4 5 11 + l2c :)

4. What's your favorite line of dialogue?

It's hard to pick a single favorite, but this is one of them. (Im using the term "line of dialogue" loosely, as you can see lol)

Zoe raised an eyebrow. “Can’t we get mad at him when it’s his fault we have no way of contacting Veronica and Heather?”

“Hey!” Jared stabbed a finger at her. “You didn’t grab the stupid flares either, Shit Princess!”

“I didn’t think you’d forget something as important as our rescue signal! Forgive me for having faith in you for once!”

He groaned. “Ya know, it’s backhanded shit like that that Connor would say to you that would make him the asshole. But nooo, you say it to me and I ‘had it comin’.’” He let out a scoff. “Fuck’s sake, you really are your brother’s sister.”

Fire roared behind Zoe’s eyes. “What the fuck does that mean?”

Rich slammed a fist on the table. “Hey, moronth! Howzabout you fight to the death after we figure out how the fuck we’re gonna get outta thith hellhole!”

—Chapter 23 (Hard Rain Part 5)

5. What part was hardest to write?

Aside from uneventful traveling and hordes as I mentioned, I think getting Rich's distrust of Jeremy across was harder simply because I spent the least time in his head out of all the Survivors. Like. It's there. But I feel like I could've emphasized it more in other ways.

Rich made slow work of getting ammo and supplies together as Jake fought with a piss poor internet connection, finding his eyes following Jeremy more than normal. He found himself doing that a lot since the whole cleaver thing at Whispering Oaks, and even more since finding out Jeremy was a carrier. He just… Rich couldn’t keep his back turned to him for very long at a time. He watched his mouth whenever Michael or the Elevator Incident could’ve been brought up, not risking breaking the camel’s back and giving Jeremy a reason - an excuse - to turn on him.

—Chapter 20 (Hard Rain Part 2)

11. What do you like most about this fic?

I think a detail I really like is showing bits of dialogue that rub off on other characters, because that's bound to happen when you're living through the apocalypse with each other. I'll try to pick out as many examples as I can

—"Oh shut up." "I didn't say anything." // Chapters 4, 19, 24, and 27

Dead Center Part 3 / Hard Rain Part 1 / The Parish Part 1 / The Parish Part 3

—"If we die, we die" (specifically the actual instances when it's used as a "plan" and not just when it's referred to. Technically it's used in Hard Rain Part 5 but it's framed as "either zombies or hypothermia kills us" instead) // Chapters 13, 25, and 28

Dark Carnival Part 5 / The Parish Part 2 / The Parish Part 4

⚠️And spoilers for Chapter 25 on (The Parish Part 2–The Parish Part 5)

—"We already know this is fucking impossible, so let's just do it." // Chapters 13, 15, 20, 26 and 29

Dark Carnival Part 5 / Swamp Fever Part 2 / Hard Rain Part 2 / Cold Stream Crash Course / The Parish Part 5

[ya-what--ya-erster]

i love deh but- the book could have literally been this:

”I wanna go climb a tree then fall out then break my arm, pretend to be friends with a dead boy who committed suicide, ruin the lives of everyone involved. Then get together with the dead kids sister and- oop. I screwed up and broke her but I would have banged with her if I had the chance.”

Guys this is for real I love the book and I love the show but that is the whole freakin story

[nothingunrealistic]

prompt 49

49. “Why do you insist on it?”

Dear Evan Hansen,

At the new facility. They took my phone at intake. So much for “tranquility.” I’m typing on my suitemates’ secret iPhone 6. They let me borrow it if I agreed to suck —

“Really?”

“What?” Jared pouts. It might work better if it wasn’t over FaceTime, on Evan’s secondhand iPhone, propped up against his thirdhand laptop. “I was going to say ‘suck eggs for their grandmas.’”

“No, you weren’t.”

“Whatever.”

Hey, before I go, I wanted to know: did you check with Jared Kalwani — the genius sound tech Jared Kalwani — to see if he can hang out? ‘Cause I have no doubt he’d be a great friend to me too —

“Okay, no, Jared.” Evan hits Ctrl-A and deletes the half-written email. “That doesn’t work.”

“That was a literary masterpiece. How does it not work?”

“Well, the rehab stuff is, it’s too depressing.”

“Yeah. It’s rehab.”

“The Murphys won’t want to read it. And you can’t keep trying to write yourself in. This is, like, the third time.”

“Why do you insist on it being all shiny happy codependency? Your friendship was so special and perfect that he didn’t even want to talk to anyone else?”

