The fact that not Percy but Vex is the last person to have killed 4/6 of the people whose names are on The List (regardless that Cass wasn't supposed to be on The List and that killing her was accidental & rectified asap) makes me absolutely feral about them

saying kazui's story is about homophobia isn't wrong, but it's focusing entirely on a small part of the overall picture. even if kazui lived in a world where being gay was accepted, he'd still be suffering, because it's so much more than that. the toxic expectations and pressure forced onto men all their lives, the level of responsibility and independence adults are assumed to have, the huge importance placed on family- these are huge parts of his character that i worry people overlook in favour of just talking about queerness

ya know, what made epic the musical such a joy for me personally is seeing it actually develop throughout its 4-5 year long history and I don't just mean like from the ground up and everything. I mean it in a way as someone who immediately clocked Jorge Rivera-Herrans as a fellow playwright heavily inspired by Lin Manuel Miranda's style - which fucking meant of course most of the early publicized drafts of epic were raps because of course they are (this is not meant to be a slight because like I totally get him)!

But like actually seeing Jorge apply the lessons in LMM's writing into his own original style that is befitting to the story he wants to tell - and not only that, he literally took his audience along with him on his journey with every tried-and-tested demo and audition and everything, and the actual pre-production and production process of writing an album is something we don't usually get at all, especially in something as extensive as a musical concept album!

Like what really had EPIC make it's mark on the internet and on musical theatre (especially INDIE MT) is that it was a literal Odyssey of sorts - the creation of this entire fucking thing was a journey from beginning to end and we were all invited to witness it from behind the scenes while also having many artists among fans be a part in its creation one way or another, while also observing how Jay had his own artistic development throughout - from someone whose epic was quite obviously heavily stylized after Hamilton, into an artist whose style he can call truly his own.

I have so much more to say on how and why epic became such an iconic piece of work and perhaps being the first MT work in 2020 to truly define the decade, but all in all let's just say I'm glad to have witnessed the growth of an artist - and I'm excited to see what art this will inspire in turn.

The thing that kills me about the Star Wars prequel trilogy and why I will die on my hill that my problem is not that Star Wars is a tragedy, its that its a badly written tragedy, is that Anakin Skywalker was at his closest to being a good Jedi when he was ten years old.

Heyyyyyyy anyone got any book recommendations for fans of The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells, The Locked Tomb by Tamsyn Muir, and What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher? (Current favorite books/series) (I'm going to be travelling a lot the next two weeks and I'm trying to find some new books)

think i'm genuinely faceblind tell me why i can spend this much time looking at pictures of musicians and still not be able to imagine them at all even with my eyes closed and also if i see them slightly out of context cannot recognize them at all

[toxooz]

ever since that one ask i keep thinking abt Jakkans timeline with the whole 'Ollie's demonic genetics cause him to age super slowly and outlive everyone else' so hes like 1000 years old but only looks like he's in his mid 40s but hes also like a half cyborg at this point

favorite 20th century book, 21st century book, song of the past week? <3

ooh I was just talking to my sister about this but if there were a goodreads bot like that spotify bot that judges your music I would 100% get "you're too trendy for your own good" because I rarelyyy read books written before 2000 (or even like. 2020 most of the time unless it's non fiction in recent years tbh) lmao 😭 I really liked ponniyin selvan and animal farm. rk narayan's stuff and satyajit ray's feluda stories are iconic obviously. malory towers was my favourite series growing up and it'll always have a special place in my heart. i havent finished them yet but i feel like the joy luck club and annie on my mind are shaping up to be favourites too <3

21st century is HARD bro i have too many i can't pick just a few faves:') history is all you left me is my all time comfort book. i adore so many of kelly loy gilbert and adiba jaigirdar's books but if i had to choose i'd say when we were infinite and hani and ishu's guide to fake dating. the hunger games series is iconic. black iris and cam girl by elliot wake. these letters end in tears by musih tedji xaviere is a new favourite and i will never leave you by kara a kennedy just blew me away yesterday <3
