Don Ottavio* Modern Prod Jobs Tierlist

* and Ottavio-like characters in adaptations

As far as I remember (although my memory has heavy biases), Ottavio seems to be the Don G character with the most random jobs assigned to him when in a modern day setting. It makes sense; in the original he’s nobility, and they don’t really work at all, so in a modern prod, they’ll assign him something to give him more character traits than “guy who likes his gf, like, THIS MUCH”.

Some of these are really bad though.

F:

Parking inspector (#UncleJohn, Toronto, 2014) For some reason, this adaptation changed Anna and Ottavio to be significantly poorer than Zerlina and Masetto. Why? I have no idea. Anna and the Commendatore get an okay lot, being Zerlina and Masetto’s wedding planners, but Ottavio is a particularly low-ranking cop. This is pretty irreconcilable with the text and the actual character, although it does make him look extremely pathetic.

D:

Soldier (Don Giovanni, Chicago Lyric Opera, various) I just find it really hard to believe that a soldier is so squeamish about killing.

C:

Unspecified white collar profession (various) Sometimes you just gotta put him in a nonspecific grey suit. Practical, but boring. Words that could describe the man himself?

B:

Architect (Don Giovanni, La Monnaie, 2020) I'm not really sure what them specifying his profession is supposed to do for the production, considering in practice he ends up being just Anna's boytoy and hot tenor eye candy, but this is a solid choice and I could see it happening.

Whatever tf Poodle Ottavio is doing (Don Giovanni, Salzburg Festival, 2021) Is he an arctic explorer with a dog for some reason? Is he a military captain? Is he a guy in a toga with four arms? Romeo Castelluci I demand answers

A:

Artist/poet and professional sillyboy (Shaw’s Man and Superman) Okay, Tavy Robinson is not really Don Ottavio. He’s a lot more naive and adorably stupid, but I put him on the list anyway. Because Tavy is so romantic and idealistic, this works for him pretty well, although I would object if this was used for an actual Ottavio.

Just some rich guy who doesn’t work (various) Probably the most logical updated version of his original character, since noblemen don't work and billionaires don't either. He wears classy grey suits everywhere because he can and so he can look as stylish as possible constantly along with his equally stylish wife.

Undercover cop (Peter Sellars Don Giovanni) Similar to Man and Superman, I consider the Sellars prod to be a completely separate story, but this choice works very well in the story it's trying to tell, and textually, it's not the worst either. Ottavio is trying to catch and kill a criminal, and he also achieves absolutely nothing. Peak American police behavior.

S:

I had a joke here about the La Monnaie 2014 Ottavio but honestly that production portrays this relationship in such a rapey way that I really don't want to mention it as a punchline. So pretend there's something actually cool and insightful here.

Man Jon is stupidly susceptible to reverse psychology. He simply will not be told what to do, and Elias is taking adventage of that. Also insulting him! That's only cute when I do it.

At first I was like... who else is showing signs of infection? I thought only the Archival staff were exposed to the worms?

But the episode explains it. Tim was back on his sillyboy nonsense.

This is a test from Elias to see if Jon has become territorial about the Archives yet. Answer: yes. He's unwilling to leave even to get away from the (and I cannot stress this enough) thousands of rotting worm carcasses. Don't even want to think about the smell in this place, but he needs to keep watch. Elias must be thrilled.

He stopped arguing as soon as he got what he wanted.

Something that Elias does constantly is make himself seem totally calm and unphased while everyone else is a hysterical ranting wreck. He was doing the same thing last episode when he implied that Jon and Martin were irrational for being afraid of the worms when no one else was having issues with them.

Huh. Weird. Probably nothing to be concerned about.

It's not in the transcript, but Jon laughs under his breath when Elias accuses Martin of stealing fire extinguishers. Adorable.

This feels like an unusually risky move for Elias. He was so desperate to ditch Sasha that he walked them both into a tidal wave of worms?

