UM UM MICHAEL FOR THE CHARACTER BINGO 🙏🙏‼️

Michael was my favorite character for a very long time- and I still love and adore him, I just have somewhat moved on from him being my number one.

That does not however dismiss the damage he did to my personality by being my favorite character of all time for three straight years and a background favorite character for six.

For the popular ship square, I said kind of, because while I used to be insane for Jeremy/Michael, I’m a lot more interested in their dynamic as friends now. But, the other ship I consider popular for him (Rich/Michael) has been so poisoned for me in the past that I cannot find an ounce of joy in it and actively dislike it.

Also fandom gets really fucking weird about him- particularly when they water down his character and baby-fy him. Or the obsession with the fact that he’s Filipino while ignoring the fact that he’s Ecuadorian. Weird behavior.

Anyway, Michael Mell. Love him, adore him.

he’s just a swinging space age bachelor man!!!!

literally me when falsettos ao3:

I love when people take the girls in bmc and make them more than what the musical could provide bc they deserve it

Candles in The Marvin Trilogy as Trina's relationships with men!!

The one Marvin blew out in a single breath when he made up his mind for good.

The menorah Mendel brought into their home, symbolically fitting as it was a miracle their relationship had lasted as long and burned as brightly as it did. (They were supposed to part after five sessions after all!)

The one she lit for Whizzer when she truly accepted him as family. Blown out too soon, but lovely while it lasted.
