susanna and of course, leporello

was going to do all of these last night LOL but. migraine. anyway now i am free

susanna

favorite thing about them- i think i said this the last time i did these but i love that she's fairly complex, really; she's often portrayed as 'figaro's wife who can do no wrong' but she really does have some very interesting flaws and i like that about her

least favorite thing about them- as always with opera characters it comes down to how they're portrayed. really dislike the whole 'she can't do anything wrong' thing a lot of productions sell bc it makes her way less entertaining (and the whole opera gets more sexist somehow). also really not a fan of the 'and the countess and susanna are BESTIES' concept but i'll get to that below

favorite line- every time she insults anyone i gain life

brOTP- love it when she has a like... big sibling-little sibling dynamic with cherubino. also i love her friendship with marcellina that grows near the end of the opera. finally she and figaro are best friends just as much as they are romantic partners

OTP- figaro. obviously.

nOTP- ok time to soapbox bc i'm thinking about this, right now. i genuinely don't get people who pair up susanna and the countess. the best way to sum up how I think the susanna-countess dynamic should be is a discussion i had with a director i was interning under a year ago, in which he was telling me about the best marriage of figaro production he'd seen. and he said in the letter duet that... susanna was sorta scared. susanna does think of the count as an annoyance, most of the time, but she is also fully aware of the count's power and is rather uncomfortable with the plan. and right before the duet susanna protests this whole situation, only for the countess to immediately shut her down and get her writing. and the way this production played it highlighted that without ever having it go too far, make it clear the letter duet is this moment between two women of vastly different worlds; and god damn that is way more fascinating than HASHTAG GIRLBESTIES or what have you. i think susanna and the countess aren't friends, really. throughout the opera they grow to understand one another and form a bond, but it's a subtle thing, and i don't understand the susanna/countess appeal besides lesbianism (of which there's better examples to be found in opera anyway).

random headcanon- i like to think when they initially met susanna and figaro were rivals who eventually grew fond of one another

unpopular opinion- tbh everything so far ive said is an unpopular opinion LOL but mainly the whole weird HASHTAG GIRLBOSS thing opera companies have been doing wrt marriage of figaro has only hindered susanna's character because of how... superficial it all is

song i associate with them- i mean she's an opera character. real answer: peppermint patty by vince guaraldi for some reason

favorite picture of them: man i gotta stop doing these i never have a good favorite picture down

leporello:

favorite thing about them- honestly everything. literally the fictional character of all time, in my mind.

least favorite thing about them- increasingly don giovanni productions feel like a 'the director and dramaturg horribly misinterpret leporello's character' speedrun and obviously i'm NOT a fan of this development. (don g. has ALWAYS been a Misinterpretation Speedrun, however, so who can be surprised.)

favorite line- i always like that he calls out the don for what he did to anna like immediately. really funny how his literal first lines of recitative are that and yet people misinterpret him as a vile sycophant who would be just like the don if he had the opportunity. I'm not mad about it though. (Gripping chair armrests violently) I'm not mad

brOTP- elvira :) also i think him being friends with zerlina and masetto is objectively hilarious bc Can you imagine two 17 year olds deciding to adopt a 28-30 Year Old Man That Something Is Definitely Wrong With

OTP- you see, i'm the only person in the whole wide world who cares about fiorello from the barber of seville, and-

nOTP- really anyone else in the opera but ESPECIALLY the don, obviously. i don't even think leporello is romantically in love with the don, it's more of a weird not-platonic-not-romantic-undefinable-and-rotten trauma bond situation developed by years of abuse and lep not really having anyone else. it's weird but trust me it makes sense in my dumb little rodent brain

random headcanon- you get three for the price of one. he's autistic and jewish and he loves to knit :)

unpopular opinion- Everything, really, Mainly being that i like him and think he is more than comic relief or a sycophant or what have you. He and Elvira are the literal main characters of the show

song i associate with them- ik ive said this before but listening to moonlight on the river by mac demarco and then segueing into don juan (also by. mac demarco) is such an experience i think everyone who directs the opera needs to do this

favorite picture of them- i'll reach back to you but can i just say at the lyric opera of chicago theres an entire don giovanni themed floor (the 5th one) and theres pictures of every character there BUT leporello. maddening

