Davey Is Like 100% An Insomniac. But Not In The Up-at-ungodly-hours Way In The Has-to-go-to-bed-at-8:30-else-his-melatonin-wont-work

Davey is like 100% an insomniac. But not in the up-at-ungodly-hours way in the has-to-go-to-bed-at-8:30-else-his-melatonin-won’t-work way.

Dude is like the princess and the pea, the room has to be pitch dark, he needs an audiobook, the covers have to be the right kind of cosy otherwise sleep evades him.

and he tells the studio it’s you or him and they say it’s you

Imagine, you're an actor who was hired to play a role in a movie, but the director obviously hates you and wants your role for himself. He is constantly cold toward you and tries to one-up you in everything. One day, he comes up to you, asks "Have you ever done a backflip?" You haven't. "It's easy," he says. He leaps into the air, does a backflip, and lands square on his face.

This was the actual experience of Joel Grey in Cabaret (1972).

I’m a massive book nerd, history lover, and a *huge* theatre kid.

My fandoms change with the wind but you’re likely to find me skulking around the Cabaret tags, and Newsies too. Gypsy if I’m feeling adventurous.

I do theatre, so I have some very specific headcannons for some niche shows that may one day appear here.

I’ll update probably but that’s all I can think of for now!

In the spirit of my previous post dysgraphic davey! Davey who is incredibly book smart but gets in trouble at school because he can’t handwrite! Davey who cries daily because he just CANT get what’s in his head on paper! Davey who’s so exhausted from writing all the time that he’s prone to breaking down! Davey who wants to SCREAM because nobody will believe him that he *knows* this stuff, he’s capable he’s smart, he has so much he wants to share but nobody believes him. Also Davey who tries a typewriter for the first time and breaks down because he can finally express himself, who finally has proof that he’s not dumb or wrong or broken and that he can share what he’s thinking

When after two hours of waiting the painkillers finally kick in
