could you write some angst to fluff like maybe eddie’s your ex and he drunk calls you and just keeps apologizing and begging to see you so you go to his house and make up

Try This Again

Pairing: Eddie Munson x Female!Reader

Word Count: 1.3K

Warning: swearing, drugs, drinking

A/N: This is the first request I've written. I hope you like it!

Eddie lay on the bed, a blunt between his fingers and smoke billowing out of his mouth. Beer cans littered the floor. 1, 2, 6? He could no longer count how many he had, trying anything to numb the pain he was feeling. He faintly heard music playing in his daze.

“She needed so much more than I could give…” Steve Perry’s voice flowing out of the speakers from your favorite Journey tape that he was too selfish to return. Eddie turned the music off, no longer wanting to hear those lyrics. He never knew he could relate to a Journey song, but here he was; you deserved better than what he could ever give you. Two weeks ago, he decided to act upon the thoughts eating him alive and break up with you.

Eddie had just dropped you off at your house after school. He opened his car door for you and walked you up to the door like he always did. Only he was uncharacteristically quiet and didn’t kiss you goodbye.

“Hey, uh, can we talk?” Eddie asked, wringing his hands. You could tell he was nervous.

“What? You’re not breaking up with me, are you?” you laughed, trying to ease the tension. When Eddie didn’t laugh at your joke, panic began to sink in. He wouldn’t break up with you, would he? “Eddie?”

“(Y/N),” he started slowly. “I don’t think this is working out between us.”

Your heart felt like it was about to burst from your chest. “What are you talking about, Eddie? Things have been perfect between the two of us. We love each other.”

Eddie sighed, “Things may be perfect for you but not for me.”

“I don’t understand. Why are you saying this?” you asked, hot tears rolling down your face.

“I just don’t see a future with you. There is no point in continuing our relationship. We might as well rip the bandaid off now. I’m sorry,” Eddie said with no remorse as if the past year meant nothing to him.

You let out a sob, “fuck you, Eddie!” You turned around and slammed the door in his face.

The memory of you crying is ingrained in his head. No amount of weed or alcohol could wipe it away. Eddie got up off his bed and grabbed the phone. His fingers dialed the number he had become so familiar with, your number. The phone rang and rang. He was sure no one would pick up. Before his brain could even register what he was doing, he heard a click and a soft voice laced with sleep call out, “Hello?”

Eddie panicked. “Hello? Is anyone there?” There it was again, your voice. It made his heart clench.

“Uh, hey. It’s me,” he said, running a hand over his face. He could hear you let out a sigh on the other end.

“Eddie, what the hell do you want? You know what time it is, right? I’m going back to bed,” you answered with a slight hint of anger in your tone.

“No, wait! Please don’t hang up! I know that I am probably the last person you want to hear from, but I can’t stop thinking about you, and your favorite song was playing, and I miss you, and gosh, I’m such an ass, okay?” He rambled on but was met with silence. “I’m sorry, I’m so fucking sorry. I didn’t mean anything I said. Please come over. I need to talk to you.” You knew Eddie well and could tell he was intoxicated.

You let out a sigh, “Eddie, you’re drunk. Call me when you’re sober, then maybe we can talk.” You hung up the phone.

“Shit!” Eddie yelled out and slammed the phone. He ran his hands through his hair before falling down on his bed. He slipped into a dreamless sleep, completely worn out in his attempt to forget about you. You, on the other hand, could not sleep. How could you when he dropped all of that on you?

The next morning, Eddie woke up with a pounding headache. The events from last night came rushing back to him. Eddie groaned and got up to shower, trying to make himself look presentable. After he finished, he rushed to his van and took off towards your house. He had to make things right with you.

When he reached your house, he ran to the door. His fist lifted to knock, but he hesitated. He would be lying if he said he wasn’t nervous to see you again, worried about what you might say. He pushed those thoughts aside and knocked anyway. After a few moments, the door swung open to reveal you standing there, still in your pajamas with your hair a mess.

God, Eddie thought you were so beautiful. He awkwardly waved. “Hey, uh, you said to call you when I was sober, but I thought we should talk in person.” You nodded your head, signaling him to continue. “I meant every word I said last night. I truly am sorry. I know I was a total ass to you. Nothing about what I did was okay.

“Then why did you do it in the first place?” You questioned. You walked over to your porch swing and sat down, motioning for Eddie to join you. He took a seat. He looked at your hands before looking back into your eyes. The look you gave him granted a silent approval. Eddie slowly took your left hand in his and laced his fingers with yours. You still may be mad at him, but that didn’t mean you no longer loved him; you wanted to hear what he had to say.

“I was a coward. I was scared. And honestly, I was fucking insecure. You are insanely smart and beautiful. You’re about to go off to college at Butler. I know you’ll meet new people, make new friends, maybe even guys. I know I can’t compete with any of them. You deserve better than a guy who is about to start his senior year for the third time,” Eddie hung his head.

“Don’t I get to make that decision for myself? And why didn’t you tell me any of this? Eddie, I don’t give a shit that you’re still in high school. It’s not your fault that the school system sucks. If I thought it was a problem, I could have just broken up with you after I found out you had to repeat, but I didn’t, did I?” You said, squeezing his hand.

“No, you didn’t,” He realized how stupid it all sounded, but he couldn’t help it. He thought he was doing what was best for you, setting you free so you could flourish without him holding you back.

