In Another Life He Would Have Been Doing Theatre - Tumblr Posts

I’ve been thinking about the music arch again (just kidding it’s always playing in my head in a loop) and I still can’t get over how INSANE it was for iruma to go up to Eliza and act as if he was confessing his love to her. Like, that’s some theatre kid shit. And I know that because that’s exactly the type of shit I would pull in high school. Pretending to be in love with my homie, dressing up in a fancy outfit to propose and do a performance for them? Only to be super happy and amused when they catch onto the fact that this is a bit. That’s exactly the form of humor you have to have as a theatre nerd.

When I saw him roll up in the outfit and get on one knee I was hooting and hollering. It’s so cringy and embarrassing and I see myself in it way too much. It’s the type of fun you can only have when you are closely bonded, close enough to joke in that silly way knowing you won’t receive mean words about it. Sure, your friends WILL tease you about it but never in a cruel way. You have to be able to trust the people you play off in this way. Is Iruma in love with her? No. But he heavily admires her. And while goofing around, he still wants to make her happy. There’s a playful loving energy. These little “I’m in love with you” jokes happen because you do care about each other. And sure, in love maybe not. But willing to make a fool of yourself to make them smile? Yes indeed :)
