I can’t include them all so here’s a combo of ‘came to mind first,’ ‘talked about positively most often by fans,’ and ‘stuck in my head’.

Public Apology Big Iron isn’t here. There were a lot that didn’t make the cut but that one specifically I stg I put in and only realized after posting had not. It was 100% meant to be on this list and I’ve failed us.

#fallout #fallout new vegas #fallout 4 #fallout 76 #tumblr polls #I know I Don’t Want to Set the World on Fire should be here bc it was a trailer song but I don’t really like it so Heartaches by the Number #made it instead I’m sorry ✊😔 #I FORGOT BIG IRON. that’s a sincere mistake I stg it was 2 on the list SHIT #why are you people so agreassive??? it’s not a ‘best fo song’ poll it’s not even a ‘favorite fo song’ poll it’s literally just a ‘pick a #song and hit a button fun time??? stop yelling in the tags about songs that aren’t there there are 12 slots on a poll I don’t control this #make your own stupid post and get rocks thrown at /you/ for only having 12 songs. also some of you can’t read ‘why isn’t X on’ IT IS!!! some #of the ones you’re complaining about are ThERE read #I’m gonna turn off reblogs and delete this maybe Jesus Christ it’s not even a competition it’s a song blunt rotation can’t you all be friend #ly about anything?

Jesus Christ Superstar is genuinely emotionally annihilating. It's about fate. It's about the tragedy of being condemned from birth. What if the villain never had a choice, what if he was just as bound by destiny as the hero? What if nobody wanted it to end this way and it still does? What if Jesus never wanted to die? It's about guilt. It's about dread. It's about not realizing what story you're in until it's too late. It's about Jesus singing insanely high rock vocals. It's about Judas in a fringe disco getup. It's everything.

#idk why I'm thinking about this rn but this musical is so close to my soul #maybe its the christian childhood/70s dad rock in me but it destroys me every time #jesus christ superstar #andrew lloyd webber #musicals

GET BACK, PART III — Ringo doesn't talk much, but when he says he's not going abroad, they are not going abroad. And when he says "I wanna go on the roof", they're going on the roof. (x)

#the psychology of this scene is unparalleled #the way george closes his eyes in the first picture like 'oh fucking christ not this again' #the way paul's head is litchreally about to explode from trying to keep everyone happy #the way ringo holds george's 'et tu brute?' glare in the 5th gif #and his smug nod to paul in the 6th #ringo knew he was the most powerful beatle. he just knew #john also coming to paul's rescue (but only after ringo does lol </3) #paul's panic-rocking #and to think they still stayed together another year-ish after this lmfao #btw yes paul DID say let's' that many times in the first gif. that is not an epic typo on my part #the beatles #mine #get back #beatles #paul mccartney #ringo starr #george harrison #john lennon

if you think that the huskerdust duet was victim blaming i need you to please gain some media literacy

but for the record there 100% should have been a content warning for SA

#he’s not blaming angel #he’s saying that he’s not alone at rock bottom #and that they’ll have each other #jesus christ y’all #hazbin hotel #huskerdust #angel dust #hazbin hotel husk #at no point is he saying you deserved this

Have you watched "Jesus Christ Superstar"? If so, what did you think of it?

Jesus Christ Superstar is in my top three favorite musicals - and I lettered in theatre and choir in high school so my list of favorite musicals is hilariously long.

Setting aside any discussion of the music and lyrics first, let's talk about the narrative. The story is very much about the humanity of it all - and how society treats their heroes. The tension between Jesus, Judas and Mary is a debate about how we balance (or fail to balance) our dedication to a movement over our devotion for individuals. And it features table flipping Jesus!!

Mary is devoted to Jesus as a person. "He's a man, he's just a man" she tells us. She focuses on comforting and caring for him. But in her concern for him individually, she has little demonstrated interest in his work to better the world.

Judas is dedicated to the movement. He is (justifiably) concerned that people are losing sight of Jesus as a prophet, making him into an idol instead of a visionary leader. But in his fervor for the movement, he forgets the individual. He seems unaware just how weighed down Jesus is, and likewise disparages Mary asking why Jesus would "waste his time on women of her kind."

As for Jesus? Poor Messiah is conflicted. He is overwhelmed by what is asked of him by both his followers and his detractors. He is reduced by The People to what he can provide to them, and by The Man to how he can give them influence. And he is resigned because he knows that he has obtained a level of notoriety without authority where he has few options left - his death is pretty inevitable for the sake of the movement.

You know who NEVER makes an appearance? God. God is absolutely silent and absent. Because in the end, Jesus Christ Superstar is not about God at all. It's about how the black and white thinking - devotion to individuals OR dedication to movements - both fail to actually provide us with the society we need.

Now, is the musical itself a bit clunky and cheesey? Oh yeah, definitely. But that is the charm of it. Rock opera just has an inherent kitsch to it that I adore. But it's also clever. Outraged religious leaders so often miss the actual point of the story which is also amusing. And I love the 1973 movie version, but I have loved every live performance I've ever seen. The message remains extremely relevant. And our family watches the movie every December.

And yes, in case anyone is curious, I am certain Aziraphale and Crowley saw JCS live. I bet Crowley loved it and spent weeks afterwards humming "Damned For All Time" to himself. Aziraphale probably refused to comment on the content, just being a snide bastard about the quality of the lyrics, then went home and cried over "I Don't Know How to Love Him."

#jesus christ superstar #rock operas for life #just theatre kid things #just like everything else in my life its connected to #good omens

once a year I fall into a deep rabbit hole called “the only thing I’m going to consume for two weeks straight is the 2012 JCS arena tour soundtrack/recording.” and by once a year I mean once a month. every month. for three years.

#it is now. now is that time #jcs 2012 #jcs #jesus christ superstar #tim minchin #ben forster #I have such a deep love for ALW’s Bible inspired musicals #and yet im not religious #I just love bizarre campy musicals with rock scores
