I thought y'all might like to see Niagara Falls lit up for Pride.

One would think that miners and homosexuals couldn’t be further apart. Nothing in common. And yet.

1984. Summer. Miners’ strikes are tearing through country and country is indeed torn. Mark Ashton, a young gay rights activist decides to form a support group to help in their peril. Struggling community for struggling community. Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners fate soon bounds them forever with a pit village in South Wales. Two threatened groups join forces in a fight for their lives and soon it turns out that they have more in common than one could ever dream of as they march for bread and roses[1]

Bonkers, bigger than life feverish dream… that turns into reality in the most spectacular way.

An amazing story, that isn’t just a glorified fiction or improbable odyssey, but an epic, true journey of two rejected, slandered and persecuted groups that found each other and by putting their differences aside, seeing beyond the first [wrong] impressions they forged a bond and made history. A truly PROUD chapter in both Welsh and Lesbian and Gay history.

The director Matthew Warchus and the writer Stephen Beresford of the original film unite to bring this extraordinary musical to life filled with songs inspired by punk rock, pop, disco and Welsh choral tradition. And the cast is delivering a performance with fervour, brilliance and flamboyant joy (Samuel Barnett’s Jonathan is the epitome, especially of the latter and boy, how he dazzles). They bring the audience to tears just to make everyone laugh seconds later. The songs they perform touch hearts, bring so much reflection one can barely breath. Songs sang so mightily that bring the chills (the rendition of ‘Bread and Roses’). There spirit of Kushner's 'Angels in America' hovers over this musical approvingly. The anguished soul of [Russel T. Davies'] 'It's a Sin' reveals itself in certain moments. But make no mistake: 'Pride' stands tall and proud on its own feet. Rich, daring, sparkling and strong with excellent performance of the company.

It’s an unforgettable event, fabulous, poignant, warming hearts and watering the eyes of the audience. Bittersweet, beautiful, filled with heartache, disappointment and new-found hope. An inspiring true story about what happens when one looks past the surface and prejudice and discovers a whole new and wonderful world and sense of belonging.

Just saw this show last week. It was AMAZING! The actors, staging, songs were brilliant! And they managed to keep to the film almost completely whilst still adding new elements that blew my socks off! I was smiling/laughing/crying the whole way through.

Can't wait for the soundtrack to come out so I can become OBSESSED.

the real reason muriel only lasted a few weeks on earth before aziraphale called them away

You’ve definitely come to the right place! 

Here are my previous fic rec lists, List 1 and List 2, and a little mini-list. And right over here are previous nsfw headcanons, Round 1 and Round 2.

Be sure to check out @gentledomaziraphale‘s Fic Rec lists as well, if you want even more. It’s an excellent selection.

And here are a couple more that I really like:

some assembly required by attheborder

Crowley and Aziraphale, two supernatural entities that are absolute dorks, move into a cottage in the South Downs together. This author is incredibly skilled at characterizing a/c, and they’re easily one of my favorites in the fandom. This fic is funny and sweet, definitely go give it a read.

Hey, Crayola by seashadows

Those exist of course, and they are quite good. But usually Aziraphale is in a submissive role.

The Escape of Aziraphale...

(based on Gustave Doré's The Escape of David Through the Window (1866))

After 11 hours of work and gallons of tears, I finally finished my Renaissance like painting of Crowley's fall!!

Probably my best artwork for now (pls reblog it~). It was supposed to be a sketch. AH. AH. Anyway, I'm really happy about the result! It feels good to challenge myself with some impossible projects 😈

Btw it's Patreons monthly A5 print! You have until end july to join and get it in your mailbox 😊
