    He... he went to Evan for help. Goddamnit, my heart hurts.

      Jcontardo I always believed he was reaching out to the one person he thought might understand. To have that confirmed is gutting.

      Nope, talking about Miguel.... (psst Connor was bisexual)

    He actually sounds like how I imagined Connor would sound like
    Which somehow hurts me even more?
    I honestly think that he was the perfect choice for this role
    and I'm not saying that Mike Faist wasn't amazing, (because believe me, I love him and his portrayal of Connor a lot) I'm just saying that Alex is how I've always imagined Connor

      I am a big fan of Mike’s portrayal, so no one was more surprised than me when Alex’s version of Connor became my favorite.

    I woke up this morning thinking of the Broadway Jackbox streams and Alex Boniello's name a bunch. I have no idea why, except I do because I like the way it sounds. Anyway, so now I'm emotional.

    Alex should have played Connor in the movie instead of Colton, he would have fit it on film better than Mike, but still is a closer performance to Mike than Colton

      I composed mine on the way home one day... Of course, then instead of killing myself I came out as trans... Not exactly what I wrote a note for, but I enjoyed it a lot more. Turns out my life didn't suck, really... depression sucked, my medications sucked, and trying to pretend to be someone who I wasn't... that super sucked. everyone says it gets better... I was a little surprised when they turned out to be right.
