For those not in the know: he's a shy farmer (with a dark secret)! Reblogs would be appreciated, I'd like a larger sample size :)

Although Robin Oakapple’s first appearance presents him as a village farmer (albeit one with the manners of a Marquis, which is *totally not* foreshadowing his being a disguised nobleman), he very quickly is addressed as a Baronet twice, by both Old Adam and Richard Dauntless.

Now, of course, from a theatrical perspective this is necessary, because the *audience* needs to know Robin’s secret. But within the universe of the show, this raises the question: if Old Adam has been going around for ten years referring to Robin as Ruthven whenever he thinks no one is listening (and you can’t tell me this is the first time he’s done it) how many of the townspeople have figured it out by now? Rose Maybud obviously doesn’t know, and Dame Hannah probably doesn’t suspect it either, but it would definitely be funny when Despard storms the wedding in the Act 1 Finale and half the chorus is Obviously Pretending to be surprised.

Painted emblems of a race - a Ruddigore / Unsleeping City Iga Lisowski animatic

I did it - I made an even more obscure crossover than the last one! Based on the scene with Iga's foremothers in S2E8, "Feasts & Families", in which Iga experiences what I like to call a "Ruvthen in Act 2 of Ruddigore" moment. So here is Act 2 of Ruddigore, where the protaganist meets the ghosts of their ancestors who have come out of their portrait frames, to tell the protaganist that they must perpetuate the evil that their line has caused for hundreds of years, lest even worse things happen (which they turn out to be completely wrong about).

Description and sources under the cut:

Video description: drawings of Iga and her ancestors in the chest castle, depicting each lyric.

Painted emblems of a race, All accurst in days of yore, Each from his accustomed place Steps into the world once more. Coward, poltroon, shaker, squeamer, Blockhead, sluggard, dullard, dreamer, Earthworm, maggot, tadpole, weevil! Set upon thy course of evil, Lest the King of Spectre-Land Set on thee his grisly hand! Beware! beware! beware! Alas, poor ghost! Painted emblems of a race, All accurst in days of yore, Each to his accustomed place Steps unwillingly once more!

Audio from "Painted emblems of a race" and "He yields, he answers to our call" from Ruddigore by W.S Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan.

A John Reed inspired Robin Oakapple. I referenced these photos: (click) (click)

This guy has a very specific face and it complements all his vocal mannerisms quite well, really fun to draw.
