even though I’ve been watching StarKid for years I don’t always make the connection between characters who share an actor in the same show until it hits me like a freight train days later. What do you mean Mayor Lauter and Jason are the same guy

i always feel so nitpicky when i think this but it bothers me so bad when people call linda nibblys favorite special guy in the lords in black favorite special guy lineups. did we not watch the same episode. mans just ate her. he wouldve eaten zoey if she'd won. or like. anyone else if theyd won instead

SOMETIMES this fandom rubs me the wrong way when it comes to how they treat the hatchetfield characters who aren’t guys. idk if it’s just what i’ve seen but i tend to see people fleshing out the guys and their traits and then the girls are reduced to #girlboss or damsel in distress. also like i love the spankoffskis too but saying they’re a better sibling duo than the fosters is wild bc the spankoffskis have only had two (2) canon interactions throughout the entire series (and only 1 was an actual convo) and the fosters being sisters is kinda the driving force behind a lot of the series.

I forget if it was Mariah or someone else who said it but someone mentioned a while ago how funny it would be to re-perform tgwdlm but with everyone's roles just picked from a hat and I haven't stopped thinking about it since.

Just imagine the chaos: Jon as Charlotte. Mariah strolling in as Mr. Davidson. Emma played by Jeff Blim. Corey popping up as the Greenpeace girl.

The things I'd do to see this

There is something sort of oddly comforting to me about a famous and talented group of actors using a prop crown that cost five dollars at Party City for a god. Like…theater props don’t need to be expensive to make an impact on the audience and what truly holds the stage acting industry up is it’s acting. A theater company bought a crown for five dollars and of course most everything but the props was expensive but something about the damn crown gets to me

or maybe it’s just late and I need sleep

hi, I’m Star, and I hosted the pathetic sopping wet cats of Starkid poll—now that it’s over, I wanted to make an appreciation post for all of the amazing/hilarious tags throughout, but first I wanted to make sure you’re ok with me sharing your tags! I’d be using these:

(Also I’ve been using “smoking penis out of a boob pipe” at least once a week since I saw these)

I don't mind at all although just to be clear I was referencing this post!

I can't draw but if I could I'd make a little comic where Paul invites Emma to his "nephew's football game" and when they get there with all their Nighthawk paraphernalia she asks which one is his nephew. And he just beams with pride and points at Richie in the mascot costume, who has face planted in front of the cheerleaders.

Uncle Paul 🤝 Richie Lipschitz : Meowing for no reason

Why I think the “Paul became the new Brain after he blew up the meteor” theory has a lot of merit:

It’s hard to see in the proshot due to the editing but in the digital ticket, at the very end of Inevitable, you can clearly see the rest of the Hive pause and turn to Paul as if taking their cue from him.

At this point the song feels like it could already end, but then Paul proclaims “the Apotheosis is upon us” and the Hive immediately follow suit.

Thematically it also makes a lot of sense for Paul to become the “head” of the Hive—this way, him blowing up the meteor is “self-destruction” in more ways than one.

(Plus, he is called the leading man at the start after all)

If you guys liked the whole "Stephs flannel matches Peter's suspenders and bow tie" thing then this costuming detail is in tgwdlm gonna fuck you up.

When we get our first scene with Paul and Emma, the two are dressed in their respective main outfits. These are the ones people tend to associate with them.

But throughout the show, as they get closer and bond, their outfits become more and more similar. Pretty soon Emma's lost the apron

Then at the professor's house, Paul loses the jacket

and by the time McNamara is infected, Paul has his sleeves rolled up and Emma's bow tie has come undone.

At this point, the two are at their most aesthetically similar, and also they closest they've been the entire show. This is moments before the helicopter crash and their failed kiss. They remain this way for a good chunk of time...until Paul comes back

It's like some fast-paced foreshadowing. Emma remains in her changed state, the same as her character, but Paul is back to square one. He's wearing the same outfit he was when they met, and they no longer align. She doesn't know who he is anymore.

I don't think this was intentional (and if it was, no one explained it to Jon) but it plays out so damn well.
