there’s room for a great star wars mamma mia au in there somewhere. before her marriage to finn, rey reads the entirety of jyn’s diary and decides to invite all three guys her mother mentioned in entries from the year she was born to find out who her real dad is. cue the imminent arrival of arrival of cassian, a tightly wrapped leftist attourney, luke, a wandering gay travel writer, and han, a man who has a boat. also enter vel and cinta, jyn’s former band mates and rey’s lesbian aunties. everyone has such a good time with the abba dance numbers for days but at some point jyn has to at some point be like rey you know you’re adopted, right? none of these men is your biological father. but she has three (3) dads anyway

allow me to indulge my gay theatre nerd side for a moment. now if i'm being perfectly honest, i normally don't like jukebox musicals. they usually feel too forced to me and i prefer a musical that actually has songs, y'know, written specifically for it and isn't just trying to fit songs into a story they weren't made for. it just feels more creative to me. if i wanted to listen to preexisting songs, i'd just listen to them at home without the extra story. i don't need a musical for that. HOWEVER. if anyone wanted to write a jukebox musical using fall out boy or mcr songs i would eat that shit UP no questions asked. in fact if i had any talent i'd write one myself

was thinking about this earlier when i briefly saw meems for lunch but i really don't know how you could do a ~modern take on DRACULA SPECIFICALLY without buying into extremely obvious antisemitism and/or icke lizard person illuminati shit... i love vampires deeply and sexily but this one particular book. man. not sure there's anything salvageable there to rewrite. what's attractive about this book (to me!) is the prose and its place in literary history, not... the specifics of its plot
one of the thigns i thought was most interesting in that article i linked (circumcising dracula) was the idea that vampire lore is inherently intertextual... that modern stories rely on pop-cultural knowledge and awareness of existing tropes (and specifically that they almost always explicitly reference existing works, like name dropping authors) which has been really interesting to note as i listen to mckinley sunshine and which like in retrospect is absolutely a staple of the genre, yk? in every piece of vampire media i can think of off the top of my head as an amateur non specialist vamp enjoyer there's some sort of trope rundown, what Works in this particular world, are they sexy draculas or sparkly or ugly (which. what are the traits that makes someone ugly. hm!) those ferati or what... i just think it's neat. everyone wants to revisit other works... i don't think ive seen quite the same thing in like. other fantastical subgenre of networks of intertwined not just tropes but specific Texts... and they all do bow down to The Original Modern Vampire so it's been really interesting to see HOW different mr. dracul adaily is from the pop-cultural shadow he leaves

Mamma Mia (2008) was such a formative part of my childhood and I had no right to be obsessed with it at the ripe age of 5