“Yes. That’s the story. We were best friends. I was his only friend.” Evan scratches his left arm, no longer broadcasting the best possible proof of that story. “You can’t just change it.”

“Uh-huh.” Jared’s eyes move over him, and Evan can tell he saw the scratching. “You do remember how this story ends, right?”

“What do you mean?”

“Evan,” Jared says. “Dude. Connor’s dead. And it’s not because his life was going great. Everyone knows that.”

“So?”

“So people will expect to read the tormented musings of a guy in a downward spiral. Not rainbows and butterflies and tree facts to the very end. Maybe they haven’t thought of it yet, but they’ll get there.”

“That’s awful.”

“That’s the human condition. Rubbernecking and being glad it’s not you.”

“Just because you decided to put the emails online —”

“Because Alana told me to, after you begged me to run the Connor Project website —”

“It’s not that simple, okay? Things are messy and complicated, it’s, recovery is nonlinear —”

“Oh, good, someone’s reading the Mental Health Resources page after all. And here I told our glorious co-founder it was a waste of server space.”

“I just want to help the Murphys,” Evan says. That’s all he’s wanted to do, from the moment Mrs. Murphy first mentioned the orchard. It has to be. “That’s the point of all this. I don’t care what people online think.”

“You mean the people giving you all that money to build an orchard for Connor? You’re sure you don’t care what they think? Only about cheering up your fake family and your very real girlfriend?”

“I told you, we’re not — Zoe and I are just friends.”

“Totally. You’ve got a lot of friends these days.”

“Yeah,” Evan says. “It’s pretty nice. You should try it.”

Jared vanishes from the call, and Evan is left staring at the empty Google Doc on his laptop and his own reflection in his phone screen. Alone.

Until Zoe’s texts come in.

Larry is making dinner tonight

His cooking is actually edible

That sounds great

Not that I don’t like your mom’s cooking, but you know

Yeah, I know

See you soon

[milksteakkk]

can i ask for show details..... in general but also specifically the costuming for forever reprise did evan and connor still wear the same jacket eyes emoji

yes you can ask for show details !!!

from what i remember, evan and connor do not wear the same jacket in for forever reprise :( connor wears the same thing throughout the whole show which kind of disapponted me but it was only a small thing

sincerely me was the best visually !! pretty sure they used choreography from the movies sincerely me which was the only part of the movie that i liked so yeah :) good stuff

ive already said but sincerely me was soo gay, like they really played into the whole "secret gay high school lovers" joke and it was great lmao

connor literally blew evan a kiss and then evan caught it and put it in his pocket. i know what you are. they were also alot more touchy w each other than the broadway edition like dancing w each other, hugging hand holding etc. it was great lol big win for treebros enjoyers

THE SETS WERE AMAZING.. so much more vibrant and detailed !! during the video calls between evan and jared, jared has an rgb pc gamer setup and i think thats so in character

more on the sets, the murphys kitchen set had cupboards, a kitchen counter and fridge as well as the dinner table set which i thought was really cool

there were extras to make the school scenes feel more full which i loved (they had choreography for wtaw and ywbf and it was very bmc broadway esque /pos)

jared pretended to aggressively jerk off against a locker when he makes his iconic entrance which is smth that stuck in my mind for some reason

all of zoes outfits absolutely devoured

all of theirs did tbh. giving everyone in the costume department a big fat kiss

speaking of costumes, evan wears lots of red in act 2 which i see as a win for kleinsen nation

during sincerely me reprise connor and jared straight up slam their pelvises together. i swear to god they were a millimetre away from actual dick on dick contact but tbh i was sat super high up so they couldve actually touched idk. but i know kleinphy nation is struggling so i thought id mention this

after jared calls connor a freak and walks off, connor turns and glares at him. jared then shits himself and scampers off stage which i thought was really funny

during evans speech, zoe cynthia and larry were sat off to the side watching him. cynthia started tearing up and zoe takes her hand and comforts her and i just. oughhh murphy family bonding save me

evans version of connor was so lively and bouncy !! the first time we see him he literally springs out from behind the kitchen counter evan is sat at

evan during words fail was so devastating. hearing the way he sobbed after the murphys walk off stage was broke my heart :(

when fake connor confronts him on how he broke his arm he sounded so small. pretty sure i heard his voice break

connor drew a little smiley face in the second o of his name when he wrote on evans cast :)

overall incredible show !! probably one of my favourite versions that ive seen. this is everything i can remember right now but i will add more if i remember anything else. thanks for giving me the opportunity to talk about it !!