You continued, “Eddie, I think you’re also extremely smart, clever, funny, handsome. God, you make me feel more alive than I’ve ever felt. But you also broke my heart. You told me you didn’t see a future with me and that really hurt.”

“I was lying when I said I didn’t see a future with you. I wanna marry you, I wanna have a family with you. Shit, (Y/N), you’re it for me. You’re the one,” Eddie confessed, a tint of red on his cheeks.

“Is that so? Who said I would even say yes?” You asked, raising your eyebrow with your arms crossed.

“Oh, come on. Look at me. You know I'm irresistible,“ he smirked, gesturing to his body. There’s the confident Eddie that you love. “But seriously though, I can’t say I’m sorry enough. Can we try this again? I miss you” he begged. You know you couldn’t say no to him and would be lying if you said you didn’t miss him too.

“Fine, I guess we can try again. But if you ever pull this crap again and not come to me first, I will hurt you, Eddie Munson. You understand?”

Eddie laughed, “Yes, ma’am. But really though, I'm gonna make you my wife one day, mark my words,” Eddie said with a cheeky smile, pulling you in for a kiss, not missing a beat. Eddie wasn’t going to make the same mistake again, you were his forever.

Accidentally in Love

Written By: Adam Duritz, Dan Vickrey, David Bryson, David Immergluck & Matthew Malley

Artist: Counting Crows

Released: 2004

“I was really struggling with it. I generally don’t write songs on demand, and I almost got to the point where I thought I wasn’t going to do it. They just told me that the song had to be uplifting. They actually said, ‘Don’t write a song about Shrek. Write a song that’s about you.’ The funny thing is, the song ended up reflecting a lot of what was going on in my life at the time: falling in love with someone you’re not supposed to fall in love with because it’s inconvenient. My songs for Counting Crows are mature and generally don’t get a chance to reach kids. To be part of something like that is pretty cool.” – Adam Duritz via Billboard

[Verse 1] So, she said, "What's the problem, baby?" What's the problem? I don't know Well, maybe I'm in love (Love) Think about it Every time I think about it Can't stop thinking 'bout it How much longer will it take to cure this? Just to cure it, 'cause I can't ignore it if it's love (Love) Makes me wanna turn around and face me But I don't know nothin' 'bout love, uh [Chorus] Come on, come on Turn a little faster Come on, come on The world will follow after Come on, come on Because everybody's after love [Verse 2] So I said, I'm a snowball runnin' Runnin' down into the spring that's comin' All this love meltin' under blue skies Belting out sunlight, shimmering love Well, baby, I surrender To this strawberry ice cream Never-ever-ender All this love Well, I didn't mean to do it But there's no escaping your love, oh [Bridge] These lines of lightnin' mean we're never alone Never alone No, no [Chorus] Come on, come on Move a little closer Come on, come on I wanna hear you whisper Come on, come on Settle down inside my love, ohh Come on, come on Jump a little higher Come on, come on If you feel a little lighter Come on, come on We were once upon a time in love [Post-Chorus] We're accidentally in love, accidentally in love Accidentally in love, accidentally in love Accidentally in love, accidentally in love Accidentally in love, accidentally in love Accidentally, I'm in love, I'm in love [Refrain] I'm in love, I'm in love I'm in love, I'm in love Accidentally, I'm in love, I'm in love I'm in love, I'm in love I'm in love, I'm in love Accidentally [Chorus] Come on, come on (Come on) Spin a little tighter Come on, come on (Come on) And the world's a little brighter Come on, come on (Come on) Just get yourself inside her love I'm in love

A Thousand Years

Written By: Christina Perri & David Hodges

Artist: Christina Perri

Released: 2011

Alternate version included: A Thousand Years Pt. II feat. Steve Kazee, 2012

“A Thousand Years” is about an eternal love. It was written by Christina Perri, specifically for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 soundtrack. Christina Perri explained her inspiration for writing the song in a 2012 interview. She said “The producers came to me in 2011 and said, ‘can you write a song for Breaking Dawn – Part 1?’ So I went and saw the film six months before it came out, and wrote ‘A Thousand Years’ for Edward and Bella. I’m not a vampire, even though I wish I was, but I tried to step into their love story.”

[Verse 1] Heart beats fast Colors and promises How to be brave? How can I love when I'm Afraid to fall? But watching you stand alone All of my doubt Suddenly goes away somehow [Pre-Chorus] One step closer [Chorus] I have died every day waiting for you Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you For a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more [Verse 2] Time stands still Beauty in all she is I will be brave I will not let anything Take away What's standing in front of me Every breath Every hour has come to this [Pre-Chorus] One step closer [Chorus] I have died every day waiting for you Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more And all along I believed I would find you Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more [Bridge] One step closer One step closer [Chorus] I have died every day waiting for you Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more And all along I believed I would find you Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more

I’m finally writing the Steve x Nancy chapter for come home to my heart and created an official playlist for it, so now I’m making it everyone else’s problem:

Supercut — Lorde

I mean I titled the fic after this song for a reason, it’s THE post-breakup regret anthem, but special credit goes to the chorus:

Halloween — Phoebe Bridgers

It’s a song about a relationship on it’s last legs celebrating Halloween, what else was I supposed to do! The lyrics are a surprising fit throughout. Plus the whole outro of the ‘whatever you want’ motif fits exactly with how at the party, Nancy is trying to be the version of herself that Steve wants her to be (or at least that she thinks he wants her to be).

This Love — Taylor Swift

Literally this is their season 4 song. “You showed up just in time” are you kidding me?? Every line is perfect, like I can’t even highlight any in particular, it’s all so good.

