DO YOU THINK MAYBE THE WHISTLE MOTIF IS ECHOLOCATION

[iamoboe]

He’s so cutesy he has never done anything wrong ever

[pillbuggery]

I need everyone to know that Pierre's David allegedly flirted with Lucy on the pier (shout out to Shoshana and Pierre for making me aware ??), so now we must consider the problematic age gap (on both of their parts) toxic summer fling that this implies

Michael's mom has got it going on

David takes Michael to The Eagle NYC, send post

Your friend’s unpublished fic idea is kind of a dead wife

[dazzling-galaxy]

i also want to read this guy’s dead wife

[sparklyslug]

Groundhog Day musical post got me thinking time loop thoughts, and who’s most devastating when they’re the one at the center of it:

- STAR: She’s been in the loop so long she is EXHAUSTED. She just wants to put it all down and give up, but she can’t. She judges every loop by how many people she manages to keep from hurting, but so far hasn’t managed to get out without SOMEONE dying. She is terrified that the cycle of violence beyond her control is what’s keeping her in.

- MICHAEL: If breaking this loop means he actually has to kill, and prove his worst fears right and that he’s just like his dad after all, he will never face that. He’s going to try and fight every way he can to find a way out, short of that. And he well spend several loops trying to fight all of the boys together, just to prove to himself that he can (results: inconclusive). But giving up isn’t his style.

- DAVID: every loop ends with his death. He can’t seem to figure out how to change things so he doesn’t die. And he will keep insisting to himself that THAT is the key, since he secretly suspects just letting Michael and Star go would set them all free. And he’d actually rather die every single day than face a future where he never sees them again.

I had this sitting in my drafts and they dropped the song before I ever posted it 😭

what’s his deal man… (literally the passionate delivery of this line ive experienced)

[vraik]

I like @jade-jupiter's idea of sharing around TLB fic, so here are a few I really like (please mind the tags on these, I lean toward reading darker stuff).

Also that post already mentioned @ohaubergine's You're a Mirror I Cannot Avoid but I'll second that it's excellent. We love a "Michael kills his dad" fic!!

When the Earth Opened Up by cerafina

[Musical] incredible David backstory fic with so many good character beats for the boys, and also kudos for making me emotionally invest in a story with biodad!Max, which is not my thing. Ripped my heart out multiple times

We Must Bleed by GermsBurn

[Movie] "Michael joins the boys" AU with some great 80s-situated specificities (satanic panic!). I love this take on trans!Marko and he gets a really fantastic convo with Sam about coming out.

Kill the Wendybird by Anonymous

[Movie] another trans!Marko fic, this'n focusing on his relationship with Star (complicated; they fuck about it); it gives me a real kick that he's basically Tinkerbell in this take on the Peter Pan allusions.

the deepest kind of bruise by @livelikethiseverlasting

[Musical] HEY I CARE ABOUT PETE NOW. HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME (Pete gets vamped before the Emersons arrive in town). Just really rich, lived-in text that packs itself dense.

Little Lines by @akilah12902

[Musical] not enough fic of Star and the boys out there and this does their dynamics so well!! Palm reading gives so many fun ways to play with irony and pain. Just snappy and excellent

Coming Clean by @sparklyslug

[Musical] this is it folks this is the "we're going to address the stupid water lore and do porn about it" for the ages. I bow.

After The Shock, The Fall by missroserose

[Movie] again, I really love historically situated fic--this one has Michael as the only survivor after the Loma Prieta earthquake, and David is fantastically nasty in a believable way.

(ever have the feeling that) you've constantly been dreaming this is life by MaryPSue

[Movie/Westworld fusion] links the concepts thematically so well, with some extra amazing stuff for Sam and the Frogs ("it's a simulation" is such a funny way to ground the Frogs being stab-happy)

You're on your knees, I'm on the case by Marittimo

[Musical] curing the tragic once-lack of "Dwayne likes when Boss roughs him up" fic and also folding in a bunch of Themes and shit

[more-comfortable-in-hell]

Omg that last one's mine, thank you so much!🥹
