Professor Hidgens told me to "fill up your Tumblr" so here I am.
I got to see The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals today. Live in London. First time seeing Starkid live. I was in a sold out West End theatre with I don't know how many other Starkids, who have been fans for different amounts of time, some longer, some shorter. But we are all fans (probably. Maybe there were one or two people who were dragged along). The spirit was the best. The audience passed the vibe check. Everyone cheered, clapped, laughed. I think we gave the cast a great first West End experience. But of course it was over too soon.
Five years, three months and twenty days ago, I first watched TGWDLM and with that my first Starkid Musical. I was in 11th grade, it was winter, it was covid lockdown. Starkid (and TinCanBros and Shipwrecked) was one of the main things that got me through lockdown. Or at least made it fun. I found friends (even if they are still only online friendships @maraudershead, @puekjh, @thankdeadgodman, and other discord friends), great new songs, a new passion. Without Starkid I wouldn't have looked/listened into other musicals. Without Starkid I wouldn't have been in the comments of a Wattpad Google Translate story where others spammed the lyrics of Non-Stop. And without that I wouldn't have seized so many opportunities to see musicals and plays in London and New York. And I also probably wouldn't have joined my own university's theatre group which has become such an important part of my life.
So, at this point I just wanted to say Thank You to everyone who has crossed my path one way or another because of Starkid!
