Is this how I post art on here

Hi I'm gonna dump here my thoughts about connor and his parents and specifically the song "To Break In a Glove" because I've analyzed them a bit and find the murphy family very interesting

Im upset they removed To Break In a Glove from the movie. It's an important song. Not because Larry and Evan bond. But because it shows kind of Larry's perspective on connor and what he thought, all through metaphors with something Larry likes, Baseball. It seems like Larry had tried once to bond with Connor, but he never asked connor what he wanted To do. Connor wasn't interested in Baseball, this wasn't something that interested him. These lyrics make it clear what this song is about (more yapping below)

I think Larry has the mindset of trying one thing and sticking to it no matter what, thinking that that one thing is the right thing. Even when it came to his son. He wanted Connor to stick to one thing to try and get better.

On a simular note, something i think is interesting, Cynthia is the opposite. She trys everything possible to help her son. She doesn't stop at one thing. Cynthia and Larry are very opposite which interests me. Larry is very distance with his kids and is in the "one solution, you need to stick to it" mindset and almost seems like he gave up on connor. While Cynthia cares so much about her kids. More Connor then Zoe it seems sometimes. She tries everything she can think of to help connor. But the flaw with both of them is that neither of them asked connor. They didn't actually know connor and know what he needed or wanted and I think that's most important. They tried to help him but never actually took his thoughts and feelings into consideration.

I just think the Murphys have a very interesting dynamic and I think they had a very complicated relationship. Connors parents definitely weren't the best and I have more points on that but that's a topic for another time

Dear Simon Elroy..

Dear evan hansen x School Spirits perhaps?

real connor vs fake connor thoughts time.

real connor is a shard of glass, but fake connor is sea glass.

they've both got edges, both sharp, sarcastic, "am i not laughing hard enough for you?" "you can talk to me, unless you have other options" they both curse, in ways evan doesn't, "fuck you!" "everything you've told her has all been one big fucking lie!"

but real connor is so much rougher around the edges than fake connor. a mentally ill teenager who's not getting the support he needs, he's angry but not vindictive, not really cruel, just,,, rough, reactive. while fake connor, playing the other half of evan's brain in their conversations, is much smoother around those edges, has an easy physicality to him that's absent in real connor, who's more at home in his body than evan is in his, but is still like, a teenager, not done growing into himself. fake connor also doesn't hesitate over his words, he knows what he wants to say, and he says it, real connor trips up a little, trying to talk to evan in the computer lab, unused to this. to talking to people.

also the subtle difference in the way that, fake connor's frustration and anger grows, especially in the "everyone will hate you" exchange, he gets louder as evan gets louder, trying to be heard above him, escalating only to match, while real conner snaps. split-second decisions, yelling at evan in the hall before shoving him, yelling in the computer lab. even his "fuck you!" to zoe at the table. sharp, quick, a flash flare of anger, while fake connor is a slower burn. fake connor is argumentative, playing one side of the arguments evan has with himself, but he is not angry, not the way real connor is.

there's a forty minute gap in the musical, between when real connor storms out of the computer lab, and fake connor shows up in evan's bedroom, which in musical time is just enough to make it hard to notice the differences in the acting choices at a glance, but it's incredibly stark when you see the two versions back to back.

a lot of it really comes down to that easy physicality, genuinely one of my favorite bits of choreo illustrates this really well. there is a fluidity that we see in fake connor, that's absent from real connor, and is only more stark when you realize that real connor never sings or has any real integration into musical numbers beyond his spoken lines in anybody have a map, we do not see him moving fluidly through dance choreo, because real connor HAS NO dance choreo while fake connor does, AND he maintains that fluidity outside of it.

it's just, some REALLY great acting and i'm absolutely going insane about it.

Connor Murphy is a nerd at heart!! Like seriously! He's canonically a bookworm (not to say that makes you a nerd) and into Shakespeare! Very specifically "Macbeth", as mentioned in the novel he paid attention to their class lesson about it.. maybe a little too much like he said.

He had a list of all his favorite books, he made a reference to "To Kill A Mockingbird" while talking with Evan (at least in the book!)

So in conclusion, Connor is a nerd and that's it.

Heres a wip for you all
