the way the music is so seamlessly integrated into the plot and is used as part of the plot rather than as a breakaway or an inner monologue like in most musicals is one of the greatest parts of tgwdlm

sewing is one of those skills everyone with the ability should know IMO. i’ve known too many people who just throw out perfectly servicable clothing and bedding because of tears or buttons that have fallen off and these can be fixed at home. sewing’s not hard either. 

sewing, like baking bread, is one of those basic skills that corporations have convinced people is just impossible or too expensive for the average person to do in order to manipulate people into buying things.

i’m not saying sewing is possible for everyone, but if you have motor skills fine enough to, say, replace lead in a mechanical pencil, you can learn to sew, and you can help people who can’t sew. here’s a good guide with gifs.

this is what we mean when we say civilization de-skills us to make us dependent

There are characters you like but then there are characters you end up thinking about in the middle of the night with a cosmic ache in your chest because they resonate with you so much

‘we wish you a merry christmas’ is a pretty good christmas carol - no jesus, no god, just some good wishes that quickly give way to a militant demand for figgy pudding and direct action in the form of a sit down protest

hot take: moms need to learn how to listen to and comfort their daughters without making everything about their own traumas

a classic example

daughter: hey this thing you do bothers me very much and i wish you wouldn’t do it

mom: well my parents abused me and im not even as bad as they were and i had to sit through it so you gotta sit through whatever i do to you too

a common variant

mom: well i’m having a really hard time right now and you know that i’m doing my best and that i didn’t mean to hurt you ergo you are in fact the asshole for asking me to consider your feelings and change my behavior during this hard hard time i’m having

least favorite

mom: fine. you’re right and i’m wrong and i’m a horrible person. there. are you happy now?

mom: you can’t be mad at me. you’re not allowed to be mad at me. i can’t stand it.

The best way to overall explain tgwdlm is that last song where the cast does one big kick line while they all sing and smile together while an actress downstage sobs hysterically

lol our society is so structured on binaries that people think cats are the opposite of dogs

we also regard dogs as “masculine” and cats as “feminine” to the point that it’s “weird” for men to love cats, women and gay men are stereotyped as liking cats, and creepiest of all, cats are stereotyped as “sexy” animals

Im 100% grossed out by this

this fits into my confusion as to why it’s perfectly acceptable to hate cats but blasphemy to hate dogs
