Happy

[youshouldhavepaidattentiondad]

Miss Holloway smiles as she and Duke dance around the empty diner. The jukebox plays softly and the candles she has lit cast them in a dreamy glow. 

"I'm in love with you, you know that?" Duke asks her not for the first time. 

"I love you too," She answers. 

His expression doesn't change. She knows he's already forgotten she's said it. 

She bites back a sigh. "I don't blame you," She quips playfully, just like she always does. 

Duke laughs warmly as he spins her around, unaware his feelings are reciprocated. 

No matter how many times she tells him.

What if Duke is demiromantic and every time his memory gets wiped he falls in love with Miss Holloway a little bit faster because something in his heart remembers her even if his mind can’t?

I have spent so much time thinking about the miss holloway musical WHICH THEY HAVE ALREADY WRITTEN and I need to spill my thoughts about it

there is no point or end to this it’s just a brain fart of all the thoughts I’ve been having so enjoy I guess lmfao

“backstory”. it will be about her backstory. was she an 80’s music star who sold her mortal life for fame in a deal that backfired on her?? or was she a woman with the gift about to be hanged by the hatchet men who saved herself by making that same deal?? HOW FAR BACK DOES THIS GO IS WHAT IM ASKING WE KNOW FUCK ALL ABOUT THIS WOMAN

if it’s the former, I would love to maybe have mariah as casey (the girl with the gift in the witchwood who asked for her autograph) be an actual character who holloway maybe tries to help. also kim singing 80’s songs fuck yeah

and if it’s the latter then,,, oh wow. some heavy musical numbers, a shitload of hatchetmen / church of the starry children lore, and maybe another form of the lords in black (maybe the creepy hooded figures that we see drawn in the black book???)

also sorry EDIT I just looked at this picture again and the middle one (probably wiggly) is holding a knife. there’s no fucking way that’s not the black blade this is absolutely miss holloway guys omggggg

I would love to see this scene on stage with kim!!!! this would make 5 different forms of the LIB that we’ve seen / heard about (dolls, teens / humans, their true forms, wiggly in made in america, and whatever this is). I’m just imagining you see these black hooded figures, and then in the pro-shot you get a good look inside their hoods… and their faces are NOT human. like just imagine a massive purple eye staring out of one of those hoods, maybe even moving and blinking, a cool animatronic thing. SO CREEPY!! I also love the idea of switching up the actors again - I love jon so much as wiggly and I don’t think they would change him bc of his voice, but with the rest of them I think any actor can play a LIB which opens up so many possibilities…

I also would love to know how miss holloway met duke, and potentially even how many times they have met and then he had to forget her. considering the fact that we now have weird lore about his dad in 2005, did she know duke when he was younger?? did she help him out when he was a teenager, or help his dad?? is it a family thing, like she’s vowed to watch over the keane family or something??

duke’s dad is a big part of this tbh, because what a random insane lore / backstory drop, like WHAT? I genuinely have no idea what douglas keane sr’s murder could be about, except that it ties in to duke and to wilbur. and shows that 2005 is SO DAMN IMPORTANT

2005 was the year hannah was born, the year the portal to the black and white was created, the year wilbur cross went insane and became a disciple of the LIB, the year miss holloway took on the mantle of “miss holloway”, and (very likely) the year miss holloway and wilbur fought. so i think it’s safe to say that the musical itself will be set in 2005, which to me means macnamara and wilbur backstory alongside holloway and duke, which is very very fun

I like the idea that wilbur and macnamara were canonically together, and I really want to see pre-LIB wilbur. I also love the idea of macnamara and holloway working together or even becoming friends - despite being set a decade and a half before nightmare time, it would feel like the culmination of the two hanging plot threads / overarching arcs to me. also the idea that it was holloway who introduced macnamara to the paranormal and therefore essentially set up PEIP and doomed wiley is some juicy stuff that I would LOVE to see, especially if either macnamara or wiley lived in hatchetfield as kids and miss holloway helped them, inspiring whichever one of them to set up PEIP

ok so leading off of that I have a clear vision of a potential final scene that is driving me insane, and that’s the main reason why I patched together this post.

