LOKI
Weasley, I'm surprised
A poor and ginger boy like you
Playing the lead role
With all these little characters
Your time is done- no, I am the one
Attempting to do you good
There's no magical neighborhood
Where fandoms collide, that just isn't right
Oh LeakyCon, this LeakyCon
Is just a fantasy
You should all go home!

Four days of inspiration
Playing music, making mem'ries, making magic
The need for some rest! (It'll have to wait)
To wrocking out every night
Cosplay in sight
Shipping too...
To writing fiction...fanfiction
A world without restriction
To accurate depiction
It's an addiction, it's an affliction
A prediction my friends
We'll be geeky through and through
To meeting the friends you made when you were online
I'm fine, just DON'T SKIP NINE
To being here, don't fear
We're all a little weird
To fandoms old and new
To characters near and dear
That we depend upon

anthony rapp: what is up my fellow kids
Oh my god
Brandi Lucero So true XD
RENT AND STARKID AND REFERENCES AND ANTHONY RAPP AND FANDOMS AND
HYPERVENTILATING
SYSTEM OVERLOAD
I'm getting over excited too! Why has it taken my so long to see this
mY FAVORITE PART IS HOW ANTHONY IS DOING THE CHOREOGRAPHY AND EVERYONE ELSE IS JSUT DANCING
How the hell did they get actual Anthony Rapp to show up?!?!
Apparently he's friends with Maureen Johnson (the author) who plans a lot of Leaky Con
mayanpaw Maureen Johnson.... See any similarities in names?
Lol, yes I am aware
mayanpaw Also he's wanted to go to Leaky for a few years running apparently.
britskee03 this is super late... but he's also long time friends with Melissa Anelli
The fact that Tessa wrote this entire thing makes so much sense... xD
She did?!?!? Why am I so proud?
and yes
yes it does
Oh my god. Anthony Rapp and Jon Cozart on one stage. My life is complete now.
Holy crap. That was before I knew about Starkid. WHAT IS THIS MADNESS!
me
Thomas should've been there too. Just imagine the Thomas, Jon, and Anthony all singing together on one stage.
Anthony Rapp, Starkid, Curt, Mary Kate, Tessa, Paint!!! OMYGHOD How did I not see this video before??
april prajio WHERE IS PAINT?
april prajio FOUND HIM
literally my reaction
comment section mentions Jon
Me: WHERE IS THY GLORIOUS JON!?!?
**continues watching**
Me (weakly due to fangirling overload): ....found him....
Pemberly Digital too
THIS IS THE NERDIEST THING I HAVE EVER SOON OH MY GOD I LOVE IT
XD
1. It's too bad her mike cut out during Martha Jones' only verse.
2. I'm glad they kept in the line, "Living with, not dying from disease" from RENT.
3. HOLY CRAP, IS THAT ANTHONY RAPP???
yes it is
brosenthal in a Sherlock tshirt just made my day
Is someone asked me to sum up 2000s-2010s nerd culture, I'd send them this video. It's just everything - should be super cringy but it isn't because everyone is so unashamed of what they love. It makes me so happy!
Anyone actually thinking this is cringe has no joy left
HOW HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE?! THE STARKIDS, ANTHONY RAPP AND ALL THE FANDOMS OMG IM DEAD!!!
Anthony Rapp you are a True Hero
Yeah this was all kinds of epic. I'm pretty sure I could watch this 10 more times and catch new jokes and people I recognize. And can we just talk about how they made Dylan from starkid Sam Gamgee because ppl always say he looks like Sean Astin.
being a huge Rent fan, THIS MAKES ME CRY SO HARD OMF
"KLAINE PERFECTION"
THEY UNDERSTAND
WHEN IS THAT????
THAT RHYMES
rent
sherlock
harry potter
disney
hunger games
AVPM
vlogbrothers
etc
HELP ALL MY FANDOMS IN ONE THIS IS GLORIOUS
Is that the actual Mark from Rent?
Yep! That's Anthony Rapp! He really likes this kind of stuff.
I'm pretty sure
Yes it is
Yeah he's from the original cast and the movie
@@marchman3000 yes it is
I just found out about this video and I am internally screaming from the perfection of this.