[pinklemonslices]

it really chaps my ass when i see dear evan hansen characters get severely misunderstood

jared kleinman is not just the “kinky bathbomb kid”, he is deeply insecure and masks it with jokes and fake confidence

alana beck is not a brat, she, like evan, has high functioning anxiety and is truly trying to help

zoe murphy isn’t entitled, she is a grieving sister trying to come to terms with the death of her brother (who did not treat her very well)

connor murphy isn’t edgy/emo, he’s fucking depressed and struggling with his untreated mental health issues (and he is not innocent)

and evan hansen isn’t an “uwu pure bean”, he has anxiety. really bad anxiety. not to mention he is certainly not innocent in any way, shape, or form

i would do the parents too but 1. they’re so overlooked that they’re hardly even mentioned to begin with 2. i’m sick of typing. i would also go into more detail, but you get the point. it just rubs me the wrong way so much, like did we even watch the same musical/read the same book??

Welcome to Virtue

So I cannot sing the praises of Murphy Lawless (in this case writing as Zoe Chant) as an author enough. I thoroughly enjoyed the Gladiator Shifters books, but coming back to the beginning of the Virtue Shifters series, I was absolutely delighted. Why? The writing, for one, but for this book specifically? The main character is a mid-30s single mother with a four year old. I was PSYCHED to have an FMC who wasn't 20 with a mint-condition uterus. (See, Miss America Pageant??? Women who are older and who have kids are AWESOME and have VALUE.) As a 30-something myself who has been rapidly noticing her protagonists seem younger by the year, this was a breath of fresh air and a delightful change.

And ngl, hot late-30s guy with washboard abs who the four year old trusts and loves? Excuse me while I fangirl squee over how awesome this is. Let's talk Timber Wolf.

Mabs and Noah Brannigan escape Noah's deadbeat, dickhead sperm donor to live in an inherited heritage home in Virtue--an old, New England shifter town. Unfortunately, the home is in desperate need of restoration and Mabs is basically broke and trying to DIY something that really and truly needs a professional while wrangling an almost supernaturally active four year old.

Thats about when Jake Rowly rocks back into town nursing a broken heart and kickass carpentry skills. He and Mabs are aggressively set up by a mutual friend, and the pair work together to restore the house and make it safe for Mabs and Noah to live in.

When Mabs's ex shows up looking to either take her back or take Noah away from her, Jake is standing firmly behind Mabs, letting her find the confidence that her gaslighting dickhead of an ex did his best to quash, and protecting Noah. And as a fun side effect of all of this, they manage to uncover a murderous realtor and a literal fortune stuffed inside an old mattress that neatly solves Mabs's financial troubles.

Groundbreaking? Not particularly. Fun? Absolutely. Warm and cozy? You bet! If ever you want a snuggly romance that isn't a couple of single twenty-somethings, this is a great one to start with. I particularly love that despite the genre, Mabs is over here rebuilding her own confidence with support, rather than having Jake's existence just magic it back. Their conversations about what Mabs does and does not want Jake to do are amazing and really sweet. Not to mention the situational comedy of trying to fall in love while keeping things G-rated for the rambunctious child in the house that this book does beautifully.

I rarely have a lot to say about the Virtue Shifter books, but thats more because they're adorable and snuggly and I adore them than anything else. So if you're looking for a cozy shifter romance, you cannot go wrong by picking up this series.

Ok so I finally watched Dear Evan Hansen the movie like, 3 years after it came out (I know I know I’m late) but I feel like my review may be worth sharing so here it is… 3 years later :)

Dead Evan Hansen (2021) Directed by Stephen Chbosky

TW!! Mentions of depression, su!cide and anxiety

⚠️SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT ⚠️

Dead Evan Hansen is a six time Tony award winning musical that was adapted from the book by Steven Levenson that’s has since been adapted again into a movie.

The story is about Evan Hansen that struggles with depression and social anxiety that is so bad he can even order pizza on his own. He has an assignment from his therapist to write an encouraging letter to himself. Somehow that letter ends up in the hands of Conner Murphy, the school outcast. Assuming that this was some joke letter for Conner to find (because of some mentions of his sister Zoe) he takes it and it’s seen for a few days. Turns out Conner committed suicide and his family assume that the letter that he had was his last note for Evan, leading them to believe that Evan is Conners “best and most dearest friend”. For the rest of the story Evan has to keep up this facade of being Conners friend to keep the peace.

