trembling with ill-concealed rage until i see a funny negative review for Dear Evan Hansen at which point all the anger dissipates like mist and i am left at ease, a tranquil smile on my face as i find myself at complete peace with the world

“Line Without a Hook” - Ricky Montgomery

Oh, baby, I am a wreck when I'm without you

I need you here to stay

I broke all my bones that day I found you

Crying at the lake

Was it something I said to make you

Feel like you're a burden?

Oh, and if I could take it all back

I swear that I would pull you from the tide

“An Act Of Kindness” - Bastille

An act of kindness

Is what you showed to me

It caught me by surprise

In this town of glass and ice

Kindness, so many people passed me by

But you warmed me to my core

And you left me wanting more

“The Man Who Laughs” by Victor Hugo

[Dea] had learned what Gwynplaine had done for her, from Ursus, to whom he had related his rough journey from Portland to Weymouth […]. She knew that when an infant dying upon her dead mother, suckling a corpse, a being scarcely bigger than herself had taken her up; […] Where every one else would have hesitated, he had advanced; that where every one else would have drawn back, he consented; that [Gwynplaine] had put his hand into the jaws of the grave and drawn out her—Dea. […]

In the ideal, kindness is the sun; and Gwynplaine dazzled Dea.

How could I have known a prince would find me in the snow?

If you hadn’t found me, I’d have died there long ago.

i think this is my favorite way to draw Grinpayne

[image description: two digital drawings of Grinpayne from The Grinning Man, in a simplistic, cartoony style. There are stitches going up from the corners of his mouth to his cheeks, and he’s frowning. He has dark, tired lines under half-lidded eyes, with his eyebrows raised and knitted together. Overall, his expression shows that he is generally miserable and very tired. The first image is him from the knees up, head tilted to the side. Next to him is the caption, “THE WORLD’S MOST EXHAUSTED MAN” with the subtitle of “please let him sleep, he really needs it.” The second image is him from the shoulders up, slumped over, and he says, “I don’t wanna be a circus freak, I just wanna go back to bed.” End description.]

“The real moral of Hadestown to me is, yes, we’re fucked, but we still have to try with all our might. We have to love hard and make beauty in the face of futility. That’s the essence of what Persephone sings at the end of the show: “Some birds sing when the sun shines bright / my praise is not for them, but the one who sings in the dead of night / I raise my cup to him.””
