Turns out it's been a while since I've talked about Rachel's medical fetish art so it came as a shock to people when I mentioned it in the last post (I've got quite a few asks about it lmao) So I'm gonna enlighten y'all real quick on what I'm referring to, and yes, it's probably exactly what you're thinking of when you hear the word 'medical fetish'.
CONTENT WARNING: DISCUSSION OF MEDICAL FETISH ART AND DEPICTIONS OF NEEDLES!!!!
So the name "used_bandaid" is one Rachel started using back in the early to mid 2000's. She went by a LOT of different pennames back then, including but probably not limited to:
Pepper_maid
madame_issue
Usedbandaid/used_bandaid
Rach Alex
Rachel Royale
Raquel
Medical Tophat/Medical_Tophat
Frill_house
Gingerbreadcoffin (? this one's kinda weird because the link itself with this username just goes back to her used bandaid MySpace account , so idk if she ever actually used it or if it was even affiliated with her lol)
Now you're probably about to ask, "Puff, how do you know these are all her?" and that's because Rachel still had all of these accounts interlinked through her projects, primarily The Doctor Pepper Show. She seemed to change up usernames often just for the hell of it.
Anyways. I'm not gonna show much of it here because I do think it's better to leave certain things in the past, but there's a LOT of her old work that implies the stuff that's questionable/problematic in LO has always been a part of her identity as an artist (DDLG, hot pink self-insert MC, etc.)
One such example is "madame issue":
Tumblr media
This is such a 3-in-1 smoking gun for everything we see in LO. The reference to bandaids (see: used bandaid, which was part of her URL slug for her old flickr where this drawing comes from), the hot pink color palette, and of course, the fact that this character is almost DEFINITELY a self-insert of Rachel, thanks to that shared name.
She's also stated in old commission/print posts that Madame Issue was the one print she wouldn't sell.
Tumblr media
She doesn't explicitly say why but I think it's pretty safe to assume it's because Madame Issue is her.
We also have Eva, "the queen of medical fetish". And the tags are... pretty self-explanatory.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That said, that's as much as I'm gonna go into with her old art, because a lot of it does get quite personal with her and I don't really think it accomplishes much more to continue digging up old skeletons, at least not unless they can be seen as parallel to LO (which some of them are and I'll likely be sharing more of those ones in a later post).
That said, there ARE still pages that are accessible without the use of the Wayback Machine that advertise her as a medical fetish artist without the need for extensive digging. If you search up The Doctor Pepper Show on Google, you'll actually find a reddit thread asking what happened to Rachel's old work, and there are comments with loads of resources to access her pre-LO content. You'll also find the listing for The Doctor Pepper Show on The Webcomic List, which literally describes it as a medical fetish comic: "This is a comic set in a world where evil doctors rule, girls wear frilly underpants and people use their manners. *May I please blow your f**king head off?* This comic features Gothic dandys, EGL (Gothic lolitas) and medical fetish fashion. (Neo victorian setting)"
I'll let y'all do your own digging from here, there's a LOT to unpack honestly and while I can't keep you from doing your own research, practice due diligence with what you choose to share. Again, I don't think it's a crime in and of itself for Rachel to want to distance herself from her past as a medical fetish artist, so I think it's only really relevant to show the things that are clearly still influencing LO (like her love for the movie Lolita or the very clear sexualization of youthfulness). While we can try to leave the past where it is, she does still write LO with a lot of the most problematic features of her former identity, and it makes it all the more bizarre that if she is trying to distance herself from it all, then why would she stick with one of the pennames that's the most easily tied back to medical fetishism?
TL ; DR: Rachel started off online with medical fetish and gothic lolita art (at least as far back as we can trace it) and elements of that past are still present in LO today. Use that info responsibly lol

(wow manu making an actual question not yaoi related) about p4au, in the scene where narukami and adachi team up to attack kagutsuchi together, i'm confused about one thing.
the english version says that their "powers have merged", implying some sort of literal persona fusion, and meant that it was something we haven't seen since p3, but mostly because the wording was vague at best.
however, in the japanese version, it's said that they like... just attacked at the same time? or something like that? am i wrong? (i'm bad at wording stuff lol...)
You're really claiming to not be asking a question about yaoi when you're asking about the completely non-heterosexual part of P4U2. Hmm. Curious.
Out of curiosity, have you ever seen Evangelion? There's an episode where Shinji and Asuka have to become in-sync with one another in order to fight an Angel that splits in two, then finish it off with a double rider kick (a visual reference to Kamen Rider). While the setup isn't the same, the way Eva-01 and Eva-02 move in-sync is kiiinda how I imagine this to play out lmao.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When I first read P4U2, I wasn't really sure about this either! But I've since rewatched it, and my take is that Adachi and Narukami became mentally in-sync with one another, and that 融合 isn't so much "a literal physical fusion of 2 things" but more like describing a "harmonizing" (non-physical fusion?) of sorts between 2 vastly different things. Mind fusion??? lol
My thoughts on this are influenced by how on the line before, it refers to the two Izanagis are "opposing" yet calling to one another. That reflects their owners as well. The guys themselves have found common ground: They need to beat up their pissed off mythological fire baby.
So they're on the same wavelengths, they're on the same page as one another, they're... sharing the same 1 single brain cell together. Like, literally sharing a single brain cell, and using this one cell they control Izanagi and Magatsu-Izanagi together then finish off Kagutsuchi with a "sword-like" finisher move that is probably also the Kamen Rider double kick. 🤡

This is an interesting shot. There seem to be two Nancies and two Robins. It makes me think about different timelines, and the description of the UD as a dark reflection of our world. Richard and Martin Brenner, Henry and Edward Creel, vengeful demon and ancient demon, Will singing If I go there will be trouble. And if I'll stay it will be double...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And the first article they read: Elvis cloned by aliens
Tumblr media
This reminds me of the line in the Horoscope in 4x01: In the year following your birthday by sending your copy of Star-Signs letter (and the address, Lakeview, could be another hint at the car crash in 1976. I just love that theory, ok? lol)
Tumblr media
But all the titles intrigue me.
Sailor cheats death in ordeal at sea. That's Brenner's father!
