Jack Kelly: We have had a lot of people come through our doors over the past 11 years at Tin Pan Alley. Last night is one to remember for life. After Darren Criss did a two hour show at town hall last night. Over an hour with the folks that paid for a meet and greet with him. He came to Tin Pan Alley and asked “ can I play a set when the piano player is finished“ He played a full hour. Don’t get me going on his wife Mia Criss. Two of the kindest humble people. Thank you both. Can’t wait to see you again soon.

An ask meme / sentence starters based on lyrics from some songs I really like for this time of year!

The “//” means the other part is OPTIONAL! You can add that or make it it’s own thing entirely!

Under the Cut since there’s going to be quite a few...

► Cold December Night — Michael Bublé

With a heart on board so please be careful

Each year I ask for many different things

But now I know what my heart wants you to bring

So please just fall in love with me // this Christmas

I want something that lasts forever

So kiss me on this cold December night

Let's cozy on up by a fireplace

Dim those Christmas lights

I'm here, I'm yours for the taking

'Cause I don't wanna be alone tonight

► Beautiful Christmas — Big Time Rush

We'll decorate the halls with love and cheer

Under the mistletoe, Oh I've been waiting all year

As long as I got you here

► Baby, It’s Cold Outside — Michael Bublé & Idina Menzel

I really can't stay

This evening has been so very nice

I wish I knew how to break this spell

Mind if I move in closer?

You're very pushy, you know

I'd like to think of it as opportunistic

Gosh, your lips look delicious

But maybe just another dance more

Never such a blizzard before

You've really been grand but don't you see?

There's bound to be talk tomorrow

► Last Christmas — Ariana Grande’s Ver.

I hate that I remember

You left my heart a mess

But the very next day, you gave it away

I'll give it to someone special

Thought we belong together

I should have known better

You broke my heart with no warnin'

► All I want for Christmas is You — Michael Bublé’s Ver.

You broke my heart with no warnin'

I just want you for my own // more than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

No, I'm just gonna keep on waiting // underneath the mistletoe

I just want you here tonight // Holding on to me so tight

► Santa Tell Me — Ariana Grande

Don't make me fall in love again // if he won't be here next year

I'm trying to play it cool

It's hard to focus when I see [him/her/you] walking 'cross the room

I won't get in the mood

I'm avoiding every mistletoe // until I know it's true love that [he/she/you] think of

I've been down this road before

Fell in love on Christmas night

I woke up and [he/she/you] [wasn't/weren’t] by my side

Now I need someone to hold

it's hard to tell if this is just a fling or if it's true love

► Like It’s Christmas — Jonas Brothers

This is what it's all about

But as long as you're with me // It's always that time of the year

I can't deny what I'm feelin' inside

Nothin' fake about the way you bring me to life

Everyday that I'm with you

► This Christmas — China Anne McClain Ver.

I'm gonna get to know you better

How much fun it's gonna be together

Your eyes outshine the town, they do

► The Man With The Bag — Darren Criss ft. Adam Lambert Ver.

You're alright? Just alright? // Whaddya mean alright?

I just don't know how much longer I can wait

Hey, if it makes you feel any better

► Mistletoe — Justin Bieber

I'ma be under the mistletoe

I can't stop staring at your face

The way I followed my heart // And it led me to a miracle

'Cause I am feeling one thing // your lips on my lips

Kiss me underneath the mistletoe

Show me, baby, that you love me so

► Sleigh Ride — Meghan Trainor Ver.

it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Our cheeks are nice and rosy // and comfy cozy are we

We're snuggled up together // likе two birds of a feather would be

► I Don’t Wanna Spend Another Christmas Without You — The Ready Set

I have you on my mind

I wish you could be here tonight

So I could kiss you

So I could hold you one more time

All the signs seem to point in your direction all the time

I wish I could see you again

Because I never know // when you will be here with me

CHARACTER INFORMATION

face claim: Darren Criss

full name: Jamie Christopher Mariadaga-Evans

nickname(s): J, Miko (close family)

pronouns & gender: he/him & cisman

sexuality: bisexual

birth date: October 27, 1989

birth place: San Francisco, CA

time in town: six years

housing: Historical Downtown District

occupation: Registered Nurse

family: none

personality: He can be a bit shy at first, but usually easily warms up to people. Close friends will always know him for being supportive and loyal, even if there are times where he’s a little stubborn.

