Dwayne Jones was a transgender woman who lived in Jamaica, a country Times dubbed “The Most Homophobic Place on Earth” in 2006. Jamaica has since then been the site of many violent homophobic and transphobic murders and mob killings. When researching Dwayne Jones’ story, it can feel at first like a wide display of homophobia and transphobia in the country. She dropped out of school because of bullying, and her father kicked her out of the family home at the age of fourteen because of her “effeminate” behaviour. She was then run out of town by the neighbourhood, including the said father.

paul dano characters as high school band instruments
i swear this as been done before mb gang
lineup : edward nashton (batman 2022), alex winterman jones / barry milland (prisoners 2013), timothy klitz (the girl next door), jay (okja), eli sunday (there will be blood), dwayne hoover (little miss sunshine) burt fabelman (the fabelmans), pierre bezukhov (war and peace)
edward nashton is tough. genuinely. most math/science people i know don’t have a musical/artistic bone in their body but i’m gonna play it safe with bass clarinet OR trombone . seems like a trombone guy to me
alternatively, they give up on him and put him with the vocalists cuz he can sing (he hates it)
barry/alex is one hundred percent going ham on the glockenspiel i’m not explaining myself you’re gonna have to trust me.
also i feel like if he could get the hang of it, he’d enjoy the flute
timothy klitz 100% plays trumpet and is bad at it. terribly. only picked it up cuz he saw 3 valves and thought it was the easiest one. can only barely read sheet music
jay (okja) IS a clarinet. the embodiment of. there’s a certain kind of elegance to a clarinet that isn’t the same elegance of a violin or piano and i feel like he’s that
eli sunday can’t read sheet music. he can’t make a sound for any woodwind or brass instrument. by default he’s a vocalist i can’t explain it but i KNOW he’s got a nice set of pipes
alternatively, i see him taking interest in the cello
dwayne hoover is definitely on bass guitar or he’s a percussionist . just look at him how could he not be. plus he thinks the bass makes him look cool. really wants to try french horn though
burt fabelman if you don’t get your ass on that piano right now so HELP me lord . i mean was this even a question? call me lazy i don’t CARE
also alto sax because i say so
pierre bezukhov you sultry gentleman you . i assign you the honour of viola. tear it up you elegant fellow !
