Hi! I hope you're doing okay. So I just had a thot. And idk what to do with it. So Imma just put it here cause your blog is my new favourite. I'm not even joking. I literally devoured everything related to Tokyo Rev on your blog. So here's my theory. Do correct me if you think I'm wrong Sensei!
Bouten husbands and where they liked to be kissed the most/ or is their weakness. (Ps: it's just my opinion. I mean no offense to anyone.)
Mikey~ Kiss him on his shoulders and he'll cry. Cause he's been bearing all the burden of his dark and decaying world for so long that he doesn't even know that he needs to take a minute for himself and rely on others around him. Especially since most ppl around him are willing to give their life and limbs for Mikey. He just can't seem to keep that in mind. So you've taken it upon yourself to remind him frm time to time. Just a little peck on his strong and broad-ish shoulders to remind him that he's not alone. That if nothing, he has you. He always will.
Rindou~ Something about being kissed on his cheeks, especially by his lover, does things to him. Like his cardiovascular muscles do a little somersault in his chest or something. Because yes, it doesn't matter if he's one of the big, scary and irreplaceable executive of Bouten, he still has an unconscious inferiority complex. Sometimes it just skips his mind that despite everything, he too deserves the world. And every once in a while you need to remind him about it. That he doesn't have to be flashy and snarky like his brother. He just needs to be himself and that he is undeniably worthy of love.
Ran~ Not many people are taller than him, you are no exception. So it makes sense that in order to kiss him you need to be on your tippy toes. And still you're only able to reach his neck. So yeah, just kiss him there. Right on his Adam's apple and he's a goner. It doesn't even have to be sexual. Ran is always the one to take charge. It's kind of in his nature and you happily oblige him. But every now and then, you also need to remind him to take a breather That he can just let go and get dotted over for a change. You're more than happy to take care of him, that he needs to be taken care off.
Koko~ This man not only, brings in the big dough for Bouten, but also beats up people while at it. To say that he's always overworked is an understatement. His hands are always doing something, illegal things most of the time. He knows he's no saint. That there's no coming back into the light. He's painfully aware. But once e intertwine your hands together and kiss him on top of his knuckles, he swears that it's his redemption. You're the only light in his dark and dangerous world.
Kaku-chan~ Please. Just kiss this man on his forehead. Please. He's literally out there, ready to give his life for the things he wants to protect. He's always doing that. Protecting the people that have gone astray, who have no more hope left. He's ready to die for them, if it means they'll keep going. So please, just once, just protect him instead. Protect him from the demons he skillfully hided in his head. Protect him from the nightmares that torment him every night. Just protect him for a change. He needs it more than he's willing to admit.
Sanzu~ Okay. Hear me out. He's deranged and he knows it. He knows he's won't bat an eye before painfully torturing someone to death. Heck he'll even do it with a smile plastered on his face. He knows that he's stained in blood almost all the time.(sometimes his own, most of the other times, not his own). He'll even relish it. He knows that he's been tainted with burden of death. He knows that he lives in the shadows. He's not sane. He's not good. He's bad. He's ugly. You can tell that these awful thoughts keep him awake at night. So when they do and he has this almost painful look on his face. Just pull him close and kiss him on his face, over and over. Kiss his scars, kiss his lips, kiss his nose, his eyes. Just don't stop until he's got your point across. That yes, it's true that he's despicable. But you still love him nonetheless.
Ps: Sorry that was too long and kinds got out of hand. But these are just my "thots". Thank you for hearing me out!~ Thot anon
hi iā€™m doing okay, thanks for asking n i hope you are too !! also aaah iā€™m glad to know my blog is your new fave, i hope you enjoy more of my future tokrev content šŸ„ŗ ALSO YES ITS HEADCANON TIME LETS GO LETS GO
mikey n shoulder kisses šŸ„ŗ i hc that mikey is stiff and rigid all the time without knowing. like you said, he has a lot on his mind and draken even said mikey had a heavy ass cross to bear, so imagine the weight and burdens he has to shoulder šŸ„ŗ so if you lean into him for a hug then kiss his shoulders, mikey deflates. to him, its like a reminder he doesnā€™t have to carry it all by himself all the time and poor bb forgets that often
cheek kisses for rindou šŸ„ŗ the idea of this big, bad executive infamous for breaking limbs but is actually a sucker for cheek kisses and turns into a soft lil bean when you cup his face and just smother him with love n affection? bless. rindou probably unknowingly exerts too much effort sometimes to prove something - may it be his strength, his power, or how heā€™s perfectly capable of fighting by himself - heā€™ll have that voice at the back of his head that he needs to do something. giving him cheek kisses grounds him and elicits butterflies in his stomach bcos he realizes that, ā€œoh, i donā€™t have to try so hard. silly me...now more cheek kisses, please.ā€
ran and neck kisses !! ON THE FLOOR RN, TELL ME MORE. but yes omg i also hc that ran is such a giver and grown up to look for others the way he does for rindou, so in his head, heā€™s kind of drilled it into himself that he has to be the one in the lead - not necessarily in a mikey way - but in a ā€œhe needs to take charge and take his responsibilities seriouslyā€ kind of thing. like mikey, ran is probably often deep in thought as well despite his teasing mannerisms, that when you kiss his neck he canā€™t help but soften. he enjoys being doted on. loves to be the one on the receiving side. has the sweetest smile on his face when he gets a lil ticklish and he just feels like heā€™s on cloud nine <33
knuckle kisses for koko šŸ˜« everything you said was on point !! his hands are probably so tired from fighting and counting bills all day, not to mention the amount of paperwork he has to do bcos who else will do them ?? no one knows the inner system of koko and how it works as well as koko does, and he wants to do his job right. he gets a little too absorbed in his work, however, that koko gets a little confused when you take his hands away from whatever heā€™s working on to leave little kisses at the pads of his knuckles, maybe even massaging his hands or playing with his fingers to help him relax a bit. and you know how koko is so good at what he does bcos its all he knows, but at the same he probably hates how he treads on this dark path ?? so when you kiss his knuckles, he feels relieved. like everything will be okay and second chances are real n something heā€™s worthy of
omg now this is my favorite - kakucho + foreahead kisses. forehead kisses are always so intimate and soothing in a sense. like come here so you can kiss him on the forehead, watch the way his eyes flutter close and a smile tugs at his lips when your lips trail down to his scar, all the while your hands are cupping his face with such tenderness he never really knew of. kakucho is so used to being the tough guy with his rough childhood that it almost feels surreal. surreal that heā€™s in bed, with you, safe and sound and youā€™re kissing his forehead so comfortingly he doesnā€™t have to worry about putting his walls down for a second. he feels safe. he feels at home. but most of all, he knows heā€™s not alone and he has you - his family
kissing sanzuā€™s scars šŸ„ŗ everything you said was beautiful n i can totally see it happening !! as much as we all know sanzu takes great pleasure and finds entertainment in what he does, it sinks down a little too late. when heā€™s not high, thatā€™s when he feels the lows. when the blood on his hands are dried, thatā€™s when he realizes it gets harder to wash them off until it stains deep all the way into his soul. then his scars. he sees his scars and remembers how he has to hide them at some point. he stays awake at night and oddly enough, silent and unmoving. and what better way to ease his worries than to pull him close and just to kiss his scars that he thinks are only one of the ways the darkness - the ugliness - of his soul shows through. keep him close and kiss his scars. sanzu may not always be in the right mind to understand your words, but the simple gesture of showing love and acceptance to a part of him that makes him a whole will engrave deep into his heart. leave him butterfly kisses. kiss him from everywhere to his eyes until they flutter close to sleep. kiss his nose adoringly until they scrunch so cutely. kiss his lips until its your taste that overwhelms him. and kiss his scars to remind him his imperfections are accepted and loved

rank the new who doctors?
