βWhat transness and especially a pre-transition dysphoria actually feels like, to me at least, is much more internal and intangible. The language that I use to try to talk about it is language that I'm borrowing from the surrealism of David Lynch β the dreamlike nature of his films β or the body horror of David Cronenberg.β β JANE SCHOENBRUN, I Saw the TV Glow writer/director (x)

utility pole paintings for april / may / june !
This sick bleach shirt I made. Something to showcase my undying love for prehistoric cave art.
Some of the bleach burned thru the shirt bc this was my first time bleaching anything ever, but it kinda adds to it.
"afab only housing" is honestly beautiful. it's #progress to use inclusive language when discrimating against trans women
you might as well just say "no men, and yeah I think men includes you trannies (but trans men aren't men you ladies are welcome π₯°)"
^^^
It really is one of the best examples of them compounding. Cause when I was in a really bad spot housing wise, a few times I applied to those anyway and made a point about being like "oh I'm afab" and it felt so fucking gross. But I didn't wanna be homeless. So I made myself uncomfortable (and for nothing as it turned out, I would not do the same thing again if I went back in time)
But even then, and even more now, I was so conscious of the fact that, as uncomfortable and gross as it felt.... It was an option. And if I was a trans woman, no matter how desperate I was, it would not BE an option. It's a way of understanding privilege more people need to take on IMO, cause it's not about whether or not I think of it as a privilege. Course I dont. That's not the point.
Here's a list of non-English musicals I've seen submitted to @dyk-this-musical-song and links for how to watch/listen to them with English subtitles or the best equivalent. There are a bunch of non-English shows that have been submitted and seemingly some interest in checking them out, but I think a lot of people just have no idea how to go about that, or if it's possible. Disclaimer: I haven't watched these links, or if I have, it's been years, so possibly songs are out of order in playlists or shows are just linking to the first act. If that's the case, let me know and I'll make a note. A lot of these are pro-shots, which is fun. I listed shows here that have been submitted to the dye-tms blog, because that's a good way to gauge which have a decent amount of interest, but please let me know any you'd like added to the list.
Of all the ones I've checked out already on here (Tanz, Elizabeth, Marie Antoinette, Rebecca, Mozart l'Opera Rock, Kristina), Elisabeth is by far my favourite and probably the most popular internationally. It's historical but with heavy Phantom of the Opera vibes, if you're into that. But it's a good place to start, maybe.
Also there are a decent number of musical movies in non-English languages, often with English subtitles. I haven't included anything that exists more as a movie than as a stage show; this is more about stage shows, but a musical is a musical. To list the two I can think of, there's Les Paraplouies Des Cherbourg (The Umbrellas of Cherbourg) and Les Demoiselles de Rochefort (The Young Women of Rochefort), both in French.
Friedrich: Mythos und TragΓΆdie (Friedrich: Myth and Tragedies)Β (German) thereβs just the German album and you can follow along with the Wikipedia summary if you wantΒ , but this lovely person made a post about subtitles they made
Tanz der Vampire (Dance of the Vampires)Β (German)Β Here
Elisabeth das MusicalΒ (German)Β Here;Β there are actually multiple German-language productions with English subtitles, since this show is so popular. If you want, you can also find English subtitles on productions in several other languages (mostly, Japanese and Korean). I picked this one randomly, hopefully it's a decent enough video and isn't missing any critical scenes, if it's an early version.
RebeccaΒ (German)Β Here; there might also be English-language videos/audios out there, this did get a few performances in English, but it's been a whole Thing and is mostly put on outside of English-speaking regions.
Mozart! Das MusicalΒ (German)Β Here
Marie AntoinetteΒ (German)Β This is just act 1, not act 2. I canβt remember if itβs sung-through or not. I can't find any translations of act 2.
Artur--Excalibur (German) Here So this premiered in Switzerland but it's written by Wildhorn, so originally was more an English show, but I don't believe has ever been performed in English. There are a few shows like this, Wildhorn is weirdly popular abroad as compared to in the English-speaking world.
StarmaniaΒ (French)Β Here
Robin Des BoisΒ (Robin Hood) (French) This has Russian open captions and closed captions, so you could use auto-translate on the closed captions, but it would be hard to read them with the open captions behind that so maybe set the subtitle background to opaque.
Le Rouge et le NoirΒ (The Red and the Black) (French)Β Here
Notre Dame de ParisΒ (French)Β This is actually an English version; here is a French-language one with English subtitles
RomΓ©o et Juliette, de la Haine Γ l'AmourΒ (Romeo and Juliet: from Hate to Love) (French)Β Here
Le Roi SoleilΒ (The Sun King) (French)Β Here
Mozart l'Opera RockΒ (Mozart: the Rock Opera) (French)Β Here

