Daniel Durant's journey has been quite an amazing sight to behold, from Deaf West Spring Awakening to CODA to Dancing with the Stars and beyond. @dwsavideos, I would love to see a longer video from you on this adorable and talented sweetheart at some point!!!

Daniel Durant's episode of Chicago Med on NBC and his performance as a whole simultaneously warmed, melted, and broke my heart, but this scene especially DESTROYED my heart!

Daniel is still killing it, and he's even doing opera now!!!

Beethoven's Fidelio with Deaf West and the L.A. Philharmonic is a truly amazing spectacle!!!

Daniel Durant's dump from yesterday (October 7th) was a cultural sigh of relief for any fan who was concerned about him not posting much this year, particularly during the summer...

The view of them down by the cruise ship!!! We won!!! ✨️ Team Sign to Shine always and forever ✨️

A couple who goes on adventures together stays together!

Britt was more than happy to let Daniel see her in a white dress, which was quite possibly a wedding dress, let alone pose for a photo with him. Take that, silly, outdated superstitions that have no power over them whatsoever!

Looking good as always!

Daniel just being as adorable as ever! 🤟🏻💙💜🫶🏻💗💕💋🥰😍

Aww... Look at them!

Happy 8th Anniversary Deaf West Spring Awakening! 🥹🥹

@dwsavideos It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me. LOL, Taylor Swift reference.

Anyways, I'm still quite patiently waiting for the newer Daniel Durant video, but I'm totally fine.

Thank you @mrsm3w and everyone who got me to 25 reblogs!

I'm thinking about doing a Daniel Durant tag here on Tumblr for Daniel's 34th birthday!

Please feel free to give me some ideas for questions for the tag!!! 🤟🏻

🥺😭🤧💔🖤🕊🤍

can we talk about Spring Awakening real quick

The fact that Ilse opens “The Song of Purple Summer” is an incredibly important and meaningful detail that escaped me when I first listened to Spring Awakening.

Ilse is one of my favorite SA characters (and one of my favorite musical theatre characters in general), largely because she is 100% coded as the symbol of hope and escapism throughout the show…until we actually get a chance to meet her and let her breathe and let her talk and we realize that she traded one type of pain, one type of abuse for another. She’s subverted in this really clever way when we discover that she’s just another teenager, another human, and she’s hurting just like everyone else in the show.

Really, she’s almost as ‘broken’ as Moritz is, just in different ways.

And the fact that it’s not Wendla, not Martha, but Ilse, the symbol of hope whose humanity brutally shatters the illusion of “escape” for the rest of the young characters, the fact that she’s the one who gets to sing this gorgeous metaphor about carrying on and putting your pieces back together, that is beautiful.

Moritz Stiefel (Daniel Durant) - Deaf West Spring Awakening [An appreciation Tumblr post]

First off, one of Disney's first-ever deaf princes/heroes/protagonists, anyone? Daniel's signing is pure magic and is giving royalty vibes! Heck yeah! You go, you rock star for the deaf community! 🤟🏻

My heart always broke for Moritz when he began spiraling into contemplating and even committing suicide after his father got angry at him for doing absolutely nothing wrong and trying to tell his dad that failing is just a part of life. Poor baby...

The number "And Then There Were None" and the Deaf West rendition in particular is giving slumber party vibes, and I'm here for it.

Who else wants to see a Spring Awakening movie so that we can see the backstories of all the characters? I know I do!

As Batman once famously said, "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain," but sweet and adorable Moritz was never a villain. Another reason Moritz deserved so much better...

Those precious hands... I CAN'T! 🥺😭🤧

Aww... Poor Moritz just couldn't catch a break.

I'm sure that Moritz must've been just plain adorable as a baby/little kid!

Moritz, being a gentleman and baby girl simultaneously while sweetly putting Ilse's coat on her, is so freaking cute. My heart! I wish he would've said yes to staying at Ilse's and playing pirates!

I would love to do a DWSA Moritz Stiefel headcanon Tumblr post at some point... Let me know what headcanons y'all have so that I can include some of those in there as well!