BACKGROUND / BIO

Jamie was born in San Francisco, California, to a military man and a stay-at-home mom. his childhood was pretty typical, and the kids were involved in all sort of extra curriculars at school. come high school, he was involved in a lot, including the school plays, played lacrosse, did science club, advanced classes. He found that he loved science and decided to pursue that as a project going into his senior year of high school.

It looked easy from an outsider’s point of view, but the family didn’t reveal their struggles openly, even to their children. they just heard it from down the hall. Rather, Jamie did, being the youngest at the time, where his older siblings had already left for college. His picture perfect family was on the verge of slowly tearing apart. It would only be so long before that happened. And the next thing he knew, his dad was getting remarried, and he’d have a step-mom and two younger step-siblings.

Shortly after the wedding, he left for college to study nursing at UCLA. It was a tough program, but he had made a lot of friends in school, as home life had been getting him down. Even with the heavy workload, he managed, doing his best to keep his grades up to stay in the program. The motivation was that he could somehow make a difference. At least in L.A., he had a bit more freedom to have some fun when he wasn’t studying or working. Being about 45 minutes away from Disney? Not bad. Still. he really missed his mom, who had moved closer to her side of the family across the country shortly after the divorce, while he had stayed in California for college.

During his years at UCLA, he met someone who ended up being his first serious boyfriend. It felt like a brand new relationship for a while, until he realized the guy had been cheating on him. That hit him harder than how it felt going through family drama, but he had to act fast. His grades had started to slip, and without that high GPA, he was out of the program. But after a little more soul searching, he was back on his feet and finally graduated.

After graduation, he went to Maine to live closer to his mom and her side of the family, where he took his first job after graduating nursing school, and was reunited with a friend he had made in Los Angeles and has lived there since.

Yellow 💛

Thank you so much gorgeous! I love this question, even though it's very difficult to answer because there are so many artists and styles of music that I really adore and that I think are very underappreciated. To briefly name off a few: Logan Smith, The Cab, Set it Off.

I could stop there, but I think there are some particular songs that could do with more love and attention—and oh my god what have you started, I'm about to waffle on about music again! Haha.

I've already mentioned to you RIOPY's I Love You, so I won't go into too much detail, but I cannot begin to express how much I love this piece, it's gorgeous in every which way. Similarly, I think one of my favourite piano pieces right now is A Heart Made of Yarn by Franz Gordon, I discovered it in May some time and I'm still in love with it. Honestly, I think I need to put together a playlist on Spotify of my favourite instrumental works because the list is steadily growing.

Now some songs from a musical I love.

Wicked Little Town and Midnight Radio from Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

The amount of love I have for this musical is monumental, and these two songs in particular always make me feel a whirlwind of emotions, and every time I see a live recording of these songs being performed I get goosebumps and tear up all the time. I want to give a special mention to Darren Criss' performance of (well, every song really, he was phenomenal) but in particular his version of Wicked Little Town Reprise and Midnight Radio is my favourite. Also special shout out to Lena Hall who is incredible as well.

Rapid fire round because I don't want to continue boring everyone with me rattling on.

Vegas Skies by the Cab — I could have a whole new post detailing every which reason why I am in love with this song. Listen to it, it's gorgeous.

I see the Light from Tangled — No one at all should be surprised, but this movie in general is underrated and is one of my favourite Disney songs.

Miss Mysterious by Set it Off — The ending of this song gives me chills and has always been very dear to my heart. The drums that kick in in the second verse, his voice... It's masterful, and it's probably one of my favourite songs to play on the piano.

