y'all i just met Aidan Close (the current national tour Scorpius) aksnijbdijbihbsidb
i'm in DC and the whole time i've been thinking, "the tour is here until September. it would be so cool if i ran into someone from the cast." so i'm at the national art gallery and i'm in the giftshop thinking, "that guy looks like Aidan Close." so i go up and ask if his name is Aidan (yes) and if i could take a picture with him (also yes) and we both start freaking out 😭😭😭
he was there with his mom and grandmother and they're both like "we were just asking him if anyone's ever recognized him before!" so i'm literally losing it bc i've been posting about him since the cast was revealed last year, and he's freaking out bc this is the first time this has happened. and his mom and grandma are like, "give us your phone, we'll take a picture! :)"
and y'all - this sweet boy is saying i made his day - and i'm like "this is literally one of the best things that's ever happened to me akdnsnd"
so we took a bunch of pictures and i ask him to sign a page in my sketchbook - and he takes the pen, sits right down on the floor, and starts drawing a little cartoon Scorp waving 😭
i'll post pictures later but im literally still reeling 😭😭😭