i would very much like to YAY thank u!!! iā€™m gonna uh.... ramble. because i am excited to be asked. my personal list donā€™t take it too seriously
1. capaldi. i love him So Much. it breaks my heart so many ppl gave up before his run, or while it was still in its early stages. among dw fans who still watch the show heā€™s generally already considered an iconic doctor. you hear a lot of people saying they regret not appreciating him until he was gone which i 100% feel. he was a who fan his entire life (the fanmail he wrote as a teen is so cute) and he poured so much love into the role!!! maybe didnā€™t have the best writing at the start but he more than makes up for it with his fucking phenomenal acting ability and pure LOVE for the doctorā€™s character! his arc too is the most touching for me.... heā€™s the doctor who finally heals. he starts off so jaded and almost seems cruel. i think thatā€™s why so many people were turned off from him initially. but, after watching his entire run, you realise that was set up for a masterful arc abt healing and kindness and learning to laugh again. the pure love between him and bill, his unrelenting faith in missy..... ā€œlaugh hard, run fast, be kindā€ is the best fucking dw quote donā€™t even LOOK at me
2. tennant. sad man runs around being sad, stands in rain, grieves over all that genocide he committed, generally looks like a kicked puppy at every given chance. we love to see it! his relationships with his companions make him so damn real, maybe the realest of all the new who doctors. i love him dearly. my favourite thing about him is that he does have terrible moments of arrogance and theyā€™re called out and his arc is about acknowledging that heā€™s not all-powerful (waters of mars i loooove yoooouuu). i love to make fun of him and i also want to hug him
3. smith. funny, tumblr hates him lmao. most people i ask irl here in br*tain will either say tennant or smith as their fave in a 50/50 split (maybe favouring tennant slightly). matt was the first doctor that made me want to watch the show, age 7 and sitting down for his first ever ep :ā€™) so heā€™s special to me i canā€™t help it!!! his first series, s5, is the most cohesive series in the whole of new who imo. itā€™s the series i always rec to ppl who wanna start the show bc it knows what it wants to do and generally all the episodes are mid to high tier doctor who (except the winston churchill daleks one, good fucking god). when i learnt that tennant is ā€œthe man who regretsā€ while smith is ā€œthe man who forgetsā€ it helped me understand him much better.... he desperately wants to bury that past but he canā€™t run forever. his final episodes lose it a bit but i donā€™t think he deserves the distaste so many on here seem to have for him. his writing suffers from feeling a bit contrived so thatā€™s probably part of it
4. eccelston. important thing to keep in mind is that he got only one series and in that time he made such an impression as his own doctor!!! if he had more time heā€™d probably be higher on my list. ā€œjust this once, everybody livesā€ stays in my mind RENT FREE... it sums up how painfully tired he isā€”the post-time war doctor, fresh with hopelessness and loss and heā€™s so elated to save everyone, just once, even if it never ever happens again. his hearts are so big and so are his ears :]
5. whittaker. sheā€™s on the bottom of my list but that doesnā€™t mean i dislike her! i love her, actually! her first series however is the worst in the whole of new who because of its disaster writing, imo. worse than series 7, yes, bc at least series 7 had some fun episodes at the start. i seriously donā€™t believe that chibnall has a vision for the show, just a mish-mash of done before ideas he doesnā€™t know how to string together into a plot or characters that actually feel like family. but enough of chibnall, whittaker is so FUN as the doctor!!! sheā€™s everything i wanted from a post-capaldi doctor, who ended his run choosing to be kind. whittaker continues that legacy by smiling and being a Literal Ball of Sunshine <333 although i was worried at first she wouldnā€™t get much depth beyond that, series 12 made my desire for her as the certified repression doctor CANON!!!! i have my issues with s12 but im so so excited for the upcoming series!

Okay so we all know who your top ships are... who are your unpopular ships? Or obscure ships? What characters from what series do you think about often in either good or bad ways? Who is a character that you hate that others love? If you could rewrite a story or part of a book, what would it be and what would you do differently?
Ok I am digging through my brain right now bc if Iā€™m not able to hyperfixate on something then I tend to forget I even liked it. Ok buckle in bc this is gonna be long af. YOU ASKED FOR THIS, REG.
Iā€™m putting a readmore so as not to torture my followers lol
Thinking about Veronica Mars. About Veronica/Logan. Do they have a ship name?? But I love that show and i was THERE for them. They were kind of a surprise ship for me, in that when they got together I was like, wait, WHAT? Like I was totally caught off guard. But there first kiss is, like, sooo romantic to me haha. Itā€™s my fave scene in the show. But Logan is suck a prick sometimes. And they break up like every five minutes. And every season Logan gets accused of murder which of course he ends up not being the murderer. And they get back together eventually and Iā€™m like really? But deep down I am rooting for them lol. I really enjoyed the new season of Veronica Mars that came out last year, actually. The ending made me SO SAD THO.
I also used to watch Supergirl and I thought Kara and Mon-El were adorable. He was very Carswell Thorne-esque, RH, I *think* you would like him. I never watched past season 3(?) though, and he shoots off into space and I never caught up so a few months ago I actually googled what happens and [spoiler] he ends up marrying someone else in the future or something so I was like, ok Iā€™m not investing any more time in this show lol. (Also I had to google Mon-Elā€™s name just now bc i forgot which is a bad look BUT I WAS REALLY RIDE OR DIE FOR THEM FOR A WHILE lol). Also I loved Martian Manhunter in this show, he was my favorite character. But the CGI for him was awful, omg. He had practical makeup at first, they should have just stuck with that.
Speaking of Martian Manhunter, I also used to watch Young Justice and loved Miss Martian/Superboy. Am I basic??? lol oop. But I love basic love stories. Anyway, I thought they were super cute. In season 3 though theyā€™re kind of on the rocks. I havenā€™t watched season 4. I also loved Artemis/Wally West, but of course that had to end tragically.
Also, letā€™s talk about Nightcrawler. Allow me to set the scene. Little Kat is 13 and just rediscovered the cartoon she saw a few times as a kid called X-Men: Evolution. And thus, a weird obsession with the German, blue demon boy began. I loved Kurt Wagner. In the cartoon he starts a relationship with Amanda Sefton and I thought they were a-dor-a-ble. She accepted him for who he was, and they had a really nice healthy relationship. A lot of ppl shipped him with Kitty too which i am honestly all for idec I JUST WANT THE BLUE BOI TO BE HAPPY.
Can we talk about A:TLA too??? Like, obviously Zutara, amiright? Power couple. Like, Kataang is.. fine, but its probably my least favorite part about the ending, haha. Also, consider: Tokka. Toph is bae and can get anyone she wants, and she clearly had kind of a crush on Sokka and I think they could have been awesome. It actually kills me that they never say who Lin and Suyinā€™s father is in LoK. I had a whole theory that it was that kid The Duke from Jetā€™s band based on like 2 scenes from the series. Thereā€™s a tumblr post I made about it somewhere in the ether lol.
