okay don’t get me wrong i love alice by heart, it’s definitely in my top 3 musicals (if not my very favourite) but i think how alice gets out of wonderland in “i’ve shrunk enough” is a little… lazy? like idk i think they could have done better and made her getting out of wonderland a little more meaningful than just letting her say “uhm nope i’m done”. and as my hyperfixation is very much at its peak right now i couldn’t stop thinking about it and i have some ideas on how to make it more impactful (in my opinion)!

okay so the entire trial is the same just up until the end of “do you think we think you’re alice?” where the queen of hearts orders the guards to chop alice’s head off. the freezing doesn’t happen (it’s so super cool but it just doesn’t really work for the plot), here, they try to get alice but she runs, starting “i’ve shrunk enough”. the song is still the same but now during it the choreography points to alice trying to flee her fate while the wonderland characters just kind of gang up on her. the cheshire cat and eventually alfred still help her, but at the end all the wonderland characters are circled around alice, alfred and the cheshire cat. when alice would sing “and time is up!” now she only gets to the “and”, being interrupted by alfred saying “time is up.” he was shielding alice from the wonderland characters but drops his hands and says “i can’t protect you anymore, alice.” after which he breaks to the floor in a coughing fit. so alice is like “no, alfred, i can’t do this without you, they’ll chop my head off!” and the cheshire cat, who was standing with her back facing alice, turns to face her and (reluctantly, like she’s kind of being forced by an invisible hand) joins the other wonderland characters saying “as long as you force us to be here, we can’t leave.” and alice just has the realisation and says out loud “alfred is dying.” and alfred physically reacts to this, shrivelling up, cringing and coughing and crying on the ground. and alice says “wonderland will never save me. wonderland can never protect me from the reality that alfred is dying.” and with this acceptance, all the wonderland characters just slowly fade away into the wings, leaving just alfred and alice. then the musical continues like it does, with “still - reprise”, then all the rest.

lamb and wolf </3 we still think about you lamb and wolf :( one day we will meet you lamb and wolf :’(

in my heart of hearts i believe wylan is both left and right handed specifically because when he was being (rather aggressively) taught to write, Van Eck and his tutors were like 'fucking hell i don't know try with your other hand maybe that will work' and basically just throwing spaghetti at the wall hoping something would stick (it didn't).

anyway it came in handy when he was too injured (van eck again) to draw or write out equations because he realised he could just swap hands whenever he needed to. I dont know, this is just fun to me.

Jesper in these

[cryptidstealingyourcreditcard]

i wanna see the crows with visibly different bodies and body types.

i wanna see kaz be medium/slightly below average height (around 5’6-5’7). i wanna see him with a yellow, almost green hue to his skin. i wanna see him with pox scars along with battle scars. i wanna see him with uneven hair because he can’t let anyone else close enough to cut it for him. i wanna see him be lean but muscular. i wanna see him with his R tattoo.

i wanna see inej be tiny (4’11 AT MOST). i wanna see her with actually brown skin, not just slightly darker white. i wanna see her with the broad shoulders and thick thighs and all the musculature of a trained gymnast. i wanna see her with hair slicked back with tons of gel and hairspray like a dancer. i wanna see her with a flat chest and little to no curves (as was described in the books). i wanna see her with calluses on her hands and feet.

i wanna see nina be tall (around 5’11). i wanna see her with fat rolls. i wanna see her with wide hips and a chest that gives her back pain. i wanna see her with flabby underarms and stretch marks on her legs and torso. i wanna see her with central heterochromatic eyes. i wanna see her with the body language of someone who was trained to be a soldier since childhood. i wanna see her with wavy but not curly hair. i wanna see her with beauty marks scattered all over her body.

i wanna see matthias be reasonably tall (6’0-6’3). i wanna see him with big muscles, especially on his upper half. i wanna see him with light skin and even lighter hair. i wanna see him with battle scars and wolf bite scars. i wanna see him with burn scars from the fire that destroyed his village. i wanna see him with a triangular shoulder-to-waist ratio. i wanna see him with the faintest of faint freckles across the bridge of his nose.

i wanna see jesper be unreasonably tall (6’5-6’8). i wanna see him be lanky and long-limbed. i wanna see him with the muscles of a farmer. i wanna see him with calluses on both his hands. i wanna see him with battle scars and the scars one gets from horses and cows and farm-related incidents. i wanna see him with cherry blossom and jurda bloom tattoos. i wanna see him with a wide nose and plump lips. i wanna see him have little to no curve from his shoulders to his waist to his hips. i wanna see him with stretch marks from growing so tall so fast. i wanna see him with big hands and feet. i wanna see him with his mother’s dark skin and his father’s freckles.

i wanna see wylan be short (5’5-5’6). i wanna see him be scrawny and gaunt in the way a person gets when they’ve been malnourished (he canonically had to cut new holes in his belt when he got to the barrel). i wanna see him with hair that shifts between auburn, strawberry blond, and gold depending on the lighting. i wanna see him with actually curly hair and not just waves. i wanna see him with chemical burn scars and scars from his father’s abuse. i wanna see him with thin musician’s fingers. i wanna see him absolutely covered in freckles. i wanna see him with big doe eyes and the blue-eyed stare.

