Day 8, “Maurice”

@lotftober2024

It’s fem!Maurice!

Some Maurice headcanons, if you even care:

• Is short-sighted but doesn’t care enough to get glasses (-2.00)

• Is Italian, but he’s trilingual (Italian, English, and French).

• Loves marine biology, just like his dad, who he looks up to. I think Maurice definitely has one of the better relationships with his father and family in general.

• Plays the violin

• Collects sea glass with his younger brother since they lived near the beach before moving to England just before the war started. Used to live in Trieste.

• Misses Italy a lot, he prefers sunny weather to dreary English rain. It makes his hair frizzy.

Lotftober Day 6, Childhood

@lotftober2024

better late than never! I chose to draw young piggy with his teddy that mum gave him

I haven’t done watercolours in a while since I’ve been focusing on gouache so this was a nice change!

[sisigull]

Fellas… what if I just made a Roger bookmark idk?!!

[sisigull]

Literally gonna rejoin the fandom to do LOTFober I swear

Plot twist:

We've planned out a good chunk of LotFtober

[sisigull]

Coming back from hibernation to tell you about a song that reminds me so much of the ineffable husband during S2E6 it’s abysmal

It’s in my native language but it’s basically about someone begging their lover not to go since they knew each other for so long and they would go on their knees (the song title) for them to stay. This is SO CROWLEY CODED AHHHHH

[sisigull]

Lotfers, what the fuck is with yall recently 😭

I’ve been gone off tumblr for less than a week then suddenly, there’s a plethora of drama that’s honestly really unnecessary 💀

I thought we’re a wholesome family bro

[sisigull]

Throwback to the time I had to draw the characters for hw with correct citations and I forgot to draw Jack (this was before becoming obsessed with these blorbos)

[sisigull]

Chat is this real?

I am the most normallest Kaiserin Sisi fan

[sisigull]

Lotfers, got some bad news 😞

I lost interest in the book and I really need a break to focus on skl and other things. I’ve alr been posting less and less bc I wasn’t on break too. It might come back but I just gonna say adios for now. I love you lotfies and if you still wanna interact with me I’m fine with it! Hey I might even post smth lotf related or two from time to time. You guys are a great bunch and keep being great!

Now back to skl work

[sisigull]

If you ever wonder what a C sharp sounds like and you’re a theatre kid + loves LotF, you can hear it in “Waiting for Life” from Once on this Island. It’s in A Major, which has 3 sharps, F#, C#, and G#.

The part where she sings “We’ll drive~~~~~!” (around 2:01 in cast recording), the note to belt drive is a C sharp and I can belt that 🤪🐚☝️🤓

Yes I am a fucking nerd

[sisigull]

I can talk for sooo long about how the west end version is the superior version. Simply put, all of the orchestral changes were for the better. From a musical perspective alone, the songs are more dynamic as they ride of the slow and dragged on pace of songs like “thin air” and “Tour de France”. I remembered listening to the Broadway album and feeling bored out of my mind because some of the songs were way too slow compared to the west end.

So many of the songs are wayyyy too dragged out that it becomes tiring to listen to it, especially when there’s multiple songs that are basically the same beat wise.

As OP also said, the west end simply has a better opening number. I prefer “flight of the blue fly” to whatever the broadway’s version is. I also prefer how “times are hard for dreamers” is later in the show compared to it being the 5th track of the Broadway version. It makes more sense character wise for the song to be later in the show as we can see how Amelie goes from a girl who keeps to herself to someone who is more outgoing and ready to face the world.

I can go on and on and on, especially about the absolute bore of a song “The Commute” is compared to the superior “The sound of going round in circles”. Also the west end’s French accent which is *chef’s kiss*?! I digress. If you want me to ramble more I’m so down for it.

amélie the musical (broadway recording) or amélie the musical (london recording) choose wisely

easy. london because broadway doesn't have the greatest part of the entire musical aka the "oh, oh, oh, oh" melody line and chorus of flight of the blue fly, which then returns in halfway (reprise) and makes me start crying

(any mutuals unfamiliar with amélie the musical please listen to this song, it makes me feel like running through a field of wheat à la theresa may)