I also just remembered Tahnorra (Tahno/Korra) from Legend of Korra. Itā€™s hard for me to explain this one. Itā€™s a weird combination of being hyperfixated on the first season of the show when it came out, and I think I stumbled upon some fic or something???? And I thought Tahno was hot or something??? And FUN FACT, he was voice by Rami Malek BEFORE HE WAS COOL. So like before Rami really got big I knew who he was. He also basically played the Avatar in Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2 and I thought that connection was hilarious. It was kind of a problematic crack pairing but there was one author in particular whom i follow to this day hoping sheā€™ll update her Tahnorra ficsā€¦. *sigh*
Okay one last shipā€¦. I used to be ride or die for Outlaw Queen in Once Upon a Time (aka Regina/Robin Hood). Like, before TLC, I had a personal tumblr renaissance for that ship alone. My only existing published fanfic is for that ship. Taylor Swiftā€™s 1989 came out that year and I related every dang song to that ship. I loved Regina so much and I just wanted her to be happy. That show is a dumpster fire, though, and spat all over my hopes and dreams. *sigh*
Also, lightning round for obscure pairings I ship and/or never talk about:
Frank Castle/Karen Page (The Punisher) ok this one isnt that obscure but I never talk about itā€¦ but the pining, oh god the pining
Jaime Lannister/Brienne of Tarth (GoT) THEIR 5 SECONDS TOGETHER ARE THE ONLY WORTHY PART OF SEASON 8. everything after that never happened
I already listed Roy Mustang/Riza Hawkeye (FMAB) as a top pairing previously but I feel the need to mention it again bc it was for real my OG OTPā€¦ LIKE U WANNA TALK ABOUT PININGā€¦. *sobs*
Percy/Annabeth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians) This used to be my fave book series and i loved how their relationship developed over the course of the books
Neville Longbottom/Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter) ok can we TALK ABOUT THIS??? They were both badass misfits and they were perfect for each other. But noooo JKR has to announce they marry some nobodiesā€¦. this is the only change the last movie did right
Midna/Link (Zelda: Twilight Princess) I honestly have no explanation for this lol
Qui-gon Jinn and Shmi (Star Wars) CAN U IMAGINE if anakin had a proper father figure and didnt have to abandon his mother to slavery
Obi-wan/Satineā€¦. (Star Wars: The clone Wars) we know whats up
OK, to answer some of your other questions: character I hate that others love. HMMMMā€¦ā€¦.
This one seems too easy/obvious but Professor Snape? Like obviously thereā€™s already a ton of discourse surrounding this but he was gross, mistreated his students for years, committed atrocities, couldnā€™t get over his high school crush, and weā€™re supposed to believe heā€™s a hero in the end and HARRY WOULD NAME HIS SON AFTER HIMā€¦.. uh no. ā€œAlwaysā€ is gross.
Iā€™ve literally been wracking my brain for days and I canā€™t think of any more characters for this. OK I did some googling and I remembered some LOL.
Ross from friendsā€¦. I literally canā€™t stand him. Heā€™s so entitled and just the worst. He tries to act like heā€™s the nice, sensitive guy, but really he is so full of himself. Joey on the other hand is portrayed as a womanizer but is actually super sweet and I love him
Archie from Riverdaleā€¦ I have only seen the first 1.5 seasons ish but he is the worstā€¦. weā€™re supposed to believe heā€™s some easygoing musically gifted football player but instead he manages to pull off being bland as heck and actually kind of a terrible garbage person
Nick from chilling adventures of Sabrina. I hate characters that are like hitting on the main character even though she has a bf and are like dark and broody and sexy blah blah blahā€¦. I liked Harvey way better. I never finished season 2 tho
Emma Swan from Once Upon a Time? Idk she was fine she just got old after a while
If you could rewrite a story or part of a book, what would it be and what would you do differently?
HM. First, Harry would name his son Remus Rebeus Potter LOL. Ok but real talk there was a headcanon floating around forever ago that Harry should have become a professor at Hogwarts instead of an auror and I am 100% on board
Ok, okā€¦.. what abouuutttā€¦ā€¦ OK, is star wars when Han and Leia get together. I like them as a couple, but the entire first half of the movie Han is being such an ass. And when they kiss the first time, heā€™s being SOOO creepy. Itā€™s like so quintessentially 80s romance. and HEREā€™S THE THING. They actually filmed (or maybe just wrote?) a version of that scene that WASNT CREEPY. And iā€™m like WHY DIDNT YOU USE THAT?!? So I like to pretend thatā€™s the version that actually happened.
This part is way harder than the shipping portion. If I think of anything else iā€™l dm you. I HOPE YOU ENJOY READING THIS NOVEL LENGTH POST OF ME RAMBLING ABOUT MY FIXATIONS OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS. If anyone actually read this far, you deserve a cup of hot chocolate and a blanket

HI HOW DO YOU WRITE CHARACTERS
hewwo! i can answer this! im literally gonna do a quick list of both deh and bmc characters for u under this readmore! :D
im gonna start with deh because smaller cast!
evan: 
isnā€™t so much stuttery as he tends to repeat things and uh stammer a bit here and there. stutters over his words sometimes but itā€™s more l-like this and uh, likeā€¦ like this
evan hansen has anxiety. he is not anxiety. evan hansen fucks up and makes mistakes and probably internalizes a lot of things. very polite when in public but he can be a bit snappy (as seen w evans comment abt how zoeā€™s parents have never been poor i believe? it was something he said to zoe)
soft spoken, most of the time. probably not the kind of guy to vocally ask for things until heā€™s at a comfortable enough point that he feels like heā€™s not bothering you (same buddy)
i see evan as someone who gets frustrated with himself easily. not as a sense of ā€œgod i wish i were normalā€ but more of a ā€œi should be able to do this, why cant i do this, i want to do this but i cantā€ because sometimes itā€™s just a matter of i literally cant do this and i dont know why? and god its so frustrating sometimes
jared:
jared kleinman is a fucking asshole and he knows it. very sarcastic and uses it to cover up his own insecurities, probably the kind of dude who laughs in your face when you tell him off when internally heā€™s just OH FUCK OH SHIT FUCK FUCK FUCK
a lot of ppl write jared as being insecure abt his weight and tbh i donā€™t see that being a problem for him? i see jared as being insecure abt the fact he comes off very snarky and assholeish but he turns it around and tries to own it even thoughā€¦ thatā€™s not something you want to be proud of? and he knows that
not the kind of dude who stops to assess his feelings. he powers through shit and insists heā€™s okay until heā€™s out of steam. i think it was psy who said heā€™s a ā€œneeds therapy boiā€ and tbh sheā€™s right? 
can be very passive aggressive imo itā€™s something he really needs to work on.
arrogant, sarcastic, and just a big fucking dick who needs to learn how to watch his mouth.
zoe:
not an pure baby angel, by any means. weā€™re at a disadvantage because we only see zoe when sheā€™s sort of grieving (because grief can and will come in different ways, and while i see her as not missing connor, i do think that her pushing away her feelings is a form of her grieving imo? itā€™s a weird thing to explain but thereā€™s a part of zoe that does miss (the old) connorā€™s presence as w the fake emails evan ā€œgave her her brother backā€ (albeit a very fake version of connor) and sort of standoffish when it comes to the subject of connor
a bit of an ambivert. extremely outgoing when sheā€™s around her friends or when it comes to music and other things she loves.
very individualistic! her style tends to have doodles on her clothes, she dyes her hair a lot, she probably would be the kind of person to make her own jewelry!
very sweet. the castng call for zoe describes her as being the kind of person who learns the names of the kids who sit alone at lunch and thats she goes out of her way to be nice to people since. connor. yeah.
thats all ive got for zoe but u can always send questions in and i can say yes or no after i ask my pals too
alana:
smart gal! valedictorian! president! i love her! tends to overshare a bit. anxiety + depression gal.
probably into gardening tbh? i can see alana having succulents in her room and maybe a dog that just chills with her.
dont be afraid to make alana mouthy. alana is someone whos extremely headstrong in her actions imo and does what she believes is right, even if others dont believe that. likeā€¦ think about the fact that she literally published what was believed to be connorā€™s suicide note because she thought itā€™d get them the last bit of help they needed for the orchard. it literally fucked the murphys over - but she never considered that?
very much an extrovert. just really wants to belong, man. very optimistic on the surface but i can see her being a little less so underneath. she looks on the bright side because if she doesnt, she doesnt know who will and idk i dont think alanaā€™s the kind of person who just... lets that risk be there.
connor:
we dont kno much abt connor in canon but uhhhā€¦. i can see connor as being a loner, sort of aggressive by accident (tbh this dudeā€™s probably used to people being a dick to him so heā€™s just sorta standoffish in response) but likeā€¦ whenever i write connor i usually write him as getting better? heā€™s gotten the help he needs and heā€™s doin better 
artsy depressed dude. poetry, painting, ect - whatever u want tbh. i just see connor, with help, finding himself in art or something creative (theatre and music included! u do u!)
