Day 7: Exeunt - The Oh Hellos

Listen Here

Now, I am not the fool I was when I was younger Crocodile eyes, I have seen how you hunger Fluttering your lashes, like ashes and embers Warm and bright as fire devouring timber

Exeunt

verb used as a stage direction in a printed play to indicate that a group of characters leave the stage.

My Thoughts

The Oh Hellos and I go back about five years or so, and I've listened to just about every song of theirs, but nothing really sticks in my brain quite as much as the opening measures of this song. Like the musicality of it is so good. The string work, the rattling wave, the strong vocals. I just want to put it in my mouth and see if would explode like popping candy and fireworks.

Bit of a theatre nerd so it should not surprise you that I vibe with the title of this song quite a bit, but it's also highly symbolic in the context of the contents of the song as it's about the exit from a toxic relationship/situation (aka the stage) and it examines the characters in scene, essentially naming them to remove their power as they leave to make room for the new actors in the scene

This is almost a what if scenario of the conclusion of the relationship depicted in their other song Bitter Water

So I just finished S3, and I want to talk about Gabriel Motherfuckin Agreste. This motherfucker.  Leaving aside the decade-plus of emotional abuse heaped upon/directed towards his son, this is a guy who went from akumatizing targets of opportunity, so to speak, to specifically fucking with children so he could turn them evil.  CHILDREN.

All to get his (dead? sleeping?) wife back.  Right?  I mean I think that’s his overall scheme.  What I don’t get, though, is that Emilie is dead/acomatized through use of the Peacock miraculous, if I’m picking up what the show is laying down.  Which means she was using it to help Gabe, which means Gabe had a Plan before she exeunted stage left.  What was that plan?  Do we ever get to find out? Also I don’t remember this super clearly but didn’t the first monster, Stone Heart, appear before Master Wu had even given out the first two miraculouses?  So what was his plan then?  Hope?  Hope that creating this random monster in an arbitrary city would just so happen to result in the appearance of two superheroes who hadn’t been seen for two hundred years? Maybe he was born with it, maybe it’s bad writing.  WHO CAN SAY
