Playing actual bisexual disaster Clifford Bradshaw in Cabaret has been an honor. Cliff is one of the most iconically queer roles in MT history and I’m incredibly proud to be portraying him. Cabaret is, right now, quite a difficult show to be doing given the current climate. But all the more important for it. Anyways! I liked these pics and wanted to share with yall 😁✌🏻

More Clone High Cabaret doodles, this time featuring Julius Caesar playing Ernst Ludwig. Yes I just invented a new ship, so what? (I call it either Lincaesar or Juliabe I can't decide on one)

I'll post the list of who each clone plays soon.

Cutie bonus (Yes they're eating pizza because of the reason you think they are)

Prince George of Wales and his "chum" Princess Marie of Edinburgh (Missy)

Marie of Edinburgh (Marie Alexandra Victoria; 1875 – 1938) was born into the British royal family. Her parents were Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh (later the reigning Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha) and Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia (daughter of Tsar Alexander II).

"Missy" (her nickname) grew into a “lovely young woman” with “sparkling blue eyes and silky fair hair.” She did not lack suitors from a young age and was courted by several royal bachelors, including Prince George of Wales. Prince George served for many years under his uncle, Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, as a naval cadet in Malta. There, he grew close to young Marie.

Queen Victoria, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh all approved of the match. Missy seemed ameneable to the idea of George as a possible husband. George's mother, Alexandra Princess of Wales and Marie's mother, the Duchess of Edinburgh vetoed the match. The Duchess of Edinburgh did not wish for her daughter to remain in England, she never liked her husbands native land.

Another reason the Duchess of Edinburgh was against the idea of the marriage between George and Marie was the fact that they were first cousins and although first cousin marriages were accepted in England, they were not permitted by the Russian Orthodox Church.

Thus, when George officially proposed to her, Marie did as she was told by her mother and informed him that the marriage was impossible and that he must remain her “beloved chum”. Marie's father was devastated, as his dearest dream had been to see Marie married to George.

George continued on his unhurried search for a suitable Princess to marry and found a solid and beloved life partner in Princess Mary of Teck (who had been his brother's fiance.) Marie married the Crowned Prince of Romania, Ferdinand.

Marie kept gifts that George gave her during their courtship until her death, and they remained close friends for the whole of their lives. In 1901, well after they had both married other people, she wrote to him that those years in Malta were the happiest she ever had.
