“hi, Dad.” Throw Me In A Wood Chipper Next Time.

kaz and wylan are very much foils, and while much has been said about their similarities and how their stories parallel each other, it’s also worth noting that while kaz gives up his rietveld identity to survive in the barrel, wylan clings to what makes him wylan throughout his time in the barrel. when kaz loses everything, he throws away goodness and honesty; when wylan loses everything, he clings to goodness and honesty because it’s all he has left. they have fundamentally different backgrounds which obviously influence their choices and outlooks on life, but it’s interesting nonetheless!

the fact that the title of the musical is sung by natalie and she’s the one who turns on the light, because this was never about natalie but it was always about natalie

EXACTLY BECAUSE WHY

netflix cancelling shadow and bone and lockwood & co. the same year is my villain origin story

melt.

The PBS proshot of the West End production of Next to Normal has had me spiraling for the last few days.

Why tf this didn't win any Olivier awards or transfer to Broadway for a limited run is BEYOND ME. For a creative team that had taken SUCH CARE with the sensitive themes, it should've gotten way more recognition.

Thank god it's been recorded and preserved for people to watch but my god. All the little details of this production are so brilliant which makes it all the more devastating to watch these characters struggle.

No Broadway transfer? No cast recording? At least we have a proshot. These performers worked so hard and they deserve to have their work captured.

“It was prairie fire”💥✨

ugh wylan van eck's tale of self-discovery and growth, of fighting your parent inside your head, of being forced into a certain kind of life by things you can't control, of having religion used against you and finding the strength to mock it, of finding something to motivate you, of realizing that you're more than what you've been told, of finding someone to tell you to stop being ashamed, of finding that you aren't ashamed or afraid anymore, of being told that you're impossibly weak and realizing that really you aren't weak at all. man.