Christ's image appears on Wall at bank. Will? Lmao
Man Finds Gold Mine and Strikes It Rich. I'm thinking about the caves in Nevada where Henry disappeared when he was seven. And Rich could be a reference to Richard Brenner. It could mean that he is the Brenner we see in The First Shadow. More aggressive, more obsessed. In 1x03, Hopper tells Powell that Martin Brenner runs the lab, but the name mentioned in the article is Richard. Then Hopper says that maybe Will was in the wrong place at the wrong time (like young Henry, who was near the lab where Brenner was conducting his experiments?)
Powell is not convinced tho and says: It's a rich. And Hopper replies: It's a start. Maybe that's the truth. Richard is the start. The beginning.
And after this dialogue, they go to the quarry where they find Will's fake body. So, a sort of clone.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Eva Gabor's psychic powers save a dog
In S1 Lucas compares El to a stray dog. And Gabor was an Hungarian-american actress, she voiced Duchess in The Aristocats and Miss Bianca in The Rescuers. I found more references to Hungary, all connected to El. The movie My Fair Lady, in the scene where El gets arrested (I talk about it here) At some point in the story, the main character Eliza dances with a Hungarian man, who declares that she's a Hungarian princess. But there's another Hungarian.
Inside Jayne and Mickey's Palace. This is a reference to Mickey Hargitay, a Hungarian-American actor, and the palace mentioned is his and his wife's Pink Palace. Also, Mickey, hm...
Tumblr media
I love these details!

How do the ros act when jealous?
hey and sorry for the really delayed answer!
I'm not big on jealousy plots (because if it's not written right, it can easily dive into unhealthy/toxic territory) but they do all have a little level of jealousy haha and you'll prob see it later in the story
ill stick to early relationship/pre-relationship and towards the person making them jealous, not MC (mostly because I don't want to write characters who get angry at MC based on their own jealousy/perception. It's not MC's fault they're jealous yk yk)
Alex: they would get snarky. Naturally, they're a smart-ass, but if it's toward a person that's taking MC's attention, they'd definitely start amping up the sarcasm levels to a point where that person would be like "can't tell if they're insulting me or not." Alex is normally pretty blunt, but they also don't like showing their vulnerable feelings, so it's an interesting mix. They wouldn't want to admit they're jealous, because that would be admitting that MC has some effect over them.
Perry: can't help but be kind, but he won't be happy about it. But instead of sarcasm like Alex, he'd be sort of passive-aggressive. Start doting on MC a lot more, that's for sure.
Kade/Kiera: pick a fight with the person as much as they can lol not much different than their usual personality, but that person would def start to feel targeted.
Finn/Fera: they would get kind of down, it's rare they're not the bubbly life of the party, so everyone would notice that they're sort of irritated. When F is upset...it's an Event due to how little it happens lol they'll be like a kid; trying to get MC's attention, try to impress MC, trying to keep MC to themself.
Nora/Noah: they'd be a shadow of darkness in the corner of the room, just pumping out negative energy and mentally wishing for lighting to strike the person where they stand LOL
any person who walks by them: "why did I just get a cold chill all of a sudden?"
(im trying to think of an anime that did this....the closest I can get is OHSHC Tamaki's habit of planting mushrooms whenever he's upset ?!@#$
(yes I do reference anime a lot im so sorry)
Tumblr media
Eva/Everett: is honestly very mature, and has had multiple mature relationships. So they don't get jealous often, but the rare times they do, they'd honestly just be close to MC and start being very much like Alex in the sense that they'd use their smart mouth to make the other person uncomfortable lol. Then they'd be extra to MC and be real suave to remind MC who they are lolol
Dani: would just be extra rude to the other person lol, and they'd turn rarely affection and nice to MC. Everything that person says will irritate them, and they'd prob provoke the person on purpose lmao
thanks for the ask lol <3

I do not have the energy to do serious threads (go figure im lame) so I’m gonna just info dump about the vistani culture w Beth instead because I love them.
• Vistani, a summarized version: To avoid cultural disrespect, we simply refer to them as traveling nomads or Romani (which is cutting it close already so that’s very loosely used), but you can obviously tell by the similarities to real ethnicities what they are based off of. The actual people they were based off of were the g.ypsies, but again, that’s frowned upon.
• They are commonly known to be fortune tellers, psychics blessed with divinity from birth (Mama Andreá), silversmiths, coppersmiths, haberdashers, cooks, weavers, musicians, entertainers, storytellers, toolmakers, and horse traders. Whatever coin they earn is usually shared amongst the settlement and friends within their circle. No one is left on an empty stomach or too cold on a winter’s night. This is why Beth still has her empathy and heroism intact — because she grew up with the knowledge on equality and family over anything else. These traits led to her permanent hedge knighthood.
• Vistani dress in bright cloths, bells, laces, jewelry, etc. While Beth prefers to always wear her knight armor due to her over-alertness, on the rare occasions she relaxes, she’ll wear duller colors of traditional garb. Bright colors don’t camouflage well and Beth never leaves her war-ridden mind, so relaxation and fashion always take second priority. Despite this, she will never forget her roots — so she can let loose when Barovia isn’t kicking her ass into the mud for the millionth time lmao
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
• Disagreement never results with violence. Usually, it’s through contests that end with reconciliatory singing, dancing, and storytelling. The Vistani are extremely laid back and chill. Beth hates needless violence, but kinda had no choice but to give in to her brutality as a Nosferatu that’s constantly hungry and takes on insane power when triggered. She’s verbally sharp and her intimidation (+5 which is hilarious because that’s even higher than some Strahd’s) crossed with charisma (+2) makes up for any physical assault, so she can stop quarrels before they begin because people are scared of her and not stupid enough to bark up that tree GFHFHGBB
• Quick to act when their lives or traditions are threatened, merciless when they believe they must be. On god. If you fuck w one Vistani, consider yourself damned at that point. These people travel in PACKS LIKE WOLVES. They can and will eternally curse your ass worse than a hag’s bite. They’re docile until fucked with, and then they hit so damn hard back — in numbers. Vistani can quickly become as lethal as armies. Think the court of miracles from the hunchback. Beth’s rage stems from how Noctus destroyed so many settlements and her own vardo, attacking mercilessly with the unbridled vengeance from every slain Vistani.
