Good evening, on this November 5th. It seems only fitting that we have a piece of the 1812 Overture's Finale by Pitor Ilich Tschaikovsky...with cannon, of course.

Classical pieces don’t exactly have lyrics, so I thought I’d post some pieces and make a poll to help this super niche set of people maybe find the music they have been looking for one day.

This is an extra little tidbit to our usual weekly Sunday Classical Search because it is appropriate. While the Finale is the most popular and heard piece of this entire Overture. It is an entire performance, stretching an entire 15 minutes and some change, which was named: The Solemn Overture or the Year 1812 Overture. Made to commerate Russia's successful defense against French Invasion. Celebrated by the Russians but infamously lauded as Napoleon's defeat and indeed, some may argue, the beginning of his fall from grace.

In modern times, you might recognize it as a point of triumph or to get the blood truly flowing from movie trailers to car commercials, this piece is used to great effect. But, arguably the most famous use of this piece was in the 2005 film, taking inspiration in adaption from the Alan Moore graphic novel of the same name: V for Vendetta, starring Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman. As both are forced to navigate a dystopian fascist state London. And in doing so raising the banner of revolution while using the failed Catholic Terrorist, Guy Fawkes, as inspiration for such acts.

Things 'bout me!

𝄞 You may call me Reaper, Reap, or any other nickname - I don't mind whatever you call me, I just refuse to be called my real name.

on that note, if 'Reaper' or Reap sounds a bit too unnatural or weird, I also like being called Rai. Some irls know me as Ravel. Whatever sounds pretty.

𝄞 names like pookie, bestie, and anything along those lines are fine. I may call people bro or beh sometimes but only because those terms are gender neutral to me.

𝄞 I try my best to reply enthusiastically, but sometimes I'm really low-energy - so unless I'm downright disrespecting you (/lh) then I actually do mean well and that's me being a dumbass. You're always welcome around here.

𝄞 I find it really hard to empathize with people, just a fair warning. I'm trying my best to comfort you guys <3

𝄞 I am she/they/it. It may change when I'm having some kind of identity crisis (/hj)

𝄞 cupioromantic. demisexual. Questioning.

𝄞 minor. I'm already desensitized to nsfw and it wouldn't be a complete shocker to me but I'd rather not interact with that stuff.

𝄞 on that note, my timezone is UTC+08. But I'm usually on tumblr when I'm having huge insomnia problems so timezones probably won't matter.

𝄞 likes!

all the shades of color blue, rainy or stormy weather, getting appreciated (fr), persuading people, poetry, books, horror movies, philosophy, blue flowers (roses <3), turtles, writing, filipino language and culture, being a leader-figure, dogs (particularly ones that don't have breeds, like strays, aspins, or mongrels i think they're called), solar eclipses, frilly and attention-grabbing clothes, clear skies (outdoors).

𝄞 I am an oc (x canon) enthusiast. obviously as long as it's not illegal. anyway, I'd LOVE to hear about your OC lore.

𝄞 musically inclined!

𝄞 Music I like!

Mitski, Marina, Laufey, Moonstar88, Parokya ni Edgar, ABBA, Frank Sinatra, The Cranberries, The Beatles, Radiohead, Conan Gray, Adrianne Lenker, Greenday, Madilyn Mei, Juan Karlos, The Living Tombstone, Lovejoy, Hozier, Queen, Rachie, Jubyphonic, Bo Burnham, Chappell Roan, Eraserheads, penelope scott

𝄞 I am an average literature enjoyer. I only really like reading classics, excluding SOME horror or mystery novels. But I am also a fanfiction reader (send me recs).

franz kafka, fyodor dostoevsky, leo tolstoy, jane austen (austen haters dni /j), dante, charlotte bronte, sylvia plath, emily bronte, oscar wilde, osamu dazai + more!

𝄞 I am a very big horror enthusiast. (mostly movies with a lot of gore, which is pretty fucking cringe if you ask me. /hj)

𝄞 I yap. I yap so much. I have a degree in yapatology. I am a professional yapper.

Please yap to me.

𝄞 I swear like some kid who learned their first cuss word.

𝄞 neurodivergent (most) probably.

Your OCs have just been flung into whatever movie/show you've watched most recently! What happens, and how do they cope? How do they interact with the canon characters?

