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! π€π»
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! π₯Ίππ€§
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!
Thank you @stars-may-collide and everyone who got me to 10 reblogs!
Deaf West Spring Awakening Moritz Stiefel appreciation post because the poor thing deserved better. π¦π€ππ€π₯Ίπ€§π€π»
Can we just take a moment to talk about how adorable and precious this little bean is? We must protect him at ALL costs!!!
The only complaint I have about Alex & April's wedding is that Daniel couldn't make it, but it's fine. I'm sure that Daniel sent his love.
I was hoping that Daniel Durant was going to be there as one of Alex's best men, but I'm sure that he was there in spirit.

I canβt believe this. Alex and Aprilβs first dance song is Up from Sing Street. I never thought of it as such a romantic song until now. This is so freaking cute.
Where are my fellow DWSA/Sing Street fans? We gotta celebrate. I feel like my two worlds are colliding.

Daniel Durant on Switched at Birth was just as adorable as he is now!!!

Daniel Durant looks like he would fit in so well in an apocalyptic drama/video game reminiscent of The Last of Us or even an HBO series!!!
Kudos to whoever hired him for the ASL edition of the HBO series!!! π€π»πππ«Άπ»πππππ₯°
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!!! β¨οΈ Team Sign to Shine always and forever β¨οΈ
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! π€π»πππ«Άπ»ππππ₯°π
Favorite on-screen and off-screen parent-child dynamic between 2 talented and beautiful actors (Daniel Durant and Marlee Matlin)!!! My personal DWSA headcanon is that Fanny Gabor has such a close relationship with Moritz Stiefel because she was also abused by one of her parents as a child, but she didn't let that affect her in the same way that Moritz was affected gravely by the abuse his father dealt him when he found out that he "failed". I also think it's possible that she appointed herself as Moritz's distant yet loving guardian when he was just born and knew that someday the boy and her own son Melchior would become friends. That's why I think Fanny is so sweet to Moritz because she's been in his life for a little longer than Moritz implied to remember.