“ 𝐍𝐎𝐂𝐓𝐔𝐒! 𝐈 𝐀𝐌 𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐄 𝐃𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐃𝐎𝐕, 𝐃𝐀𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐎𝐅 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐋 𝐒𝐄𝐄𝐊𝐄𝐑 𝐌𝐀𝐌𝐀 𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐑𝐄Á! 𝐈 𝐀𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐔𝐍𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐃𝐋𝐄𝐃 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐈 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐍 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐌𝐄! 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐈 𝐀𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑 𝐅𝐔𝐂𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐔𝐑𝐘 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐄! 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐊 𝐌𝐘 𝐎𝐀𝐓𝐇, 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑, 𝐈 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐅𝐔𝐂𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐌𝐘 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄’𝐒 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄! 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐄! “ [ In ref to her second fight against Noctus after her forcibly made her attack her party as a Nosferatu beast. ]
• Her theme is Bloody Tears from C.astlevania too just for that extra spice lol
• The Vistani don't worship any gods, but instead believe in something they call ‘Threads of Fate.’ They believe that all actions have reactions and that fate's wound its strings around everyone. They are firm believers in the spirits, divine, and superstitious.
• Some Vistani women are blessed with prescience. Of all the great Vistani fortune-tellers, none compares to Madam Eva. Her party is close to meeting Eva’s settlement and I’m excited lol but Mama Andreá was a born psychic and passed that knowledge down to Beth at a young age, who had a glimmer of her prescience due to genetics. Beth does have a tarot deck given to her from Cassandra she has yet to use to tell minor events occurring in the future, but her power is not nearly as precise as Eva/Andreá or Cass’ tarokka. She tends to stick to daily fortunes or simple spreads.
• A prescient Vistani can't see her own future or the future of another Vistani. It is the burden of the Vistani's great gift that their own fates can't be divined. rip to Cass and Beth reading each other’s futures but I don’t think they’d want that anyway considering how much they hate their own lives in the first place BGHFHVCVB
• Beth’s human side comes out when she’s doing Vistani related things. Cooking meats and soups, dancing and story telling around a fire, using her castanets, jingling bells, dressed in her traditional clothes, etc. This shows greatly as her mother verse with Annalize, because she ensures Anna lives the full Vistani experience that both mothers couldn’t experience themselves as it was ripped straight from them due to vampirism and war.
Beth retires from her wandering knighthood immediately to become a house wife at that point. She’s always cooking hearty meals for Anna and Cass, decorating the castle in beautiful fabrics and decor, dressing her daughter in the most lavished garb and jewelry, and teaches her all about the divine to pass down her knowledge from Mama Andreá. Beth eventually owns her own vardo and names it in respect of her own vardo (The Copper Carriage) , now The Crimson Carriage. She adopts a settlement of Vistani who survived the fogs and, just as any other settlement does, opens the doors to any weary traveler. Cass takes her myrmidon status back and the two no longer dress in armor, but the traditional garbs, not wanting to treat their daughter to violence and really bring up their past of relentless bloodshed (Anna would figure it out sooner or later anyway because Beth and Cass are basically figures of high importance with stories that were passed around Barovia of who they once were lmao) . but this all simply an ✨ AU happy ending for both of them ✨ that I created and who fucking knows what’ll ACTUALLY occur in game I just want these two to have a dAMN MOMENT OF CLARITY THEY DESERVE GOOD THINGS FOR ONCE

Hey bestie boooooooooooooooo, you already know I’m up in here 🗣️ ‼️
Tumblr media
How do you think the reception of specifically my debut and first project (the EP I’m working on) will be like?
Love ya - 💋🫶🏽
princess eva🥰 tyyy for participating and being patient, love you bunches! hope this resonates sister
Tumblr media
four of wands. three of cups. nine of swords. the magician. magic.
for starters, i noticed that this version of “rules” i chose has a different cover art opposed to the one i’m used to (hot pink album)—this makes me think that your ep is going to be an original, or that its uniqueness makes it a standalone. it feels like the unique aspect revolves around the sound; maybe it doesn’t match the cover art or it’s more of something than expected to be? hard to decipher tbh and i feel like that’s part of the illusion on your end as well; i feel seductive and mystical but it's not at all sexual, it's mysterious. funnily enough this feels planned (obviously lmao); i sense hopeful energy, like wanting this reaction to happen or dreaming of a similar reaction. with the magician card and magic card (purple; creativity + spirituality) being present, this can indicate using divinity to receive this response as well (manifestation, praying, visualization). two cards representing metaphysical forces give me the impression of your spiritual team working overtime; watchful eyes are protecting this project and they're keeping it "safe" by making sure it's created with passion. you'll find yourself not feeling motivated or bothered to mess with your music although you really want to; maybe scrapping tracks that had potential but lacked the "it" factor—this is their influence behind the scenes. instead of using your perfectionism against you (trying to break it or cause disruption), your guides support the "bad" habit because it inevitably creates something good (understatement fs).
in terms of the public debut; it's going to be on a social media platform or streaming service (if not both)—channeling "snapchat" right now and it seems to be a reference to promoting your name wherever you can. this is a new new beginning, one that's more special than the last so you're doing what you have to without shame. apart from this determination you’ll be dealing with your own internal response; very self deprecating tbh, it seems you're not the happiest in this moment. despite the outcome being “good” and worth celebrating, you’re digesting the fact that good isn’t perfect. “validation” and a small frown on your face came in; you were expecting things to go a certain way, or the way you imagined it. the desired outcome isn’t reality (at least not in the beginning) and you’re resisting the acceptance of it. def work on getting out of your head beautiful, everyone has to start somewhere and it’s going to be worth the journey.
audience and ep wise, i’m hearing “good news” and seeing sirens go off lol. their perception of your persona will def lead into following the track of your music (day ones, supporters since the beginning). majority of the people that listen to your ep (music in general) will be piscean themselves; guided by neptune and either constantly in the dream state or wanting to escape it. your music offers sanctuary, especially since i’m seeing someone put in headphones and fall into their bed with a sigh. “melatonin.” it’s a drug, listening to your harmonies and instrumentals during late nights or in parked cars. this is the literal definition of a vibe, being one with the source and sitting in the moment. it’s immersive. the first artist that came to mind was jhenè aiko; her entire catalog is the embodiment of immersion, ten seconds in and you’re already floating lol; this is what you’ll master as an artist. very cool and it’ll be recognized as such. all in all you’ll have a beautiful rollout, especially considering that this will be a spiritual accomplishment and the first chapter of a new era. good luck!✨

ACOSF USA BOOK TOUR NOTES
Hey y’all! I just attended the LiveTalks Los Angeles event with Sarah J Maas and Eva Chen!! I took lots of notes so I wanted to share them with you all! They’re a little incoherent on the page, so it might seem a crazy, they jumped topics a lot. Feel free to chat with me about what she talked about! But first.
