Min Cai and Xavier Morgan

They’d arrived holding hands and dressed in matching cream-and-teal outfits. Even their gold-rimmed sunglasses and teal sneakers were identical. --The Sunshine Court by Nora Sakavic

[millportisntreal]

Hi @notacluedo !! I was your aftg secret snowflake this year! I hope you enjoy Jean and Neil being roommates, Jeremy being sunshine personified, and Jean getting a service dog who changes his life in the process <3

[itseyaaaa]

what if the first time Jean is comfortable enough to get drunk with the Trojans(jeremy's friend group), he starts talking annoyed goofly about how Kevin was so obsessed with them when they were in the Nest with a thick french accent and then Jeremy giggling in front of this scene calls him "cute" and the others agree with him and he stops talking and starts to blush ferociously and turn his face away cursing them in french?

The Great Floozy Height Theory

So if there's one thing about me, it's that I love tiny nothing character trivia. Like hell yeah I wanna know their height, or star sign, or hometown. Something about it is just like catnip to me. If there's another thing about me, it's that I like puzzles.

So when Nora leaves this super neat set of details about the heights of the floozy line like she did in ch. 13, it's not really my fault that I get weird and scientific about figuring it out.

SO. brace yourselves. 

We’re gonna break this down into Known and Assumed info.

KNOWN

Jean is 6’1-6’2

Jeremy is four inches shorter, so 5’9-5’10

Cody is noticeably short 

Cat is taller than Laila (from that one line in tkm ch.16 where Laila says that Cat is too big for her to carry off the court) 

All of them, minus Jean, are under 6’0

ASSUMED 

We’re gonna use the high end of Jean and Jeremy’s heights for this, cause it gives us more range to work with (5’10 & 6’2) 

We’re gonna assume Cody is the shortest

With this in mind, gonna go person by person and break this down. 

PAT 

Pat’s probably the easiest guess on here. Based on this: 

We know he’s taller than Jeremy, and under 6’0, which puts him at 5’11ish?

CAT

Cat’s gonna be a straight up guess. There’s nothing that indicates how tall she is, unless we count Jean not commenting on her height as indication that she’s decently tall, for a woman. Hear me out, I think Jean “crusade against short people” Moreau might have said something if she was like. 5’1 or something. Based on this (flimsy) evidence and sheer vibes, we’re gonna say 5’8.

LAILA

Another straight up guess! If she’s shorter than Cat but also not noticeably tiny, maybe 5’5? Average height for a woman?? Idk my emotional support lesbians are a mystery to me. 

MIN

Finally, someone we have a clue about! 

Based on the incredibly scientific measurement of “half a head” (apparently the human head is nine inches tall?? wild) we’re going to take half of that off of Cat and say 5’4 or 5’5 for Min?

XAVIER 

The last of the Floozies we have evidence for.

If we're pretending Laila is 5’5, that also makes him 5’4/5’5? We’ll say 5’5 for argument’s sake. 

ANANYA 

No clues other than no Short Person Hate from Jean! Going with the vibes and saying shes also going to be kinda average for a woman. Maybe 5'5-5’7? 

CODY

The only thing we know about Cody is that like Neil, they’re another victim of Short Mom Syndrome. Jean describes them as short, and they call themself that, but are we talking twinyards short, or normal people short? Aaron being able to be a pretty solid backliner while being 5’0 tells us that its possible in exy to be that small and still play for a college team. But also, most would consider 5’4 short so???? Genuinely so curious what the answer is for Cody, I’m gonna laugh my ass off if they’re 5’0. We’ll go with…5’2? For now. 

SO. That comes out looking like this

Which. Actually so funny. There's about a foot between Jean and Cody. Absolute gold. If we get any other actual information in TSC 2&3, I think I'll come back and update this for funsies!!

do we know min's gender yet..... ive been scouring for a pronoun used for them but I can't find shit

[bisexualchaosdemon]

Okay, okay, hear me out: TSC2, Jean gets more settled in and comfortable with the floozy line. What happened to him was fucked but he slow starts to heal with their support.

Later in the year someone, probably a Raven, calls Jean a whore and he just smiles and says, "I prefer floozy, actually."

Cai Min as The Mirror Bride in China

[operafantomet]

Do you have any favourite costume mashups that were worn on stage?

If you mean specific goofs that were done to the costumes, then yes. A forever favourite is probably for a West End muckup matinée, where a male dancer donned the Hannibal slavegirl costume and a random gold mask. These things are rarely documented, so I'm extra glad actual footage exist:

And maybe not as much mash-up as humorous, but fake tattoos for the final performances will always be fun. Kevin Gray's Miss Saigon deformity tattoo in the US Tour and Tomas Ambt Kofod's Christine-heart-sailor-tattoo in Copenhagen are two favourites:

If you mean different styles of costumes or different costume parts being mixed up... I found the combo of a very vintage UK Elissa skirt with a newer US bodice an interesting one. It was worn in the Restaged Tour, I wanna say Lyndsay O'Neill? Similar combos was worn by the other understudies too, including Katie McCreary, Carmen Vass and Sarah Mossman.

And I am very much in love with Cai Min's combo of the Paris bodice and West End skirt in the Chinese production. The bodice never got a good match in the previous World Tour, with either too dark or too pale skirt. This is a nice match, and a well balanced costume:

Oh yeah, and the very vintage Dutch bodice with newer German skirts, as seen on Giulia Nadruz and the other Christines in the Sao Paulo revival... That's a combo I love:

And even if you didn't ask about my least favourites... HARD NO on this combo of a flat mint bodice and structured pink skirt, as seen on Kayleigh Marven in the Restaged Aussie Tour:

Also hard no on the oh-we-forgot-to-decorate-the-apron UK skirt with a US bodice, as worn by Kaley Ann Voorhees and Claire Lyon in the previous World Tour. Glad they decorated it in China... Here's the before look, as worn by Kaley Ann Voorhees:

...and after, as worn by Yang Chengxiyi. It feels like a more balanced costume, as there is a sense of continuation from bodice to skirt. Definite yes on this one!

Also hard yes to Emmi Christensson's Stockholm revival rooftop look, which was a true mask-up of a West End dress with World Tour decorations, World Tour cloak and World Tour underpinnings. The total is quite awesome.