Tell Me How — Paramore

Mostly just the first two lines because it’s literally one of the most heartbreaking lyrics I’ve ever heard in my life. Hayley Williams, why would you do this to me?

Never Get to Hold You — Carly Rae Jepsen

It would not be a playlist of mine without CRJ. Simple, but so gorgeous.

When I Needed You - Carly Rae Jepsen

This song is objectively perfect as a song, though a slightly more depressing take on their relationship than I’d ultimately prefer. However, half the fun of this ship for me is the drama and angst and messiness, so a little bitterness about their troubled past is great for flavor.

Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince — Taylor Swift

I don’t think I actually know what this song is about, but I don’t care, the title is great and the version in my head is better. For me the easiest interpretation is through a season 1 lens, with Nancy as Miss Americana and Steve as the titular Heartbreak Prince.

The Chain — Fleetwood Mac

What? A song released before 2015 by someone other than a pop girlie? I’m surprised too. Honestly Rumors is maybe a perfect Steve x Nancy x Jonathan album because they’re such a hot angsty mess. But special mention goes to this song for being perfect.

Comeback — Carly Rae Jepsen

I can’t help it that Carly Rae Jepsen writes perfect songs about yearning. She does and I love every one.

Okay, I’ve run out of steam and pictures, but here’s some other songs of note: Never Really Over — Katy Perry, cardigan — Taylor Swift, the 1 — Taylor Swift, Jackie and Wilson — Hozier, Cry — Carly Rae Jepsen, and so many more, I’ve spent too much time thinking about this.

Anyway, I hope this was fun for anyone but me!

#stancy #stranger things 4 #stranger things #steve harrington #nancy wheeler #also I am pro-Stoncy but having a lot of fun with the Stancy revival #i made this instead of actually writing the fic

Back again for the celebration! Can I please get a Bloody Mary this time, for the Marauders Era, Dead Poets Society, and The Outsiders?

GENDER PREFERENCE: None!

FIVE FACTS:

I’m autistic!

I am obsessed with musical theatre (my favorite musical at the moment is the 2019 Oklahoma! revival).

I love both Marvel and DC and refuse to pick between them.

I have a photographic memory, which most people think means I’m super smart, but mainly all the stuff I remember is just random musical lyrics and lines from a book I read once three years ago (😅).

I really love podcasts! My favorites at the moment are Welcome to Night Vale, The Magnus Archives, and My Favorite Murder.

Hope that’s good enough! Congrats again, babes!! 🖤🖤🖤

RAVEN BBY IM SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG 😭

marauders - james potter

dps - neil perry

the outsiders (even tho i dont write for it anymore lmao) - either steve randle or sodapop curtis <3

#asks!#raven <3 #juneberrie's 300 — ♡

After sitting for days in the sad news of Jeff Beck’s passing, I feel I would be remiss if I didn’t share my thoughts and feelings.

No one, and I mean no one, played more lyrical guitar than Jeff Beck. He always had a bold insistence to play timeless melodies with simple emotional phrasing, like no other.

My dream was that some day,

I’d get to sing with him.

His passing left a one of a kind void that will never be filled !

God speed Jeff…

My deepest condolences to his family…

Sincerely, Steve Perry

d'you know, we binged all of stranger things the last couple of weeks (loved it), and there are three things that really bug me: 1) what they did to eddie; 2) what they did to bob (jostling for first place there); and 3) WHAT THEY DID TO SEPARATE WAYS. I mean...seriously. I've been listening to my Upside Down playlist on Spotify (which is, let's face it, the 'on repeat' playlist with the addition of Running Up That Hill, Should I Stay Or Should I Go, Master of Puppets and whatever the fuck that mix of Separate Ways is supposed to be; I mean, those songs could well be in my on repeat at any given time anyway...) and they use the 'real' songs for the others, but the Separate Ways mix just...removes almost all that's actually great about the song, by which I mean Steve Perry's vocals. The...uh, the lyrics...they're important, right? I mean, they've messed with the melody as well, but the lyrics...like...omg. Guys. If you haven't heard the original, but you've heard the version they used in the show, DO YOURSELVES A FAVOUR and go find it. It's SO MUCH BETTER. I might even go so far as to say it is a) EPIC and b) better than Don't Stop Believin'. (also it is the song that I spent an entire summer humming in my head with no idea what it was, and had to go to the DJ at my regular rock night in the city I went to uni in, when I went back in the autumn, and sing it at him, because the internet didn't exist then...and of course he knew exactly what it was. Pouring one out for Gaz right now, who I miss enormously.)

Look. Here it is. Please give it a listen, it's so much better than whatever that mix was supposed to be.

#stranger things spoilers #i guess #journey #look i've had a drink and it bothers me when people mess with the classics like this #with no respect for the original #i love mashups and remixes #but...you've got to keep what makes the original special #and this one totally dropped the ball #aargh

Ryan O Neill has just announced his upcoming single: FLY.

Ryan O Neil is an artist and songwriter who knows how to create music that has a deeper meaning, yet retains a very catchy twist that will seamlessly appeal to people with its melodies, warmth and authenticity. Recently, this talented musician announced the upcoming release of his latest single, FLY. The new studio work represent the pinnacle of modern production in music. It’s diverse, vibrant and catchy, yet it retains a lot of depth and an undeniable look for great songwriting and high-quality music.