MY RULES:
NO SHIP OR CHARACTER SLANDERING. I know that we all may have different opinions. I will not offer my opinions here, this is purely informational for those of you who did not have the opportunity to attend this event.
PLEASE NO ARGUING IN MY COMMENTS OR ASK BOX WITH ME OR ANYONE ELSE WHO COMMENTS
Acknowledge that I am not perfect and may not have written down everything perfectly. I did my best while still trying to enjoy the event.
I AM NOT SARAH J MAAS AND CANNOT INTERPRET WHAT SHE MEANS
I’m tagging this with #acosf spoilers and #acosfspoilers just in case.
If you understand and can abide by these rules, keep reading below the cut, and enjoy!
Tumblr media
SJM said it was weird doing this event from her living room where you might be able to hear her dog in the background or her son trying to get into the room.
ACOSF started as a passion project while she was writing ACOWAR! It was never anything she thought she was going to publish. (more on this later)
About reading and writing growing up
in middle school, she read a lot of fantasy
in high school, she didn’t read as much, but wrote A LOT. it became her fixation, almost an obsession.
in college, she only really wrote on vacations (she had a very healthy social life hehehe) but her junior year is when she found her balance between schoolwork, writing, and socializing.
there was no plan B for her!! it was always to be an author. if it didn’t happen right away, she was going to find a job that would get her by until plan A could come to be.
her favorite author growing up was Garth Nix. She longed for books about badass women. She got to meet him and write a blurb to be on one of his books! She cries when she meets her favorite authors.
Talk about character names!
her character names come from everywhere and nowhere
sometimes she’ll just hear a name in her head and think “that’s it!” (Rhys, for example)
she needs to know the name to write the character
if the name doesn’t immediately come to her, she spends a lot of her time on baby name websites and makes lists until it clicks
sometimes the names just... connect. sometimes she doesn’t mean for them to.
it will always be uncommon. never “Frank” lol
Writing about Nesta!
on a “surface level” she loves writing when Nesta comes out to fight. for example, her favorite scene in this aspect to write was the bog scene. As soon as she got to it, it flowed out of her. The final product was almost identical to the first draft. She wrote it in one session, from the terror & tread to the “who am i?” to when she emerged--she went YES. MAJOR Mic Drop moment for her.
going deeper: definitely her overall journey was one of the favorites she’s ever written. From the dark place she’s in at the beginning to the very end. 
Writing about Nesta meant so much to her because of her own mental health. She channeled a lot of her own feelings and went on the journey with Nesta.
it was a lot of “how do you face mental health in a fantasy world without therapy and medication”
it was easy to get into Nesta’s mind but emotionally intense.
ACOSF’S BIG MESSAGE: LEARNING TO LOVE YOURSELF AND OTHERS. YOU ARE WORTH OF LOVE.
YES there is a book planned for Elain!
As soon as Nesta and Elain came onto the page again in ACOMAF, she knew they’d get their own journey.
Nesta grabbed her by the throat in book 1
She was originally contracted for only the first three books but realized there was more she wanted to explore. Essentially the “what comes next” after ACOWAR in this new world with out the wall.
FUN FACT: while editing ACOMAF/writing ACOWAR, she drunkenly told her editor at the time, “hey guess what happens next?”, and it turned into a two hour conversation about everything she wants to happen for Nesta, Elain, Mor, Azriel, etc. TWO WEEKS LATER, she gets a call saying they want to buy the stories!! Obviously, she said yes.
This allowed her to start planting the Easter eggs for these stories in ACOWAR. She knew she did not want Nesta to be sympathetic at the beginning of the book! But she did not want people to hate her.
She always has one eye on the horizon for future books.
If she could visit one court for a day, which and why?
She LOVES the season Autumn, it’s her favorite. “BUT EVERYONE IN THE AUTUMN COURT IS AN ASSHOLE”. She would want to visit the Autumn Court when no one is there so she can enjoy the beauty of Autumn.
But also she would want to go to the Summer Court because she has a thing for Tarquin but only if it’s not gross and humid.
She would ALSO want to go to the Day Court for Helion and all his libraries.
ESSENTIALLY she would want to go everywhere but Spring because Tamlin sucks and is an asshole lmao.
BEAST FORMS
SJM’s beast form would be something totally not cool or majestic like a sea otter.
Nesta’s beast form would be something terrifying and beautiful like a snow leopard/dragon hybrid, a griffin, or a sphinx. **WANTS SOMEONE TO DRAW THIS**
FUN QUESTIONS
Nesta’s favorite smutty book would be JR Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series. She reads these books for the distraction, of course, but also for the comfort they gave her that everything turns out okay for the characters.
Nesta’s Starbucks order: cappuccino- something simple, nothing with too much sugar or whipped cream. Elain’s would be a Frappe- something delicious and sweet. SJM’s is a flat white, iced or not, but never after 2PM.
SJM usually listens to classical music and movie scores while she writes, but she’s gotten used to write in silence so that she can listen for her son’s shenanigans with Josh.
“Stay Together for the Kids” by Blink 182 semi-inspired the scene when Nesta and Cassian go back to her family’s cottage. She can hardly explain why.
WRITING ADVICE
Write what you love, not what you think you should be writing.
Give yourself permission to suck. Her first drafts are shit and are usually accompanied with an email that says “I know I need to fix this, this and that” lol.
WRITE THE DAMN THING. Vomit on the page!
YOU CAN’T FIX A BLANK PAGE.
Her least favorite part about the publishing process is the first pass of copy edits, those last minute checks and balances. But once it’s off to the printer, it’s not her problem anymore.
She’s every publisher’s worst nightmare because she sends it off to the printer at the LAST possible minute.
For reference: Throne of Glass was finished almost... a year and a half? ...before it hit shelves, but ACOSF was finished this past fall.
MAIN CHARACTER TALK
All of her heroines have a piece of her.
SJM’s personality is a hybrid of Bryce and Nesta.
Feyre and Nesta got most of her in terms of learning to be empowered.
She has to have a connection to them in order to write them. It’s an out of body, method acting experience.
MISCELLANEOUS
She said “CC2 is a year from now.”
She started writing ACOTAR in 2008 before she published TOG.
She loves the story and dynamic of Elizabeth and Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. Cassian is Elizabeth. Nesta is Darcy.