Anthony Rapp
Jon Cozart
Dom
Titus
Tessa Netting
Joey Richter
Joe Moses
I feel like Thomas Sanders was abandoned
and Darren should've been there.
And lauren lopez was there too
It makes me so happy that Lauren Lopez was Buffy the Vampire Slayer c:
love the shoutout to Hank and John.
Hank's just in the background tryna keep up with the lyrics I love it
Tessa wote this
This is the most 2013-Tumblr-era thing I’ve EVER seen
Anthony Rapp, a RENT song turned into a fandom one, and Starkids all up in one big lovely 9 minutes and 6 seconds video just made my life complete
The LDB Cast, The StarKids and Hank Green all in one show. I didn't know I needed this until now.
The places where broadway and nerdfighteria intersect are the best places on the internet oh my freaking god
I literally cried, that was so beautiful. What made me cry was the parts about Esther Earl and TSWGO.
Jon Cozart looks so awkward through out this
neville longbottom where is he?
WHERE IS HE?!?!?
oh I see him
just nodding along awkwardly
This just proves that Anthony Rapp is down for anything.
"just don't skip nine" me: AHHHHHHHH
ANTHONY RAPP OMFG
sO MANY OF MY FAVORITE THINGS COMBINED I CAN NOT
this just unlocked so many memories. I used to watch this video all the time
whoever wrote these lyrics is a genius who understands us
"Captions are available, in case you couldn't hear anything else" Omg, I love you.
"A place where you can always belong, THIS IS FANDOM!"
the minute anthony took off the jacket is the moment all the theater nerds sobbed. so incredible to see in person.
The amount of perfection in this song is just overwhelming. If only everyone knew the lyrics...
This is amazing! Antony Rapp, Starkid, Rent and fandom a
This is so perfect, wish they had better vocals but I don't even care. I love it
Wherever he is, Jonathon Larson is getting a good laugh out of this
SO MANY FANDOMS IN ONE ROOM! WHAT DO I DO? THE FEELS?
How have I never heard this before and why am I crying?!
I wish to god I had gone. When I heard Rapp was going to be there, I was a mess. I knew something like this was going to happen, and I missed it. I am crying right now, because this finale was GOLD, and I hope to see Rapp next year. This rendition of La Vie Boheme is the most perfect thing I have ever seen. I went in 2012, and hopefully 2014 will happen for me! To everyone who was there: I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST TIME EVER!!!!
"I'm fine, just DON'T SKIP NINE!" I love how we can all tell which fandom that's from.
Anthony Rapp, Jon Cozart, Hank Green, The guy from Harry potter the musical, fandoms, rent, cosplay, my heart is screaming. How have i not know about this till now
When you are part of the musical theatre fandom and pretty much every freaking fandom that was in this song
Don't mind me. Just casually sobbing that I couldn't afford to see Anthony Rapp at freaking Leaky Con I just can't even...DON'T SKIP NINE! That was fantastic! And I teared up at the bit about Esther. This whole song was just brilliant.
I still have NO idea what LeakyCon is but omg I don't care I still love it ♥
its like harry potter comicon
+mermermer123 not just Harry potter
+Craziest Productions it once was, and then it just kept adding fandoms. Leakycon is run by the leaky cauldron, a harry potter info website, and was originally intended as just a hp convention. So not entirely true
how did i not know this existed
I MISS THIS SO MUCH
As soon as heard the first notes while Joe was talking-- I grabbed my friend's arm & said "no, no... no way" & I wasn't sure because it was impossible. But then Anthony started singing w/ the spotlight on just him, but still-- no way would they do the whole thing. But by the 2nd coat button... I saw the Mark scarf... & I was on the ground shouting & screaming (& I think crying), &... this is the worst grammar I have ever used, but that's the way my mind was working. THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS!!!
I saw him on the side, and I wasn't sure if it was him until he started singing, and then got so excited! I love Anthony Rapp. I only got about half of the references, but this is most definitely the best parody of Rent ever!
I am crying at the sheer perfection of this.
My favorite song parodied about things I love, song by people I idolize, dressed as my favorite characters.
