#you cannot understandv the impact this has on me

[cynidae]

I am currently freaking out over the guy in the middle because I didn’t realize he was an internet thing. (As you can tell I am not a very internet person).

Six or so months ago, I was working in the sets department on A Midsummer Night’s Dream. All was well, except for the vandals. The awkward little hallway room my sets department is in has two entrances. (A) through the rest of the green room, from a corner of the school through a locked door and to the room. Or, (B) from the random push door leading out of the most populated and accessible staircase in school into a meager little hallway with two entrances and one exit that leads outside, where you must patiently wait for someone to open the other automatically locking door and let you into the sets room.

After me and another friend got locked in said awkward little hallway minutes before a performance last play and frantically called/texted to be let out, we sets folks taped some cardboard over the locking door/sets entrance so it could no longer lock. Meaning we had a straight shot from the best staircase into our little room, which was super helpful! One thing we forgot to take into account: the class skippers.

turns out that locked-from-the-wrong-side door and awkward little hallway was a popular place to skip class. We had just given the class skippers full access to our room (and the entire green room, but that’s mostly costumes and was their problem bc they’re kinda rude so). And what did these lovely people do? They stole our scissors. Hid our sixteen different lime green box cutters across the room. Someone started sorting our screws, and then someone else messed it up. But one person in particular. Took our giant red sharpie. And went over to our peg wall of tools. And wrote, in huge words, I love sprite cranberry on it. (Also something else in black but I forgot it)

See, those people ruined our nice board. We had nothing against sprite cranberry, but we don’t stand for vandalism. So one of the heads did the only reasonable thing and covered it with blue painter’s tape and drew- you guessed it- the guy in the middle of this photo with the words ‘go sets’ next to it.

He became the ‘go sets guy.’ He was our unofficial mascot. I thought th sets head made him up, because this was the kind of stupid thing that he would draw. We even drew him on the middle of one of the platforms we made during the performance to scare the actors on prank night.

and here I was, scrolling on tumblr, happily reading writing memes, when I found out.

The Go Sets Guy isn’t just the Go Sets Guy.
