That’s Entertainment 025 - Jane Avril and Toulouse-Lautrec - 1899 by Johnny El-Rady Via Flickr: Via: www.cocosse.com/2015/03/la-melinite-the-can-can-dancer-ja… “William Rothstein described Jane Avril as “a wild, Botticelli-like creature, perverse, but intelligent, whose madness for dancing induced her to join this strange company”. The Englishman, Arthur Symons added that she had “the beauty of a fallen angel. She was exotic and excitable!”” Zsa Zsa Gabor portrayed Avril in the original Moulin Rouge (1952); half a century later, the semi-fictionalized character was reinterpreted by Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge!

How'd you expect your soul to send a whole patrol If you were too far gone for me to know where to find you? I've wandered out alone into your cold unknown To try to bring you home So you forgot your way? Well, I'm trying to remind you

You say "lend me your eyes to evolve From that actor I fight in the dark Where I'm two twins I can't tell apart!" But you remember which is which when the wrong man wins You will hate who you are 'til you overthrow who you've been

From a stage in your heart I can tell that you're far from yourself When you barter your lust for your health And when you claim it's all a play, And you just don't care, I only stare I'm a director watching you rehearse

I think the key to writing an evil protagonist that isn't just "villainy is a sports team" is to do the usual superficially charming/funny route or complex motives route, but every once in a while you need to throw in a moment that will have the audience going "Oh fuck, they're really doing this"

part of what makes tragedies tragic is the story being preventable from the outside but unpreventable from the inside

It's not hard to realize Just look into her false colored eyes She builds you up to just put you down What a clown

[nightmareopera]

Tired of the “she did nothing wrong” mindset. She did EVERYTHING wrong and I’m still on her side and that’s true dedication baby.

As requested, I have examined my fondness for terrible characters, and I have concluded that I like them because they're terrible and I'm not sorry.
