alternative take: Pamina and Papageno in that scene where they sneak out of the castle with Papageno going "hush hush hushhhhh"

#it's funny because when people are guessing where I'm from depending on my accent it's like. Two options.

#you must be from the south! Was told to me excitedly by an exchange student from Brooklyn

#are you from the west? Tentatively asked by a few other American exchange students

#I have also been told that I have an Italian accent though the only Italian I know is how to perform Il e bello com' el sol from NDDP 😂

#funny when most other people on this site are older than you 😂

#this is highschool all over again

#so how's little Herbie doing?

#oh he found a friend? How lovely!

#I know exactly how you feel

#"oh daddy my bf is SOOooooo great" all day long...

On the parentage of Esmeralda

SO, we know that in the Notre Dame De Paris, Esmeralda isn't the kidnapped daughter of Paquette (La Chantfleurie), since Paquette isn't in the musical and also Esmeralda doesn't have her amulet with the baby shoe on her. Which begs the question; who are her parents supposed to be?

Esmeralda does not look like Clopin's gang, even if Phoebus calles her "mon ange noir" I still see Esmeralda as a white-ish girl (thank you casting committee). With that in mind I suggest that she is in fact NOT a gypsy, but got accepted into the gypsy tribe because they knew her mother. Well then, who was she?

Allow me to present my theory on that. For those who watched the musical Don Juan, they will remember the girl called "Belle Andalouse", the dancer at the tavern, with whom Don Juan spent the night and then left behind, even though she wanted him to stay.

(Proof ^^)

Now then, what does Esmeralda tell Phoebus about her parentage? Only that her mother (!) was a Spaniard (!!) who told her about Andalousia (!!!).

(Proof ^^)

So, here's my theory: after Don Juan seduced La Belle Andalouse, she became pregnant, and lost her job at the tavern, maybe because she had to stop dancing, maybe because they didn't have paid maternity leave, or maybe because they had the same policy as Monsieur Madeleine in his factory. Who knows.

So the Andalusian Fantine loses her job, and, in my theory, meets the gypsies. How, I do not now. Maybe she was seeking shelter and they took her in. Maybe she was kind to them earlier, and they remembered. Anyhow, Clopin decides to take her in, and they bond. Soon after, Baby Esmeralda is born, and Andalousian Fantine goes back to dancing. Gypsies are a tolerant folk, and they happily accept a good dancer. So, Belle Andalouse travels with them, as does Baby Esmeralda.

Somewhere among the road Belle Andalouse, sadly, dies, and so we are left with Esmeralda entrusted to the care of Belle Andalouse's good friend Clopin, as seen in "Esmeralda, tu Sais"

(Proof ^^)

Here again, Clopin confirms that the girl who bore Esmeralda was Andalousian.

Bonus: I think this theory also explains why Esmeralda was irresistible to every man in a 5-mile radius; her father was none other than the most charming Don Juan!! ;)

This is an amazing idea, but also, consider this; I have a pretty good memory, but for the wrong things

Guy interrogating me: we know you were at the meeting where your team was briefed on the Secret Weapon Designed for Good. Now, what can you tell us about it?

Me, slightly ashamed of myself: well, you see, I was on my phone for like, 95% of the meeting - there was a very vivid tumblr discussion :D

Guy interrogating me: ...but you surely have to remember SOMETHING from what was being shown on the slides?

Me: well, you see, actually, a wasp flew in in the middle of the meeting - that's when I stopped scrolling - and it decided to take a nap on the beamer lens, so...not much to see there...

I would be the worst spy of all time because on one hand I overshare like hell, but on the other hand I also have THE shittiest memory so it’s really a lose/lose scenario for everyone involved.

#very small one but eh

#if they all reside in one huge Transsylvanian castle it's like an empire for them

#especially if it has a back yard

Okay I need some answers, so please share this if you can :)
