i actually think it means a lot to emma that paul accepts her version of the situation with her and jane, considering the kind of person she is. emma says “when one sister is so on top of her shit, it kind of demands that the other be a total fuck up” and paul’s response is “what’s ying without yang?” which i think is actually an important moment for emma in terms of how she sees paul. because i think if paul’s reaction to that sentiment had been “nooo, i’m sure you’re not a fuck up” etc, i think she wouldn’t appreciate it as much. she’s not one for meaningless placating, especially in a potential partner. i feel like she actually very much appreciates paul accepting her view of a situation he was not involved in and just listening to her story. she’d much rather have someone hear her out and accept her as she is, even if it’s “a total fuck up”, than try to make her feel better about something they don’t really know or understand.

We are so excited to welcome James Tolbert to the Poe Party Musical team as our choreographer! You know James from his work with Team Starkid, from various performances with esteemed theatre companies in Southern California, or as our very own Rip Van Winkle in Headless: A Sleepy Hollow Story. We can’t wait to be stepping in time to James’s sweet sweet moves! 🕺

Something nobody prepares you for is that the better you get at writing the harder it becomes. beginners write freely because they don't know enough to know what's wrong. then you learn. and suddenly you can see every single flaw in real time as you're making it and you have to write anyway while your own brain is in the corner going "that's a weak verb. that transition is lazy. you've used that word three times." getting good at this is mostly just getting better at ignoring yourself.

thinking about the audience capacity of the theater TGWDLM was originally preformed at compared to how massive the apollo theater in london is is so crazy. some clips i see of the curtain call you can barely hear emma screaming because of how LOUD that audience is. but dude i am thinking. the bigger the audience is at a show of TGWDLM the more terrifying its ending really gets.

of course you as the audience can't help emma even as she begs for you to, it's just a show, and it was fucking phenomenal so you are cheering. BUT so are the actors, who in the context of the story are the infected. and in the context of the story YOU are there too, cheering along with them. YOU are infected.

i think this is why inevitable and the ending as a whole make me sick to my stomach in a way my words will never adequately describe. we watch as the apotheosis strips paul and the others of their individuality, turning the world into one big musical number, and we are comfortable viewing it all from an audience perspective. but when emma cries to YOU, something shifts. the wall is broken. everything about the show is perfectly set up so that by the end you will be whooping and applauding at a character that so desperately needs your help.

it's set up so that you can initially feel you are in line with the heroes of the story, only for it to put you in the same position as the villain. because maybe in reality that isn't as uncommon of a circumstance as you might think. how often do we dismiss ourselves all the while viewing tragedy from a comfortable audience seat, treating it as a spectacle? i think this is the question the show wants you to walk away with.

from emma's perspective in the original TGWDLM production its a moderately sized crowd of us against her (still terrifying), but in the west end theater it's this gigantic surging ocean of people all laughing at her desperation.

anyway all this to say what an insane way to incorporate the audience into the message of your story. riveting shit. live theater is so beautiful

“curt!paul this!” or “curt!paul that” what about mkwiles! alice? what about mkwiles!zoey? what about that?

I like to theorise that while Ted was getting ready to crash the Paulkins wedding (in Forever & Always), Pete is reading IHNMAIMS and Ted leans over his shoulder to read some and says that it’s funny the main character is named after him and is getting tortured.

anyway cut to like 5 hours later when Ted gets tortured.

What do you mean “chat” is now referring to ChatGPT and not twitch chat? What? What? What the fuck? No?

When I address chat I am speaking to a presumed Greek chorus of real human people shitposting on their lunch break, not a machine that devours lakes to covert electricity into slop.

writers really will spend twenty minutes pacing around the kitchen thinking “this scene is genius” and then sit down to type and suddenly remember approximately three words and one emotional vibe

i think about mamd and its potential way more often than warranted for a musical about anthropomorphic human organs

i also yearn way too much for a remount of it which is absurd

i know it's not gonna happen!! a good majority of starkid fans either haven't seen it or just dislike it so a remount is super unlikely... however... has team starkid considered that i am desperate for jaime lyn beatty and joey richter to sing even though again? have they considered that i need to hear flight of the pussies with better audio quality?? have they considered that i am insane over this musical and that i will put myself in debt over it???

i'm also thinking way too much about the implications of everything like i need an explanation in the imaginary remount so bad. i have!! so many questions!! genitalia mirror dimension?? why's everyone's hearts so fucking mean to their host?? what's with joey's heart and dick???

(like i desperately need some backstory there with whatever was going on between them) ("looks like the boys are back" what) (what happened between them before) (is this curt mega "the whole gang's back together...for the first time" or??)

(yk what give me backstory for everyone's hearts actually!!)

(i know it's because of actors but is there a single person in this musical who doesn't lead with their dick or pussy)

so yeah. i need to see this show done with better video/audio quality, better costuming, better everything!! (joey and sally outfit coordination was great tho...........)

i love you semicolon. no one look at my 80 word sentence