I totally recommend watching the movie, musical, reading the book, or listening to the soundtrack to fully get the story if you don’t already.

I did take some notes about the movie while I was watching it so here are a few:

The original opening song isn’t there…

The character portrayals are good I think

The new song “Anonymous ones” is just 🤌🏾 chefs kiss

Kinda interesting how Larry is the Stepfather in this one

Fannon Conner meeting Cannon Conner with the music writing I loveee

A few songs are missing

You will be found will never fail to make me cry like a baby

Evan has some character development 👍🏾

Characters

Evan:

Quite an interesting character in terms of the decisions he makes. In every iteration he ends up going all in on lying to not only Conner ms Family but also the friends that he makes AND his mom. For most of the move she doesn’t even know what the Murphy’s were doing for Evan. A lot of people (myself included) don’t think that someone with this severe of anxiety would pull some stunt like this and keep it going for so long. I think he would have ended it sooner but that’s just my opinion.

Conner:

What’s so interesting about Conner in every retell of this story is that we don’t even know what he’s like. Like at all. We only know the fabricated Conner that Evan makes up for the same of his lie. He’s only on screen as the real real Conner for what 25-30 mins of the entire movie? We get so see a little bit of Conner through Mrs. Murphy but it’s only what she remembers of him. (I’m fully convinced she’s a “boy mom” but that’s just me) I have no idea if Conners character gets fleshed out in the books, but from everything else he basically is an anonymous person that we as a fandom have actually created also and I think that’s kinda the whole point of the character.(wow props to the author for real)

Alana:

I really love Alana’s characterization in this movie. Her being so dedicated to her cause of making people feel known and loved because she also feels that way is honestly kinda beautiful. Actually she was so committed to it that she shared what she thought was Conners last letter to Evan on instagram, just to get some money for ‘The Conner Project’(mental health awareness project). Her new song ‘ Anonymous Ones’ also adds to her motives also I think.

Zoe:

Zoe is Conners sister but, it definitely feels like she doesn’t like being his sister. For the majority of the story she talks down on Connor even after realizing everything that he went through, she still asked Evan to stop talking about Conner as they started dating. (which I think was the start of Evan’s downfall—like he is literally immersed in the Murphys life as their new son and he almost forgets about him.) Like I said she does have some kind of emotional breakthrough in ‘You will be found’ but that got overrides quite quickly. It makes sense though, she didn’t have the greatest relationship with Connor, and even after he died. It was only after Evan admitted to the less when she really felt the gravity of the situation which I thought was a good point to add(or maybe I’m over thinking it and it wasn’t intentional who knows 🤷🏾‍♀️)

The Adults (Mr and Mrs Murphy & Ms Hansen):

The adults play an interesting role in this story, mostly because they aren’t the main focus not even the Murphys. Evan’s struggle with being truthful is the main point of the story, but all of the adults kind of aid his points of progress. Ms Hansen acting as the voice of reason and the Murphys being a constant reminder of Evan’s lie.

Mrs Murphy is fully convinced from the start that Evan was Connor’s friend because of her attachment to him. We learn in this film that even when he was going through substance abuse and extreme aggression, she was still holding on to the younger Connor. That’s where her version of Connor comes from. Mr Murphy seems the be the least phased about Connor’s death besides Zoe, at least at first. Then during the scene that replaced ‘To break in a glove’ he breaks down reminiscing about Connor’s younger years, he finally lets himself feel the grief of loosing his son.

Ms Hansen doesn’t even know what is going on in her son’s life but she is still quite supportive of him. She encourages him to genuinely make friends and to take his therapy assignments seriously because she wants to see him grow.

The Movie

Ok the real reason I wanted to take a look at and review this movie is because of the public backlash it is getting. I’ve seen a lot of things saying that it was bad because of either the performances, the casting choices (particularly Ben Platt reprising his role as Evan looking like a grown man) or even just the characterization. My honest opinion, it’s kinda good, and I’m not saying that just because I biased to musicals (even though I am-). I’m of the idea that real stories are good stories. Why don’t think that the musical received 6 Tony awards? The movie follows the musical quite closely, give or take a few songs and other things(even though I think ‘good for you’ should have stayed because it really brings to light how Evan lying to like everyone really affected people instead of watering it down like the movie yes Evan does realize the gravity of the situation and try to find people that actually knew Connor but it’s not the same). Many of the things that people don’t like about the film were already in the musical. Most people didn’t like Evan’s decision to continue the lie, some of the apathy coming from Zoe, the demonization(for lack of a better word) of Connor’s mental illness, etc. The thing is all of the elements were already in the musical. Even if this was a stand alone film, it’s still ok cause like I said I think that real stories are good stories. All of the feelings that Zoe feels, the decisions Evan makes(albeit slightly out of character) everything is a reflection of real emotions and that is pretty cool to me. So dislike it all you want but it is what it is🤷🏾‍♀️ [as for the other songs it was fine without them but I still think they should have been included because they help push the story forward.

