The image of HCA following Dickens around like Chester following Spike in a Merrie Melodies short just makes me double over laughing and awing at Hans puppy crush and Dickens annoyance. If you’re not sure what my reference is, the link is here: https://youtu.be/Oj_cP2Y5aos (also titled Looney tunes spike and Chester. The first few seconds says it all.)
Wow. I mean, wow. I have never heard this story before. I dislike Dickens, and I’m not a big fan of HCA, but the thought of them together as bros? Wow. I mean, the paper doll bit was just exquisite. I feel like this whole thing should be a book. Can you imagine the movie? This should at least be a new Doctor Who episode (they’ve done Dickens once, why not revisit it?). You know, this is the kind of story that I obsess over because it’s just so weird. Thank you so much for sharing!

Also, I adore the hadestown reference.
