Little Things You Notice When You’ve Seen DWSA Too Many Times

Little things you notice when you’ve seen DWSA too many times

-Melchior nervously tucks his shirt in when Wendla turns away to explore his ‘private place for thinking.’

-In the same scene only in the Broadway staging, Melchior follows Wendla all around the ‘tree’ trying to catch her attention, but of course she can’t hear so she keeps walking around

-Hanschen turns to Ernst’s voice and shushes him when he laughs during the vineyard scene

-Hanschen looks back (kind of ominously?) at Ernst’s voice when he walks off with Ernst

-Hanschen is super shady obv- he laughs with the teacher at Moritz’s mistake, and sarcastically slow-claps while walking across the stage after Melchior flips everyone off in the end of ‘Totally Fucked’

-During the pre-show warm-up, the actors start slowly transforming into their characters after they put their costumes on. Daniel Durant walks nervously with bowed legs as Moritz; Andy stands in the corner and glares out at the audience as Hanschen; the sisters Thea and Melitta stroll together as a pair; Otto walks around adorably in his sailor outfit while practicing verbalizing words..

-Melchior stares at Wendla very intensely all through Mama Who Bore Me

-Krysta operates the spotlight on the actors. Also she has a really cute sort of dressing room with a lamp and drawings on the wall if you look up to the left

-Moritz occasionally looks over at his voice like ‘wtf?’ when Ilse talks about the shit that went down in Priapia, and his voice shrugs back like ‘I have no idea dude.’ Also Ilse seems to have a bit of a rougher time communicating with Moritz in ASL.

-When Ilse suddenly shows up and makes Moritz drop his gun in surprise, his voice grabs it and hides it in his pocket. Later when Ilse leaves, Moritz gestures for his voice to give it back. Then he covers his voice’s microphone and lowers it. His voice lowers his head and walks away slowly.

-On a different note, the way Austin pronounces NO THANK YOU (like nho tHank hyou) to his bullies at the reformatory fascinates me.

Anyone else notice some things that one-time viewers might miss/might want to look out for..?

if you don’t love me or feel at least a sliver of affection for me then please, do not look at me like you do. stop acting as if we’re meant to be and i’m the reason your life is a little bit better than it would be if i wasn’t. stop trying to slip your way into my heart only to leave it bruised and beaten if you’re not going to fix it.

please stop making me fall in love with you if you’re not even going to love me back. (via uhnsaids)

Y'all can like JD and ship him and Veronica if you want, but remember not to excuse his actions. He killed three teenagers and tried to blow up his school, and because he did that he is a terrorist.

Was his life incredibly sad? Yes. Would things have turned out better if this and that didn’t happen? Yes. But we can’t overlook just how horrible he was by the movie’s end. Heather, Kurt, and Ram were all terrible people, but they were also kids. They were all close to leaving Sherwood, and hopefully becoming better people once they were in the real world, but they never got to know the real world because of JD.

And JD abused Veronica. Was JD entirely to blame? No, some fault fell on Veronica, but it was always clear that JD was the mastermind and at the end of the day Veronica was a victim. He tried to get in her head, and convince her she wanted Kurt and Ram dead, he tricked her into helping him murder them. When Veronica was trying to leave him, he pinned her to his couch and forcibly kissed her. When she faked her suicide, he was already climbing into her window to kill her.

JD is a sad character, terribly sad. Certain interactions between him and Big Bud Dean drive me to near tears sometimes, but he’s still a terrorist and he’s still abusive. You can make JD blogs, you can sympathize with him, and you can ship him with Veronica. Just understand that you cannot excuse him, you can’t want a relationship like he and Veronica had, and you certainly can’t want a JD for yourself to fall in love with in real life. That beings said, please take these words to heart next time you watch the movie and musical and imagine yourself with a person like JD. Thank you, I love all.