I hihi I am!!! A little nervous w/ doing this bc I've never done this b4 so please bear🐻 w// me💦 May I request a match up? A vision, a romantic partner and maybe a friend and/or enemy? If that's too much feel free to just assign me a vision + partner, ehe/// Preferably male for a romantic match-up, but either gender is fine with a friend and enemy match-up^^ I tried to be as detailed as possible but I think I ended up just ranting, so im v v sorry if it's long! I sort of fluctuate when it comes to being an introvert/extroverted. W// strangers and irl, I'm very introverted and shy!! Rarely speak and if I do it's just the usual "Hi how are you? That's good. I'm good too, thank you for asking:)" yeayea I'm not too. Keen on social interaction irl. But I always do my best to be very nice!! I never wanna come off as mean bc wow what a bad first impression that would be. But with friends / ppl ik online?? Whew I am very very friendly n chatty ^^ Either very high energy or very chill, there's rarely any inbetween. Sometimes I like to jokingly tease my friends but I'd never go too far / make them uncomfortable!! And if I do I always apologize right away!! I like to say that I'm affectionate?? My strongest love language is def physical affection, if not quality time. Idk man there's just something about vibing with someone or hugging them that just aaaaa/// Although I usually display affection w// words of affection bc. Literally most of my friends are online friends so I can't actually hug them, sad times. Idk if this is needed/important info but I just remembered: I'm 5'6 around??? Need glasses bc. Whew i am blind (near sighted), I'm poc (specifically black) anndd, hm. Actually I think thats it for this section, aha. As you can see I'm, not really all that organized. Also I don't have the best attention span - while writing this I'm circling between 4 different apps - and I'm a bit of a mess. And also a little stupid. Just a smidge dumb. But I have my moments - I solved like. 2 puzzles in Inazuma by myself so I think that counts for something. I also find that I tend to talk a whole lot when I have an idea or smthn to say abt a thing I'm super interested in!! That's info-dumping. I info dump. Yes. I also really like to listen to other people talk abt things they like!!!! Its so nice :) I'm protective over people I care about!! I've never done it but 100% would bark at someone who messed with someone close to be. Arf arf yaknow. I tend to he impulsive. I'll do something, and be all "YEAH>:D" and then regret it later. And then I'll do it all over again in a fun little cycle :) I consider myself an optimist, but quickly turn into a pessimist whenever it concerns myself. Fun funfun. Should probably mention that I am. A very insecure person w/ dangerously low self esteem, which is super fun esp when you mix that with the fact that I'm rarely ever motivated to improve. Yayayay Also sort of a pushover?? Like most often than not I'll be convinced to do something, even if I'm not too keen on doing it. Also afraid of confrontation when it comes to my friends and strangers (that is, if it's concerning me!! I'll order smthn for my friend but if I need to order for myself?? uhh stutter time aha). I'm also a mega simp ahah! Srsly though if I fall for someone/get infatuated with someone I. Will be so obvious abt it even though I try very hard not to be. Would gush over that person probably. I don't really like mean people tbh. Like yes I'll be nice and civil with them but!!! I cannot stand!!! Rude people!!! Esp when they're mean for no reason like sir??? maam??? homie??? chill pls ty<3 People who aren't necessarily mean, but moreso have bastard energy and are just really "hehe>:D" but playfully are p poggers tho!!! I think I get along with kids!! I have a little sister,, around like. Nine? And we get along really well!! I also try and match a kid's energy whenever I'm tasked with looking after them. I take pride in the fact that kids like me >:].... even if they sometimes scare me-- Ok, interest time!!

