The whole “don’t call Ricky pots freaky” thing is so annoying to me (pretend I have the font 💀)

The “freaky” joke is a sex joke, it’s a joke about people getting “freaky” that evolved to if you’re doing/saying something sexual you’re “freaky” like “I’m gonna get freaky tonight”

Ricky’s song is particularly about having sex with cat woman, that’s why people called him “freaky” if you genuinely think that’s ableist I advice you to get off tumblr and do something outside in the real world. Jfc

I really think that they should bring back tenor Ricky. I really enjoy baritone Ricky, since it feels very accurate to how Ricky would perceive Space Age Bachelor Man, but the idea of him having a relatively deeper voice after upwards of a decade without speaking, doesn’t feel all too realistic. With male voice changes, you kind of have to talk a bunch to adjust over time. However, since this is purgatory and they get to be seen how they wanted to be, I think it’s interesting that Ricky would imagine himself with this deep, baritone voice with a stronger presence than the tenor counterpart.

I think both versions of sheet music should be available for licensing, and it would generally be very convenient for directors who may not have as many baritones as they’d like! Tenors tend to be more plentiful in musical theater environments from what I’ve observed. Both versions work very well and I think both should be included because they are both very true to the character and bring in different creative opportunities.

Ricky listens to Weezer, Tally Hall, Miracle Musical, and Lemon Demon. His favorite Weezer song is Why Bother, his favorite Tally Hall song is Banana Man, his favorite Miracle Musical song is either Time Machine or Isle Unto Thyself, and his favorite Lemon Demon song is either Two Trucks or Bill Waterson

im actually ok with some productions changing rickys disability to cptsd. i cant say that without getting fucking shot by the fandom tho

"they made him not disabled-"

they changed his physical disability to a mental one, that still presents physically. the dream would be to only have physically disabled actors play ricky. but i prefer this change over able bodied ppl playing physicallly disabled characters

(and yes, this is coming from an extremely physically disabled person who has ptsd as well, so...)
