"heres the dirty little secret- i got no problem with christ, as hes presented in the gospels. none. i think hes beautiful, and i think every little crazy word of christ's is just jawdroppingly awesome. this is not a religious belief at all..i got no interest in finding a personal savior, and i am not a believer in anything so literal as christainaity, but storywise, storywise i think jesus's shit is fucking great...confusing and fierce and demanding and so real, so knee scraping visceral. and the things he says, his advocacy of asceticism and compassion, really fucking fierce let them beat you up compassion, his eyeplucking out solutions to the problems of desire, its all to me so clearly the answer, and so incredibly fucking difficult to do. i like my spiritual paths strict and crazy. aesthetically, just aesthetically you understand...i love my wine women and song too much to follow any road to enlightenment, for now i can just delight in the idea of it, the promise of it, and live another few lifetimes suffering in the sensual.

so yeah, if im gonna write a play about christ, its gonna be reverent. i revere him. not to say that i dont wanna have some fun with him...theres already a new tune in my head about jesus learning about his new human body: "ill betcha jesus cant dance, oh no oh no"...but belittle him, play the exhausting petty game of pointing out the contradictions? ugh. some skeptical knowledge of how these texts were actually written informs me here...believing that this is not the word of god but instead accounts written by imperfect observers and passed down over centuries lets me not worry so much about the odd line...and actually the strangeness, the incoherence is where i find so much of the compelling in christ, the baffling fig tree burnings and sword brandishing. fuck yeah, bring it, you imperfect man you!"

“my child is fine” your child has been listening to judas from clown bible on repeat for the past two and a half hours

#listen it’s just so SAD ok????#it’s the fundamental disconnect between two people who inherently cannot understand each other’s existence and them LOVING EACH OTHER ANYWAY #it’s ‘i need this’ ‘i don’t understand’ ‘but you love me and i love you so do quickly what you are going to do’#it’s ‘why are you laughing? are you laughing in wonder? are you laughing in disbelief?’ ‘i don’t know’#ITS ‘SURELY NOT I SURELY NOT I SURELY NOT I’#clown bible #dave malloy #malloysicals

MALLOY CHARACTER DEATH BATTLE BEGINS!

We are currently in the preliminary rounds! Characters with only one submission are going head-to-head to whittle down the contestants before the proper battle begins.

Rules:

All characters must be from a musical associated with Dave Malloy

Matchups are decided based on number of submissions & a random number generator

Play nice! No harassment/bullying/etc

Please read the propaganda when voting, it's no fun if people only vote characters they've heard of :(

Think of each fight as a one-on-one duel, any skills and weapons are fair game, but no calling for backup!

Ties will result in the formation of teams

You may send extra propaganda in asks while a poll is still running

Preliminary Bracket:

We are going to be posting each round of the preliminaries a day at a time (so, four polls a day), as soon as they're up we'll link them all here! If you asked to be tagged, we'll tag people as soon as all the preliminaries are up.

Round 1:

Mo Vs Starbuck

Wolf Vs Anatole

Harper Perkins Vs Hrothgar

Prince Bolkonsky Vs The Dragon

Round 2:

Jesus Vs Denisov

Moby Dick Vs Starchild

Soldier Vs Judas

Sonya Rostova Vs Pearl White

Round 3:

Blue Wizard Vs Toby

Balaga Vs Demon Voice

Jessica Vs Andrey

Marya D Vs Sarah

ok so apparantly there are a lot of malloysical enjoyers that dont know how to listen to his hows that arent on spotify ! so here are all the steps spelled out for ya :)

first things first, you want to do this ON A COMPUTER!!! this does not work on a phone unfortunately. (to clarify, you can still listen on your phone, but you need to do the downloading and uploading on a computer)

ok so now that youre on a computer, what youre gonna want to do is go to davemalloy.com and click on the thing that says lindsay listens

some of them will have each individual song available for download and some of them will have one big zip file for the whole show. for example, clown bible has each individual song for download, and boewulf has a zip file.

for the individual download ones, you want to download each song (it helps to do it in order) and then go to your files, make sure you can find them and they're all organized.

for the zip file ones, you want to download the zip file, then go into the file and download each song from inside the zip file

now, you want to go to your settings on spotify and turn on the slider that says "show local files"

next, go to your library and click on the folder titled "local files" you should see the songs you downloaded earlier here.

now, you are going to put the songs you want in a playlist. i like to just make a playlist of the show in order so i can listen to it like an album

now you want to download the playlist on your computer.

if you want to be able to listen on your phone, make sure your phone and computer are on the same wifi. now, find the playlist that you made on your phone and download it. like magic, the songs will appear and you will be able to listen to your malloysical on spotify!

enjoy your listening!

(also, dont stop me doesnt have all the song on his website, but if you want to listen to it i might be able to help you wink wink)

Malloysical Song Sumbission Bracket is open and ready for business!

Rules should be pretty self-explanatory, I'll be keeping this up for at least 2 weeks (Until June 5) but depending on my schedule it might be up another day or 2.

EDIT: didn’t know I needed to say this, but like, PLEASE only submit songs from malloysicals. Other stuff clogs up my data. If you’re not sure, send me an ask! Google who wrote the show! Anything!

If you’re submitting multiple songs please do multiple forms! Makes things less confusing on my end :)

@this-is-a-dystopian-parable @curious-georg @vernalloy yall made the mistake of replying to my post. Look upon the consequences of your actions.
