chickenchoicejudy: Scrawny - The Wallows (I'll be a mannequin)

[Ryan is on the stage of the Raccoon Room, a place he’s been dozens of times before, but typically announcements about the venue don’t come from him. They come from Wu, or maybe even Mako.

But Ryan is standing on the stage, his otter omen Tomo curled up in his arms. They know how hard this announcement is going to be. He’s dressed pretty casually, but a deep green raccoon brooch stands out against the red of his shirt. He takes a deep breath.
]

So...Wu, Mako, and Bolin all went back to the ocean. They’re gone.

[That hangs heavy in the air.]

They’re, um. They’ll be really missed around here. But...they wanted the Raccoon Room to keep going. Before they left, they put me and Min-Gi in charge. We’re still going to be performing, but we’re also going to be doing all the stuff they do - hosting, the business stuff, you know. All that.

[He’s clearly trying to pivot into the practical side of things to avoid making it sound like a eulogy. Tomo nuzzles into the crook of his elbow.]

The Raccoon Room is going to be closed for a week while we figure out uh, all of…that stuff. But after that, we’re going to reopen business as usual. If you perform here, or if Wu or Mako had you as a business contact, hit up one of us? Just, y’know, trying to get our ducks all in a row. I’ve been performing here for ages and even I don’t know everybody.

[The smile he gives is a little hollow. But, public speaking is more his thing than Min-Gi’s. He’s not going to make him do it alone.]

Wu was one of my best friends. I asked him once what I’d ever do without him, and...he just hugged me and said I’d be okay.

[He doesn’t feel like it, but it’s giving him the strength to stand up on stage right now.]

All of us are going to be okay. The show must go on!

[The camera cuts there, wrapping everything up in a nice emotional bow...but then it cuts back in sloppily all of a sudden.]

--Fuck! Sorry, hang on– [A camera adjustment and a small ‘dude, what are you- from behind the camera. Then:] Also, uh. If anyone knows anything about directing musicals, we super need a new one of those to pick up where Bolin left off. Me and Min have the music piece kind of under control but like, we don’t know anything about acting? Seriously, hit us up if you know anything about Chicago. The musical, not the place.

[Ryan throws the rock and roll devil horns, and just before the camera cuts a final time Min-Gi steps out from around the back of the camera. Ryan is the front guy and graciously took the role for this, but it seems wrong to not appear at the very least. ]

Double hang on, actually. Sorry. I just wanted to say that we’re still processing payroll from last month but Mako left his ledger, so all our performers are still getting paid and we have the budget for the musical pretty laid out, too. So, that’s still on the table. If you really think you could direct it, there’s money. Whatever passes for- [A small sigh. Min looks pretty damn rough but he is doing his best okay. ]

You all know what I mean. Anyway, the point is we’re not going to leave anybody hanging.

Okay, that’s it. If you have any questions, like Ryan said, let us know either here or via Omni-Mail. Thank you.


[From off-screen:] Literally no one calls it–

[And then, finally, off the camera goes.]


[Replies will come from both Ryan and Min-Gi]

CWs for entire post/threads within: Discussion of sexual orientation, queerness, discrimination against LGBTQ+, homophobia, transphobia, gender identity, themes of coming out etc.

Coming out is such a fuckin' scam.

There's always someone who has to hear this but damn, don't let anyone guilt you into that shit. You don't have to explain any part of your identity to anyone. Not your friends, not your family, not your significant other. Fuckin' nobody. It's your identity. Yours. Not theirs.

And for the record? Don't sweat it so much if you can't figure it out. Sexuality and romantic attraction and gender identity don't need to be forced into some convenient description you found online. It's fine if you haven't found the right word for it. Language is, oftentimes, limiting to the full expression of our existence.

That shit is so fluid most people be wasting their whole life feeling worried about it because everyone around them goes on and on about how they figured their shit out. Like cool, whatever, congrats for them, but trust me, you're not less valid or whatever just because you ain't got a flag to hang yet. It's fine if you never figure it out. It doesn't have to be a bad thing.

It's okay to be confused for a long time and it's fine to want to figure out how to fix that, but like, seriously, a lot of that confusion does come from comparing yourself to other people and their own experiences.

Whatever. I'm making this whole post private in case anyone has questions or would like to talk.

Consider this April's sex education lesson. I'm simplifying things, obviously, but the point is to open the discussion. So. Discussion Opened.

Rules of Engagement:
1. You don't get to ask me who else is responding to this post or what they are saying. I will shove my foot so far up your ass all you'll taste for the rest of your life will be dirt.

2. You are allowed to ask me about my own shit, but I'm allowed to decline to answer if I get a weird vibe from you.

3. Feel free to go anonymous. I won't pry.

4. Do not force yourself to discuss things you are not ready to discuss. I'm not going to beg you for dirty deetz so if you're not ready, then maybe tab the conversation for later.

5. Judgement-free zone. I have been on every sketchy part of the web and am completely desensitized. Imagine a thousand-yard stare but instead of war-torn countrysides, I'm just seeing thousands of years' worth of explicit Sonic x Knuckles fanart. Which, okay, actually, dope ship. Bad example. But you get my meaning.
