Old Man Shopkeep: Donuts! Get your donuts here!

Yang: Did you see the killer? Did you?!

Old Man Shopkeep: Killer? What killer? Why? Ah... He killed someone, so that's why you're calling him a killer, right?

Yang: What are you; the village idiot?

Old Man Shopkeep: No. Why do you ask?

Yang: Yes, a killer! What, do I gotta demonstrate?

Old Man Shopkeep: Ah! You probably mean that guy who was shooting from the rooftop with a rifle, right?

Yang: Right, now why would I mention him?

Old Man Shopkeep: If you say so. Say, how about a donut?

Yang: How much for a donut?

Old Man Shopkeep: Almost for nothing! 5 Lien for 10! You won't regret it! They cure anything and everything!

Yang: Give me a donut. I've got the munchies for some reason.

Old Man Shopkeep: Here you go! Enjoy your snack~!

putting a different meaning to the line “we’re gonna sing it again” (i’ve only listened to hadestown on repeat in the last 72 hours)

Q: Did you find out that Satan was talking to you on the Ouija board?

A: I mean, sure, there are miserable people out there who’ve made it their mission to ensure that life is as horrible as possible for the rest of us … but they don’t use a toy sold by Parker Brothers to get their marching orders.

Road to Hell

She was a poet that rivaled Apollo himself. Her voice could bend trees to her will, change the migration patterns of beasts, make water spring forth from rocks. She was a guiding light, a protective spell, a saving grace.

I thought I had more time. I thought she would finish the song and look up from her work and see me, the one who took her under his wing, the one who kept her fed, the one who warned her of the gathering storms. I thought she would be mine.

Lockwood tells the tale of the daughter of a muse and a young boy looking for something to eat.

New chapter of Road to Hell has been posted!

Once upon a time, many years ago, this little line absolutely knocked me on my ass.

[stupid-sexy-bishop]

The next chapter of whatever this is has been completed! The barest shakings of plot have been sprouted.

There are also some updated tags, so watch out for those if you're sensitive to dehumanization. That's probably going to be cranked up further later on, so please let me know if I need to add tags or warnings.

Listening to some Hadestown again and let me tell you one of my favourite things about it is that for every performance, every change in cast there’s different nuances to the story and the songs and the characters that really enforces the idea of cycles and it being a story told over and over again.

It's an old song / It's an old tale from way back when / And we're gonna sing it again and again

'Cause here’s the thing / To know how it ends / And still begin to sing it again / As if it might turn out this time

Like it just captures these lines perfectly and I just love it so much

What does it matter to you what road you take to hell? All the paths there are equal in the end.

one thing about me is i will quote road to hell from hadestown at every opportunity. like i’m just a sucker for this incredibly correct interpretation of… part of human nature? i guess? despite its simplicity
