Merrily au where Frank and Charley are single celled organisms and nothing else is different

tyler has gotta be the funniest character in merrily. he’s there the entire time. he’s a background character. he invented the answering machine. he hates mary and charley. he’s a nobody waiter at a club. he’s giving frank coke out of his necklace. he arranged the cruise that ultimately led to the friendship falling apart. he’s weirdly homoerotic w frank. he’s just some guy. we could have a whole spinoff based on him

LIKE WHAT IS HIS PROBLEM I LOVE HIM

ONHM OH Y GOD OH MY GOD.

WAAAAIIIIIITTT

Merrily We Roll Along is constantly winking to the fact that it’s told backwards and I eat it up every time. They say “never look back,” and “never look behind you,” and “We go way back” “But seldom forward,” and “feels like an ending, but it’s really a beginning, right?” and I cheer and clap and hoot and holler.