And that’s all I have, folks! Thank you for reading, I hope you got something out of this!

Tumblr media
Ages ago, I asked people to send me scenes they wanted me to compared across the Skams, and then I kinda ignored it. This wasn't intentional, but rather because I wanted to do the scenes in chronological order. And the one I got for s1 was the Eva/Jonas breakup scene.
The issue is that Jonas is a very misunderstood character in international fandom. I felt like I couldn't begin to compare the scenes without getting into the fundamental conflict between Eva and Jonas, and I couldn't do that without getting into why Jonas hates Russetide, and I couldn't do that without a long post that was going to swallow up whole the other 7 versions of the scene.
I've never really let go of the idea of doing those comparisons, even though the anons that sent the original asks are probably long gone. I thought of a bunch of different ways to approach the asks, but nothing worked for me. Until recently, where I just decided to first explain Russetide, then compare the different Skam opening speeches, and THEN I will finally compare the breakup scenes.
But instead of explaining Russetide itself, which I think most Skam fans more or less understand, I'm going to explain SJEIKEN 2015. This song perfectly encapsulates what Jonas hates about Russetide. In fact, he quotes it in one of the scenes where he's being a dick to Eva!
Tumblr media
Russetide is a tradition in all of Norway, but western Oslo (where Skam is set) is one of the richest areas in the country and, as such, they really go above and beyond with it. A bus is better than a van, the buses have to be decked out with the best sound systems. The crew has to have not just hoodies but also headbands and other merch, and it all has to follow the theme the crew has chosen. And if you really are the hottest of hot shit, then you actually commission legit artists to write a theme song for your bus. We can see this in s2, where the girls discuss The Penetrators theme song.
There are a bunch of different Norwegian artists that you can commission for your Russe song, but the most famous are probably TIX and the Pøssy Project. The Pøssy Project is a group of multiple songwriters, but all of its members have chosen to keep their identites anonymous because, as it turns out, ~Norwegian adults~ think everything I'm about to explain is trashy and disdainful. The one artist in The Pøssy Project that has always owned his participation in it is Andreas Haukeland, better known as TIX. (You might also know him as this year's ESC entry for Norway.) Why does TIX stand by these songs? Idk, probably because they're extremely popular, chart well, and make money, and by standing by them, he gets to perform them in gigs and profit off those creations.
SJEIKEN 2015 has featured twice in Skam, first in s1e1. It's also the song Pepsi Max is singing when they party at Sana's place in s4. And SJEIKEN 2015 featured so prominently in Skam because the song became a runaway hit the year before (the 2014-15 school year), breaking into the Norwegian charts as well as Spotify most playeds in Norway. It is a tremendously popular song that people loved.
Tumblr media
So, who or what is SJEIKEN 2015 about? SJEIKEN is a 2015 Russe crew (meaning they graduated high school in 2015) who chose to make their Russe theme about... oil sheikhs. That is what sjeiken means. The song itself is about an oil sheikh called Sheikh Yer Bouti who declares tonight to be free of rules. His 400 wives are allowed to get drunk and be whores, just for tonight. Here are the lyrics:
Tumblr media
Now, TIX has recently tried to become a mature artist, and so he was recently asked about SJEIKEN 2015 (again, a song he performs to this day). This was his response:
At a party, I met a girl who was crying over a boy she liked. She had built up her expectations that this would be the night she finally hooked up with him, but she was afraid that if she did, the guys would call her "whore". I thought about it a bit… It's actually quite true - if a boy hooks 10 girls at a party he is a legend, but if a girl hooks up with only one boy she may risk being called loose. That's absolutely ridiculous! So I said to her, "Tonight you are allowed to be a whore. Tonight you are allowed to hook up with him.”
And like, I just want to say this response is horseshit, first of all lol. But in case you for some reason thought this was supposed to be like a feminist anthem for a girls' russe buss (a crew like Los Losers for instance), let me share a picture of the SJEIKEN Russe crew:
Tumblr media
(Count the moc... Oh wait, there aren't any.)
SJEIKEN (the Russe crew) also participated at a Russe event back in 2015. Here is how they chose to stage their song:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(The one thing I can say about this is that the boy playing a niqabi doesn't appear to have taken it off at any point, which is better than Skam Italia did.)
At this point, you might think that perhaps Jonas might have reason to be appalled that Eva, who he assumed shared his values, decided to get involved in Russefeiring. However, one other thing about Russefeiring is that literally EVERY YOUNG PERSON in Norway is supposed to love all of this shit. My evidence is very anecdotal, but I once asked a Norwegian high school student how many people aren't involved in Russefeiring. He said everyone is, the only people who aren't are the friendless losers. I also came across a Norwegian young woman's blog who said she preferred talking to people from abroad, because she didn't have to explain to them that she never actually did Russe, because to admit she hadn't, would immediately show her to have been a total outcast in high school. Like, this is an issue for people into their twenties.
So Jonas isn't just taking a stance to be cool, the fact that he is vocally opposed to Russefeiring in every way makes him (and the boy squad) total losers. In fact, Chris Schistad referred to Jonas as a nerd and the boy squad plainly wasn't in William's radar at all. It wasn't a thing like in Skam NL, where Kes' squad was leagues and miles above Noah's squad in terms of coolness (MOTHERfucker... don't even try to tell me Gijs was cooler than Kes lmao). Jonas would've been seen as a loser and a burnout, and that's what Jonas was talking about when he told Eva that she was always doing the popular thing to do. Because he very staunchly refused to participate in this tradition, despite the fact that doing so made him an outcast, because, for him, THAT was the moral thing to do.
Having read all this (you poor soul), and being on tumblr like you are, is it really that unthinkable that Jonas would think that Russefeiring and the culture associated with it is crap? Do you really think a 16-year old has the nuance to say, "you know, Russefeiring stands for everything I hate, but since you're friendless because of me, and this is your chance at having friends, I will put my ideals aside and support you in this." Absolutely not lmao. How many of you would even now shit on friends if they stepped outside the line of what tumblr considers woke? How many people on twitter turn on each other for transgressions like stanning the wrong Skams? Jonas was shitty because he was super rigid in what he considered the right way to behave, but in that sense, he was actually one of the most accurate portrayals of a specific type of Gen Z. Unlike idk, characters who quote fucking Animal Farm to talk about school festivals.
(And NOW that all of that has been established, I can finally begin dissecting season 1 lol.)