Adam et Γve: La Seconde Chance (Adam and Eve: the Second Chance) (French) Here

La LΓ©gende du Roi Arthur (The Legend of King Arthur) (French) Here
A Dzsungel KΓΆnyveΒ (The Jungle Book) (Hungarian) I donβt think thereβs anything besides the Hungarian-language album, so try that and the wikipedia summary and maybe thatβll work.
IstvΓ‘n, a kirΓ‘lyΒ (Steven the King) (Hungarian)Β Here, also here
A padlΓ‘sΒ (The Attic) (Hungarian)Β Here
JΓ³nΓ‘s KΓΆnyveΒ (Book of Jonah) (Hungarian)Β Here
Valahol EurΓ³pΓ‘ban (Somewhere in Europe) (Hungarian) translations of lyrics are here; I'm not sure if those are of all the songs. Here is the show in Hungarian.
A PΓ‘l utcai fiΓΊk (Paul St. Boys) (Hungarian) Here is a playlist with some videos of songs and those are translated, the rest are from the cast recording and are not. I'm not sure if the playlist is in the proper order or not.
1989 (Polish) Google drive link to a video with subtitles; made by @perplexingly; thank you so so much!!!
Mieszko Pierwszy (Mieszko the First) (Polish) Here
Kristina frΓ₯n DuvemΓ₯laΒ (Kristina from DuvemΓ₯la) (Swedish) Supposedly there is a movie but idk if itβs subtitled; there is an English-language translated version of the album and itβs sung-through; thatβs available on YouTube
λ°μ€λ ΈνΈ (Death Note)Β (Korean) (there is an English version of this show; Iβm not sure if itβs significantly changed or if itβs just a direct translation, but you can watch that) japanese production from 2017 korean production from 2015
νλμΌμνμΈ (Frankenstein) (Korean) on Disney Plus, if you use a VPN to claim you're in Korea, but English subtitles probably aren't available.

My brain is frying in the heat and yuri juice
happy coco day ;__; πππ
that's my daughter fr i love her so badd
Interesting analysis but Im stuck on "But I was breathing, you couldve taken me to a hospital" & "Is this true?" after Lestat's version of how she was turned. The betrayal there ..
ok yes let's get into it.
"but i was still breathing!": this is the fight when claudia runs away from home. she's desperately hurt; she's throwing everything she's got at louis to inflict as much damage as possible, saying the worst things she could think of to say. in this same speech she says i could have been sweeping floors and carrying babies! going to church! you think on that some, louis! this picture of mortal normalcy is not claudia's personal deepest desires. it's some shade of what louis wishes they both could have had, but that normalcy is constructed, not natural. the desire for it is an unfulfillable desire for safety. even as humans their options were severely curtailed, by patriarchy and by a virulent racist society. sorry bit of a tangent but to return: i do not think the audience is meant to entertain this like oh my god claudia totally could have survived her wounds. maybe a different kind of miracle would have happened and she would have survived some other way, but probably not.
lestat's version of the turning: lestat doesn't even suggest that claudia wasn't actually going to die. the trial's version of events is that louis was hysterical and ignored lestat's warning that claudia would be doomed. here we once again have the argument that claudia is fundamentally broken and should never have been made, weaponized to its full extreme. the goal with this entire narrative is to lynch her and louis. to portray louis as dangerous and unstable and claudia as a tragic mistake. the audience is not meant to trust lestat's account, but even more than that--even if we suppose this lynch trial retelling is accurate--we're not meant to come to the same conclusion that the trial does. it does get to claudia in the moment, but her subsequent defense of louis during the show trial, her clutching for him when he's ripped away, and her defiance up to her last moment show the consistency of her love for louis and her fundamental regard for her own existence. and what makes the tragedy of the whole show effective AND brings louis the most closure is that claudia's death was NOT inevitable. claudia loved and was loved! she was victimized over and over, she was sick of enduring and she felt like something was going to explode inside her, but she could keep going and most days she wanted to keep going. she went bang! and kept going after that! the people she'd thought would be her community had her enacting her suicide in a baby doll costume every night for years and it did not break her. she DID dream. when louis is allowed to remember this, to remember how fiercely she loved, how she brilliantly she lived, it gives him regard for his own existence. it drives him out of the coffin he'd almost resigned himself to. are we the sum of our worst moments? i didn't know it was a gift!

has anyone figured out how to turn off the thing where you love your pet so much it slides inexorably into grief-borrowing
βFor me this glass is already broken. I enjoy it; I drink out of it. It holds my water admirably, sometimes even reflecting the sun in beautiful patterns. If I should tap it, it has a lovely ring to it. But when I put this glass on the shelf and the wind knocks it over or my elbow brushes it off the table and it falls to the ground and shatters, I say, βOf course.β When I understand that the glass is already broken, every moment with it is precious.β
