As much I’d like a Broadway RetJ production, though…I just know they will adapt it in these key ways:
It’s a comedy!!! Teens being teens fighting and lusting after each other!!! Jokes and gags everywhere even when inappropriate!!! It’s all a good time with our 2000s pop score!!! What do you mean Presgurvic’s score is more operetta than pop, we really just want another & Juliet hit!!! Shut up and give us your money dance!!!!
It’s about the Feud(tm), not the icky romance!!! It’s a cautionary tale of prejudice, machismo, and extremism!!! R&J don’t really matter but as 2-dimensional ciphers in this tale of internecine conflict!!! Verona is tough, gritty, and dystopian, and believe you me, it’s going to look it!!! Come see West Side Story 2.0, featuring our author pets protagonists Mercutio, Benvolio, and Tybalt and this cute side couple!!! Wait, why do you keep mentioning this popular Hungarian version of the musical? Honestly, we’ve never seen it (nor will we ever). Even if we have, ours will be worse different, okay? Just trust us!!!
I’m sorry, but this concert operetta shit just won’t fly on ✨Broadway✨, home to such masterpieces as Mean Girls the Musical, so we’re going to cut songs and replace them with idiotic dialogue pronto. Shakespearean, of course, because that works so naturally and seamlessly with the modern pop-rock score/19th century Viennese operetta vibes. We need to correct the grievous sin error of Presgurvic for not having even Shakespeare paraphrase, after all. Not because we’re fans of the play, pfft, hell no, we just have this overly literal idea of a musical being like a play so not to have Shakespeare is just wrong, you hear?
We’re not even going to do an actual production, lol, we’ll just do a concert in English à la Kristina från Duvemåla, see if it holds water, idek. Even if it is popular we’ll come up with an excuse not to do it anyway. You know us.

I need non autistic people to realise meltdowns are a real debilitating thing that has a serious effect on your mental and physical health NOWWWWW!!! The way its been trivialized and lessened pisses me the fuck off. It's not a tantrum and it doesn't come from "being too weak-willed" it's painful and it's embarrassing AND MOST OF ALL IT'S INVOLUNTARY!! Don't claim to be an ally to autistic or disabled people and then make fun of people who have meltdowns. Literally get the hell out of my sight

interesting how fords been surrounded by triangles his entire life. looks like ford and bill were always doomed to meet each other
ford did seem to think that he is destined to be in gravity falls, destined to be part of greater things, and bill also thought he was "destined for so much more"
to quote on alex, "that's ford's great flaw, is arrogance. is he believes that there's special people, and everyone else. that human attachments are actually weaknesses. and the song and dance that he’s giving dipper right now, is the song and dance that he gave mcgucket, back when they were younger… ‘you and me are different, we’re better than everyone else. we have a path that no one else can understand, and only us can do this.’"
i think at some point bill really thought ford was the one that UNDERSTOOD him (well, ford did think "why did rudolph not simply kill the other reindeer? he shouldve burned his workshop to the ground"). some of his henchmaniacs didnt seem to actually like bill at all
quick edit for something ive found:
this is from "dreamscaperers", and apparently ford had been dreaming about the cipher wheel for weeks before he even found the cave. enough times that he was even able to perfectly draw the wheel on the journal. bill didnt even know about ford yet.

Four people in my department have had complete mental breakdowns in the same week and had to miss work. About a third of the people in my office are currently experiencing caregiver burnout. I have no memory of today's zoom meeting except that everyone in it had the thousand yard stare of a caged tiger:

qimir is insane actually. imagine seeing identical twins and then going 'one of you is okay, the other one is extremely hot' and then he can tell them apart without effort. blindfolded even