Here we learn that Elias can lie to Jon during a statement (which seems to be a pretty rare ability). I guess technically we don't actually have it confirmed here, but he does say in 160 that he was waiting with his finger on the button for Jon to be traumatised enough for the Corruption mark to take, so all the details about why it took him so long are outright lies designed to make him seem incompetent.

Further cunt behaviour: prompting Jon to relive his own trauma rather than articulating it himself.

i saw your post about petre names, it would probably be best bot to tag that as otherkin, catkin, or wolfkin because petre is none of those things. petre is a category of copinglink and is closer to agere than otherkin. as for names i suggest not naming your pet space unless its for organizational purposes as it can make many people think you are just doing a role play and not taking petre or other forms of nonhumanity seriously.

Hihi there, first off I wanna say thanks for the genuine advice, and that I absolutely do not mean to infringe on petre spaces or otherwise.

I am actually catkin, but I want to get into petre as well, and I'd like to have a sort of named persona that I could use for both of those. I absolutely take petre, agere, and otherkinning seriously, believe me. It's just the way I'm operating. I actually think there's a lot of overlap, at least there is for me. Thanks for understanding, and have a great day/night and remember to drink water!

Rainbow/Thunder:

Well, I used to have Tank the tortoise, but he lives in the animal sanctuary now, and he's a lot happier there. I do visit him sometimes!

Pinkie/Taffy:

My little guy Gummy the alligator of course!! I love taking him places, and he loves to come along on adventures!!! We have matching sweaters teehee

Snow Cone and Chocolate

(Snow Cone)

Rainbow/Thunder: I've looked up to a lot of folks, although some of them not really so much anymore. My ex-friend Gilda, for one. I thought she was great, until she mistreated my other friends. She's alright now, though. My parents, always there to support me. The wonderbolts are kinda tricky, since I became one of them so long ago. Can you look up to a group you join? I dunno maybe

Pinkie/Taffy: I would say Mr. And Mrs. Cake have taught me a lot, not just practically but also just about life!! They've always been so kind and generous and I try to be like them, all warm and soft to everyone like cookies from the oven!!

(Chocolate)

Thunder + Taffy: We aren't ponies, for one, but cute fluffy cats!! Although some of us still have horns or wings. Yeah, and we have better technology too, like video games and tv and stuff. Also Taffy and I use different pronouns, I use any, although I prefer he/him. Same with me!! I like any pronouns!!! Gender? I hardly know her!!!

Banana split

Rainbow/Thunder:

You might expect me to say the sonic rainboom, but I would say that would be finishing a video game. I like video games a lot, but I'll usually pick it up, play it constantly for a few weeks, and put it down and forget about it. Also video games are hard, so it's a feat in and of itself

Pinkie/Taffy:

Watching through what might be some of the scariest stuff I've seen multiple times until I'm not scared of it at all anymore!! I would have to watch someone else reacting to The Walten Files out of fullscreen mode, but now I can watch through it easy peasy lemon squeezy!!

Rainbow Dash would never watch South Park, a show filled with hateful ideology, constant racism, sexism, and child molestation jokes. She would be ashamed of you and hate you for watching it.

Wow I had no idea I wasn't the one who decides what my own kin watches and that I have to kin them in the way that is suitable for your tastes, thank you so much I will keep this in mind for the future :]

[sillyboystimms]

Peach cobbler!!!!

Rainbow/Thunder:

I love discussing video games and larping!!! Also adult cartoons, and cartoons in general. South Park is soooooo funny and I could just think of joke after joke and bust a gut laughing remembering them out loud, especially with friends. They're so fun to quote, dude B]

Pinkie/Taffy:

Anything my friends talk about is funfun!! I love animals and pets, and I know it makes others happyhappy to talk about their pets!! I also love talking about music, one of my favorite things is sharing my favorite songs and artists!! Although when I get exited a lot I tend to talk too fast teehee ^^