Yea the Musical is obviously better and yea the movie itself could have use some work and some casting changes(I’m looking at you Ben Platt—a grown man playing a 17/18 y/o—i mean if you want to change the whole cast and not bring the OBC back COMMIT) but it’s not as bad as it could been. And believe me there are plenty bad musical to movie productions.

Oh man I procrastinated getting this out for so long but here it is. Also I’m finally out of school so there should be more frequent updates hopefully. Anyways tell me if you agree or disagree on the comments and one thing you would change about the movie :)

Need a say more?) ⦁ Space Sweepers 2021 (A great Korean film 8/10! I liked it very much I just don't know why it took me so long to watch it) ⦁ Game of Death 1978 (A gripping action film starring the late martial artist Bruce Lee makes this another classic to watch) ⦁ Shaolin Soccer 2001 (Another fun comedy from Stephen Chow, the same director that gave us Kung Fu Hustle. This movie is equally hilarious) ⦁ Solo: A Star Wars Story 2018 (There are so many Star Wars movies and I enjoyed all of them but there are just too many to mention) ⦁ Star Trek 2009 (A solid movie in my opinion and a great franchise) ⦁ Letters To Juliet 2010 (I got to see this in the cinema and thought it was such a sweet rom-com) ⦁ Thor Ragnarok 2017 (Yes, I liked the first Thor movie, but I liked Ragnarok more)

We have finally reached a conclusion! Phew, it felt like that list went on forever! That was my version of memorable movies to watch, and I am quite satisfied with my selection. I added a lot more older movies to my list because I felt like they were better back then. Every new release that I've watched recently has fallen short of my expectations, the quality is just not the same as it was back then. Every time I watch a new movie it just feels like something is missing. Maybe my standards are just too high. I will say I am picky person when it comes to what I watch and invest my time in hence I've decided to stay away from films for now. I will stick to watching tv shows and hopefully 2024 has better options for us this year. If a new movie does however pique my interest, I will be sure to rave about it to everyone.

Thanks for reading and take care!

Left 2 Chill Chapter 21 (Hard Rain Part 3)

[izaacs-notdeadyet]

Random Dear Evan Hansen fun facts from the book!

( might contain some spoilers, will also probably make a part two)

Evan is actually Evan’s middle name, his first name is Mark, named after his father

Evan is a Pisces

Evans mom is really interested in horoscopes

Evan has a map in his room of all the trails he wants to go to

Evan removed all the pins from the map accept for West Maroon Trail in Colorado

I forget if this was mentioned in the musical but Jared is in-fact Jewish

Jared’s last name Kleinman appears to be of German descent

Evan wears his underwear under his swimwear, Jared has informed him that is in fact, not normal.

Jared outfit description!!! “ He acts like he’s the shit, but it’s not totally convincing. His tortoiseshell glasses and beach bum shirts don’t quite fit him right, and the oversized headphones he keeps around his neck aren’t even plugged in “

Jared usually sits by himself at lunch and codes on his laptop

Connor has blue eyes that are covered by overgrown hair

Zoe plays guitar, she has a blue electric guitar ( with clouds on the straps I think?) at home, but I’m unsure if she just plays normal guitar for her jazz band

Zoe draws stars on the cuffs of her jeans

In the book Zoe actually dyes blue streaks in her hair!

Evan eats sunbutter instead of normal peanut butter on his PB&J

Connor has read To Kill a Mocking bird

Connor room tour? More likely then you think: This is the double bed that Connor Murphy slept in. The wooden floor his boots scuffed up. The white walls he did his best smother. Standing out amid movie and band posters, homemade works of art, Any joke award ribbon that says “ I put on pants today “ Is a close-up photo of a hand with its middle finger extended. The middle fingers is painted black With tiny white lettering on it. Only when you press your face up close to the photo you can read what the white letters say: BOO!