I just recently watched "The Neverending Story" for the zillionth time so this'll be interesting

Siv: Picks a fight with every single one of the characters, and ends up getting nuked by the sphynx gate because of her intense self-loathing

Jay: Gives the Empress a new name, the most beautiful name he knows (It's Cassandra)

Cassandra: Manages to banish the Nothing from Fantasia- she sends it straight into the shadow realm, where there's nothing for it to consume except shadows

Hailey: Antagonizes Gmork because she's dead, what is he gonna do? Kill her?

Arya: Is honestly just really happy because they actually get to interact with other fae-adjacent beings after being shut off from the Otherword for almost two thousand years

Esme: Nukes the Nothing with her light-based powers, then goes to find the nearest fantasy tavern because she is WAY too sober for this shit.

Gina: Figures everything out really fast, and since she's human and technically a minor, she counts as an Earthling Child, right? So she gives the Empress a new name and gets it over with.

Ember: Sees that they're having some kid fight The Nothing and ends up throwing hands with everyone because kids deserve better than that.

Cat: Ends up dying because she doesn't know how to live without modern technology and she ends up falling into a hole/getting eaten by wild beasts/falling off a horse/etc etc etc

Max: Decides to go pick a fight with the Empress because she's a... you know, Empress, and he isn't a big fan of monarchy.

Kyle: Probably passes out pretty quickly due to the lack of electricity in Fantasia

Eric: Transports anyone who wants to go home back to their universe, then faces up against the Nothing on his own.

Jacob: Joins his husband in facing off against the Nothing.

Khalil: "No.", then melts into the shadows and transports himself home.

Antonio: Introduces the world of Fantasia to skateboarding

Ameerah: Manipulates the Gmork into being more docile, then rides around Fantasia on a giant wolf for the singular reason that it is awesome.

Rania: Immediately starts studying all the strange fantasy creatures

Reggie: Helps Antonio introduce skateboarding to Fantasia.

Director Hawke: Tries to take over Fantasia with her dark magic and exterminate basically all the other sentient species, until someone stops her.

Meredith: Goes and bothers Morla the Ancient One to get more information on where the hell she is.

Cory: Immediately starts fangirling over the fact that he's in a real fantasy world, probably ends up scaring the crap out of Falkor because no one expects some random teen to be flying alongside them.

Kelsie: Just enjoys being in nature with all the plants and everything, since her powers are stronger when she's around them.

Onnie: Retreats to the Negative Speed Force until they can figure out how to get home.

Pippa: "OMG!!! A FAIRY!!!"

Jessi: Uses her sonic powers to blast open a hole in reality (that probably shatters everyone's eardrums) to go home because all this nature is really going to ruin her Prada heels.

Hyun-Ki: Fucks off with the Nighthob and his stupid bat and leaves Jessi to suck his dust

Marie: Is trying REALLY hard to hide any evidence that she is from space, as not to break the Prime Directive.

Qiara: Uses her powers to restore Fantasia to what it used to be, then runs off with her girlfriends to go live a cottage-core dream fantasy life.

Liah: Breaks the Prime Directive about 600 times because she keeps meeting all kinds of new friends and she tells them everything.

Soraya: Beams back up onto her ship and just spends the rest of her time there hanging out on the Tschaikovsky, which is floating above Fantasia, pretending that she is not, in fact, in a fantasy world.

Thalia: Goes and talks shit with Morla the Ancient One because she is way too tired for this crap.

Reyna: Spends the entirety of her time in Fantasia starry-eyed over all the fantastical creatures and magic and stuff

Athena: Takes over Fantasia and manages to stop The Nothing with a technicality- the Empress needs a new name, so why not replace her with an Empress with a different name? She gets overthrown in a week.

Laila: Joins Athena in ruling over Fantasia for like, a week, before they get overthrown

Samira: Her little scientist nerd ass is going crazy over all these new creatures and species all around her

Aldrich: Follows Sohelia around to make sure she doesn't get herself into danger (she does)

Sohelia: Figures out what's going on really fast, gives the Empress a new name and stops the whole crisis before it actually happens

Dolores: Tries to stay in Fantasia because it's so pretty there, is really disappointed when she has to go back to the real world

Vanessa: Finally feels like she fits in and isn't a freak anymore while surrounded by all these not-quite-human characters.

Matt: Tries and fails to learn how to ride a horse, ends up getting a luckdragon instead.

