Honestly, It's Worth The Tricking!!!

Can we just take a moment to talk about how adorable and precious this little bean is? We must protect him at ALL costs!!!

First post in my Daniel Durant Character Headcanon series: James Kennedy (Netflix's YOU; Season 2 Episode 6 "Farewell, My Bunny.")

1. James Kennedy was born 3 weeks before his mother's due date and became so colicky that not long after he was born, he had to spend a few weeks in the NICU. He was the youngest of 3 because his mother had already had 2 daughters, both of whom were older than their baby brother James. He was definitely closer to one of his sisters than the other, but there was love between all 3 of the siblings. The doctors told his mother that he was deaf when he was a baby, and his mother and both of his sisters decided to learn sign language to communicate with him. James never knew who his father was because he left before his son was born. James had a very vivid imagination since he was the baby in his family and would cry if his middle older sister tried to leave him. His oldest sister had a drug problem as an adult, and young James would often try to get a hold of her, but to no avail. He would catch the flu a lot and get sent home from school quite frequently. His middle older sister would take care of him whenever his mom or oldest sister were away or busy and comforted him whenever he was scared or sad. Whenever his sister would ask him if he ever wanted to have kids, he would sign, "I'm not ready for that yet."

2. James met Love Quinn in college, and they traveled a lot together throughout their relationship. His middle older sister would often tell his future wife to try to be careful with him, but she also knew that her little brother would never do anything to hurt anyone, not even his own future wife. Love promised her future sister-in-law that the former would take good care of the latter's little brother, which Love did a mostly good job of.

3. When James's mom told him that his oldest sister had passed away from an unfortunate drug overdose, his middle older sister reached out to him and sent him her condolences, and she discreetly told her baby brother that she was pregnant with her first child. Even though he was surprised about his big sister being pregnant while he was still reeling from such a hard loss, he was also very happy for his sister and her partner getting ready to bring a new life into the world. By the time his baby niece was born, James went straight to the hospital to visit and support his sister through the birth, and it was worth it.

4. When James and Love got married, Love's younger twin brother Forty and James's mom, sister, and niece came for their wedding. Because Love's parents were incredibly distant towards both of their children, she was only ever really close to her brother growing up, but her mother still approved James.

5. James's family was still quite happy for him getting married to Love, and they would continue to send him sweet messages on his birthdays and even his 1-year wedding anniversary.

6. When James's middle older sister heard that he was sick, she supported him going into remission for his illness.

7. James's death hit his mom and sister really hard, to say the least. They were absolutely devastated when they found out that their son and brother had died, and they cried at his cremation. His middle older sister would cry often at night and miss her baby brother and wish that he had been able to get out of his situation with his widow, Love Quinn, and find happiness with whatever he had planned to do with his life. Forty comforted James's middle older sister, and the once close sisterly relationship that James's widow and his middle older sister had begun to develop when he and Love first met had become quite distant, but it was also evident that both women still had quite a mutual love and grief for their husband and brother, even though James's sister was understandably quite weary and concerned about her sister-in-law seemingly treating her brother like a baby, which he wasn't, and also emitting concerning and dependent behavior towards him in the moments leading up to his death, and it ultimately made the moment where James's middle older sister found out that his wife had killed him a betrayal to the former. His sister went to therapy for all of the trauma caused by her sister-in-law killing her brother.

Long story short, James Kennedy deserved so much better! 🤟🏻💔🥺😭🤧🖤🕊🤍🦋🫂

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 can’t believe this. Alex and April’s 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.

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!!! 🤟🏻

Austin Mckenzie and Sandra Mae Frank being absolutely precious (featuring Daniel Durant being equally as adorable)

I was like, "Aww... honey..."

Daniel got so emotional 😭 when his Mom’s sent a message. My heart ♥️!!!

I love Johnny and Meena so much!!! I hope we see more of them in Sing 3 because they're 2 of my favorite characters!!! 🤟🏻💙💜🫶🏻💗💕💋😍🥰

NAH I WILL NOT SIT BACK AND IGNORE JOHNNY AND MEENA'S FRIENDSHIP

I LOVE THEM SM AND ITS OBVIOUS BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND MOVIE THEY GOT CLOSER

+ they were both so ready to play with the piglets (babysitters)

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!

Appreciation post for the talented sweetheart and cutie that is Mr. Daniel Nicholas Durant (born December 24th, 1989)!!! Part 1:

1. Aww... Seeing him cry or tear up makes me really sad, but also, how incredibly sweet of both of his moms to send in a video message to tell him how proud they are of him and how much they love him. "Who Wouldn't Want More Moms?" Title of his autobiography/memoir that would SO be on my reading list. It still makes me sad and a little bit angry that his birth mother left this poor thing behind when he was just a baby, but unfortunately, it's a true story for quite a lot of people, which I personally can't (and don't even want to) imagine. I'm glad he's in such a good place now, though. I love how proud he is, not just that he's deaf, but also that he was adopted as a really young (and I can imagine quite cute) little guy. I would love to, at some point, have kids of my own, but I would want to adopt them/become a foster mom, and it wouldn't matter to me what they would look like or what their background was because I would love them all equally and unconditionally. If I ever adopted a deaf child, I would totally incorporate deaf culture and sign language into the family because I just love love, no matter what kind it is.

2. He signs so beautifully and eloquently, so it reminds me of royalty. Who else would love to see him play a Disney prince?

3. How precious was little Daniel at the age that he was back when he was so carefree just having the time of his life just chilling in his mom's car and jamming to NPR Talk Radio (lol). It's so funny and cute! Kelly Clarkson Show, please have him back at some point!

4. Happy, giggly, bubbly, cute Daniel is one of my favorite versions of Daniel, along with rock star Daniel and sharp dressed Daniel.

5. He just looks so comfy and cozy in that bed/sofa thing in the picture above.

6. I love these boys' friendship so much! Adorable on and offstage brothers, and they both brought Deaf West Spring Awakening's Moritz Stiefel to life SO BEAUTIFULLY!!! I'm still very sad that production has closed, and I really wish that they could bring it back!!! 🤍🕊🖤🥺🤧🦋

7. And here's gamer Daniel! Whoo hoo! Sorry to sound like a video game cheerleader, but he looks so intensely cute playing video games, and I love that for him.

8. Daniel with Mama Bear Marlee is so effing cute!!! I love their friendship and rapport so much!!! Anytime they play mother and son or a relationship resembling that, it just makes my heart so happy and warm.

9. A cute couple that dances together stays together! I will never not be grateful for them and all the magic they brought to DWTS in Season 31, and I love Daniel & Britt so much!!!

10. Above all, Daniel is such a multi-talented actor and human being. Any character that I see him play makes me prouder and prouder of him each and every day!!! (I just want to say that Daniel is still doing great!)

Part 2 incoming...

XOXO, Sarah
