i trust you as my advisor in this matter: if i wanted to experience chess, where would you recommend i start? my understanding is that it's wildly different with every production (correct?), so are there any that you think are particularly good or accessible as an entry point, or just most popular among the fans

this is a HUGE question ohgosh. perhaps as many answers to this as there are versions of chess.

the two points of introduction I'd personally recommend, and the two most generally popular from what I've seen:

The original 1984 concept album. go in blind. let the orchestra and vocals wash over you. don't worry about forming/following a coherent plot. just don't worry about it.

(also trust that Merrano is a red herring for what the rest of the album is like. trust me. trust me.)

(ok i'm relistening to this album as I type this and you also have to make it through a couple of other songs. but it's worth it. it's SO worth it you need to just make it through the entire album beginning to end no matter what I PROMISE it's worth it)

or

Chess in Concert 2008. easily found uploaded in parts on youtube (although I think the one part missing is Deal (No Deal) which is one of my favourite songs ahhhh). pretty nicely staged for a concert version! I also do listen to the album for this one an awful lot.

possibly has the most coherent book of any version to date! yay! I feel like this has been the springboard for most versions since (or at least, it certainly was for the local theatre version which thrust me into being a Chess fan)

also many more songs than the concept album including some of my favourites (The Soviet Machine, The Interview, Someone Else's Story, Talking Chess, etc). has JOSH GROBAN who is a bit of a religious experience in this role as always (just a fantastic cast in general actually!).

whichever approach you may choose to take!

the key is to COMMIT to experiencing the entirety of it beginning to end

it's just one of those things which.

well.

you'll Understand.

despite not having watched an episode of hannibal since it finished in 2015, i had a dream about hannibal and will last night, for which i can only blame you. thought you'd like to know about this achievement

the fact that this isn’t even the first time I’ve done this to someone.... I like to think of myself as a kind of freddy krueger except instead of murdering people in their sleep I just torment them with dreams about the gay cannibal show

do you have a bookstagram? i'd be interested in following if so!!

I don’t as of now! I do have a personal instagram which you can find here if you want to give me a follow :) It’s private but that’s just bc I occasionally post about being queer and I can’t let my workplace find out or else I’ll be fired lol :p But I’ll def accept any follows from people from tumblr!!

I also have a punkenglishnerd account on instagram, but I haven’t posted anything there yet. I don’t even know what kind of content I would post. But feel free to follow it if you want! I also have a punkenglishnerd youtube channel that I haven’t posted anything on either. I just saved the username for ig and yt in case I think of something to post, but so far I have zero ideas. So if anyone has any ideas for instagram or youtube content, please let me know!

hey ella i'm hoping you can help me with some of that GOOD gossip. the whole "flo is secretly the father of zaho's baby and they're married" rumour? is there any evidence for it or is it all just hearsay?

okay this is gonna be long so it’s going under a cut but short answer i think there is a very strong possibility that all of what you said is true

so basically there have been rumors of zaflo ever since their LRA days.  there’s a video of them rehearsing a scene (not sure from what though because it’s not from LRA) where they kiss, and that kiss has been taken out of context and was what probably started the rumors in the first place.  this would’ve been early to mid 2015

at first i was like nah they’re just castmates and i was pretty anti-rumors mostly bc of how some of the other real person shipping among the cast was going down, but on more than one occasion we saw zaho and flo getting into the same car leaving the palais des congrès after a show (this would be fall 2015)

after LRA ended and danse avec les stars started (late 2016), the zaflo rumors kinda faded when people started wondering if flo and his partner candice were dating.  both refuted the rumors on multiple occasions by saying they were seeing other people.  also noteworthy in that article (from january 2017) is that flo mentions wanting to be a father towards the end.  this is also not the first time flo mentions wanting to start a family (i can’t find the article i’m thinking of, but i think he even started talking about it during LRA’s run)

over the course of 2017, flo and zaho seemed to mysteriously be in the same place at the same time.  for instance, there are these two posts that look like they were taken in the same apartment.  he was in montréal at the same time she was having a concert there (and i think flo posted about the concert on his instagram story, but that’s long gone now), and they went to cuba together too.  flo also started posting more from montréal and canada in general, which is where zaho grew up and i’m assuming where her family still lives

late 2017/early 2018 zaho either confirmed or people are fairly sure that she’s moved to montréal.  she announced her pregnancy in april 2018 but said nothing about the identity of the father.  meanwhile a few months later, flo retweeted that last linked article without commentary:

so either flo just really wants people to know his friend and former castmate is pregnant or he’s dropping a major hint that he’s the father or he was searching zaho on twitter and accidentally retweeted it

at mikele and flo’s concert in beijing in august of that year (2018), flo confirms that he now lives in montréal (we know this thanks to vanessa being at that concert).

so for the longest all we know is zaho is pregnant, flo’s seeing someone and wants to be a father, and the two of them spend a lot of time together and live in the same city.

flash forward to like a week ago???  zaho’s posting cute pics of her and her son in paris, and we’ve heard nothing from flo since he posted in december 2018 for the danser sous la pluie second anniversary.  then literally a week and two days ago, zaho posts a video on her instagram story (which i should’ve saved but didn’t) of her and her son at a restaurant with flo!!  flo is sitting next to zaho, and her son is standing in between them.  the most important detail though is flo is wearing a ring on his wedding finger!!!  and i’ve never really seen him wear rings just for funsies in the past, so i’m assuming that means he got married.  however, we don’t really have confirmation that zaho’s the one he married, just a lot of coincidences that seem to line up with them being together
