He's Probably The Cause Of All The Singing.

[rionaleonhart]

Dear Derren Brown: you cannot post images like that to your blog and expect me not to do this. You cannot. I am simply not strong enough.




(If you feel like posting manips involving Derren Brown, High School Musical or both in the comments, please do!)

Strangely, the prospect of Derren Brown/Ryan Evans does not immediately thrill me. That is not to say that I wouldn't be delighted were someone to write it, but I would have expected to be more excited by the concept. Hmm.

OH, WAIT: young Christian Derren, with Ryan trying to encourage him to accept his sexuality? Yes. Clearly I was just looking at the pairing from the wrong angle.

Also, I want Derren to mess with Troy's mind in some way and Troy to look hugely bewildered.

I don't think Chad would like Derren at all. Sharpay, on the other hand, would be enormously and terrifyingly attracted to him. Derren would be slightly alarmed by this.

I am dead. Dead of laughter.

[rionaleonhart]

IT WAS JUST IMPOSSIBLE TO RESIST.

Is it bad that it took me a second of looking at the image to see what was Photoshopped? *facepalm*

[rionaleonhart]

I don't know about 'bad', but I find it very, very amusing. See, Derren, you fit into High School Musical perfectly.

he is so tiny-looking! it is a bit bizarre. in the best way ever, obviously.

[rionaleonhart]

I am a little saddened by my inability to keep him from looking weird and tiny, but the mere concept of Derren in High School Musical makes me so happy that it doesn't really matter.

Young Christian Derren Does Not Dance?

[thrennion.livejournal.com]

Holy THIS, Batman!

[rionaleonhart]

Exactly. (But Ryan knows he can!)

[th-esaurus.livejournal.com]

This was, I must say, one of the best first-posts-on-my-flist I have ever woken up to.

[rionaleonhart]

I am glad it could improve your morning! (I wish I could have seen my own face when I realised what I could do with that picture. It was a rare and beautiful opportunity.)

[make-a-move.livejournal.com]

He fits in so well, I totally didn't notice what you'd done for a good five minutes.

[rionaleonhart]

He does fit in alarmingly well. Next time I watch a High School Musical film, I'm going to keep expecting Derren Brown to appear and being disappointed when he fails to show up.

I do love that it takes you one line of an LJ entry to change your mind.

Also, my personal theory is that everyone at the school in High School Musical has a brain aneurism, a la the lady in the musical episode of Scrubs, and upon graduation they all SUDDENLY DIE. (I may be slightly sadistic.)

[vzg.livejournal.com]

Also, for a moment I thought you meant he had posted that exact image to his blog, and I was all, "...he's a High School Musical fan? Quite honestly, that was unexpected."

[rionaleonhart]

That one line of an LJ entry contained an important revelation! I am not fickle, I swear!

...yes, all right, I'm a bit fickle.

YOU ARE A BAD PERSON. STEP AWAY FROM MY COLOURFUL DISNEY FILMS.

I am so sad now that Derren Brown doesn't actually post himself-in-High School Musical manips in his blog.

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

Sharpay would drag Derren into a scheme to stop Troy and Gabriella from being the leads in the musical, and, er, hijinks ensue.

[rionaleonhart]

She would! Or she'd try to, at least; I don't know whether Derren would actually help her. What motivation would he have to keep Troy and Gabriella from becoming the leads? (Unless he desperately wants the lead role. Hmmm.)

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

Aw, he fits!

I love how your mind works. And I think this fic should exist. Everyone should get a Ryan to help them through adolescent sexual identity confusion, except possibly some of the people who really just go for womem. And even then, many of them would enjoy a Generally Supportive Ryan.

I don't think Chad would like Derren at all. Sharpay, on the other hand, would be enormously and terrifyingly attracted to him. Derren would be slightly alarmed by this.

Derren could try to date Sharpay, despite the terror, as an "I'm not gay, really! Look at me with this attractive woman! Obviously not gay and more into here brother! Not a bit of it!" thing?

[rionaleonhart]

I would love to see young Derren dating Sharpay. The poor, poor man. And, yes, everyone needs a Ryan Evans to support them.

RIONA, I have a HSM3 mug which came with a discount Easter Egg. Would you like it?

[rionaleonhart]

Hee! It's very kind of you to offer, but I'm not sure I can trust the postal services to deliver it to me unbroken. Thank you, though. (Obviously you need to get into High School Musical so you can fully appreciate your mug-ownership.)

[rionaleonhart]

Had Derren Brown actually posted that in his blog, I would probably have fainted in confusion and delight. (You know what I would really like to see on the Derren Brown blog? This. I think you should e-mail it to Phillis.)

(Check your e-mail.)

(Edited because I forgot to close a bracket, argh. I CAN'T JUST LEAVE A BRACKET UNCLOSED.)

[calamitysxchild.livejournal.com]

It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out what was wrong with that picture.

[rionaleonhart]

'Wrong'? What an appalling typo. There shouldn't be a 'w' at the beginning, the 'on' should be an 'i', and you forgot the 'ht' after the 'g'.

[invisiblecake.livejournal.com]

this is amazing and needs to be written.

[rionaleonhart]

I would be delighted were anyone to write it. Not sure about writing it myself, though.

[cryforthemoon.livejournal.com]

I didn't see that for a moment. Oh, Derren. XD

[rionaleonhart]

I find the number of people who didn't immediately notice him absolutely hilarious.

[bubbles-san.livejournal.com]

I love the number of people who didn't even notice him in the picture to start with.

Also! Regarding an above conversation, what's the name of that Scrubs singing-dancing episode?

Also, I'm blaming you for a recent bout of idiocy. I just thought that you should know.

(Hi! I've been busy lately... no time for commenting on time...)

[rionaleonhart]

The musical Scrubs episode is called, creatively, 'My Musical'; it is the sixth episode of the sixth season.

Regarding your 'bout of idiocy': awww. I am sure she will be happy to hear that she inspired someone! Let us know if anything comes of it.
