Hello Pearl. I want to play a game. I bet you’re wondering why you’re in this cave. Well, you seem to have little regard for the sentiment of “Sisters before Misters”, so you will now be offered a choice. As you can see, you are now a crow. To your left is the corpse of The Astronomer, horrifically mauled by a Bear. The rules are simple. Either you must peck out the eyes of your lover and eat them, or simply starve to death alone. Live or Die. Make your choice. I’m sure Rose will have to be satisfied either way.

Some lyrics from “Ghost Quartet″ that make me go absolutely feral because yes:

and the dead girl leapt upon her mother / and her sister, and her daughter, and her lover / with the rage of four generations

where’s my ghost in the mirror? / i want one too

last night i dreamed / i met myself at a tango 

I’M CONFOUNDED BY MUSIC / AND BABIES AND LAUGHTER / AND STORIES AND GOODNESS / INFINITY AND LUCK / I’M CONFUSED BY THE NOTION / THAT SOMEBODY LOVES ME / AND DRUGS MAKE ME CRAZY / AND A CLAIRVOYANT TOLD ME ONCE I’VE GOT AN OLD SOUL / OH LORD I WISH I COULD SING LIKE THAT / BUT I DON’T PRACTICE ENOUGH

and the starlight i see / is a billion light years old / a ghost just like the rest of us / nothing i see is there anymore

and i don’t know if this is me at all / or just some ghost of me that i dreamed up / just to sing myself to sleep

i love the way you see the world / i love the way your soul sings / i wish that i could sing like you / i wish that i could feel things

if you can lose your temper / then i can lose my mind

oh roxie, why did you have to die? / i forgive you / oh roxie, oh roxie, oh rose

when i was a child i used to play / play with all the voices in my head 

but i guess it’s time to put that to bed / i guess it’s time to let the dead be dead

and i’m haunted by that memory / of who i used to be / so gleeful, so blank, so ready

it’s ok my dear / this is a circular story

this has all happened before

I WILL TRY TO FORGIVE MYSELF / FOR LIVING IN THE DARK / FOR MY LOSS OF WONDER / FOR FORGETTING HOW TO PLAY // I WILL TRY TO FORGIVE MYSELF / FOR BEING ABSENT IN PUBLIC / AND BORED BEFORE STARS // FOR NOT REMEMBERING / FOR NOT BEING IN MY BODY / FOR NOT STARTING RIGHT NOW // I WILL TRY / TO SEE MYSELF AS I AM

she sees her eyes when she closes her eyes / her eyes looking back at her / her eyes underneath her eyelids / she is always screaming

if i told you this is special / and love is more than chemicals / that it’s me and you / and angels too / and time will end / and we’ll transcend / and rise above the ash and dirt / and baby i could never hurt you / ‘cause you’re me

but when he tuck me in / with that sad little grin / i’d think maybe i don’t wanna know

there is blood upon my robes

I've been meaning to make this poll for a while. I have the characters organized into clusters based on the actor who plays them. Essentially, the question is: Do you relate the most to the characters portrayed by Brittain Ashford, Gelsey Bell, Dave Malloy, or Brent Arnold?

Dave Malloy really said ‘I will try to forgive myself / for being absent in public / and bored before stars / for not remembering / for not being in my body / for not starting right now / I will try / to see myself as I am’ and expected us to be ok, huh? Huh??

when u realize the song is called "fathers & sons" because like pearl and rose, the father (played in that song by dave malloy) and the son (played by brent) have a generational spiral thing going on. the son is alluded to be brent usher because in "usher, pt. 3" father usher says "our son had fled to new york city with his cello", just like the son promises to do in F&S ("i'm gonna play cello / in a rock'n'roll band"). which makes the father also dad usher - which tracks, because of what roxie said about their parents drinking all the time in "family meeting".

but in "four friends", dave's character sings about his own father, "sitting in the easy chair / he'd rip open your wax and pour a finger or two / and then he'd sit in the dark and just stare". and in "bad men" shah zaman (brent's character) says that when scheherezade dies he'll "keep drinking / for 42 years / and old old man / all alone in his chair". and we know that shah zaman is the man in iran talked about in "the astronomer": "he hasn't spoken to anyone alive in 42 years / he turns his mind off every day / and stares at the wall". THUS, if the man in iran = shah zaman, and the man in iran = the father in "four friends", THEN dave's father in four friends is shah zaman, who is played by brent.

so just like rose and pearl being both each other's mother and daughter at some point, brent and dave play both each other's father and son in different stories, which is why the title of F&S is plural.

#this is literally that one meme from it's always sunny with the guy in front of the board #i refuse to click on the genius explanations i MUST discover this convoluted musical for myself #this might be entirely wrong!! i'm legit just taking blind shots #like shah zaman in his bedroom GOTTEM #ghost quartet #dave malloy #brent arnold #the astronomer gq #the bear gq #i have more lmfao give me a sec

i was trying to get a friend into ghost quartet since she likes great comet already and he sends me a picture of the cast and asks me, referring to Brent Arnold, "HOLY SHIT IS JOSH GROBAN IN HERE TOO????"

She sees her eyes when she closes her eyes, her eyes looking back at her. Her eyes underneath her eyelids. She is always screaming. Screaming.