headcanon that whenever kuwei is annoying in the bunker one of the crows spray him with a water bottle like he’s a misbehaving cat

i'm obsessed with unrequited kazper actually

give me a jesper fahey who just met a guy who saved him from being jumped and immediately becoming obsessed with him in a way that is almost unhealthy. he's always around the slat, trying to catch a glimpse of kaz. he's the first one to jump to a job, dangerous jobs, jobs that won't even benefit him, not really. but he might get kaz's approval, maybe even spend time with him. give me a jesper fahey who keep accepting dangerou situations, not just because he likes danger, but because he's forcing himself to, because this time, kaz is going to congratulate him, he can feel it. because maybe when he gets shot at, injured, bleeding out, maybe this time, kaz will do a little more than jut call for a medic and leave. becaue jesper injuring himelf for a job is commitment that kaz recognises, or because kaz wants to care for him, to look after him

give me a jesper fahey who reads into everything, good and bad. he wonders if kaz might've smiled at him, or was it just a grimace? had he complimented jesper' shot, or just the job well done? had he fucked up when he stupidly missed a shot because he wasn't focusing? was kaz going to hate him now, never peak to him again? was kaz giving him dirty looks? or is that a look that says 'it's okay, i'll give you another chance. give me a jesper fahey who replays every. little. thing. after every single job, who loses sleep over every interaction he has with kaz

give me a jesper fahey who's desperate to prove to kaz that he can be his person. he tries everything to find kaz's love language. he brings kaz gifts, he praises kaz, he tries to hang out with kaz in their spare time. he briefly figures he has it when he starts running little errands for kaz, bringing him coffee and doing his laundry, thinking his love language is acts of service, until he overhears a dreg mutter to another 'he's pleased now he's got fahey wrapped aorund his finger, doing whatever the hell he wants and doesn't wanna do himself'

give me a jesper fahey who cries himelf to sleep as he runs over every conversation they've ever had, desperate to prove to himself that kaz does like him, even if it's just as a friend. he notes every time kaz has played along with a joke, grinned at something he's said, comparing it to the times that he's done the same with the other dregs. give me a jesper fahey who wonders if he's being taken advantage of. give me jesper fahey who, with a broken heart, is ready to accept that a the best he'll ever get from kaz, and convinces himself that he's perfectly fine with being used, because it's better than nothing

give me a jeper fahey who's just desperate, so fucking desperate, for kaz's attention, approval, anything. he's desperate for kaz to ask him aobut himself to take an interest in him to want to spend time with him, and he'll do anything to prove to kaz that he's worth it. give me a jesper fahey who wants to be there for kaz because he love him so much that it fucking hurts and he knows he can do it, he can help kaz and he' there for him, even just as a friend. he'll do anything and everything and it's so unhealthy, but he puts all of his time and effort into kaz

give me a jesper fahey who is slowly ruining himself but he doesn't care because one day, maybe kaz will like him. maybe one day, kaz will care for him in the same way that jesper cares for kaz. because maybe one day, kaz will see all of the adoration and devotion jesper has for him pouring out of every orifice, and maybe, he'll return it

[whydatewhenyoucanhyperfixate]

kaz hates the heat because he can’t take his million layers of clothes off. jesper hates the heat because it makes it too excruciating to let go of all his restless energy. the solution? daily ice cream dates with all the windows shut, of course.

oh my gosh. the paper hat the mad hatter wears in alice by heart is made of actual war newspapers.

it’s a bit hard to read, but if you look closely you can clearly make out “bombs dropped”, and i can see the words “police” and “hunt for parachutists” too.

“RAID LONDON IN TOWNS”. if this isn’t about the blitz i don’t know what is.

the most right corner literally says “HITLER IS STILL THINKING”. there’s something about axis too, which is germany, italy and japan who initiated ww2 and fought against the allied powers.

i am unwell. he is wearing a hat made out of newspapers describing the war his alter ego fought in and, mind you, lost his sanity in.

[whydatewhenyoucanhyperfixate]

it’s been farrrrr too long since i’ve done a random soc headcanons post so here’s a lot of them:

matthias is actually more of a cat person but just never knew because of the fjerda wolf obsession, and then when he got to ketterdam and saw all the stray cats he just kind of fell in love

jesper makes his barrel flash even flashier by diy sewing funky patterns onto his clothing

whenever the crows group hug they leave a big hole for kaz to just stand in between

while having to wait in the bunker kuwei wrote smut about him and jesper and burned it after

inej pretty much never talks about her period but nina will not stop complaining about hers and whenever she does inej does nod along vigorously, reminding the other crows that she, too, gets periods

wylan is very easily calmed by watching fish swim around

matthias loves winter but dislikes summer, nina loves summer but dislikes winter. they help each other romanticise all the seasons.

wylan thinks kaz stealing his fathers dekappel is the funniest thing ever and comments on it every single time he sees it, like “wow what a nice painting, where’d you get that?” etc

alys exclusively wears bows in her hair. or on her clothes. or both. she loves bows
