catholic guilt vs protestant belief in your own inherent superiority, fight

wait no I just remembered a few hundred years of history I take this post back

what i hadn't realised before watching the proshot (as someone who hasn't gotten to see it on stage... yet... i hope...) is that persephone used to love hadestown. in my mind i imagined "our lady of the underground" as a bitter song; persephone fighting to be persephone still, when the chorus tries to make her forget her own name with the various epiteths. but amber gray brings a joy to this song: she is their queen, damnit, this is her home too. it's the imbalance that eats at her, the "out of tune"-ness, the fact that she has less than 6 months up above. she loves hades, despite what he's become (evident when he comes to fetch her). what a performance!!

Am I missing extremely important context

Sounds like you should've fucked the hint guy

Being a lesbian named Fisher is so hard. I'm Fish. women want me. I'm scared all the time

BOOS YOU VERY LOUDLY OFF THE STAGE

every time I fumble w my phone’s charger cable I think about emailing steven moffat a pipe bomb

You ran with tears in your eyes, legs screaming in protest, lungs burning, but it was all for nothing. The monster was closing the distance. "RUN FASTER IT'LL CATCH US!" The eldritch abomination yelled as it picked you up and began sobbing, still sprinting.

I'm trying to take the high road but I'm like, dragging myself bleeding and sobbing along the high road while looking so so longingly at the low road

#AND that fucker taking the low road is going to get to Scotland afore me. very annoying.

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.

i know most leftists agree that everybody should have a right to food, water, shelter, and healthcare but i think a vitally important fifth pillar is privacy. people should not be compelled to be tracked, monitored, or to share personal space with others to access their other essential rights

"If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" is and always has been fascist rhetoric everyone.

as part of their ongoing boycott, Canada will no longer provide the US with totally real long-distance girlfriends who definitely exist

The more violence your mutual wants to inflict on the character the more they love them

I feel like a very important part of worldbuilding for any universe with a magic system is asking yourself ‘how would people use this to do crime?’

they're called "bootlickers" because when there's a boot stomping on their neck they lean forward to kiss it

as soon as i clicked post i realized damn that's such an evocatively erotic description, i should be using this sort of language about noble kinksters, not wasting it on class traitors

I know we’re all like lawless nonconformists but you really can’t be texting and driving. that’s one of the ones you’ve gotta listen to for real
