I don't even know

I love hatchet town because it’s like “hey yknow Bryce? How she’s been playing all these background characters??? Yeah what if we revealed she was a god damn fucking powerhouse and then you just have to sit through the rest of the musical like you didn’t just ascend to heaven and come back again :D”

But when I say the “wholesome and funny” YouTube short I have been handed of students surprise showing their teachers 10+ year old photos of themselves and most them were emo/goth in some way and every single one now has medium brown beach waves and is wearing head to toe beige and immediately screams and hides the photo like it’s the most embarrassing thing in the world is a hallmark of a deeply insidious tendency to associate socially acceptable WASPy aesthetics with maturity and responsibility and perpetuates the idea that everyone grows up, “gets right” and becomes the most digestible unobtrusive heterosexual I’m “taking it too seriously”

“It’s not that serious” oh but it issssss because every day we perpetuate the idea that non-conformity of any kind to the white straight middle class standard is inherently immature and gets “left behind” when someone becomes a socially acceptable adult

This idea that maturity is conformity is everywhereeee if you look for even a moment

i like that in every lautski universe pete doesn't even attempt to actually flirt with steph at the start, he just exists with autism and she falls to her knees for him about it
