ok nope i’m not done @podcastenthusiast and @dancingwiththefae have set off a new round of brainworms i hope you’re proud of yourselves lmao
because like. it’s about the humility, right? it’s about admitting ignorance. it’s about acknowledging that sometimes you, personally, might not be enough to fix something, or someone, or that maybe whatever it is can’t actually be fixed. that it isn’t about fixing.
it’s “why so much makeup? you don’t need it, you’re so beautiful to me” vs “‘do you think i’m sexy?’ and oh god i really did”
it’s “i don’t know how to reach you when you get like this” vs “i don’t know, but i’m here”
it’s “stop making up death wishes and take my lifeline” vs “oh dear god, dear heart, don’t cry”
it’s “something’s sucking out your core and it’s so boring” vs “and now even though you’re mad…that’s ok”
it’s “can’t you see that i’m enough for you, but you don’t want me to be, because that means you’ll actually have to be content” vs “i will wait (for you to get better, for you to tell me what you need) and hope (that it’s still me)”
marbles answers the question “why so sad” with a partner who finally understands what she means when she says “stop asking why i’m sad, it’s enough to know i’m sad”
marbles is what happens when the partner of a mentally ill person stops trying to find a solution to the mental illness and decides to simply love them anyway. to wait, and hope, and sometimes pour them a drink and sit on the kitchen floor with them while they cry, and promise to murder their shitty customers for them. to not say “i’m enough for you” but instead “you’re enough for me, exactly as you are.”
(i know it’s about memory loss and not depression but eh depression can come with memory problems a lot and also sticking by a partner through severe mental or neurological illness looks pretty much the same all through, in the end)

one thing that really annoys me about a lot of les mis productions is their insistence on making the les amis de l'abc older than they are. i know it's partly a schematics thing with hiring younger actors, but to me so much of the tragedy behind the barricade comes from the fact they were kids. they were college students staring at a future they despised, desperate to change it, and they - and the hope they had for a kinder future - were slaughtered. i mean, hell, the musical talks about it! all the time! javert calls them schoolboys, turning is the mothers of paris staring at corpses of boys who could have been their sons, cosette eponine and marius are kids lost in their first loves. idk it seems like such a minor thing but to me it's so core to what makes this story so devastating
