we Do Not talk enough about the 'i wish you were here right now' 'i wish i was too' at the end of the phonecall scene in ep 5. like???????? the sheer earnestness of it????????? it's maybe not an 'i love you' but it's a confession in its own right. it's shane saying 'i want you here with me so i can hold you and take care of you and carry some of the weight for you' and how WONDERFUL must that feel to ilya - who has just poured his entire heart out, who is feeling so scraped raw - to hear that even when shane doesn't know what he said?????? and he's So affected by it. so affected that he can't even make himself answer in english. like even at that, his voice still breaks when he replies in russian. and whether shane thinks he's just translating the phrase as asked or not i think he still understands what ilya is saying. and when you think about it, it's the first time they both admit to wanting each other at the same time. ilya refuses to respond to shane's confession of feelings in tampa and shane can't respond to ilya's confession on the phone but this bit. this is the thing they can both say. 'i wish you were here right now' 'i wish i was too' it's so romantic i might die

ilya in the show: uses less contractions than native english speakers, drops his articles, uses filler words sometimes when searching for proper phrasing
ilya in half of y'all's fics: Me Grog from Cave
i say im fine then i remember this part of the original hadestown nytw production
if you will pardon a future lighting design major, i think the incredible thing about the lighting of hadestown is, sure, the use of practical lights etc, but i think the way most of the lighting storytelling is done with brilliance instead of color is so unique and so hard to achieve. and especially making hades' moments of power the brightest in the show because it is more important that he is an industrialist and a god of wealth than a god of the dead or a god of shades. and it also more clearly builds his power when he sings, BUT the shape of it--the way the lights are often pointed towards the audience--forces their involvement in the narrative. the world of the living IS colorful and does have color, but hadestown uses a lot of the same palette and so it HAS to rely on brightness to distinguish emotional moments, and it DOES. and i think obviously this is exemplified in the transition during wait for me, because the way the workers wield this small power over the movement of light onstage with swinging lamps and headlights, hadestown itself becomes exposed and shines directly at the audience. and i mean, it's brutal. there's no other way to describe it, it's made to blind you. i don't know how well you would understand how hades' manipulation of technology and industry helps him if the tech that goes into making the show itself didn't turn against the audience at times.
london national theatre hadestown...........the people haven't forgotten you...you will always be famous to me
I put together a side-by-side lyrical comparison of 5 versions of Hadestown - the original album, NYTW, London and Broadway boots, and the OBCR.
This includes transcriptions of lyrics exclusive to NYTW live and the Broadway bootleg which I don’t believe exist anywhere else online.
I recommend downloading as Drive messed up the formatting a bit - lots of blank pages and introduced some misalignment.
This took a lot more effort than I originally thought so please enjoy and reconsider if you’ve ever thought about doing this for another show lmao

“Tell me a secret,” Ilya murmurs, hushed against the satin softness of Shane’s hair. It’s dark except for the moonlight streaming through the windows, casting a silver sheen across the bed.
“Hmm?” Shane replies, snuffling sweetly against Ilya’s shoulder. “Did you say something?”
“Never mind,” Ilya says, and presses a kiss to the top of his head. “You were sleeping.”
“Barely,” Shane says. “It’s okay.” He shifts onto his stomach and props himself up on his elbows. “Can’t sleep?”
Ilya regrets it a little, rousing him, when the A/C hits all the naked places where Shane’s just pulled them apart. “Not really,” he says. “Tell me a secret.”
“Like what?” Shane asks. “You know already.”
“I hardly know anything,” Ilya says, and it’s not true, but it feels true. He rests back against the pillow and lets his eyes fall half-closed. “Something from when you were little.”
“I used to be able to name all 151 original Pokémon,” Shane says, and Ilya cracks up. “What?”
“Maybe keep that one to yourself,” he teases, when he’s through laughing. “What else?”
“One time my mom bought a gross new toothpaste, and I faked brushing my teeth until the dentist ratted me out.”
Ilya fakes a snore. “Keep going, he says. “You will bore me to sleep.”
“Shut up,” Shane says good-naturedly. “Tell me your exciting secrets then.”
Ilya rubs his eyes and stretches his arms, one palm landing on Shane’s back, pulling him closer again. “There was the time I stole a car,” he says, sweeping his fingertips back and forth across Shane’s shoulder. He looks up, incredulous, and Ilya nods. “Another time I robbed a bank,” he continues. “Then I burned down neighborhood to hide the evidence.”
Shane chuckles. “At least what I told you was true.”
“Are you calling me a liar?” Ilya asks, grinning.
“That’s exactly what I’m calling you,” Shane challenges, and Ilya strikes, and shrieking laughter turns to sighing pleasure, and nobody’s any closer to sleep.
The moon has moved across the sky by the time Ilya’s paying attention again, and the way the light lands across their bodies, it looks like they’re glowing. In the haze of drowsiness, of happiness, it’s almost as if they are lit from within.
“I never hated you,” Shane mumbles, thick and muffled against Ilya’s collarbone. “Not for a second. That’s my secret.”
Ilya smiles. It’s not a secret, but he holds onto it anyway. “I won’t tell,” he whispers in reply.
I think a lot of people are forgetting that on tumblr fandom used to be practiced very differently. now everyone fucks off to their discords or tumblr groups to discuss everything with a select few, making tags be nearly only used for posting some finished fanworks or not at all
a decade ago people didn't have tumblr groups. people didn't even have dms. if you wanted to talk to anyone about anything you had to make a post, or send an ask (which more often than not would get published and thereby become a post in the end too)
so next time you think "I have a fandom thought but I have to find a small group of hyperspecifically like-minded people to share it with in private" remember all the freaks you could be missing out on meeting by keeping the tags dead. use tags, make friends. fuck discord.
You can't hide gold like this in the tags! That really is the perfect way to put it! ⬇️
call me terminally academia-brained but i do think a lot of the fun of character analysis is figuring out how to build a compelling argument for a particular reading using lines of evidence from canon as well as meta/intertextual support
and you could say that what i’m saying here is basically “a lot of the fun of doing character analysis is doing character analysis” but let’s be real a lot of fandom character analysis is pretty heavily vibes-based. and i think that’s where i really chafe up against the traditional thought-terminating fandom attitude of like, everyone’s opinions hold equal weight and any interrogation of that is inherently hostile. because i think it’s fascinating to dig into where others are coming from in terms of their views on characters or dynamics or whatever, especially when they differ significantly from more commonly expressed views, and part of that digging is asking people okay what parts of canon are you drawing from to support your opinion? what parts of canon are you disregarding or downplaying? how does this argument hold up in the light of how race, gender, class, ability, etc. operate both in the piece’s in-fiction and real world contexts?
