Hey, I’m Skipper! (they/she)
I’m an asexual biromantic genderfluid theater nerd who loves making new friends!

Hey everyone! I’m Skipper! Let me introduce myself for y’all!

I’m an asexual biromantic genderfluid person, a musical theater nerd, and a fanfic writer!

I’m also considered a “chaos gremlin” to my friendos, and I’m always happy to make new pals!

My favorite musicals are Ride the Cyclone, SIX, BMC, Falsettos (2016 revival my beloved 🥺) Legally Blonde, Heathers, &Juliet, Matilda the Musical, and 35MM: A Musical Exhibition as of now. I also love the MCU, the Owl House, Wednesday, and Steven Universe :)

Also, huge Swiftie right here! Just praying the Eras Tour goes global 😭😭

I use they/she pronouns and I’m always ready to go in depths about some crazy new obsession

Hope you all have a healthy, happy day!

Here is a (non-exhaustive) list of free resources for different sign languages:

Please feel free to add on if you know of others, be it more resource for one of the sign languages above, or resources for learning any of the other 300 plus sign languages.

Edit: I updated the ASL reference to Bill Vicars, but reminder that these are just things I found around, please find Deaf teachers wherever possible! And for ASL, lifeprint.com is another wonderful resource.

I do appreciate getting AO3 comments that encourage me to keep going! But I got a comment on an on-hiatus multi-chapter WIP that said absolutely nothing about it being unfinished and just listed things they liked, and it was really sweet.

something so beautiful about seeing two characters in media and being like ‘oh they could be flirting rn I wonder if they have a ship’, going on archive of our own to search and finding 1k+ fan fictions under that ship tag

Okay I’m a Hamilfan, which I don’t talk about much, but lately I’ve been relistening to the soundtrack again, including the cut songs because most of them are solid gold and I was listening to Ten Things, One Thing

If you don’t know that, it’s the cut song that explains Hamilton’s point of view throughout his and Burr’s duel. He talks about the letters he wrote his family, his plan to fire in the air to avoid the conflict, his internal thoughts about his son, his excitement at coming home.

And that’s the kicker. The last words he says in that song before we cut to his internal monologue in TWWWE was “God, I can’t wait to see her again.” Her being Eliza, who he mentions frequently in the song

And it is meant to break hearts. Because anyone who’s known their history or listened to this show fully knows he doesn’t come out of this. He gets shot and dies, never getting that peace of coming home after dealing with this. He dies in his wife’s arms, not comes back to sleep with her.

Another thing is how he believes Burr won’t want to hurt him. We know Burr’s point of view, man wants to destroy him. But Alexander reminisces about their past experiences and says “It’s not in his political interest to kill me.”

And I’m glad they kept it a cut song because it’s so heartbreaking, but if it was still in the show, I would’ve died.

It’s 2AM and I just relistened to the RTC album while rethinking all my life choices and I made an elaborate headcanon about a possibility:

What if Karnak had the ability to bring back all six kids? What would happen then?

Of course, I don’t know for sure but I can dream! So I thought, “Ricky needs to be able to speak and do all the awesomeness he does” so in this AU, Karnak’s abilities (???) gave Ricky the gift of speech and mobility.

Now first things first, the accident never happened. Well, it did, but not the way the kids remember. Instead of a rollercoaster falling off the track and six children dying, the freak accident resulted in their bizarre survival. Only the choir remembers what truly happened, along with Karnak, who unfortunately still dies in this AU.

Now as to what each person does individually, I managed to come up with something for that. Ocean firstly apologizes for the way she treated them, and they all get on good terms, Penny finds her family who turns out to be a foster home, Constance returns home and languishes in her title as the nicest, Ocean works to be a person with the best interests in mind for the world, mainly getting rid of the uranium manufacturing, as she remembers Mischa’s mother.

Noel manages to find a better job abroad in where? The land of his dreams, France, and he takes his mother with him, and Mischa manages to get the money to see his Talia. If she turned out to be a real person, I’d like to say they’d be happy in Ukraine together, with Noel surprising them every so often with visits.

Ricky and Penny start dating, no, you can’t tell me otherwise, and end up marrying, having a daughter they both know they’re naming Savannah, who every night hears the stories of the Zolarian Galaxy. Constance becomes the owner of the Blackwood Cafe, proudly feeding the citizens of Uranium City.

Ocean, now humbled after the experience, becomes an activist with her friends’ past in her mind, making the world spin in a more positive direction.

Now, before I go, I have to drag another possibility here, what if Talia really was a catfish? While Mischa would clearly be heartbroken, I doubt he’d be sad for long. Ukrainian men do only have two emotions, after all.

Dejected, Mischa would go to the only person he can talk to during this time. And who else would it be than Noel himself? During their time together, they would no doubt grow to be very close, but whether that’s in a sexual/romantic/platonic partnership, I’ll leave that to you to decide

Damn, I have never written anything so long before and I need sleep, so have this and yeah!

Whether or not Jane is reincarnated or returns to her life as Penny, I wholeheartedly believe that when she’s holding her first daughter, trying to figure out what to name her, she has an inkling of a conversation with a strange boy about names and birthdays and midnight sales?

Regardless, she smiles and looks at her little girl with beautiful emerald eyes and says “My Savannah, with the greenest eyes”