FLY is a soulful ballad that explores the theme of self-discovery, with a strong and encouraging message to people. Sometimes, we need to take a leap, spread our wings and take off! The uplifting lyrics are beautifully underscored by the tracks’s piano-driven sound. The instrumental is very smooth and bright, but also energetic, enabling the vocals to stand out with a blend of pop-rock, Americana and more.

This release marks a fascinating new beginning for Ryan, and it is yet another moment of outstanding creativity, sporting so much personality and a keen ear for world-class production and sound design.

Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears I welcome your input.Īll these lines on my face getting clearer

#Aerosmith dream on lyrics free#

It could also be viewed as the singer asking the listener to keep working hard until certain goals in life are achieved, "Dream until your dreams come true." Fell free to correct me if you think otherwise. I have few: Steve was so dunk when he wrote this, he just put together two words to complete the chorus. Shocking, isn't it? But I think it's open to your own interpretation. If you do what the "toxic twins" did in the 1970s, you are definitely going to spend some time in a hospital bed. Aerosmith fans should adopt what Aerosmith is saying, not what they do. You can also listen to Aerosmith - Dream on- Lyrics song stream on MP3 Music.

So,as sung in the previous lines, try to enjoy every minute of life. "Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away" states that death could come upon us any minute. So everybody, like the singer himself, kind of has to "go with the flow" and eventually die. "I know nobody knows /Where it comes and where it goes" refers to idea that nobody is intelligent enough to understand life in it's deepest form, and all the attributes of it - aging being one. Instead of saying "time flies", Steven Tyler sings "The past is gone /It went by, like dusk to dawn" with the use of an alliteration. "Every time when I look in the mirror/ All these lines on my face getting clearer" states a person who has come to accept the fact that aging cannot be stopped, and it's a part of life. The song is about the life in general, with an emphasis on the process of aging. In fact, "Dream On" is one of the handful of songs that is recognized as a rock anthem. To this day, it's very popular among rock and pop radio stations. Free printable and easy chords for song by Aerosmith - Dream On. It's also a fan favorite, and according, has become a staple on their liveset. It's simply a masterpiece for a rock duo known as "toxic twins."

But no, we don't do that, we just use the "Also performed by" field. And that would meant, to add dozen of Beatles songs on his profile. Thats why we have the field "Also performed by", where we usually add the different artists that covered the song (or some band member during their solo career).Įxample: With your logic, then I should add all the Beatles songs Paul McCartney performed during his solo career. It is not necessary (and maybe you shouldn't) add a live version just because you want to. The song has never been released on a Steven Tyler's album. You added a song only for the live version of the video.

Mini playlists: Camp Cretaceous ships (1/3)

Hi everyone! So, I always have music playing when I write my fics and certain songs I reserve for certain ships, so I'm going to give you my top five for each of my favorite CC ships, and a small explanation why. If you like the songs or have your own to add to the ship playlist, let me know in the comments, asks or anon ask if your not ready to publicly engage.

Also, please no ship hate, and I don't mean just on my page.

All ships are valid and special in thier own to those who ship them, so please don't go starting fights and making people feel bad about what they ship.

Dinostar (DariusxBrooklynn)

5. We Are Giants-Lindsey Sterling (feat. Christina Perry)

I really liked this song because of a part along with bridge of the song. It's more of Darius' song, but Brooklynn is the perfect partner to accompany the emotions and crescendo, as they work best as a pair, Darius the leader and Brooklynn supporting him. "Raise your flag; Let your voice be heard, Put your heart into every word you say All your failures' a cornerstone Build a house with the things you've thrown away

Feels like you're standing there so small Just the space between the stars Don't be afraid to risk it all..."

4. Inside Out-Zedd (feat. Griff)

No lyrics for this one, this was strictly on rhythm and flow, on top of the singer's voice reminding me of Brooklynn. Just a filler song that's really, really catchy!

3. My Way-Steve Aoki and Aloe Blacc

Steve Aoki will always have a special place in my heart, since he played at a club in Washington when I had first come out. This is another Darius centric song, but I know this goes double for Brooklynn.

"People say I'm foolish People say I'm blinded by faith But if I run out of air, if I crash I don't care I'm gonna do it my way I can make it through this You can throw the world in my face But the fear gives me life and I swear 'til I die I'm gonna do it my way"

2. The Age of Wonderbeasts (Full Track, Kipo OST)- Vanessa Michaels, Keeley Bumford

Finally a Brooklynn centered song, I feel like this is her at her best when Darius goes on about dinosaurs and she lets herself be Brooklynn, not internet famous Brooklynn, just Brooklynn. Plus...its a fun song.

"Everywhere we go, we gon' light it up Show up, show love, we gon' rise above Hey, life's a party Under the sun, been through it all with you New age, let's go discover This life is full of wonder Hold on to me, we're celebratin' Yeah, yeah, yeah woo!"

1. Rise-David Guetta (Feat. Skyler Grey)

Why is this my main ship song for Darius and Brooklynn? As I mentioned, my favorite part of this ship is how they tend to be a unit. And the lyrics speak for both of them as a whole, and an extension to the rest of the group.

"You can take a swing at my ego, you can make a run for my crown. Even with an army of people you ain't gonna take us down. No! You can aim your evil right at us, you can drop your bombs on the ground. Even if your stand makes me nervous, you ain't gonna take us down. There'll be no need for crying if darkness fills the skies. We'll go on forever like the phoenix we will rise up from the ashes. This world is ours tonight We'll go on forever like the phoenix we will rise. We will rise."

