I hit 1K, I'm beyond grateful to all you lovelies, and to say thank you I might do a sim dump at some point this week. Thank you to everyone who follows my dumbass and loves me enough to stay around 🥰

reasons why i absolutely adore the musical if/then and why you should watch it(or a recording) if you haven’t already

this might get a little long. please message me or something if you’d rather have a properly punctuated and spaced out version for whatever reason. i don’t want to inconvenience anyone. 

ah yes the essay(kinda sorta not really) that absolutely no one has been waiting for which i used to get over my boredom in french and physics class. fun :)

alright people it’s if/then ramble time. again it’s a little long(i think it may be longer than essays i’ve written for school) so uhh it’s under the cut. 

all righty let’s get started

1. the humor. while one or two jokes might be, well, to put it lightly, dated(like liz’s vaguely biphobic comment), they are, all in all, good jokes! some of my favorites include

“i’m a fucking great kindergarten teacher” “do you use language like that in class?” “only when it’s called for.”

“i don’t think it was fate so much as it was you”

and this is just from the first song! there are so, so many more. 

2. the characters. i think it’s safe to say that to some degree, i can relate to most of them. more on that later. but even so, the most important thing is that they’re grounded in reality. each of them have virtues, shortcomings, biases, etc, etc. and it’s understandable and relatable because it’s human! i’ve noticed at times that characters end up being caricatures of a particular demographic. this is not the case here, and i’m, frankly, thankful for it. 

3. the score. okay okay okay. it is absolutely amazing and beautiful and i’m here for it. the vocals? chef’s kiss. the music? chef’s kiss. the motifs? CHEF’S KISS. i love it when specific parts of the song, such as the music or just some lyrics get reprised to a different song. it just gives a sense of congruence and continuity to the whole thing. bonus points when it breaks my heart(like how the opening notes of “here i go” and the closing notes of “i hate you” sound eerily similar increasing the emotional impact). 

3a. side note: as amazing as the songs are, i do need to admit that they truly show their magic when you properly know their context. allow me to explain. so before listening to any musical, i read the wikipedia synopsis so that (a) i have some amount of context before listening, and (b) i don’t get hit as hard emotionally when i finally end up listening to the soundtrack(now obviously that’s not the case--my eyes began to water during “unlikely lovers” of falsettos and “i hate you” of if/then during my watch throughs, for instance). well, i’m getting a bit off-track here. but anyways, i’m certain that people have expressed this before, but the wikipedia synopsis of if/then gave me absolutely zero useful context for listening to the songs. i was so confused half of the time! based on the synopsis, i thought that all songs following “what if?” (except for “surprise”, of course, which signified an intersection of timelines) were either exclusively liz songs or exclusively beth songs. for example: the songs that i thought were exclusively in the beth timeline include, “a map of new york”, “ain’t no man manhattan”(i explained my confusion in the tags of one of my reblogs this is already getting really long sorry), and “what the fuck?”; moreover, i thought “you learn to live without” was exclusively a liz song. also there’s a lot of dialogue in between stanzas of the song that’s not in the cast recording. so i guess what i’m saying is that if you have not watched/listened to it yet, watch first, listen later. don’t make the same mistake i made. 

3b. another side note: this is absolutely not relevant but i came across a recording of the dc version over spring break and i watched it and can i just say <3 <3 <3. i can certainly see how it was improved over the years but i still love both versions equally :). also anne in her pantsuit in “this day” could step on me and i could thank her. my disaster bi ass goes brrr.

4. the lighting. pretty self-explanatory. i love how the lighting distinguishes between the timelines. also the “happy birthday elizabeth” banner that lights up different letters according to the timeline. beautiful. 

5. the choreography. maybe i haven’t been looking in the right places but i haven’t seen much appreciation for this but...yeah. i’m in love with the choreography of this show! i don’t know why. it just strikes a chord with me. especially the scene near the end of “this day”. it’s so cute!

6. the representation! now this has most definitely been mentioned before by other folks, but i feel a need to highlight it as well. i guess this actually ties into my second point about the characters. it goes to prove how society is not homogeneous however it may appear to be. lovely. 

