- coughing improves vocal quality
- can store duplicates of playing cards for future extraction
- ocassionallly filters out the REALLY stupid ideas from being spoken
- can withstand the forces of my cough
let me tell you, “really” is doing a hell of a lot of work there
for context, it did not filter out a musical where every single song is a song from a meme, the villain is sans, and the heroes must go on an adventure to gain the power of the untitled goose to save the world

The best idea we came up with is that the really heartwarming rock ballad where the two leads finally do the special affection-signalling face smash is actually just the Minecraft soundtrack with no singing.

musical kissing is not an everyday concept, it’s not normal, and it shouldn’t be condoned
if you ever find two people kissing in real life while the backing track reaches its’ climax behind them, my reccomended plan is to promptly shoot the guy’s head off because it’s happening at the beginning of the second act and he’s going to be a piece of shit by the end of that act

On the one hand I should sleep
On the other I want to see the culmination of Ici’s wallpost
look I like musicals as much as the next guy, but I can’t be the only one to notice that most of them don’t handle romance very well, because I’ve literally never been invested in a musical romance. of course, me being invested in romance is hard, but it can happen- admittedly only while watching Star Trek, but still.
excuse the ramblings of an aromantic about why romantics can’t actually write love properly, but is romance is never written properly because somehow they don’t need to actually invest you into the concept of the romance between the characters for it to work, and you just accept that those two people could be in love?

they never explain why exactly these two people would want to barter for genetic packages, only saying something like “they have real chemistry together” and then walk away as if that’s a sufficient in-universe explanation for why the two main chracters should want to be in a relationshp with each other.
tl;dr why the fuck can’t the people who actually experience romantic love write it in a way that’s actually… good?

Actual serious question, though: Are normal people seriously just at least slightly invested by default in romance no matter how poorly it’s written?
but seriously what the fuck allosexuals
why do you have to ruin every form of art with pointless romantic subplots

if I never have to read (/watch/etc.) another clichè contrived romance ruining a perfectly good story it will be too soon
I’ve written a lot of stories (and fanfics ) myself, I almost never had any kind of romance in it, sometimes a married couple but that was it

I’m just trying to figure out who exactly the writers are writing for when they do that. i mean… surely studio executives find cliche romance as tiresome as everybody else?
