thinking abt 1981 tv series Zaphod Beeblebrox's second head.
holy shit that was awesome. the cinematography?? the lighting?? the outfits?? the makeup?? Alex Winter?? incredible. amazing. beautiful.
because I can and will mash together all of my obsessions something something 60s AU.
this is already long so i'll be shortening some quotes but also it's. it's abt les mis ofc it's super long
also thank you Genius.com annotations on Beatles songs
Do You Want To Know A Secret - im a sucker for cute enjoltaire shit.
I Want To Hold Your Hand - cmon. cmon. you know why.
Yesterday - feels like "let me sleep here until I die" like R thinking abt how a couple days ago he was just hanging out and joking with his friends and now he's forced to process the fact that they're not going to survive the barricade.
Nowhere Man - this song is based on John not being sure of who he was, "doing nothing and going nowhere" which is very R. also features the line "he's as blind as he can be" which reminds me of "no one loves the light like the blind man".
With a Little Help from my Friends - R cares abt his friends. I think that, while he wouldn't admit it, Les Amis mean so much to him. He needs them. "I get by with a little help from my friends" "he took no pleasure anywhere but there; he followed them everywhere. His joy was to see these forms go and come through the fumes of wine."
Fool on the Hill - "Day after day, alone on a hill, the man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still. But nobody wants to know him, they can see that he's just a fool" ok this is reminds me of "All those words: rights of the people, [revolution, etc.] came very near to signifying nothing whatsoever to Grantaire. He smiled at them. Scepticism, that caries of the intelligence, had not left him a single whole idea."
Blue Jay Way - (omg i need more people to listen to this song i love it so much) similar to yesterday. "and my friends have lost their way. 'We'll be over soon,' they said, now they've lost themselves instead" again, thinking about how his friends are going to die. "Ask a policeman on the street, there's so many there to meet" mk so the song itself is about George waiting for the other Beatles to come to his house but they are lost in a fog. Blue Jay Way overlooks an area called the Sunset Strip, where a series of riots took place. "please, don't be long, or I may be asleep". he falls asleep at the barricade.
Hello, Goodbye - oh nooo Enjolras and Grantaire arguinggg. smth smth uhhhh Grantaire's laid-back nature compared to Enjolras' austere nature. which one is "you" and which one is "I"?i don't know, i think it sort of changes depending on the line. "You say yes, I say no, you say stop, and I say go, go, go. You say goodbye, and I say hello." "You say 'why?' and I say 'I don't know'."
Something - R and Enj "Somewhere in her smile, she knows that I don't need no other lover." "He had need of Enjolras". also "Something in the way she knows ... something in the things she shows me" "That chaste, healthy, firm, upright, hard, candid nature charmed him, without his being clearly aware of it. His soft, shapeless ideas attached themselves to Enjolras as to a spinal column. His moral backbone leaned on that firmness. Grantaire in the presence of Enjolras became someone once more." edit: alsoo R being in love with Enj but being afraid of getting closer to him because he knows that Enj is going to die. "You're asking me, will my love grow? I don't know, I don't know. You stick around, now, it may show, I don't know, I don't know" "I don't wanna leave her now, you know I believe, and how."
because I can and will find parallels between anything I like and the Beatles
why did maths ahve to exist
aghaghhaghaghag I loved it so muuch!! I absolutely love Ncuti's doctor he's so cool and I'm so excited to see more episodes with him!!! Also super excited to see more of Millie!! Loved the musical number. When I first heard a bit of it on Unleashed, I wasn't entirely sure abt it, but hearing it in the episode was awesome! It's definitely grown on me and I loved Ncuti and Millie's singing. Absolutely loooooooved the goblins' look. The goblin king puppet thingy was amazing, the goblins looked amazing, their outfits were awesome. v interested in seeing who Mrs Flood is and why she knows what the tardis is!

(For when you come back from your Hiatus) Bill and Ted on the Ed Sullivan show with the Beatles
bill and ted are on the ed sullivan show with the beatles! would you hold his hand, dude?
Sooo at 16:42 in the episode Boring, while the gang are walking to the pub and Madness' House of Fun is playing, there's a nod to Abbey Road with a shot where they walk across a zebra crossing in single file. I'm. I. I just love the Beatles i love them so much i have to talk abt this i just. i don't know if the order was intentional but i can definitely see reasons why would they put them in that order.
So, on the cover of Abbey Road, the order goes George, Paul, Ringo, John and in the episode, the order is Neil, Rik, Mike, Vyvyan
first of all, Vyvyan and John- Both are arguably the most recognisable member of their group, have the best fashion sense (imo) and are very aggressive in their actions and sense of humour.
Mike and Ringo- both are the shortest and oldest member of their group.
Rik and Paul- I'd argue are the 2nd most recognisable members of their group. Liked to think they're the leader of their group. Both are vegetarians. I can't really think of that many similarities between them. other than those, they're quite different. Paul's definitely a lot nicer than Rik. Also little visual detail that I like was included, Rik's holding a cigarette, which Paul also was on the album cover.
Neil and George - Both showed interest in Hinduism and both played guitar. I think both are wearing flares? both tend to get ignored a lot. With Neil, it's more malicious but with George I think it's just that people tend to focus on John and Paul's music more.
Also at the start of Sick, they reference Twist and Shout which is v cool. The order is different in that episode, and I don't think there's a link to the corresponding Beatles' personalities in that other than maybe Paul and Neil.
edit: also!! didn't notice this at first but their arms are all in pretty similar places to the corresponding Beatles. v cool.
he/she/theyjust thoughts I have abt stuff im interested inmusical theatre - les mis especially, Bears in Trees, dr who, the beatles and some stuff from the 80s ccc:Alsooo I do art sometimes
