    As someone who does NOT like horror movies,

    I want to say that The Sixth Sense is an incredible movie.

    Here's a poem/potential song (folk-y vibes, possibly?) I wrote!

    Spoiler

    My soul alone grew bitterly cold

    Losing my light, losing my light

    But a stranger came and cleared my sight

    Silver and gold, silver and gold

    His touch made the world feel bright

    Losing my light, now all is silver and gold

     

    You see the beauty, you say it's so stark

    Shimmering joy in a world grown so dark

    You see the colors I don't understand

    You have such courage and hold to my hand

    Give me the courage to hold to your hand!

     

    My love took a voyage far away

    Ever apart, ever apart

    In a ship that shone with stolen stars

    Silver and grey, silver and grey

    Oh, the keeper of my heart

    Ever apart, silver and silver and grey

     

    Show me the beauty you say is so stark

    Shimmering joy in a world grown so dark

    Show me the colors I don't understand

    Help me have courage to hold to your hand

    I cannot live without holding your hand

     

    My love, he sailed into the sky

    Why did you go? Why did you go?

    For you told me I deserved to know:

    Silver and white, silver and white

    You told me love can always grow

    Why did you go? Silver and silver and white

     

    You showed me beauty you said was so stark

    Shimmering joy in a world grown so dark

    You showed me colors I didn't understand

    You gave me courage to hold to your hand

    Now I have courage to let go your hand

     

    But where did you go? Silver and silver and white

    Why did you go? Silver and silver and white

      That's beautiful. I love the rhythm and your use of repetition--reminds me of some of my favorite poems.

    I like crunchy peanut butter more than creamy peanut butter. Well, that depends on your definition of living, and also your definition of people.

    Anybody read the Jackaby series by William Ritter? I read it on @IheartKaladin4eva's recommendation and L O V E D it. It's not very well known, so I kinda doubt it...

      ooo what’s it about?

      It's a girl who goes to America in search of a job and ends up being employed by Mr. R. F. Jackaby, a detective who specializes in paranormal investigation. He's very quirky and his thing is that he is "the Seer", which means he sees auras of magical creatures and other things. It's a lot of fun, Jackaby cracks me up! The fourth book made me cry! 🥰

    To my Hadestown buddies:

    Spoiler

    Movie: yea or nay?

    When Orpheus turns: "It's you/It's me" or "You're early/I missed you"?

      Nay, hadestown needs to be experienced live, it was written that way and it’s the kind of performance that shouldn’t be seen recorded.

      No so those were the original lyrics (which you probably already know lol) and I think it’s you/it’s me is better musically and just slaps but you’re early/I missed you brings in the most epic thoughts about hades and persophone

      yea because i need to be able to watch it in the comfort of my house

      i mean they’re making a pro-shot so i’ll be set :3

      and i prefer “it’s you/it’s me” just cuz i think it flows better and the “you’re early/i missed you” is just such a classic hades/persephone moment that i think it would take away from literally the most important/impactful moment in the entire musical by bringing the attention back to hades and persephone

      like i LOVE the full-circle moment of the “you’re early/i missed you” idea that Anaïs had at first, but like the scene needed to be its own thing cuz it’s

      yk it’s THE MOMENT

      but what about we broke people who can't afford to go see it

      I think that it could be really cool, to kind of illustrate the more abstract stuff. Not necessarily de-abstractify too much, but I just think that if you had a good creative team, they could do an amazing job taking the lyrics and the vibe and the whole awesomeness of the show and making some gorgeous settings and visuals. I just love the whole vibe of the show and I think it could stand some adaptation into a movie. Of course I am excited for the pro shot though

      Well also my school did it with the You're early/I missed you and it blew my mind and broke my heart and I really really loved it, so there's that. I do like the brevity and concision of It's you/It's me though

    It's an old song
  21. S. Stormy

    Hello everybody, I should be working on an essay about Shakespeare but I DON'T WANT TO. Have an essay about Hadestown instead.
    (hehe)
    Sooo as some of you may have noticed by my member title, I recently (last Friday it was) watched Hadestown with some friends. @IheartKaladin4eva It was amazing and awesome and I cried and I shed unnumbered tears (usually I count my tears; I didn't this time. Hence "unnumbered".). Here's the funny thing. I didn't see it on Broadway, or the West End (70% sure those are different things). I saw it at my local high school. (I also watched it last Saturday, because tickets are not as expensive when it's your local high school.)
    It was amazing. I'd had almost zero exposure to Hadestown before I saw it, except I'd listened to the beginning of one song once. They weren't allowed to be influenced costume-wise or setup-wise by the Broadway costumes/setup, so they totally did their own thing, and it was AMAZING. They had this little rectangular hole in the stage with stairs on one side, and Hades walked up through said hole, and Persephone walked down through that hole, and a fog machine was used every time and it was flippin' AWESOME. When (spoilers for Hadestown)

    Spoiler

    Orpheus turns around to look at Eurydice and they have their little "You're early..." "I missed you." "Orpheus..." "Eurydice" and then Eurydice goes down to Hadestown, they had Eurydice on the side of the pit without stairs, and then she takes a step and falls into the pit so smoothly and so suddenly that it's like she just disappears. It was incredibly effective.

    The chemistry between the Orpheus/Eurydice and Hades/Persephone was SO SWEET (which is funny because Hades and Eurydice are dating in real life; you would not know it from the performance) and "All I've Ever Known" was so incredibly sweet. The acting was amazing, the production was amazing, THE FATES' COSTUMES AND HARMONIES WERE SOOOO COOL (there were six Fates actually, guess they wanted more roles, but it worked anyway, almost even better than three). Hades' voice and singing was incredibly impressive. I loved it, and heard from someone that SAW AN ACTUAL PROFESSIONAL HADESTOWN that this one was better. Who knows. But it can't be recorded because copyright, and so this incredible experience lives only in the memories of those who saw it. Which is very sad but also kinda cool to say. Anyway! My mind is blown and wow yes many awesomes. Essay over!

      Ooh yes, I was talking with @IheartKaladin4eva about how THEY HAVEN'T PUT THEIRS UP AND I NEEEEED IT

      😭 girl you’re gonna make me cry just thinking about it. Best production I’ve ever seen in my life. None of the videos I’ve seen online even come CLOSE to being as fantastic as that was. Casting? Perfection. Singing? Perfection. Choreography/stage directions? Perfection. Overall vibe? PERFECTION. I’m broken inside knowing I’ll never see it again.

    If I could ask Tolkien one random question I would ask What in the world did Frodo say when his neighbors or any person from his home asked what happened to his finger? Did he try to explain? Did he just make up something? I want to know

    Mm. Viola. Delicious! Love me some giant cows fable/haven
