TLT is only dark academia if you're talking about Ortus, who in HTN is trying to work on his book while stuck in a haunted castle, and flirtatiously hanging out with a very intense posh academic and her husband, with whom he ultimately summons the ghost of the man he's been writing poetry about.

if wicked songwriter wrote a baru cormorant musical it'd be like "i'll show them who they can't debase. no, i'll hide my mask behind my face! the empire will seeeee -- that i'm their prodigy!". if hadestown songwriter wrote a baru cormorant musical i'd be like 'the noose that binds the traitor man / it makes sure he won't lie again! / but the NOOSE that binds the CORMORANT / it STRANGLES him with what he wants / and that, my brother, that's much worse". if falsettos songwriter wrote a baru cormorant musical it'd be like "My father's a homo."

Tamsyn Muir truly is something else for creating a world of widespread poverty, instability, and hunger where different cells of a galactic terrorist organization fight each other for power in a setting reminescent of a failed state as a bloody civil looms and a Melancholia-like supernatural entity hangs in the sky and enemy demi-gods threaten to invade and persecute the population AGAIN, and then telling the story through the eyes of a character who perceives barely any of this, cares about none of it, and whose only ambition in life is cuddling with her parental figures, avoiding breakfast, and keeping her place in a gang of schoolkids who fell straight out of a Stephen King novel.

I personally love how she does her POVs: Gideon - couldn't really give a fuck, sees a giant skeletonand her first thought is "i wanna fight that"; Harrow- going through the horrors; Nona - is a kid who wants to cuddle the dog ok?

they were never going to kiss on screen, i can accept that. but the little face guillermo was making when they talked about things they didn’t want the cameras to see is indeed driving me insane