Not Alone by Darren Criss (Starkid Homecoming Version) — Probably not as underrated in the HP community for those who remember the Potter musicals, but this live version in particular is phenomenal and one of my favourite live versions of this song. The accompanying band is glorious.

When you asked this question, I'm pretty sure you expected a pretty short answer, but I couldn't help myself. I get too excited when sharing music lmao, but you already know that. Hopefully there's something you like in here. xx

Sense8

Sense8, the Netflix science fiction series about eight strangers with a psychic connection to each other, traveled around the globe in its fight against the nefarious Biologic Preservation Organization and the diabolical villain Whispers. But beyond the dazzling cinematography and action sequences was a simple message: Humans, regardless of their race, ethnicity, language, sexual orientation, and gender identity, are interconnected. Created by the Wachowski siblings, the show had a diverse cast including several LGBTQ performers, such as Jamie Clayton and Brian J. Smith, who recently came out as gay. A dazzling scene at São Paulo Pride also featured a game-changing kiss between a closeted actor, Lito Rodriguez (Miguel Ángel Silvestre) and his partner Hernando (Alfonso Herrera), which delivered an empowering message to the streaming universe about the power of love and visibility. As did the infamous orgy scenes!

~~~~~~~~~~

Looking

Created by Michael Lannon, Looking took the torch from Tales of the City in its showcase of gay life in San Francisco. Through the eyes of Patrick (Jonathan Groff), a 29-year-old navigating life and love in the Golden Gate City, the HBO dramedy explored many issues impacting (then) modern queer life, including PrEP, serodiscordant dating, generational divides, and the advent of marriage equality. The show was sadly canceled after two seasons (and a two-hour finale special), but it remains a beautiful love letter to S.F. and its vibrant queer history and present. The cast (Groff, Frankie J. Alvarez, Murray Bartlett, Russell Tovey, Raúl Castillo, and Lauren Weedman) wasn’t bad to look at either!

~~~~~~~~~~

Schitt's Creek

Schitt’s Creek is a bright spot on the comedy landscape. Created by Eugene Levy (Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind) and his son Daniel Levy, who is gay, Schitt’s Creek brims with absurdist humor that’s (mostly) sadly missing from pop culture these days. The series, about a wealthy family that loses it all and is forced to rebuild in the podunk town they happen to own, stars Eugene Levy as the patriarch of the family opposite his frequent on-screen partner Catherine O’Hara, who plays his kooky, over-the-top wife Moira. Daniel Levy plays the family's pansexual son David while the wonderful Annie Murphy stars as their bizarrely worldly daughter Alexis. Over the seasons, David has engaged in relationships with men and women on the show, including the town’s motel’s owner Stevie, played by out actress Emily Hampshire. Loaded with camp and a queer sensibility, Schitt’s Creek continues to be a panacea for the daily news cycle.

~~~~~~~~~~

Glee

Ryan Murphy’s musical dramedy Glee, which ran on Fox from 2009 to 2015, introduced numerous LGBTQ students and faculty members to the halls of William McKinley High School. The love stories of Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Blaine (Darren Criss), and Santana (Naya Rivera) and Brittany (Heather Morris), gave queer teens around the world romantic possibility models, while transgender characters like Coach Beiste (Dot-Marie Jones) and Unique Adams (Alex Newell) explored gender identity at different ages. The true delight of the show, however, was watching out actress Jane Lynch scheme to bring down the glee club as cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester as well as the various performances themselves, which recruited a new generation of viewers to the wonders of classic musicals and Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” alike.

Just saw a tweet that said “Darren Criss said he cries and masturbates every Tuesday” lol did I... miss something??? (I know it’s probably a joke but I honestly can’t tell because I would not be shocked if he said that)

Yeah I saw that too. From two different people. My thoughts (of which are not expert at all):

- there was that town hall thing today I believe so maybe it came from that?

- he may have said it, he may not have said it (unless you hear it from his mouth I’d take shit he reportedly said with a grain of salt)

- if he did say it? I am almost certain it was a joke/something not to be taken seriously

- and lastly, if he did say and it was true? Good for him, both of those things are healthy lmao
