#bare: the musical

SEVENTEEN AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME

Playlist of BIG SONGS about being seventeen from musicals. ANGST. LOVE. JOY. INTENSITY.

Criteria:

Singer* must be 17: Explicit in canon ("Trapped where there ain't no future / Even at seventeen), confirmed in character breakdown, or implied by grade in school (11th or 12th grade)

Cannot be a song about a seventeen year old if they are not the singer (Dancing Queen from Mamma Mia)

Must be an emotive song in some way about their human experience. A song just being sung by seventeen year olds (Breaking Free from HSM) is not enough.

MUST INSPIRE THE FULL BODY FEELS

The Flow of the Playlist:

Starts in rage, then despair, then hope, then joy, then...something else. Which is basically what it is to be seventeen.

Notable Exemptions:

Where's Spring Awakening? THOSE KIDS ARE FOURTEEN YEARS OLD CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??

The High School Musical Characters can be presumed to be seventeen but the only, in my opinion, big feels songs were performances

Next to Normal: Gabe is 18, Natalie is 16, I am devastated

"Not Your Seed" from The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals inspired this playlist, but got excluded in the end because the singer is an alien who has taken the body of a seventeen year old

I listened to this and cleaned my apartment for 2 hours straight this is BIG ENERGY BIG EMOTION MUSIC IT'S GREAT

*If a group number at least half must be presumably seventeen. This excludes group numbers in Newsies and Les Mis.

I do not like how realistic the voice synthesizers are on the pikmin song. can you change it to clunky vocaloid sounding ones? that will be worth my re blog

Here it is with Vocaloid! Miku, Kaito, and Meiko trade lead roles, while Luka, Gumi, Rin and Len do harmonizing and Chris and Cyber Songman pick up the bass.

#vocaloid #pikmin #music #a capella #i genuinely didn't expect this to blow up??? #i barely use tumblr www

Just in case it needed to be said, fuck Wilbur Soot. Support victims.

#not a Benson pic #I'm barely in the fandom anymore but I was an enjoyer of Wilbur's music #so incredibly disgusted by this whole thing #support shelby

cut him some slack he only just started listening to music

special thanks to @domnorian for their post opening my eyes to this dynamic and to @eyefocusing for thad’s outfit inspiration

#my art #dc #thad thawne #thaddeus thawne #kon el #conner kent #inertia #superboy #the ''unrequited crush'' should be used for comedy more tbh #mutual pining is cute but one-sided pining is hilarious #the complete disconnect in how one sees the other #its on the same level as like one-sided rivalries to me #like bro he barely knows u #anyway there was also a fic i read with thad getting interested in music that i cannot find atm but it was extremely good and i love the hc #my hc is that he would have the most varied musical taste youve ever seen in ur fukin life #and hes 100% sincere about all of it

I'm just sayin', Starstruck and Kirby would be adorable. But also Starstruck and Meta-Knight might be the funniest thing you could possibly do. :)

hear me out: peter pan (2003) window scene

been staunchly avoiding typing too much on most of these but i have some thoughts about this one!

you know... i had actually never even considered kirby for the shipaganza. mostly because i think of him as holding such a strong and unique position in the hearts of everyone who knows him, in a way that is devout but also seems fairly romance-free. and i'm actually very interested in the complex relationships that he has with his friends! but i wonder if not considering him was maybe a disservice, because if anyone has an abundance of the capacity for love, it's him, right?

i think that kirby could eventually occupy a similar heart-space for starstruck as bandee, though it would take longer. i strongly suspect that bandee's love of kirby would rub off on her, if nothing else.

i'm not sure either of them... really understand the premise of romance or dating, so it might not be a typical sort of thing. but i think they could giggle and laugh together and shoot each other slightly smitten looks when the other one isn't paying attention, and be very invested in each others happiness.

he adds a pass by her window to his early morning flight, on the off chance she might be up to join him. she's always thinking of him when he's off saving the world, and distinguishes his star from all the others in the sky with ease. the irresistible allure of adventure vs someone who has never seen any of the wonders of your planet before. someone who finds as much unrestrained joy and delight in the mundane as you do. eating paper cups you find on the ground.

you know i could see it.

#my art #kirby #starstruck dee #🎀💖 #you know the scene where she's hesitating in the window and the music starts and he shoots her The Most infectious smile of all time #that one!!! #does anyone remember this movie? #i think if kirby showed up in the window offering a whimsical adventure and a charming smile nobody would think twice. #when i made this comparison i could NOT stop thinking about it. peter and wendy are a little too romo coded for my tastes in general #but there's a beautiful feeling of choosing freedom and delight in that scene. and i think kirby COULD be a little cheeky!! #the part where he blows the fairy dust all over her? you know i considered it. considered drawing the whole thing. barely resisted. #is this one canon to her? yes. i think so but not romantically. and this visit might be a special circumstance. #he's a busy little guy; he doesn't take her as often as he might like. certainly not as much as SHE would like. but i think... yes. #at least once. as a treat. #you know what i think could also be cute? kirby/bandee/starstruck triad. drop a braincell haver (bandee) in there. #three circles who are absolutely insane about each other in a surprisingly similar way. i think it could work? yes? no? thoughts? #<- prompt it if you wanna see it i guess! #also... starstruck and meta knight..... we'll come back to that! we'll circle right around. boy howdy will we circle back to *that*. #*laughs nervously*
