#I play the flute (coicidence)

Sometimes you hyperfixate on a character for so long you just start to become them. Both intentionally and coincidentally

RUBBING MY HANDS TOGETHER OH BOY IM GLAD U ASKED!!!!

sos sos so. a lot of this song has to do with whats happening on stage .

in this song, all the 'main' characters (anastasia, dimitri, anastasia's grandma, vlad, lily) are watching swan lake at a theater !!! and the thing i go insane about is that there are ballet dancers on stage doing the show, AND the characters for swan lake all represent a character in anastasia!!!

SO this is the bootleg im watching right now for reference if u wanna watch the scene <3 it should start at the right place but if it doesn't the song starts at about 1:47:20 and ends at 1:51:15!!!

SOOO !!! starting from the top anastasia's bit!

anastasia is represented by princess oddette/the swam princess and in the beginning before anastasia sings, you can hear the chorus of "once upon a decemeber" !!!!! very cool

also, doesnt show it in the video, but while all the characters are singing their little verse, the dancers are dancing really slow, kinda showing time stopping for the characters as theyre lost in theyre thoughts i think thats rlly cool !!! but oddette is dancing all alone on the stage, as anastasia has been all alone ever since she lost her memory <3

NEXT IS DIMITRI'S BIT <3

in this part, i believe the character representing dimitri is prince siegfried? ive never seen swan lake lol dont @ me if im wrong on this

but !!! his character immediately after being introduced goes right to anastasia's character and holds her steady. :) he is in love with anastasia btw <333 this ALSO shows anastasia not being alone anymore and falling for dimitri as well !

when dimitri's character dances, there little flutes that play whenever he jumps :)

thennnn ANASTASIA'S GRANDMA!!!!

noww this one is a lil tricky. u wouldnt expect these dancers to represent the empress, BUT theres a reason!!! shes still mourning anastasia and her 3 other granddaughter and i dont think the 3 dancers here are a coicidence. the camera pans away from the dancers, but i think they might dance with oddette for a bit during the empress's solo? not sure though!

fun extra!! when the three dancers enter stage, 'once upon a decemeber' chourus plays too!!! just like anastasia!!!

NOW GLEB'S CHARACTER!!!! very sorry the quality is horrible LMAO

gleb's character is i believe baron von rothbart!!! gleb is SUCH an interesting character i love him so fucking much. he is in love with anastasia but must kill her to stay general and for 'the good of russia' and hes so so conflicted. when he enters stage theres BIG BOOM from some brass instrument i think?? not sure what though!

AND THEN AND THEN this is my favorite fucking part

GLEB AND DIMITRI SING TOGETER !!!!! they both wish they could keep anastasia safe and love her, but both believe fate will not allow it. in gleb's case, fate has destined for anastasia to die and gleb is the unlucky man who has to kill her. in dimitri's mind, fate has destined anastasia to be with her family and therefore he cannot be with her!!! but dimitri loves her enough to bring her all the way to paris even if its painful to know she must leave him, while gleb doesn't have the strength (YET) to disobey his orders and duty!!!

and this is all reflected in the dancing!!!! both dimitri and gleb's dancer are hold anastasia up, dancing with her, in love with her!!! this means so much to me... then then then

the BIG ending comes

anastasia and her grandma are the red, dimitri is the yellow, and gleb is the green :) they are all singing and dancing together!!! anya and her grandma are focuing on the past (anastasia in an optimistic way, grandma in a mourning way), dimitri is focusing on helping anastasia have love and family, and gleb is focusing on his duty and what he must do.!!

then the finale

anastasia is dancing in the center, the spotlight, ALONE !!!! the first time shes been alone again since dimitri came. she has to make this desicion of what to do (stay with dimitri, stay with her grandma, forget she truely is anastasia for gleb) for herself!! only she can decide the choice!!!!!

sorry im insane i love this ty for letting me scream @gayvaferin <333 hopefully this makes a lil sense LMAO

do u wanna here my thoughts about quartet in the ballet becaus eholy shit/ holy fuck that song means so much to mee
