'Gender is a prison and I chewed through the bars' is my gender

[@ominous-lm1cq]

I’ve also heard, “Gender is a performance and I’ve been booed of the f**king stage.” Current gender crisis of mine approves

[@merksmirs]

Most of the Elias section just sounds like Elias lost a bet to Peter and was forced to say those things against his will as a result

[@iupooiresa]

They're going to divorce over it, I'm sure.

The “thankfully I was wearing a second, smaller smug look underneath” thing is one of my favourite jokes anyway, so hearing it in Elias’ voice was just peeeerrrrfect.

[@mariereadsbooks]

Being able to see Ben's face while hearing his characters' voices is doing weird things to my brain.

[@ollieoleander]

it really is lmao

[@mariereadsbooks]

@Memelord It's also interesting that there's a visible difference. It's not just a voice. The characters all look different too. It's great.

[@lukaBlep109]

The fact that Ben is now a big tiktok audio for the “she knocked that smug look off my face” I love it

[@MusicMadSuperAwesome]

David "gender is a prison and I CHEWED THROUGH THE BARS" 7 is going to live in my head forever I love him dearly

Ben when trying to sing point shanty vs alex trying to sing pump shanty

[@rosiecairns9697]

Everyone getting him to do quotes from his other characters is genius. Elias singing LCB is something I never knew I needed

[@fionatrinite8707]

Whoever got him to do No Children deserves a gold medal

[@anthonyampersand]

Ben has the RANGE… so cool to see him shift between characters, they’re all so different that even being able to see them acted out by the same person they still feel distinct. Damn.
