Think of all the things you could be doing. Outside. In the real world. Yeah, me too.
I AM SO ANGRY!!!
ABOUT PEOPLE FUCKIN’ FLIPPIN’ OUT OVER THE FACT THAT SOME WOMEN CHOOSE NOT TO SHAVE BECAUSE IT MAKES THEM FEEL COMFORTABLE AND THEY REALLY DO NOT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT SOCIETIES BULLSHIT BEAUTY STANDARDS
U KNOW WHAT? I LIKE BEING COMPLETELY SHAVED EVERYWHERE, THAT’S OKAY!!! SOME...
i see all these posts around here that are like “date someone who…” and all that’s fine and good but like i feel like they focus on cutesy stuff and leave some really important stuff out. so like yes, date someone who you can watch netflix with and pet dogs with and make waffles with but also
basically date someone who’s going to be with you, not just worship you. and more importantly, be this person for your SO. do not put them on a pedestal and call it love.
Do I have to bring this back?

Backstory:
Hungarian Musical Theatre was in its very early stages, even by the time Les Mis opened in 1985. One of the biggest movements into advancing musical theatre in Hungary was when the “Rock Theatre” opened and started a musical program in, I think it was 1980. Interestingly enough, this theatre brought together pop singers, rock singers (well known and unknowns), and put them through basic theatre training courses (dance, diction etc.)
They staged non-replica, large scale productions of a variety of the newest, or most popular shows such as Evita, Cats, Hair, JCS, and in 1987 they got the rights to do Les Mis.
Vikidal Gyula, the man you hear in this clip, was a popular rock vocalist in his earlier years and by this point was participating in the “Rock Theatre”, having previously performed in Mr. Mistoffelees in Cats, Peron in Evita, and Pilate in JCS. His voice had always been rough but his untrained rock screaming kind of tore any semblance of what he should have to pieces. So by the time he got to theatre, he had…nothing. But, being a popular name and a charismatic performer none the less, he got roles.
Now, his range…if you wanna refer to it as range, would technically be baritone and he usually took on baritone roles. But being a rock singer, if there was anything out of his natural range he’d just scream it.
For some reason, he was given Valjean when they staged Les Mis. The vocally-dead baritone got a tenor role. This wouldn’t be nearly as bad if it weren’t for the fact that their Judas, Pal Makrai, a very capable and wonderful singing tenor (up to D5), got Javert. I’ve often wondered if there was just a mix up on the cast list but they rolled with it anyway for fun.
Anyway, Vikidal was like this THE WHOLE SHOW. It wasn’t just this song. It was the entire show. And it is painful to listen to. I don’t know why they let that happen. But oh well. According to Cameron Mackintosh it was ‘edgy’.
Vikidal Gyula’s popularity in musicals has slightly waned in recent years, but he actually came back to Les Mis years later in the role he should have gotten from the start, Javert, when he sang a lot more comfortably (doesn’t mean good). And this coming year he will finally come full circle as he takes on the only role his voice has left, The Bishop.
Fun stuff.
@incognito-magneto I CRY EVERY TIME,

I hate you.
Things that don’t make you less of a feminist:
Part of feminism isn’t just proving that women are strong and capable it’s also admitting that women can be awful and disgusting. It’s the flip side of destroying the ‘women are delicate angels’ myth. Don’t pretend women don’t beat, murder, and rape. They do. And stop glorifying women who do god awful things just because they do it in heels and lipstick ok that drug cartel woman is not someone you should be idolizing.

Yes. 10000x thank you.
Rejecting femininity is seen as a cool and radical thing to do. Femme-ness is consequently labeled conformist and unimportant. According to this logic, femmes are eye candy, but we don’t really have anything interesting to say. In case there was any doubt about this, let me clarify: just because I wear makeup and heels does not mean I’m brainless, unaware of my actions, and unwittingly conforming to patriarchal expectations. I have not failed to deconstruct my internalized whatever-the-fuck. I am not waiting for you, oh great masculine-of-center queer person to save me by showing me the error of my ways.