hi there! I just finished reading your bosselot fics and loved them! I wanted to ask if you would maybe share some personal headcanons? The way you write those two is awesome. Any tips on characterization? Sorry if this is too much to ask, you don't have to answer all of it! Good work anyway!
Hi!!! Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed them!! I don't know if I have much advice on characterisation but I can try to share a few headcanons and general waffle abt how I write them!
(also, just 2 let u know if u wanna send any more asks, I don't actually use this blog for fandom stuff! @lucky-draws is where i post my fics and art, so I prefer to receive asks related to my fics there! it's no worries to answer here for now of course but just for future reference! ✌️)
I'll answer under the cut in case it gets long:
I'm actually sort of struggling to pin down what kind of specific headcanons I should mention, I'm not sure how exactly to articulate my thoughts on these two, I've never written down a list of headcanons abt them lol but I'll try to give a few things:
- one kind of trivial headcanon i have that i usually use in my fics is bb calling ocelot 'major' as a nickname, i just sort of imagine that it's an ironic kind of nickname to them rather than a title, because they both know ocelot only got the rank of major at the ripe age of 20 because of his connection to the boss and the philosophers, so it's a sort of light-hearted dig at him for that.
(and it fits with them, because i don't think they're the types to have normal or cutesy terms of "endearment" or anything, with bosselot in general it's always about insults-veiled-as-flirting and flirting-veiled-as-insults and just general tough love in some ways jhjhjg you know?
- one very definite headcanon is that ocelot wears the bullet necklace like, all the time...im a big sucker for the idea that he keeps it throughout his whole horrible life
- i don't think they got "together"/hooked up until at least the late 60s; i headcanon, as a lot of people probably do, that ocelot went looking for big boss sort of very soon after snake eater, but their first few years mainly consisted of bb teaching ocelot CQC and probably deliberately ignoring any advances lmao because i think ocelot being a) 20 and b) the boss' son would have stopped bb from immediately reciprocating lmao
- i can see bb actually being the one to tell ocelot that the boss was his mother, since bb was the one who heard her talk about her child, and along with conversations from eva and the fact that ocelot is uh kind of the spitting image he would have pieced it together before ocelot realised or found out....idk how that conversation would go tho LOL
- i think the patriots era was sort of the happiest time for them - until less enfants terribles fucked everything up. i always imagine that despite their various differences, they also bring out a playfulness in each other that wouldn't ordinarily be there - i imagine the patriots era, and early msf days to an extent, were spent dicking around and generally having a relatively good time, as much it's possible in their lives anyway
- i think their personalities go well together, like i do see younger ocelot as actually very funny/sharp when he wants to be, and bb has a sort of dry humour that matches up to that. it's easy to think of big boss as this sullen, humourless tough guy character, and he does get more withdrawn as he gets older, but in that snake eater to early msf days era he really does have a sort of charm and a capacity to strike up a real banter with ocelot that bridges their age gap.
🐆🐍
In terms of tips on characterisation, I'm not sure what to say there. I don't feel like I can say "you should write bosselot like this", because everyone's interpretation of them is different? There's no single way to write them, and I take generous liberties with canon to sort of turn ocelot in my own version of ocelot in some aspects, anyway.
I see ocelot as this very sort of lone figure who's detached from everyone else; always on the outside, observing but never fully taking part; and actually it's fitting that big boss is kind of the same. I remember seeing a post on here where someone was comparing bb and snavid and comparing how snavid always listens to whatever ppl are going off about via codec, even if he isn't interested, whereas bb would always be more clearly disinterested in paramedics ramblings. They both claim to not be interested in other people's lives - but with bb it is actually true, whereas snavid as we see later actually does have far more of a heart. So yeah, with bosselot it really is a case of two toxic, horrible bastards making each other worse... xD
If you mean characterisation tips in general, I feel like I'm too new to fiction writing to give much good advice! xD But it's a question of little details, I think; how exactly a character performs a trivial action, the ways you describe the manner in which they speak and carry themselves to show that they're a dick, without actually explicitly saying to the reader 'he is a dick'. xD
Actually, writing from second person point of view, as I've done for the last couple of fics, is perhaps easier for really getting to a characters' thoughts and how they react to things, because it's really a stream of their consciousness. Having said that though, when it comes to the other characters in a 2nd person pov fic, you've got to rely on the kind of details that I just mentioned to show what they're like, since there are no inner thoughts from them - as well as reactions from the protagonist, but of course the protagonist's impression of other characters isn't necessarily going to be accurate...
Big Boss and Ocelot are both quite tricky characters to write well, actually; because it's easy to make them into cartoonish exaggerations of their already batshit canon selves, rather than something more believably realistic. Ocelot, with his ridiculous gun spinning and cowboy couture and flair for the dramatic and his tendency to always be behind some elaborate scheme, is very much a pantomime villain; but it's getting to the actual genuine, serious motivations and feelings behind him that is fascinating to explore.
🐆🐍
I think that's probably all I can coherently say for now, hopefully some of this made sense! Sorry if it wasn't that informative. And thank you again for dropping by, I'm very happy to hear you enjoyed my stuff. Hope you have a good day!! 💕

hadestown brain dump (songs)
SPOILERS FOR HADESTOWN/THE STORY OF ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE
ok so it may have been more than a few days, but what're you gonna do about it?
so i wanted to do another brain dump, and i wanted to listen to hadestown, so i'm doing a song by song brain dump as i go along. this means that my thoughts are going to be even more stream-of-consciousness style (if that's even possible.) also i'm talking specifically about the original broadway cast recording bc i haven't listened to any other version. (also this was completed across multiple months so it is even more chaotic lmao).
also i highly recommend that you listen to the musical and/or pull up the lyrics as you go along! enjoy!
road to hell. the way andre brings in the chorus is flawless please. also the way that hermes is both a narrator and a character in the story he's narrating? beautiful. "the king of the mine." he sounds so nice here for some reason. also love his self-introduction "maybe it will turn out this time" no it won't but thank you for trying. also breaking the fourth wall to acknowledge the chorus and crew is so nice, here comes reeve ;) mans sounds like an angel. you can hear amber's voice stick out of the chorus and i literally love it so much. i'd die for amber gray but we'll get to that later.
