This is what it’s like inside the mind of a gay person
Video description - A clip from the live performance of Jacksonville from Illinoise: A New Musical. A whole ensemble is dancing on stage to a band’s music. You didn’t notice them sneak up because of the expert stage direction and choreography they practiced!! You’re suddenly surrounded by music and a huge group rocking the fuck out to indie music from the early two thousands, but the lyrics are referencing events from hundreds of years ago. It’s one of the signs from the writer that places the story in a contemporary context. Suddenly you realize music is timeless and so on…

From a few days ago - Homestar's trip to Chicago! I brought him along to the windy city to see the TMBG concert there! It was an awesome time (except for the fact that everywhere we wanted to go was closed except Jolibees. Lol)
Oh and here's a video of my terrible Homestar impression
This video + a lot of these photos were taken by my brother so shout out to him!
#homestar runner#h*r#if you saw me at the concert pretend I look like a boy please#ive only been to Chicago 2 or 3 times in my life despite living somewhat close to it so it was really fun!#plus it was my first TMBG concert (and 2nd concert ever) and it was so fun getting to see my favorite band#plus they focused on my favorite album!! (apollo 18)#I also had my Marzipan and Edgestar cutouts with me! except Edgestar got lost at some point. RIP to my son. again.#chicago#illinois#so many cornfields in that state. its unbelievable#tmbg#they might be giants#I have SO many videos of the concert. it was amazing I sang like almost every song and I was loving it#I wanna go to another so bad!! one day

Illinoise (the ballet/musical based on Sufjan Stevens' album Illinois) is eying a move to Broadway after its current NY run in Armory Park ends and im just imagining it taking off among the bway Fandom because 1 it's fucking amazing 2 it's gay and sad and will make you cry (but doesn't bury its gays) 3 the characters are broad enough that fanon can do literally whatever it wants with them
But then we'd have a whole Fandom obsessed with esoteric Illinois history which would be so fucking funny.
#If you're in NY and have a chance go fucking see it it's so good#When I say the characters are broad there's no dialogue in the show just the lyrics on the album#So we get the characters intense emotions and relationships but literally no facts about them#So everyone can just go “Carl is autistic” and there's no evidence to really support or contradict iy#I just want them to record a soundtrack of their arrangements and vocalists because they were gorgeous#Sufjan Stevens#Illinois#Illinoise#Come on feel the Illinoise#Broadway#Broadway Fandom#post o' mine

#the sufjan album was probably illinois cause he was talking about filming little miss sunshine#and he said he and the cast went to sufjan's concert#and he mentioned tony kushner cause he co-wrote the fabelmans with steven spielberg#if u even care#paul dano

You came to take us
All things go, all things go
To recreate us
All things grow, all things grow
We had our mindset
All things know, all things know
You had to find it
All things go, all things go