very much a reader. this dude both has a lot of books on his bookshelf and a lot more books he hasnt fucking read because hes terrible at reading new books. (i personally hc he loves all of poeā€™s work)
to sorta sum connor up: bold, but not outgoing. caring, but not obvious with it (once he gets help btw). easily angered but sometimes he just doesnā€™t fucking know why and that frustrates him further. troubled.
honestly if u want to see one of my fave connors - check out @ask-sincerely-memesā€‹! i rly love how they portray all three of the boys, but connor is by far my favorite! (mod con and/or mod ev if u read this i love u)
OK ONTO THE BMC FUCKERS if you want to kno abt the adults for either show then feel free to ask
jeremy:
anxiety boy, but not evan hansen level of anxiety. more justā€¦ self deprecating, not super confident in himself, probably underestimates himself a lot.
jeremys hard to explain sometimes because a lot of his actions and dialogue comes naturally since i can actually relate to jeremy a lot, personality-wise? a really good fact to throw out there is i donā€™t think jeremyā€™s the kind of guy who just goes for stuff sometimes. he has to sorta be hyped up by others imo. michael motivated him to sign up for the play, rich and michael both played parts in getting him squipped (michael in the aspect of ā€œlets check this out and see if its legitā€ bc i doubt jeremy would have genuinely done that on his own).
which really means jeremy isnt the kind of guy to justā€¦ confess things, unless itā€™s built up enough (i.e. jeremys confrontation w reader in unlonely since it was a conversation heā€™d been thinking about for a bit). in canon, he didnt reallyā€¦ confess to christine without the help of alcohol (at the halloween party) or without other people building him up (voices in my head). 
im literally rereading jeremy fics rn because im trying to come up with a good way of describing him
extremely horny teenage boy. hormones suck. for anyone who writes nsfw: i dont see jeremy being incredibly kinky and sexual and dominant (god forbid) his first fucking time having sex. especially if its both him and the readers first time. sex can be clumsy. you can laugh during sex. but also sex smells. likeā€¦ once youā€™ve smelled it, you fucking know it - its just a weird combo of sweat and bodily fluids. 
that last part was just a PSA for ppl.
lightweight boy. a lot bolder when drunk. thank you.
honestly if u have any questions abt jeremy, i can try to answer them more specifically but this is as general as i can get.
michael
not an uwu anxious depressed innocent baby boy uwu. remember that michael literally withheld the mtn dew red from jeremy because he wanted an apology. remember that michael wouldnt have been squipped because michael had been completely comfortable with who he is. michael likes his place. he doesnā€™t want to be cool and popular - he likes who he is. michael in the bathroom was a peak moment of michael finally letting go of emotions heā€™d been withholding - jeremy calling him a ā€œloserā€ was the final straw that broke him. thank u this has been a psa.
a goofy boy. probably snorts when he laughs and im not projecting there what are you talking about-
okay, canonically: likes video games, likes retro shit (probably the kind of nerd who LIVES for arcades and record stores and vintage clothing stores even if he doesnt mix that into his personal style), very into music. thereā€™s a lot you can do with this! 
imo heā€™s very caring? like. okay, yes he did withhold mtn dew red from jeremy - but michael still went through the trouble of finding and obtaining that in order to deactivate the squip. i think michaelā€™s a fairly understanding dude, even if he has moments of anger.
just a very warm person. probably the kind of person who stops and makes sure people are okay when he notices theyā€™re upset.
sometimes impulsive. sometimes very restless, imo. bouncy boy. 
like w jeremy - you can absolutely send me questions abt michael (or anyone tbh!) and iā€™ll answer them the best i can! im by no means an expert but ive got pals i can bother in order to help get a solid answer :3
christine
chriiistiiiiiiiiine, the love of my life. a gal w ADD! please donā€™t forget that! i personally hc that she got into a theatre as a way of likeā€¦ sort of getting energy out since sheā€™s fairly restless??? track girl christineā€¦.. also good
loves herself a lot tbh! like. in the show, its canon that she has stuff to figure out but i personally think christine loves herself and her body and is proud of who she is?
very friendly, very open, very passionate abt theatre! these are basic facts lmao
very sweet! very smart! sheā€™s like... The Girl in all the movies that everyones like ā€œoh no i love herā€ bc shes just a bubbly gal
writing christine is really hard to describe sometimes. like with all the characters, i write what feels right and sounds right to me and to others.
but like... to be honest, as long as you stay a bit happy and supportive and loving with christine - youā€™re on the right track.
jake
god - one of my favorite boys to write sometimes because thereā€™s a lot to do with jakeā€™s character
heā€™s the ultimate cool dude in high school. probably the kind of dude who would join a frat in college. handsome, popular, flirtatious - you fucking name it man.
sorta effortlessly popular and cool. thereā€™s problems underneath - considering his family - but itā€™s hard to see that he has flaws when everything just comes so easily to him.
a very caring and sweet dude tbh. his friends mean a lot to him and heā€™s the kind of boy who carries your books and asks where youā€™re going and how youā€™re doing
he makes mistakes. he gets aggressive and protective and just angry physically - he did try to attack jeremy, albeit drunk, based purely on the idea that jeremy was having sex w chloe - so like... thatā€™s a good thing to acknowledge
i said hes flirtatious and he is - without realizing it. someone probably has called him out on it and heā€™s like ā€œsorry what?ā€ bc he was caught up in talking to someone and not realizing that the dillinger charm never went off. because it never goes off. rip.
rich
GOD, my FAVORITE BOY, the LOVE OF MY LIFE, i love him.
squipped: aggressive. a bully. stinky. 0/10.
post-squipcident: getting better. sorta numb at first before happy, outgoing rich resurfaces because Heā€™s Fine! Do Not Worry! but yā€™know like... he definitely has a lot of problems with what he did and who he was while he had the squip
a bit sensitive imo. easily upset on certain topics, easily angered on others. really misses his mom (i hc she died and his dad took up drinking as a coping mechanism and its mainly rich and his older brother relying on each other but thats just me tbh.)
rich is tricky to write when it comes to his home life. while i see richā€™s dad as being a loud drunk, others see him as being physically abusive and so forth and - okay, thatā€™s your decision, but please make sure youā€™re being respectful and you post trigger warnings because some people are in abusive homes and itā€™s not a fun thing to read. 
great sense of humor imo. flirtatious but in the more obvious ā€œhaha hey lets bone ;)ā€ way. alternatively: flirtatious with squip, floundering a bit without it because all he knows is ā€œhaha hey wanna fuckā€ 
would probably fight a dick for his pals. rly just loves his friends even if he doesnā€™t show it.
chloe
chloe is a bit hard to write without saying ā€œshes kind of a bitchā€ but like... she is and she knows it and she fucking owns it.
casting call: ā€œ confident, crass, sexy, manipulative, and downright mean at timesā€
so like. sheā€™s nowhere near bein a sweet angel baby uwu
has problems. explore them. she literally was down to fuck brookeā€™s boyfriend since jeremy was dating brooke yknow. part of it could be alcohol but like... dont ignore that fact. like. she probs needs to talk to both brooke and jeremy.
i think of chloe as someone who can see the potential in others tbh. gets slightly annoyed when people arent achieving what they could - but i like to imagine she gets it after a while since some ppl dont have confidence and such. 
yknow the kind of people that take charge when the situation calls for it? thatā€™s chloe. sheā€™s very much a leader. cunning, ambitious - sheā€™s fucking ready.
brooke
more of an angel i guess? sweet, a bit insecure, and a little more caring. not very dominant in situations - tends to be more of a follower (as shown w her and chloeā€™s friendship)
very caring actually. she literally followed jeremy out and said ā€œuhhh he was kind of a dick to women but i know u like eminemā€ upon his death in the show??? like??? she literally went to check on this boy.
imo she sorta needs to learn to be bolder. to not take shit. shes probably the kind of person who says yes to a lot of things even if theyā€™re conflicting bc she doesnā€™t want to like... bother someone and make things worse
emotional, imo. fairly feminine.
its hard to keep describing sdfkjhds sorry
jenna
not popular. remember that she wanted people to be interested in her, which is why she gossips a lot
probably tends to overhear half of the gossip. other than that, i can see her easily finding shit out bc she has eyes Everywhere
bold, fairly extroverted, probably really fucking smart tbh. give her love. she deserves it.
thats both at me and everyone else. jenna rolan ily...
very much a big sister figure, post-squipcident. theres this kdrama i was watching where the main protag lives w a couple other girls and one of the oldest one of the bunch is very much a big sister figure that will call other people out on their bullshit because she knows protag isnt the kind of person to do that? thats jenna. and chloe, but mostly jenna.
probably the kind of person who wants to be helpful imo. she likes feeling useful.

