Iām thinking about Hatchet Field and cycles, especially in NPMD because holy shit thereās so much of it. Like
Every time we see Hatchet Field the world ends. And then we see it end all over again- it all restarts
Nobody ever dies in Waylon house
When Max dies the school is allowed to move on, to āevolveā- but then he comes back. Things return to how they once were
āPeople go missing in Hatchet Field every dayā
The lyrical motif of āIām not a loserā is not just an assertion of worth, itās a claim to safety and power. Peter doesnāt dress like that because heās a nerd, he dresses like that to avoid attention, to not be a loser.
When Max is destroyed, Grace replaces him.
Suddenly Grace is singing about how the ānerdsā will rise up and kill. The threat shifts but is never gone
āIām not a loserā is absolution, it says āI am not worthy of deathā in a very literal sense. Character beg for their lives with it. The final song, where Grace becomes the new apocalypse? The background is still āIām not a loserā. Because it was never about nerds versus jocks. It was always about escaping death.
But people go missing in Hatchet Field every day
And nobody ever dies in the Waylon house
So we go around and around and around
The same two people flirt at a coffee shop, the same cops run the same dirty beat, the same rich fucks call the same lawyer, over and over and over
What the fuck

I'm probably gonna get yelled at for saying this but sometimes something isn't a real problem in fandom, you just learned a Japanese word describing a general fandom practice and got scared and decided it meant "The Bad Ones" of that practice

Wow wtf HIV/AIDS was discovered by Flossie Wong-Staal, an Chinese-American woman, and sheās the reason the HIV test even exists. AND THEN she invented the molecular knife that lead to treatments for HIV/AIDS. And sheās STILL ALIVE. We donāt hear about the contributions of Women of Color enough, my word. Madness.

Venus reaches out to us. She has eyes to fly with and wings to see. As terrible as an angel, be afraid. That wing to see the truth and that eye to lay it bare.
We feel the heat on our skin and recoil. It wants something from us, a lot of things, maybe everything.
