i lied. put your clothes back on. we're watching all of Dave Malloy's Ghost Quartet (2014) and then spending the next 8 hours analyzing its themes and characters

its a relatively minor detail but i really appreciate that in gq rose didn't fall out with the astronomer for no reason or vague reasons but because he stole her work. thinking abt how many women had their work stolen by men, particularly husbands? and its such an invasive and hurtful thing to do, to take the poems she wrote out of love for him and claim them as his own.

obviously "maul the astronomer and turn my sister into a crow and lock them both in a cage until the crow starts to starve and she has no choice but to peck out the eyes of her lover and eat them" is a pretty intense reaction to your sister getting with your ex (crush? boyfriend?) who stole your work. but i like how none of the characters in gq are straightforwardly innocent or heartless or straightforwardly anything. but sisters / daughters / brothers / husbands / mothers / fathers / ghosts

#ghost quartet#never take the stars away from me

fuckkkk i forgot about never take the stars away from me. fucking heartwrenching!!!!!!

obv ghost quartet is not a story super focused on giving detailed lore of its characters but yeah. the telescope as a whole song rlly shifts/deepens how you understand rose's poetry. similarly i would argue to how the whole musical starts from the camera shop scene where we get a simple retelling of the entire rose red / pearl white saga, only for the musical itself to slowly go so much more into detail about what happened.

its not even just that rose wrote the poems as a gift for the astronomer. she sees things in the stars. she's genuinely affected by the world and its beauty and its pain. "i love the way you see the world / i love the way your soul sings / i wish that i could sing like you / i wish that i could feels things / never take the stars away from me" and then he does. and then her sister loves him more than her.

and then danyazade dies. scheherazade is left with the shah with no stardust left and they are both miserable and full of regret. and the starchild is a ghost in the eyes of her god, staring up at the stars and wondering about the man a million lightyears away whose already turned to dust. and roxie is asking her mama to read her arabian nights, and lady usher sings about the little moons, little candles, little snowflakes, little glows, little bits of stardust. and her mother wasn't very nice.

maybe im just too lose in the gq sauce but actually drives me crazy how we know so little about these characters lives in any real detailed way yet there is a never ending amount of analysis i feel i can do on them that makes me want to cry and scream and wail. dave malloy let me kiss you with tongue under the moonlight.

#ghost quartet #the official description of gq is a song cycle about love death and whiskey #but its also about stars. which may be all of the above #once again #tumblr is the ghost quartet website and no one knows it

This phrase has already entered my vocabulary re: media criticism where like. The viewer has a concrete view of what they expect a story to be based on the tropes and cliches they're used to seeing together, and when that doesn't happen, they judge it as a failed depiction of what they assumed it was going to be instead of judging it as what it actually is.

"This show is problematic because the hero didn't kill the villain at the end": When does he steal the bread?

"These two characters who were close friends throughout the series don't kiss at the end! What the fuck?": When does he steal the bread?

"This feels like it's missing a conclusion! Like, the protagonist does bad stuff and because of a critical decision he makes as a result of his major character flaws, meets tragedy in the end! Where's the part where he learns better and brings is love back from the dead and becomes a good guy and gets a happy ending?": When does he steal the fucking bread??

I heard this out as "When criticizing something, you must judge it for what it is, not what it isn't"

#this is why so many of us urge people to get a wider diet of stories

#honestly don't even think the following is what this post is describing but it does remind me #was watching a video on why everyones mad abt poppy playtime #which was overall good but the creator made a very strange point #that the writing was poor bc you expect poppy the little girl haunted doll to be evil #and when she's nice to you you expect her to betray you #and then says that. when all the other monsters in the game are trying to stop you from helping her it tells the player #that she IS evil and maybe you are helping the wrong person #and like. this includes the monster who is openly gleefully wanting to torture and murder you #like man. i don't think that's an example of bad subversion of expectations #it seems like YOU think haunted dolls are creepy and did not stop for a second to think maybe THAT is the expectation being subverted #why in the world would you think poppy helping you escape the evil scary torture toy robot whatever who clearly wants you to suffer #means SHE'S evil. like come the fuck on #maybe i just love monsters being morally ambiguous and sympathetic but it was such a strange and shortsighted point to make #maybe this is when does he steal the bread actually #anyways i am not even a fan of the game but it was just such a stupid point imo

I asked my five year old cousin what he would do if there was a scary skeleton and he said "I would pour water on it and then kick it" and I've been losing my shit laughing crying about a wet skeleton for about fifteen minutes straight

crabussy

he was so delighted by my fits of giggles that he drew eight wet skeletons for me
