On a road trip a few weeks ago and we stopped at this gas station/rest stop and I saw a fried chicken store connected to a knife shop and the knife shop had a giant American flag I felt like I was abt to meet an old guy with clown makeup and then get kidnapped by an evil family
Horror characters w/ a child in the school musical
Notes: In honor of my school's drama club being shut down and me having to go to my neighboring school. (You can tell I have favorites ;))
Includes: Otis Driftwood, Baby Firefly, Mama Firefly, Choptop Sawyer, Billy and Stu, Carrie White, Hannibal Lecter (and Will Graham), Beetlejuice, Micheal Myers (A bit RZ), The Lost Boys,
The fact that you even have to go to school is a problem to him. With his whole "I hate rules" get up, did you really think he'd want you going to some crummy government public school? He literally hates everything about it..
But... it would be suspicious if you didn't go to school, considering some people in the neighboring town knew there was a kid in the house..
When you bring up wanting to be in your school's musical?
He's all for it, wether you're a little kid or a teenager, surprisingly.
I think he'd be into the idea since he himself is very artsy, he sees it as his kiddo trying to express themselves, and he's all for it.
Especially if you are also in charge of the set (My school's was five people so I always did set), he's so excited to see what you come up with, even if it boringly lacks and pain and suffering.
He won't clean up to come watch it, he will genuinely show up with his matty white hair under his oddly stained cowboy hat, his 'burn this flag' tank top, dirty boots.. he gets odd looks, no one sits next to him or the family, murmuring that they stink.
he's so proud.
"______, do you know who that guy in the front row who keeps grimacing is in the cowboy hat? He's scaring off our audience,"
"That's my dad :)"
Baby Firefly
Oh, she is EXCITED
As a performer herself, coughcoughthefloorshowcoughcough,
If this is a highschool show, she gets into alllll the drama. All the petty fights, tantrums, affairs going on, all the juicy shit that happens during musical season. Perfect person to bitch with about it.
She will come to every single one of the shows, she tells people to come constantly.
She'd have you practice in front of victims as an "audience,"
She is so thrilled, this is the funnest thing ever to her.
Gushes over the costumes
If you don't get a lead you really wanted, she is just as petty as you are about it.
Opening night, she'll give you a boquet of flowers she totally didn't steal before hand.
The best drama mama!
"She's such a bitch, who's she think she is, huh? You deserved that role much more than them, god what a whore."
"Tell me about it,"
Mama Firefly
Aw, she thinks its so dear.
It's been a long time since she had a little one in the home, she's excited to do things that actually make her feel like a mom again.
Supports you in any way you need, practice running late? She's packed you a sandwich and an extra water. Need help going over a scene? Well, she'll try her damn best!
I feel she'd be the type of mom to help make her kids costume if it fell on the kids shoulder
She is so excited to see it when it comes time, she drags R.J, Otis, and Baby (sorry Tiny) out of the home to go see it
She dresses up all nice and fights her way to the front row
She cheers loudly for you.
"Do we have to be here?" Otis grumbled, "Yes, this is your little sibling, now hush it's startin'"
Chop-Top Sawyer
Oh god it's a mess,
it's not that he's not excited, he's very excited his spitfire is into music just like him
but that's the problem, he's too excited.
It's not like he can just... come and watch-
He's not exactly normal, y'know.
Now this could go two different ways,
1. He doesn't go watch, but makes Drayton go and record it so he can watch it himself (if he cares enough by then)
2. He goes and causes a scene and you both just blame it on his Vietnam PTSD which gets you both a lot of sympathy points.
If he does get to go, he freaks a lot of people out. He wears his wig, assuming they replaced his Sonny Bono wig, but is constantly digging at his plate with his tongue just..sticking out. Plus he talks funny and stinks and- god people are trying to figure out who this loud creeper is and why he's here..
Then they see him at the end of the show...standing with you. Gossip spreads quickly..
Some who refuse to believe it, mistake Drayton as your father at the end of the show.
"Hello, I'm assuming your ______'s father? I wanted to tell you just how talented-" "Oh! Hey Mister Johnson, I see you've met my uncle Drayton," "Uncle?" "Yeah, this is my dad," "Oh...Uhm..." "Hi *heavy breathing*" "Forgive him, he's still adjusting from 'Nam."
Billy and Stu
They are both so incredibly normal about your interests
So I'm like conflicted cause one part of me wants to believe that they don't really care all that much but the other part of me that recognizes them as huge nerds is wielding a sword.
Shut up, Stu had a musical phase in middle school, FIGHT ME.
Stu is definitely more excited than Billy is
and it's not that Billy's not excited, Stu just shows it more than Billy.
100% flexible with your schedule, they take turns dropping you off and picking you up if you can't drive.
