our problem as a society is that we don't talk about vera rostova enough
pierre being tolstoy’s self insert explains so much. like the several pages in the epilogue describing how happy everyone was to see him.
really obsessed with this gif cuz she looks like she’s about to eat pierre
you and i reprise with anatoly and svetlana hurts so bad and i need more of it
i’m so obsessed with the idea of svetlana and florence being penpals. svetlana goes back to living with anatoly trying to continue on the way they were before, then one day she gets a letter and it’s like heyyyyy girlie what’s up?!?
when they did chess in concert again in 2008 his age is fine to me (though he’s still very young, it helps that idina menzel looks about the same age as him) but here he looks so out of place. especially next to adam pascal and julia murney who almost look like they could be playing his parents (but that’s probably in part due to the grainy quality lmao)
freddie looks like he’s thinking “who’s kid just walked on stage”
@miraclesabound so, uh. blame op for this. it wouldn't leave me alone until i did it.

ANATOLY SERGIEVSKY (John Riddle) and SVETLANA SERGIEVSKAYA (Taylor Louderman) in CHESS at The Muny (July 5-11, 2023)
and finally: dr lorrain
my most unpopular take on war and peace is that i dislike andrei. it’s not that i don’t understand him, he’s definitely an interesting character, but i’ve never been able to get over how he treated lise.
natasha rostova is autistic btw
Jim Henson's Muppet Babies (1984-1990)
i may not be the girl he marries but i’m the girl who helps him murder and cook half of london. i’m the girl who gaslights him into thinking his wife is dead. i’m the girl he throws into an oven in an ironic twist.
Sweeney Todd 2023 🔪🥧 🩸
reading war and peace has led me to terrorize the people in my life with chess. imessage chess, chess online, real life chess. and i am so bad at it. like impossibly awful at chess.
And if you don't love me now (you don't love me now) You will never love me again I can still hear you saying (still hear you saying) You would never break the chain (never break the chain)
THEY SLAY (saw Sweeney Todd on broadway a few weeks ago <3)
I’m in my Josh Groban era and I will not apologise 🕺
On a serious note though the great comet of 1812 has touched my soul like no other musical has done before. And the staging is so interactive and alive especially with the audience sitting with the actors and the orchestra pit being centre stage and having the actors be part of the pit and stage. Ugh I’m obsessed. It’s honestly such a masterpiece of theatre.

dial of destiny proved to me that lucasfilm is very, very scared to make movies.
thinking about how steven spielberg wanted the gestapo agent in the first indiana jones movie to be a cyborg with a mechanical arm that could switch back and forth between a machine gun and a flamethrower and how george lucas of all people had to be the one to tell him that it was too over the top
INDIANA JONES + wearing his glasses
Indiana Jones + humour
