not to vague blog about a random podcast but I was listening to a Hadestown review yesterday and both of the hosts were genuinely surprised that the people they went to see it with had political readings of the show re: capitalism and climate change. like they even said "people are reading too much into it" and "i didn't think it was one of those shows that was trying to be deep."
??????
i don't want to dunk on internet randos TOO hard, especially since they were both new to the show and i think Hadestown's political subtext is a lot more nuanced that like... hamilton or whatever, but. come on. the utter incuriosity behind "they're reading too much into it." one of them even said their favorite song was "why we build the wall." what do you even get out of that song if not an anti-capitalist message about the circular logic that fascists use to perpetuate exploitation of the working class by fearmongering about poor immigrants coming to take their jobs?
Dunmeshi request, Chilchuck and Marcille interacting? 🥺 Or standing next to each other that works too. Could be hugging, or sharing a meal/food, or…
Got a bit out of hand with the prompt XD I ended up doing a scene inspired by this fic! Based on that time Marcille Izutsumi and Chilchuck were sharing a bed in chapter 47. It felt very memorable so I tried to recreate it but I kind of went offscript because I was basing it on my recollection of the fic lmao
^Obsessed with this guy and how he lets Izutsumi use him like a hot water bottle bc it's comfier.
I think he'd hardly ever act this soft + tolerant of physical affection unless it's situations like this: When the others are too sleepy to remember it LOL