the final scene is the fight between miss holloway and wilbur, the one that happens in every single timeline.

and the basic idea is that we see both fights at once. there’s a song, and the stage is like black friday and spies are forever, with a level above the stage the actors can walk up to and stand on. joey and kim sing, and do their bit on the stage, but above the stage there are either doubles or a projection, mirroring the choreography. only in the pro-shot version, they would splice in joey and kim playing both pairs, which I just think would turn out looking really awesome despite being tricky to pull off live.

and yeah basically at the exact same time, one wilbur stabs holloway, and the other holloway stabs wilbur, creating a gorgeous visual representation of the newly splintered timelines.

either that or they do a trail to oregon and just do a different ending each night, and then splice them together in the pro-shot like I was saying. but I personally prefer the first one, if they’re able to pull it off and make it look good

and duke shows up just after that, having followed miss holloway throughout the story so far. and in the universe where wilbur’s dead, miss holloway makes him forget it all, hence this being the year that she takes on the new name and the fact that we know he has forgotten about her / her true past before. and then in the universe where holloway is dead, he holds her as she dies in his arms. bonus points if we get dying holloway saying “please don’t forget me” and living holloway saying “you have to forget me”. oh and just to be cruel, both dukes saying “I could never forget you” at the same time :) stew on that for a bit. yeah. fuck you I guess lol I woke up and chose violence today apparently

the idea of the two of them finding each other again after that in some timelines is just gorgeous to me, especially given the fact that NMT3 seems to suggest them finding each other AGAIN after she needs to make him forget. truly star crossed lovers they are so insane for this

in summary I guess what I’m trying to say is I think it will include miss holloway’s full backstory and then be mostly set in 2005, and centre around the opening of the black and white portal (macnamara and wilbur), miss holloway meeting duke (wilbur murdering duke’s dad, possibly something with lex and hannah if duke was already a social worker) and eventually the big fight between holloway and wilbur, ending in the audience seeing both potential endings. also obviously a reference to hannah’s birth because that seemed to be some kind of catalyst. thank you for coming to my utterly deranged ted talk goodbye

Just thinking about how despite that Miss Holloway has to change identities so often Duke still falls in love with each and every one in every universe <3

[kalakilo]

Gotham TV Series Character Playlists Part One

Here are the Gotham character playlists I created:

To Be Continued...

[lilacthebooklover]

'Because that's Duke's handwriting on the page: the same loopy scrawl that dances across each of his forms and documents. It's the shining midnight blue of a fountain pen someone he can't recall gifted to him for Christmas, the solid leather case he picked out on a whim whilst shopping, that muddy stain of spilt coffee after a long night splashed across the familiar lined pages. This is his diary.

And yet, Duke can't remember writing a single word inside of it.

Or: Every once in a while, Duke decides to make an entry in his diary. And every single time, Miss Holloway is left to deal with the fallout.'

(hey so what if i cooked)

[nabwastaken]

Manifesting Kyle in Miss Holloween. Maybe he's like Duke's nephew and he's at the wedding and him and Brenda make up. Let me have this

[youshouldhavepaidattentiondad]

Duke's fingers stroke the spine of the black book, his expression thoughtful.

“You should put that down,” Miss Holloway warns him,  already moving to take it out of his hands.

He steps back. “I know, but…” He grips the book tighter. “What if I made the same deal you did? What if-”

“Duke, no!” Miss Holloway shouts. She reaches for the book, tugging it out of his hands. “You don't want to do that.”

“But-” He starts.

She interrupts him. “It comes with a price. It all does. You don't even know the deal I made, what it would cost, how it would turn out.” She shakes her head as she hugs the book to her chest. “I can't let you do that.”

“But what if that's what it takes? To be with you?” He looks at her desperately.

Tears well up in her eyes. “I'm not worth it, Duke. I promise you I'm not.”

Now both Duke and Holloway have given the other a letter than emotional destroyed the reader.
