ORCHESTRA FREAKING PHENOMENAL

[thebrokenpostbox]

the whole point of joining a fandom more than a decade late is so that all the fanfic you could possibly want has already been written. so tell me newsies people, where is the redfinch

[thebrokenpostbox]

SEND. TO. ME. ASAP. I CANT FIND IT ANYWHERE.

EVERYONE THIS IS NOT A DRILL. I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A DRILL. THE OUTSIDERS BROADWAY CAST RECORDING CAME OUT TODAY!!!

[thebrokenpostbox]

Seeing The Outsiders musical live is not a want, it is a NEED.

[thebrokenpostbox]

Spoilers for The Outsiders Musical cast recording

I’m listening to The Outsiders Musical cast recording and I was not expecting it to be so gay. Like, Pony and Johnny sing about how they want to get a house together to watch sunsets and work on a garden with each other. And then in another song they sing “The reason I’m living is you/ Wherever you go/ That’s where I’ll be/ Even if death tags along/ I don’t mind there is still you and me.” And then proceed to sing about how they will never leave the other alone

I don’t even ship Johnny and Ponyboy but those lyrical choices are just so gay

[thebrokenpostbox]

weirdest thing to look over and see on mcci -- cubfan and ethoslab falling to their deaths repeatedly

[thebrokenpostbox]

coquette finch. oh my gosh.
