i'm always thinking about paul matthews
#cool art#sent to me#the spotlight coming down from the meteor's face-mouth thing#/pokey mask? i don't know that much about the lib#really makes me think of the repeated imagery of puking in the final bits of the show#and maybe earlier but memorably in the last two musical numbers#emma let me puke in your mouth etc#and like#the musical numbers also serve as a kind of involuntary explusion from the mouth area#metaphorical domains of sickness; infection#here so elegantly rendered as a spotlight tying into the theatre of it all#passing on the theatrical infection to paul#who is *covering* his mouth#and in the number gags in a desperate attempt to *reject* the infection#to try to expel it#*avoid* passing it on#and the panic in his eyes here is so well done#eyes already starting to glow blue#starting to turn a little#agh#favourite musical number in maybe all of starkid maybe all of musical theatre#and this art just brings up all of those thoughts and feelings again#absolutely incredible#thank you op!!#also also the blue dots starry sky that the meteor came from starlight theatre or spores definitely evocative of all three#amazing understated background in any case
