#lesson learned for the last time

[chubblesome]

I wish I could burn this advice inside my eyelids: If someone who used to treat you like shit - be it a friend, family member, or bully - reaches out to you on social media years after the fact, you are under no obligation to accept an apology, justify or excuse the harm they caused you, or accept that they have grown into a better person just because you have.

Once an abusive pattern of behavior is established, it's certainly not going to change with the passage of time alone.

forever thinking about johanna shooting fogg and what it says for both her and anthony as characters

because the whole show, from the very first scene, we've been set up to see anthony and sweeney as parallels of one another; anthony is sweeney back when he was benjamin, he's full of hope, he's in love (with a woman who looks almost identical to lucy), and then he gets that love brutally ripped away by judge turpin

in 'no place like london' sweeney says: "you are young, life has been kind to you-- you will learn" and by the point in the show where anthony is going to rescue johanna we're almost inclined to agree with him

except anthony cannot shoot the gun, he's not like sweeney in that he cannot kill another person even if it was to save someone he loved. anthony is never going to become sweeney todd.

and then we realize that we've been looking at the wrong person the whole show, and it's so obvious it's laughable: johanna shoots the gun.

johanna who has been raised to be silent and obedient and perfect, johanna who, without knowing the half of it, has had everything taken away from her by judge turpin, her mother, her father, and her freedom. johanna who we've been led to believe is the lucy to anthony's sweeney.

she is fully justified in shooting fogg, no one could fault her for it, but she doesn't even hesitate.

in that moment she is her father's daughter.

that isn't to say that I think johanna is going to go on a killing spree after the musical, obviously, but it's such a fascinating scene in terms of their development: because despite it all anthony is still the same, and because of it all johanna is not

anthony is the last bit of hope left in the story, and johanna is the last bit of sweeney

Who else gets an urge or desire to learn a new language or resume learning a language you tried to learn in the past because your f/o canonically speaks it? Either because that f/o is multilingual or because your f/o is from media from another country, like an anime from Japan or a cartoon made in Russia.

Who else likes to imagine their f/o helping you learn their language? Or you helping your f/o get better at your language? Raise your hand if this is you in any way.

I think my least favorite thing on the internet is how quick people are to call characters toxic just because they don't like them.

i am actually looking forward to the live action atla, and i am not looking forward to muting everything about it on every single social media because of how insufferable people are going to be about it not being the perfect adaptation they imagined in their own heads
