HOW am I supposed to fit "doesn't actually like musicals" into the existing Swan lore. It's too early in the morning for this

oh i can answer this! when i say i "don't like musicals" i mean it in the same sense that people who have written hundreds of thousands of words of star wars fanfic say "i hate star wars and i wish it was good" or when people who can pinpoint down to the run, issue, page number, panel, and speech bubble where you should start reading their favorite comic say "one day i'm going to burn down dc headquarters and i'm not joking." hope this helps!

#chatter #this makes it sound like i actually know shit about musicals. that is not true either. #in reality ''doesn't actually like musicals'' mostly just means ''i am a filthy modern broadway casual who can't even rattle off #all the major works of sondheim from memory'' #which i acknowledge is embarrassing. i'm WORKING on a piece from sunday in the park with george okay i'm TRYING to get cultured #but it's HARD because there's lots of ACCIDENTALS and i'm a SOPRANO and i CAN'T READ. #also in a very real way sometimes people write musicals that are not good and i think they shouldn't do that. #i think people should write good and not bad and i also think people should stop fucking putting jukebox musicals on bway. #i know they move ticket sales (?) but i think they are lazy and boring and i don't like them. #this also applies to moulin rouge the musical with all due respect to karen olivo. write a fucking original song. #(i say ''write a fucking original song'' but then pasek & paul are like ''hey'' and i'm like NOT FUCKING LIKE THAT so.)
