#with the heart-wrenching music

[batbobsession]

I will never not compliment the intricacies of the 2017 Beauty and the Beast remake

...because six years later, I still discover things like THIS

They didn't have to make the halls of the castle paradolic, but they did, and now the castle has a face that fades into darkness after the staff dies.

Guys, the castle dies too.

#girlies when lautski #they r my lockscreen #and every time i look at it #i go a bit more insane #i think they rlly struck such a great balance #with having them have those tragic heart wrenching moments #that i'll be thinking abt for the next 5 years #and also having them end the show happily dancing to a song #that sounds like its from high school musical or sth #lautski #stephanie lauter #pete spankoffski #peter spankoffski #steph lauter #idk which tag of their names to use #so the clear answer is both #both is good #npmd #nerdy prudes must die #npmd spoilers #hatchetverse #starkid

My favourite things in Operation Mincemeat (I've sadly only listened to the cast recording since it's not possible for me to travel to Britain right now and there is no bootleg yet anywhere to be found):

The gender-indifferent casting is done so well. I don't even mean this like gender doesn't matter in Mincemeat, it certainly does, but Ewen Montagu being played by a woman works so well and you completely forget about the actor's gender when listening to him. The same goes for Hester Leggett, she is the perfect archetype of a prim and proper older englishwoman, while being played by a young man. Gender truly is a performance, huh.

Montagu and Cholmondeley have this wonderful Bialystock and Bloom vibe going for them.

All of Born to Lead and God, That's Brilliant... The utter conviction the MI5 guys have in them being God's gifts to British espionage and the best most special boys in Britain... "‘Cause if you’re in trouble, don’t scream and shout – Just call the English public school boys; we’ll sort it all out!"

Sir Bernard Spilsbury in all his ghastly glory. "If you're after buckets of gore, here's Brian, he's basically a lung in a drawer" "NO!!" "...it's just Brian"

Dear Bill.. Just... One of the songs of all time. I don't have to talk about it because everyone loves it. An absolute gut punch of a song.

Something about the individualist thinking exercised by Montagu and the other MI5 boys contrasted with the team spirit of the submarine crew.

"Goose-step to the left, jump to the far right" 😐

Even though Useful is uplifting, it's also heartbreaking. Something about both Jean and Hester thinking about how they'd like to be honored for their service, Jean wanting medals and statues and the King recognizing her efforts, Hester wanting something small and sensible... Something about one wanting everything and the other wanting so little and them both settling for nothing. "No medals, no statues, no plaques, no flowers for Hester and Jean"

Montagu telling Cholmondeley about how you get "morons" to do what you ask by telling them how smart they are, only for Jean to do the exact same thing to him.

How the musical ends by actually giving Glyndwr his name and identity back... I know it doesn't really change anything, it doesn't make his story any less sad, but if no one mourned Glyndwr Michael when he died, I am glad people are at least crying now.

#don't get me wrong this musical is funny as fuck but some parts wrench your heart out #operation mincemeat #i need to draw fanart or something this is eating my brain

[jamiebowerserenity]

Omg the ending of the song😭😭

#jamie bower #jamie campbell bower #jamiecampbellbower #beautiful #love #omg #music #heart wrenching

[jobrker]

as much as sondheim claimed that sweeney todd is just a silly little time, it's actually an absolutely devastating tragedy and the fact that this isn't widely discussed is an insult

#johanna quartet is always blocked as a goofy time killing people 🤣 #but it's not #sweeney literally decided to think of his dead as dead in that song #he's given up on her #i love the comedy of this musical. a little priest? slaps. but above all it is a heart-wrenching story. #it's a screwed up story and it is horrifically sad #i understand the appeal for it comes from the edgy humor but it's so much more than that #sweeney todd

[calamitys-child]

"Listening at a high volume for too long is bad for you" listening to tmg at anything Less than maximum volume for too long is bad for you!!!!!

#i dont wanna be able to hear anything but the weird jangly pulse of music and the howling of the most incomprehensibly gut wrenching lyrics! #this is not a playlist this is a heart rate monitor!!!! do not unplug!!!!!!

[iforgottoremember]

So I dunno who here knows about Epic The Musical but the new concept album? Listen to it. It’s amazing. I love every aspect of it except for the part where Odysseus decides to be an idiot but even that part is beautiful

Anyways here’s a little drawing I did for “My Goodbye”

#survive is now my favorite song #the weak “captain’’ and then the SMASH #‘he’s got a club…he’s got a club—’ SMASH #‘what are our orders ? captain? CAPTAIN—’ SMASH #and then the ‘600 lives I’ll take *SMASH* 600 lives I’ll break *SMASH* and the rest??? #it’s amazing #also my goodbye is great too #whoever helped write that song please check on them because that was a heart wrenching break up song #epic #epic the musical #the odyssey #odysseus #polyphemus #the cyclops saga #jorge rivera herrans

your son is NOT fine he is listening to track four of the Merlin season 4 soundtrack and WEEPING AS GOD ONCE WEPT

