Something I noticed when watching Blue Beetle was that the Reyes family kept speaking Spanish around Jenny and never translated anything, but she still seemed to understand.
Then I realized that the subtitles for Spanish didn’t show up all the time while I was watching but I still managed to understand the most part
What I’m trying to say is Portuguese 🤝 Spanish alliance came out strong and surprisingly accurate
just a thought about multishipping but like i actually really like noticing how different a character is when they’re paired with one person versus any others. because like, loving someone changes you, and different people are going to bring out different sides to you that’s normal, and you’ll grow together with this person evolve in a way that is so unique and special, because you fell in love and chose to be with them. so when people get in to ship wars and they say stuff like “XYZ character is so ooc they would never act like that” or “they would never be with that person” i’m just like, well you don’t know that. i think it’s really cool, that starting from the same base characterisation, we can reason thru so many different ways for that character to evolve like that’s just fun. ofc every pairing isn’t your cup of tea and that’s fine, but idk it’s interesting to me just to observe.
I don't know if this is a new addition or not (never got it before), but I need more of this. More blurred lines between redeemed/evil Durge, please? Love being given more space for roleplay 🥰
(Kind of sucks that everyone still yelled at me afterwards, though)
a year and a half after getting into elisabeth das musical and diving into research and analysis and i still don’t fully understand why milch is there as a song.
from the (admittedly limited) research i’ve done, i can’t find any actual basis for the “elisabeth bathed in milk” thing. she certainly had her own odd and certainly wasteful eating and beauty practices, but “stealing milk from starving peasants so she can bathe in it” wasn’t something i found. also even though the musical is quite political and broadly about the fall of the hapsburg empire, this feels like the only time we really see how elisabeth (and ANY of the monarchy really) affects regular people. these angry peasants show up to complain about milk and then we NEVER hear about what life is like for the peasantry ever again. it feels (imo) SO out of place and I cannot for the life of me figure out why this song exists.
is this based on a popular rumor that was perpetrated about her? is it supposed to be an embellishment of what she actually did, intended to highlight how out of touch she is with the needs of her country? is this supposed to be more of a metaphorical moment, to showcase how sissi is growing so engrossed in her own suffering that she’s ignoring the suffering of everyone around her (something that culminates in how she deals with rudolf’s plea for help)? is lucheni just lying and deliberately riling up the populace for his own gain? is it just filler so elisabeth’s actress has time to change into her act 2 finale costume?
i understand that with every production the intentions are likely to change, but without being fully aware of the original intention behind the song in the writers room i rly do feel like i’m just throwing darts at a board here trying to piece together how this fits with everything else.
I just realized...another way that WAD showed how Belos is just really self-righteous and doesn't actually care about "saving souls" (aside from the Titan putting it all so nicely) was how he went from claiming to serve a god to trying to forcibly become a god. And if anyone knows anything about the God in the Bible (the one Belos THINKS he understands), it's that when you try to be God, you... well, you get exactly what Belos got.
ooooh okay so this is an interesting one. my current favorite song is Vampire Money by MCR, and my favorite song overall is Undercover Martyn by Two Door Cinema Club. but i think a song that impacted me the most would probably be San Cristóbal by Mal Blum!
Being a fibre artist is fun because you’ll start looking at sheep and going “I want to shear you and make a sweater out of your wool” and promptly feel deeply connected to your farmer ancestors
