I don’t have very many memories of you from before the year I coached you, except as some random kid who was in improv club but wasn’t one of the kids I knew personally – so I remember being really impressed with you when I came in to coach and realized you’d been there the whole time but had (seemingly suddenly) gotten really good. Becoming a better improvisor takes a shit ton of effort and desire and attentiveness, and you had/have all that, so you became awesome.
Plus, you’re a feminist gay boy, which is frankly way more rare than it should be (at least in my experience). I hardly know ANY gay boys who don’t commit anti-feminist acts from time to time, even if they’re small and seemingly insignificant things like trash-talking vaginas or using misogynistic slang. I’ve hardly ever heard you do anything to that effect, which I find really refreshing, especially given your age.