So random stuff about me and my acting career, apropos of nothing but being bored and having a spare moment. Putting it under a cut, not because itā€™s super personal or I have a problem with reblogs or anything in this instance, itā€™s just long and rambly and only of interest if youā€™re like....actually interested. Idk.
So I was just talking about memory, and Iā€™m weird because in most instances, I actually have a really freaky good memory. Itā€™s not photographic, but itā€™s still damn good. I can memorize a script fast enough that it gives most of my other actor friends envy, I could draw a floorplan of like, every house I lived in as a kid, but the thing is itā€™s not automatic. I have to like....make a mental note to lock something in as worth hanging on to. Its not like I look at a page and I have it memorized, but I look at a page and make a mental note like Iā€™m taking a snapshot of it, and then its locked in. 
But bottom line....I have a really really good memory for anything I care about to some degree, for whatever reason I care about it, whether itā€™s an important life event or a scene by scene breakdown of a fave fanfic I read twenty years ago in high school. Flip side tho....I have an absolutely TERRIBLE memory for anything that doesnā€™t particularly matter to me and I was never paying that much attention to begin with.
Now, you would think this would work out in my favor overall, as an actor, right? Like I said, I can memorize scripts really quickly and hold onto them for as long as I need to, I never forget a face if itā€™s someone I like or have a good interaction with, stuff like that.
Buuuuuut....problem is.....Iā€™m also a jaded cynical asshole who super doesnā€™t give a shit about a lot of key things that most everyone else in the entertainment industry assumes everyone cares about as much as them. Like....say, how famous a person is, or how popular a show or movie is.
I could tell you every little detail I learned in conversation with a super obscure actor I worked with once eight years ago thatā€™s only recently achieved a level of fame or celebrity if that actor was someone I enjoyed working with as a person. But if say, for instance, purely speaking hypothetically, if an actor were someone that I decided I didnā€™t give a shit about five seconds into our interaction because he came across as Generic Hollywood Douchebag #27? And if that actor was mostly in shows that arenā€™t to my personal tastes and so arenā€™t really on my radar, it doesnā€™t matter how big or famous that actor is, or even if Iā€™ve literally met them three different times on three different projects and been personally introduced to them because I had actual lines with them.....hypothetically I would probably reintroduce myself to them each time as though it were the first time weā€™d ever met, even though Iā€™m the nameless nobody and theyā€™re the big star, because I simply did not give enough of a shit about them to lock in our previous interactions.
Now, Iā€™m not saying that this scenario has happened, Iā€™m just saying that it hasnā€™t....not happened. 
And Iā€™ve definitely never been in the super awkward position of only realizing halfway into a three week shoot with a director that the kinda weird random comments the director keeps making to me have to do with the fact that he actually directed me in a commercial years earlier and has been assuming this whole time that I definitely remembered working with him before, whoops.
But yeah, point is, I have a lot of cool or interesting or funny stories from working in Hollywood for like...ten years now, I think? Idk. But theyā€™re all from like...good days on set on projects I enjoyed working with people I liked. Iā€™ve had just as many projects where I literally just showed up for the paycheck, worked with people I didnā€™t err...particularly care for, and basically just....forgot everything about the job and the experience the minute I walked off set because who needs that shit, you know? Like I mean, yes, Iā€™m petty and spiteful and joke about this all the time, but in reality, I donā€™t ACTUALLY get super annoyed over every single negative interaction I ever have, I just exaggerate this aspect of me for shits and giggles on tumblr because Iā€™m unneccessarily melodramatic. When it comes to my day to day job, aka working on set on various projects, its just not worth the mental energy to get worked up over a lot of the shit I deal with on a daily basis because like, Ego is EVERYWHERE in Hollywood, and even I do not have the time or energy to be annoyed every time I have to work with a patronizing asshole. So mostly, I just tend to...forget about them. Unless they REALLY get under my skin.
Anyway, this leads to a very weird dichotomy when it comes to talking about my actual career and experiences as an actor. I can totally be guilty of name-dropping and being all oh I know so and so or I worked on this or that, but its not really because I think its super impressive because theyā€™re so famous or whatever. The novelty of working with famous people wears off pretty quick, and like...no matter how big the person youā€™re working with today is, its not like there isnā€™t always someone bigger, you know? So when I name drop, it tends to be because I just really like someone as a person or just had a really good time working with them or working on a particular shoot. But then again, flip side.....try and talk to me about a job I didnā€™t care about, I mean, not a job I HATED but a job I just....wasnā€™t invested in, just was there for the paycheck, and like....youā€™ll get a blank stare 99% of the time. 
So, I technically remain pseudo anonymous for the time being on tumblr, not wanting to publicly link this URL to my like....work stuff, thatā€™s because most of you have seen me get enough anon crap from people worked up about fandom drama, that its not worth it to me to risk giving them potential ammunition like that. Considering I.....umm, absolutely have talked a LOT of shit about a couple of movies and shows and actors and directors that I have worked on or with personally because I have no filter lmao. 
(And yes, Kalen is my real name and ppl have found my twitter and writing stuff because of it BUT I use a different name for my SAG name so like, thatā€™s not what Iā€™m on IMDB and stuff as). But because I have no filter and am one of the least subtle people in existence, I actually do end up saying a lot of stuff I probably shouldnā€™t if I REALLY wanted to remain totally anonymous, because a few people have absolutely figured out stuff Iā€™ve been in and even tracked me down based on stuff Iā€™ve mentioned over the years, lol whoops. And its not really that big a deal because I do have enough common sense....well no, okay letā€™s put it this way, I do have a firm enough system of prioritizing things for myself that anything I do say out loud, online or in public, is something that I would and have stood by even if it ends up getting me in trouble. Like, its not end of the world type secrecy, its more just....eh, I donā€™t really want to deal with unnecessary career drama if I donā€™t have to, so I try to be vague about stuff when I remember to, but Iā€™m not like....obsessively invested in it. If that makes sense?
But the funny thing is, even with friends who do know my real name and I talk to about actual jobs Iā€™ve had, like....half the time I canā€™t even tell them where to find me, because I genuinely donā€™t even remember a ton of the stuff Iā€™ve actually been in. I could literally still recite my lines from a role, because thatā€™s important info I needed to get paid for the job and thus I retain it....but in instances where it was just one or two fairly generic scenes without a context clue or me using names to signify who I might be talking to or what show or movie it might be from....I literally do not remember what the actual role itself was, lmao.
Like, Iā€™m not even exaggerating for effect even slightly, this is how weird my brain is. I get residual checks for work Iā€™ve done where I have to like....go hunt down my voucher or contract that matches the dates on the check to figure out what project it was from and try and remember it. Or go through my phone or facebook based off the dates to try and see if I talked to anyone about it that can jog my memory. Because whatā€™s worse is a lot of stuff in Hollywood that isnā€™t like, a long running TV show, will use a pre-production name or even just go by ā€˜Untitled (Directorā€™s Name) Projectā€™, so I get a check with the official name of the project on it, and my dumb ass never paid attention to it after I was done working on it so never actually connected the dots.