Hello I love Steve Perry

STEVE PERRY - MOTHER, FATHER

December 16, 2005

By Mitch Lafon

Steve: Twenty-four years ago when I did that DVD – when we recorded it for MTV, it was a different landscape at that time, of course. MTV had aired for the first time in August of ’81 and three months later we were recording this for MTV. It was a brave new world with this video music thing... (pauses) It was a different time – we had a mission as a group... (pauses) I emotionally was unstoppable... (pauses) My mother was alive and pulling for me. My father (though they weren’t together) was pulling for me. My grandfather was alive... The whole landscape of that has changed... (pauses) You lose some of the incentive that you didn’t realize was driving you to do good... to do it... to do IT. Now, that it’s been done I’m trying my best to digest it. When I was doing this DVD, it was an emotional roller coaster that I didn’t expect. A friend of mine warned me because he knows me well. He’s a TV director and he said ‘I know you. You’re going to get in there and be mixing and editing and it’s going to be rough on you.’ I said ‘Ah, no biggie man – c’mon I did the other DVD.’ And he said ‘But that was assembling videos and synching up new masterings. This is going to be different. It’s like making a mini-film.’ And oh, God – he was right. It drove me... It dragged me through a plethora of emotions that I didn’t expect. When I heard ‘Open Arms’ I got choked up. There are certain vocal things I did in ‘Open Arms’ that I’m not sure I’ll be able to pull off exactly like that again because it was such a moment and I had reached beyond the master recordings to what I knew it could be. For example the lyric in the second verse ‘wanting you near’ that lyric is sung exactly the way I wanted it to be sung and I didn’t know I hit it. I didn’t know I got it. So, I’m sitting there mixing and watching the QuickTime video because I have to pay attention to audio and visual... so I’m watching it and just being dragged through... (pauses) through the whole thing again. The Whole Thing AGAIN! I’m dragged through our time together. I’m dragged through, ‘What happened?’ We were great together and then I’m dragged through the people who thought we weren’t great and who used to belittle us in the press and I thought ‘Fuck them too.’ How can that be fucked up? We were great! See, you assholes... you know what I mean? We weren’t fucked up – you used to tell us we were faceless and corporate and all these horrible things and all we were trying to do was keep our focus and play what we loved. Now, I’m looking back at it for the first time as a person in the audience... I’m not in the band and it’s been years since I’ve been in the band. It’s been years since I’ve been on that stage. I’m an older guy and this young kid up there on that stage believed in what he believed in and damned if it wasn’t pretty good and I got emotional about it. I just felt vindicated. I really felt vindicated for my beliefs and my faith and my tenacity that I got such a bad rep for... it’s just that I was NOT going to lay down. Bette Davis said “If you have a bad reputation – you must be doing something right.’”

Dear Evan Hansen May Be the Most Uncomfortable Musical Ever Made

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

There was a moment near the beginning of Robert Zemeckis’ odyssey into mo-cap animation where the press believed the magic trick: Yes, these soulless dead-eyed automatons who kind of look like Tom Hanks in a Santa suit are the future, we were told. Yet no matter how much digital snow was drawn on Hanks’ head, never once did anyone feel Christmas cheer. I was reminded of this trip to the uncanny valley while watching Dear Evan Hansen. And not just because of the incredulity of producers thinking actor Ben Platt could still pass for a teenager while pushing 30.

To be sure, there is some definite Steve Buscemi with a skateboard energy to the way Platt hunches his shoulders and quivers his lip, attempting to mimic high school awkwardness and appearing just awkward. However, you don’t need to be John Travolta or Olivia Newton-John to lull an audience into a suspension of disbelief. No, the issue with Dear Evan Hansen is a tone deaf and wall-to-wall cringe of a plot that somehow got a pass on stage. Whether something was lost in translation or if intent was mistaken for achievement is not exactly clear. But either way, this is a stunning whiff on a fundamental level, one which spectacularly misreads the implications of its fable and naively endorses the healing power of social media likes. If this were on one of those apps, you would unsubscribe.

The machinations of Dear Evan Hansen‘s passion play begin when Evan Hansen (Platt) writes a letter to himself which reads like a desperate cry for help. These self-directed correspondences were the idea of Evan’s therapist due to the high schooler’s bouts of anxiety or maybe depression. It’s vague. Whatever the case, when fellow loner Connor (Colton Ryan) reads the note and keeps it, things quickly spiral out of hand because Connor kills himself.

Mistaking the letter as Connor’s suicide note, the boy’s grieving parents (Amy Adams and Danny Pino) connect with Evan, eager to cling to something, anything, left of their son. Evan tries to tell them the truth, but they seem so sad, and Connor’s sister Zoe (Kaitlyn Dever) is just so cute, that maybe Evan will let this whole misunderstanding ride. Sure, he’ll say, he was Connor’s best friend. And hey, since Evan will sing about loving thyself on YouTube, this makes him a tragic hero for the alienated and downtrodden, right? Right?!

A theater phenomenon when it premiered first Off-Broadway and then on the Great White Way in 2016, Dear Evan Hansen was previously received as a poppy tearjerker that spoke to the importance of helping those living with mental illness, and finding a way for those who feel like outsiders to be made welcome. The last element proved especially appealing to commercial interests, in no small part because of Benji Pasek and Justin Paul’s music and lyrics about teenage loneliness, and Platt’s undeniably heartfelt performance.

