sometimes I remember that preston max allen tweet that’s like “well at least in MY musical, the teenager actually faces consequences for her actions” (vagueing dear evan hansen) and it’s like. well yeah riley did kill two people so

#original post #dear evan hansen #we are the tigers #don’t ask me why I’m in my defending deh arc again. i don’t know #(to be clear when I say ‘defending’ I don’t mean ‘I think it’s the best ever and has no flaws and doesn’t ever do harm’)#(I mean ‘I think most criticisms of this musical have to do with people not really understanding what the creators wanted to convey and #what Evan’s intentions were.’ or ‘most people who hate it don’t know it very well’)#anyway I don’t remember the part of deh where Evan literally murdered two people. premeditated and everything #though now that I think about it #i feel like Evan’s actions would be more comparable to Cairo’s? instead of riley’s?#cause both constructed false narratives that harmed others (even if they didn’t directly intend to cause harm)#and they did it for selfish reasons #like Cairo framing maddy (is that her name??? i forget sorry)#and Evan lying about being Connor’s friend #still two completely different situations but like I feel like the crime is comparable? the crime being. well lying #and iirc…Cairo didn’t face consequences? she kinda got rewarded?#cause she became the next cheer captain right?#anyway. this post brought to you by [censored reasons why im in my hater arc]#and the fact that I like to listen to my Spotify liked songs on shuffle and watt songs keep coming up lol
