zach and jess's outfits in heartbeat hospital are unironically some of my favorite costumes in musical theatre ever. its about the drama. the boldness. how jess's shirt matches her eyeshadow and how the patterns on zach's shirt are vaguely reminiscent of bloodstains. its about how the deep red of jess's lipstick and the deep red of zach's trousers match. heartbeat hospital is a masterpiece on so many levels but especially the outfits

sometimes, dear reader, i am a freak (i mimic zach reino’s vocal patterns and cadence to a t without being prompted. it’s like impressions but Not Fun.)

Matthew’s mom in We Object to Fear doesn’t get enough attention from the “in love with Jess McKenna” community. They won’t object to a brand new friend??? Adorable. Incredible. You’re smart and prose-cute.

Okay I talk about PFT/Nicole Parker Play it By Ear episode but now I really wanna see a Make Some Noise with Jess/Zach/Paul. Not even a karaoke episode. I wanna see them do scenes, they’re so funny

rewatching the first karaoke night (shut up i love zach reino okay) and noticing that both he and jess immediately hold up the karaoke binder to show it off in the same way across episodes.