Yet not unlike when Cats was transferred to cinema, flaws that could previously be glossed over in a theater were now glaring on film sets. Also similar to Cats, the choices made here by director Stephen Chbosky and screenwriter Steven Levenson (who works from his own Tony-winning book) often undermine musical moments that might’ve played a bit better on the boards. For instance, a song wherein Evan Hansen and an imaginary version of the dead Connor sing a jolly duet could work in a medium where artifice is high, but in a film photographed at a bland, beige high school, the sequence borders on tasteless.

That insistence in grounding this in a visual verisimilitude—wherein the clear intent is that this will be seen as an important movie, the kind that wins awards—poorly serves the film’s lead performance, with Platt at times looking like a sweatier version of Matthew McConaughey in Dazed and Confused: the old guy cruising for high school girls. But it also exposes the saccharine limitations of the narrative.

Dear Evan Hansen is a story in which a lonely kid makes a horrible mistake and then doubles down on exploiting another lonely kid’s suicide because of the instant gratification it gives him as a social media celebrity, and because it allows him to insinuate himself among a grieving family. Rather than deeply exploring the unpleasant and even cruel consequences of these choices, the film weaves and dodges, attempting to always make excuses for Evan’s actions and assure viewers he’s a nice, relatable every-teen. He is a character suffering from mental illness, but the script never takes the time to address what that mental illness is.

His sudden popularity on Instagram and TikTok is thus treated as meaningful growth for both him and the whole school, rather than the performative and vapid exploitation of tragedy that it is. And that vapidity is then couched in admittedly ear-wormy songs about self-acceptance with all the depth and specificity of a Katy Perry anthem. But then perhaps that’s the point since Perry-esque ballads in Pasek and Paul’s last movie musical, The Greatest Showman, became instant social media sensations too.

There is an early scene in Dear Evan Hansen where a couple of teenagers who were low-key mean girl bullying Connor take a selfie in front of the now dead kid’s locker; it’s a feigned show of belated compassion. A cynic might argue this is what the entire movie is doing, although that would be too harsh. The film’s heart is in the right place, with hopes and aspirations to have a serious conversation about difficult issues. Nonetheless, the end result is pretty much the same. Like its lead character, the movie doesn’t realize its paying lip-service to trauma and the lonely for its own benefit, and the fact it is then so pleased with its cloying bromides makes this infinitely more uncomfortable to watch than CGI pussycats.

Dear Evan Hansen premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. It opens in U.S. theaters on Sept. 24 and in the UK on Oct. 22.

35k, PG, Finn/Sam, pre-slash, pre-canon, camp, series, drama

from chapter 3

Every time Finn and Sam were around the campfire after that, Finn encouraged him to sing. Sometimes it was with Aggie’s borrowed guitar, and sometimes it was just him, without any accompaniment. Sam had a strong, melodic voice, and it didn’t really need the guitar, but Finn noticed he was louder and more confident when he was strumming along, and that was great to witness.

One evening, after most of the guys had gone back to their cabins and Finn and Sam were there tending the dying fire, Sam turned to him curiously. “How come you never sing by yourself? I mean, I would play anything you wanted to sing.”

“I don’t sing,” Finn shook his head perhaps a little too quickly, “that’s kind of the rule me and Puck have. Like, he’s the front man for the band, and I get to do the harmonies and stuff when we mess around.”

Sam seemed to accept that at face value, which suited Finn just fine, even if it involved throwing Puck under the bus with the implication that Puck had decided on the rule. When really, it was because whenever Finn had taken lead vocals, he’d managed to almost put the beater through the kick drum, he got so tense.

“The thing is, I can barely hear you when I’m singing,” Sam said, poking the fire with a long stick. “I’m kind of loud in my own ears, if you know what I mean. But what I can hear sounds really good.”

He smiled over his shoulder at Finn, not teasing, not waiting for Finn to say something, just because that was how Sam was. Being next to him, watching him smile like that, gave Finn courage. He took a deep breath. “I, uh… I used to sing all the time, when I was a kid. My mom had all these cassette tapes, and we’d play and sing in the kitchen and in the car. And she dated this guy, Darren. He always said I should be a singer when I grew up.”

“Sounds like he was really supportive.” Sam turned so he was facing Finn, digging the stick into the ground so he could lean against it, “What about your mom? Did she... not like it?” He quickly added, “I just... you don’t sing anymore, so I assume someone convinced you not to, or something.”

“Nobody,” Finn said, shrugging. “I mean, nobody in particular. You know how guys are. It just stopped being cool to do stuff like that. Like playing video games or reading comics. Me and Puck, we still do those things together, but… we don’t tell anybody? That would kind of be the death of our popularity, and Quinn, she thinks that’s really important.”

Sam nodded slowly, and in the darkness and the firelight it was hard to read much of his expression, “I guess people don’t do a lot of things they want to do. But, everyone here likes the singing. And I definitely do, and I like comic books and video games, so you already know I’m super lame.” He reached forward to nudge Finn’s knee with his fingers as Finn chuckled. “If you ever wanted to try with me, that’d be cool.”

“Try singing? I mean, we’ve done that lots.” Finn gave him a nervous smile. “Maybe if nobody else was around, I would. If it was just us.”

Sam looked down at the log they were sitting on for a long moment before he looked back and smiled, “I mean, Sean’s always sneaking over to the cheerleading camp, right? You come and get me when you’re ready, and I’m happy to listen.”

