Just something I noticed

I don't care that he's a villian, Jim Moriarty is iconic and I will say that until I die. Even Billie Eilish quotes him.

Moriarty: I will burn the heart of you

2 seasons later: John is trapped in a bonfire. Burning.

Hmm I wonder what this suggests

Holy shit I can't believe I just noticed this:

in the scene where Dan is sorta proposing to Diana (between perfect for u and I miss the mountains) Diana is wearing a grey hoodie. Later in the play (like a few minutes) Gabe is wearing a grey hoodie. It's probably the same hoodie. I don't know the significance of this but I would love to hear theories

Jonah's so me

Although I am a hard-core jonah and Amy shipper, I have absolutely no doubt that Marcus has a crush/is in love with Jonah.

Who agrees?

"what a lovely cure

It's a medical miracle

With a mind so pure

That she doesn't know anything"

I think Next To Normal's proshot is a good reminder that sometimes your mental illness isn't this big oppressive force trying to inhibit your life; sometimes it's just part of you. Sometimes it's trying to keep you safe even. Gabe, while a delusion, is trying to fill the hole that her son would in Diana's life, make her happy, comfort her when she can't handle things, be the closest confidant she has. That doesn't change the fact that his existence stops Diana from processing her grief or moving on, from connecting with her husband or her daughter.

Gabe's not evil, he's maladaptive. He's trying really hard to keep Diana safe and happy, he just harms her and her family in the process.

Gabe's also a really good representation of how grief is neutral. Because while Diana smothers him in a way that is clearly throttling him at the beginning of the play, Dan outright ignores him. And Gabe wants Dan to notice him. The whole play Gabe is begging Dan to acknowledge him, not as his child, but as a manifestation of grief itself. Natalie, he barely notices, because she has nothing to grieve. He only taunts her when the grief of the family overshadows them, and thusly, her.

And of course, grief and mental illness come in waves. As Diana packs Gabe's bags and sends him off, it's not Gabe who hesitates. He's a metaphor and a delusion. It's Diana.
