  my favorite interpretation of noel isnt that hes really &quot;the most romantic boy in town&quot; but that hes obessesed with romanticism itself. the crazy heightened emotions, intense love stories, tragic endings, that kind of story. he wanted a far more interesting life than the one he got.

  I always thought this song gave alot of possible insight into Noel himself.<br>Either: <br>1) so desperate for love and connection (as the only gay guy), that he creates a fantasy where people essentially chase him specifically for that love.<br>2) He is the &quot;most romantic boy in town&quot;, with the romanticism movement of that time period and the romanticism associated with that lifestyle in the movies he watches<br>3) His mother told him to &quot;blend in&quot;, possibly creating an internal homophobia or shame of his identity, so he imagines himself as a woman who could entice as many guys as she wanted.<br>4) even simply a desire for the most intense, dramatic lifestyle he can think of (even down to the death) as he grew up in a very mellow &quot;live and die here&quot; small town.<br>Etc

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ngiunsdd95M&amp;t=944">15:44</a> I get it’s very strange but as a little explanation this was karnak’s words at the start “tonight I give them a chance to express not what they were perceived to be, but what they dreamed they were”

  Fun fact! Noel&apos;s Lament and the Ballad of Jane Doe are foils! Noel&apos;s Lament is a ballad and Jane Doe is a lament! I believe this is true as I LOVE THESE SONGS

  Mortius’s “gay food court” lore may be my favorite bit of YouTuber lore I’ve ever come across

  Come on Mortius, don&apos;t you recognize a theatre gay in a small town making up drama to spice up their otherwise monotone life? Noel doesn&apos;t actually want this specific fantasy, he just wants an exciting life where he can be himself and feel unapologetically.
