Part 6 Of Daniel Durant Being Charming And Adorable Just Because I Miss Doing These!!!

Daniel Durant is just so talented and adorable, and I will continue to say it until the day I die, and even after that. He's just so gosh darn precious, and there's no doubt that he's going to be one of the cutest dads ever one day!!! 🤟🏻💖💕💗🫂✨️🫶🏻

If Daniel Nicholas Durant were a Taylor Swift Era, he would definitely be in his 1989 Era!

Aww... Little Daniel was so cute!

Cuteness overload!

Giving 1989 Era in its cutest and purest form!

He's such a personified puppy dog! My heart...

Would you say that this throwback pic of Daniel is a "Back to December" moment? Because I would!

Matthew (Switched at Birth) is definitely Red.

@dwsavideos, which Taylor Swift Era do you think would be each Deaf West Spring Awakening character's Era? Moritz, I'm feeling either Folklore or Midnights...

James Kennedy, Daniel's character from Netflix's YOU, was such an Evermore sweetheart who deserved better! 🤟🏻🤍🕊🖤🦋

Do I think that it was such a missed opportunity that Daniel & Britt didn't get to dance to Shake It Off by Taylor Swift off of 1989? Yes. But I get excited about each new DB adventure that we are graced with, so I'm not even a little mad.

I believe in D.D. and B-Shine supremacy! 🤟🏻💙💜🫶🏻💗💕💋😍🥰 Also, Leo Rossi is definitely in his Fearless Era because, of course! And then, Aiden Rogers in Chicago Med, I can see Aiden being in maybe his Speak Now Era?

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 Take that, silly, outdated superstitions that have no power over them whatsoever!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! 🤟🏻💙💜🫶🏻💗💕💋🥰😍

Deaf West Spring Awakening Moritz Stiefel appreciation post because the poor thing deserved better. 🦋🖤🕊🤍🥺🤧🤟🏻

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!!! 🤟🏻

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.

Sending a speedy recovery for Daniel!!! 🤟🏻💙💜🫶🏻💗💕💋😍🥰

Hey, girl!!! How are you???

Saw @feelssogoodinmyarms do this and now I want to because I also miss this show dearly.

(By @winter-asleepening)

1. how were you introduced to the show?

A friend introduced me to it in middle school which was around the time DWSA was on Broadway.

2. Seen a production live?

No, I wish.

3. Dream role/character you relate to most

Ever since I first listened to the musical I’ve always wanted to play Ilse. She’s just such a strong character and Blue Wind is my go to (Theatre) karaoke part.

4. Favorite male character

Moritz! I’m also a Georg enjoyer.

5. Favorite female character

Ilse, and specifically Treshelle Edmond/Kathryn Gallagher portrayal of Martha (love Lilli though)

6. Deaf West Revival or Original Broadway Cast?

Okay I the first Spring Awakening bootleg I watched was of OBC, but I feel more connected to DWSA version/cast because they were on Broadway during the time that I first discovered Spring Awakening. I love both so much but I gotta say DWSA for this one. That cast was groundbreaking and so excellent.

7. Favorite song

Don’t Do Sadness/Blue Wind and Touch Me

8. Least favorite song

The Mirror-Blue Night- probably just because I listen to it the least.

9. Favorite quote/line

The lines leading up to The Song Of Purple Summer:

“Listen to what’s in the heart of a child

A song so big in one so small

Soon you will hear where beauty lies

You’ll hear and you’ll recall

The sadness, the doubt

All the loss, the grief

Will belong to some play from the past

As the child leads the way to a dream

A belief

A time of home through the land.”

10. Favorite TV performance

DWSA at Seth Meyers

11. Favorite cast members

I’m a big Andy Mientus fan, also anyone who knows me knows that I love Kathryn Gallagher so much. And Daniel Durant. (Every DWSA cast member holds a special place in my heart, I can’t choose a favorite.) Favorite OBC member is John Gallagher Jr.

12. Favorite cast member moment

Heaven Touch. Or every Periscope.

Do you write fan fiction?

No I’m boring lol

14. Do you make fan art?

No, but I love seeing the beautiful fan art this fandom makes! I feel like I should start. I’ll try to start.

15. Do you cosplay?

No, again I know I’m boring.

16. Don't do Sadness or Blue Wind?

Blue Wind

17. Word of your body or the Reprise?

Reprise

18. Touch Me or My Junk?

Touch Me

19. Explain the song of purple summer

Fun question! It’s a metaphor for change after hard times. Purple Summer is the inevitable good thing that comes after the inevitable bad thing. No matter how harsh and cold the Winter may be, Summer always follows. Just like how no matter how harsh and cold life may be, something good will follow. The play itself is about harsh times and horrible things happening to these children- and then the play just ends… only it doesn’t. The Song of Purple Summer is Spring Awakening’s finale because it tells the audience: “Hey, what you just watched was gut wrenching, but the story isn’t over. Change is coming, Summer is coming. You won’t be here to see it, but it’s happening.”

Thanks again @winter-asleepening for making this! Much love to all my Spring Awakening fam 🤟🏻💜

Moritz's line "I'll be an angel" absolutely broke my heart...

OBC: Jonathan Groff has had an amazing post Spring Awakening career, as well as everyone else in the cast. DWSA: Daniel Durant is absolutely adorable and one of the most talented actors in the Deaf West production of Spring Awakening, who also has been doing so well these days!

12. Favorite cast member moment?

Any moment with Alex and Daniel! They're both so cute!

I'm only a part-time fan fiction writer.

Both, but Don't Do Sadness sticks out just a bit more for me.

17. Word of your body or the Reprise?

The Reprise.

18. Touch Me or My Junk?

Touch Me. I love a good male/female cast and ensemble number.
