#preludes

nothing makes me feel hope as much as dave malloy musicals. the way he captures mental illness and the decay of one's sense of self are so poignant but the way these characters Rise from that and find hope in love and beauty and the future. the way he writes people as the stars and the world and dust that we scatter amongst the universe

All Dave Malloy knows is fairytale motif, mental illness, video game, crunchy chords, drink booze, sad lesbians, write canon and send me into a State

‘Do you ever try to write happy music?’

‘I don't try any thing

This is just what happens.’

ok but what if you ARE yourself? what if you have no choice but to sit and soak in the reality of your own mind? what if there is no one else to be?

🎁 The Forest's Gifts: An Octet Fan Project

‼️CALLING ALL OCTET MUSICAL FANS ‼️

Do you want to show your appreciation to the original cast of Octet? Do you want to do something special for the 7-year anniversary of the musical?

Well, join our project!

The Forest's Gifts 🎁 is a tiny fan project that hopes to showcase our love, support, and appreciation for the original cast members of Octet, specifically, the original Off-Broadway and West Coast casts. This not only hopes to celebrate the film release of Octet but to allow new fans to be more familiar with the original casts of Octet who made the musical what it is today.

There are many two main ways you can contribute to this project:

1. Creating Fanart 🎨

This project will give its participants around a month to create an artwork/artworks celebrating the original cast members. On May 19, the anniversary of Octet, we hope to post this all online via this blog and on our Instagram, for the original cast to see.

2. Creating a Message of Thanks 💌

Whether or not you'd like to make fanart for the cast, everyone is invited to make a message of thanks for the original cast. All messages will be collated on a carrd website to be sent to the original Octet cast.

The project's pretty simple! Create, then post.
