Starkid Twisted - Tumblr Posts
I had to explain today why this is my phone lock screen lol
I absolutely adore the visual of a sleep deprived Pump peeking into the living room while Roy & Susie are passionately singing along to Twisted. (You can't tell me they wouldn't adore Twisted)
On the topic of secret endings, it pisses me off that no one cares that, in the photo on John's cork board, Roy's uncle is holding an award that looks kind of like and Emmy (hope I spelled that right), which confirms to me that Roy's family are in show business.
Yeah I remember that reward! I low-key didn't think about it being show business, my thoughts basically stopped at "Huh this dude who's a disgusting evil monster also seems to be well accomplished and charismatic, guess that fits with the rest of Roy's family"
Now that I think about it I love the idea of Roy's family being like, rich snobby theatre people or whatever, that's awesome
They literally predicted the plot of Twisted, as a Starkid fan and a fan of childhood antics being recounted and becoming memes, this may be one of my favorite non-fandom posts ever.
i love in fantasy when its like “king galamir the mighty golden eagle and his most trusted advisor who would never betray him, gruelworm bloodeye the treacherous”
Helluva Rewritten Musical
I may not talk about it much here, but I am a massive fan of Team Starkid, there musical's make up basically my entire top 10 list and ever since I discovered them through Twisted I thought about the prospect of chipping away at an idea for a musical of my own.
However, it wouldn't be until recently, after several asks exchanged between myself and @pinkandpurple360 that it would occur to me how perfect HB could be if reimagined as a musical, or rather a series of musicals.
It all started with the simple idea of a stage adaptation that would use Stolas as the villain he was originally conceptualized as, with a focus on the episodes involving his affair, rewriting most of them to adapt the story to the plot shift and to make the production flow better.
Now, this is, at present, a purely hypothetical venture, an elaborate writing exercise being done by someone whose writing experience extends to a private, skit-based homage to British comedies from the turn of the millennium. (There is a non-zero chance I will refine that into something more substantial in the future) However, I would like to eventually realize HRM as an actual stage show.
For now, I'll be posting about individual aspects of it that I've thought about and discussed with others so far. If you're interested in what ideas have been developed so far, I suggest you start with these threads: one , two
Beyond that, I'm am more than willing to answer asks pertaining to the project, so if you have a specific thing you'd like clarified feel free to ask away!
If I believed from Twisted:The untold story of a royal vizier fits John I think
An excerpt from the song-
'Science says you're dead and gone forever
Reason says I'm talking to the air
But something in my heart
Some secret hidden part
Illogically insists that you are there
Somewhere'
