Ideas for plays/ musicals

A show about a small group of people stuck in an elevator. The set has this little box with the people on it, but the techies/ stagehands just hang out onstage around them just walking around to be the people not stuck in the elevator.

House MD the musical (no I have not seen house MD)

A musical that takes the audience through the main character’s life by going through the various journals they’ve had while growing up. The songs come from the poetry they’ve written. So the first few songs are clearly written by children and the last few are more technically complicated. Ensure the final song ends on the same melody the first song started on because yes.

A show about a kid with a terminal illness from the perspective of their stuffed animal like that one book about the boy with scarlet fever and his stuffed bunny

Something where two characters are seperated and we can only hear one side of an incomplete duet that sounds super weird, but at the end when they’re reunited the song comes together for the first time.

Something with a baritone who can’t belt super high but can’t sing super low but still sings- please my voice is tired give me roles I can sing

Something that includes a group of people who all think they’re the only normal person in the group. Opening song where they all sing that line at once.

Adding on, a musical where everyone thinks it’s weird they’re all singing, like in The Guy Who Doesn’t Like Musicals, except everyone finds it weird, including the people who are singing.

A show from the POV of a therapist, where every patient who comes in seems worse than the one before, and they all mysteriously mention something that popped up in a previous session or who’ll pop up in an upcoming one until the therapist realizes all their patients know each other- but they’re all related in the weirdest ways like ‘my patient with BPD walks my autistic patient’s dog, and her coworker with anxiety is my patient too. And he’s dating my patient whose kids are all leaving Highschool, and one of those kids is best friends with my BPD patient.’

Please add on

Just saw a video and the House MD musical BETTER have mobility device choreography that would be impossible for those who don’t know how to use the device. I wanna see wheelchair flips and shit. I want Lady Gaga and Kendrick Lamar’s choreographers to come in and make the BEST dances for this

Can you imagine how different LOTR would have been if Bilbo in The Hobbit understood the concept of Stranger Danger?

Instead Bilbo is like:

"I first saw this creature less than 5 minutes ago and within those 5 minutes he's already committed a murder and plans to eat the corpse.

...But I still have manners. Better give him my species (unknown to him) as well as my name and address."

And then on top of that, he then steals the item this creature not only cherishes most in this world, but his raison d'être.

Now, I'm not saying it would have been better if Gollum (and the Nazgul) had the whole Shire to scour for the Ring.

But maybe don't offer literally the most suspicious figure you've met up unto this point a way to find you, unprompted?

Seeing it put like this, bro pulled an Odysseus

Bonus:

Does anybody else track their life though a series of obsessions? Like “ah yes, i remember that happening, i was obsessing over Star Gate Atlantis at the time,” or, “this was during my Supernatural era.” I can map out my whole life in this way.

I remember when things were based off what color my hair was

some things never change

Fated Ends

For Day 3 of @maedhrosmaglorweek

I DID IT! After a week of sitting on my ass and doing nothing I FIGURED OUT HOW TO END THE SCENE!

Also does anyone like editing for bagginshield fics or know someone who’d be willing to? I don’t have friends in this fandom yet but I have ~8.5K words of fluff and angst that could use a look over while I work on the second half 🥺

OH BOY I HOPE YOU LIKE CRYING BECAUSE CHAPTER TWO IS DONE!

Also thanks to everyone who volunteered to be a beta, it means a lot that y’all are willing to help me jump on the train with all of you, but I have found someone to beta for me and she’s doing a wonderful job!

BUT FUCK YEAH ANGST ANGST ANGST ANGST

I LOVE RHYMING THE END OF ONE CHAPTER WITH THE END OF ANOTHER

It’s reaaaaddyyyyy

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

Ruminate. I like that.

ordered pizza from a small local place and they didnt actually cut it so i've chosen to revert to a wild animal and begin ripping it apart instead of just using a knife to portion slices

absolutely visceral experience. food is so much more satisfying when you have to fight it. i may be feral

i am not proud to say this but that pizza lasted fifteen minutes. i normally am not that gluttonous, but this goes beyond glutton. there was gluttony and wrath. a whirlwind of sauce, cheese, and pepperoni, all atop a flatbread that was shred apart by my own hands due to the neglect of another

in that moment i was wild. i was free. i understood the simplest joys in life. the joy of eating and manifesting my own destiny

been reflecting on this all day and the unsliced pizza experience honestly ruled. i think everyone should try it sometime or another. you have not truly lived until you just absolutely obliterated a pizza in such a feral manner

is this you

yes

run

My best friend and I have this tradition we call “chicken dinner” where we get a rotisserie chicken, lay it on a tarp, start on opposite ends of the tarp, and on the count of three we both run at the chicken and start ripping into it with our bear hands. We will be on our knees fighting for the best pieces of meat, ripping into the chicken with our faces, and it is the most viscerally delicious chicken I have ever had in my life. Grease gets everywhere. We have to do this outside. We have to tie our hair in buns beforehand.

You have never known the joy of food until you are lunging at your friend to rip the best part of the chicken out of their hand, rolling around on the tarp, stuffing it in your face before they can retaliate, and you realize “holy shit did I just growl?” And then you realize they are doing it too.

The chicken gets decimated. It’s absolutely destroyed. We aren’t allowed back inside until we have been hosed down. It’s the best.

Oh ye of little faith.

People across the street looking through the blinds, "Harold! Harold come quick, they're doing the chicken thing again!"

Always need to reblog the Post when I come across it

That wasn't a bat. that was art. that was a piece of paper folded to fly like a bat. the video is a tutorial on how to fold a flying bat.

Hi science side of tumblr! Why do wet dogs smell like wet dog? Humans don’t smell very different when wet, so why do dogs?

Thanks in advance science side of tumblr!

Hi!! I love this question because I never really questioned why wet people don't smell like wet dogs, even though I know what causes wet dog smell.

Let me start by saying I'm no expert on wet dog smell, but I do have a B.S. and M.S. in biology with a strong focus on microbiology. Others are likely more qualified to answer this question and/or can answer in more detail or give a perspective from a different field like chemistry.

So wet dog smell, based on my microbiology knowledge and this article on the subject by the AKC, is caused by microorganisms (mostly yeast and certain bacteria) that live in the dog's fur. Just like all organisms, these microorganisms eat (dead skin, oils from the skin, debris that gets caught in the fur, those sort of things) and poop out the leftover waste products. These, understandably, don't smell very great.

In humans, the exact same thing happens, but we don't have a dense fur coat that catches all that waste, and most of us wash ourselves more often than we wash our dogs. That's why people get a musky smell when they're really sweaty or haven't washed in a bit, but likely don't get it in the rain or while swimming.

In dogs, that waste gets concentrated in the lower layers of their fur, and when they get wet, it gets washed up to the surface and partially evaporates with the water, resulting in that intense foul odor. That also explains why a freshly washed wet dog doesn't smell like wet dog (or at least not as strongly).

I hope I answered your question, and I'm happy to add more or hear from others about this!

Thank you greatly, science side of tumblr! You have answered my question perfectly