I like art!! Quite a bit!! Less of a realistic artist and more of a cartoonist!! Idk there's just something fun abt drawing cartoons, hehe. I also like self ships - I have quite a bit of them, actually ! Idk its comforting drawings your fictional crushes loving you idkidk. I like writing too! Both original stories, and one-shots or personal fics that are associated with already created media!! Writing character backstories and personalities and stuff is also fun too! I've even made my own fictional world with a full fledged backstory n everything! It's very fun to think about. I'm a day dreamer!!! Yea remember when I said I write stories? I day dream abt potential stories even more. Mmm daydream world so nice so warm so fun I read aswell!! Mostly fantasy books, or stories where animals are the protagonists. Think Warrior Cats. But my favorite book series has got to be Guardians of Ga'Hoole. Fantasy owl books, anyway! X Readers are also things I enjoy reading :) Again, s I m p Also gaming!!! Is something fun I do sometimes!!! Although it's usually Genshin Impact, or Wii Sports/Resort w// my little sister. Oh, also pokemon! I rlly like Primarina, Vaporeon, Sylveon and Vulpix/Ninetails! I absolutely adore sweet foods, and baking is smthn I'm def interested in! Don't like foods w// weird textures though, like beans or mashed potatoes. Also I. Love spice so much. Mmm love it when my mouth burns so bad. Don't have a favorite animal but I've had three cats in my lifetime (btw not important but my current cat is named Sylvester and. He's my baby boy) so I am. A very big cat fan. Probably not needed but I really like sword and claymore characters. Literally all of the characters I main are either sword or claymore users. Although I did get Diona, so I miiight start forcing myself to learn how to aimmm. I see that I tend to like people/characters that are a little more extroverted than me. Upbeat, happy type beat!!! Nice sunshine babies, :) I think thats it! I hope this was good enough? Again, first time doing this (at 2am nonetheless) so forgive me if I got too rambly or did anything wrong ^^ Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this! And I hope your day is good / you had a good day, depending on when you read this, ehe!

Hey! Sorry if the wait has been long! I also love Warrior Cats (I promise myself, one day I'll finish it.)

You received... A Pyro vision! Optimistic, enthusiastic, impulsive, reckless, and a lot of energy are the general characteristics held by the Pyro vision. • I hesitated between the Pyro and Hydro vision, but your energy distinguishes you from the Hydro vision. • You said you were impulsive, always doing something you might regret later but still doing it. • You react quickly: as you said, if somebody hurt someone you love, you won't think twice before barking. Your partner would be... Xingqiu! “This feeling was unexpected.” • At first, you were just friends, and Xingqiu really loved to tease you. Actually, you both teased each other. But eventually, a feeling of love towards you grew into Xingqiu. And that was reciprocated. • Your relationship is filled with teases, jokes, and good/funny moments where you mostly share what you commonly appreciate. • He also knows when to get serious: for example, he does everything to support you during your moments of struggle concerning your self-esteem. Your friend would be... Childe! “Luckily, I'm here!” • You two also share funny moments, especially during situations where your “stupidity” is overtaken by his insight. • Sometimes, he finds you cute. • He likes the fact that you get along well with kids. It leads you to great moments with him and his siblings. • You're quite the opposite in terms of self-esteem. I think it's a good thing because it makes you complementary. Your enemy would be... Albedo! A misunderstanding. • You wouldn't hate each other, but I think Albedo wouldn't like the way you use your energy, and when you're more in a chill mood (meaning you're more available for him to talk), he could get pissed at how much times he'd have to repeat himself for you to understand something. • He's very patient, but he understood quickly that his interests would maybe not be within your reach. • You would just be too different. Worth to mention • You and Venti are like drama queens in Mondstadt. You are good friends. But you both know that you can't be more, as it would eventually both drag you down (because of similar problems). • Klee is also your best friend: both of you share decisions that you definitely will regret later. Or maybe not. • Hu tao and you are kinds of silently competing over who's the best tease, and she beats you. My goal is definitely not achieved. I hope I can catch up tomorrow. And don't worry, it was surprisingly good for a first description!
