Happy New Year!

[violetheart77]

AND I KNOW THIS IS GONNA SOUND CRAZY AND NOT VERY SCARY BUT IT IS SCARY IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE IMPLICATIONS—PROMISE ME YOU’LL THINK ABOUT THE IMPLICATIONS!—I THINK THE WORLD IS BECOMING A MUSICAL. DON’T SAY ANYTHING, LET IT SINK IN . . . OK, NOW, ARE YOU FRIGHTENED????

[lost-in-frog-land]

I recently learnt that the original purpose of having a curtain call at the end of a play is because in shakespearean times, everyone was very superstitious, and also pretty gullible, so it was basically the actors breaking the fourth wall and going "hey look we aren't dead, none of that was real, it's all okay!"

And then i started thinking about the ending of TGWDLM, and how, at the point that's supposed to be the curtain call, where the actors come out and show that they aren't dead, instead the characters come out, and show that they weren't destroyed but they are dead.

The fourth wall is still broken, that barrier between audience and actors is still breached, but only by Emma, and even then not really, because she's still in character, still acting like it's real.

Just, thinking about the implications of this it's so clear why that ending is so unsettling to us, as the audience. It's because we're used to getting the curtain call, and that fourth wall break at the end of a play to reassure us that none of it was actually real is still somewhat comforting. To not only not give it to us, but to subvert it in this horrifying way was an absolute genius move.

bro stop this is an honor

i love how rapidly everything escalates in hatchetfield lore. you go into it with "wouldn't it be silly if the world became a musical lol" and 8 hours of content later it's like. sure. there's an eldritch capitalism god (and he has a fuzzy tummy.) there are miner clones of paul on the moon. the homeless man is a tortured soul split across every possible timeline. both emma and jane end up as machines sometimes but in different ways. turns out sam actually DID see god

Almost 6 years later and: "You're a caveman. And I've invented fire." is still one of the rawest quotes to ever quote.

I think the problem with being obsessed with starkid is it's like at least 14 different obsessions wearing a trench coat so it's really difficult to chill

Ted, setting up a game of Scrabble: I will put my “A” down to make “A.”

Pete: I will add to your “A” to make “AT.”

Ted: I will add onto your “AT” to make “RAT.”

Pete: I will add onto your “RAT” to make “BIOSTRATIGRAPHIC”

Ted: *internally screaming*

Owen Carvour be like:

[yesterdaysnewts]

welcome to a random assortment of SAF hcs i have

- Owen has hearing problems, like dude probably grew up in london during the blitz, he works with guns and bombs, and everyone smoked back then, thats gonna leave you with bad hearing

- Curt's ambidextrous purely because as a kid he was left handed and his school tried to teach him out of it

- Curt has no siblings but does have several younger cousins

- Owen's the youngest of three, his two sisters are 14 and 9 years older than him, he also has 6 nieces and nephews that range from being 3 to 16 years younger than him

- Curt was born April 1926 and Owen was born December 1928

- Owen's biggest scar from before slipping the banana that fucking idiot was from his brother-in-law dropping a sheet of corrugated on him when they were building the Anderson shelter in the garden

- Curt was a boy scout when he was younger and once broke his arm by falling out of a tree

- Curt and Owen first kissed on Nov. 5th 1952 in Owen's family's living room, the moment did get ruined by Owen's mum coming in and saying that Owen's eldest niece has taken her fingers off with a firework and since he's the only one who knows first aid he has to sort it out

- Owen played rugby as a kid he played hooker and almost played it professionally but a friend made him join MI6 with her

- That friend was called Thalia and they were partners for a good while until she died on the job

- If they weren't on missions during them, Owen would spend thanksgiving despite not celebrating it with Curt and his mum and then Curt would spend Christmas with Owen and his family