#sometimes a track is beautiful not just because it’s well composed but because they perfectly translate the specific emotion and context #into music #and that’s what happened here and ACTUALLY ITS NOT FUCKING OKAY OF THEM #THIS IS EXACTLY HOW THAT GOODBYE FELT THIS TRACK HOLDS EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS MOMENT AND THESE CHARACTERS AND JUST #it’s so beautiful and it’s making me UPSET #when 1:19 hits. jumping off a cliff rn #HEART WRENCHING #IN ACTUAL TEARS OVER THIS #hunting down Michal Pavlíček to make him apologize for what he did to me personally #bug live blogs

mr. sunshine is an absolutely spectacular and beautifully poetic show that burned so brightly to me—that i know for a fact i will never put myself through the pain of watching ever again.

#unless i do decide my like of pain and suffering overrides my emotional self-preservation #in which case—of course—i will eat all my words on this matter. #but like😭really #i feel like my heart has been clawed out and viciously mauled #in the most exquisite way #this won't be a drama that fades fast from memory #that's for sure. #and honestly #what a fascinating and heart-wrenching point in history #what an incredible cast of characters #the direction... the costume and set design #the sound and music #(the motifs of greensleeves & the use of red are two things that particularly stood out) #i'm just. #i'm in awe as much as i'm in mourning #mr. sunshine #mr sunshine #performative journaling #kdramas #korean dramas

thinking about daredevil yellow again im not. going to make it Guys.

#static.soundz #crying screaming and hitting the ground. so good. it made me cry really bad #bc whenever i think about jack n matt it always makes me think of me n my dad for various reasons #when matt said i couldnt feel his heartbeat inside me anymore. no words. #i rambled about it on my main but dd is very much intwined in an interesting and special way with my own heavy grief about my dad #and matt was a very important character to me during that time of my life for the exact same reason. #it's why i take a lot of very heavy issue when things try to make it so his dad died in his childhood as opposed to college #bc a) think it takes away a lot of the important nature of their relationship and b) my own personal projection #bc all grief at any stage is highly personal and unique and particular #but it really does feel like. matt is really just starting to become an adult (depending whether he dies when matt's in under or post grad) #(bc i can never remember which) but he's not quite a mega established one. there's still that lingering of childhood #so even though he's grown. it just hurts in a very particular way. they saw you grow up. but they didnt really see you become an adult. #they did not see the person you're going to be. that you are. that you're becoming. it feels like such a bizarre unfair moment in time. #bc why now? why not when i was younger? why not when i was truly an adult adult who is expecting to lose you now? #why at this moment and no other time? #but thinking about matt going i wish i told my dad how much i loved him. #more than anything when he goes 'i love you dad. did you hear? i love you.' #it made me cry like a fucking bitch. honest to god tearing up when i type about it. it wrenches my heart it twists it and it makes me wanna #drop to my knees and just weep and weep and weep. they are everything to me. #i have intertwined a lot of matt's grief with mine in a way that makes him so so so important to me. because as stupid as it fucking sounds #that comic and him as a character are everything to me. so genuinely. they were a lifeline my freshman year #when i was so depressed all i could do was read comics. or listen to music #i could do nothing else. i did. clearly. i did work and assignments. but dd was everything to me alongside dm #im sorry i am being an actual like nutbag in my tags im sorry i just have a lot of feelings. this story is everything to me ever ok? ok.

high as hope by florence + the machine is forever criminally underrated

#not a single day passes without me thinking about the end of love #not a single song feels more gut wrenching and like someone just pulled my heart out and pried it open to see what‘s inside #i love it endlessly #all of the album #i think about june with: you were broken hearted and the world was too #so much #and LIGHT OF LOVE (not the album sorry) with #i wanted to get it right so badly that i always got it wrong #florence and the machine just makes me go wild with the music and lyrics #i love them so much #i love florence welch

[whumble-beeee]

omg you love musicals??? do you know starkid???

if by "know" you mean watched all of their musical at least twice bare minimum and scream-sing many of their songs while in the car on the daily and had a Nerdy Prudes Must Die was my favorite musical for a HOT minute when it came out (as well as TGWDLM) and watching VHS christmas carol is now a tradition that I forced upon my family and I still rewatch their musicals whenever i'm in a slump to make me feel better and I literally did a monologue from Spies Are Forever in an actual, real life, really important audition--

Then yeah I think I know them. They were the ones that made that one weird musical based on dicks, right?

#bee talks #not whump #yes starkid are some of my favorite creators ever lol #realizing now thet my writing is actually somewhat inspired by them #the way they weave in comedy and serious plot points and make heart-wrenching stories out of admittedly batshit insane scenarios #I'd love to see them live someday. or perform in a starkid musical #anyway if you have anything more specific you wanna talk about lmao #I would love to keep the conversation going :)
