So I Received An Email From My New Friend Mr Walton

no but the thing is. they KISSED. on screen. it was a real scene, not deleted, not removed from a script, it HAPPENED in front of the world's eyes. and AND the actors are normal about it and the whole cast and crew is normal about it and it's not vague and it's IMPORTANT. no matter the rest of it and what came after it, it happened!!

Sure it would be nice if Orpheus didn't turn around, but that isn't actually the triumphant ending of Hadestown. The Orpheus who doesn't turn around has not changed, is still the trusting and naive boy he was at the top of the show, unable to imagine anyone would wrong him on purpose. What we want, what the narrative demands for this to be satisfying, is for Eurydice not to turn around. The jaded, scrappy, all I've ever known is how to hold my own Eurydice, who knows exactly how cruel the world is, and chooses to trust her lover anyways. That would be the hero's journey, that would be the positive character arc, and that would be the happy ending.

But Hadestown is a tragedy. So that doesn't happen. Orpheus is asked to walk out of hell. At the top of the show it never would have occurred to him that Eurydice wasn't right behind him, but that view of the world has not survived the trip to the underworld. His goodness and his gift of seeing beauty are eroded by the abject horror of the world he lives in. It's a tragedy because Eurydice, who has no reason to trust anyone, who should be selfish, who probably wouldn't have been with him at the beginning of the show, runs after him with open arms. And he still turns around.

The apothecary diaries: is a pretty light hearted show about an apothecary who loves poisons

Also the apothecary diaries: will drop the most fucked up thing in the middle of an episode casually.

See the thing is. When they announced Good Omens season 2 I was like. We absolutely do not need a second season of Good Omens. But now we have a second season of Good Omens and I’m like. If we don’t get a third season I am going to start chewing drywall.

@booksociety ’s Breaking the Curse Event: The Wicked Deep by Shea Ernshaw

“It starts as a low croon that rolls in with the tide, a sound so faint it might just be the wind blowing through the clapboard shutters, through the portholes of docked fishing boats, and into narrow cracks along sagging doorways. But after the first night, the harmony of voices become undeniable. An enchanting hymn sailing over the water’s surface, cool and soft and alluring. The Swan sisters have awakened.”

Be careful for what you wish for

shipping characters from classic literature just hits different, you know? nick and gatsby. perfect. mina and jonathan. chef’s kiss. hamlet and horatio. angsty. achilles and patroclus. hella angsty. frankenstein and clerval. don’t even get me started.

Disney needs to realize that no villain redemption storyline will ever be as good as starkid's Twisted
