#Rudolf - Affaire Mayerling

[fitzrove]

Meme I thought of in the shower

[glittering-under-the-glass]

European musicals explained really badly:

Woman keeps seeing her imaginary friend well into adulthood. This ruins lives.

Rich guys new wife is obessed with his previous deceased wife. This is the only thing she and the housekeeper agree on.

Child prodigy realizes that being an adult sucks.

Village boy battles vampires and bisexuality.

Two kids decide that dying is better than enduring their families’ bullshit.

Girl just wants to perform in the Opera, forced into a love triangle where both men suck.

Adolescent girl is under a lot of pressure in her new school, starts talking to a statue in the garden.

Crownprince only has dysfunctional relationships and he is very sad about it.

After years of saying I will make cute lil chibi European musical stickers I have finally done it! Forgive me for drawing more Der Tod's than any other character, I'm biased towards him. Hopefully I covered most of everyone's favourite Euro musicals.

They're spread across 2 listings because Etsy only lets you have a max of 70 options in the drop down. Volume 1 has German and Dutch musicals and volume 2 has French and Russian musicals.

All the musicals here: 3 Musketiers / 3 Musketiere, The Count of Monte Cristo / Der Graf von Monte Cristo, Der Besuch der Alten Dame, Elisabeth das Musical, Demon Onegin, The Last Trial, Ludwig2, Master and Margarita, Mozart das Musical, Mozart l'Opéra Rock, Notre Dame de Paris, Rebecca das Musical, Roméo et Juliette, Rudolf Affaire Mayerling, Schikaneder, Tanz der Vampire, Vivaldi.

I can’t link to my Etsy without risking Tumblr hiding the post from tag search results, but the link is in my pinned post, my carrd, I’m emptymasks on Etsy. Reblogs help support artists more than likes ��️

[ID: Individual pixel art chibi drawings of 70 characters from various European musicals (listed above) that are available as stickers. These drawings are also available as badges where they are placed inside circles to show what they will look like as physical button badges, some of them with plain colour backgrounds and some with 1-3 different pride flags as examples of how you can customise the backgrounds.]

[ricardian-vampire]

I might be going crazy BUT the Korean Die Schatten werden länger from 2013 rolls perfectly into the 2009 Rudolf Affaire Mayerling Weg in die Zukunft scene..tonally different but you can see this being the speech following + the red flags/etc...and don't get me started on the Hungarian Affaire Mayerling/Elisabeth Mayerling suicide scene leading into eachother (ok maybe multiple cups of tea+coffee+monster is getting to me)

Uwe Kröger is truly the it girl of European musical theater.

So while I was waiting in the hallway for my dentist appointment, I made a timeline of my favourite stories (books, musicals, movies) that happen around the 19th century

Feel free to add more. So far I've got:

Frankenstein - 90s of the 18th century

Count of Monte Cristo - 1815-1844

Les Miserables - 1815-1848

Elisabeth das musical - 1853-1898

20k leagues under the sea - 1866

Rudolf: affaire Mayerling - 1888-1889

Dracula- 90s of the 19th century

Phantom of the opera - 1897

I also just realised that Jekyll and Hyde should be in there somewhere as well.

Uwe Kröger literally had to switch musicals to ruin Rudolf's life a second time, and if that's not dedication I don't know what is!
