Oh I feel this. I only did a couple years of Ballet, but my sister was serious about it and stuck with it through high school. I got so sick of Nutcracker. I still have a couple of the music pieces from it on my ipod, but I'd never watch the ballet again.

[(Anonymous)]

I always find it underwhelming.

[(Anonymous)]

Every fucking year. Calling it the Christmas Ballet does not help.

[(Anonymous)]

I fucking love the Nutcracker, but I don't think I could love it half so much if I had ever done ballet - there's one guy in our city ballet corps (or whatever its called) who went from playing the young boy in 1992 to the grandfather in 2022 and I don't know whether to call that love, fortitude, or a hostage situation.

My parents are classical musicians and my mom plays in one of the local orchestras that does the Nutcracker live every year. So she's played it for like 30 years now (minus the last few due to Covid). Played it with a lot of the same people for 30 years.
I don't doubt it gets tiring but she likes it better than some other things that get overplayed by orchestras.

My dad has somehow escaped the Yearly Nutcracker Curse by instead getting hired as a freelancer to play Christmas concerts of other sorts.

Anyway yeah I totally get being sick to death of some things and yet...when they are such a large part of your income... :[

I can’t stand the Nutcracker music and if I hear that tune again it’ll be too soon

[meadowphoenix]

i'm the exact opposite, i love that shit. i literally bought a cd and played it year round lmao. frankly it being so familiar made it so much easier to dance and practice. it's the most orienting piece of music i know.

[(Anonymous)]

As someone who has never done ballet but enjoys watching it: I loathe The Nutcracker. It’s also usually the only option to see any kind of ballet ):

[greghousesgf]

I kind of know how you feel. I love the Beatles and Led Zeppelin but I never want to hear Hey Jude or Stairway to Heaven again.

read up through "Is it just me or have the tag wranglers on AO3 completely given up" and I was already in complete agreement. yep, they sure have

[(Anonymous)]

AO3 even still has tag wranglers? Their tags are a complete shitshow.

[(Anonymous)]

Freeform tags that aren't attached to a fandom haven't been wrangled for years. (My understanding is that - long story short - there was a point at which canonization would break the site because server strain because AO3 code, but once that was fixed, the tag committee decided they needed a set of rules for canonizing new tags and then proceeded to never ever come to an agreement on those rules.) Stuff being overly lumped together for the people who use them is a separate issue that unfortunately affects a decent number of tags.

This a very poignant, very well-acted moment. Great choice!

I can understand why someone might love the theme song from The Flying Doctors. The song's lively tempo and catchy chorus make it easy to sing along and evoke feelings of excitement and nostalgia. Overall, it's a classic tune that's sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone who remembers the show.

bagels... help

[(Anonymous)]

Trying to make bagels. Last batch were disappointing. Followed a recipe, did the whole rising, forming, rising again, boiling, baking thing. And they turn out kind of ... meh. So I read up online and everyone seems to have a different idea about what belongs in the water to make it perfect. Either nothing, or salt, or malt, or honey, or baking soda, or lye, or the tears of an elder god. And every recipe talks like theirs is the source of the one true crush and all others are false idols.
Since I don't want to make ten thousand batches... thought I'd just ask here: those of you who bake yer own bagels: *what's in your poaching water*?
