#ricky potts

I’m taking my friends to see Ride The Cyclone tomorrow.

Do I prepare them for “Space Age Bachelor Man” or do I let them go in blind and just see how they react?

sextetmontage:

can we as a society talk more about ricky and jane’s interactions near the end of the show? on the album, karnak says, “how do we know it’s NOT your birthday?” but in the show, it was ricky. ricky gave her a name before she learned hers. can we just . thats so important to me i am in so much pain. they were both unknown in life–overlooked. ricky because he couldn’t really speak and jane because she was (at least implied to be) flat-out ignored. no one knew her and no one could find her family. i feel like we should talk more about this

random thoughts as i listened through ride the cyclone:

• will emily rhoms voice ever not give me chills immediately? (no. the answer is no.)
  
• i’d hoped there’d be more dialogue but I’m not ever gonna complain about this
• it shouldn’t amuse me that the line digging at misha in ‘what the world needs’ has changed so many times, “will smith movie”, “adam sandler movie” and now it’s “transformer movie”
• ditto for the line about ricky and his attention span
• noel my dead gay son i love you so much you dramatic ass bitch
• no real comment on space age bachelor man, it’s good! but eh. never been my favorite.
• “misha bachinski: the angriest boy in town.“ my BOY, my CHILD, the LIGHT OF MY LIFE
  
• i won’t lie i was really really hoping to hear constance’s monologue but fuck if jawbreaker didn’t still get me somewhere deep and make me cry like a baby
• sugar cloud is the biggest fucking bop and no I’m not taking arguments
• ‘it’s not a gamble/it’s just a ride’? fucking chills. the whole way through. unbelievable.
• the balled of jane doe hit me just as hard as i fucking expected
• ‘be safe, be good’ hit me so hard? like holy fucking shit? is this allowed?
• a world inside? what the fuck. I didn’t sign up for this I have. emotions. i thought the emotional rollercoaster (ha) was over
• i’m sorry the censored version of noel’s lament feels so fundamentally Incorrect
• ….i’m still thinking about ‘be good, be safe’. holy shit.
