I really like the idea of Daniel being the one to write all of The Vampire Chronicles because it means every few years Lestat calls him up like "Monsieur Molloy! I have returned from my latest harrowing and tantalizing l'aventure! You'll find your plane tickets available for downloading in your hotmail inbox. I'll have Brigitte prepare the guests' quarters for your stay. À bientôt!" And Daniel is just like uuuuugghhhhGGGHHHHHH.

People talk about how hard long distance relationships are but nobody talks about the struggle of long distance friendships. I would give my left leg right now to just be able to sit in our pjs and watch movies or to just be able to give a big fucking hug.

the thing about lestat and armand is that their relationship is literally incomprehensible. they are boy best friends they are codependent worsties they are archrivals they are platonic soulmates they are telepathic gossipers they are part time haters and full time ride or dies they are insane bisexuals but most importantly. they are toxic exes. despite the fact that they have never once dated. hope this helps

“Anderson indulges in minor explosions as Louis, but he excels in implosion. Louis is a slightly more active part, mainly because of the interactions with mortals, which makes his inward retreats that much more pronounced. All of a sudden, it seems, there’s nobody home. When Anderson checks out, he leaves a completely abandoned space behind.” - Tony Sokol, Den of Geeks

@six-musical-refs and I have a very long running debate on how do we think the ensemble of a few shows would look if it expanded. And by debate I mean I am obsessed with old school 20+ people ensembles, and she is really good at logistics and considering whats both efficient and realistic. So a while back I started sketching some costume ideas based on the Anastasia version of that debate (and then obsessed over it for a week until I had finished designs). And honestly I love how this came out

Some notes

The anastasia replica production ensemble is split between 2-3 singers (changes depending on the production) and 4 dancers plus 2 swings one for singers and one for dancers. Swings expanded to 3-4 in the European productions (which is a great call because a single person covering four tracks dancing en pointe is actually insane). And still we felt like it was not enough. Elisabeth has been playing with ideas for this for years and it took me about 10 seconds after she told me how things work to agree. The show works with the ensemble it has but it also requires some lightning fast complicated costume changes, scenes where half the stage feels slightly empty, finding legit ballerinas that can sing in classical style and a technically incomplete swan lake cast.

So between all that we have a full on concept on how an expanded ensemble could look like. The shortest version of that is adding one singer and two dancers plus vacation swings. And designs are made with that in mind.

In the show the singer and dancer dresses have different details so I went with those plus trying to find color palettes that weren't in use already but also wouldnt clash with the rest. Left to right it is singer, two dancers, dancer swing and singer swing.

Fits really well with the Paris show designs actually (feat the art of those I made last year)

You know things are bad when my mom, eternal champion of just let it go and dont cause drama supports my plan of skipping class today

Someone tell this woman that only attacking people for their mistakes without elaborating or giving alternatives is a shitty way to evaluate an already stressful test.

Yes. Have YOU considered that sometimes working on hard things is both necessary and worthwhile?

It's always sooooo funny when English people or Americans are like "Why are Irish names so hard to pronounce?? Why are these Welsh words so insane???" that's because it is a different language that you do not speak hope this helps ❤️
