    fun fact: the reason rat king is sometimes depicted as having multiple heads is because, in real life, there is a phenomenon where up to 30 rats all get their tails stuck together. if they can't get unstuck, they just live like that. this is called a rat king.

    The Nutcracker is my favorite Christmas tradition, has been since I was 5. I will never forget how thrilled I was when the Rat King jumped out in front of my Kindergarten class years ago. He was always my favorite character, and it's not officially Christmas until I have seen the rats gang up on the soldiers.

    The Nutcracker in his soldier form is pretty good at kicking butt with the 🐀 King. He isn't alone despite the fact that he has plenty of toy soldiers there to assist him. Clara isn't a perfect fit for an evil rodent monarch. She's only a perfect fit for the Nutcracker soldier who also becomes a 🤴🏻 who's glad that a little 👧🏻 saved him from an army of 🐀s. 👍🏻 if you're afraid of this scene until 😈 is defeated.

    The dancer playing the rat king is uncoordinated and lacks poise. The mouse soldiers are lazy and don't scurry. They dance like old women. Doesn't anyone know who to dance as a mouse anymore? It must be a lost art. These guys look like they are warming up at the bar not dancing on stage.

    It’s insane to think Tupac did this and played as the mouse. I have never actually seen this before but it is properly PROPERLY fucking bent …. And I was ashamed of playing the tim whistle at school. I feel better now. I definitely would of refused to do this even through threat of violence 😕😕😕
