BENJI HANSEN

So in 1899 Jack Kelly was 17? Right? So he must have been born in 1882.

And 1882 + 11 = 1893

Ya know who else was 11 in 1893?

Winnie Foster.

And I wrote it before I saw Crutchie’s trading card, so in the theory it’s not cannon that he had Polio.

I admin a bunch of broadway themed chats on kik. I just did a clean out of all of the show specific chats because there was a lot of inactive and I’d like to get them up and running again. We [myself and others in the groups] are always hoping new people will find the groups and join us in conversations, but I figured making a post could help that along. We’d love it if you would join us in the chats!

Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812

How, after he survived the fall and woke up, the first thing he did was try to call his mom, to try and get her to pick him up, to get him out of the forest.

And how she didn’t answer the phone. How she didn’t answer his call until at least a few hours later, when he was already at the hospital, getting a cast put on, after having been driven there by his boss (who he barely knew) and then left in the hospital alone.

How he tried to commit suicide, believing that he didn’t matter to anyone in the world. And how, after he did, his mother did not answer his calls.

Obviously it’s not Heidi’s fault she didn’t answer, but still. I think a lot of people overlook that defining moment, how much that changed Evan’s viewpoint on the world, how much damage that did, how his treatment towards others, specifically her, was drastically warped because of that.

How much Evan’s actions make so much more sense after you consider that moment.

it’s not gay it’s actually really sad and making it about gay shipping (of someone who is alone and just wants a friend with someone who unfortunately is dead by this song) completely diminishes the whole purpose of the song and really erases evan’s true feelings and his longing for friendship because he feels so alone

  no one deserves to be forgotten/no one deserves to fade away/no one deserves to disappear
