Sometimes I dream magazines, smiling starlets
Glamour and haze how they wave from days that are now long since swept
Dazzle and shine, lost lives once upon a memory
Til sad old ladies alone in a dark home is all that is left
Jill in Paul Shapera’s The Posthuman War

going off like. lloyd claiming he's suave. it's funny bc afaik he's only had two boyfriends. I know he acts like his relationship with Matt wasn't much of anything but lloyd loves to lie
he is charming. his friends love him. but it's not because he's Smooth. Asha and jill didn't suffer watching him and raven dance around each other just for him to lie

ooh do you have any steampunk and dark carabet recommendations? I've been dipping my toes a little into the genres, but I'd love to hear more!
no pressure if you're not feeling up to it though—hope you get plenty of rest these coming days.
Hi Anon!
Thank you so so much for this question, I'm so excited to answer!!! I definitely have recommendations for you!!! Most of these artists have potentially triggering themes in their work, as I tend to like that and that's not uncommon in the dark cabaret world. If you want straight up steampunk that's less triggering and more fun/historical I can recommend some of that too (The Cog is Dead comes to mind) but I listen to less of that.
Some of my favorite artists in the steampunk/dark cabaret/dieselpunk/creepy circus etc world include: The Dresden Dolls (if you like them also Evelyn Evelyn and Amanda Palmer's solo work), Jill Tracy, Emilie Autumn (possibly my all time fav but a highly problematic person if that matters to you), Birdeatsbaby (their older work is more in this style than their newer stuff, esp Feast of Hammers which is apparently now under Mishkin Fitzgerald's name, but lots of their stuff is great), Bitter Ruin, Johnny Hollow, Aurelio Voltaire, Circus Contraption, The Jane Austen Argument, Sunday Driver, Pretty Balanced, and Rasputina. There are others, but this should be a solid start.
But before you go! I have one last , very very important recommendation: PAUL SHAPERA!!!!
Paul Shapera writes musicals. Exceptionally strange and wonderful musicals. They're mostly interconnected, and the first one that everyone starts with is entirely in a steampunk musical style. It's called The Dolls of New Albion: A Steampunk Opera and you should listen to it IMMEDIATELY. Not all of his work is steampunk, there's dieselpunk and cyberpunk and creepy circuses and fairypunk and everything strange and fantastical that you could possibly want. I'm constantly trying to get new people into his work, it's soooo good and fun. If you're at all into steampunk, dark cabaret, and musicals, please listen to The Dolls of New Albion and start your journey into the Shaperaverse. You won't regret it. You might get confused though; the first album is pretty straightforward esp if you read the lyrics, but later albums benefit from reading the wiki pages as well as the lyrics as you listen. It's sooo worth it though!!! Do you like steampunk? Romances? Tragedies? Horror? Musical theater? Queer stories? Stories about the power of storytelling? Interconnected worlds and fun world-based puzzles to untangle? THEN LISTEN TO PAUL SHAPERA WITH ME. Okay, that is all.
