Something I adore about this saga is how the songs all end with such powerful and forceful singing. It almost feels like Odysseus is trying to drown out the screams he hears by being louder with his own pain and convictions

there’s not enough lizzie ldshadowlady appreciation in this fandom and frankly I think we need to rectify this
she acts terrified of absolutely everyone except her husband, whom she is increasingly exasperated by. she and ren were rivalling dogwarts with their interactions. she was boogeyman twice in two different seasons and essentially did the exact same trap, that failed in essentially the exact same way, and somehow she still managed to get the kill because the person was too confused to process the fact they were being stabbed. she’s a fairy. she’s the shadow queen. she’s totally definitely pearl, she just has an amnesia cold. she spends half her time complaining about her husband, and the other half flirting with him in front of people. her dogs were named dragon, ogre and taxes so they’d be intimidating. ‘and so I left this world how I entered it: confused.’ she griefed the server. jimmy killed her.

One of the most brilliant things Starkid ever did was introduce Jon Matteson in a show where he didn't sing for like 90% of it so we could see his acting talent and then save his vocal talent as a big reveal at the end

i’m obsessed with the first album people bought with their own money (not a gift or inherited). says so much. for me it was avril lavigne’s let go and the shrek soundtrack.

something about the sort of immortalization of louis' voice with the fans voices on an official album is making me so emotional

hey fun fact I was looking up red carnations because of Hadestown (I want to wear one when we go see it in April and was like hey what do these flowers actually represent) and while looking them up saw they are apparently a flower of love and passion in english speaking countries which is what I had always kind of assumed. But TURNS OUT! In Germany (I am german btw) red carnations were historically a symbol of protest, a flower symbolizing the united workers, a symbol of the working class protest and honestly that FITS WITH HADESTOWN JUST AS WELL IF NOT MORE???!!! Like, Is It True is just a labour protest song (What's the use of his backbone if he never stands upright, if he turns his back on anyone that he could have stood beside; I believe that we are many, I believe that they are few, and it isn't for the few to tell the many what is true), and it's literally a flower for labour unions? And that's literally what Orpheus does in Hadestown, he unionizes the workers on the wall!!! What a wild connection I never made before
