There's so much going on in the Italian production of Anastasia

I love how passionate they made gleb (we are ignoring him ripping his shirt apart in still. That didn't happen wdym)

[isabelofwraithmarsh]

So...are we going to talk about Italian Gleb seemingly having an angsty shirtless scene in front of a map or....????

new current fixation is anastasia and im not even sorry about it

ramin’s gleb lives in my mind rent free and i aint even mad about it

[hadleyfrasergender]

in this household we have a love-hate relationship with gleb vaganov

by that i mean we like him as a character, in certain scenes, and in aus but if we met him in real life we'd smack his face

also glimya rights

You most certainly can kill Gleb again, but consider; it can be worse if you leave him alive. In my opinion, it is often more painful if he has to keep living, if he has to keep going. I don't know what vibe you are going for, but him living is often so much more painful than him dying, and if that is what you want, I would go for it!-Pure Anon

Oh I’m so glad you saw that post, I was hoping you’d have something to say about it!

Well, you see, she’s (still on my genderbent nonsense, sorry) actually gonna be happy for a bit in this one. But I wanted to bring in a lot of stuff, including but not limited to: sharing a bed, the gay clubs of 1920s Paris, some yearning, the complexities of all types of female relationships (been thinking a lot about how Gleb still being her father’s daughter could affect her family’s dynamic), etc. So she still would need to live with herself for a little bit, at least, and heal. I’m also still sort of dwelling on, like, what happens when some not-super-important officer decides to defect. I’ve got her having a few close calls with like, people trying to kill her, and it drives a bit of the plot (what little there is) but I’m having issues deciding whether to bring it to that conclusion, or just let her and Anya have an implied happy ending. (I’m, unhelpfully, being crushed under Actual History a little here, because every time I think of them carving out a place in France, I skip forward to WWII, and the knowledge that either ending wouldn’t be particularly happy, so I say implied happy ending because of that.)

I don’t know. I think it would probably be narratively fulfilling to have her live, but, you know, the allure of easy angst.

If there’s anyone out there at all willing to edit and brainstorm on a historical fiction story I want to write, blending the Anastasia movie/musical with a method on how the children all could’ve escaped death, could you please message me? I’d like a beta reader to help collaborate on this with me.

Thanks in advance!
