“So, maybe I’m a prophet. Not me, alone, all of us, the ones who’re dying now. Maybe the virus is the prophecy? Be still. Maybe the world has driven God from Heaven. Because I do believe that, over and over, I’ve seen the end of things. And having seen, I’m going blind, as prophets do. Right? It makes a certain sense to me.”

Very simple. You pick stuff, I'll take that and give you a Shakespeare play that matches the vibes you give off from your answers.

Can you recongise real Shakespeare quotes?

Two quizes I made.

Oscar Award winner Ariana DeBose used to understudy the Leading Player in the 2013 Broadway revival of Pippin. Here we have an audio recording of her and Erik Altemus (understudy Pippin) singing On the Right Track (circa August 2014).

i can’t take any fics/posts that use lyrics from the Broadway version of Epic III seriously bc they’re trying to make me feel so devastated and insane over the lyrics but these are the lyrics:

and like,,, okay they’re decent lyrics but i’ve heard the off-Broadway live version where that verse sounds like THIS:

girlie im sorry but im gonna have a hard time feeling emotions over a finger painting that i know you picked over the mona lisa lmao

[Two images of the lyrics of Epic III, comparing the off-broadway version to the broadway

The broadway version has these lyrics, “But he fell in love with a beautiful lady

Who walked up above

In her mother’s green field

He fell in love with Persephone

Who was gathering flowers in the light of the sun

And I know how it was because

He was like me

A man in love with a woman”

The offbroadway has these lyrics, “And Hades is king of the scythe and the sword

He covers the world in the color of rust

He scrapes the sky and scars the earth

And he comes down heavy and hard on us

But even that hardest of hearts unhardened

Suddenly, when he saw her there

Persephone in her mother’s garden

Sun on her shoulders, wind in her hair

The smell of the flowers she held in her hand

And the pollen that fell from her fingertips

And suddenly Hades was only a man

With a taste of nectar upon his lips, singing:”]

I’m not over it and everyone needs to know about this.

At the end of the show, the lights are supposed to go out on everyone. But Saturday night, they left the light on just Amber for a few extra seconds. It was such a moving visual with the candle too. Amber started laughing before the light went out completely. Thankfully, Cherie B. Tay was able to catch these stunning photos of this beautiful moment.
