The holy quintuplet of dynamics

starkid has such a talent for writing straight couples. like they’re really getting me invested in a man and a woman. i respect them so much.

fuck it I made these when I was bored

ive seen so many people wondering how starkid makes such good straight couples (lautski, paulkins, etc), but i think we really need to talk about this.

in a lot of todays modern media, shows centered around straight couples are heavily focused on the sexuality of it. while they may take a few episodes to flesh out a small pining story, starkid takes that to a whole new level.

let's look at lautski for example; our first introduction (I KNOW HE WAS IN TGWDLM AND BF I DONT CARE HE WASN'T TRULY INTRODUCED UNTIL NMT) to pete and steph was nmt2's episode, 'abstinence camp'. sure, we know that sexuality played a big part in this episode, but if you pay close attention, you know that nothing ever actually happens between steph and pete, they get caught by lumberaxe and then boy jerry before they can do anything.

before then, though, we get a back story of them meeting, it's shown how steph likes him for his little quirks and oddities, and how pete is happy that someone took the time to get to know that about him. before they join showers, they talk for what feels like forever, going back and forth.

however, in nerdy prudes must die AND the guy who didn't like musicals BOTH, neither of the couples even kiss, they get close but they don't. even npmd which centers around two high school seniors over the course of a few months, not even a peck on the cheek. HOWEVER, in scenes like the summoning, we can see steph and pete both trying to hide the other behind themselves.

in tgwdlm, paul sends himself into the theater to go take down the meteor so emma has some hopes of a life.

while it's implied that they love the other in a romantic sense, it's never outright said, because you don't make romantic bonds in the situations they were in!! they made the romantic connections before the actual plot of the musical gets started!! they're so close and care so much because of the shit they went through together!!

the reason why we're so captivated by straight couples from starkid is that they don't have to be couples to show how close they are and how much they care, because at the end of the day the lang brothers know that a bond is deepest when it's pure. if you care for someone enough, you'd do anything to keep them happy, even if it isn't with you.

what is it with hatchetfield and straight autistic couples

[dontmixpaintinyourcoffee]

Ok but the Beanie's scene in NPMD is so fucking funny. Like "If I Loved You" is all good fun, but zoom out into the full context of the scene and it's SO funny. Picture it- You're Emma Perkins, and this dude who comes in basically every day has finally found an excuse to give you his number. It's clunky, but it's cute, and the guy seems nice enough, so you start chatting and then this fucking kid yells at the top of his lungs at you about his hot chocolate. Asshole takes it and nervously thanks you, then he sits down with who you're pretty sure is the mayor's kid? Whatever, none of your business, so you turn back to Paul and try to have a conversation but you can't focus because these fucking teenagers won't shut up this is not a very big shop they know they are very audible right??? Cut back over to the teens in question and they are INSISTING, VERY LOUDLY, that they DO NOT like each other and in fact they're NOT even real friends and the other one should GO AWAY! But also every time they start trying to intimidate or prove a point they immediately have to turn around in the middle of the argument because they're beet fucking red, and the girl is literally fanning herself and the dude is doing a double take at the wall every time they make eye contact But NO!!! THEY DON'T!! THEY DON'T LIKE EACH OTHER EVEN A LITTLE BIT!!!
