Imagine

Imagine how much the fandom would revolt if Fitz x Linh happened?

bit of "revolution in the institution" during "i want candy" in the joe iconis haunted halloween special (from melanieraush)

I’ve been thinking iconisverse thoughts. Ms. Asp and the Squip are one and the same: created and molded and built for a purpose, to make the youth normal. They are not the system, they are perpetuators of it, and they genuinely don’t understand why their teens aren’t obeying. As their control slips, they decide their teens are beyond saving (Ms. Asp thinking the girls are just incapable of being helped and have powers to torture her, Squip deciding that just telling people what to do won’t work and he needs to make everyone get a squip) and they lose their carefully crafted persona of laid-back perfection. And then, in their final hour when everything has been ruined for them, they’re killed.

But at their cores, all they wanted to do was to fulfill the mission they were promised. Grant happiness and joy and stability. All they wanted was to help, but they were programmed to believe that help meant stripping away all that is good and unique.

a small detail I love in lihn is the connection between the building falling apart and sheila’s 1st and 3rd escape attempt. because we learn the building is falling apart during life in hate nation, foreshadowing the pipe breaking in the third attempt. it also shows that there was a larger time skip between the 1st and 3rd escape attempt because the pipe could support her weight in attempt 1 but not attempt 3. or there wasn’t a time skip and her 1st escape attempt weakened the pipes, thus saving her from her 3rd escape attempt.

for the character bingo - Susannah Son <3

hi babe!!!! thank you for being one of the 5 people left who still talk about lihn

Literally the protagonist of all time. I Hope still makes me bawl uncontrollably without fail, every single time I listen to it. She's complex and she's fragile and she's strong and she's sweet and she's funny and tragic and awkward, she is motivated at every point by love that she does not give herself, she is a heroine in every sense of the word and she earned her happy ending with teeth and scissors and flame. What a character. What a musical.

Pointing

"[Fun fact: It got awful reviews by critics who said it was amateurish and pointless and loud and who, incorrectly, referred to it as a spoof of sci-fi movies. Some things never change.]" from joe's instagram bolting upright BLOODSONG OF LOVE i am amazed & not in a good way by every nyt review i've read for science, about Any show, which probably i'd be less amazed if i'd also ever read anything by the nyt beyond that but like i'm also stunned i have so little like in depth Media Knowledge including about musicals & still end up slapped in the face by closing arguments like "and since bloodsong of love is a parody of spaghetti westerns (it's not) and since it is comedic hence unserious and ironic (...) and since i'm aware that spoofing spaghetti westerns has been done before i'm checking my nails" like i'm Pointing like [YOU] it's on sight sound or whatever. christ

obvious shoutout (literally shout) to the Extra aimless bitching (seems to be the default approach) about bmc including like sigh maybe i'm just old but could you damn kids turn down the music? an artistically inappropriate decision at all times but especially about kids who are head in hands yelling overwhelmed not having many acoustic downtempo times, damn them. i feel like i probably have the least familiarity with the genres / media broadway bounty hunter is expressed with, while still liable to understand it b/c these things culturally saturate as straightforward style/convention as well as more so reference/spoofing, but i can still be smacked in the gob like "B-movies exist b/c they are worse or they'd have been A-movies so a B-movies-influenced musical is worse" incredible insights like god damn now that's why They're the arbiter of culture (and ostensible commentator or analyzer or whatever in the process) christ. and other incredible offhanded reveals of various points of Perspective (And Knowledge) in there, certainly just like lihn's writeup, which does open with yet another banger all like "sniff ahem Well if you LIKE that awful little drumline" like that's right babey. Enemies Of The Dancing Youth In The '80s Movie publications that just so happen to also be the site for coordinating on spending on productions like and we're so graced with these records
