apart from all the shit she’s done, it’s slightly weird having a 61 yr old play someone in their thirties even if it’s to evoke nostalgia

i still regularly think about the production of n2n i saw in Odense (Denmark) and how great some of the translations were.
when diana and gabe are talking about natalie and henry before i miss the mountains diana says; hvorfor har jeg ikke lagt mærke til det? meaning why didn’t i notice that, similar to the original line; how did i miss this
and then gabe answers: du mærker ikke så meget for tiden. and ‘mærker’ has two meanings one of them being notice as for diana’s line, and the other being feel as for gabe’s line that translates to you don’t feel much at the moment.
i love the gabe’s original line with well you kinda miss a lot, which also holds a devastating double meaning, but you don’t feel much at the moment hits so hard.
just thought i would share:)
Shauna making Natalie butcher Ben because she wants so badly for someone to understand the burden she has had to shoulder since the very beginning, the burden of being the butcher, of experiencing loss, but being too blind to see that Nat already understands her better than anyone else ever could. For every animal Shauna butchered, Natalie pulled the trigger, for every life she had spread out on her table, Natalie was the spearhead, ending things. Shauna bore the guilt for Jackie’s death, and Nat put her bones to rest. Nat bore the guilt for Javi’s death, and Shauna prepared him for consumption. Neither of them have ever been afforded the luxury of not doing what needed to be done, or of looking away. Natalie now knows what it’s like to be the butcher. And Shauna will now know Natalie’s burden of being the leader

Sometimes it is your fault.. Sometimes you don’t listen well enough, you’re selfish, you’re rude and you aren’t always right. Sometimes you fucked it up and tbh that’s okay. It happens, learn from it, apologize and keep it moving. Just because you fucked up doesn’t mean you’re a bad person. Don’t dwell on it
i was already sobbing 30 seconds in and then they hit me with this shot i'm going to be sick
if you know how i feel why would you show me that 💔

There’s something about the focus on Gabe (in both productions) in the fandom to the point it overshadows everyone else + the focus on Gabe in the story overshadowing everyone in Diana’s life. I love Gabe too but you have to admit it’s ironic 😭
