I Would Like To Offer Up Jack Kelly As Apollo Or A Muse Kid

How do I also tell them I’m obsessed with the real historical event that inspired a musical

I hate it when people don’t know what newsies is and I have to tell them I am obsessed with a musical about the 1899 newsboy strike

I hate it even more when that person I had to tell walked up behind me and saw my 6 chapter fanfiction about it

And American psycho 

Reminder to all, Jack Kelly is Batman.

Ok I have too many of these types of stories one is that my great grandmother helped take down the mob so if anyone want to here that story in more detail please tell me but here’s the one so im related to a murder my great aunt father killed her mother and sister and then just kind sat down at the dinner table and then dropped her off at his wife’s sister’s house and and that sister is my grandma’s mother on my dads side a different one from the one who took down the mob oh and I had a gay relative how was killed and they waited to hold the funeral until my grandfathers aunt also died

fathers casually dropping the craziest lore of their lives in the middle of a conversation

For Regulus

for no one

Who here read that as “we are Brookline Newsssies”

Annnddddd the winner for the month of February as the best musical goes too... NEWSIESSSSS

Why is Albert always punching the air in livesies

Ever day she goes to the highest point of Ithaca looking for his ship looking for him

Isn't it freaking adorable how both Odysseus and Penelope could remember down to exact detail what clothing she had packed for Odysseus before he left for war even 20 years later?!

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

And she packed them herself. She didn't use the help of any servant or slave to do it. She wanted to prepare her husband herself. What is even more is that all the clothes were of vibrant colors which had me thinking;

What if Penelope deliberately prepared vibrant colored clothes for Odysseus solely so that she could see him from afar for as long as possible?! And man I can so imagine her doing the same! Like standing on the top of the hill where the palace is, wearing a vibrant dress that floats in the wind, holding baby Telemachus in her arms and watch Odysseus's bright tunic on the ship and Odysseus turning his head to look up at that aetherial figure on the hill almost leaning over the ship to see her JUST FOR A LITTLE LONGER until he cannot see her anymore and this is where he keeps looking at his island becoming smaller and smaller to the horizon, shedding tears of goodbye

🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Man ninjas are cutting onions around me again!!!
