OBJECTIONING INTENSIFIES

Grover: Percy-

Annabeth: Don't

Hades: that’s surprisingly nice of you

percy:

1. guy who whispered “what the fuck is happening” 20 minutes into the film

2. girl who sighed and placed her head in her hands when the third song started

3. guy who went “woah wOAH WOAH” when the magician cat and the judi dench cat’s faces got uncomfortably close to each other

4. guy who said “YES, JENNIFER” when the jennifer hudson cat belted those high notes

Me:

You like Hazbin Hotel? That’s awesome! Make your Alastor theories and ship every couple under the sun. Make fan art, write fic, speculate for the rest of the season. Don’t let tumblr’s cancel culture make you lose your interest.

You’re still superwholock? That’s banging. So much of us are struggling with disconnecting and distancing ourself from the things we used to love, bc of an unfortunate combination of peer pressure and mental illness. The fact that you’re still creating and consuming content is amazing. Keep at it.

You like “cliche” or “overrated” musicals? Of course you do! Shows like Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, Heathers, Be More Chill, Beetlejuice, and Anastasia are popular for a reason, and you clearly understand the craze. In 2020 may you continue to discover new musicals (I recommend Next to Normal and In the Heights, personally) but never lose your love for the musicals that made you love Broadway.

Cringe culture is dead. I’m killing it now. Life is too damn short to be ashamed of the things you like, or to let other people make you feel bad for liking it. The world needs more radiance and positivity.
