anyone else notice how literal monster from team starkid's 'nerdy prudes must die' and apex predator from the mean girls musical are really similar? (long yap below woop woop nerd alert)

they're in the same key

they both serve to introduce the main bully of the show

they both make reference to the animalistic, primal nature of high school's seemingly complex hierarchy

in that nerds and loners and losers are the "prey", and the popular kids/bullies are at the top of the food chain

lyrical similarities:

"he's got the face of a saint" and "don't be fooled by the pink, she is not playing dolls"

"he's got the hallway on lock" and "she is stalking the halls/for the thrill of the kill"

"best to drop and play dead" and "they go perfectly still"

"istg he has fangs" and "and it's kinda fun when she bares her claws"

and of course:

"a predator of my size" and "she's the apex predator"

you could probably remix them together if you wanted to! please lmk if anyone has done it yet because i desperately need to hear that 😩

are people born wicked, or do they have wickedness thrust upon them?

Thinking about Carpe Diem and the cinematography of falling leaves to falling snow.

Seasons as cyclical as generations. It's tapestries and banners. It’s photographs on the wall. A structure, a system; tradition in the bones of buildings and boys.

There's a choice to be made - Nolan's hollow, ceremonial Light of Knowledge, or Neil's scavenged, man-made God of the Cave?

They’re children living for the future through a lens of past. Fireside stories embraced by woodland caves. They chant, dance, and recite from a sacred book - the heirloom they claim from a father they chose.

The window is finally open, but time froze at Welton lake. Forever winter. Forever youth. A moment in time, a feeling, a community turned to dust.

It's all so fleeting. Carpe Diem. Teenage years, childhood, a lifetime in three months. It’s a tragedy of classical epics.

The tale is old, but this wound is fresh. Falling to your knees. Shouting at the sky, praying and wailing, and clutching at the earth.

But the snow never stops.

Spring is up to us.

can i just say how much i adore how Nao-chan's gender is treated so casually in skip to loafer

like, as a white cis woman who is also quite tall and havent read the manga i didnt even realize she was trans until this scene in ep2:

and i didnt even have the time to get nervous how they would handle this as they already moved on, ignoring the comments (just like queer people learn to do so) except for Mitsumi's comforting touch (implying she also heard the comments):

and there were no sad words or anything about this either, it was just handled so.... normally. which should not be something worth highlighting, but, well, you know. also on that note, special shoutout to P.A. Works for casting a woman as her voice actor as well.

she's shown being the supportive and lively aunt and like seconds later in this scene she's back to being her usual self again:

in conclusion
