on the counter, and the Southern European Nation was working on some scrambled eggs.
“Good Morning Italy” He replied politely, trying his best to not show how much he regretted walking in the kitchen at that very moment.
“Would you like some eggs?” Italy asked, adding what looked like bacon (Pancetta his brain corrected him, Italians do not eat bacon) to the eggs.
Germany wanted to say no, and was about to, when his stomach made a loud grumble. The food smelled amazing. Italy was not a perfectionist in many things, but damn he could cook anything.
Italy laughed at the sound. Musically, wonderfully, lifting his amber eyes to meet Germany’s light blue ones. A beautiful smile lit up his whole face. Germany immediately moved his gaze away from him. He could feel his cheeks starting to redden.
Italy did not wait for an answer, and quickly grabbed a plate from the kitchen cabinets to serve the German some eggs. Somehow he even pulled out freshly squeezed apple juice. “My favorite” Germany thought bitterly. He hated how the Italian knew him so well. But how could he not? He practically lived at their place.
“Here we go” Italy pushed a plate of perfectly scrambled eggs with pancetta and cheese, a piece of fresh baked bread and a glass of apple juice towards him.
Germany sat by the marble kitchen counter, eyes still avoiding the Italian at all cost.
“Danke schön” he murmured, starting to eat. Delicious.
“Why are you up so early?” He asked, sounding more accusatory than he meant to. Italy did not seem to mind his tone.
“Your brother has been working so hard this past month. He has been so busy managing all the EU meetings and the upcoming Holiday events… I wanted to spoil him on his first day off” Italy replied sweetly, turning on the heat under the coffee moka. “I’ll bring him his favorite breakfast in bed to start the day right”
Germany felt his own throat tighten, and he drank the apple juice quickly to think of any answer. “That’s…” He struggled for words “… nice” he concluded uncertainly. Gosh was he always this lame in the morning? “I hope so” Italy beamed, like he just complimented him with great enthusiasm rather than the monotone he used instead. The moka whistled. Italy poured 3 cups of espresso, putting one next to Germany’s apple juice.
“Well I’m off! Have a great run” Italy wished him warmly, pulling out the croissants from the oven and setting all the ready food on a platter before starting to head out of the kitchen.
Germany did not reply, but let his gaze linger on the retreating form of the Italian.
Really those short pyjama pants did nothing to hide his lean, long legs.
Lean, long legs that were walking straight to his brother’s bedroom…
He swallowed a piece of bread, feeling himself blush again and forcing his gaze back to the eggs.
He was not hungry anymore. Let me know what you think. PS- English is NOT my first language. I welcome all grammar correction as long as you’re polite about it ;)
I heard about Night Vale while watching Hedgehog's nonsense video from months ago, so not really a fan or had listened to it before but the existence is known
