Okay So I FINALLY Saw Hadestown Today (touring In SLC) And I've Heard People Say That Chibueze Ihuoma

Okay so I FINALLY saw Hadestown today (touring in SLC) and I've heard people say that Chibueze Ihuoma is really good but y'all, he is REALLY good. His voice is like lemonade on a hot day and he plays the character so perfectly! Morgan Siobhan Green was also stunning as Eurydice! She sings like an angel, and played out in her physicality the tension of her character between being sweet at heart but toughened by life. The whole cast (and crew!) was amazing, but I just needed to gush about these two, I loved it so much!

SLoTAT Reunion - Where the characters are now, according to the actors!

Came across this reunion video after watching a few old episodes. Honestly I hated a lot about how the writers handled everything in the show, and the pro-life christian values peppered in EVERYWHERE, but it was refreshing to hear the opinions of the actors. The purpose of the reunion video call was to discuss the importance of voting for the 2020 election, including a lot of useful information about voting in general. I recommend watching it yourself if you can!

They also answered a few questions about SLoTAT, including where they imagine their characters would be now. Amy, Adrian, Grace, Ben, Henry, Lauren, Madison, and Anne’s actors all showed up. Ricky, Jack, Ashley, Alice, and George are not there. I did not see this video recapped anywhere yet, so I thought I would take it upon myself. They also discuss some other fun behind the scenes details and go over what topics they would want the show to cover if it was airing now. If some answers conflict, it is because each answer is from a different actor. I am only recapping the part about what the actors envision for the future of their character.

Most of the cast fully admits to not remembering the ending, since so much time has passed.

Shailene Woodley (Amy):  Ricky and Amy get married, and then divorced, then married again, and then divorced again. But it is okay, because she is back with Ben, and they have two more children together. In a fantasy world, she would love to see her be someone who had all of her children very young and is now rocking her thirties child-free as her children are all grown, while all of her friends are having children for the first time.  Now fluid in her sexuality, not identifying as anything - not necessarily with Ricky OR Ben. Might even be with… Grace! Hopefully traveling, learning languages, and eating good food. 

Megan Park (Grace):  Grace became a doctor. Maybe a heart surgeon. Also single, living her fluid life - maybe with Amy or Adrian. Living her best life.

Francia Raisa (Adrian):  Adrian would be a lawyer. Very involved with the border situation, lawyer for detainees and immigration. Single boss woman - she specifies she would not last with Omar. Francia later mentions she is still fighting with Amy - this time, over Grace.

Allen Evangelista (Henry): Henry likely died after enlisting in the military in season 5.

Molly Ringwald (Anne, Amy’s Mom):  Anne would have a teenage son Robbie by now, so she is pretty much the same in that regard. Either still a lesbian or living her fluid life like her daughter Amy. 

Ken Baumann (Ben): He just hopes that Ben is going to therapy regularly and lifting weights (Francia agrees that they all needed therapy lol)

Camille Winbush (Lauren): Lauren decides to stop competing for boys and instead becomes life partners with Madison. Power Couple.

Renee Olstead (Madison): Renee had a more depressing future in mind for Madison. Madison does not go to therapy. She is single, and a cocktail waitress in Vegas who takes shots every time she hears the words “oral sex”.

Surprisingly, everyone agreed they would still love to do an actual one-off reunion episode! Or maybe even redoing one of the episodes as they are now. Two years have passed since then, so it seems unlikely - but you never know.

Hey! I’m gonna assume you guys like using Tumblr correct? What about AO3? TikTok? Or any other platform that fandom spaces thrive? Then you need to give a fuck about the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA).

KOSA is a act currently being talked about in congress that is labeled as a act that prevents minors from seeing 18+ content. It being labeled as that seems okay and good, yes, but that’s not what this bill is about.

KOSA, if put in place, will make so the attorney general of each state gets to pick which platforms will be banned in their state. And this doesn’t been censorship of minors, this means censorship of everyone of ALL AGES.

“My attorney general wouldn’t ban this sites.” Yes, they might not. But don’t think about yourself right now. MILLIONS of people will be without spaces to escape too. Millions of people will be without access to websites that allows them to talk to people. Millions of queer people wouldn’t be allowed on to places they were originally welcomed.

“Okay? But they’re only trying to ban nsfw content?” And what do all republications see as nsfw? Queer people. Especially trans people.

KOSA is just another bill that will allow nation wide bans on topics such as sex, gender, sexuality, and more. This act does nothing more except erase queer people from online spaces, and further pushes the anti-trans beliefs (and genocide) circling our country right now.

Y’all need to give a shit about this bill like you should still be giving a shit about the RESTRICT ACT (which still hasn’t been turned down yet btw).

This act opens the door from any site such of tumblr and quotev to be banned, to YouTube if your AG doesn’t like it for ANY reason. And don’t forget, VPN’s can only do so much, and the government already wants to ban those.

What can you do? CALL YOUR FUCKING CONGRESS REPS. EMAIL THEM. I don’t give a shit, all I care about is this bill that doesn’t speak for the people getting blocked and not being put in place. Bills like this further push our nations descent into facism. And if there’s a way to prevent that, we better fucking do it.

One thing I'm really enjoying about Powerpuff Girls is their relationship with Professor Utonium. He's not a sidekick character or a character running tech support for them. He's just... their dad. He gets worried about them and frustrated with them. He tries his best to raise them right, and sometimes he makes mistakes. He doesn't always know the best way to connect with them (having never been a little girl himself), and while he may be a brilliant scientist, his hobby is his hobby and more often than not, he's doing it for himself and not for the implicit or explicit benefit of his girls.

But he's happy to make them food and take them on picnics and vacations and remind them when it's bedtime (even if they'll get up a few hours later to fight crime because crime never sleeps). He gives them big hugs and mediates their fights and frets over if he's being too soft or too harsh with them.

He's just their dad, but that's really the role they need him in most.
