THE FATES Sam Buttery as ATROPOS Suzy Eddie Izzard as LACHESIS (LACHY) Ché as CLOTHO
Ché
Haha, I can’t help it, but I keep thinking of the scene of which Kinn, Porsche, Kim and Porschay all meet up. I can just imagine it going something like this:
Kim takes Porsché to the main house when they bump into Porsche who instantly recognises Ché and runs over to him.
Porsche: Chay? What are you doing here?!
Chay: Hia? What are YOU doing here?
Kinn comes over: What’s going on?
Porsche, looking to Kinn: What the hell is Chay doing here?!
Kim: Wait? *looking between Porsche and Porschay* You two KNOW each other?
Kinn: Kim? What are you doing here? And how do you two know each other?
Kim: We’re a thing now, I brought Porschay here to meet Papa.
Porsche: You’re a what?
Kinn: You know Porsche’s brother?
Porsche: Your brother knows my brother?
Chay, looking at Kim: Your older brother is my brother’s boss?
Kim: And boyfriend.
Chay: You’re in a relationship?! HIA! You didn’t tell me!
Porsche: *still trying to process everything, like how Chay is there, with Kinn’s younger brother Kim, and apparently they’re dating* I think I need to sit down.
I can imagine that it would be a load of chaotic confusion and I think it’s going to be so funny.
Plus, a bonus:

That would so cute!
EXPORTING REVOLUTION TO THE CONGO IN '65.
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on Ernesto "Che" Guevara reading, posing for photographs, and instructing the Congolese locals in guerrilla warfare in the Congo during the Congo Crisis, c. 1965.
The following is Ernesto Che Guevara'sarewell farewell letter to Fidel Castro, and his then last documented postmarked appearance before mysteriously disappearing, and later surfacing in the Congo during the same year.
"Havana, April 1, 1965,
Fidel:
At this moment I remember many things: when I met you in Maria Antonia's house, when you proposed I come along, all the tensions involved in the preparations. One day they came by and asked who should be notified in case of death, and the real possibility of it struck us all. Later we knew it was true, that in a revolution one wins or dies (if it is a real one). Many comrades fell along the way to victory.
Today everything has a less dramatic tone, because we are more mature, but the event repeats itself. I feel that I have fulfilled the part of my duty that tied me to the Cuban revolution in its territory, and I say farewell to you, to the comrades, to your people, who now are mine.
I formally resign my positions in the leadership of the party, my post as minister, my rank of commander, and my Cuban citizenship. Nothing legal binds me to Cuba. The only ties are of another nature — those that cannot be broken as can appointments to posts.
Reviewing my past life, I believe I have worked with sufficient integrity and dedication to consolidate the revolutionary triumph. My only serious failing was not having had more confidence in you from the first moments in the Sierra Maestra, and not having understood quickly enough your qualities as a leader and a revolutionary.
I have lived magnificent days, and at your side I felt the pride of belonging to our people in the brilliant yet sad days of the Caribbean [Missile] crisis. Seldom has a statesman been more brilliant as you were in those days. I am also proud of having followed you without hesitation, of having identified with your way of thinking and of seeing and appraising dangers and principles.
Other nations of the world summon my modest efforts of assistance. I can do that which is denied you due to your responsibility as the head of Cuba, and the time has come for us to part.
You should know that I do so with a mixture of joy and sorrow. I leave here the purest of my hopes as a builder and the dearest of those I hold dear. And I leave a people who received me as a son. That wounds a part of my spirit. I carry to new battlefronts the faith that you taught me, the revolutionary spirit of my people, the feeling of fulfilling the most sacred of duties: to fight against imperialism wherever it may be. This is a source of strength, and more than heals the deepest of wounds.
I state once more that I free Cuba from all responsibility, except that which stems from its example. If my final hour finds me under other skies, my last thought will be of this people and especially of you. I am grateful for your teaching and your example, to which I shall try to be faithful up to the final consequences of my acts.
I have always been identified with the foreign policy of our revolution, and I continue to be. Wherever I am, I will feel the responsibility of being a Cuban revolutionary, and I shall behave as such. I am not sorry that I leave nothing material to my wife and children; I am happy it is that way. I ask nothing for them, as the state will provide them with enough to live on and receive an education.
I would have many things to say to you and to our people, but I feel they are unnecessary. Words cannot express what I would like them to, and there is no point in scribbling pages."

My random musical characters headcanons:
Christine Daaé has hypotension. (Low blood pressure)
Because as a person who has it and who gets dizzy with every major weather change, I said so. Add to it the book blonde-blue eyed and short - sighted Christine et voilà, I AM Christine. (JK)
On a more serious note, let’s face it, she has a tendency to faint a lot. (Yes, I’m aware that ladies from that era fainted bcs of corsets, but still)
When she returns from the Phantom’s lair, she needs rest. (Meg said it) Aside from the obvious tiredness, the change of environment (to the underground and back) could cause her to feel dizzy.
If the actress is a ballerina, Christine still isn’t really a great dancer. She stops and gets told to concentrate. Might as well be because she got a slight vertigo after that pirouette.
The moment during Masquerade when she’s surrounded and basically thrown around by people who resemble the Phantom? It’s like she’s shaky and doesn’t have a total control over her body, and the fact that the people resemble Erik might be just her blurry vision. That’s why when she reunites with Raoul, he holds her not just as a romantic gesture but as a support from collapsing.
Ché (Evita) has an ambivalent fanboy-hater syndrome.
K this is controversial especially if you stand behind Ché being the actual Ernesto Guevara (which I don’t) and prefer his character being dressed as such. But seriously:
First, the thought of that is hilarious, don’t mind me.
I can easily imagine him in the age of social media following Eva on everything and despite hating everything she does, he’s kinda obsessed with her. (And the latter is basically canon come on 🤣)
EVITA isn’t historically much accurate, so I can think what I want of him as a fictional character.
Ulla can actually speak English well, she’s really smart and knows that her accent and mistakes make her even hotter, so she uses that to control the men around her.
Plus it helps her avoid any discussion about the “Aryan race” that Franz might want to initiate with her, because she is basically that, but disagrees with him. We stan a hot smart Swedish Queen. (TBH this can be hard to apply on the actual show if the actress seems really dumb)
Food for thought for Cats’ fans:
Was Macavity actually intended to have magic in the original?
I know that a lot of people HC him as an evil magician to oppose Mr. Mistoffelees, as the good magician. (I do too and I HC him as his father...)
But in the original, was he? I haven’t seen it live on stage, (YET, hopefully) but in the video version he disappears using some electric-wires-thingy, not actual magic.
I know the song mentions his “powers of levitation” but that could be just a metaphor of the fact that he’s a criminal, a really flexible cat that can escape quickly and that he freaks people out.
Or maybe I just want to think that the movie, despite not being very good, (tho I enjoyed it) did one fan service as they noticed a lot of fans considering Mac a magician so they gave him magic powers.
Decided to redraw my ol gal Ché from 2017
Another gorgeous male model from britain.
Oliver Cheshire launched his own men’s resort-wear brand(Ché), that makes use of recycled and sustainable fabrics.
