And of course he's likes it that way.

Everyone calls him Hobie. Even Miguel does, the only person daring to diverge being Lyla, the little heckler with access to all of his personal data.

People always ask him what 'Hobie' is short for and he either doesn't answer or lies and NO ONE has found out his real name except Gwen and maybe Pavi

Cause BE FR if you didn't know Hobie and you only heard his nickname who the fuck would guess that it's short for

HOBART.

I don't know what else it could be but I would never in a million years say HOBART

Don't nobody look like a 'Hobart'. If you showed me your baby and said their name was Hobart I'm calling child services on you.

You can have the baby back when you learn how to act 😐🤨 I even be side-eying Peter like 'Y'all better not have put MayDay down as her GOVERNMENT name. She's just May right 😭 '

Best guess is they were joking around and Gwen said 'What is it, Hobart or something ridiculous like that?' as a joke cause she was out of ideas and Hobie just turns to her and goes 'Yes.'

And Gwens like 'Wait, are you being serious right now? Hobie, are you being serious? I'm SO sorry. I didn't mean that, its not ridiculous I promise it isn't so sorry my bad😭'

Yet to this day she can't say his name without bursting into giggles.

Hobie outright tells Pavi. Pavi, always curious (read as: nosey) asks him 'Hey, Hobie - Why don't you use your first name?'

'Because it's Hobart.'

'.....I see why you wouldn't want to use that 😊'

because that was surely enough to answer his question 😭

Disco-Spider Diane ain't even know his name was Hobie to begin with. She heard his accent and kept thought he was saying 'O.B'

As in like, [First Name beginning with O] Brown.

She hears his first name is like 'WHAT, HOBART? I thought your name started with an O.'

He's like 'Di, I mean this nicely but where the hell you'd get that idea? 🙃'

'You're O.B tho??! You SAID O.B. I thought your name was something cool and normal like Orlando. 😭😭😭 HOBART?!'

She needs to recover. Hobie just thought she was copying his accent badly.

But Hobie just FITS.

Imagine if he was named something modern. Imagine if his name was Oliver or something. He can only be Hobie.

2x19 - Rumours

Tike: Katherine (Tina) and Jack (Mike) from Newsies. Of course Mike loves a good dance musical. And Tina wants to play Katherine someday.

Brittana: Joey (Brittany) and Uncle Jesse (Santana) from Full House. Britt thought it was so cute that Santana dressed up as Jesse when she was a kid, and Britt's convinced that they were a couple on that show. Lord Tubbington plays Michelle.

Faberry: Heather Chandler (Quinn) and Veronica (Rachel) from Heathers. It's just them.

St. Berry: JD (Jesse) and Veronica (Rachel) from Heathers. Both have that intensity in their relationship (but without the abuse and murder ofc)

Klaine: Leaf (Kurt) and Chip (Blaine) from The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. It would just be so cute and funny. Kurt makes both of the costumes (though it hurts him to have to intentionally make the cape look sloppy.)

Finchel: Barfee (Finn) and Olive (Rachel) from Spelling Bee. Rachel knew of the musical but Finn liked it much more. She was glad that he found an interest in a musical on his own so that's what they did. They practiced the Pas De Deux as well and it was a beautiful mess.

Samcedes: Ron (Sam) and Hermione (Mercedes) from Harry Potter. Mercedes was a closeted Potterhead for years. Sam only saw the movies (he has trouble reading due to his canon dyslexia) so Mercedes reads the books to him. She painted freckles on him and he got a red wig. Sam thought she looked INCREDIBLE in that uniform.

Bartie: Chrissy (Brittany) and Eddie (Artie) from Stranger Things. Sure, Britt's just playing another cute cheerleader in a different uniform, but they both love the show. Artie's wig is atrocious and beautiful.

Marlique: Gomez (Marley) and Morticia (Unique) from The Addams Family. It's unexpected but works so well.

Jarley: Voldemort (Jake) and Quirrel (Marley) from A Very Potter Musical. It's so nerdy but cute. They shuffle around back-to-back the entire night. Gotta commit to the bit.

Tartie: Doofenschmirtz (Tina) and Perry the Platypus (Artie) from Phineas and Ferb. It would be ridiculous but so fucking funny. Artie's special party trick is that he can make the Perry sound. Never fails to amaze people.