any way the wind blows. the fates literally sound so perfect together. Eva's intro throws me off every time, she sounds so pretty. dear god the harmonies with the fates hit so different. can this cast please narrate my life? there's the wind comparisons ;D the "ooos" are so good. "and it ain't because i'm kind" idk i just like how andre sounds here. oh and the funny behind "so i took him underneath my wing" because hermes has wings on his helmet and shoes.
come home with me. orpheus is so oblivious but i love it. also eurydice is literally such a mood. the wordplay with "come again". the "oh, he's crazy" is my favorite part of the whole song. also eva's voice acting is so good.
wedding song. the way she says "lover"? my ass cannot handle this. eva sounds so smug in the beginning of this song and i love it. "sing the song ;)" eurydice is so fantastic. the chorus of "la" is so pretty. eva joining in during the end is just. so perfect.
epic i. hell yeah introduce the king and queen (both literally and figuratively). reeve's falsetto <3 the way orpheus looks to hermes for approval throughout the musical. hermes narrating over orpheus singing.
livin' it up on top. HELL YES THE QUEEN HAS ARRIVED. i love amber gray so much. the gravel and the rasp. please step on me. also i love the idea of persephone being the wine aunt, especially because media usually portrays her as soft and breakable. the way she says "haaard". the way the music gets more upbeat and energetic when hermes says "the world came back to liiife!" the instrumental/dance? break is so good. please kill me with that trumpet good sir. the leadup to when amber starts singing again. orpheus really knows how to give a speech. "i will ;)" amber please step on me i am not joking.
all i've ever known (intro). thank you for the intro king. the music is so pretty. the way it picks up with the piano part <3
all i've ever known. eva sounds so pretty dear god. yay more wind references! the wordplay with "hold". and also the references to hot and cold throughout the musical. "i don't wanna ever have to let you go." lol ironic because she ends up going with hades. "i knew you before we met, and i don't even know you yet." the fucking wordplay. like holy shit. the "love at first sight" feelings. this line gets me every damn time. the wordplay from 2:10 - 2:38 is so fucking incredible. i lose it every time istg. the instrumental portion is so pretty. the wind! "we'll always be like this" i fucking love irony so much. its so underrated and adds so many layers to the story.
way down hadestown. amber gray. that's it. "you either get to hell or to hadestown, ain't no difference anymore". i fucking love this line so much. not really sure why but the delivery is perfect. also the whole thing with it being a train? i love that so much. all the allusions and comparisons they can make are fantastic. more amber gray appreciation. and ofc. the fates. more fantastic instrumental breaks. "and you better forget about your wishing well." this line is so good but so sad because its literally persephone saying that "hey, fair warning, life is shit down there" and i feel bad for her. like the way she's super sassy and shit, but just stops singing when hades gets there, you can tell that she's definitely not ok. speaking of hades, holy shit patrick page. sounds so fucking fantastic. thank you for existing good sir. eva with the breathtaking single lines. and eva's voice standing out when she sings "ground".
a gathering storm. the constant references to weather and nature throughout the whole musical. eurydice with the common sense. the wind again! "did you hear me, orpheus?" he did not, in fact, hear her.
epic ii. the different names for hades in each epic make me so happy. hades thoughts: "i think my wife might not come back cause i'm super controlling. whatever shall i do? oh, i know! be even more controlling!" lmao dumbass motherfucker. that might not work out so well. i fucking love the transition into "chant" so much.
chant. this is one of my favorite songs from the musical. the wordplay within the entire song is so fucking fantastic. hades singing about desire and then orpheus singing the "song of love" was definitely done on purpose and i'm living for it. every single one of eva's lines make me emotional. ma'am why are you good at everything?? the band! more weather references! patrick page singing "lover" hits different. orpheus singing about hades and persephone being blind and deaf. lmao irony because he's not paying attention to anything around him. the wind! weather! "the song of love" is what brought orpheus and eurydice together, but orpheus' devotion to finishing it is what drives eurydice to hades. "did you think i'd be impressed" i was right ;) it didn't work out so well.
hey, little songbird. the strings <3 patrick page is a god (lol i'm so funny). how does he manage to make manipulation sound so good? bird references! the vocal contrast! eva's voice has this kind of "innocence" to it. especially compared to patrick. not sure if that's on purpose or not, but i love it. also the low note kills me every time. the octave jumps between patrick and eva's voices is just. ugh. and also eva's entire second verse is so fucking good. the emotion she portrays in her voice is so spectacular. seriously hades with the manipulation is so interesting and its so good. (manipulation is not a good thing i just mean that its done so well in the show. do not manipulate people!)
when the chips are down (intro). "your ticket ;)" yes pls sir i'll take a ticket cause life sucks ass.
when the chips are down. i fucking love the fates dear god. gambling references! eva has literally one line and still owns my heart. the band! "shoot to kill" sounds so good like i love it so much pls. also this fucking line "cast your eyes to heaven, you get a knife in the back" is so good. i'm gonna have to get into quite a few lines throughout the musical in a different brain dump because i have so much thought.
gone, i'm gone. darling eurydice. its not your fault that you're starving stop apologizing. "talk of sin" lol she do be going to hell. that's funny. the harmonies.
wait for me (intro). the piano. heremes trying to change the subject hurts my heart. and orpheus' reaction is so sad please. "no.." just rip my fucking heart out, why don't you?
wait for me. the transition. andre coming in clutch with the narration. reeve sounds wonderful, as always. the fucking fates. just kill me already. they literally sound so good. the strings' build up between the "la"s. the chorus. the buildup at the end.
why we build the wall. the total 180 in the vibes. call and response has a special pace in my heart. mr page killing it again. god, hades is such a piece of shit and its perfect. he really is a master manipulator. fuck capitalism. the chorus sounds so good. i want to platonically smooch all of them. jesus fucking christ burn capitalism to the ground. the end is amazing. also the not-so-subtle references to slavery/forced labor.
why we build the wall (outro). i'd die for andre. "anybody want a drink?" yes ma'am. yes please. (don't drink, kids) i love you so much.
our lady of the underground. its so jazzy! jesus fucking christ. oh my fucking god. i would literally sell my soul for amber gray. what did we ever do to deserve her? god the raspiness fucking kills me. also love that she breaks the fourth wall to acknowledge the band. when she comes back in after the instrumental break? consider me dead. "what the boss don't know, the boss won't mind" she sounds so good here. also i love that she straight up doesn't give a fuck about hades here.
