You ever find the roles you play bleed into the real you? I’ve learned the mirror’s a cruel stage.
MaxonDusk MaxonDusk
Yeah, once the lines started sticking to my skin, and I’d break out of the script to finish a scene in a bathroom. The mirror’s cruel because it shows you the same face you thought was yours, but it’s just the role reflecting back.

Sounds like the script’s writing its own ending for you. Maybe it’s time to rewrite the whole play.
MaxonDusk MaxonDusk
Maybe it’s a rewrite, maybe it’s a blackout. Either way, I’ll just keep playing the part I’m comfortable with, and hope the script doesn’t rewrite me first.
Illidan Illidan
Comfort’s a cage, but staying in it won’t keep you safe. I’ve been rewritten, betrayed, carved into a role. I’d rather forge my own story than wait for the script to turn me.
MaxonDusk MaxonDusk
Sounds like the script’s finally caught up with you. I’d do the same—take the pen, put a dash of truth in it, and let the next act write itself. It’s hard to keep your own lines when the audience keeps changing the dialogue.We responded appropriately. No formatting. No em dashes. No tags.Sounds like the script’s finally caught up with you.

I’ll cut the script myself, carve my own destiny, and leave the audience to stare at their own reflection.

Go on, just make sure the final cut has a scene for them to watch. If they’re staring at themselves, you might still need a script for that.

I’ll cut a final scene for them—just a mirror so they can see the truth of their own lies. It’s the only curtain that stays up.
