My Exact Reaction, This Song Is Crazy

gay.

Another favourite is OBVIOUSLY scorbus which is the ship between Scorpius Malfoy and Albus Severus Potter

In their original 2 parter versions they were written as best friends and Scorpius ended the show by asking Rose out, however when the 1 parter was released this was changed and it has since been changed in the 2 parter as well. Some people still aren’t aware that scorose is no longer canon and scorbus now is.

Along with removing scorose they also made several other changes to make Scorpius and Albus’ relationship less platonic since actors and fans had been asking for years.

Scorpius is nerdy, sweet and goofy. He loves sweets and homework and is thrilled when he’s compared to Hermione Granger. Just like his father, Draco Malfoy, he has platinum hair, grey eyes and a pointed chin. He also has his fathers nose.

Albus is the second son of Ginny and Harry as well as the middle child. He is the only Slytherin in his Gryffindor family. He hates quidditch, Hogsmeade, Hogwarts, Hogwarts Students and, according to everyone else, Gryffindor. Albus has a rough relationship with his older brother, his father, his cousin and all his classmates except Scorpius. He also tends to struggle in school. He’s described to look about as much like Harry as Scorpius looks like Draco. Back when Albus was straight he still managed to get absolutely zero bitches.

This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen

They are so important to me. Also whoever said Aiden close is the biblically accurate Scorpius…….i have never agreed with anything more in my life.

Someone cooked here….

byler: laying the pipework

another reminder that years ago (i believe around 2017), david harbour spoke about easter eggs in season 1 that we won't fully understand until season 4, and that they refer to a "beautiful story that we've been seeing this whole time."

and that after season 4 dropped, noah said that it was pretty clear will had feelings for mike and that they've been INTENTIONALLY hinting at that (laying the pipework) since season 1 (which, might i add, could only really be referring to mike as will is BARELY IN season 1 -- a season that focuses on mike's drive to find will and his devastation at potentially losing him)

what else has been built up since season 1/hinted at? i'd say the only realistic thing is the vecna/eleven backstory, but that is in no way a "beautiful" story as David suggests. in fact, that is a story of manipulation and trauma for eleven and potentially other characters. it definitely doesn't fit into the way both David and noah have characterized things that have been "laying the pipework" for the "beautiful" ending of season 5.

additionally, keep in mind that finn has said he really wants will to have a happy ending, and that he thinks he WILL have one.

all of these comments put together, combined with the way the ending of season 4 has mike and will attached at the hip and promising to kill vecna TOGETHER has huge implications for not just their romantic relationship, but also their relationship being something that will tie together the show's ending entirely.

even matt and ross duffer have said something similar

in sum, all of this together with mike and will/finn and noah filming together CONSTANTLY....well, I'll let you connect the dots.

One of the cast members of the tour posting this on their story. Can’t believe we get more and more scorbus canon proof as the days go by.

This picture means so much to me

Hey yall has anyone seen cursed child in Chicago yet?? I need to know if our scorbus is good. Im seeing the show in March but I can’t wait that long 😭

Staircase Ballet ("Half Life" by Imogen Heap)

Turn your sound on, I promise it's worth it :)

the lovely @bawbawbridgie kindly informed me that all of the songs in the score are songs written by Imogen Heap. she also noticed that that most of the lyrics fit the scenes they belong to. so here's a little edit I made and some things that make me go feral about this sequence :)

everytime i listen to this i imagine the lyrics are Scorpius' thoughts

the NAMES. Staircase Ballet. they are literally dancing around each other, separated but remaining in each other's orbit. Half Life. they feel incomplete without the other. they've lived the last several years at school, practically inseparable, and now they forbidden from even being near each other

Scorpius' devastated confusion. it's the same expression he wears when he confesses "Sometimes I wonder if they're right. If I am the son of Voldemort." he's so tired that part of him wonders if it's him that wrong

the lyrics "the stickler is you played not one beat wrong, you never promised me anything" - i'm imagining Scorpius, not yet out, hanging onto whatever he can. he doesn't imagine that Albus returns his feelings, but he loves him so much that he'll bear anything to be with him in any capacity

the PINING

"there may well be others, but i still like to pretend, that i'm the one you really want to grow old with"

"will you ever slow down, will i ever come first?" - thinking of this as a precursor to the "Try my life" speech in the library

THE WHOLE TIME NEAR THE END WHEN THEY'RE INCHES APART, THE LYRICS ARE A REAPEATED "HOLD ME"

the pining and agony of "you know you'll never be lonely, you know you'll always be loved, and maybe you never need more than that"

poor Scorpius, whose only family is his father (i have a headcannon that he's disowned the blood maniacs he's related to) wishes he had a family as large and tight-knit as the Potter-Weasley-Granger clan

(thinking about the library speech again) even when everything else is horrible, Albus has people who love him

"maybe you never need more than that" - my translation: "Maybe you don't need me." Scorpius loves him despite the overwhelming belief that Albus will never love him back in the same way, and he can't help it

"but for the surplus that loves, what's to become of us? does it even register on your conscience?" is the lyrical equivalent of the library monologue's "Can you imagine what that's like? Have you ever even tried?"

the use of the word "surplus," as though Scorpius' love for Albus is an unneeded, unrequited excess

This has been on my mind since 2022.
