C’mon Babe, Why Don’t We Paint The Town…

To the friend that single-handedly threw me back into the Professor Layton fandom by bringing it up one car ride?

You are simultaneously the best and worst person I’ve ever met /j



Seeing as y’all love my RTC content so much

BOOM! RTC Pumpkin

Y’all I don’t care who sees this, Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva is a BANGER film

“And all of this is captured by the greedy eyed photographer who stalks me like a vulture!” -Nick Carraway, The Met

(Non Text Version and ramblings under the cut)

Back to our regularly scheduled Gatsby Posting as of late. This time the song of inspiration is The Met from The Great Gatsby Musical! I would be a lying fool if I said the symbolism in this song has not had an iron grip on my writer brain from the very start. I adore the blatant spotlight it places on Nick and his constant being overshadowed and almost hunted by those around him throughout the story. Seriously, whoever wrote these lyrics, you are great. Also Noah J Ricketts an absolutely amazing Nick I just have to say that. I will absolutely be continuing to loop this soundtrack and am actively trying to plan a trip to NY to see the show live because if I don’t my sorry English nerd self will perish. Until my next post!

Okay so-

Daydreaming? 10/10

Being suddenly pulled back into reality and into a loud ass bar? 0/10

Oh intense daydreaming, my favorite coping mechanism, how I’ve missed thee

I MADE A WHOLE ASS PUPPET

🖤💛 “THIRD OR NOTHING!!!” 💛🖤

Finally another full out for me to post lmao. This piece is my thank you and love letter to my first show of my current drama season: PUFFS! A hilarious Harry Potter Parody, this show has grown to be one of my all time favorite comedies now. The plot is entertaining, the characters lovable, and the final message a strong one. I’m going to miss this play so very much and will forever be grateful for my chance to play Megan Jones with this amazing cast. I hope this silly thing can help portray all the love I have for this show and our cast that I cannot put into words. Thank you, Puffs, for everything.

Also, because I have to say this now, DO NOT REPOST MY STUFF.

An explanation has been asked of me and so I shall deliver. So here go my thoughts behind Mischa’s doodle in my most recent RTC post. Enjoy :)

So it’s been said that in the (absolutely genius) Ghost Au the choir can and does try to protect Penny from the bullying she receives at school, yes? Well the moment I heard that my brain immediately pictured a certain scenario, one which I had Mischa draw out because it would look kickass and I think he’d enjoy it. Said scenario goes a little something like this-

Penny’s getting bullied and the choir isn’t having it. First it’s small things: knocked over supplies, slammed lockers, a shove or two, things like that. However as they gain more power they’re able to do more. For example, passing whispers telling the bullies to quit it while Penny isn’t around, flickering lights and shadow apparitions, appearing in mirrors, etc. Penny remains mostly in the dark about these things, or at least most of the motive behind them, only really hearing about them through rumors and stories from classmates. Until of course it all comes to a head and the choir full on appears behind her when she’s cornered by two random classmates. I, an avid horror fan might I add, like to imagine that it’s not just them either, but rather a more gruesome image of them that’s in a way similar to how they looked after the accident. Seriously terrifying shit, which just so happens to be the goal. Perhaps they say something along the lines of “leave her alone”, maybe they just stare, they could ever cause some poltergeist havoc by slamming some lockers and popping a lightbulb or something- whatever it is, it terrifies the kids and they take off screaming. It clicks with Penny moments later that they saw the choir and ohhhh shit. The entire school knows about it by the next day, as you’d expect, half believing the two students and spreading a rumor about Penny having some connection to the dead while the other half call bullshit. Either way it’s very interesting for Penny as she tries to A) process what happened, B) dodge the rumors and whispers, and C) deal with a rather excited choir that want to test this “new ability”

TL:DR- the choir goes full ‘horror movie ghosts’ on two particularly bad bullies and Penny has to stop them from causing more chaos before her classmates burn her at the stake

More Gatsby Reincarnation AU bullshit while I work on a piece for the show I’m in rn:

It’s a long ahh list so here’s a cut to save ur dash :)

Gatsby and Daisy absolutely love Grease. Yes the movie. Yes they force everyone to watch it at least once every four-or-so months during group movie night, yes they sing the whole thing

Everyone begrudgingly has their song in Grease. Jordan’s is Danny’s part in summer nights (with Gatsby as Sandy funny enough), Tom’s is Greased Lightning, Jay’s is Raining on Prom Night (although Daisy joins him 90% of the time), Daisy’s is There Are Worse Things I Could Do, and Nick’s is Beauty School Dropout!

