Their bodies belonged to each other because they were the same body. They had been just one person, long ago, but had been cut from one another before they were born.
i wanted to draw something like this for so long and i finally did... not perfect, but that's ok i guess. i miss them everyday

falsettos - the case of harmonizing
I've been recently obsessed with Falsettos (2016) yet again, and I have a lot of thoughts. Pls note that i haven't had music classes since i was 12 so i might be completely wrong but if YOU know the answer to my question please comment and talk to me about it !!!
As we all know, music and melody is an important theme in this musical, especially in the first act and while ive been listening to the soundrack i started to wonder: how important is harmonizing? To be more precise: how important harmonizing is for MARVIN'S character?
So, in Tight Knit family Marvin states that "[he wants] a group that harmonizes". But as the musical progress he rarely actually harmonizes with the group he wants to: Trina and Jason.
Its evident in Everyone Tells Jason to See a Psychiatrist. At first, Trina and Marvin try to convince Jason to see Mendel using completely different arguments, while Jason rejects the idea - they are all singing different melodies and lyrics:
When they finally start siging together, they sing exactly the same notes and exactly the same lyrics:
It shows how they finally all agree on something for a second, but it's that the family is a mess and nothing more.
Then the intresting part happens:
While they do use the same words, they sing it in harmony, that appears to be "clashing" and simply umpleasant. It highlights how they can't seem to understand each other and how, against Marvin's wishes, they do not harmonize nicely. While the progression uses chromatic scale which consists of minor seconds (which are forms of dissonance) it also uses perfect fifths and perfect forths. Both are perfect and consonance (which means in theory they should sound pleasant) but it's worth noting that perfect forths are concidered "stylistic dissonance". I believe (but might be wrong) that also diminished fifth is used, which enhances the unpleasnt harmony (in middle ages it was forbidden to use such progression as it was so unpleasant it was believed to be evil, almost devil-like.
It's also interesting to me that the one creating this dissonance is Trina - Marvin and Jason sing the same melody. Perhaps, it's highliting the fact that Trina is a woman, therefore it expands on the gender roles theme, OR it's showing how Marvin is trying to get his son to love him and communicate with him; here, he is very close to that. It's just a shame this is the only thing they're agreeing on at this point of the musical.
Here, Marvin and Trina finally agree on how to talk to Jason, use the same arguments and sing unisono - they're on the same note, literally and metaphorically.
To digress for a moment, I want to focus on this fragment:
In contrast to Marvin's attempts, Mendel almost immediately sings with Trina and Jason unisono. It showcases how Mendel will get the "nice, tight family" and Marvin will keep wishing for the "tight-knit family". (on a side note, I love the connotations that come with tigh-knit and how it's reversed in reprise with "nice, tight". I love that reprise in general it's so good.)
Bonus points because rel and also "tired" it's sang in major third which is concidered to be a happy interval and "one of the most consonant intervals".
Except for those examples, I don't think Marvin, Trina and Jason sing a lot together, just the three of them. But whenever they do, they disagree, and it's showed through lyrics but also through melody. Marvin does get "a group that harmonizes" but it doesn't happen until second act. Anyways, I love Falsettos, I hope this is not total bullshit
claudia from interview with the vampire and gabe from next to normal parallels
preface & disclaimer:
i am deep in my iwtv and n2n feels right now, and i just can't stop thinking about them. i have a lot of thoughts about louis/diana parallels as well and i will mention it here, but claudia and gabe. they are soo similar in my head. also english is not my first language so if i made any mistakes pls ignore 🙏
i am what might be, i am mystery
claudia talks about "what might be" and "why do i exist" a lot in the show, and she could be voicing louis' thoughts as well as expressing her own. diana made up a whole life for gabe, including even his classes in school. i imagine louis could do the same with claudia if she wasn't turned into a vampire. but even present in louis' life, she's a reminder of his failed relationship with lestat. just like gabe is a reminder of diana's grief and failed relationship with dan. "what if" follows them everywhere they go.
louis and diana both have a problem with recognizing what's real. for louis it's his memories and for diana it's her delusions (louis has them also but that's not important here). gabe is diana's undead dream, a distorted reflection in a mirror. just like claudia in louis' memories... unreachable. i always think of that scene when louis remembered claudia's making differently and cry a little.
i don't even want to mention louis walking into the sun after saying "can you hear her? she's calling me" so many years after claudia's death, and diana attempting after gabe's there's a world. but yeah. it happened.
i'm old as time and forever young, i am every song that will stay unsung
this is just so claudia to me. "old as time and forever young"? her being a fierce vampire trapped in a body of a little girl. and "every song that will stay unsung" is another "what if", another untold story, a human life they never got to live.
and when i think about gabe being a manifestation of grief and claudia being a character originally written to cope with grief this just makes so much sense for me to see similarities in them.
i'm alive is the most claudia song i've ever heard btw.
i am the one who held you, i am the one who cried, i am the one who watched while you died
i just can't help but think about claudia and lestat because of this song. lestat watching claudia dying in the sun at the stage. lestat allowing himself to grieve claudia after SO many years, just like dan allowed himself to grieve gabe in that song. i am literally going insane.
also claudia being more close to louis and gabe being more close to diana. claudia wanting lestat's attention and gabe wanting dan's attention. lestat calling claudia "infant death".
claudia and gabe trying to be seen so hard. both of them turning into a destructive force, because that's the only way to be alive for them. and though you made me, you can't change me. claudia being made into a vampire and a band-aid for a shitty marriage. gabe being made into a manifestation of grief diana and dan can't cope with. claudia and gabe holding their parents together and keeping them apart at the same time.
they say forget, but i'll remind you
i just had to put my thoughts somewhere. if anyone has something to add to it pls do!! thanks for reading :)
inspired by
trc fandom please is anybody out there
sooooo has anyone pointed out how on this album conan uses food imagery??? cause sure he can get literally „drunk on vodka cranberry” but it can be also metaphorical - getting drunk on that bitter, tart poison thats anywhere near sweet love, that you know will fuck you up. and caramel - what is caramel if not burnt sugar? its literally burnt sweetness thats still sweet but burnt. its sticking to the the memory and you cant quite get rid of it.

