Apropo of a Reddit post, here is my casting for a Rat Grinders spinoff.
Kipperlilly Copperkettle: Aabria Iyengar. Loves being intense and bitchy in actual play.
Mary Ann Scuttle: Katie Marovich, obviously.
Ivy: Lily Du. Lily's niche on DropOut is being hot and mean, and she needs a real hot meanie to inhabit in the dome.
Oisin: Ify Nwadiwe.
Ruben Hopclap: Ruben is where it gets tricky. A lot of people on DropOut could play a good Ruben Hopclap. Grant could give us a great Ruben. Freddie Wong. Jacob Wysocki. Brian David Gilbert. All potential legendary Ruben Hopclaps.
In a sequel to Junior Year: Grant O Brien could be a great Buddy Dawn, but I'd really give this role to Ross Bryant.
In a prequel to Junior Year: Honestly, I think the best Lucy would be Oscar Montoya. I don't know why, but that feels right to me.

i cannot get mad at myself for not being good at answering texts and dms n emails n returning phone calls when i know in my heart that human beings were never meant to receive this much correspondence. even half as much would make you a busy person. like its ridiculous what we’re all doing to each other. smash your phones

The Circle of Needle & Thread as Radiohead songs
Inspiration has struck! I am obsessed with Candela Chapter 2 and also really like Radiohead so I kinda just had to. Dunno if this is for anyone but it fits so well!
1. The whole circle:
Pyramid Song
I jumped in the river and what did I see?
Black-eyed angels swam with me
This one fits on vibes alone but also bc of the river in the last ep and the black-eyed angels could be the creatures if you squint.
The Gloaming
Murderers, you're murderers
We are not the same as you
When the walls bend with your breathing
They will suck you down to the other side
To the shadows blue and red.
We are not the same as you? I mean c'mon! The walls bending at the Fourth Pharos, They will suck you down to the other side, blue and red light! It just fits!
Spectre
I'm lost, I'm a ghost
Dispossessed, taken host
My hunger burns a bullet hole
A spectre of my mortal soul
Because of the 'host-thing' and the romance themes, this feels like it leans more towards Marion. But it kinda is too dark for his hopeful personality. We also got lines like "anger is a poison" which feels very fitting for Sean. Sidenote: I still get so angry thinking about how they rejected this song for the Bond-movie wtf?
4 Minute Warning
This is just a nightmare
Soon I'm gonna wake up
Someone's gonna bring me 'round
Running from the bombers
It's PTSD innit?
2. Jean "Jinnah" Basar:
Everything In Its Right Place
Everything in its right place
Yesterday, I woke up sucking a lemon
This one is a given! Not much to say except that it speaks to Jean's exact and analytic nature.
House of Cards
I don't want to be your friend
I just want to be your lover
No matter how it ends
No matter how it starts
Jean's balancing of Candela and EONS being like a house of cards. Her initial denial of her own guilt and relationship to magick. Her feelings towards Marion.
3. Marion Collodi:
Daydreaming
Dreamers, they never learn
Beyond the point of no return
Also a given! This was honestly what inspired me to make this post in the first place. Both the vibe and the lyrics fit very well!
Desert Island Disk
Born of a light, born of a light
The wind rushing 'round my open heart
An open ravine with my spirit wide
Totally alive and my spirit light
Marion and his soul, especially the speech in ep 3 where he says he feels whole without one.
4. Sean Finnerty:
2+2=5
It's the devil's way now
There is no way out
You can scream and you can shout
It is too late now
Because you have not been paying attention
Gaahh I am unable to be normal about Sean Finnerty! Can I appropriate a song written about George W. Bush to be about Dr. Oliver Nero? You betcha! To me this song speaks to the lies told by authority figures and how they have destroyed Seans life.
Ful Stop
You really messed up everything
If you could take it all back again
Strike up the tinderbox
Why should I be good if your're not?
Why should I be good if you're not! Very much giving Sean in ep 3!
5. Beatrix "Auntie Bea" Monroe
No Surprises
Such a pretty house and such a pretty garden
Bring down the government, they don't speak for us! The rest is self-explanatory.
Give Up the Ghost
Gather up the lost and their souls into your arms
Gather up the pitiful into your arms
Auntie Bea and all those she takes under her wing.
6. Nathaniel Trapp
Go to Sleep
Someone's son or someone's daughter
Over my dead body
This is how I end up sucked in
Over my dead body
A song about the dehumanizing effects of war. Trapp's guilt over Marion and the Finnerty boys getting sucked into the military.
Glass Eyes
Hey, it's me, I just got off the train
A frightening place, the faces are concrete grey
In the oh-so-smug glassy eyed light of day
Get it? Because of his eye? And also anxiety... and trains!
Bonus: The Creatures:
We Suck Young Blood
Are you fracturing?
Are you torn at the seams?
Would you do anything?
The Candela vibes are strong with this one!
Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor Rich Man Poor Man Beggar Man Thief
The ones you light your fires to keep away
Is crawling out upon its belly
And all you have to do is say yes
Both these songs remind me of the son trying to convince Sean to let him in.
Update! How could I forget:
Suspirium (By Thom Yorke)
When I arrive will you come and find me?
Or in a crowd be one of them?
Mother wants us back beside her
No tomorrows, at peace
An anthem for the son!
