Dan wanted to make a statement with his coming out, and he did so with a 45 minute grand tale of tragedy and heartbreak smack in the middle of pride month.
Phil wanted a low-key coming out and he did it in a 7 minute, very brief overview of his experience in the last hours of pride month.
And if that’s not the most Dan and Phil thing, I don’t know what is.
you lost faith in your parents the same day you lost faith in Sinterklaas
someone kisses your cheeks right-left-right. You freeze, unsure of how to respond. You remain frozen in place until someone kisses your cheeks left-right-left again, releasing you from your curse
the Prime Minister passes you on his bike
you don’t have enough money on your OV-chip card. No one in your compartment has enough money on their OV-chip card. The conductor lets all of you get away with it “just this once”
in modern au fic, characters go to coffee shops for……..coffee. This still seems like an elaborate joke to you
the national anthem starts playing. Dutifully, you sing that you are of German blood and that you have always honoured the Spanish King
you know someone who saw the Prime Minister cycling by once
you either support Ajax or Feyenoord. It doesn’t matter if you like another club better, or don’t even watch European football at all. You must choose. You have to choose
2 centimetre of snow falls. The entire country stops functioning
yes, you have a ‘bonuskaart’. Several, probably. You don’t remember where you left them. You borrow a ‘bonuskaart’ from the person in front of you. No ‘bonus’ applies to any of the products you are buying
all the Prime Minister does all day is cycling by unsuspecting citizens
everyone in the Netherlands speaks English very well. Yes, Dutch people’s English is certainly very good. Every Dutch person you overhear speaking to a tourist is an exception to this rule
you try to find your bike at Utrecht Centraal. You think you last parked it there, anyway. You’re reasonably sure you did. Unless one of your flatmates “““borrowed””” it? It could also be lying at the bottom of a canal. Perhaps it was stolen
“we have a word for that in Dutch too” you mutter under your breath when you see yet another ‘German has a word for everything’ post
A parody of “No One Remembers Achmed” from Twisted. Inspired by the fact that for some reason people have forgotten about StarKid since they did their last Potter musical. Specifically that clip from Firebringer that went viral and no one recognized Lauren Lopez.
Ensemble:
In your fandom you’re a legend
All the people know your names
On the theater stage and off you are superior
Starkid:
(Spoken) We know.
In the real world though we’re finding
the Potter show’s our claim to fame
And all else are considered quite inferior
Ensemble:
Inferior…
Starkid:
(Spoken) Please.
We’ve had shows with good reviews
And videos with lots of views
But no one remembers Starkid
We brought fame to pure unknowns
Darren Criss and A.J. Holmes
But no one remembers Starkid
Say our names in these parts
And they’ll think you’re all asses
Until you mention wizards
Or Darren’s sunglasses
Ensemble:
Darren’s sunglasses!
Starkid:
So to restore our repute
As a fierce fearsome brute,
There’s only one route we see
Arrange the slaughter of millions
Of innocent civilians
Then they’ll remember we
See… I didn’t change the last part because I figure they’d want to do that.
If I had the time I’d write out a full thing, but I don’t. So if anyone wants to finish it go right ahead.
because after seeing Trail to Oregon I know I sure was. Here are the names the awesome audiences gave the characters on various showings (based on Starkid’s tweets). They are funnier to me now that I have a context for the names. Here we go, on:
P.S. I’m making this a “read more” thing because this will get pretty dang long.
P.S.S. EDIT 6/8/15: Now including the names from NYC!!
sexuality and female empowerment being treated as a given, instead of being ignored or poorly represented as much of popular media currently does
the whole cast swearing like sailors
the music (hello, percussion!), choreography, and costume/set/puppet design
“all hail emberly, the fire shitter”
Brian Holden’s lone nipple
the new cast members: Lauren Walker (Molag) being absolutely hilarious & having an amazing stage presence; Jamie Burns (Chorn) having the voice of a goddess; and Tiffany Williams (Tiblyn) being the cutest human being ever
shameless kissing
“i don’t really want to do any work today” - same, Zazzalil, same
clark baxtresser blessing us with his presence since prehistoric times
rachael spanking joey
the shadowpuppets during “the night belongs to snarl”
THE GAY
schwoopsie inventing stand-up comedy
privileged fucks becoming the starkid slogan of 2k17
I’ve been thinking a lot about how Snape is basically Walter White in reverse. He’s a horrible criminal who turns to the side of good and in order to save other people’s lives becomes a horrible chemistry teacher who hates his job.
