Still not over Sweeney Todd what do you meannnnn his wife was alive the whole time what do you meannn she was literally the first person he met when he returned to London but he couldn't recognize her because she didn't match the image of her in his head that he'd fixated on for the past 15 years, what do you meannnnnnn he killed his wife because he thought if he didn't he'd lose his chance to avenge his wife???

you don't get it. she loved him once. she didn't have a maester, she had a brother. he sold their mother's crown to keep them fed. he said Dany, please. she loved him, once.

Sadly, Bob and Sadie's meet-cute was marred by vertebral incompatibility.

this post from @lesbiancosmicowl hit me so fucking deeply, and as i finished reading it i heard the lyrics "grit my teeth and try to act deserving when i know there is nowhere i can hide from your humiliating grace" and the combination of those two things has led me here

realizing my recent jason posts makes it sound like i hate his character when that could not be farther from the truth. i love my unhinged toxic self sabotaging king. he has so many problems and over half of them are directly his doing. watching people grind down his sharp edges until he's a misunderstood softboy is what gets me up in arms like leave him alone he's doing absolutely horrible things to himself and everyone around him and you're going 2 accept that buddy!!

you know, I've been in the beatles hate trenches for years. I had to put up with people calling me an edgy tryhard for years just because I didn't like a band. like their music is only mildly annoying to me, but it's fucking inescapable, which makes things a lot worse.

and apparently at some point when I wasn't looking, a lot of people admitted they fucking hate the beatles and now when you say you hate them people are like "ugh you're just trying to be trendy!"

well, I'm not. my hatred for their music runs pure and deep. but if that's ~too trendy~ or whatever now, I can shift focuses.

my neighbor is currently playing bob dylan music super loudly and this nasal caterwauling makes me wanna claw out my eardrums

how's that

Something important for us all to remember is that we've had 3 years to make these characters our own, to internalize them. Fanon is not canon. My Vi is not your Vi is not my mutual's Vi. My Caitlyn is not your Caitlyn. My Jinx is not your Jinx.

We've had 3 years for them to grow and change, to identify with them and project on them, to mold them into what we need them to be.

We've had 3 years with an amazing starting point where we could veer off in so many different directions, not constrained by knowing what comes next.

We're about to know what comes next. All those possibilities, those dreams for what we wanted, are going to be unequivocally canon divergent (except for every fic writer who called Vi being a street/pit fighter, they get to be smug as hell).

There is only one canon.

I've fallen prey to this before, where after a long gap and making a character mine, she didn't react in the new canon to things like my version of her would have. That's ok. It doesn't make it bad storytelling on the actual writer's part. That doesn't make it out of character.

You get me? It doesn't make it bad or ooc if the characters in the new season aren't the way you predicted or want them to be. You will have time afterward to incorporate the new information, possibly re-evaluate your view of them, and make them your own again. (For good this time, bc it's the last season.)

So just watch and let things play out and let them settle before you get upset, ok?

Ok so i was researching individual trivia and facts for all the kny characters, which i could use in my Wisteria Street AU and

His character as a whole is a lot angstier than i first thought and i am. So digging this.

Question I’ve been thinking about recently: Does Sweeney Todd still fit the definition of a tragedy if it follows that definition beat by beat, EXCEPT FOR by the end of Act 2, Sweeney’s flaws arguably surpass the suffering he experiences, leading to some people being able to potentially argue that after Epiphany, his “tragic protagonist” status gets revoked by the whole, you know, mass genocide and cannibalism thing?

Like seriously, you’ve got the fatal flaw and drive for revenge, you’ve got the spiral into nihilism and the prior innocence destroyed by the injustice enacted on him that starts him on his spiral, you’ve even got by the end, a tragic knowledge he obtains that doesn’t hinder the inevitability of the tragedy in Lucy — but does Sweeney stay a tragic protagonist till the end if his means outweigh the ends? Like this man does some of the most abhorrent shit imaginable, but ALSO, he has an extremely sympathetic reason for doing so and he was partially taken advantage of and thrown into that spiral by Mrs Lovett. You’ve even got the intention of invoking fear and pity from the audience from the idea that the tragedy could happen to anyone, “to seek revenge may lead to hell / but everyone does it, though seldom as well”.

Is Sweeney Todd still a tragedy if its protagonist becomes unforgivable, but still highly sympathetic?
