A Place For Things

reblog if the first musical you listened to was not Hamilton

CAROUSEL, if I’m not mistaken. Dang, that was a while ago.

all we remember from Carousel is "I ain't skeered!" but we remember loving it

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is the first I really remember, but my dad was a high school choir teacher, and I know I was present when he put on productions of Little Abner, Bye Bye Birdie, and South Pacific when I was wee.

Jesus Christ Superstar when I was like 6. Saw it on video and then live with Ted Neely and Carl Anderson (RIP, you'll always be Judas), front row seats because my folks knew someone at the theater. South Pacific was probably next, but maybe Les Mis.

Jekyll and Hyde. The original tour, not the Hasselhoff version. The first I ever saw on Broadway proper was Ragtime.

Might actually be the Broadway version of Beauty and the Beast, which I will count because I went bananas for the original songs.

Ryan Gosling’s career has just been one long quest to climb the Warner Bros water tower

I love this sm because there is basically just one pop cultural association with the WB water tower and I like to imagine that while he was up there he laid a reverent hand on its side and thought of Yakko, Wakko, and Dot.

I liked this because I understood what it said without knowing morse code, per se

it's just really apparent that people think it's okay to want pain but morally abhorrent to want to give it. sorry but the sadist gets to have fun too. it's actually pretty crucial to the process.

I mean, given that Tolkien retconned “The Hobbit” so Bilbo’s little invisibility ring became an ancient piece of jewelry that controls minds and drives the mighty mad, one can at least understand why it seems plausible that the other shiny white gem that destroys empires and makes the mighty go mad with greed could be linked from his kid’s book to his gigantic early mythology in retrospect??

@shewhodoesnotexist what says you? :P

Sting may or may not be Angrist, the knife that Beren used to get the Silmarill off of Morgoth’s crown

“Average Hobbit finds at least one world war inspiring artifact when on a journey” statistic inaccurate. The Spiders Took Family, who find a world war inspiring artifact every five feet they step outside the Shire, were outliers and should not have been counted.

Never getting over Charlie Kirk getting shot in the throat right after he uses it to downplay gun violence. Gotta be a top 3 assassination. Up there with Shinzo getting doohickey'd.

It's on some straight up Greek play shit. Man who uses his voice to justify violence and stir evil for years meets his end as that very violence tears out his throat. Poetic. Captured live from multiple angles. People stole his blood soaked merch to hock and his wife was giddy about sale numbers during his funeral.

Not just downplay. His literal last words were trying to make it sound like trans people are responsible for a significant amount of gun violence and boom, bullet through the throat. No exaggeration it's my favorite thing that's happened in a long, long time.

the music is almost as good as that visual

Turn the sound on! You will not be disappointed, people!

FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING GOOD, UNMUTE!!!!

n years later this is still one of my favorite videos

Do you think they would also sing to my unborn fetus?

I love finding out about baffling new gimmick accounts on this site via incomprehensible reblogs. 10/10 genuinely.

gravity is widely known to be a purple element

By the time I was done with this twink his bones would be clean enough to put in a museum

Sound ON. :->

Everyone keep sending your attacks. She can't protect him forever

If someone who looks like this and this obviously has a dagger starts dancing like this at me, just let me go. It's my time.
