AHHHHHHH WHY DOESNT SMASH HAVE A FANDOM ANYWHERE

I’m conflicted cause on one hand no one to scream abt it with (and barely any fics)

But on the other hand this means I am capable of being the biggest Kyle/jimmy shipper if I try hard enough which would be a big accomplishment for me

Ok so I just finished a TV show called Smash and I don’t know how many other people have heard of it but if you haven’t it’s on Amazon prime and it’s a masterpiece of a TV show

smash season 2 is more intense than i remembered

[imgonnagetkilledbynutstink]

I'm watching Smash and I think a lot of energy would be healed if they let Tom punch ONE person idc who it is

[youraveragemiscellanyenjoyer]

it's called smash because that is what i'm going to do to tom levitt

[witchofthemidlands]

i apologise right now for going feral, it is a side effect of the 'tism & finding out a series that was one of my first hyperfixations as a young teen who was obsessed with musicals (still am) has been made into a musical & seeing as i can barely find anything out about details online i need to know if anyone knows anything about the musical version of smash.

does it lean more towards ivy or karen? how is ivy's story? do they treat her well or torture her more? does she get the respect she deserves? does she get to sing more of the bombshell songs because i would love to see the ivy character do a full “the 20th century fox mambo” & “cut, print… moving on” as i'm pretty sure ivy doing “the national pastime”, “i never met a wolf who didn't love to howl”, “let's be bad” & “history is made at night” is part of the reason why i'm still the same musical obsessed person i am today but also now a lesbian.

does my favourite problematic unhinged legend derek still exist & did they massacre him? improve on him? ultimately do right by that hilarious & fantastic jack davenport character?

does "a thousand & one nights" exist as a number because that musical performance altered my brain chemistry.

also on the derek side of things, if he exists does it lean more derek/ivy or derek/karen?

does sam exist? his character was fantastic, he was so great & i liked him best with tom.

does it cover the whole series or just series 1? does jimmy, ana & kyle, hit list & their beautiful songs exist? because those songs had me on the GROUND wanting to be absorbed by my carpet.

please tell me julia's family doesn't feature as much & don't have songs because every time i rewatch smash, every time they showed me frank & i remember that they didn't get (if this was his choice absolutely no hate or judgement this is just me being a deranged musical theatre enjoyer) brian d'arcy james to sing it causes me physical brain pain.

does the mesmerising eileen exist as a character because she is also one of those “characters i admired & had strong feelings about before i realised i was gay & those were actually gay thoughts i were having” kinda character.

does tom still serve during "don't say yes until i finished talking?" because that musical number also did something to twelve year old me's brain.

More smash fanart i think I forgot to post

I LOVE THIS ONE LOOK AT HIM

[rewrite-this-story]

I know no one watches this show, and that's really unfortunate, but I have so many thoughts about Smash that I want to share, so you all get to either hear them or ignore this post entirely. I don't really care which.

First of all, Megan Hilty is an absolute queen!! I wish her name was more well known on Broadway because wow. Her voice is so powerful and I cry every time I hear her sing don't forget me. And I actually love ivy as a character with all my heart. She's beautiful and strong and so interesting. Yeah, she's flaws and human, but she tries so hard. I was so happy when she started getting the recognition she deserved in season 2. She makes mistakes, but then she gets back up every time. I also think she had incredible potential for directing and would have like to see that explored. She just deserved better in general.

I also don't like Karen at all. Not only is she kinda boring as a character, but she's not nearly as talented as everyone seems to think. Yeah, she's pretty and has a gorgeous voice, but she's really just a so-so actress and dancer. Her songs rarely make me feel anything like Ivy's do. At the end of season 1, I only cried during her version of don't forget me because I felt Ivy's frustration so deeply. Also, Karen is kinda rude and arrogant. Like, she has no clue how theater works but acts like everyone else is constantly out to get her just because they're asking her to do something differently. She can't remember her blocking and then complains that people don't like her. And she's so sensitive. No one can tease her or even comment anything that isn't 100% positive about her without her getting upset. Furthermore, Ivy's an interesting character who makes us really care about her because of how hard she tries and fails only to get back up again. Then, they throw in her past and emotional trauma and struggles with addiction. It's really hard not to care about and root for her. Why should I care about Karen? I liked hit list only because of Jimmy, Kyle, and even Anna. Karen didn't matter at all to me because she didn't really have to struggle or fight for anything. She was kinda just along for the ride.

Third thing, Derek sucks and is super problematic, but it was nice to see him stay to grow and improve. I would've liked to see where season 3 might've taken him. I do really like his relationship with Ivy because she calls him out on stuff, and he actually listens to her. It was dumb that he never saw how truly incredible an actress she was. They would have made a great team after she really became more sure of herself and he realized how awful he was. His obsession with Karen was really weird, but I like to imagine he probably got over it by the end of season 2.

Tom and Julia were interesting, but I was actually happy to see them split at the end of everything. She always kind of took advantage of him and it bothered me. He also deserved a real relationship story, but I'm not surprised he didn't get one since he was a gay character in 2012. His relationship with Kyle was kinda creepy and Kyle should've dated either Sam or that dancer we saw him flirting with earlier in the season. Either one of those would've been less uncomfortable. Him and Sam were also never really a good match. Plus, he did Sam kinda dirty in season 2. But yeah, he should've gotten a good relationship.

I do think Sam should've gotten the lead in hit list. He deserved it, Jimmy didn't. Jimmy did a good job, obviously, but he wasn't reliable and was really uncooperative. He could've just given feedback as a writer instead of being the lead actor. I get why they did it the way they did for the TV show, but realistically, it just didn't make sense.

Kyle's death was awful. I wish we saw more of him. I think his relationship and history with Jimmy was interesting, I think it should've been explorers more instead of Jimmy and Karen, who's relationship was kinda predictable and overused. It would've been nice to see him and Jimmy sing together sometime. I wish he sang a few more songs in general because he has a really cool sound.

Jimmy and Derek also could've had a really interesting relationship if it hadn't centered around Karen as much as it did. I think they could've really helped each other. Jimmy didn't take any bullshit and Derek didn't put up with any bullshit, so they could've kept each other in line. Derek also saw something in Jimmy that few people did and I think it would've been neat to see him become a bit of a mentor.

Finally, Derek and Tom had so much potential that was never explored. Their history and their future are so unclear, but I have so many questions.

So yeah, I really did enjoy the show. It's not the most incredible show ever made, but it was fun and interesting. It's a shame it only got two seasons. I kinda blame the marketing team since so few people know it ever existed.

It would have been nice if they had given Derek character development, but I admit Jack and Christian have chemistry.

She's not a straight male fantasy either, and this production needed Tom. It did not need Derek.

The whole show, there's nothing wrong with Tom, so Derek just goes for homophobia,
