then you better teach them how to behave at the theatre. My boyfriend and I went to see Frozen tonight and let me tell you something - I have never been so homicidally enraged during a show before.
Some people defended it as “a kid’s show” but I call bullshit on that. Yes, it is a Broadway show based on a Disney movie, but Disney musical movie adaptations have been on the stage since the early/mid 90′s and I have seen a number of those shows, and let me tell you, not one of them was such an unenjoyable free-for-all of forgotten manners and blatant parental no-fucks-given.
Every single quiet moment was ruined by chatter and candy wrappers. The kid behind me kicked my chair from the moment I sat down to the moment the show ended. She also: pulled my hair adjusting her seat, put her purse in my shoulder, jingled her fucking bracelet in my ear for half the show… And then loudly asked when they could go home halfway into Act 2.
Let It Go, which was supposed to be one of the best costume changes and set design in a show, was honestly the least enjoyable number because an auditorium full of little girls who hadn’t been told it’s unacceptable to sing along during a live performance did just that.
Again, I’ve seen Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, etc. on stage. Every child in those shows didn’t sing along with their favorite songs; every child in those shows didn’t talk, shift in their seats, eat and spill candy during the moments that weren’t sung… This only happened during this show specifically.
And so many parents just let their kids behave badly. I heard some shushing, but only some. When I was little, my dad took me to see shows - we saw the Nutcracker every year for several years when I was little - and I was acutely aware of theater etiquette from the get-go because I was taken to the theater and taught how to behave, not just allowed to act like a live show was equivalent to seeing a movie.
Fucking teach your kids. Bring back common courtesy. Parent your crotch goblins if you insist on inflicting them on the public.
I feel like they should just print this out and hand it to any reporter dumb enough to ask about recovering bodies
^ that pairs really well with this quote too
my favorite part about this mspaint is how succinctly it depicts the Titan. it was just a fucking tube with titanium endcaps.
do you want to see a submersible that’s capable of reaching the titanic and has been in operation since 1964? yes this has been in operation for almost 60 years:
look at how this thing was designed with safety in mind:
the part where the crew sits is entirely made out of titanium, and it’s a sphere. why? because a sphere has less weak points than a cylinder. it’s more or less uniformly strong in all directions
if you look at other deep sea subs that support a crew and you’ll notice a pattern. while their superstructure that is not pressurized may vary, the pressurized compartments are spherical. take a look at this pretty comprehensive list of manned deep-sea submersibles and click through to some that are on the list of the deepest dives
I referenced the Alvin first because it was famously used to explore the titanic but the list goes much deeper (remember the titanic is at about 4000m depth)
Here’s a cutaway of the Challenger. Notice anything?
the titanium sphere used to house the crew?
now look at the Titan:
its an accident waiting to happen.
the Alvin designed 60 years ago is still diving to the depths beyond the titanic, and has completed around FIVE THOUSAND DIVES because it was designed with safety in mind
the Titan got crushed into a billionaire smoothie maker because the CEO who commissioned it designed it to carry as many paying customers as possible for the lowest cost, and by his own mantra of “safety gets in the way of innovation”
you can’t innovate your way around physics! the physics that led to the design of the Alvin in 1964 are the same physics that made gogurt out of you and your passengers mr stockton rush. no amount of free market entrepreneurial spirit is gonna make your tube go super saiyan at 4000m and prevent the mathematical certainty of physics from taking your life
Emily Moore is the younger of the American-born Moore sisters.
Sorted into Slytherin the same year as Tom Riddle, Emily has always wanted everything. Fortune and fame, wealth and status… Emily has hungered for it all of her life. Because the Moore girls were so different, and were sorted into different houses, they grew apart over the years. Now Natalie is the Head of the National Security office of Aurors, and Emily is… doing whatever you would like! Perhaps she’s the mistress of an old but powerful Ministry official? Maybe she’s decided to enter the workforce or wants to break into show business via West End?
The possibilities are endless and she’s basically open to the player!
Taika is a bit of a conspiracy theorist. And kind of a nutjob, according to his neighbors. The London Police roll their eyes every time he telephones. Every paper in town, reputable or not, groans whenever they see his name attached to a letter. You see, he’s convinced that magic is quite real. He’s noticed the alarming number of disappearances that have occurred over the last year and a half, and he knows there’s something sinister at work… Good thing he finally found someone who believes him.
Head of National Security, Auror Natalie Moore, not only believes him… She thinks he might be the key to tracking down the necromancer responsible for creating the horrific undead creatures known as Inferi.
Florean Fortescue is the ex-husband of Lillian Smith (a Muggleborn Slytherin alum and the Muggle Studies professor at Hogwarts) and is considered the Willy Wonka of magical ice cream.
He was charismatic and charming as a teen, making him popular throughout Hogwarts - not just in his own House - and he befriended the Muggleborn-in-Slytherin, Lillian Smith, when they were both about 13. He opened the now-famous ice cream shop shortly after graduating, and then married Lillian at 19. She was pregnant and Florean was actually really excited to be a father!
Well… Life happened.
Lillian lost the baby, and Florean did his best as a husband to a devastated woman but… Over the years they drifted apart. The war gave Lillian something worthwhile to do, and Florean focused his time and energy on the shop. And when the war was over, they tried to make their floundering marriage work.
They divorced in 1949. Lillian traveled before deciding to take the post as Muggle Studies professor at Hogwarts. Florean…. Well, Florean still runs the ice cream parlor and is a respected member of the wizarding community. He’s even a leading expert on medieval witch burnings. But… He’s not the man people think he is, though you didn’t hear it from Lillian.
