you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me
The one reason this is a yes from me is because she was able to pull the trigger on pete. She’s able to do what has to be done.

Jason Jepson is literally everything the fandom wants Max to be (kind of dumb, gets redeemed and turns out to be actually really sweet, cares a lot about his friends, makes up with the nerds he bullied, hell he even likes Grace). But yet the fandom still favours Max more. I wonder why that is! Hmmm, I wonder what the difference between these two could be!
I’m sorry, I may just be a bit oblivious but I don’t actually get what you’re trying to imply here 😅 especially because in my mind these are two very different characters.
Mainly because from point one it’s obvious Jason doesn’t want to be doing the things he’s doing which contrasts with max who seems to revel in it and so has a much more stark difference between his terrible behavior and his redemption.
I think it should also be mentioned that (imo) Jason isn’t really a character who gets “redeemed”. (Hear me out!) From my understanding redemption is when you do something truly truly bad, make up for it, and learn to be a better person. Jason barely fulfills the truly bad thing by hanging with max and doing his bidding (but as I said above he doesn’t want to be doing any of it in the first place) but his “redemption” is a bit overshadowed by the fact that he tells Richie that if max ever came back he’d go right back to bullying. Now even though max’s redemption is also overshadowed by a return to his evil doings I think it’s really important to mention that Jason just randomly says he’d return to bullying if max ever came back. Whereas max has a more character reason to make his decent back into evil (mainly getting hurt, and pissing his pants. Which are both embarrassing things and we know he has a problem with his dad humiliating him)
In your tags you mentioned that you didn’t think screen time had to do with this, but I actually think it does. And the reason I think this is because of Kyle. Now idk about anyone else but I often don’t remember much about this character. (I had to look up his name just now.) and to me that’s because he hardly does anything in the show. So it would make sense to me if Jason, who is in the show less than max but more than Kyle, would get less attention from the fandom than max, but more than Kyle. And while I know that people love taking random background characters and making them the fandom favorite. I don’t actually think that Jason really fulfills what a typical fandom wants to see which is mainly toxic sad boys. (Which Jason is not imo. Other than the whole “we’re gonna return to bullying” he’s pretty healthy and happy)
I’m sure there are more in depth reasons but that’s the one that came up to me.
Sorry, not trying to be rude or anything. Just kinda hoping to start a conversation because I’m really curious about this topic! 😊
(edit: I looked back at your tags and saw that this is about race, which is totally fair. I’m not going to claim that isn’t what’s happening here since I haven’t really looked at the fandom from that point of view. Feel free to disregard this entire reblog 😝)

“Strange… When I picture her in my mind I see naught but fire and starlight…”
Omg I just realized!!
Ella still got her first wish!
Think of it this way: the crowdfunding is all for the show. It’s to buy props, and set pieces, and costumes, and even to reserve the venue, and stuff like that.
The digital ticket is for the actors. This pays the actors for their time and effort, so that they can keep a roof over their head and food on the table and so that they want to come back to do more shows in the future.
They can’t use crowdfunded money to pay the actors because they need as much of it for the show as possible. Not only for cool props and stuff but also for if anything breaks, or if there’s any other last minute things they need to worry about.
If starkid put their stuff straight into YouTube without doing things like digital ticketing they would start losing money fast, and future shows would be harder to create.
I know it’s hard, but have faith that these guys aren’t just putting up paywalls for no good reason :)
Just in case anyone was hoping to watch Star Baby on the 8th without a digital ticket, you can't <33
Immediately bought the new VHSCCs album cause I’m obsessed with the new version. Ngl I kinda wish they’d release a version with A.J. As Scrooge cause I like to make playlists that have the same songs different singers side by side, but beggars can’t be choosers so I’m going to be blasting this playlist until new years.
I forgot to post this back when they were delivered, but ohmygod look at these!!! I can’t wait to try to find a spot on the walls to put that massive map lmao
Aww why can’t we share? How about this, I’ll buy every doll in the shop. On weekdays they’ll be mine, and on weekends you can look at one for five seconds through the front window of my house! Seems like an fair trade off!
Happy Black Friday everyone! Just a quick reminder that if you see a little green doll that resembles an under water creature from out of this world, to leave it on shelves! For me. Because that doll will be FUCKING MINE.
Every now and then I’m absolutely baffled by actors and what they can do.
Especially starkid actors.
Like, you’re telling me that:
This is a set of three people who are not related to each other???
This is voiced by a guy with a mic off stage???
This woman isn’t having the most horrifying day of her life?????
You’re telling me this is not a pipe??
Thank you but I don’t believe it
I’m literally going on a trip starting on the 16th!! I’m gonna be in the car the whole time T^T how am I gonna live knowing everyone’s watching tbe digital ticket and I’m not???
So has anyone considered a Hadestown AU with Steph as Orpheus and Pete as Euridyce
I will honestly never get over this
Full spoilers review of Cinderella’s castle
Ok so now that I’ve had some time to ruminate, I really want to share my thoughts on Cinderella’s castle
First of all, I think the song that has stuck with me the most was “I want you to watch” (I’m pretty sure that’s the name) I think it stuck with me so much because of the insane vibes. It was such a banger song, played to the chorus of Cinderella being tortured to death. The song was so haunting and insane. And just that one line “I want you to watch” has been stuck in my head all night.
That being said I wish we had access to the cast recording because I already miss the rest of the songs. Like I remember the song about starlight being so beautiful but I can’t even remember it (Cinderella moment amiright)
In terms of costuming it was the sort of thing that felt like it worked so well you didn’t notice it until suddenly Cinderella came out in her Led starlight dress and suddenly it hits you how amazingly accurate all of the clothing has been.
The actors were all amazing. Idk if there’s more to say than that. Everyone slayed, and Jeff was serving cvnt the entire time.
The characters were absolutely amazing. I feel like Nick lang looked at the moment from NPMD, where Richie says “I love being alive” and the audience started crying, and just made a whole play about it. There were so many immediately beloved characters that died (some brought back thank goodness) that the audience were sobbing about loosing.
Honestly I think the show is amazing. I can’t wait for the digital ticket and if I had more money I’d probably go see it again.
Oh also I saw Curt Mega before the show and all of my friends missed him except my mom. I was shaking so hard just from him walking past us. It was nuts
Omg ok, just saw the show and it was amazing!!! The songs were magnificent and the acting was top notch. I loved how electric the audience was, they were so responsive and it made every reaction I had feel justified. I have so many thoughts but mostly I’m just glad to be able to unblock all of the spoiler tags.
Looks like I’m gonna be “studying” hard tonight

No, you’re NOT a real theatre kid. I’m so sick of all these people that think they’re theatre kids. No, you’re not. Most of you are not even close to being theatre kids. I see these people saying “I listened to this musical over 100 times, it’s great!” that’s nothing, most of us can easily listen to all our musicals 300+ times. I see people who only know Lin Manuel Miranda and claim to be theatre kids. Come talk to me when you‘ve listened to a single Sondheim piece and we can be friends. Also DEAR ALL TUMBLR USERS: The Greatest Showman is not a real musical. Mean Girls is not a real musical. Dear Evan Hansen is not a real musical. Be More Chill is not a real musical. Six is not a real musical. Jukebox musicals are NOT.REAL.MUSICALS. put down the baby shows and listen to something that requires challenge and thought for once. Sincerely, all of the ACTUAL theatre kids.

My brother says he wants to relive being 8 and we’re at the dinosaur exhibit but when he was 8 I had a Dinosaur hyperfixation! So now I’m saying dinosaur facts to the tune of Starkid songs.
