Just got done watching the remount and can we talk about how fucking TRANSCENDENT this moment was???
Everyone talks about Paul’s musical torture time loop but EMMA
She arguably has it the worst because not only is she the final survivor and has to watch everyone else die but she is the only one who realizes that she is LITERALLY trapped in a musical. At least the others had the dignity of thinking they died in an actual alien/zombie apocalypse. She sees how nobody is going to help her because all her suffering is literally just entertainment for us
And the way she screams into the spotlight and it is drowned out by the music gives me literal chills omg I rewatched it like 18 times it’s sooooo good
And the way she begs the audience for help during bows… Inevitable was already the best song but this remount made it a million times better
I was gunna put this in the tags but it’s a lot. When i first started going through the process of getting a diagnosis, i was labelled with ODD. I immediately took issue with this, it seemed like an unfair diagnosis based entirely on the session the psychiatrist had with my parents (which mostly consisted of “my child is being really difficult on purpose”), and Hoo Boy when i tell you ODD immediately strips you of your ability to call out anyone on anything, that would be an understatement. I couldn’t even disagree or bring up my concerns about the validity of MY OWN DIAGNOSIS without it being labelled as oppositional defiance. Whenever i displayed any negative emotion the “treatments” did so much more harm than good. When you label someone as ‘defiant’ (ugh), when that word is put on their medical record, that person is never allowed to complain about anything again. Knowing that POC are disproportionately affected with this diagnosis makes me feel sick, i can only imagine what’s being swept under the rug as someone just being “defiant to authority”, not even just in the medical field but as justification for police brutality and mass incarceration. When i say medical racism kills people, this is what i mean.
