Something I love about the StarKid fandom is they’re always welcoming to new members.
No one is ever like ‘ugh new people in the shows? why isn’t it [insert name here]’ they’re just like ‘yay new members this will be great I bet we’ll love them!!!’
I feel like a lot of responses to change in fandoms are hostility-until-proven-otherwise. So it’s so lovely that in the StarKid fandom, based on a theatre company which is arguably more stagnant in comparison to, say, Broadway (by which I mean the model is based off using primarily the same small pool of actors, rather than new actors for every role), is often more positive to newcomers and change than in some MT fan spaces (*cough* people who constantly negatively compare actors with original casts).
Idk it’s just nice
