its a relatively minor detail but i really appreciate that in gq rose didn't fall out with the astronomer for no reason or vague reasons but because he stole her work. thinking abt how many women had their work stolen by men, particularly husbands? and its such an invasive and hurtful thing to do, to take the poems she wrote out of love for him and claim them as his own.

obviously "maul the astronomer and turn my sister into a crow and lock them both in a cage until the crow starts to starve and she has no choice but to peck out the eyes of her lover and eat them" is a pretty intense reaction to your sister getting with your ex (crush? boyfriend?) who stole your work. but i like how none of the characters in gq are straightforwardly innocent or heartless or straightforwardly anything. but sisters / daughters / brothers / husbands / mothers / fathers / ghosts

#ghost quartet#never take the stars away from me

fuckkkk i forgot about never take the stars away from me. fucking heartwrenching!!!!!!

obv ghost quartet is not a story super focused on giving detailed lore of its characters but yeah. the telescope as a whole song rlly shifts/deepens how you understand rose's poetry. similarly i would argue to how the whole musical starts from the camera shop scene where we get a simple retelling of the entire rose red / pearl white saga, only for the musical itself to slowly go so much more into detail about what happened.

its not even just that rose wrote the poems as a gift for the astronomer. she sees things in the stars. she's genuinely affected by the world and its beauty and its pain. "i love the way you see the world / i love the way your soul sings / i wish that i could sing like you / i wish that i could feels things / never take the stars away from me" and then he does. and then her sister loves him more than her.

and then danyazade dies. scheherazade is left with the shah with no stardust left and they are both miserable and full of regret. and the starchild is a ghost in the eyes of her god, staring up at the stars and wondering about the man a million lightyears away whose already turned to dust. and roxie is asking her mama to read her arabian nights, and lady usher sings about the little moons, little candles, little snowflakes, little glows, little bits of stardust. and her mother wasn't very nice.

maybe im just too lose in the gq sauce but actually drives me crazy how we know so little about these characters lives in any real detailed way yet there is a never ending amount of analysis i feel i can do on them that makes me want to cry and scream and wail. dave malloy let me kiss you with tongue under the moonlight.

forget haunting the narrative what about when the narrative haunts the characters and in turn the characters haunt themselves and one another in an inescapable cycle. what about when the true haunting is that of the past mistakes of the characters. what about that.

there are 3 types of musical theatre kids:

hamilton fans who then got into heathers, dear evan hansen, newsies, and be more chill

hamilton fans who then got into great comet, falsettos, hadestown, and ghost quartet

Insane actually that until I saw Hadestown live I'd never heard anyone talk about the candle. The candle that is hope?? The candle that's THE LAST THING YOU SEE as the stage goes dark at the end of the show. The candle that the Fates blow out, that Eurydice relights at the start of every performance? Kept safe by Hermes until the story is told again? That candle???

Well personally I'M never going to stop thinking about it

i know i don't have to argue this point on tumblr of all places but the insane backlash to casting dylan mulvaney in six is very frustrating because a) it's clearly coming from people who don't care about six because if they did they'd know that the show is about drawing parallels between the experiences of women now vs in the past by presenting historical figures as modern women and b) terfs' whole thing is defining women solely by their genitals and tying their value to their ability to carry children. you know, the thing that ultimately got anne boleyn killed.
