Idk what’s the context of this pic 💀

Welp, I’m back from my agonizing trip

But omlll

I have a 4 hour Book of Saul / King Saul “musical” playlist that I put together with a bunch of songs as a soundtrack for a Saul musical or something, been listening to it for 10 hours straight…

I’m lowkey very proud of it tho 😭 the songs are so good it fits the narrative perfectly, I put them in order and everything. The voices too. It does sound like a soundtrack for a musical 😭

Anthony Warlow would make a good Saul…

And then Jeremy Jordan for a young Saul maybe?? Hmm, I actually headcanon Ishbosheth with him instead.

And I usually headcanon Jonathan with Caleb Hyles lmao

And also, there’s a lot of Ahinoam and Rizpah, they’re kind of the main characters in the Book of Saul. I really need to talk about them, especially Rizpah. I like Rizpah’s story so far, she’s really important to Saul. They’re both tormented souls in the story. I lowkey love her character too. Although, she has a bipolar disorder, trauma, and momma issues…

David’s Victory over Ishbosheth
