For S &G’s

I just feel like we're not talking enough about the pro-labor, pro-union, themes in Hadestown. My boy Orpheus is literally wearing a red bandana. He said you simply have to stand up, together, even when it's terrifying and you have never done it before. There are more of us than them. Even if it seems impossible we have hope, because we are standing in solidarity. You can only make demands of gods if you have your union behind you. And then you realise they aren't gods, and you can bargain.

Very pb coded obvi

AU where Darry wasn’t actually popular in high school and Paul was never really his friend and Darry being voted boy of the year was a Carrie situation. Ponyboy just never knew because Darry didn’t want him to.

never gonna stop thinking about how Ali Bourzgui wrote that speech and probably never expected to actually present it, only to find himself on that stage holding a Tony and, as the youngest nominee of the season, gave the most impactful acceptance of the night as probably the biggest upset (though not unappreciated) winner. I always said he was my favorite Orpheus because he didn't just play to the character, but to the whole situation (and I think best presented the commentary imbedded in the show) and no matter how much of a fever dream the lost boys is I'm so happy he got that win and said what he said.

one day grace hurts his right hand somehow and he's all upset bc he's like gosh dang it now i have to do everything left-handed. and rocky's like ?????still have other hand?? and grace explains the idea of dominant hands and rocky is like. you only have two hands. the FUCK do you mean only one of them can do anything

thinking about “no, i get that, but actually, i love him.” mind you this is like less than 24 hours after he’s even said it aloud to ilya. less than 24 hours before he puts to words what he’s felt since ilya kissed him goodbye on the stairwell. i get that, given the last decade of the two of us connecting over our shared distaste for the man standing next to me. i get that, given how reporters and magazines and podcasts all pick apart at our relationship like vultures, insisting there’s venom between us. i get that, since i’ve gone quiet whenever you’ve mentioned him in the last nine years. you must’ve taken my silence for hatred. and i get that, i do, but no. in those moments, i was wondering what it would be like for you to meet him, to shake his hand, look into his eyes and see the man i’ve held so close to my heart for years. and now i’m being honest, finally. i love him. i think maybe i always have.

hate that I was understanding when I should’ve just been a cunt

I love the double meaning of Pony saying “the reason I’m living is you” in Death’s At My Door, because yeah, he is living for Johnny, but also Johnny literally saved his life in the prior act. Death tried to come for him and Johnny fended it off. Only when he didn’t have Pony by his side did Johnny die. anyway