It didn’t happen that night, or the night after that, but Finn thought about Sam’s suggestion a lot, maybe more than he should have. It was running through his mind pretty much all the time when he wasn’t focusing on something else. Which, unfortunately, seemed to be during a lot of the practices.

“Hudson! Are you planning on running at any point this morning!” Coach Tyler yelled, and Finn picked up the pace as he quickly as he could until he was next to Sean again.

“Look, dude,” Sean looked around and gave Finn a pointed look, “You need to focus.”

“I’m trying—”

“No, your mind’s somewhere else,” Sean reached over and tapped the side of his head with the back of his hand. “Listen, I get it. You’re not finding this challenging. But the QB boat has sailed, and you need to be giving this your all, okay? Now... What can I do to get your mind off whatever it’s on, and back on these plays? Because we’ve got our second game coming up, and if Lucas loses to Sam’s team? He’s gonna be fucking insufferable.”

“Seriously, it’s nothing. It’s just something between me and Sam.” Finn shook his head, “We haven’t had time to really work it out—”

“Great. Me and Aggie are gonna go smoke weed in another cabin tonight. So, you and Sam can pick a room and hash this all out, before I lose my patience with you, dweeb.”

Finn watched as Sean moved away and was about to move himself when there was a hand on his shoulder, stopping him dead. He winced, expecting to see Coach Tyler, but instead Lucas was looking at him with a very neutral expression. “You’re interested in being QB?”

“Kind of?” Finn tried to settle under Lucas’s gaze. He’d been friendly enough to him, but then he’d turn around and be terrible to Aggie. Finn didn’t trust him. “I mean, yeah, I’m interested, but… that’s your position, right? Yours and Sam’s?”

“It’s like saying the circus belongs to the ringmaster and the accordion-playing monkey,” Lucas rolled his eyes, and looked Finn up and down, “I’m not going to be playing next year, and I kind of like the idea of passing this on to someone. I mean, you’ve got shitty taste in friends, but...” He shrugged. “I’ll find you when I’m ready, Hudson.”

Finn watched him walk away, feeling much the same as he had when Darren told him he should be a singer. Seriously, if I had your voice, my group would still exist. Keep it up. He felt a shiver. It didn’t matter in that moment if Sam wanted to be QB or not. He pictured himself on the field, in the center of the team, calling the plays, catching the hike, passing the ball for the touchdown. It actually felt possible.

Maybe that was why, when Sam asked him at dinner, “So are we singing tonight by the fire?” Finn shook his head.

“Aggie and Sean are busy,” he said. “We can be alone in the cabin.”

“Oh.” Sam seemed to hesitate, causing the line of people waiting for food behind him to stop for a moment, before he quickly took a step forward again. “Yeah. Okay. Uh, your room or mine?”

“Whatever. Except our room has that chair with no arms. It might be easier for you to play guitar sitting there, instead of on the bed?”

“Isn’t that chair really uncomfortable?” Sam said, walking straight past the salad bar without stopping. “I mean, I’m fine with either. The chair sounds great. Just, if you want the bed instead, I can make that work.”

It turned out the evening was drizzly, anyway, so Finn didn’t feel so bad keeping Sam all to himself. Back in their cabin, however, Sam seemed restless, moving from one thing to another. Finn tried to give him space.

“You know, I think I’m going to go for a run,” Sam told him finally.

Finn raised an eyebrow as Sam stripped off his t-shirt. “In the rain?”

“Just a short one. It’ll make it easier for me to focus.” He backed toward the door in his undershirt. “I won’t be long.”

“You’re gonna get wet.” Finn said, but before he could try his argument for why Sam should sit down before he lost his nerve, Sam had vanished out of the door, his glasses abandoned on the side table. Finn stood by the door, watching Sam’s legs carry him around the lake trail until he was out of sight. Then he went through the bathroom into his and Sean’s room, dug his phone out of his jacket pocket, and dialed Puck’s number.

It went to voicemail once, but the second time Finn called, it clicked to life. “You have the worst timing, Hudson. I’m in the middle of something.” Puck sounded annoyed, but there was the sound of music playing softly in the background so he couldn’t be too busy, “Or, I mean, I’m about to be getting into something.”

“Dude, you could have let it go to—uh.” He laughed sheepishly. “Sorry. I’ll be quick. What’s a song you and I sing together that’s really good? I mean, really, really good. One that shows off a little.”

“How about...” Puck trailed off, and there was a noise in the background that sounded almost like a groan.

Let's talk about sex, baby Let's talk about you and me Let's talk about all the good things And the bad things that may be

“Not that,” Finn protested. “Dude, I’m not trying to get in anybody’s pants. What the hell. I’m talking good singing.”

“Why’re you singing to someone if you don’t want to get in their pants?” Puck scoffed. “Can I offer...”

Come out Virginia, don't let 'em wait You Catholic girls start much too late Aw but sooner or later it comes down to faith Oh I might as well be the one

Finn flung himself onto his bed, staring up at the ceiling. “No, no, Billy Joel is your range, not mine. Something higher.”

“So much for being quick about it. Sounds like the rumors about you aren’t exactly accurate.” He could hear a scuffling noise, and shushing and snorts of muffled laughter.

“Dude, who’s there with you?” Finn said suspiciously.

“Oh, this big, handsome, burly right guard. Yeah, we’re going at it pretty hot and heavy right now.” Puck sounded almost bored. “And, oh, yeah, there’s Mr. Ryerson coming through the door.”

