Moritz Stiefel - Blog Posts
ive barely been on here lately but i just want u all to know that i love moritz stiefel
I’m willing to wait for it
for mohritz
What she says: I'm fine.
What she means: In Deaf West's Spring Awakening, when Moritz doesn't walk Ilse home, she says "You know, by the time you finally wake up, I'll be lying on some trash heap". And because in this revival Moritz is deaf and doesn't hear her say that which adds a whole other level of sadness as when he calls for her after, it wasn't him just feeling bad after her remark,rather him just wanting to be with her and him realizing that he should have taken that chance to be happy.
pokemon trainer moritz!!! please dont hurt him or his pokemon
his team: angel (froslass), scrappy (scrafty), sleepy hollow (pumpkaboo), melchi (vivillion), multum ille (mimikyuu), agatha (phanthump)
What she says: I'm fine.
What she means: Why does everyone forget that Martha was the one who called Moritz a sad soulful sleepyhead? Why does no one think about the fact that Martha understood and appreciated Moritz most while everyone else ignored him? Why don't we talk more about the fact that Martha Bessel would like a boy like Moritz? A boy who's nice and sad and sweet. All the other girls like Melchior because he's dangerous and rebellious and vibrant and angry. But Martha already has enough dangerous and angry men in her life, and she isn't looking to escape a sheltered life like all the other girls, she's looking to feel safe and protected and maybe find someone who she can sympathize with? Why does no one talk about Martha and Moritz taking care of each other, and reminding each other that they're worth so much more than their parents think, planning to build a new world just like Wendla and Melchior? Is any one else disturbed by the fact that Martha and Moritz don't get to rebel, because they won't make it that long?
br,o ur art style is so cute ?? if u have time u shld totally draw melchi n moritz aka The Bfs™
tysm!!! and i love melchritz so much u dont even know,,,

Empty Chairs At Empty Tables, Les Misérables -> Melchior Gabor, Spring Awakening
Depressing opposites attract gay ships from musicals that I shouldn't be enjoying(obsessing over) this much
-Enjolras/Grantaire (Les mis)
-Mozart/Salieri (Mozart L'Opera Rock)
-Melchior/Moritz (Spring Awakening)
(just off the top of my head I am sure there are more)
"Really?! What it feels like?... for the woman?..."
I always imagined Melchior as a hands-on sort of teacher.
Okay, Spring Awakening fans, I have a serious question for y'all.
In the beginning of "The B*tch of Living," Moritz sings about seeing an angel in a dream. So, the question is, who do y'all think the angel is?
Daniel Durant looks like he would fit in so well in an apocalyptic drama/video game reminiscent of The Last of Us or even an HBO series!!!
Kudos to whoever hired him for the ASL edition of the HBO series!!! 🤟🏻💙💜🫶🏻💗💕💋😍🥰

