I Love You Sarah Jacobs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i just saw the outsiders musical (no understudies) so get so excited for all of my opinions.

it may take awhile for me to process and post all of them, but while i was watching i was sooo focused on body language when singing, especially in the emotionally heavy songs where there isn’t any dancing.

like both soda and johnny MOVE. their whole bodies shift when they breathe and sing, but soda it feels like the movement causes the singing where johnny’s singing moves him. it gives them both a carefree quality, which makes sense for soda and is so devastating for johnny.

and cherry, darry, dally, and pony are so still. they are all incredible dancers but when they sing it’s so focused in their faces (maaaybe the shoulders). it gives such gravity to everything they do, and makes all the movement that does happen feel so precise and intentional.

the contrast kills me. i can’t explain it, but it characterizes them so well, like of course soda is always moving, and johnny can’t help but be moved. of course darry and dally are so controlled. of course cherry is afraid to show her true emotions. of course pony is more analytical and thoughtful: he’s the one telling the story.

anyways. stay tuned for more.

A New World Is Gunning For You Chapter 13: New York Torch Song

If you see any inconsistencies or whatever in this, no you don’t! I didn’t rush the editing process, what are you talking about???

…

He groans aloud when he hears lockpicks in the door. Great, so he’s doing this again. Race hopes this one goes quick and they let him sleep afterwards.

He’s not expecting it to be Spot Conlon who opens the door when the lock clicks.

…

Or, the gang rallies to mount a rescue mission for Race! Read the chapter here!

I'm thinking of Paul beating up Ponyboy, cornering him in an alley, knowing it's him, and attacking anyway. Because in his eyes, this kid is the reason Darry is gone, hardened, shutting Paul out. Darry's responsibility for this ungrateful kid is the reason nothing will ever be the same again.

And Paul’s swinging on him and then this kid screams Darry’s name. For the shortest moment, Paul is comforted by the knowledge Darry is coming. Darry is coming back, with strong familiar arms to haul Paul off Ponyboy. And yeah, Darry will yell, and maybe even hit back, but at least he'll be here.

But then the gang gets there first and Paul has to scram, knowing Darry is going to hear about what he did and knowing he’s just ruined everything for good. No forgiveness anymore.

Might as well commit to it now. Might as well be the monster. Just to prove it never mattered to him anyway.

FIGHT CHAPTER IS OUT YEAHHHHHHH

the fight is admittedly a much shorter piece of the chapter than it was meant to be but the fact that I wrote another chapter of this fic is a feat in and of itself so i'm gonna be proud of myself for it :)

working on a javey fic and yeah i’m gonna make them fight. physically. i wanna see these fuckers fight dirty and yell and spit and then get up and forgive. i love making them angry and in love.

my roman empire is the way the seize the day fight scene is shot in livesies, like ZOOM OUT PLEASE I want to see the staging.

I love fight choreography. criminal to take that away from me.

everything sucks (i've read the whole redfinch tag on ao3)

sometimes ur a depressed queer from Chicago and Sufjan Stevens says you want to hear a sad song about being in the midwest that also probably jesus and u say yes sufjan stevens ur the only one who understands me
