Staircase Ballet How I Love You

Someone cooked here….

byler: laying the pipework

another reminder that years ago (i believe around 2017), david harbour spoke about easter eggs in season 1 that we won't fully understand until season 4, and that they refer to a "beautiful story that we've been seeing this whole time."

and that after season 4 dropped, noah said that it was pretty clear will had feelings for mike and that they've been INTENTIONALLY hinting at that (laying the pipework) since season 1 (which, might i add, could only really be referring to mike as will is BARELY IN season 1 -- a season that focuses on mike's drive to find will and his devastation at potentially losing him)

what else has been built up since season 1/hinted at? i'd say the only realistic thing is the vecna/eleven backstory, but that is in no way a "beautiful" story as David suggests. in fact, that is a story of manipulation and trauma for eleven and potentially other characters. it definitely doesn't fit into the way both David and noah have characterized things that have been "laying the pipework" for the "beautiful" ending of season 5.

additionally, keep in mind that finn has said he really wants will to have a happy ending, and that he thinks he WILL have one.

all of these comments put together, combined with the way the ending of season 4 has mike and will attached at the hip and promising to kill vecna TOGETHER has huge implications for not just their romantic relationship, but also their relationship being something that will tie together the show's ending entirely.

even matt and ross duffer have said something similar

in sum, all of this together with mike and will/finn and noah filming together CONSTANTLY....well, I'll let you connect the dots.

gay.

I can’t stop thinking about this scene with Alex and Erik‘s Albus and Scorpius.

our tour scorbus !!!!!

dear lord he's FEELING IN LOVE !!!!!

Two short clips from act 1 scene 3 of the German production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child! ✨

Insane

Another favourite is OBVIOUSLY scorbus which is the ship between Scorpius Malfoy and Albus Severus Potter

In their original 2 parter versions they were written as best friends and Scorpius ended the show by asking Rose out, however when the 1 parter was released this was changed and it has since been changed in the 2 parter as well. Some people still aren’t aware that scorose is no longer canon and scorbus now is.

Along with removing scorose they also made several other changes to make Scorpius and Albus’ relationship less platonic since actors and fans had been asking for years.

Scorpius is nerdy, sweet and goofy. He loves sweets and homework and is thrilled when he’s compared to Hermione Granger. Just like his father, Draco Malfoy, he has platinum hair, grey eyes and a pointed chin. He also has his fathers nose.

Albus is the second son of Ginny and Harry as well as the middle child. He is the only Slytherin in his Gryffindor family. He hates quidditch, Hogsmeade, Hogwarts, Hogwarts Students and, according to everyone else, Gryffindor. Albus has a rough relationship with his older brother, his father, his cousin and all his classmates except Scorpius. He also tends to struggle in school. He’s described to look about as much like Harry as Scorpius looks like Draco. Back when Albus was straight he still managed to get absolutely zero bitches.

So here's what I noticed also was sitting in the 4th row of orchestra section so I was really close to the stage.

Act 1

Rose and James hug when the Granger Weasleys arrive.

After Albus leaves for the train Ginny reaches out for Harry's hand and he grabs it. (not that serious but I just adore them)

During the wand dance (didn't notice this the other times I went) Polly whispers "you're an embarrassment" "squib" and "get away" to Albus and when he tries to go to Rose for help quickly she makes a face at him and turns away.

Ginny laughs with James when she sees his hair a mouths "invisibility cloak" with him.

Ginny raises an eyebrow at when he goes with the love potion and blanket then Harry nods at Ginny as he goes to give Albus the blanket and that's when she turns to leave.

Albus sniffing Rose when Scorpius says she smells of bread then shakes his head no.

Scorpius does a little bow after Albus calls him an enormous geek.

When they see the trolley witch Albus grabs Scorpius' hood and tries to pull him back but he also just keeps a constant hold of him until the jumping off part.

When Amos threatens them and Scorpius pulls Albus towards him, Albus holds Scorpius' hand on his shoulder then motions for them to leave.

After Delphi kisses his forehead Amos looked dazed for a bit before he continues.

Draco tears up a bit and covers his mouth after saying Scorpius is his sole heir and only family.

When they're looking at Hogwarts from the edge of the forbidden forest and Scorpius says "...just like Harry Potter. And I got his son." Albus looks down and turns his head from Scorpius

Then when he says the "I'm nothing like my dad" line Scorpius tilts his head to the left and right and then tells him that he's better.

Hermione leans in towards Ron when he keeps repeating love/lovely then catches herself and shakes her head.

Scorpius was reaching a hand out to Albus after the hospital wing scene but quickly pulled back and flinched when Harry said he's all cured.

Scorpius constantly reaching out for Albus during the staircase ballet and Albus looking and waiting for Scorpius first before quickly turning away.

Craig turning around, shaking his head, and shrugging after hearing Albus and Scorpius are in the girls bathroom together. I love a king who minds his business (he definitely wanted to gossip about it with though)

That's all I can remember will post Act 2 later gonna watch hadestown rn
