Can We Talk About How Well Most Crane Wives Songs Fit The Life Series???

Not really an ask, but it's nice to see someone actually appreciating The Acolyte. It doesn't deserve all the hate it gets and, in my opinion, is an amazing show. So sad it got cancelled but at least we have some of it to cherish. Thank you for spreading the thankfulness for this amazing show!

Thank you so much for your comment! We're so happy to see that you love The Acolyte too. It really didn’t deserve all the hate it got! And yes, even though it was cancelled, we’re not giving up! We’re fighting for a season 2 💪✨ We have a website with different ways to help support the renewal savetheacolyte.com Honestly, The Acolyte fandom is just the sweetest 💫 Thank you so much for the support!! 💕

Two of my OC's, Solstice (left) and Eternal (right)

A dragon puppet I finished a couple nights ago! :D It is based on Gem’s red Secret Life skin because yes (more specifically, @lonksadventures’ version of it because I love that version)

All the lonely people,

where do they all come from?

All the lonely people…

where do they all belong?

(song - Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles) (but the version I had stuck in my head while drawing this was the cover by Cinematic Pop)

"Isn't this what you wanted?

Time sure feels like it's running out

Just finish what you started

Queen of nothing, wearing

Such a heavy crown"

(Song - Queen of Nothing by The Crane Wives)

For those of you who have read Scythe by Neal Shusterman AND know the Life series, hear me out here:

Scar as a Scythe. The man so afraid to kill now the one sentenced to bring death to every. Single. Person.

And his final test would be to redo Third Life, same ending fight and everything, except this time, he wins.

I don't care who does it, I just need this to exist 😭

So…Martyn’s latest Misadventures episode, huh?? The FLASHBACKS I had.

Martyn’s Misadventures episode “The Man of Many Guilds” (the latest one) spoilers ahead! The fact that Sausage warned Martyn that his death was going to be painful, but this was what was needed for Martyn to have permission to kill people?

The way that Martyn stood crouched with his head bowed as Sausage killed him, and how his last words before Sausage hit him were “this feels familiar”? Martyn was on the receiving end this time.

I’m going crazy.

I have an idea that I wanted to share!

What if Oli (OrionSound) isn't part of the Life series because he's actually one of the Watchers controlling it? Before you dismiss it hear me out:

In Jim's series Border Hoarder, Oli is so impulsive and acts almost EXACTLY the way that I imagine Watchers when he gets mad. Most of the time he's just a chill little guy, but when he gets mad, oh boy does he get mad.

Border Hoarder spoilers under cut read at your own risk!

There will also be occasions where he seems to slip out of his mask of innocence and act like someone or something completely different. For example, that one time where he stared at Jimmy while he had his back turned and said, and I quote, "Only one of us is gonna make it out alive, and it's gonna be me." What Oli‽ This series doesn't have one set winner?? And he said it in such a tone like he knew it as a pure fact and with such hatred...ahhhhhh. And the fact that it was directed at Jimmy too is crazy (CaNaRy~)

And that one time that Joel got an item before Oli did and Oli got so angry that he just went and killed them all (meaning Joel, Lizzie, and Jimmy). Joel tried to speak but he was never given a chance. Lizzie was silent. Jimmy tried to hide and, the moment he thought he'd convinced Oli to spare him, Oli turned around and killed him too. Now take note they all respawn but yet, the moment Jimmy is dead, Oli yells, "I HAVE WON! I'VE FINALLY WON!"

So definitely something Watcher-like going on.

In addition, he also voices the snails and trivia bots in Wild Life - the two NPCs with the highest kill counts.

Also I think Border Hoarder needs more appreciation lore-wise. There's so much to work with.

Anyways thus concludes my Oli Watcher rant. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Theatre tips!!

Just some helpful theatre tips from one theatre person to another to help you along your theatre journey :D

Line set, stage, and large props with glow tape! This is very important to keep your cast and crew safe during blackout. The best way to charge them is to move a flashlight back and forth on the tape, it only takes a few seconds.

If you're working backstage, make a list of scenes in order, what props/set pieces are involved, and who's moving them - this helps SO MUCH during dress rehearsals.

Have a crew meeting every rehearsal if possible to help keep communication up. This includes EVERYONE in crew (props, lights, sound, set, costumes, etc.)

Don't give up if you don't get a part you auditioned for! There are still so many ways to be involved and just because you did not get a role does not mean you can't act. Keep going.

You don't have to have any experience in technical theatre to join stage crew! You will learn very quickly and your directors will help you with anything.

Don't be afraid to be bossy, especially if you're in a leading position! You can have fun but you also need to keep things in line.

It is ok to be yourself. Don't let others define you.

Although you don't have to, try your best to learn as many names as you can. Even if that means referring to them as their role name. They will respond to it, lol. (I have started responding to "costumes")

IT IS OK TO CRY. Theatre means struggle. It means emotions and goodbyes. But it also means fulfillment and finding your people. It is ok to cry. <3

The sound goblins must have batteries for the microphones. Or else the sound goblins cannot do sound goblin things and people will be sad but they will be sad quietly. We want them to be sad loudly.

Feel free to add any more!

Is it just me or does Ren's area in exile look like an aged, rotted version of Dogwarts...?
