Jane and Noel are besties in our production and you can't change my mind because look I have some photos of them being besties. Here's reasons why they're besties.

1. Both of them can't say what is going on during What the world needs (lmao what happened to his hands here), but they hate it obviously.

2. Both of them hate Ocean. They're just tired of her Mean girls phase. (actress who plays Ocean in our production is my best friend in real life by the way)

3. Noel helps Jane take on her sunglasses during Mischa's first monologue before This song is awesome (yeah, Jane doesn't know what are sunglasses, but she thinks glass is pretty tasty)

(Ocean is so glad seeing Jane who can't wear her sunglasses help)

4. Rare photo of their cringy dances during This song is awesome

5. Both of them care about Constance so much. I'm crying. They're so happy while dancing to Sugar cloud. Poor children. It's the last time of them being able to be cutest besties...

6. Jane offers Noel to play with her dolly together, but I don't have a photo of this moment although it's really cute(

That's all. Have a random nischa moment, you deserve it.

Been thinking a lot about what @curtmega recently said about people seeing StarKid as a thing from the past but how it very much has a bright future. It's a sentiment I've actually been pondering for awhile, especially with Cinderella's Castle and the fifteenth anniversary.

I've been a fan of StarKid for over 10 years. In that timespan, I don't think there's been a point where everyone involved with the group has been as gung-ho and on board for everything than right now. I assume 2009-2011 might have been somewhat like this as well, because everything was still new and exciting to them and they had a lot of "firsts" as a group in those years. (Also I think there might be a bit more assuredness mixed in nowadays because by this point they know what works and doesn't to an extent.)

This isn't to say there's ever been a time when the overall sentiment was that they didn't want to be there or anything, but from my experiences and what I've heard from other fans and some people involved with the group itself is that for awhile there was some questioning as to how much longer this whole thing would be going on for. There was kind of an assumption that AVPSY was the end from both team and fandom, and from that point on there was this underlying vibe of it sort of being a matter of time until things quietly petered out. The energy from a lot of the team was kind of lower, and there was a lot more uncertainty about the future. I remember a lot of us thought the five year anniversary stuff was gonna function as a sort of finale, then how A Very StarKid Reunion was their last hurrah, etc. (I was also going through a lot at that time, including what I have now had confirmed as depression, and this was when I clung to StarKid as a lifeline of sorts at a time when it wasn't really the best idea to do that. Not that it's ever a great plan to pin all your hopes on an online musical theatre troupe, but the fandom was kind of a ghost town and the future always seemed to be in flux so it wasn't even much of a fun distraction.)

I was thinking the enthusiasm from the team was mainly stemming from the newer members (anyone who joined since the Hatchetfield stuff began) but looking at all the 15 year posts and how all the longtime members get excited about VHS Christmas Carol every year it seems to be an overall rejuvenation. I have a feeling COVID also just made everyone really grateful for theatre because of the uncertainty surrounding that during lockdowns. Regardless, it's just so nice to see everyone so excited. Watching the latest stuff and just seeing the team go above and beyond, whether it be working hard to make the livestreams extra fun (and in some cases, even just actively participating in the livestreams is a major difference from the past), wearing friendship bracelets onstage at StarKid Innit, or just keeping the momentum going by bringing us content and making sure things are running smoothly has been great to see.

I no longer feel worried about StarKid's future, or everyone's passion for the work. Just excitement and anticipation. I get that some fans aren't gonna be into the new stuff for whatever reason, but I hate when they're rude about it or quick to brush it off just BECAUSE it's new; older always seems to = better in people's minds for some reason.