Nick has the voice of an angel. Literally. First time he really sang Beauty School Dropout left everyone floored

For my fellow Natsby Shippers: Already was Jay entranced by Nick’s voice, but things got worse when Nick turned his performance of said song above on him during their obligatory watch. Dude bluescreened hard and it took a minute before they could continue the movie

Speaking of movie nights, the gang does movie nights! With how available it is nowadays why not? Sometimes it’s twice a month, sometimes it’s once, sometimes it’s every other month. Really just depends on how often they can

Meyer is here too everyone! He’s a teacher at a nearby high school (although you’re a fool to think that’s his only job). While he originally taught economics, he got roped into using his double major to teach English. Specifically Junior Year. The Great Gatsby unit is always awkward

Nick has a Tumblr! He’s flat out said multiple times on said blog that he is Nick Carraway reincarnate. Through some simple proofs his followers have accepted that yup, that’s Nick Carraway back from the grave. It’s like how we have Neil Gaiman here, but with Nick.

Jordan has a blog too, but only to fuck with Nick. That’s it, that’s the only reason. Their followers love watching them fight online lmao

Nick uses his blog to update everyone on the gang and answer questions. Yes, TGG was gay. So is he. He’s answered this a million times can we get a new question please??

One of Meyer’s students showed him said blog, at which point his student teacher George Willows (Wilson) pointed out that he knew Nick back in high school and offers to set up a meeting

That meeting was awkward as fuck. Nick and George just stared at each other, both knowing, until George ran out of the room, at which point Meyer took to testing Nick. The two shot references back and forth until Nick cracked

Nick has a therapist. He was pushed to get one after a rather bad crack in his own mind after Jay remembered (I’ll explain in a minute). He tiptoed around his real problem for ages, not wanting to be seen as insane (again), until his therapist asked him one day about a book. See its uncut pages? Do you know what that means, Nick?

Boy was it a relief to be able to actually talk about his struggles with reincarnation after that

(TW: Derealization, just in case) Nick’s Mental Crack, as mentioned above, happened on his first birthday after Jay remembered everything. He vanished for a few days, only to be found unresponsive by his friends. When he finally did respond, it was only to repeat that they (the gang) weren’t real, something drilled into him from his time at the sanatorium and his last 60-ish years of isolation in his first life. For a few more days he did little more than stare into the bathroom mirror, repeat that phrase, or gently touch at his eyes. When he finally did come to, the first thing he did was turn to Jay and ask “Is this real?” There was. A lot of crying from all parties following. And therapy.

Listen, dealing with grief in the 20s already sucked. He got sent to a sanatorium for Christ’s sake! That, paired with what I imagine to have been spending the last 60+ years of his life in self isolation AND being the first to remember their past lives? That ain’t easy man. He could use a little help

He does get better tho. Things get easier. Maybe a little too easy because one day, when a mutual friend(s) of all of theirs outright stops them and asks if they’re the reincarnated cast of Gatsby, he just says yes. Straight up. “Yup. Took you that long?”

Meanwhile everyone else (except for Jordan honestly) is trying to deny it and failing miserably

Back to movies and film! Nick likes Sci-fi things alongside historical stuff that he can laugh at being wrong, Jay enjoys romance (specifically shit like the Bachelor tell me I’m wrong-), Jordan is a fan of of mysteries, Daisy enjoys horror films purely because of the kickass final girl most of them have alongside a fair share of musicals, and Tom likes Sports films like Happy Gilmore and Benchwarmers

To my fellow Natsby ppl again: Gatsby is shorter than Nick. Was back in the 20s and is now! When hugging or cuddling, Nick could absolutely smother Jay. He is a small fella, very holdable

Every time they rewatch the 2013 Gatsby, Jordan has a tendency to say either “that’s gay” or “that’s homophobic” at respective times. Nick keeps a tally on how many times she says each every watch

And that’s all I think I have again for now. Thanks again for @writerinconstantcrisis for helping with most of these and this AU as a whole really. Until next time nerds!

Someone ask me abt the Fnaf Trailer/Lore I’m begging you