LOL, Iā€™ve had people I know come to me and be like, hey, were you on this episode of Criminal Minds in Season (I donā€™t even remember, I forgot AGAIN, jesus)....and Iā€™m like....uh, I donā€™t think so? Because I hate Criminal Minds but I actually do watch it on Netflix, but in the background of stuff when Iā€™m working on writing or graphic design stuff from home, and so Iā€™m like, uh, I think I would remember if Iā€™d ever worked on Criminal Minds or at least noticed....and then theyā€™re all, no, I swear, thatā€™s you, and they told me the episode number and I looked it up on Netflix and fast forwarded to the time stamp they gave me and I was like....ohhhhhhh, right, yeah that is me. Wait, I remember that shoot, that was Criminal Minds???? Huh. I had no idea.
Iā€™m not even kidding. This is a real, actual conversation Iā€™ve had with a college friend on facebook.
But yeah, it literally happens all the time to me. People will ask me ā€œso what would I have seen you inā€ and half the time I legit have to tell them ā€œapparently, the stuff youā€™re most likely to have seen me in, I completely have no idea where to find it.ā€ Because most of the jobs Iā€™ve had that I really enjoyed and remember fondly were for like, indie movies, or pilots that never got picked up, or this was this car commercial I did that only ever aired in European markets, and shit like that. And IMDB isnā€™t really much of a help because most actors kinda have to manage their own IMDB pages....to get officially credited via SAG, through IMDB Pro and stuff, either you or your agent or manager have to go through the production itself to get confirmation, and itā€™s a whole hassle and like.....you all know Iā€™m notoriously ADHD right? LOL. 
And Iā€™ve never really had a consistent agent or manager for longer than a couple months, because the level that Iā€™m at career wise, Iā€™ve honestly always done better getting my own work than getting it through agents sending me on auditions. Iā€™ve done two big budget pilots for primetime networks and both of them I got cast because the casting director called me in directly because she remembered me from these three episodes I did on a soap opera eight years ago, random stuff like that and personal networking, thatā€™s how Iā€™ve landed most of my jobs. But that means Iā€™m the only one responsible for maintaining my IMDB page, which given the hoops you have to jump through to get properly credited in a lot of cases, means mine is missing like...a lot. (Also I haaaaate watching myself act on camera, because Iā€™m a perfectionist and super self-critical, so I never seek out my own stuff to watch anyway, I show up, I do the job, Iā€™m done with it, on to the next).
But another example, thereā€™s a pretty popular show that ran on ABC for multiple seasons and is one of the more prominent places where people have seen me and recognized me in something, because like, itā€™s a one scene role but itā€™s definitely and clearly me. And so I went to IMDB to check if I was credited for it, because sometimes production does it itself and I donā€™t always have to do it personally, only....the role is credited....but to some random guy who most definitely is not me. I have no idea who this guy is, I donā€™t even remember seeing him on that shoot and yes itā€™s one i actually remember well lol, but from his page it looks like heā€™s basically a career extra who gets production to credit him when he has significant face time or a nonverbal and nameless but still relevant role - they do that sometimes, so its worth a shot I guess - but anyway, he somehow managed to get credited with my role either by accident or design and Iā€™ve literally been trying for years to get that changed, but since production wrapped years ago itā€™s a pain hunting the right people down and every time I try and go hey I should finally take care of this, I end up just getting annoyed and go fuck it and give up lmao.
So random funny story to wrap this up........like....six or seven years ago I went down to San Diego to visit my little sister, sheā€™s four years younger than me and so had just graduated college I think. And so I was there for a few days and at one point she wanted to go see this new summer movie that had just come out with Hayden Panettiere in it, that girl from Heroes, though its some other show that my sister was a fan of hers from. I did some stunt work on Heroes once though so thatā€™s what I tend to remember her from, even though Iā€™ve actually worked on a few different things sheā€™s been on.
So anyway, my sister and I are sitting in the middle of the theater watching this movie Iā€™ve never heard of or seen any previews for.....it was one of those generic summer high school/college rom-coms that randomly get sprinkled in amidst summer blockbusters some years. And Iā€™m bored and barely paying attention because I looked up the synopsis before we left and it didnā€™t grab me and I wasnā€™t big on any of the cast, so Iā€™m mostly just there to humor my sister because sheā€™s that sibling that every family has where all other siblings fear them. And Iā€™m not like, snoozing or anything, but nothing about the movie is holding my interest so its one of those just kinda...glazed eyes, killing time kinda experiences, and also, parts of it feel very familiar and Iā€™m like....have I seen this before or is it just really really formulaic?
And then my sister full on hits me in the shoulder and hisses ā€œYou didnā€™t tell me you were IN this!ā€ And Iā€™m like, okay first, OW, second....Iā€™m not, I think I would know? And sheā€™s looking at me like Iā€™m the biggest idiot in the world and then gestures super obnoxiously and dramatically (it runs in the family) at the screen and people are starting to look at us, so Iā€™m like Iā€™m looking, jeez, chill....and then its like...huh. Cuz sure enough, there I am. Right in the middle of this big house party scene. Thatā€™s definitely me, and suddenly Iā€™m like.....thaaaaaaaaaaaaaatā€™s why I feel like Iā€™ve seen this movie before, Iā€™m remembering the sceeeeeenes I was on set for. Ugh, no wonder I forgot about it, now Iā€™m remembering we shot this one scene right here like 22 times, we spent three fucking days on it, it was annoying as hell.
And my sisterā€™s still looking at me accusingly, like Iā€™ve committed some mortal sin by not alerting her in advance to my presence, or more likely, not having called her to give her every single detail of my experience on a movie she was interested in, and Iā€™m like....what do you want me to say? I didnā€™t know I was in this! 
How do you NOT know youā€™re in a movie, she wants to know, and weā€™re whisper fighting in the middle of the theater but luckily nobody seems too mad, the ppl around us look kinda amused actually because theyā€™ve recognized the me next to them as the me on the screen and have overhead enough to get the gist (my sister is a very loud whisperer), and anyway Iā€™m like, I knew I was in A movie, I just didnā€™t know it was THIS movie, it was one of those Untitled projects Iā€™m pretty sure. I never knew what they ended up calling it!
And sheā€™s like, and you never tried to find out what it was ultimately called or when it would come out at least? Which....no, why would I? Itā€™s a terrible movie, I have zero interest in it.
Finally sheā€™s like ugh, whatever, I still donā€™t get how you didnā€™t at least think ā€˜hey, I was in something with Hayden Panettiere recently, maybe its thisā€™ when I was talking about her being in it. You had to at least know she was in it, youā€™re standing like....five feet away from her!
And I think I just shrugged at that point, because it was like, yeah, I knew it was her, but Iā€™ve been that close to her a bunch of times, so what? Sheā€™s okay I guess but sheā€™s not that great, I didnā€™t pay that much attention lol. Besides this was actually like a year ago Iā€™m pretty sure, Iā€™ve actually worked on the same set as her like twice since then I think, so.....idk. I probably just thought this was Heroes again? Whatever, it all blurs together and the director was super obnoxious, I remember now. I spent the whole shoot trying to astral project away from there.
I think that was the point where she just gave up on me and idk, knowing her she probably did a super dramatic hair toss and then tried to ignore me for the rest of the movie. Most likely while internally ranting about what a waste it is having an actor brother who doesnā€™t even care enough to let you know when heā€™s on set with her like....multiple times. To which I probably wouldā€™ve replied I canā€™t possibly be expected to keep up with her current faves, she changes celeb idols like, as often as she changes her hair color, which is a LOT. Ahem. Anyway. At one point my scene came on where I had actual lines, and I started mouthing them along with the me on screen, which I do admit in hindsight, was probably a Dick Older Brother move on my part, but whatever, she was being totally unreasonable about the whole thing, but then she gave me a Devil Glare and was like ā€œI thought you didnā€™t remember being in this movie,ā€ and I gave into the compulsion to just go full on Dick Older Brother and was like ā€œI said I didnā€™t remember the MOVIE, of course I remember my LINES, Iā€™m a professional, Ashley, godā€.