My answers to the Daniel Durant tag:
1. How were you introduced to Daniel?
I just barely knew about Daniel before he was announced as a contestant on Season 31 of Dancing with the Stars in 2022, but now I'm a lifelong fan!
2. Moment that made you fall in love with Daniel?
The moment that made me fall in love with Daniel was when he got a sweet and touching message from his CODA mom Marlee Matlin on Good Morning America to promote the then-upcoming season of DWTS!
3. Character you relate to most/have strongest connection with?
Ooh... that's a tough question. I think I'd say maybe Leo, mainly because he's strong, and he loves his family. Plus, how hot is he?
4. Favorite Daniel and Marlee moment?
I can't pick just one.
5. Favorite Daniel & Britt moment?
Literally, all of them! 🤟🏻💙💜🫶🏻💗💕💋😍🥰 ✨️ Team Sign to Shine always and forever ✨️
6. Daniel moment that made you want to give him a hug?
I always feel really bad for Daniel whenever he gets emotional, tears up, and/or starts crying because he's high up there on my hug list, but one that really stuck out to me and still continues to make me really emotional to this day would probably be when he told Britt a really heartbreaking story about how his birth mother left him when he was just a baby and revealed that she tragically passed away from cancer.
7. Favorite character?
All of them for different reasons.
8. Most heartbreaking scene in his whole career so far?
Check out my X for Day 13 of the 24 Days of Daniel challenge that I did leading up to his birthday.
9. Favorite quote/line?
"Who Wouldn't Want More Moms?"
10. Favorite TV performance?
All of his dances on DWTS with Britt, especially their Jazz!
11. Favorite CODA Daniel moment?
When he tells his on-screen sister that he and their parents will be fine without her and to follow her dreams. Such a true message.
12. Favorite Deaf West Spring Awakening Daniel moment?
The scene before the song Touch Me.
13. Favorite Lori and Mary moment with Daniel?
There are far too many to count. Daniel has 2 of the absolute sweetest moms in the whole world.
14. Favorite Daniel and Alex moment?
That's like choosing between my children. I don't have a favorite because they're all amazing!
15. Favorite Switched at Birth Daniel moment?
Definitely in the series finale when Marlee's character takes Matthew in off the street.
16. Genre/role you'd love to see Daniel take on?
I'd be excited to see him in any role, to be honest, because I'd still be rooting for him even if he was playing a villainous character. It's an unconditional fan love thing, you know.
17. Silliest Daniel moment?
I will never not laugh when Daniel is silly.
18. Cutest Daniel moment?
There are way too many to count or even pick. Daniel is always so cute.
19. What does Daniel mean to you?
Daniel is part of the reason that I chose to major in ASL in college, and I can't imagine my life without him in it.
20. Special (belated) birthday message to Daniel?
Happy birthday to the cutest, funniest, most kindhearted person that we're so lucky and grateful to have on this Earth with us, including but not limited to Britt Stewart.

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! 🤟🏻💙💜🫶🏻💗💕💋🥰😍
Part 4 of the Daniel Nicholas Durant cute and emotional appreciation post:
31. My heart just melts knowing that Daniel Nicholas Durant was born on December 24th, 1989. He was born a gift to both his family and the whole world.
32. Daniel hugging Marlee never fails to warm my heart!
33. Awww... sleepy Daniel is so cute!
34. Those puppy dog eyes when he signs "sorry" are so freaking adorable!
35. Daniel with children is enough to melt anyone's heart.
36. Daniel: (signs) "I love you." Us: "We love you, too!"
37. OMG! Look at little Daniel! Cuteness overload!
38. Daniel Durant + Britt Stewart = Most Beautiful and Amazing DWTS Couple Ever! 🤟🏻💙💜🫶🏻💗💕💋🥰😍 ✨️ Team Sign to Shine always and forever ✨️
39. Minnesota football cutie pie throwback alert!
40. Daniel looks cute wearing anything, even a hospital gown!
Part 3 (a long-awaited one) because I love Daniel so much!
21. My A for effort edit of what Daniel would look like as a zombie... It's not perfect, but at least I tried.
22. This pic of Daniel standing with his legs in the pool is nothing short of ✨️ SPECTACULAR ✨️ !!!
23. Daniel with Caroline Kay at a workshop for his Deaf West musical Love, Lies, and What Could Be is incredible in every sense of the word.
24. This scene of Daniel's episode in Chicago Med, affectionately titled, "Look Closely and You Might Hear the Truth," was emotional torture for many Daniel fans, myself included! I'm still quite upset that he wasn't nominated for an Emmy for it, but it's fine!
25. Look at this little Viking cutie!
26. Daniel looks amazing wearing his 🤟🏻 necklace, and he looked especially dapper with his girlfriend Britt at their debut premiere as a couple: Creed III!
27. No words! 🤟🏻
28. Even when he got severely jetlagged during the week of Mother's Day, he still sent a sweet message to all of the mothers out there, including the moms in his life who have shown him love throughout his life.
29. Daniel happily visiting in his birth state of Michigan in 2019 for D-PAN was a blessing for so many of his CHAMP fans!
30. And, of course, there's the cultural reset that is the DB podcast, which made my heart happy and warm when it came out on July 17th, and still does to this day! 🤟🏻💙💜🫶🏻💗💕💋😍🥰✨️
I will definitely make a Part 4 at some point.
Daniel's new Deaf West musical makes its grand debut today!!! 🤟🏻 Daniel is still shining, and I love that for him! ✨️ Team Sign to Shine always and forever ✨️