7. and most of all, the ending. my absolute favorite part about the ending is the fact that it is somewhat ambiguous(i guess that’d be the best way to put it). there’s hope, especially in the beth timeline. i love how both timelines essentially cycle back to the beginning( “here’s how it starts / and here’s how it ends”) and “switches” the roles for both of them--liz gets the job while beth finds love. while i’m not a big fan of the job/love dichotomy, i do know that one can’t get it all all at once. so i’m glad that their arcs concluded with the beginning of the other’s arc. moreover, i love that liz/beth isn’t stuck in the what if’s and what not anymore and is, overall, more decisive. we love character development! and...about the ambiguity of the ending. i think this is one ending that i am happy about and that’s certainly saying something. i mean, the main reason for canon divergence fics is the fact that (a) someone’s character arc was severely messed up, or (b) someone died. well, yes, josh technically died but he is alive in the beth timeline, so that counts for something! and i don’t really feel the need to read any canon divergence fics(not considering the fact that they don’t exist! people please the fan fiction potential for this fandom is IMMENSE). so i guess what i have to say is i’m satisfied with the ending, a thing i can’t honestly say for many of the fandoms i’m in(...not gonna elaborate on that). 

idk if i missed anything but i think that’s it.

idk if ur still doin hc thing by the time u read this but !!! im like 5'4 and ready to fight anyone who calls me short for my age. i like chilling and drawing but i also love going to like six flags or the zoo because sitting around for long amounts of time is boring. i also love video games but i prefer animal crossing bc its chill. my humor is pretty good if u ask my friends but 85% of it is dick jokes and the rest is actual comedy. also im rlly gay and i cannot stop yelling about how gay i am

tbh you’re fighting Bakugou on the first day sorry

Tetsutetsu and you would play video games all day fuck yeah 

Kaminari and you would just make innuendos for a straight six months like what the hell

announce to the world of your gay embrace the gay 

[imagineacademia]

Mind making me some of those headcanons things as well? I'm a shy, awkward, and quiet bitch at first and tend to keep to myself, but if you were to hang around with me a lot I'd be a little more outgoing. I'm pretty chill and I don't get angry a lot, but I've been told that I'm really scary when I am. I'm sarcastic and tend to joke around a lot, but I know when to be serious, which usually happens whenever I'm helping out someone with their problems. Hope this is alright and love your blog! :)

damn bich are we twins??

– 

You’d probably be on good terms with Todoroki, due to you being reliable when there is an issue at hand 

I don’t think you would be friends with everybody, but Momo and Itsuka would be one of the few only because they share similar personality traits 

people like Mineta piss you off b/c who isn’t mad at that grape chode

honestly you’d be the type to be sympathetic and really good w/ people via text or online but in rl you’re like wth lol 

[imagineacademia]

If the headcannon thing is still open: I'm a female, 4'9", with short black hair and hazel, almost green, eyes. I'm really shy at first but I open up more as time goes on. For some reason I'm prone to medical problems, but I recently got off some medicine that I thought I'd have to take forever. Ummm idk what else to put ahhh >< thanks and sorry if it's not open anymore >~<

you gots the ability to cure anyone of anything!! broken bone?? bitch come here and let me heal you, half dead?? quick let me come through and be like katara from avatar and do that glowy shit that makes u feel good and better than ever !!

with that quirk u would be friends with everyone !! even the shitheads like Bakugou!! he would actually think it’s helpful for you to have by his side so in case he fucks up you can clutch!! 

girl gang all the way tbh 

[imagineacademia]

could i have one of those headcanon thingies?(sorry im new to this) I'm super short, even for a girl and tend to be outwardly happy and full of jokes, but am known to get really quiet and get upset some times in private. big music fanatic that loves to bake pastries, and loves to draw and design things, so gets distracted very often. super forgetful and shy. Feels super connected to the night time and specifically the moon! thank you in advance! your blog is wonderful!!!

You’d best get along with Iida, Uraraka, and Midoriya 

Mina and Toru would be your best gals for sure 

Also I can see you make conversations easily with people than others, so friends with Ojiro, Sero, and Kirishima + others?? yes?? yes. 

your quirk would be similar to Tokoyami’s, you work best at night and your powers excel greatly at that time.
