[image description: ten images of quotes and lyrics from different sources that read as follows.
1. “SUDDENLY—A BIG STAR FIZZING IN YOUR THROAT”
2. “but the stars don’t shine, they burn, and the constellations shift”
3. “even stars burn out.”
4. “i am burning in stars, i am feverishly filled with stars”
5. “but dinah is immolating, an asteroid that will, by definition never reach the ground.”
6. “i’ll be the star, you can be the horrified one.”
7. “when i was your orbit and you were my star, but now you’re a black hole”
8. “she remembers passion from dinah that burned brighter than she could ever imagine, brighter than a star and just as beautiful.”
9. “and stars, asteroids, which either burn themselves up or hit the ground and cause a great, big fucking hole. It was always me or someone else. the hurt seemed nonnegotiable.”
Yes, I’m branching out from XWP again because it’s basically dead now. heh Anyway, I just returned from Japan and on the way home, watched Encanto for the first time on the plane. Something interesting stuck out to me.
Isabela hits Mariano, someone who has done nothing against her but rather adores her, with erupting flowers twice and breaks his nose both times. Mirabel lobs perhaps the only insults at Isabela that she has ever received, particularly hurtful ones too, and so gets hit in the face with two erupting flowers as well (one she punches back and so bops her a second time 😆). But they do not injure her!
No matter how verbally harsh Isabela and Mirabel are with each other and how cruel Isabela is perceived as being to her sister, she never physically hurts the girl. Did you guys notice this parallel? Is it commonly acknowledged?
.
*Also, who knew flowers could be such deadly weapons? Can you imagine being a big, strong man like Mariano is but getting your bones shattered by friggin flowers, twice, no less? And for what? Being enamored with a temperamental bella everyone thinks is the ideal? Poor guy! :")
im going to say it… lin manuel miranda is a well trained actor and is actually eating hermes up a little bit… y’all just need to let go of your thirteen year old self who was cringe about hamilton…. do not let your anger be misdirected towards an artist that lost control of his creation…
i hope the pjo show makes lmm hermes. not him playing hermes; he IS hermes.
percy: you’re hermes? wait aren’t you that guy who wrote hamilton
hermes: i made a bet with apollo bc he said i wouldn’t be able to write a musical better than him. i needed to prove my superiority. artemis gave us each a topic to write about.
Hc that Hermes created the Lin Manuel persona as a joke but Hamilton was wildly successful so he just kept it up and Apollo is FURIOUS that a) he’s overstepped into his domain and b) he’s so damn GOOD at it (much to the chagrin of literally everyone)
It’s like the dam cow thing all over again, but this time instead of stealing fifty of his cows Hermes stole his bit.
I was in the Hunger Games and the only other person alive was Lin-Manuel Miranda, and he was freestyle rapping everything he said. He killed me with a spear while singing something from Hamilton.