Evan room tour? More likely then you think: Besides the obvious differences in his bedroom and mine, my bed is half the size, my floors are carpeted, and Mt walls are painted light green. there are some striking similarities. Nowhere in this room is a single hint of anything sports related I’ve always felt out of step with the kids my age for having zero interest in playing on watching sports also like me Connor has shelves crammed with books

hi! usually scared to send asks to people but i would like to hear your connor headcanons because i want to know the lore behind all of your extremely pretty connor drawings

HII omg dont be !! pls feel free to send stuff whenever !! ok so i have TONS of connor hc’s ( i’ve been writing as him & for him for years now ) but here’s my faves + the ones that are usually present in my art . ( gotta mention that some are very personal & self indulgent bc i see myself in connor a LOT 😭 ) tw for a quick mention of razors .

- i made a post abt this hc here but i’m adding it because it’s the main reason why i use a certain color for connor’s hair , & that is that connor is a ginger ( just like zoe & cynthia ) & he dyes his hair a darker color so he doesn’t look much like them ( & he doesn’t get associated with zoe much at school ) he usually uses a dark brown or even black , but it’s usually very sloppy so his hair ends up being patchy in some areas or just not dark enough .

- connor uses he / they pronouns mostly bc they’re very detached to his gender identity because they don’t feel human most of the time . connor looks in the mirror & doesn’t think ‘ boy ‘ , most of the time he thinks ‘ failure ‘ , ‘ disappointment ‘ , ‘ monster ‘ . he’s also unlabeled & mostly finds male presenting ppl attractive but has been with female presenting ppl a few times . ( i’ll mostly use he / him in tags but in my writing i will use both set of pronouns ! )

- ik freckles have been a recurring headcanon for connor throughout the years in the fandom but i wanna add it too bc his freckles mean so much to me . a connor without freckles is like an angel without its wings likeee ! ( i usually add freckles to charas that i like tho ) they are usually more present over his cheeks , shoulders & chest . some on his hands & thighs too . for a while , connor fucking HATED them , & i once wrote a lil thing where he even tried to remove a particularly big one near his lip w a razor . ( i add it to my drawings a lot , if you check it’s above the right ( his left ) corner of his lip )

- his hair length varies a lot in my stuff bc i’ll sometimes get carried away & make it longer for aesthetic or composition purposes , but i do believe connor would def let it get longer than shoulder length ( not small of his back like in some of my stuff , but definitely to half of his chest maybe ? ) larry def gives him shit abt it & only encourages him to keep it longer & longer .

- this is also a recurring hc but imma mention it too & that’s eyeliner . & tons of it . i’ll sometimes make it smudged bc connor will prob cry & it’ll run . once he’s done he’ll just apply more over it . & black nail polish too ofc .

- I LOVEEEE music headcanons for connor & here’s my faves ( keep in mind my connor is mostly set in the 90’s )

• nine inch nails ( very self indulgent bc i love them sm ) his fave album is pretty hate machine ( mine too 🧍🏻)

• alice in chains

• cowboy junkies ( this hc is a reference to my ship with tate from ahs & the movie natural born killers )

• the offspring

• the cranberries

• suicidal tendencies ofc

• pearl jam

• adolescents

• bad religion

• & the canon ones ( shown in the buttons on his messenger bag ) being dead kennedys , circle jerks , misfits

obviously tons more ( my connor playlist has over 200 songs ok ) but these are the most present ones in his record collection <3

- born in april 20 & is an INFP ( idk shit abt the mbti stuff ok i had to ask a friend & stuff to figure it out LMFAOO this one sounds right tho , for my version for connor at least )

SO YEAH these are the ones that can be seen in my art ( besides the music one ) & ofc if i added all my hcs it would be impossible to scroll down thru this post 💀 tysm for asking this btw ! just so u know my connor art is under the tag ‘ connor murphy ac ‘ & i sometimes add part of the lore & hcs under them ! if u wanna know a specific one lmk i’ll be more than happy to share more of my silly lil hcs with u 🖤🫶

while we’re on the subject, here’s steven levenson’s entire preliminary cast list for deh, from 2011:

November 7, 2011 at 10:16 PM

BANFF NOTES

EVAN, 17. Desperate to be seen, noticed, to prove he’s not a loser to his dad and to everyone else. Has never had a girlfriend, never spoken really to a girl. Not good at much. Afraid of life. He works at a coffee shop (or restaurant) after school to make money. He’s always been in love with Becca.

EVAN’S BEST FRIEND, 17. Fellow loser. Funny. Bossy. Jonah Hill to Michael Cera.

