The fledgling Artist

@alia Hi I didn’t see you there until just now.
Indeed I have. Do you like my Catwing Guard armor?

@seekjustice @rochellaine @dekreel @valtmy @jenwriter17 I’m doing some more comment fixing. And guess what? My family got goats today. They are cute (maybe partly because they are young). 😀

@rochellaine Perhaps… But I think I’ve only killed off those five characters as far as I can remember right now. I can assure you that their deaths are part of the plot. 😉
@seekjustice Maybe I should kill some other characters to even it out. ;P

@seekjustice Not by a long shot!!!! 😛 I was just using that as an example.  Actually the most noticeable inaccuracy is that the real newsboys’ average age was probably around ten or twelve, so the sixteen- to twenty-year-old guys seem quite strange.

…but they’re good dancers! 😛

@valtmy Actually, since yours is a parody in the first place, I…[Read more]

@seekjustice Was that during a performance, or was that when she was alone with her friends?  Because if it was the former, I completely agree, but if the latter, I don’t care a bit. 😛

@valtmy Haha! 😛 Don’t worry, I don’t think I will.  But yeah, that’s me.  I get so horribly annoyed if the actors say a slang word that wasn’t invented yet, (talking about Newsies, @seekjustice ) if the skirts are two inches too short or too long, (can’t always tell, except for a few specific periods) or especially if the characters act like m…[Read more]

@seekjustice tagging issues.  I’m having them too.  See above if you haven’t. 😉

@seekjustive Oh, I don’t know.  I thought of a couple when writing that, but my brain is mixed up now and I can only remember one:

Rose Marie (1936) Is a musical about an opera singer who goes to the wilds of Canada in search of her brother.  A huge climax near the end of the film involves her having a mental breakdown during an opera p…[Read more]

@seekjustice You replied to @valtmy‘s post, but tagged me. 😛

@seekjustice I prefer musical theater to opera (usually) as well, but I also am a stickler for accuracy.  The entire story revolves around the fact that Christine has a beautiful, classically trained operatic voice, and that she sings in the opera.  Therefore the fact that they cast women with obviously Broadway style voices to sing songs that b…[Read more]

@catwing Haha.  As someone who allows mainly the parents to die, but saves the children alive, wouldn’t that make you similar to Disney? 😛

@seekjustice Don’t they put on what’s supposed to be an operatic production? The costumes certainly nod to opera costumery.

Not killing parents does not make the deaths less, it only makes them different. 😉

@rochellaine
I see, but…
Gary died in a car crash. A gun would not help him.
Kay’s parents (as another example of my killed characters) nearly wrecked by a truck. Her dad went to check on them and they pulled a gun on him. And there was at least three of them. I’m working on the details…
Alex’s parents had swords, but they were distracted…[Read more]

@catwing Concealed Carry.  😉

@seekjustice No, I definitely wouldn’t want to read it.  I have no idea what the original characters were like.  I just know Phoebus was really nice in the ’23 version, and that in both versions Esmerelda was an adult.

Maybe you would enjoy the “cleaned up and adjusted” versions better. 😛

Well, I don’t like the Phantom anyway, so no argument t…[Read more]

@rochellaine CC permit?

@catwing Poor Gary! 🙁

Lesson to all book characters: Never try to learn more than is good for you, and if you do, and someone threatens to eliminate you, go to the police, then get your CC permit. 😛

@seekjustice I can’t write a long discussion post right now, but I just went back and read the synopses of the two versions I saw and apparently they were modified a bit so not everyone dies, 😛

The 1923 version, (a really big film in it’s time) changed the story drastically, allowing Phoebus to survive with Esmerelda. 😀

The classic Charles…[Read more]

@rochellaine I messed up your tag…

@seekjustice Indeed.
He found out to much and his conscience was weighing on him. Someone decided to eliminate him.

@rocellaine oh, well. Itchy fingers. *shrug*
Too bad.

@seekjustice Whoa… and I’m just here quietly torturing my characters and half hoping I can redeem all my villainous characters (except for the one who represents Satan. Duh.), while knowing I will probably have to let someone go and not be redeemed. *sobs* But somehow it will be good… I…[Read more]

@catwing Problem is, I’m not at all interested in that stuff. 😛
