miniseries -- BSD Characters as Musicals
part 1 -- ADA part 2 -- PM part 3 -- Guild part 4 -- DOA + Hunting Dogs
*standard disclaimer that this isn't meant to be taken too seriously
[content warning for musicals that heavily feature. 1930s-40s Germany and sexual abuse? I guess? not even sure what to call some of these]
Part 5 -- 15 + Stormbringer original Characters
Rimbaud -- Moulin Rouge
why? -- the whole 'I love you. But I have a job to do.' that he's got going on with Verlaine.
Rimbaud 🤝 Satine: 'I love you, I would die for you, but you are actively doing something that will put us both in danger and you gotta stop this.'
---
Verlaine -- Epic
why? -- he really does live by the "ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves" mindset.
he's really out here killing everyone. just to be safe. just to make sure there's no one left alive who could mess up his epic plans of hanging out with his brother.
very intentional of me to choose the Ocean Saga cover for the image here
---
Albatross -- Starlight Express
why? -- it's trains. it's about trains racing. and he's the fast transportation guy.
---
Pianoman -- Beetlejuice
why? -- they.. they like to wear the same aesthetic.
I'm positive he owns a black and white striped suit. it's practically canon.
---
Lippmann-- Mean Girls
why? -- well I'm not calling my guy Regina George but he sure does know how to play politics. Mr PR man. Beautiful. Can destroy your life if he so wished.
---
Iceman -- A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder
why? -- he's known to kill with whatever's on hand or available. Doesn't even bring his own weapons to a murder. Very Monty Navarro of him.
Monty 🤝 Iceman: getting a bit creative with the murder methods
---
Murase -- Cabaret
why? -- similar to Clifford Bradshaw, when he was desperate for work, he took a job that ultimately lead to him doing something harmful (in his case, killing children)
and I'd like to think that similar to Clifford, if he had the chance to just. straight up beat up the government (or his brother) that had him doing this job, he would.
although he's still in contact with N, I'd like to think that if he were made aware of what was going on, he would choose violence.
[content warning before you go and listen to cabaret: if you're not familiar with Cabaret, this is fully about nazi germany. and although clifford (the male lead) does beat up a nazi, it ultimately doesn't end well for anyone. so. do with that what you will.]
---
N -- G*psy
why? -- it's the whole Making someone into something they're not. whether they like it or not. Molding someone into what you want them to be. Forcibly.
I was debating between N or Mori for this one, but Mori's more subtle than this.
The scene where Rose forces Louise to do the strip show really was just. blatant. The taking of someone's bodily autonomy through force for personal gain.
Both N and Rose use more manipulation tactics than physical force to strong-arm people. And both are convinced that they're not doing anything wrong. No matter how bad their actions are, they're convinced that they're working towards some greater goal.
and they both pretty much get away with it
(N dying doesn't count because from his pov he still succeeded in every way)
---
Dr. Mary Wollstonecraft -- Firebringer
why? -- we're back to the silly goofy musicals!! yeah it's just for the whole appreciation of innovation. hot take, Mary and Zazzalil would get along. in fact Mary would respect her. The inventor of fire and the inventor of sentient androids. they'd love that.
---
Adam -- Maybe Happy Ending
why? -- androids going against their programming by falling in love with each other? This would be his new 'watch on repeat' show
which he could do literally. as an android. he could attend the show once and record it with his internal cameras, and then watch it whenever he wants.
I recognize that he's a law enforcement officer of some sort and it's probably not encouraged for him to take illegal recordings, however. he does have free will. so let him do with that what he will.
---
Shirase -- Bad Cinderella
why? -- Thinks of himself as cool. Everyone around him finds him annoying.
I'm so sorry Shirase I love you but you're objectively an annoyance to everyone who puts up with you.
