6 Tips for Crossing the Road
Look both ways
The road is for cars.
Make sure to look for them before crossing. Even when you have the right of way, cars have a lot of safety features and you have none.
Use designated crosswalks
The road is for cars.
So is the crosswalk but, under brief and temporary conditions, you can use it too! Never jaywalk, never walk in the road, just hope there is a clear and functional sidewalk.
Cross at the light
The road is for cars.
There are rules and signs for them, but that can only go so far. Walk quickly and hold your breath and hope that the light doesn't turn. Make eye contact with drivers as their cars teem with potential energy, rumbling with disdain at the inconvenience of your crossing. Try to ignore the cloud of exhaust that you are in and they are above.
Leash your pets
The road is for cars.
Obviously.
To you, it may be natural to sacrifice so much space to them but to your dog, it is not. His instinct is to explore freely. You must curb it. Modern US car models have such high hoods that the average child, let alone dog, is obscured. Even on the sidewalk, hold the leash tight because the sidewalk (if you are so blessed) is next to the street and the threat still looms.
Look out for road kill
The road is for cars.
And no one was there to leash the deer.
Or the raccoon.
Or the cat.
Did you know that the most reliable sample method for wildlife in an area is looking at the roadkill?
Remember these tips
The road is for cars.
Cars are everywhere. In the city. In the suburbs. In the country. In the woods (the US Forest Service manages more roads than the entire Ministry of Transit in China.) Cars are everywhere because there are roads to bring them there, which is great if you are a car and want to get from place to place fast without worrying about the in-between.
Unfortunately, you are not a car.
You are an animal.
You are in-between.
So remember to look both ways.
does o’hare get a new design in this because he stole edna mode’s in the illumination film.
also imagine the once-ler starting off with his whole face showing, but as the musical goes on he starts to cover more and more of his face: first a pair of sunglasses, then a thneed as a scarf, but as the valley gets more and more polluted he starts to use it to cover his nose and mouth, and somewhere along the way his shades get replaced with goggles to keep the smog away from his eyes. like that would be so cool
This is my rough outline of a stage musical based on The Lorax, the book, special and movie. It’s heavily inspired by and will include these demo songs on the film soundtrack that were cut from the final product, so please listen to them before reading.
I think the 1972 animated special is a pretty perfect adaptation of the book on its own. Here I aim to preserve its strengths and redeem the elements with potential that the painfully shallow, mediocre film added, fumbled and wasted, because my obsessive, autistic brain couldn’t pose the question “But what if The Lorax (2012) was good?” without attempting to answer it.
Comments and questions about the outline and my creative process are incredibly welcome!
she’s worth waiting for.
FRANZISKA IS THAT YOU???

if i had a nickel for every time i saw in fiction a blue younger sister and a red older brother where they both struggle with perfectionism and pressure from their father figure, and the red brother had emotional and/or physical damage done to him by his father figure but gets redeemed while the blue sister not so much and her character kinda just gets left behind? i’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?

fanfic writing culture isn’t “oh dang! I wanted to write about this prompt with this character but someone else already wrote it, so now I can’t”.
fanfic writing culture is always “two cakes is better than one. the more the merrier. there can ever be enough fics of this character with this prompt!”
