vices and virtues brendon urie was also an awakening for me. this is so aggressively late 2010s but idk im not mad about it
i think this takes place in georgia??? im also still closeted for the most part??? and i like panic!? is this fucking play about us????
on a more personal note i loved how simon was represented. i'm obviously not a gay man, but experiencing queerness is such a personal thing. i really resonated with him in so many different ways, and his mom’s speech about allowing yourself to exhale was kind of a revelation?? in a weird way? i’ve never been open about my sexuality, mostly cause i’ve never been able to put a label on it. it’s always just seemed like such a taboo subject for me to actually think about, weirdly enough. i’d assume most people in my life would be supportive, my friends have kinda gotten the gist of me not being straight, and i’ve felt safe in that grey area. naturally being “different” in the south, people have always assumed i was a lesbian. in the past i would always get so angry about that, and looking back it was more out of self hatred. i’ve always been in so much denial about the fact that i DO actually prefer women!!!
as cheesy and cliche as this movie is, it’s existence is so so important. and i don’t know why i even decided to watch this, cause going into it i didn’t expect much, but i came out (ha) of it with a new perspective of myself. as much as i love pain and anguish in movies, it’s nice to see a queer character be happy for once
