When I first watched Heathers. it was very good and I cried a lot. like a LOT. I continued to watch it and then I got into animatics. I watched them a fair amount. generally they were I am Damaged animatics and they made me cry a lot. I would sing it in the bathroom and then cry more. (there was a lot of crying). I began to realize after a few weeks that it was having less of an affect on me.
right about that time I began to see animatics from this musical called "Dear Evan Hansen." I shrugged them off and didn't ever click. then one day I figured, heck why not? so I clicked on a Sincerely Me animatic. I was very confused and thought that the main character were very gay. I thought that it was two friends getting the help of their friends to write a good email to one another.
I also thought that For Forever was the last song and that it was the main character recounting his death. I was so silly! then I finally listened to the full thing. I remember that night, I was just going through deviant art and such whilst listening to it. I didn't give it my full attention and thought it was okay. then..
then I listened to it again. I fell deeply in love with it, watching a ton of animatics and listening to it nonstop (NOOON STOP!). finally I became confused as to what the true plot was, and looked it up on wikipedia.
then a few weeks later I finally gave in and watched a bootleg. I have never EVER cried so much over fictional characters- who knows, maybe over anything. I fell deeper and deeper in love with it. I cried many many times. I made fanart of it. weeks went by (I had also begun listening to Hamilton at this time. not obsessed with it, but I still really like it), I began seeing this other musical pop up...
"be more chill." I passed it off as just another musical and went back to listening to Dear Evan Hansen and watching a ton of animatics. one day I finally listened to one of the songs that popped up in my recommended. "Michael in the Bathroom." it was okay, ya know nothing special. but I kept on seeing these videos in my recommended that had to do with it and I couldn't help it anymore!
I listened to half of the cast recording, then totally dismissed it. I just didn't like it. I didn't like the style of music and I had no idea what was going on. didn't even get through the full soundtrack. then I finally went back and listened to it again. I fell in love with it more than anything else.
I loved it so indescribably much. I made some fanart and watched animatics non stop. I watched speedpaints (and even made a speedpaint) and fell deeper and deeper in love with it. I listened to it non stop.
now I cry over how much I love the fandom and how amazing they are and how beautiful this musical is. I make a ton of fanart and watch speedpaints ALL THE TIME. I started an animatic but am not going to finish it (but you bet your booty that I'm going to make a ton of animatics in the future)
and I post speedpaints on youtube and follow a ton of BMC, Heathers, and DEH fans. I LOVE MUSICALS SO MUCH. Side notes: I have listened to a TON of other musicals (like a TON) and none of them have clung to me the way Heahters, DEH, anf BMC have. Dan Domenech followed me on instagram.
He's the first actor that has followed me Heathers got me watching Ryan Mccartmans videos. holy crap is he inspirational. this took 20 minutes to type out.
oh other sidenote: I perform concerts to myself. I scream about musicals on twitter. I call George Salazar "George Salad Sir." I really like the sound of Spring awakening.