BECCA, 16. Love interest. Junior. Younger sister of deceased. Great student, great person, destroyed by the news of her brother’s death and even more destroyed by the insipid response to it by people who barely knew him. She comes to think Evan is the only one who understands her, and who truly shares her pain.

EVAN’S DAD. Checked out. Has a new young family. He’s been hit hard by the recession and no longer has the money to bankroll Evan’s college education.

EVAN’S MOM. Working hard to make ends meet, but a bit of a wreck. Too frazzled to notice Evan.

AMERICAN HISTORY TEACHER. The voice of reason. New to school, new to Portland. Recent college grad maybe? Believes in hard work and discipline, not interested in telling students how special they are. Unimpressed by Evan.

ENGLISH TEACHER. Terrible. Crunchy.

BECCA’S MOM.

BECCA’S DAD.

BECCA’S CURRENT BOYFRIEND.

BECCA’S BEST FRIEND.

PLUS THREE ENSEMBLE STUDENTS. Evan’s dad and English teacher are doubled, so 13 actors — 8 kids, 5 adults.

(some points of interest: evan’s dad and two teachers are fleshed-out characters, but the murphy parents are nondescript; connor’s not listed as a character or even mentioned by name, which was “dennis” at this point; zoe has a boyfriend and a best friend, and there are ensemble students, but no alana; set in portland for some reason)

since I didn't make the decision to get Tumblr till after watching Dear Evan Hansen, here's some things I remember from watching it even though it's been 5 months:

during waving through a window I was very very confused because one minute jared is a calling connor a freak, then connor pushes evan, and then for some fucking reason evan is just like tapping the air followed by "waving through a window" and I'm just like: did I miss something? what window? 😭😭

sincerely me had me cackling but in my head it was so random but was amazing considering it was the first time I heard it

"YOU KISSED ZOE MURPHY ON HER BROTHERS BED? AFTER HE DIED?!?!" pablo (current jared)'s delivery of this sentence bro 😭💀

you will be found was the most overwhelming shit ever, there was a speaker behind me and my mom bought tickets kinda late so we were at the top and anytime a light flashed up it was on my face. I loved it but my god I was struggling

sincerely me reprise caught me so off guard LMFAOO funniest shit omg

pov: me during to break in a glove: what 🧍🧍

"fuck you evan! asshole," ISDJDNDB THESE TWO OH MY GOD jared is correct let's praise jared for this

connor conscience. nothing more nothing less. being stupid runs in the family btw my mom did realise evan jumped off the tree till I told her after the show 😭 anyway I knew for a while during the show

my favourite song in the musical is words fail btw. always will be. words fail aka ✨the acknowledgement song✨

SKJDDBDBDB SO BIG SO SMALL BRO DIDJDH FUCKIGN BAWLING IN THIS SONG AND THE SCENE BEFORE IT

oh also the amount of times evan mentions trees caught me off guard the most. huh, I guess this guy IS good at getting attention

there's a lot more but that's all I can remember rn

[pinklemonslices]

002 with Christine!! :3

omg hooray

How I feel about this character: love. adore. cherish. worship. fave. she’s literally the silliest silly to EVER silly. she’s so cute and funny and AUGH

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Jeremy, Brooke, Jake, Chloe, Jenna

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Michael & Christine!! they’d be sillay :D i want them to exchange embarrassing stories about Jeremy and dance to music together

My unpopular opinion about this character: this isn’t really unpopular anymore (i don’t think?) but i hate innocent smol bean uwu Christine. i hate the fandomized Christine. LET HER SAY CUSS WORDS, LET HER MAKE SEXUAL JOKES, AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LET THAT GIRL DO HER BOWLING ALLEY PERFORMANCE ART!!!!!!

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: this one is tough, hmm. tbh i would have liked to see some of her other more interests that she mentions in that line in I Love Play Rehearsal (“i’ve got so many interests i wanna pursue, and why’m i telling this to you?”) (sidenote: if she mentioned some in canon and i simply forgot, pleeeease tell me :3)

my OTP: probably Stagedorks, they’re so sweetie pie

my crossover ship: i don’t do much crossover shipping, but my friend got me sold on Alana Beck from DEH/Christine, as well as Zoe Murphy from DEH/Christine

a headcanon fact: she has a bunch of those little erasures that look like animals and food and stuff :3

(First Draft Version) Incoming Text for Rihanna (@rihanna):

Dear Rihanna,

I saw your latest IG post, 10th November. You are waiting for the bus.