Stu uses it as an excuse to get out of stuff.
"Sorry, can't, gotta take chick-pea to practice tonight, yeah sooo sorry."
Billy is the type to get volunteered by you if big pieces of the set need done and no one else will do it.
He'll grumble, but it will be done.
Stu donates a lot of money towards the program, half in attempts to get the director to favorite you and give you parts you want.
Stu and Billy come to every show, all of them, without fail.
This is important to you, and you're important to them, so this is important to them.
Stu is so hype on opening night, giving you a pep-talk all day before you go to get ready.
They are so proud of you when the show is over, and will both help you out of that after show slumps.
"C'mon baby, what was the name of the lead your the understudy for?" "Kelly?" "No, Chick-pea, the name of the actor..." "Guys- no."
Carrie White
stop she's so proud of you,
even if you don't end up with a big part, she's so proud that you have the confidence to do something she would have never dared to of done when she was young.
She might even be involved? I could see her making costumes- I mean, she made her prom dress and that shit was stunning.
I think she'd be more partial to you doing activities such as music or band or some form of art over sports.
The arts are just a lot less dangerous than sports, she just wants you to be safe. But she also wants you to be happy.
She will come to every single show,
She'd be the mom to help you go over lines if you needed to as well, or offer to try and help practice a dance you needed to learn.
She definitely cries watching you up on stage,
will get you the prettiest flowers and tell all your co-stars that they did such a good job.
"Mama, can you help me with this scene? I just need you to read for Yente," "Of course honey, where do you want me to start?:)"
Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham,
First off, you go to a private school. No kin of Lecter's is going to be caught dead in a public school.
He is rather thrilled when you mention performing for the school, he does love the arts after all.
Whatever you want and or need, singing lessons, dancing lessons, acting classes, whatever you want.
He will dress up for the occasion, he brings Will as well who is way under dressed, but it's always nice to see him.
I don't think Hannibal would come to every show, sometimes his appointments run late, he has a lot to do, but he will come if you have a parents night and he will come see the opening show.
If anything, Will might try and make all of them if you two are close, he knows what it's like not to have a parent show up to something so important.
Hannibal would make food for a cast party if you had one after.
No there are no people in it.
Hannibal has DVD's of all of the shows you have ever done and whips them out ALL THE TIME... The first time Will even heard of you-
"Hannibal, what are all these DVD's? Why are they labeled '_____'?" "Hm? Oh. _______ is my child, those are their performance videos." "you have a kid-" "They do musical theater, sit down, we shall watch the films." "you have...a kid-"
Beetlejuice
He's actually so upset that he can't come watch your show physically.
It's okay- there's a recorded version for him. He'll feel less bad.
He LOVES performing so this is actually perfect, but of course it is! You're his little ghoul.
He actually already knows the whole show so he is very good at helping you practice.
"Aw- toots- you're almost as good as me. Almost."
Micheal Myers (Slight RZ)
Like most things, he's indifferent.
Good luck getting him to come see even one of your shows.
He shows interest in your little hobby when you talk about it, sit next to him and talk about the show as he makes his masks. He listens.
Now.. If he does come see a show? He will only see one, most likely the last one as they are less packed (less likely anyone will recognize him,)
He'll wear a medical mask, his hair mostly covering the rest of his face, he sits in the very back.
He's slightly warmed at just how much the act meant to you.
Your director will approach you after seeing you hug the very tall man with the long hair and covered face, as he just pat you haphazardly on the head before leaving.
"______, someone you know?" "uh huh, that's my dad." "Your dad.. huh.. he seems very quiet." "Yeah, he don't say very much. I didn't think he was gonna come." "Well, I'm glad he did." "yeah, me too."
The Lost Boys
obviously, if you're going to school, you're a human still.
The only way they could come see your show would be if it was late in the evening, and they would probably show up late.
They're very happy for you and want to support you! It's just difficult with them being vampires.
Paul and Marko definitely get a kick out of acting out scenes from your script with you.
Dwayne is interested in the storyline, he also enjoys watching you act. You're in your element, it's like you're a different person.
David, on the other hand, is just amused that you're into all this stuff. It's not that he thinks its dumb or anything, he thinks you do a great job, it's just not really his scene, y'know.
But, you're their baby bat, they'd literally do anything for you, so as you're up on stage during the third song and see a blur of leather jackets and mullets sitting in the back, you can't help but smile.
"God- why are the guys from the board walk here." "They're my family :)" 'HUH-"
I watched House of 1000 corpses a couple days ago and absolutely fell in love with this blue eyed freak🧎♂️ (And Baby Firefly. Shes absolutely gorgeous, im jealous of her beautiful curls 🥹)
