Why Are These 2 The Way That They Are

Why are these 2 the way that they are 🤣

adrienette season 5 dynamic my beloved

FACTS. You're so right about 2005. it's the perfect mix between historical and psychological. i love mate and maya so MUCH. *whispers* i also have fanfiction and i am also accepting prompts....

1992 with Uwe and Pia is fantastical and mesmerizing, the overall tone is like a story where Lucheni is the writer, flipping through each pages. 2005 with Maya and Máté is intense, it’s a constant struggle for power over the narrative and other characters, Elisabeth, Death, Lucheni. They seem to be truly living and occasionally intercepting each other’s stories. So full of drama. It’s the most cathartic for me. And Maya might not be THE Elisabeth like Pia, but her passion and fire is unmatched, like how Máté invented a new Death, she invented a new Elisabeth. I even adore the roughness in her voice.

Also drop the fanfic link, friend 👀

Accurate description

I know the Love Square is changing a lot right now and some people are confused so I made an up to date diagram to help explain it

Hope it helps! 🥰

The Mononoke production team really went and fed Sakurai Takahiro to the Bakeneko. As much as the outcome may potentially result in complicated feelings in some, I MUST commend their guts and their decision to stand against mistreatment of women (shows how aware they are of the masterpiece they are working on). And it makes me respect and look forward to the movie even more.

Does anybody have the transcript of the original German lyrics of the ORIGINAL Schwarzer Prinz? The one in 1992? 🥹 Cuz I can’t seem to find it anywhere. The only one I found is the one used in the Viennese Revival which is already changed …

I agree with everything you said and I demand more.

One additional thought. The Takarazuka Revue didn’t choose to cast all female, they chose to adapt this musical into their all-female cast company. But to me the problem isn’t in the cast, it’s in the way the writers REWROTE AND DESTROYED ONE OF THE BEST MUSICALS OF ALL TIME. No internal consistency, characters are bland, Death is the protagonist now btw, and worst of all, they made the show KITSCHY.

2005 Vienne is the most intense and spectacular imo

rating elisabeth productions i’ve seen because why not!

1992 in Wien: fae king is concerned how into it random girl in the woods is after repeatedly telling him her name. blue! it’s so blue and the little pause at her wedding is the greatest bit. pia’s dress!!!! oh goodness, she radiates sisi for me, both story wise and history wise. she brings such respect to a woman i love and hopefully is resting in peace. also uwe and pia are literally bffs it’s beautiful i have never seen a gay man kiss a woman with as much love and respect as i do when these two play death and sisi. like even in concerts he *still* does the final act bridal carry. only downside is i need more physicality! 

2002 in Essen: pia’s last performance of sisi and i just-it’s bittersweet but the way she brings everything to the role. the literal screams and cheers of the audience with her final note in ich gehör nur mir gives me chills every single time. i wish they kept in the blocking with her and rudolf when he comes to her in the garden (the poor boy, or rather, young man at this point buries his face into her stomach and i literally cannot-) and the heartbreak of her saying “i never beg. i won’t even do it for you.” like it hurts so bad but so good. she also does a cartwheel. barefoot. petticoats and all! (also pia did a revival in i think…2018? in concert. she’s 60 something and she can still hit the g5 at the end of ich gehör nur mir. i literally teared up when i saw the clip. she will always embody sisi for me. forever. 

2005 in Wien: two feral idiots have an argument for two hours.literally the greatest of all time, i will be taking no other thoughts. was the first production i watched and i fell head over heels in love. went to school the next day, screaming about it to my friends (who didn’t care) and the promptly went to scream about it my history teacher (who did care). mate and maya are the most psychological and historical for me. the interwoven bliss of the tumbling, complicated relationship between death and sisi directly contrasted with the fall of the haspburg empire, the choice between yourself or what you have to do in this life, everything about it. serkan kaya is literally the greatest lucheni and i want to simultaneously wring his neck for killing sisi but also lowkey adopt him for his freaking runs and literally hitting the same note of a freaking trumpet. the physicality between mate and maya makes me melt, because it’s rough and feral and then soft and longing. the almost nose brush! the complete amusement from death followed by confusion and then fascination and then all of that is literally mirrored in the slowed down moment at her wedding when they circle each other cate please i’m going to combust- 

takarazuka: it’s a no for me. japan has beautiful sets and costumes, but the choice to make the entire cast female was terrible. i’m watching bad performances of women pretending to be men and singing parts way too low for their ranges. also death is just…weird? it’s unsettling. also the show doesn’t sound good in japanese compared to other languages like german, dutch, and korean. 

2012: kill it with fire. no, don’t even do that. wait until it’s coming off of a boat and then stab it repeatedly with a file. this is the worst adaptation my eyes have ever had the misfortune to see. the soundtrack itself isn’t terrible, and if anything mark siebert is probably my favorite when it comes to his version of die schatten werden länger [akt 2]. but the production set is legit just….it’s nothing. there’s nothing but a ramp. it’s so ugly. and GOD, death isn’t…he’s not some macho goth man? and then having actresses who play sisi entirely as timid, white, 20 somethings completely takes me out of the character and the story. there’s no strength. there’s no passion. i’m just watching pretty young women who have the worst, high school production old age makeup i have ever seen. i hate it so much. not a production but: there were some choices made to have elisabeth be played by two different actresses and that legitimately made me so upset, i had to go and do something else. it completely strips away sisi as a person and a character and i despise this take. 

2020: maya is too old to play sis but did i cry when she came out in THE dress? yes. everything else is awful. that fucking SWING I’M GONNA MURDER SOMEONE- please get rid of mark as death i’m so tired-
