Okay Sooooo, I Guess I Should Try And Give Context:

Okay sooooo, I guess I should try and give context:

Lory is an OC I made based on Angela's character in Starkid's Nightmare Time (Ep 1 Watcher World), and Parker is my human version of Peanuts the Hatchetfield pocket squirrel from TGWDLM.

The face claims are Angela and Darren Criss cause why not :3 (they're matching because I made them niece/uncle like I did with the Foster sisters)

Ummmm reblogging my own art because thats a thing people do sometimes I thinks :)

Wooooooo I love Nerdy Prudes Must Die so goddamn much and of course Richie is my favorite character because as I’ve said before I LOVE JON MATTESON so yeah :D

(I really love how the colors contrast on this one, I tried making them both very blue and red while not causing any eye strain so hopefully that translated)

ive seen so many people wondering how starkid makes such good straight couples (lautski, paulkins, etc), but i think we really need to talk about this.

in a lot of todays modern media, shows centered around straight couples are heavily focused on the sexuality of it. while they may take a few episodes to flesh out a small pining story, starkid takes that to a whole new level.

let's look at lautski for example; our first introduction (I KNOW HE WAS IN TGWDLM AND BF I DONT CARE HE WASN'T TRULY INTRODUCED UNTIL NMT) to pete and steph was nmt2's episode, 'abstinence camp'. sure, we know that sexuality played a big part in this episode, but if you pay close attention, you know that nothing ever actually happens between steph and pete, they get caught by lumberaxe and then boy jerry before they can do anything.

before then, though, we get a back story of them meeting, it's shown how steph likes him for his little quirks and oddities, and how pete is happy that someone took the time to get to know that about him. before they join showers, they talk for what feels like forever, going back and forth.

however, in nerdy prudes must die AND the guy who didn't like musicals BOTH, neither of the couples even kiss, they get close but they don't. even npmd which centers around two high school seniors over the course of a few months, not even a peck on the cheek. HOWEVER, in scenes like the summoning, we can see steph and pete both trying to hide the other behind themselves.

in tgwdlm, paul sends himself into the theater to go take down the meteor so emma has some hopes of a life.

while it's implied that they love the other in a romantic sense, it's never outright said, because you don't make romantic bonds in the situations they were in!! they made the romantic connections before the actual plot of the musical gets started!! they're so close and care so much because of the shit they went through together!!

the reason why we're so captivated by straight couples from starkid is that they don't have to be couples to show how close they are and how much they care, because at the end of the day the lang brothers know that a bond is deepest when it's pure. if you care for someone enough, you'd do anything to keep them happy, even if it isn't with you.

just read the whole thing and cried thanks for the fic rec