Yeah. She was irritated about that for awhile. Oh well. Siblings. What can you do, yā€™know?
But moral of the story - youā€™d think, after all that, Iā€™d at least always remember that movie after that happened.
I do not.
I think Iā€™ve told this story to a bunch of people over the years, and every single time they ask me, so what was the movie, I wanna check it out. And to this day, I STILL can not for the life of me remember the fucking title of that movie or even like, what my characterā€™s name was, and I just...never care enough to go try and hunt it down and figure it out.
Whatā€™s really bad, is I know for a FACT that multiple people Iā€™ve told this story to have then gone on to hunt it down from Panettiereā€™s IMDB page on their own, and came back to me like ā€˜was it this oneā€™ and Iā€™m always like YES! THATā€™S IT!
.....two minutes later, I have completely fucking forgotten the name of the movie again.
I SWEAR TO GOD Iā€™M NOT EVEN JOKING. This is just....my brain.

i hear u have Some Thoughts abt the UK grease tour
oh boy here we go,,, this might b long
just noticed in the programme doody is credited as doddy in one song ... doddy del fuego ok
okay so first of all sandy (danielle hope,,, i actually saw her in a tv show years ago n Rooted For Her and now here she is still successful years later im so proud ??) did the ridiculous high belty riff thing at the end of sandra dee reprise..... literally?? i was just there like ?? WOW 
sandy literally just wore yellow i mean same but what is this heathers 
also sandy & frenchy swapped shoes at some point in the show?? 
frenchy dressed like a clown and fr some reason had pink hair at the beginning & there was no mention of her messing her hair up (she was blonde during the song so???) um french what u doing (i think she was ginger at some point too?)
frenchy & sandy held hands abt four times thatā€™s GAY i love it
speaking of gay,,, marty and rizzo literall y danced together at one point n also kept affectionately telling each other to fuck off which is Very Them and ? were just kinda lowkey gay... like . lowkey but yes . good shit. 
DOODY.... literally my ? fave of the guys. he was so SMALL (ok he was like . way taller than all the girls but he was Noticeably Shorter than all the guys) and ADORABLE ,,, plus he was like ? constantly playing his guitar it was SO CUTE im literally In Love w ryan heenan sorry
i was actually invested in sandy & danny?? bc they were both more Realistic? like sandy actually tried 2 get back at danny & also when they both met again they jumped up n down and started squealing which was literally so cute i was like ā€œok i actually like them together in thisā€
rizzo was SO GOOD literally? best n most accurate version of rizzo ever? also she gave everyone the finger every five seconds which is like probably a v rizzo thing to do. also she sang worse things DIRECTLY to sandy !!! directly !! addressing !!! sandy !!! also louisa lyttonā€™s delivery of that song was just ?? literally the Greatest
they did cut freddy my love... wtf.. disappointing . really disappointing :/
marty? my favourite marty ever thank u lauren atkins i owe u my life .... she was just ? so good & like she was the Right Balance between trying to be mature & also being kinda immature at times & they made her ? a lot more In Love w romance in this rather than just ā€œhow many boys can i write to at onceā€ 
also they had a lot of 50s music in the transition inbetween scenes n they had it as if it was coming out of the radio that someone would have n then the actual ppl would sing along and it was so cute in the pyjama scene bc all the pink ladies were just singing along n i was just ?? this is so cute
roger & jan ?? were so good . both absolute dorks i love them. jan also seemed to blend in more w the pink ladies in this one & also i noticed ? none of them said anything mean abt her im :ā€™) i love my daughter thank u
suprisingly the ending was actually. doody FINALLy asking frenchy out ! that was the end (apart from the song BUT) like ?? yeS thatā€™s what iā€™m here for good content good content
sonny .... he tried so hard to be cool he was walking around w sunglasses on the whole time ???? he was actually p likeable though like he genuinely seemed to care abt everyone even tho he was like Nah I Donā€™t Care About Anyone ? love him
for some reason there were shirtless guys in shower caps in those magic changes. like they were just There. dancing around the stage. 
why was there implied patty/doody. it was literally? really weirdly implied in those magic changes... what is the Truth
patty screamed or covered her ears any time anyone mentioned anything inappropriate in front of her 
there were a bunch of other students whose names r apparently: max, jimmy, joey p, brenda, catalina, shelley m & freddie ? i donā€™t think any of them were mentioned by name but there were some great subplots going on w them o mg
rizzo sang look at me iā€™m sandra dee twice ? the first time was @ the pyjama party & then she started it again in the park scene BUT what was funny is she only sang like the first few lines n obviously rly badly so its like ? canon that rizzo canā€™t sing ? which is rly funny to me
i always forget that greased lightning literally has no place in the stage version itā€™s just There for a song w grease in the title that isnā€™t the one written for the movie (which ... was still in it anyway)
patty and the girls could like actually Cheer there was actually a couple of lifts which was p cool ,, but sandy couldnā€™t which was hilarious (& what i disliked abt grease live ok) ALSO sandy kept trying to trip patty up like those two had serious beef throughout this so it actually made the end bit where sandy is like ā€œdo u wanna get a burgerā€ way like? have more weight to it rly 
martyā€™s FACE when rizzo was like ā€œnews sure travels fastā€ she just looked so guilty n didnā€™t look at rizzo for the rest of the scene yikes marty u absolute gossip !!
eugene just kept fucking everything up he was just there like ā€œUMMM HELPā€ all the time my son... 
teen angel was too self aware n kept addressing the audience um shut the fuck up i paid for a show not to listen to u talk 
JANā€™S CANON SURNAME? AFTER SO MANY YEARS?
also jan can canonically sing bc it turns out she won a talent contest & thatā€™s the plot device for why raining on prom night happens (jan is the ā€œradio voiceā€ except sheā€™s singing it at prom)
EVERYONE IS SO PROUD OF JAN???? i l ove them 
rock and roll party queen is about rizzo??? which makes sense bc the song is about ā€œbetty jeanā€ so look we have a canon middle name for rizzo d a mn (iā€™m not just jumping to conclusions they pointed at her) ALSO this ended up being a doody/frenchy duet ?? w marty on the backing vocals & eventually everyone?? cutest ever
also ? they are not in senior year in this ?? senior year is never referenced??? however . marty & rizzo are both mentioned as being seventeen soon or not seventeen yet. yet danny clearly turned eighteen either in summer or just before? so are the tbirds seniors & the pink ladies juniors? WHO KNOWS ... plus they mention this version is in 1958 not 1959... so if we assume theyā€™re the class of 59 then theyā€™re juniors in this (w the possible exception of the boys OR danny was held back a year??? bc he would already be Old for a senior if heā€™s eighteen before september (altho i k in america thereā€™s slightly different cutoff dates + also in some versions sonny is mentioned as failing multiple times ?)
anyway please can someone bootleg this for me.... im in love w the cast ....

(in refence to this monsta x as shakespearean archetypes ask!) fjdshgkjs shh i lov u... why is k will as mephistopheles so Accurate esp no.mercy k will lmao. um u should write all of these? in fact if... if anyone has mx literary aus.... hmu...... iā€™ll n*t
another thing about that incident is that it seems like the fan doesn't think Changkyun and Jooheon undersood them?? (an extension i guess they assumed they don't understand english very well) and that's pretty problematic. it seems to me that when they didn't respond the fan assumed they didn't understand and kept repeating it, as a joke. but they literally did That to the two with the most proficient english in the group... it's rly a mess all around. it's disrespectful through and through
(in relation to that gross ā€œd*ddyā€ incident from a while ago) ik i feel like some intl fans think korea is a land completely culturally and linguistically alienated/divorced from the rest of the world or something and while cultural relativism is real to some extent... the idea that koreans are completely unaware of ~outside~ things is deeply racist. like mostly white ppl think that diasphoric poc are completely Different from them? when my mum went to the states 15 years ago some ppl literally asked her if there were newspapers in china lol...
i just randomly thought of monsta x as sesame street characters mostly bc i wanna see kihyun and wonho duke it out as bert and ernie (kihyun w/ the waste paper bin on his head and wonho asking 'where's the waste paper bin' and kihyun saying 'ask me that again and look into my eyes') and also minhyuk being elmo tbh...
