Hi! My ghost mantis literally just came in the mail like 10 minutes ago along with flightless fruit fly culture to feed it with and so I just wanted to see if any of you had any advice on how/when to feed it. I had to follow instructions and add some water to the fruit flies and they were legit jumping out everywhere which I was not prepared for lol, is there an easier way to get them out of this giant jar? How do I know when to feed my mantis (it is I believe in L2 or L3) ?

I am so new to this and would love any help I can get :)

So I am really really considering auditioning for Madame Thenardier in Les Miserables but I just don't know how to get into that classic like old witchy lady voice that her character and other characters like say Miss Hannigan from Annie have. Tried looking for tutorials online but to no avail lol. Was wondering if anyone had any advice about this and any audition song suggestions.

TLDR; I got my hopes up and got let down.

I've liked this guy for months, having confessed to him in February but he said he wasn't in a place for a relationship at that time, but after that we built a really strong friendship and I had moved past my feelings really until two or three weeks ago when he was showing some signs of more than friend liking which is not what this post is about.

My group and I went to this gorgeous botantical garden spot to get photos and right away one turns to me and is like "look who's here :D" and it was him. We had managed to avoid him until one point when our groups were close and I caught him giving the most yearning stare ever as my mom was carrying my dress of course bruh. Anyway, we get to the dance and this man keeps faking me out becaused he is the sweetest and like I don't want to say shy but y'know and so he would start to walk up to the table, clearly to me, so I would start mogging off to the distance drinking my water watching him out of the corner of my eye as he then would swerve like he changed his mind. He constantly lingered around the table and even followed me outside and like on the dance floor- it was getting to be a lot lol, but I had it set in my mind I wanted to give him his chance y'know. Eventually, it was the second slow song of the night and I was like okay I'm going for it and went to his friend who earlier was very clearly coaching him on how to dance with a girl whilst by our table and his friend told me he left for the night to get his sister home.

Never once did he then message me to compliment me or anything and so I have just kind of been dying like I got myself all worked up and I had just moved on from him and he does this. I'm debating messaging his friend but I had sworn in February I wouldn't pressure him at all and doing that starts to feel pressuring.
