#does It Count When You Were Acting In It XD

There was a...*looks at history book* vaguely German kingdom with Germanic Gods who are driven out by...*throws dice* a new religion that worships the son of the Sun God, Jeshua Crest The people were reigned by a Good King who had a most trusted advicer Y'veel (prounouned E-vHil) Schemerous Traytor. Somehow *cue dramatic gasps* the people were gradually more and more oppressed Until lo and behold, a promised hero came from the future. She was a splendid career woman with HEMA as a hobby and a PhD in pharmacology which helped her reform the medical practices in the land (which were totally backwards by the way) and defeat the armies sent by Y'veel Schemerous Traytor.

“Generically medieval”, by which we mean our peerage is French, our castles are German, our weapons are Italian, and everybody speaks English.

Thanks! I'll look there

Hi um this is a server where we appreciate European Musicals, right?

So I wanted to ask, can anybody please tell me where I can find the video recording of the 2nd act of Dracula 2021 (with Thomas Borchert and Patrick Stanke as Dracula and Van Helsing)? YouTube only shows the 1st act...

i assume you mean the proshot? if you're looking for proshot musicals there is r/ProshotTheatre , there's also VK and BiliBili which have a lot of musical theatre videos on them espeically European musicals. if you're not familiar there is also the musical theatre trading community so you could find someone on Encora or r/MusicalBootlegs who has the video you're looking for and ask if they'll gift it to you (assuming you have nothing to trade).

I'm 80% certain the entire recording is on VK.

EDIT: Yeah it's on VK. Act 1. Act 2.

Reblog if you are into MOR

Inspector Javert would like to have a word with you ^^

(I know the gif show JVJ, but I couldn't find a better one)

If a felon is president, every felon needs to be able to vote immediately from this moment forward

This is so true...

Also Maté!Herbert strikes me as being the most sincere one; like with the modern ones I get the impression that they're being "fake" nice to Alfred to lull him into a sence of security/mock him, but Matè!Herbert is just so 😃😃😃

Very sincerily trying to be on his best behaviour...and all his little sweet smiles! And, of course, the sudden switch to the Vampire Hunger is a bit of a contrast, but then again, Matè!Herbert is VERY sincere and his face shows what he feels...and well...for vampires, hunger/thirst can be pretty strong...

We don't talk much about what kind of love-filled Herbert is played by mate karamas

Ahhh I'm watching the tape of the speech and just CMON HRRBERT JUST KISSSSS HIS LIPS WHILE YOU'RE DANCING PLEASEE

Herbert is just glowing with love for Alfred, isn't it noticeable?

On the parentage of Esmeralda

SO, we know that in the Notre Dame De Paris, Esmeralda isn't the kidnapped daughter of Paquette (La Chantfleurie), since Paquette isn't in the musical and also Esmeralda doesn't have her amulet with the baby shoe on her. Which begs the question; who are her parents supposed to be?

Esmeralda does not look like Clopin's gang, even if Phoebus calles her "mon ange noir" I still see Esmeralda as a white-ish girl (thank you casting committee). With that in mind I suggest that she is in fact NOT a gypsy, but got accepted into the gypsy tribe because they knew her mother. Well then, who was she?

Allow me to present my theory on that. For those who watched the musical Don Juan, they will remember the girl called "Belle Andalouse", the dancer at the tavern, with whom Don Juan spent the night and then left behind, even though she wanted him to stay.

(Proof ^^)

Now then, what does Esmeralda tell Phoebus about her parentage? Only that her mother (!) was a Spaniard (!!) who told her about Andalousia (!!!).

(Proof ^^)

So, here's my theory: after Don Juan seduced La Belle Andalouse, she became pregnant, and lost her job at the tavern, maybe because she had to stop dancing, maybe because they didn't have paid maternity leave, or maybe because they had the same policy as Monsieur Madeleine in his factory. Who knows.

So the Andalusian Fantine loses her job, and, in my theory, meets the gypsies. How, I do not now. Maybe she was seeking shelter and they took her in. Maybe she was kind to them earlier, and they remembered. Anyhow, Clopin decides to take her in, and they bond. Soon after, Baby Esmeralda is born, and Andalousian Fantine goes back to dancing. Gypsies are a tolerant folk, and they happily accept a good dancer. So, Belle Andalouse travels with them, as does Baby Esmeralda.

Somewhere among the road Belle Andalouse, sadly, dies, and so we are left with Esmeralda entrusted to the care of Belle Andalouse's good friend Clopin, as seen in "Esmeralda, tu Sais"

(Proof ^^)

Here again, Clopin confirms that the girl who bore Esmeralda was Andalousian.

Bonus: I think this theory also explains why Esmeralda was irresistible to every man in a 5-mile radius; her father was none other than the most charming Don Juan!! ;)

This is Empty Chairs at Empty Tables if Jean Valjean decided he didn't like the recovered Marius and left for England anyways

#I was named after a fictional character

#my mother's favourite heroine

#but I think naming my kid Rudolf or Luke/Lukas is not going to raise too many question 😂

#Or Pierre

Alright today's question. could you get away with naming your kid after your favourite blorbo yes or no

And what I mean is would it work both as a name for an actual child and is it a common actual name or is it something more obscure. And is it from a media where people won't recognize where you got the name depending on whether or not that's a good or bad thing

the existence of "maybe", "perhaps", "perchance", and "mayhaps" suggests there should also be "maychance" and "perbe"