And lets face it, Anthony Rap as Mark, just made everything so much better. That and Starkid, Esther, LBD, and DFTBA
Gah- this is the most messy, beautiful, geeky, insane, wonderful thing I've ever seen. So many amazing people. Man, fandom is awesome.
OMG, The girl who plays Rachel Berry is Foxface from The Hunger Games! :D
I was crying by the end of this when I watched it live. Even better, I was still crying when I stopped to talk to Andrew Slack afterwords because he was in the row in front of us. God I wish we were still there. Every part of me misses it.
I'm literally crying remembering the time at had at this wonderful conference.
This is now officially my favorite thing ever.
My heart isn't working right now from all the feels
YES!!! Rent plus all these cool fandoms.... yes please
I literally cried. I LITERALLY CRIED IT'S EVERYTHING I LOVE.
I CAME HERE FOR ANTHONY RAPP, MY MOST RECENT OBSESSION, AND STARKID IS HERE???
EVERYTHING I LOVE, ALL IN ONE VIDEO. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MY EMOTIONS.
This is the best thing I ever seen about fandoms. I feel at home. They are amazing.
I have listened to this at least 3 times a day since it happened. Except on the first day. I was too amazed to even processed that it happened.
ANTHONY RAPP + FANDOMS = I HAVE BEEN IN TEARS FOR TWO HOURS
Why did this give me chills I am not even in a lot of these fandoms.
When i first saw this, my heart pretty much exploded
there are so many awesome things on that stage that my mind is blown
Leaky is the greatest con ever! The just finished up Leakycon London on Sunday but they're working hard on next years which will be held in Orlando, Florida!
Watching this in the airport on my way back home and feeling all of the feels!
No matter how many timesI watch this I cry ugly happy tears.
IM ACTUALLY SCREAMING OMFG ANTHONY RAPP WITH A BUNCH OF STARKIDS AND OTHER ONLINE STARS IM FREAKING OUT
"In Ester's name" I'm exploding.
I may or may not be tearing up right now. This is amazing. I can't wait until I am finally able to go to Leaky.
I come back to this video every so often and it makes me so so happy!
Does have that sweater and scarf in a bullet proof glass cabinet? I adore this
This is so cool! They feature so many fandoms that you don't often included.
This is the best thing that has made me the happiest in all of the days
Everything in this song. The people, the costumes, the lyrics, THE LYRICS. Everything was perfect.
Whoever decided to do this at Leakycon is a genius.
This looks a really fun experience to these kids. Nice of Anthony to be there to be the inspiration of his role…
1:35 That note lasted longer than 50% of marriages.
I love the fact that Dylan Saunders is playing samwise when Sean Astin has played him.
HOW HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE NOW?! I WAS FANGIRLING OVER PEOPLE AND THE MUSIC AND THE LYRICS AND ASDFGHJKLICAN'TEVEN!!!!!!!!
NOW I WANNA SEE THEM ALL SING "TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART"!
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
these are ALL things I love! and omg, the lead from rent is actually here? amazing, just amazing.
WHAT IS THIS?! HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO HANDLE THIS?! IT'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING EVER CREATED!!!!!!
Each time I watch this it becomes more magical
I agree! I thought it sounded mildly interesting before but much too far away and whatever, but this video just warms my heart. It so cool to see all of the fandoms collide.
this was literally the most beautiful thing I have ever seen
This literally has everything in the world that I love, how have I not seen this before?
THIS IS SO GOOD! Well done, writers and performers! Anthony Rapp, I just love you.
The mention of Esther and TSWGO made me a little bit teary eyed. God she must have loved that.
I, honestly, have no idea how you guys are ever going to be able to top this. This was so freaking amazing to witness! I am just... I'm just crying from the amazingness, and to witness it live. My mind is blown. I cannot even right now. So many feels!
I mean star kid Is good but ANTHONY IS A TOTAL LEGAND
I'm crying so much. God I wish I was there this year. Last year was great but they have this... NEXT YEAR!!!!!!!!!
Everyone's excited about Antgony Rapp and Starkid (fair, by the way, I love them too) and I'm over here fangirling over Mary Kate Wiles