see i just think that something should have been done to prime the reader what's going on in this scene. we don't have adam's inner monologue to do the comparison of "at least gansey and ronan have family that cares about them while i have nothing"
and now we don't have gansey's paranoid inner monologue when adam doesn't show up to school, knowing what it normally means when he doesn't show up for school. we don't have gansey's inner monologue feeling guilty for forcing adam to sneak out last night
like before gansey says "let your dad pound the shit out of you" the reader has not been clued in at all about Robert Parrish. i know it's hard since all the abuse hints were dropped in prose before this in the normal novel but i think there could have been ways to visually explore that. have Adam wear his sleeves buttoned at the wrist when the other boys always have their sleeves rolled up. have Adam look like he was intentionally hiding from Declan and Ronan's fight like he didn't want to look at it. have a close-up panel of Robert Parrish's silhouette in the trailer as Gansey pulls up to pick him up that morning, plus Gansey's look of skepticism when Adam doesn't come out
again, if it's an age restriction/publishing thing it doesn't need to be GRAPHIC, it just needs to be there because I don't think in the book it came as this much of a surprise
ronan lynch I am so sorry I ever made fun of you you really were riding the fucking struggle bus you are god's strongest soldier i too would have blown something up if he didnt text me back i formally apologize for all slander king I did not recognize your game 🙏🙏
Jayce came to kill Viktor.
He fails. Instead, he decides to stay. To follow. To worship.
the holdovers is the best christmas movie i've ever seen. because what is more beautiful one can gift another human being than the miracle of being understood. recognized. seen.
jayce needs a purpose to live, to move forward. when its taken away from him he shatters. then viktor gives him his purpose. and then viktor becomes one.

“Herald.” The title was heard in the quiet presence of the orb emanating a soft light towards the messenger, an inviting albeit intimidating presence.
Viktor opened his eyes slowly, not recognising the voice immediately. “Another person was just lead here and needs your help.” He nodded, giving a sign to invite them in.
There stood you, holding up an old woman, providing as much support as you could in this situation. You weren’t in great condition either but your aunt was more important to you. You had tears running down your cheeks, begging, praying for him to not leave her on the threshold.
“I can’t pay you much but I’ll- I… I will work for you and worship the ground you walk on just- just make her better.” His feet touched the floor as he stopped levitating. Murmuring he professed. “Bring her something to sit on.”
You were whistling mindlessly stirring the pot with vigour. Suddenly your vision went black.You smelled the familiar scent of the lab gloves he wore so often and exclaimed. ‘Viktor!!’ You turned around and looked into his eyes with the warmth inversely proportional to his hands. His lips somehow always found yours.
Viktor put his hand to your aunt’s forehead and worked on her for quite a while. Meanwhile the person who lead you to him showed you to the home you’d be staying at while ‘The Herald’ healed her. “How long will this take?” You wiped your tears with your sleeve. He thought about it for a moment. “Not too long… feel free to say as long as you need to. Our hospitality knows no bounds.” You nodded, tears still occasionally welling up in your eyes.
“Viktor, you need to get back to bed.” You said sternly. “Yes, yes I will in a moment I just- I need to note this down and I’ll be right back.” You sighed, giving up. Another night of solitude was in front of you and you couldn’t even muster the courage to- he kissed your cheek, reassurance he said. A promise.
You heard your name being called. Joy overcame you when you saw your aunt walking spryly into the small hut. “Dearie, stop crying. I’m alright now.” She made you bend down to her level and gave you the warmest hug you’ve felt in years. Her face pulsating with opalescent webs.
You looked at Vikt- the Herald. Your eyes meeting his multicoloured ones. They were so inviting- so welcoming you just wanted to stare at them for hours at a time like you used to do.
“I don’t want to do this anymore.” His lips left your forehead, he was sure you were asleep. “What?” He said with a worried chuckle.
“Can you read minds?” You asked him when you two were finally alone. He mused for a moment. “I can do more than that.” You laughed bitterly. You turned around to get back to your temporary abode as he suddenly reached out his hand to you.
You began to tremble. Oh, how you missed him, the real him. The Viktor you fell in love all those years ago. “Stay- stay here, with-” me. “You?” You said with reproach. “I leave all those years ago and you still come back to me like a-” You stopped yourself as he cringed at your words.
Silence fell.
“You don’t whistle anymore.” He noted. “It doesn’t feel safe…”
“You were whistling that night, when Sky- I could hear you through the vents.” You were laying on his chest and listening to his heart speeding up with each word he was professing. “Do you think I’m to blame?” You asked after a moment. His heart sped up more.
You turned back and held his face in your palms. You got closer. “I’ve missed you.”
He didn’t raise his voice, he never did. He looked defeated. When you were walking out the door he held his hand out. You stopped just for a second and before you could get away he grabbed both your shoulders and planted a gentle kiss on your lips- a… goodbye.
You heard an explosion. “Shit.” You ran out of the hut, hearing behind you your aunt calling your name. You knew what happened. You could feel a part of your heart being torn out.
There stood Jayce. His hammer in his hand as Viktor lay there, lifeless. A scream of anguish left your body, escaping right with your soul. You ran up to Viktor cupping his cheeks. “N-no.” Jayce stood, unmoving.
“I… I just got you back.”
