murder is going to occur over the fact that everyone knows Mike faist because of challengers now but look! Here we are, us theater folk, who have been around since the beginning. I don’t want it to be Mike faist from challengers, I want It to me Mike faist from newsies and Mike faist from dear Evan Hansen like
you all mocked us for loving Mike faist as a musical theater person but now you’re obsessing because he’s in the tennis movie.
yeah I want to watch the movie I like Mike faist I bet he did very well in the movie but.
it’s sad to me that so many people will only ever know him as Mike faist from challengers
back on my 'zuko is aroace' agenda. if i have to see one more post arguing about shipping i am going to start biting people. he's actually a single dad and never marries thanks bye.
i really don't know how to feel about fics/aus where it turns out that sj's treatment of lbh is his own fault because he didn't speak up about issues with other disciples, genuinely misbehaved etc and also later (as bingge) lied about how much he actually got punished and in truth it wasn't any more than any other disciple, and that sj didn't know about the fake manual, when all of this is explicitly against canon.
yqy adresses this when sy wakes up, telling sqq to stop being so mean to lbh. in the sj extra, he himself says that lbh should have died a long time ago bleeding from the seven apertures due to the fake manual. sy says that pidw explicitly states that lbh was punished WAAAY more than any other disciple, and in those conditions obviously noone would tell their teacher about being bullied??
idk i understand altering canon for the sake of telling a story but... somehow it feels like a disservice to sj's character to ignore canon and water him down for the sake of making his redemption easier. and villifying lbh, which is what these fics inevitably end up doing, is also messed up - he was around 11 when he joined cqm. that's a CHILD. no matter how you look at it, sqq's "treatment" of lbh is neglect at best, horrible abuse at worst, and in modern times it would put him in jail faster than you could blink. giving him a realistic redemption arc is difficult, if not impossible, but if you truly love him with all his flaws and faults, isn't it worth the effort?
the ability to get gay married for political connections & power regardless of if you're gay or not is the only thing that could make the late republic funnier actually
