Niche shitpost for @alchemicallyxcadh the diva herself

In the final chorus of unlikely lovers, after the 4 "ignore" the reality of their situation, Charlotte sings the leading high harmony, where as cordelia sings the second line, the inverse of what we hear from the two women in earlier songs like "a day in falsettoland", where cordelia takes the higher line, which charlotte supports her, (in a way representing the financial aspect of their relationship.) I think this is to show how things are amiss, or not how they should be. As well as this, Whizzers voice isn't dominant in this section either, obviously because of his deteriorating health

There's a term, "undressing someone with your eyes" and it's do to with the fantasy of the unseen, and also is showing how lust is an act performed in the mind before being a physical act. I believe the specific removal of her glasses is to reference this, and that the entire idea is his fantasy, and that he wants to bed her, as opposed to litterally doing so. As this is all through marvins POV, his own bias always plays into the flashbacks.

Trina is in my opinion most affected by a jewish upbringing. We see that in the expectations placed on her by her mother and father "i was sure growing up i would live the life my mother assumed id live, very jewish, very middleclass, and very straight" and of course her father indirectly forcing her into her first marraige which ended in divorce. A major aspect of the show is highlighting the glaring flaws in everyday people; how we manipulate and lie, "we are manipulating people and we need to know our worst sides arent ignored" . We see one of trinas "flaws" to be what she frames as some level of sexual frustration/ dependency, as alot of im breaking down explores her (lack of an) intimite relationship and the strain this puts on her, as her mind consistently defaults for sexual refrences and innuendos, sometimes to the point of objectifying herself, (something that we also see alot consistently throughout the show) "whos lusty and requires a fling with a female thing" "me im just a freak who needs it maybe every other week". As im not personally jewish I am very uneducated on jewish practices and belief systems HOWEVER many religions tend to have a very negative standing on sexual intimacy for the express purpouse of pleasure. This appears to cause trina to objectify herself as well as conform to the societal roles assigned to her, despite not really seeming to enforce them on others "he decides the role to assume". We see the pressure to conform to religious practices when jason doesnt want a bar mitzfah "not with g-ns but k-ll your mother rather than humiliate her" despite not really seeming to visit a synagouge or encourage aspects of religion such as prayer onto jason. I think this shows how her eeligion is so deeply engrained these practices are no more than habit and how disconnected she truly is from that religion

In "what would i do" whizzer sings short phrases, and repeated lines of marvin in a higher pitch, this shows how this version of whizzer is just hpw marvin sees him; as obedient. The higher harmony symbolises how he also brought happiness and uplifted marvins life

Help I can't delete the poll you don't need to answer it but I can't figure out how to get rid of it

Body language is a big thing in the good omens show like obviously first, the way crowley splays out on chairs vs aziraphels very poised and polite way of sitting. Other than the obvious of crowley being more laid back because of the more freeing system he's under as a demon, I think it also shows a self stability, example being that a wider stance provides more stability, vs standing with your feet together, it also suggests offence, due to the "open" nature, as if egging someone to provoke them. Is stark contrast, aziraphel sits very structurally, with good posture, almost in right angles, with his feet together, which suggests someone more closed off, but his very proper posture reflects that he isn't timid just very structured, which is evident from heavens system that is strictly professional from what the series shows. His feet being together of course mean he only has one point of balance, which implies instability or dependency, which again is a trait nurtured by heaven. The idea that whenever your in doubt or when you feel alone "God is always there"