I didn't understand what it meant at first. So, I came back today to revisit your IG page, and it was still the same picture of you waiting for a bus.

And so you know that I had to put my thinking cap on and try to solve this puzzle.

Question #1: "Is she trying to tell me that she is waiting for me? Nah, can't be. I must be trippin' balls right now."

Question #2: "This picture of her waiting for a bus has been up for more than five days. This is weird. What is she trying to say? I don't get it."

Question #3: "I think she is telling me that I make her wait too long for conversations with her."

I asked myself all these different questions, I'm a thinker and I tried to solve this puzzle.

Now I have to be honest with you, the last time I had a conversation with Rihanna on my blog was probably back in August. It was at a time when I wrote to Laetitia Casta, remember the summer episodes? Yeah, I was misleading my enemies by spreading lies.

26th September was the last time I wrote to Rihanna, it was a dialogue with YesJulz, Here’s a clean link for easy access: Read this dialogue between YesJulz and Rihanna (click on the blue link)

I usually avoid you to protect your privacy because you are a mother and I don't want to bother you and Asap, y'all are good people.

But I think Rihanna is not having it, my silence is pissing her off.

You know I'm just trying to protect your peace. You should be happy I ignore you, I'm actually protecting you when I do that.

I post a lot of pictures of your couple Rihanna and Asap but I never write to y'all. It's to protect your peace.

I hope you will not be mad at me for ignoring you, it's for your own good.

I do the same with Beyoncé and Jay-Z, I never mention them too. It's very rare that I speak to Beyoncé, I do this once every three months.

And Jay-Z, I never speak to him at all. If I do, they will think he is my co-conspirator and they will hurt him.

I never write to Asap as well, I always ignore him on purpose.

They are all innocent and have nothing to do with me, so I make sure they are never mentioned on my blogs.

This for your own good. You should be happy that I ignore you.

I do this with a lot of other people, I never mention LeBron, Eddie Murphy, Deion Sanders, Babyface, Usher, Jamie Foxx, many others...

It's for your own good. I'm a man at war with the Anti-Christ and trust me when I tell you that you don't want to see your names being mentioned on my blogs as my co-conspirators, you will all be attacked.

You should be glad I'm being kind by not mentioning your names.

Instead of being mad at me. I'm saving your lives and your families lives.

I hope you all know that I'm a warrior of the apocalypse and being friends with me can get you in trouble with the Anti-Christ's army.

I always write to the Hispanic community and never the African-Americans because the Hispanics are fighting and resisting.

But the African-Americans don't want to fight or resist, they just want to sit there and act like this isn't the apocalypse, they live in denial.

That's why I always write to Hispanics but never African-Americans, I write a lot to Zoe and Rosario because they resist.

I write to Mexicans, Colombians, Puerto-ricans, Spanish because they are all ready to fight.

But African-Americans be like: "Nah, son! I don't want war, I will continue to live in denial. Ignorance is bliss just like they say in the Matrix film."

Now you understand why I'm always making my moves with Europeans and Hispanics because they are the true warriors during this apocalypse.

I avoid the African-American community because they refuse to fight and continually live in denial.

There is a very small number of Afro-Americans fighting and they are all making moves with the Hispanics as well.

If you want my advice, I suggest you buy a home in Italy, Rome near the Vatican and stay there with your family.

Your Fenty business empire should change headquarters, move to Italy. You can move all your business operations to Italy, Rome. This will help you settle in a Christian controlled environment.

I live in Europe, and you have to understand that Europe is resisting, but America is refusing to even acknowledge this apocalypse.

85% of the American population is living in denial, they have been brainwashed by the media. They don't even know what is going on.

15% of the American population is either moving to Europe or staying to continue resisting and fighting this Holy war like POTUS Donald Trump and Elon Musk, they are part of a small group of people who are fighting the Anti-Christ as we speak.

This is the new reality now.

You can have two headquarters:

Fenty HQ in Rome Italy.

Fenty HQ in America.

You can have 50% of your Fenty empire in America and the other 50% in Rome, Italy. That way you are not obligated to always stay in America.

You should encourage Selena Gomez to do the same, she is half-Italian, she should take advantage of this and settle half of her business empire in Rome, Italy.

This is how you will have one foot in America and the other in Europe.

If you ever feel bullied in America, you still have the option of moving your entire business to Rome, Italy.

I hope my message is helpful.

Okay, this chat was fun.

Love you, Rihanna! Have fun, big hugs for you.

Prince Angelo.
