WELCOME!! To My Rise AU, Affectionately Dubbed The Double Pendulum AU!!

Heya! I hate to ask but, any updates on the Double pendulum au?

Dude gonna be so real, I'm absolutely SWAMPED with college apps right now OUHHGHHHH

The story I'm working on at the moment is the one for my art portfolio and once I finish, one of the first things I'm doing is either writing what it would have been (infosheet? maybe... fanfic dare I say??) or even possibly continuing the comic depending on my interest and if enough people still care about this AU haha

Worry not anon, I'll finish this story one way or another, lest this guilt follows me wherever I go :')

Doodling + drawing a few Donnie related AU's/designs that won't get out of my head <33 (closeups under cut!!)

My first 2023 "Prompt-tober" piece– "The Bridge" ^ ^ going for more of a metaphorical bridge between worlds than an actual physical bridge haha

My friend (hi Rook) put together a list of prompts for each day, so I'll be yoinking from their list and spending at most 2 days per prompt :))

I'll hopefully be doing different characters per prompt from fandoms I'm in... with maybe a few OCs of mine I'll throw in there every now and then– it'll be fun!!

Cya sometime... soon!!

Nothing gold can stay.

A lil sketch I did of my friend as beloved Doc Ock bc his username in a Discord server I’m in is “Otter” and his profile picture is Oshawott (<3), and this is what my mind went to first :)

Ayy there we go! I like drawing again :D

Soooo

....

The outsiders musical, huh?

GO, GO NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO RANT!!!

OHHHHHHH MY GOD I LOOOOVE YOU ANON I LOVE YOU

RANT INCOMING

Dude I listened to it maybe a year ago and just. WOAUGH. I'm seeing it in a few months and I'm BEYOND excited. Nearly everything about that musical is top tier for me. The beautiful voices... the characterization...

ESPECIALLY love the highlight on Pony and Johnny's relationship. cause like. wow. they really were something. :) Their duets are some of my favorites amongst the soundtrack, the lyrics and their voices work sooo well together.

Also LOVELOVELOVE the focus on Darry's struggles too, and a greater focus on Dally's relationship with Johnny :') make me hurt make me cry...

I LOVE all the casting (Pony, Johnny, Cherri, Dally, Darry, Soda, okay actually I'm just listing all the characters... whoops...) the choreography, the set, the costuming, the EVERYTHINGGG If the cast changes before I get to see them live I will be so normal (depression.)

I think that there are some things that I wish were translated into song instead of done in spoken scenes in between, and some characters should've gotten more of a highlight imo (entirely thought that they tossed Steve out the window when I first listened to it & also who the actual heck is Ace...), but I haven't seen the musical live yet so!!

And I think that where as most of the lyrics hit for me, there are a few times when I think there could be a little better lyricism. Small things like in Justice for Tulsa when Cherry goes "Could this have gone a different way, I can't believe I'm standing here today" feel a bit too simple? But I digress. The lyrics work when they need to, and my god they hit hard.

They hit the overall mood SOOOO good the instrumentation punches me in the face x 3000 every time I listen to the soundtrack, and man some of these tracks have for real become comfort songs.

I love the book so much, I read it at the time in my life that I needed to, it reminds me of the teacher who introduced me to it who since passed, and I'm happy with how they adapted the musical.

TLDR; I love the musical very much.

Could get into hour long conversations about it haha

Anon, have you listened to it? I recommend you do if you've read the book, it's a little bit hard to pick up on its own!

Leo doodles :)
