It's my birthday! 🤗 As per tradition, I'm humbly asking for some reposts of this or any other of my art today ❤️
Stylised bust paintings of characters from Severance. Irving is on the left looking thoughtfully to the viewer's left and wears his work attire: pale blue shirt, navy tie and vest. 

At the top Mark S is looking towards the viewer with a confused frown, mouth slightly open. He's wearing a navy blue suit and tie with a white shirt. 

On the right is Helly R, mouth slightly open, eyes wide and posture stunned as she looks to the viewer's left. She has a blue green dress on.

Dylan is at the bottom, brow scrunched and mouth open in confusion. He's wearing a dress shirt and jacket.Painterly portrait of a young androgynous Kender looking tired and lost in thought. They have a scrappy brown pixie cut, fair skin and bright, icy blue eyes ringed with dark circles. A scar marks their right cheek, and part of the ear on that side is missing. Their clothing is simple and practical: dark leathers and a forest-green cloak. They wear a gold button as a pendant.One half body painting of Luke in his Bespin outfit holding a blaster and looking vigilant. One sketchy black and white drawing of him in side profile looking left Stylised painting of Peter Falk as Columbo. He's in his mac and holding his trademark cigar. He looks go the viewer with a twinkle in his eye and knowing smile

Fun fact! If altos rehearse a line where they sing the same note 16 times in a row, the musical director *must* say “that was a very alto line.” If not, the muses curse them to seven years of having one singer come in prematurely at every performance.

I *was* going have my sapphic main character just reference the existence of a femme ex, but I could always just name her…

Listened to “The Long Day Closes” on repeat all day while I try to catch up on my choir’s repertoire. Only occurred to me much later that 8-hours straight listening to a song about death might be a little morbid…

Like HOW did you get everyone to suddenly be happy with talking animals in their midst? What about the witch-hunting mob? Could we not have a montage hinting that social change required work? Collaboration? It took more than one GOOD person in power to fix the problem of those two WICKED people?

At least the end of part one only messed up Defying Gravity (it’s a ballad, it must build to its crescendo, not be constantly interrupted by exposition)

3) while the character beats were spot on and made me cry at all the appropriate points, they done fucked up the political themes. Like the musical, there’s a big focus on propaganda, cults of personality and weaponising hate against minorities (i.e. fascism) 3/?

2) like part 1, this move succeeded in making Fiyero a viable love interest with depth. In the musical he comes across as an intermediary for Elphie and Glinda to project their very gay feelings onto for the sake of making the mostly straight audience comfortable. 2/?

Murderbot's pronoun is "it." But pronoun usage for it varies widely on the internet. This will be a thread about the funky things pronouns do for us and why they are so difficult to change on a linguistic and cognitive/neurological level. #Murderbot #pronouns