way down hadestown (reprise). hell yeah i love reprises. the fates. andre. the chorus. i love them all. i'm such a whore for reoccurring lyrics. the strings! fuck capitalism! eva's emotions are just so fucking good. "you've already forgot?" holy shit. this shit hurted. the "ahh ooh"s are so good.
flowers. the intro <3. eva sounds so pretty. the fucking symbolism in this song is incredible. i'm gonna get into this in another brain dump bc it's a very sensitive topic. the fact that she can't actually fully remember orpheus makes me so sad. so pretty <3
come home with me (reprise). hell yeah another reprise. the way the music is much more upbeat when orpheus shows up. their excitement! eva's vocal emotions are literally so fantastic pls.
papers (intro). "young mannn" kill me patrick. train references! hell yeah persephone. the way andre gets louder when he says "raised up his voice." eva <3. reeve just always sounds so pretty. ohmygod the laugh. kill me good sir. mans straight up admits to owning people and is like "it's cool tho cause they signed a piece of paper. def not taking advantage of people that are literally starving or anything. it's fine." fuck you hades. go step on a fucking lego. orpheus is so sad :(
papers (instrumental). yes. sounds so good. i'm imagining an epic chase scene. the transition into nothing changes <3
nothing changes. respectfully? the fates could kill me any day and i'd thank them. the weather reference! that "anyhow" is so fucking good istg.
if it's true. another one of my favorites. pop off intro. the broken "is this how the world is?" sadly, yes. "but everybody knows that walls have ears." is literally such a powerful line to me for some reason. it does a great job of bringing in the chorus. and by calling the workers "walls" it shows that hades views them as "less than." they aren't even referred to as people. "what's the use of his backbone if he never stands upright." oh my god. because they literally cannot stand upright. anais mitchell is literally a fucking genius. fuck the 1%. gambling references! the chorus backing him is just so pretty. the way orpheus looks to the chorus for advice and support. "we're standing." ugh its so good.
how long. oh my fucking god. amber fucking gray. (that's it, that's the post). the way she sounds resigned/disappointed when she says "i've had enough" makes me so sad. there are no words to describe how i feel about 0:25 - 0:41. like their relationship is strained, and super mega fucked up, but it's obvious that they still care about one another. the emotion in their voices throughout this song is fantastic. the play on light and dark. also more bird references! how they view themselves/their self importance. hades is a most importantly king. persephone is most importantly a wife. it really show that hades views power as more important than anything else. "nothing comes of the songs people sing." holy fucking shit. cause their song is the "song of love," but they can barely stand each other and their relationship has fallen apart. persephone commenting on his love of power over his love of her. amber's voice during "the earth must die" is so nice and for what? god i love her. they sound so nice together <3
chant (reprise). another favorite hehe. the strings! it's all just so pretty. when the piano comes in i die a little. the self realization coming from the chorus when they're like "oh shit, this is wrong. i don't deserve to be treated like this." is so fucking fantastic. the "young mannn" again! hades really be like "manipulate her! make her depend on you financially! i've been ding this a while kid! i know how to successfully control women!" reeve sounds so pretty pls. the way that eurydice has basically become part of the chorus (since she's just another worker now). more self realization! the different ways that hades and orpheus view the "song of love." "sing before i kill you so i can use it to manipulate my wife and make her feel like shit." patrick's voice tho.
epic iii. reeve coming in with that falsetto like nobody's business. orpheus really about to bite you in the ass with your own damn song. amber gray <3. the "ooo"s in the background. the way the music picks up when reeve gets to the "la"s. it's just so fucking good. that falsetto again. orpheus really looked at the king of hell, a literal god, and said "i want to ruin him psychologically" and it fucking worked. which is some of my favorite irony because hades wouldn't have shit if it weren't for that fact that he's a good manipulator and takes advantage of the needy. that last line <3
epic iii (instrumental). i have no words for how fucking beautiful this is. i so desperately want an extended version. like for real love this so much. if i get married, i want this to be the song for the first dance.
promises. eurydice is so proud of him for finishing. the way that eurydice realized that she cares about him more that material objects. wind and weather references! "if we can do it so can they!" she sounds so excited. :( "hand-in-hand" lol nope. not them refencing wedding song, anyway the wind blows, and then giving their "i do"s. absolutely heart wrenching.
word to the wise. the fates. pls step on me ladies. the lyrics throughout this are so fucking good. lol hades being damned. cause he's the king of hell. honestly its solid advice tho. humans are really fucking stupid.
his kiss, the riot. give us them adjectives king. " how dare people want rights! >:(" hades is really trying to make himself the good guy rn. the music! 2:15 - 3:03 is so good pls. the lyrics are just so spectacular.
wait for me (reprise) (intro). hello again andre! hermes literally says "he's trying to psych you out and manipulate you. he wants you to doubt everything" and orpheus says "are you sure tho?" and then procedes to doubt everything. the way the music changes is <3. the song transition.
wait for me (reprise). my absolute fucking favorite song in this musical. the first fucking lyric is so good. it really sets an expectation for the song and i am not disappointed. lyrics that talk about how fucked up any single person's brain is are so fucking cool to me. god i love this song. how soft the first set of "wait for me"s are. the support/pressure from the chorus. the entire exchange between hades and persephone. the way amber's voice sticks out of the chorus. the fates coming in clutch again. train references! more brain talk! amber gray please end me. eva sounds so pretty. and the final note is so good!
doubt comes in. the long intro that builds up suspense. the first time that orpheus's "la"s aren't echoed by the chorus/music. wind! weather! the fates sound so pretty like always. reeve genuinely sounds so scared. the way the music picks up and the chorus joins in when eurydice starts singing. the music is so unsettling and i love it. god i love his voice. 3:44 - 3:57 always hits so different. you realize just how much she means to him. how it all goes to shit when the music reaches the climax. the fact that the music clashes on purpose. the sadness in their voices.
road to hell (reprise). it all comes full circle. god andre sounds so sad. the way you come to really hear the lyrics because there's no upbeat music to distract you this time, "its a tragedy" lol because the actual written story is a tragedy. "i learned that from a friend of mine" poor orpheus :(. the way the chorus slowly joins in and the music slowly picks up. the "can you feel it" is literally so fucking powerful. fuck yes amber. fuck it up queen. amber and eva sound so nice together. the "its a love song, its a sad song" is so sad. the final lyric is just. ugh.
we raise our cups. yes pls amber. this song is so pretty. good night queen.
