The monsters guilty musicals

Kevin: Matilda. A child gaining superpowers in order to protect herself against asshole adults in her life and getting a happy ending? Yeh he has no idea why it’s his favourite. But he does like the revolting children song.

Andrew: Hadestown. He fell in love with the set, but he hasn’t told anyone. He watched it illegally on YouTube bc it came up on his feed and he just … adored it. The ending was tragic enough that he had to take Neil on a sunset drive and just let their finger lace. He’s watched it three times since and sometimes just replays certain scenes in his head

Nicky: Wicked. Someone being shunned their whole life for being different, for being just who they are? Yeh Nicky was pulled in with Glindas outfit and the rest just fell into place

Aaron: legally blonde. He watched it with Kaitlyn but he hadn’t seen the movie before hand so he was experiencing all the plot twists for the first time. He was very expressive when it came to the trial. Kaitlyn was snorting behind her hand the whole time.

Neil: heathers. Lols. Yall can find ur own reason. I just know in my gut this is true.

The monsters as certain times of day

[because I can? lmao suck it up]

Neil: dawn, but the cloudy sort of timeless dawn, where one minute it’s night time and then it’s suddenly day, unnoticed by the sleeping masses and only properly appreciated by those who either stayed up all night or those who got up early for a run

Andrew: noon, the sort of bright and all seeing noon where everyone is lowkey grouchy because they want lunch but still have a bit of work to finish, and everyone is hyper aware of everything but doesn’t really care because they just want to EAT

Kevin: midnight, on a clear night but no one is awake to appreciate the stars, a nice time to go into your garden and sit with a hot chocolate if you can’t sleep, or lay in bed and smell the crispiness of the cold night air coming through your window

Nicky: sunset, full of bright colours and a myriad of textures, oranges, reds, pinks and purples, ideal for an evening stroll with a friend who listens to your rants, and once the rant is over, suddenly so is the sunset

Aaron: mid-morning, with the clouds overcast, and a slight patter of rain on the window sill, but you are at the table doing work in a warm jumper with a pot of tea, and your pen is working perfectly, and there is promise of a sunny afternoon peeping over the horizon
