‘the dress. you’ll have to put on another one before meeting the children’ ‘when we enter the abbey our worldly clothes are given to the poor’ ‘what about this one?’ ‘the poor didn’t want this one’
all seven children bursting into tears at dinner while Maria sips her tea
‘God bless whats his name’ (ten minutes later) ‘KURT! that’s the one I left out! God bless Kurt.’
maria passive aggressively praying about Liesl as she climbs through the window
tbh Captain Von Trapp dragging everyone around him at every possible moment like
‘you flatter me captain’ ‘oh I’m sorry, I meant to accuse you’ *AIR HORN SOUNDS*
‘I’m not finished yet!’ ‘OH YES YOU ARE, CAPTAIN.’ … ‘FRAULEIN’
liesl rolling her eyes at kurt during the blueberry/strawberry scene
honestly the love story I didn’t quite get as a kid but I’m SHOOK
when the baroness is trying to get the captain back on track but he just interrupts her and is like ‘there’s no use’
BUT WHEN THE BARONESS SAYS ‘well, she’ll never be a nun’ the look of SHOCK on his face like it honestly never occurred to him that Maria was in love with him too
so of course hes like ‘I must find her and kiss her immediately’
Von Trapp ripping the nazi flag in half like YES BINCH
THE MOST UNDERRATED SCENE THOUGH IS AFTER THE NAZIS RUN TO THEIR CARS TO CHASE THE VON TRAPPS AND THE SCENE SWITCHES TO THE TWO NUNS
‘reverend mother, I have sinned’ ‘I too, reverend mother’ *they both hold up coils from the nazi’s cars*
last night i had a dream that my college was adding a minor in Gnome Studies, and it…actually sounded really cool
okay so this is how the Gnome Studies minor worked in my dream, if i’m recalling correctly: there were five classes you had to take, and each one corresponded to a letter in the word “gnome” (though the material really doesn’t match a letter at all):
G – the class you had to take as a prerequisite. introduction to gnomes in general—what is a gnome? what are their origins?
(all the other classes you could take in whatever order you wanted)
N – a sociological look at gnomes. specifically i remember this dealing with the question of, like, why blue-collar/working-class families tend to place garden gnomes in their yards while white-collar/upper-middle class people view them as tacky (yes that actually is a real thing), and what gnomes’ presence or lack thereof can teach us about real and perceived class divides
O – gnomes from a gender and women’s studies perspective. in what ways do gnomes and gnomish figures queer the gender binary as it exists today? why are so many gender non-conforming people fascinated with gnomes? can gnomes’ radical ugliness help us to brush past society’s problem with superficial beauty?
M – gnomes in literature and mythology. not only is this class a deeper look at the History of Gnomes, but it also forces us to ask questions about timely issues facing our society today: why have gnomes endured in western media for so long? what is it about the gnome that somehow brings us back to it again year after year? what does the gnome symbolize in our collective consciousness?
E – unfortunately i woke up before finding out what this one was. if i had to guess, though, it’d be memetic uses of gnomes; why “gnome” has become such a weird internet punchline recently, why “gnomeo and juliet” and “sherlock gnomes” exist, what about the word “gnome” brings us such delight in these troubled times, etc.
