Sending a speedy recovery for Daniel!!! 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 Take that, silly, outdated superstitions that have no power over them whatsoever!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
Tomorrow, Daniel Durant performs pregame at Super Bowl LVIII with an exciting performance of the national anthem!!!
π€π»πππ«Άπ»ππππ₯°π I can't wait!!! Who else is excited? β¨οΈ Team Sign to Shine always and forever β¨οΈ
My answers to the Daniel Durant tag:
1. How were you introduced to Daniel?
I just barely knew about Daniel before he was announced as a contestant on Season 31 of Dancing with the Stars in 2022, but now I'm a lifelong fan!
2. Moment that made you fall in love with Daniel?
The moment that made me fall in love with Daniel was when he got a sweet and touching message from his CODA mom Marlee Matlin on Good Morning America to promote the then-upcoming season of DWTS!
3. Character you relate to most/have strongest connection with?
Ooh... that's a tough question. I think I'd say maybe Leo, mainly because he's strong, and he loves his family. Plus, how hot is he?
4. Favorite Daniel and Marlee moment?
I can't pick just one.
5. Favorite Daniel & Britt moment?
Literally, all of them! π€π»πππ«Άπ»πππππ₯° β¨οΈ Team Sign to Shine always and forever β¨οΈ
6. Daniel moment that made you want to give him a hug?
I always feel really bad for Daniel whenever he gets emotional, tears up, and/or starts crying because he's high up there on my hug list, but one that really stuck out to me and still continues to make me really emotional to this day would probably be when he told Britt a really heartbreaking story about how his birth mother left him when he was just a baby and revealed that she tragically passed away from cancer.
7. Favorite character?
All of them for different reasons.
8. Most heartbreaking scene in his whole career so far?
Check out my X for Day 13 of the 24 Days of Daniel challenge that I did leading up to his birthday.
9. Favorite quote/line?
"Who Wouldn't Want More Moms?"
10. Favorite TV performance?
All of his dances on DWTS with Britt, especially their Jazz!
11. Favorite CODA Daniel moment?
When he tells his on-screen sister that he and their parents will be fine without her and to follow her dreams. Such a true message.
12. Favorite Deaf West Spring Awakening Daniel moment?
The scene before the song Touch Me.
13. Favorite Lori and Mary moment with Daniel?
There are far too many to count. Daniel has 2 of the absolute sweetest moms in the whole world.
14. Favorite Daniel and Alex moment?
That's like choosing between my children. I don't have a favorite because they're all amazing!
15. Favorite Switched at Birth Daniel moment?
Definitely in the series finale when Marlee's character takes Matthew in off the street.
16. Genre/role you'd love to see Daniel take on?
I'd be excited to see him in any role, to be honest, because I'd still be rooting for him even if he was playing a villainous character. It's an unconditional fan love thing, you know.
17. Silliest Daniel moment?
I will never not laugh when Daniel is silly.
18. Cutest Daniel moment?
There are way too many to count or even pick. Daniel is always so cute.
19. What does Daniel mean to you?
Daniel is part of the reason that I chose to major in ASL in college, and I can't imagine my life without him in it.
20. Special (belated) birthday message to Daniel?
Happy birthday to the cutest, funniest, most kindhearted person that we're so lucky and grateful to have on this Earth with us, including but not limited to Britt Stewart. Happy birthday, Daniel Durant! π€π»πππ«Άπ»πππππ₯° Keep killing it and being the amazing person you are, Daniel, and never ever forget how much we love you!!! β¨οΈ Team Sign to Shine always and forever β¨οΈ
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.
Part 5 of the adorableness of Daniel (sorry for the delay...)
51. Daniel was just this cute little puppy when he started acting professionally after moving to Los Angeles in 2012. He has come a long way since then.
52. Also, big news for those who don't know, Daniel is a soon-to-be married man!!! Can't wait for the wedding!!!
53. Congrats are also in order for Daniel after he gave an absolutely gorgeous and fabulous performance of the national anthem at last month's Super Bowl!!!
54. A service dog got to meet Daniel when he came to visit his beautiful fiancΓ©e Britt in Morristown, New Jersey for DWTS: Live!!!
55. Look at those green eyes!!!
56. And Daniel's smile always makes me smile!!!
57. I honestly feel like a proud mom every time seeing Daniel and Britt continue to kill it both individually and as a couple!!!
58. Seriously, Daniel & Britt are both living my dream life right now!
59. Seeing Daniel dance on DWTS with Britt truly inspired me in more ways than one! β¨οΈ Team Sign to Shine always and forever β¨οΈ
60. I feel like Daniel and I would be really good friends, like best friends!!! π€π»πππ«Άπ»ππππ₯°π We would support and encourage each other!!!
25 posts!

Deaf West Spring Awakening Moritz Stiefel appreciation post because the poor thing deserved better. π¦π€ππ€π₯Ίπ€§π€π»
Part 2 (of this appreciation post for the talented and adorable Daniel Durant):
11. To say that Daniel's character Aiden on Chicago Med was undeservedly lied to about the Risperidone would probably be quite a big understatement. I appreciate how Dr. Charles tried to help Aiden and his sister Sandy get by well through the schizophrenia diagnosis journey, but maybe he could've also just put a little bit more effort into actually helping them.
12. Daniel being a cutie pie will never not make my heart happy!!! π€π»πππ«Άπ»πππππ₯°
13. Aww... The way Britt kissed him on the cheek during their dinner pre-tango date was just so freaking cute! ππ₯°
14. While we're on the subject, their last live of 2022 was just so wonderful! One of my personal highlights from it was hearing Daniel use his cute speaking voice, of course!
15. Cat daddy Daniel is so cute! Meawww... I love Daniel & Britt's relationship so much!
16. I've said this before, and I'll say it again: Daniel and Alex were GOD tier Moritz!!! I miss their Moritz so much!!! π€ππ€π₯Ίππ€§π¦
17. Dude, Moritz and Ilse are just bestie goals! I would totally play pirates with them, no questions asked! Their comradery is just adorable! Taylor Swift definitely must've written "seven" off her 2020 album "folklore" for this cute friendship!
18. In case y'all didn't know, Daniel also stopped by the set of Netflix's thriller show YOU in the sixth episode of Season 2, titled "Farewell, My Bunny." He played James, the late first husband of Victoria Pedretti's Love Quinn. RIP, James. We saw only brief glimpses of you in the only episode you've appeared in, but we miss you nonetheless. Also, the sad scene where he tells Love that he's sick and he might die... OMG... π₯Ίππ€§ Plus, James was just dream husband material, and he was just way too good for Love...
19. Colleen Foy was a perfect TV sister for Daniel on his episode of Chicago Med. Love how they incorporated ASL into the episode! π€π»π«Άπ»ππ
20. I wish that he and Jenna Ortega had scenes together in their same season of Netflix's YOU. I think that James and Ellie would've become really good friends.
Part 3 is coming soon...
