Obsessed with this tbh.. it's been too long it's about time we had another SuperWhoLock lmao

this comment made me take psychic damage

You and your shipper friends are not acting normal about damangela. That's why people make fun of you!

Honestly, I don't think we're weird about damangela. I'm just pointing out cute moments like everyone else. For example, the Perfect Person podcast where Angela told that story about getting drunk at the company Christmas party and having a deep conversation with Damien telling him how grateful she is for him and how much she loves him and their company. I don't talk about how I think they are secretly in love or secretly dating or anything and have even specifically referred to them as friends (and even shut someone down who talked about how they thought Damien was flirting with Angela fr). If I ever talked about them in a more romantic shippy way I have made it exceptionally clear that I am talking about fanfic or that I am kidding and don't actually think they have feelings for each other.

Also literally yesterday I put "#I love how much she loves her friends" in the tags of a video of Angela looking at Damien where if I was "not acting normal" about them, it would've been a perfect opportunity to say something completely different, but instead kept it platonic because I just appreciate their dynamic and them as a duo. I'm not one of those people trying to push them together and say they MUST date or something. Again, I'm just pointing out cute moments between my faves just like everyone else does for their favorite duos. And even the ones who do ship them more and do see/say things in a more romantic sense, are being relatively normal. No one is trying to force it onto them or anyone else or is trying to stalk them to "prove they're secretly together" or anything. Like they just see cute moments and go "aww that's so cute they're cute together I ship it!" and that's it. You're on tumblr in one of the most ship-positive/multiship fandoms like I really don't think we're doing anything *that* different from anyone else here honestly.

Are we the same person?? I watched avpm and avps like right before 8th grade and was obsessed with the very potter musicals specifically for like a year, and then watched tgwdlm when it came out I think my sophmore year of high school? It was that that got me obsessed with starkid as a whole, and I've been a huge fan ever since!! I love how this show brought so many people to this fandom and now we get to watch it again after being in love with them already!

Although had some little bit of experience with starkid (seen some memes, heard the song Twisted, my cousin showed me avpm), The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals is what actually got me into Starkid, back in fall 2019, my freshman year of high school. I'm so unbelievably excited for the remount!

(I know this discourse is like a week old at this point but I'm making this post anyway 😤) Seeing people complain about the wigs in Cinderella's Castle was insane like y'all wouldn't have survived og Starkid fr. I mean in AVPM, Dumbledore's beard wasn't even on his face and you're complaining about seeing some of the wig lace on one of Bryce's like 5 wigs??? We used to have this

and you're complaining about this??

Please guys it's a stage show! With costume changes and wig changes! The wigs need to be easy to put on and off, and I honestly don't know what else they could've done to make it look better. They couldn't exactly cut the lace super short and glue the wigs on her head or anything because again, she has multiple wig changes throughout the show.

Anyway, I loved Cinderella's Castle and the costumes and wigs were some of the best Starkid has ever had

I saw another anon talking about not really getting all the Damangela hype so, I think what a lot of people get wrong about how Ang reacts to what Damien says is- It's all on camera. In front of HUGE groups of people on a set. There's no way in hell I'd be openly flirting with anybody in that kind of scenario! if I can be slightly delusional- I don't think she knows how to talk herself out of a lot of the scenarios he puts her in. Not in a bad way! but in a "brain is not working, handsome man just said something sweet and is paying so much attention to me" way! and her best response is to ignore or deflect

She obviously has a big soft spot for him (almost bigger than his for her), with her constantly reassuring him when he does things well, yes-and-ing his jokes, and forcefully pulling him into convos. (and practically standing on him in tntls😊)

I can kind of see where people are coming from with "she's just like that!" "she tries to make everyone feel good!" but there's too many little things she does that makes it apparent she truly cares a lot for the guy

A great example is him flirting with her as Todd. She had no idea what to do. She's admitted on the Pretty Gay podcast that she kind of struggles with flirtation and how to react to it sometimes, or how to reciprocate, whether it's a playful thing or something with intention behind it.

It's just very clear when you watch them together that they really care about each other to me. It's far more subtle than say, Shayne and Damien's dynamic, so I can see why a lot of people miss things. They speak their own little language.

For anyone who thinks she doesn't like him, watch some compilations of the two of them and pay attention to the small things.

REAL! We need more pictures of them together!

It's also so weird to me how smoshtwt threw a fit because he posted pictures with Angela in them like two times. Like girl bffr

I think a big part of Smosh community, particularly on Twitter, is straight up vile. Much of the Damien hate is rooted in not liking his "vibes", or "the way he speaks". Like I've seen people unironically tweet saying Damien should just shut up and not talk because it annoys them when he talks. I've seen these same people claim that Angela hates him, or how Damien is trying to take advantage of Angela to make himself more popular because he's become a forgotten Smosh member or some stuff like that. Genuinely horrid shit that they spout with zero shame. Absolute losers.

So much of it is rooted in ableism because of him being autistic. It's fucked up and the people who act like that need to grow the hell up. Didn't your parents ever tell you that if you don't have anything nice to say, you shouldn't say anything at all?

When you are actively a 'hater', I consider you to be more of a fan than an actual fan, since it's all you ever talk about. These people talk about Damien and Damangela more than the actual people who stan Damien and ship Damangela to begin with! Then they turn around and complain that those people are mad at them and talking to them and it's just like... no shit? You expect people to just let you run your ableist little mouth and not have someone tell you to shut the hell up? You don't get to just talk trash about people scot free, my guys. It's beyond immature, it's beyond pathetic, and one day you're going to look back at your behavior and be embarrassed as shit and I hope that day comes sooner rather than later.

The only ship that gets shit on so hard is Damangela, because as far as I can tell everyone has decided on their own that Angela is a lesbian, and she isn't. She also cares about Damien very much. Did you guys all miss her on Perfect Person saying she sought him out drunkenly just to tell him emphatically how much she loves him and appreciates him? People have made up that she hates him just because their dynamic isn't in your face and it's ridiculous, and knowing what I know about Angela, she wouldn't appreciate people deciding she hates one of her friends. It's not cool and it's childish to do.

Sorry for the length and the rant but I'm so, so tired of this behavior. It's just middle school bullying all over again.
