Please Stop Hating On BMC

Please stop hating on BMC

I will never understand people who hate BMC and subsequently people who enjoy it. You don’t have to like it but people are absolutely horrible when it comes to the musical. Like, newer musicals get enough hate as it is can you please not add on.

BMC was a show that covered mental illness, neurodivergency, and LGBTQIA+ themes in a really interesting way. It also did so in a non problematic way. Giving a lot of empathy to the characters and fleshing them out a lot more than you see in other shows. (We’re ignoring the book here, that’s a different post)

The music was also genuinely good, and I like how it takes a more electronic style to fit the theme. It’s not perfect, I’m not saying it is, but it’s not bad.

Many people hold this show so close in there heart because they finally found characters that they found relatable. This show is a comfort space for many. A place to feel safe and understood, due to the inclusiveness of the community that the shows LGBTQIA+ and mental health themes/undertones set up.

I understand the show might not be everyone’s cup of tea. But please for the love of musical theater be respectful.

I’m an artist with dysgraphia as well. And I’ve always struggled with things. My style is inconsistent, the things in my head just do not come out in paper no matter what I do, and just overall art can be extremely difficult for me. It’s very hard for me to figure out where the line between my disability and my lack of skill are and it’s incredibly frustrating.

and I’ve always had this worry that I’m just horrible at art even though I know that’s not true and that it shouldn’t even matter!

especially when I’m drawing stuff with writing or some words because it takes so long for me to write legibly and spell everything correctly.

When I say I’m a disabled artist, I don’t mean “oh look I’m an autistic artist who draws their special internets!” I mean “I have dysgraphia and it effects my art and style in a impactful way. I work very hard to work with my dysgraphia but it’s still difficult”

Unrelated note: did some light TV Tropes research and apparently Richard Paul Evans based Abi and McKenna off his IRL daughters, which is interesting.

yea that is interesting. Would not have guessed that.

I hate my brain sometimes

Why can’t I hyper fixate on, like, the MCU or HP or something with a huge fandom. No! Instead my brains like “Yano these books/movies with little to no fandom? Yea that’s the stuff.”

Hello Gregor The Overlander and Michael Vey fandoms. How are you today? And an honorable mention to the nonexistent Dull Boy (book) fandom. I wish you existed.

I mean, obviously I draw for WOF but that’s just for art, i like dragons and designing, I don’t really care much for the story. And then BMC but I wouldn’t say the fandoms small just not quite the MCU or Harry Potter.

Did anyone order some mudwing siblings?

My OC Rainbow, I love him so much!