JKGHKJDF PLEASe!!!! when will something like this b photoshopped... minhyuk as elmo is... spot on... i remember once elmo appeared on a now-discontinued late night talk show program i used to watch when i was in primary school and he was like ā€œelmo likes wasabi, thatā€™s why elmo has no eyebrowsā€ and idk why ive never been able to forget this????? very lmh. also this made me think of a monsta x muppets au n minhyuk is the pic of ass-gape kermit.... next post of mine will b monsta x as kermit reaction pics
Hyungkyun is such an under appreciated ship. Like, they just get each other so well? Why do people overlook it. 慠.慠 Do you have a moment that made you ship them? How would you describe their dynamic?
itā€™s bc theyā€™re intp x intj they donā€™t rly... Understand each other with minimal effort/real communication lmao itā€™s very efficient. both quiet lil darlings who arenā€™t emotionally That Open but enjoy their own little space together sometimes?? their dynamic is like... theyā€™re weird in different ways but theyā€™re v chill together. u can tell hyungwon is super fond of changkyun like he has this Expression when ck does anything at all.... i think these two rly love each otherā€™s personalities bc theyā€™re both kind/gentle/peaceful types and their overall ?? vibe is just highly compatible... theyā€™re absolute darlings... v soft together... i canā€™t think of a favourite moment but i rly rly love their birthday messages for each other last year like changkyunā€™s message for hyungwon was like ā€œur rly cool bruh ur rly such a great personā€ and hyungwonā€™s message for changkyun was rly... just him obviously doting on him n finding him cute jksfdhg i lov them a lot :(
soyou: i know how to make hair pretty :))) knetz: dirty fckn iljin why can't she be out there being being PRODUCTIVE in society by having babies and learning how to be a good wife for her future husband ://// smh how dare she be successful now when i'm stuck doing what society wants me to do but also anonymously attacking ppl i don't personally know on the internet bc THATS respectable the irony of ugly knetz is so transparent
The whole thing about Knetz and wonho's "scandalous" past reminded me of something. As a PSA to those people who are so insistent and pushy that idols aren't allowed to have sex/date/be anything but straight: Fuck all of you. You do not own these people, and if you really cared about them you'd be happy if they were happy. Like tbh, if anyone that famous and busy could also balance out a relationship at the same time, I'd be so happy for them. It really bugs me how all idols are supposed (1/2)(2/2) have this squeaky clean innocent image where they have to look and act a certain way and have these stupid fucking dating bans because once they don't meet up to that image their success suffers. Idols already give up so much privacy, and the last thing they need is millions of people scrutinizing every little thing they do. I don't even know where I started this rant from, but basically, GIVE IDOLS PRIVACY AND DONT JUDGE THEM FOR THEIR PASTS OR FOR BEING IN RELATIONSHIPS OR WHATEVER
yeth ty for highlighting the gross obsession w purity and productivity (like the first anon said -- a very confucian sort of ideal)... i donā€™t rly have anything else to add here i think. also i would fight for soyou i fact i would fight lmh who said she was his ideal type in no.mercy era... sheā€™s rly one of my faves and the way she was slandered for the hairdressing thing was one of the most ridiculous things knets ever did lmao honestly yuk
u a kihyun stan nowšŸ‘€šŸ‘€šŸ‘€
im a @fhizā€‹ stan itā€™s the same thing tbh
ahh so i saw your tags on that jh gifset! as one of the few jh stans (or maybe there are way more than i think there are lol) i rly love his "reversal charm." he has a lot of what i lack as a person: a strong presence and a lot of confidence! i respect him so much as a person alth i rag on him a lot LMAO. sorry if this is a bit long winded but i just rly wanted to put this out there ;;
this is rly cute i lov hearing ppl talk abt their faves lovingly it rly... Heals Me. i think itā€™s strange how underappreciated jooheon is in this fandom especially bc heā€™s usually the one who catches ur eye first bc heā€™s so hyped by starship as being a one-in-a-million talented rapper u know? and he rly shines in mvs and no.mercy but............. y does he have the least fansites jkfhdg ?? youā€™re v right abt the reversal charm thing but i feel like sometimes itā€™s very overdone like... on lots of shows heā€™s asked to do aegyo when rly he should be asked to... idk... rap or dance or something?? i actually think jooheon is the most serious member of monsta x sometimes bc he seems to have a sense that heā€™s.. the pillar of mx if that makes sense? and thatā€™s why heā€™s always pushing himself and working tirelessly like he feels very Responsible for this group, more than anyone else. idk if that makes sense!!! i love him and i want him to... unwind a bit bc sometimes he looks so stressed and tired but he still feels the need to pretend to be energetic like my heart rly hurts for him :/ this got so emo im sry i do rly love to hear that u respect him sm i love jooheon stans :(
i can see what u mean about jooheon being 1 of the most masculine. (iirc u also talked abt kihyun being that in a post a while ago) like with his face and his physique he really is striking; his body=like that slim,upside-down Y that you'd learn to draw men w/ in Anatomy 101 , but i think.. ,--not that u asked, but,, i think the jury's still out on if he's comfortable w his masculinity with the way he acts feminine lyk misogynistic comedians Can sound like dead ringers for women,? idk & i take +
(not sure if there was a 2nd part to this? thereā€™s nothing else in my inbox so iā€™m sry if there was and tumblr ate it) yeth i think i meant that his demeanor is the most ~~masculine~~ whereas i think kihyun is still the most... idk... mature-masculine?? if tht makes sense, and i definitely agree w u on that second point! i didnā€™t think of that at the time but now that i... do... think abt it... ur right and also the way he comes back from it by putting on the >swag demeanor again in an attempt to polarise it is definitely a bit šŸ‘€šŸ‘€šŸ‘€ he probably doesnā€™t want to risk his Manly Rapper Image for real u kno? that said itā€™s ingrained in kpop that behaving cute --> ā€œgirlyā€ entails that sort of ā€œcomedicā€ high-pitched voice + compact body language etc.... like iā€™m not condoning that ofc but i definitely think itā€™s broader than this particular case! :/ hm
maybe i'd be doing better in school if i could major in kihyunology ;~; i stan him but i def think we still don't know much about him even after all this time after debut. especially when i look at him compared to wonho who wears his heart on his sleeve (bless him i love wonho sm, gotta protect this bun at all costs!!)...but ya it just makes me wanna learn more about him like who is the real kihyun??
i want to write a kihyun meta when i have time... i feel like i Get him a bit more these days but itā€™s also very hard to put into words bc u kno when u kinda sorta mb get some1 but itā€™s a feeling rather than anything conveniently expressable gkjdhfjk.... idk if anyone wants to send in some Kihyun Thoughts + Meta feel free! :>> i donā€™t think heā€™s actually... as complex as we sometimes make him out to be lol like his behaviour is actually kind of predictable? more on his later
wait is the february comeback actually true? ugh i'm so conflicted cuz on one hand i'm excited if there's really gonna be a full length album, but i also think they need more rest but then there's the matter of getting their first win and idk i'm super psyched but i'm also worried that the boys are being overworked
i still feel like they had a comeback like yesterday lol like looking at their schedules stresses me out bc they do so much..... im glad wonho got to go to his mumā€™s cafe recently tho! all we can do is have faith in them rn and when itā€™s time... stream, buy things if ur able to, spread the news and the hype etc. i am definitely Worried abt some things like the competition theyā€™re up against but.... gotta have faith u kno... and i feel like all active idols are kind of... permanently worked very hard but i think currently only jooheon and shownu are a bit Overloaded. also has the date been confirmed yet... itā€™s february already...