Victorie: Stays in the shadows until she understands what's going on, then she follows Atreyu around making sure that nothing eats this poor kid.

Kayla: Immediately gets to work trying to build some kind of portal home because HYDRA isn't going to take itself down.

Dori: Starts testing out their shapeshifting powers with all the strange creatures around them, just to see how far they can push themself.

Ellis: Nukes the Nothing with angelic light and the power of love and peace and justice and all those other things that angels stand for

Swan Lake is a ballet composed by Pyotor Tschaikovsky. It tells the story of Odette, a princess who turns into a swan every night because of a curse which only true love can break. The ballet usually ends on either Odette being saved by prince Siegfried and having a happy ever after, or her taking her own life by drowning after prince couldn’t save her from her curse.

Charioteer Ask - 3, 8 and 29!

3 Favourite literary reference.

Tschaikovsky’s Swan Lake 

In the 1953 edition of The Charioteer, Laurie hums the enchanter’s theme when meeting Andrew for the first time. In Swan Lake, the Enchanter is the villain who turns a young maiden named Odette into a white swan. The spell can only be broken if one who has never loved before swears to love Odette forever. In the ballet, the prince first sees and falls in love with Odette, but when he returns to his castle for a ball, the enchanter turns the black swan Odile into Odette’s form, and introduces her to the prince. The prince believes Odile is his beloved and promises his love to her in front of the entire court. When the prince realizes his mistake, he rushes back to the lake to find Odette, but since he has already promised his love to Odile, the curse cannot be broken. Rather than remain a swan forever, Odette commits suicide, and the prince follows her into death. 

In TC, as Laurie hums the enchanter’s theme, he falls under the spell of his fantasies and projects his love for Ralph onto someone else. Like the prince mistaking Odile for Odette, Laurie sees a boy who resembles Ralph and projects his feelings and fantasies about 19 year old Ralph onto this boy. The Swan Lake reference also highlights Laurie’s struggle to truly see and recognize Ralph. He mistakes Ralph for someone else three times: at Dunkirk a delirious Laurie mistakes him for a “tart”, Laurie has a sense of deja vu upon seeing the 19 year old Andrew and later realizes that it was because of his resemblance to 19 year old Ralph, Laurie is misled into believing that Ralph confronted Andrew when it was in fact Bunny who assumed Ralph’s identity. 

Furthermore, by viewing Ralph and Andrew as manifestations of the black and white horses from the charioteer metaphor in The Phaedrus, Laurie unintentionally reduces their multifaceted personalities to one-dimensional analogies, robbing them of their full humanity as the enchanter does to Odette in Swan Lake. She must spend her days as a swan, only turning back into a human at night and only by the lake, never able to leave. Like Odette, Ralph is not allowed to live his full humanity by day, only at night, and only in private queer spaces, is he allowed to be himself. 

Like the prince in Swan Lake, Laurie falls under a fantasy and fails to recognize his beloved until it is almost too late. In the ballet, a case of mistaken identity leads to the prince’s betrayal of Odette, which destroys her hopes of living a human life beyond the confines of the lake, and she’d rather die than lose her humanity. Likewise, a case of mistaken identity leads Laurie to reject Ralph and betray the trust they’ve established, which destroys Ralph’s last hopes of living a life where he can be his full human self outside the confines of the queer party scene, and if he can’t “make it out as a human being”, then he’d rather die. 

Unlike Swan Lake, however, TC avoids the depressing ending –it may be too late for Odette and the prince, but it is not too late for Ralph and Laurie. Laurie returns just in time to promise his love to his true beloved, and saves his life.

8 If you could add one school scene to the book, what would it be?

The first time Laurie and Ralph saw each other! Their first ever interaction!

Currently eating macarons at the piano with The Ruthless Pursuit of Annoying Lestat with All a Child's Demanding

Technically my Halloween costume is a piano medley of Tschaikovsky's The Doll's Funeral (played avec l'esprit de la liberté) and Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring (irreverently gespielt), as I imagine Claudia would play them after The Thing Lay Still, but I haven't had a chance to finish the transitions yet.

It certainly is interesting, and it’s quite arrogant to assume we have it all figured out. Besides, no one says you have to believe anything you read, but it sure can’t hurt to approach things with a more open mind, and to just look where evidence leads us, when it presents itself.)