“You really know how to make everything gross,” Finn said, grinning. “Okay, well, if you can’t think of anything, I’m going to have to default to Journey.”

“Do that Steve Perry single, the one from Straight Talk.” Puck hummed the chorus, and Finn sat up. “Can I hang up on you now, or do you have more stupid questions?”

“No, I think I’m good. Have fun… whatever you’re doing.”

“Looks like I might be doing some singing, actually.” Puck sounded amused. He added, to whoever was there, “You’re serious? Right now?”

Finn laughed. “I’m out of here. Whoever she is, good luck.”

He had to look up the lyrics to the song on his phone, not because he hadn’t sung it eight thousand times, but because he was sure he had been singing some of them wrong for years. Somehow it seemed important to get the lyrics right when he was singing for somebody else. Not that he was singing to Sam, or anything like that.

Actually, now that he was reading the lyrics, Finn decided he might want to have second thoughts about singing this particular song. It wasn’t because it was a love song, but it was kind of sad, and not exactly upbeat. But it was too late to call Puck back, and he wasn’t going to pick something else now.

There was the sound of footsteps on the stairs outside, and Finn sat up on the bed quickly, his phone almost bouncing on the mattress as it slipped from his hand. He had begun to swing his legs off, but the door opened with a very loud noise, and Sam stepped in, shaking out his hair.

“Paul wanted us to know that the hose for the sprinkler system is working again,” he said dryly, barely looking as he pulled at his undershirt that was soaked to his skin. “It came off and sprayed me, but he, very heroically...” he trailed off, his eyes finally falling on Finn who was resting back on his hands, his legs splayed wide. “Uh... are you... waiting for someone?”

“Me? No.” Finn straightened up, trying to figure out what to do with his hands. He rose to his feet, tripping over his shoes a little. “Who would I be… um. Can I get you, like, a towel or something?”

“I should get to the bathroom,” Sam gestured but his shoes squelched as he took a step, and Finn quickly shook his head.

“No way, you need to lose the shirt at least, man, before you get sick. You can borrow one of mine until you go next door.” He grabbed one of his big, comfy McKinley High athletics shirts from his drawer and held it out. “Just—sit there and take off your shoes. I’ll get you that towel.”

He ducked into the bathroom. The towels on the rack both smelled like feet, so he rummaged in the shelf above the sink until he found a clean one. It was a worn towel from Six Flags, the one with the picture of the roller coaster on it.

Finn brought it back into his room where Sam was sitting on the floor in a puddle, his soaking-wet undershirt in a pile next to one of his shoes. He was struggling to get the other one off. When Finn snickered, he shot him an exasperated look.

“It’s really hard to untie wet shoelaces,” he protested.

“Hey, I’m not saying anything,” Finn held up his hands with a grin.

He exchanged Sam’s wet undershirt for the dry towel, then took the shirt into the bathroom to drip dry. He couldn’t help but pause in the doorway, though, and glance back at Sam, who was contorting himself trying to get a better angle on the lace, until his foot was nearly over his head, as he got more and more frustrated.

“Here.” Finn knelt on the floor next to him, gesturing for Sam to put his foot back on the floor. “You’re just making it hard for yourself. Let me.”

Sam looked very unsure about this, but he let Finn tug at the heel of his shoe until it finally slid off his foot with a sloppy sound. It made them both snicker. When Finn presented him with the shoe, like it was a priceless gift, Sam laughed harder.

“Thanks.” Sam rolled his eyes. “For the towel, too. It’s been a pretty crappy evening so far. Maybe... I should just turn in.”

“You think it’s going to get any better if Aggie gets home and sees you’re asleep?” Finn joked lightly, “I bet he’d put your hand in warm water just on principle. Come on, why don’t we just... hang out. I’ve got this dumb book I’m supposed to read for my classes next year, I’m sure you could do some sketching or something, right?”

That made Sam brighten a little. ��Yeah, that sounds pretty good.”

It didn’t take long for the two of them to get comfortable, but the separate beds felt like way too far away to Finn’s mind. He pulled the blanket off the bed, and made himself a little half-nest on the ground, his back to the drawers. Sam spread out on the mattress, not physically, but between the sketchpad, a small pile of comic books, and the guitar resting against the headboard, there wasn’t a lot of space there.

The book was very boring, but listening to the sound of Sam’s pencil skritching away on the paper was strangely relaxing.

It wasn’t until the third time that he lifted his hand to his nose, and Sam hummed in a mildly negative way, that he turned to look. Sam finished with a line, and then looked back towards Finn and froze. Finn offered a small smile, “You doing all right?”

“Yeah, I was just...” Sam glanced at the sketchbook on his lap and then back to Finn. “Art, you know?”

“Are you drawing me?” Finn couldn’t help but ask, his chest feeling strangely warm. Sam looked mildly horrified, but after a beat he slowly nodded. “Can I see?” Finn continued, and that got a sharp negative. Finn tilted his head. “Why not?”

“Because... it’s embarrassing.” Sam shrugged, “And private. And you were supposed to sing, and you didn’t, so I’m holding my art ransom.”

“Oh, yeah?” Finn felt his smile broaden. “Does that mean you would show me if I sang something?”

Sam glanced back at the sketchbook and then back to him, “It’s honestly not that good. I mean, I really want to hear you sing, but I don’t want you to be disappointed if you’re expecting the Mona Lisa or something.”

“Dude,” Finn said softly. “There is literally no way I would be disappointed by you, Sam. Ever.”
