Wondering If This Years WICKED Promotion (and If There’s Any) Also The Press Tour Is As Big As Last

… and it did (apparently).

George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley in the 'Last Christmas' photoshoot, 1984. 40 years ago.

Got all three of those paw badges.

They´re looking good up there and the boop-o-meter is also looking good. Don´t drop it until you got it ;) .

Even thou I haven‘t participated in the first Boop event earlier this year (Ides of March, assassination/stabbing of Julius Cäsar) I am glad I can/get to do it now. Kinda suspected/hoped the return of the Boop and especially during Halloween (😈😝).

A tired but satisfied start into this day.

Might adapt this post later.

Have to spent some time away from the screen first.

............... ............... ...............

I booped some more and figured out all three "Boop-Slaps" (boop, super boop and evil boop) until the end.

Here´s my Boop-o-meter towards the end of this war:

vs.

(2:25 am)

Tried to change it some more but it´s fine.

It was fun. Any chances we get to repeat it? It might get old at some point but I am not there yet.

Stayed up to get last boops out and to see if/when the Boop/the Boop-o-meter vanishes and Tumblr returns to its regular form. Kinda feels like Cinderella with the Pumpkin carriage… Something is missing. Even thou it was only there for a day (24 hours ish) it brought people together and I gladly participated. Certainly a memorable experience for my first Halloween here on Tumblr.

Wondering how many boops I sent/received altogether. Are there infos regarding the number of boops you have to give/receive to get to eg. MAX, OMG, LOL, TUM BLR? Looking back I wish I had kept track of the journey aka the development of the "Pumpkin"/Boop-o-meter. It looks like one of my donuts btw. .

Anyways that leaves me to say:

Happy 84th birthday to the legendary Hayao Miyazaki 💫

Miyazaki is dubbed the honorary chairman and co founder of Studio Ghibli and is responsible for leading many great films such as Princess Mononoke, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Howl's Moving Castle, The Boy and the Heron and more.

National Invasive Species Awareness Week

Are you about to be ready for tomorrow nights academy awards?!

A little saddened by the news that for the first time in about 80 years the nominated songs in the category „best movie song“ are not gonna be performed live on stage. Kinda makes me appreciate eg. Ryan Goslings (played Ken in 2023 film adaption of Barbie) performance more...

"This year, the presentation in the 'Best Original Song' category will no longer be characterized by live performances, but by the songwriters. We will celebrate the artfulness of the teams that bring these songs to life through personal reflections," CEO Bill Kramer and Janet Yang, President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, said in a statement.

I get the lack of understanding regarding this decision and agree with one users opinion that in the previous years the songs often were the highlight of the evening.

However, spectators do not have to completely do without performances.

As the Academy's superiors emphasize in their statement, there will be "powerful musical moments [...] that combine the rich history of the film with its courageous and inspiring future".

These moments reportedly include an opening performance by Wicked stars Cynthia Erivo (38) and Ariana Grande (31), who are nominated for their performances in the musical film in the categories "Best Actress" and "Best Supporting Actress".
