Their favorite time of day is late afternoon

And, some of their interactions at a party (Babette is not complaining)

[stuckasmain]

Beauty and the beast national tour, rapid thoughts:

Really energetic and cute. The dance breaks are nice, feel very Rogers and Hammerstein but it makes Gaston boarder just slightly on too long.

Madame and Babette absolutely steal every scene they are in, delightfully high energy

Lumiere and Babette being jealous, horny, devoted and really high energy - they’re very French™️

The Beast was fantastic, he felt so youthful? Teenage almost, you could tell he got turned young— he’s angsty, he’s bouncy, he’s unsure how to move and present himself it was a fantastic performance

The way he moves. The way he sits when Belle reads to him??? And a few times they rest their head on each others shoulder? OUGH

The duck gag with Lefou at the very start will never not be hilarious.

Gaston said “oh 6….7, boys/sons” and stared dead at the audience. Apparently it flew over everyone’s head but that was funny idc

Human again SWEEPSSSSS

Evermore >>>>>>> if I can’t love her (I’m sorry argue with the wall)

At the ending Madame comes out last and just does a huge “YESSSSSS >:D” and that was a belly laugh

Kinda bummed there’s a lack of food/dining imagery in Be our guest past the start, there’s some plates and forks but by the second break mainly colors

Towards the end Lumiere says “my prince” and it’s an arrow straight to the heart and lives rent free in my mind.

Rip Jean-Claude he is now a wall. Just straight up the wall.

I like that the Servants clothes at the end are distinct from their inanimate costumes, the colors still align and feel distinctly them but it’s not just the same costumes minus a piece or two— I don’t think I’ve seen this before and I love it! Quick change 🗣️

“A change in me” is completely unnecessary as a song and would be fine with just dialogue, this with some dance breaks — I feel make the end (and act 2 as a whole) a SPRINT - like I said before Gaston spawns out of the mist, throws hands and then confetti canons - shows over

A change in me on top of not being needed, as we get all of it through the story itself or things Belle already says— also just feels sort of the same as “Home Reprise”

I know there’s a mirror but Chip’s cart is still really cool

Ophelia tries to make a friend! ... success?

She may have timed her exit a tad too early...

[aaa this is a lil messy in terms of formatting but hopefully it all communicates fine...]

Fun fact, I originally planned for her to look more panicked after her early escape- it being a more intentional and her more nervous about how it went, but decided she should be a bit more spaced out about it- at least visually. I want her to come across more "Accidentally becomes a ghost story" first and "socially anxious" second lol. but trust that this is also happening in her head:

I love your Babette x Angelique artwork. It's just like Lumiworth; an attractive, flirtatious, freaky person x older/younger stricter co-worker.

Thank you for the compliment <3

(And sorry for not replying sooner.)

Yes, they have the Lumiworth vibe, I notice the resemblance hehe.

But there are also differences, like aesthetically there's a more rococo touch to them.

Babette is lively, warm, and lives on the physical plane. Angelique, on the other hand, lives on the mental plane, melancholic even though she is an angel, who should give hope.

I believe I'll bring a lot of art of them, they've been inspiring me lately. Anyway, thank you for the question!

(I did it on March 18th, but I didn't have the courage to post it.)
