Here is my drawing of the Dear Evan Hansen kids as trolls from the movie Trolls! They are very different shows in terms of tone, but it was only natural for me to draw this.

In order they are Evan, Connor, Jared, Alana, and Zoe :)

#dear evan hansen #trolls #my art #evan hansen #connor murphy #jared kleinman #alana beck #zoe murphy #I am particularly happy with my alana design #I think she is so cute and I want to hold her in my hand and give her a little kiss on the top of her head #anyway the process of drawing these is really fun #I’ve said that every time but I am just really enjoying drawing these little guys #who will I draw as a troll next? it could be anyone…

So many criticisms of Dear Evan Hansen revolve around the show being messy/morally convoluted as if that was an overlooked flaw in the writing and not the whole point of the show.

Everything in Dear Evan Hansen is intentionally messy. Everything has two sides. Social media is a positive place where people can come together to make a difference AND it's a breeding ground for hate and vitriol. Evan is a deeply caring, empathetic person AND he does a horrible thing. Heidi is a dedicated, loving mother AND she works so hard that she never spends any time with her son. Connor is agressive, angry, violent, AND he is a depressed, lonely person, ostracized by his peers and longing for connection. Larry Murphy is a domineering authority figure who treats his son like a criminal AND he's a frustrated parent that wants to help Connor get better the only way he knows how. Evan's lies are harmful and manipulative AND they give a family that was tearing apart at the seams time to come together, reflect, and grieve.

All of these things can be true at the same time, and one doesn't have to overshadow or cancel out the other. In ignoring one to focus on the other, you're wilfully missing the point of the story. Real life is messy and complex, and that's exactly what the show is trying so hard to emulate. That's not bad writing, it's just being realistic.

Pasek and Paul said that in its earliest form, the show was meant to look at why people insert themselves into tragedy through a much more cynical lense, criticizing people like Evan. But somewhere in the writing process they found that it's not that simple, because people don't just do that shit for no reason, and it's naive to believe they would. Evan didn't do what he did to be popular or get a girlfriend or gaslight a grieving family. He did it because he saw a chance to help people who were hurting. In the process, he found connection that he had longed for his whole life, and allowed that to complicate things, making him a lot more reluctant to do the right thing and come clean. But the show makes it explicity clear that his initial intention was rooted in helping someone else, not himself. And as bad as it was, it did force the Murphys to come to terms with their loss instead of running away from it, to come together instead of drifting apart.

Yes, the morality of everything that happens in the show is deeply questionable, complex and muddy and that's the ENTIRE POINT. It doesn't mean the show is endorsing what Evan did. The vast majority of the fan base doesn't endorse what Evan did either. Most of us understand what that final scene in the orchard is getting at. It's not arguing that what Evan did was somehow morally correct, or handing him some magical "get out of jail free card". It's acknowledging ALL the consequences of his actions (good AND bad, the healing he brought about AND the hurt he caused) and letting us come to terms with that along with him and move forward. That scene encompasses one of the most important messages of the show: that doing something bad doesn't make you evil. One mistake doesn't have to define you for the rest of your life, and it doesn't make you less human, or any less deserving of growth and self acceptance.

I’ve been going through my collection of Dear Evan Hansen bootlegs recently and wow I forgot what this show does to me. Absolute emotional devastation.

#dear evan hansen #my art #alana beck #zoe murphy #connor murphy #jared kleinman #phoenix best #mallory bechtel #alex boniello #sky lakota lynch #I love this cast btw #phoenix best’s alana is everything to me <3 #and you know how I feel about alex’s connor… every recording I’ve seen of his computer lab scene and for forever reprise has killed me #btw I drew them in seperate boxes looking away from each other and the camera because they can’t connect socially with anyone #unfortunately I suck at side profiles lmao

it really chaps my ass when i see dear evan hansen characters get severely misunderstood

jared kleinman is not just the “kinky bathbomb kid”, he is deeply insecure and masks it with jokes and fake confidence

alana beck is not a brat, she, like evan, has high functioning anxiety and is truly trying to help

zoe murphy isn’t entitled, she is a grieving sister trying to come to terms with the death of her brother (who did not treat her very well)

connor murphy isn’t edgy/emo, he’s fucking depressed and struggling with his untreated mental health issues (and he is not innocent)

and evan hansen isn’t an “uwu pure bean”, he has anxiety. really bad anxiety. not to mention he is certainly not innocent in any way, shape, or form

i would do the parents too but 1. they’re so overlooked that they’re hardly even mentioned to begin with 2. i’m sick of typing. i would also go into more detail, but you get the point. it just rubs me the wrong way so much, like did we even watch the same musical/read the same book??

#dear evan hansen #jared kleinman #alana beck #zoe murphy #connor murphy #evan hansen #rant post #like get your shit together #anyway i love all of them #my children <3

before it's over, some halloween ideas with these guys or that was what* i had in my mind while doing these

I did some simpler, silly sketches of these concepts last year, but i didn't have time to work on them. Neither this year but here they are regardless. I'll post those as well and a tiny bonus, hope everyone had a good time

#these can be platonic or not ig #the second doesn't quite match i feel but i love it for that #i never learn not to work on things on different days my hand is such a bitch lmao #miguel deh #deh miguel #conguel #connor zoe evan alana jared #lo chistoso es que no me importa halloween porque aquí no se celebra pero amo ver todo el arte y disfraces que se hacen es super lindo #la temática aquí es. amix paciente que aguanta a su amix intenso porque le quiere mucho #amix slash amor
