Anyone else here familiar with this small subgenre of fics that entirely have to do with characters (typically Disney characters) watching their own movie (usually by being magically transported to a private movie theater room), either post-canon or at some point during the plot?

This, but with opera characters watching their own opera. @ operablr, please acknowledge this.

#opera #characters watching their movies #characters watching their operas #opera characters #that is very much fanfic fuel in many ways but i'm not always sure on how to proceed

Okay Operablr I'm curious, when you think of opera characters generally in your head, do you picture how they look in your favorite production of the opera they're in? Or your own character design? Or something else? Or does it vary per character?

#idk if this makes sense but im curious #my synesthesiac brain has me thinking of how they look based on the letters in their name #but for some i picture them how they look in my favorite productions #or my fantasy productions #opera #opera tag #opera characters

top 5 opera characters

and i immediately am reminded as to why i usually don’t do ask games like this. :/ (but thanks, love you ❤️)

in no particular order, and with no particular reasoning attached, here are just five of my favorites—and they’re all women:

Carmen (Carmen)

Tatyana Larina (Eugene Onegin)

Blanche de la Force (Dialogues des Carmélites)

Mélisande (Pelléas et Mélisande)

Amelia Grimaldi (Simon Boccanegra)

A list of solutions that could literally have saved the lives of several opera characters:

Go see a therapist

End up as a polyamorous relationship

Be respectful of other people’s boundaries

TALK TO PEOPLE

Infatuation =/= love

Wait for at least a short while before engaging in drastic actions

Use your brain to think rather than your heart

Use strictly non-violent solutions to get what you want

Don’t do certain things solely because you’re crazy in love with someone, you will regret it

Settle for better person in the cast as a romantic partner. Maybe it will work out? Maybe it won’t? At least there will be less blood.

GET AS FAR AWAY FROM YOUR TOXIC LOVE INTEREST AS POSSIBLE

No, seriously, using your fucking braincells will save lives, including your own, especially your own

[there’s probably more I could include, but you get the idea]

FMK goth Verdi basses edition: King Philip, Fiesco and Silva

Hmm, interesting selection

F: King Philip

M: Fiesco, because he’s actually kind of lovely, unlike our other two basses here

K: Silva, because he wants to marry his niece, and that’s gross. Also, the whole being responsible for Ernani’s death thing...

'One Hundred Portraits of Peking Opera Characters', Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) ”In the opera boom of the late nineteenth century, albums were turned to a new purpose: documenting the variety and vibrancy of stage culture in all its multicolored splendor. This album records in detail the makeup and costume of one hundred characters drawn from nine plays.” Source
