charlie cale pokerface is so aligned with my vision of figaro operacharacter it’s almost a little scary which leads me to the point i’m making here which is that natasha lyonne would fucking rule at playing figaro. YOU MAY DISAGREE BUT NOT CORRECTLY

your brother is basically a classic person to kill

[leporellian]

In the opera La Forza del Destino , various characters argue, fall in love, get married in secret, run away to monasteries, go to war, announce that they will get revenge, engage in duels, and drop a gun on the floor, where it goes off accidentally and kills someone in an incident eerily similar to one that happens in chapter nine of this very book, and all the while they are trying to figure out if any of these troubles are the result of destiny. They wonder and wonder at all the perils in their lives, and when the final curtain is brought down even the audience cannot be sure what all these unfortunate events may mean.

new untitled western guy! first one without a direct counterpart (or counterparts) in the source material also, although his name is sort of a dark inside joke for Those Who Know A Bit About That Source Material's Production History.

leonard 'lenny' warren is an administrative assistant at the calatrava rail company who works under carlos vargas. he was put in charge of such a task because he was the only one gullible enough to do it and too shy to question the position. nobody else particularly wanted to work with carlos, both for being the head of the company's biracial illegitimate son and because carlos is emotionally volatile at the best of times. but lenny and carlos have a good thing going on because between carlos's passion for life ad lenny's meekness they balance each other out... sort of well.

i say 'sort of' because while lenny cares about carlos he doesn't seem to see him as his own adult person, often infantilizing him, leaving him out of decisions, and talking down to him. he doesn't mean to necessarily, it's not a malice thing, but lenny is just so... white. when bad things happen instead of letting carlos make his own decisions (out of fear those decisions will be poorly thought through) lenny tends to ply carlos with alcohol and hope it blows over long enough for someone else to address it.

surely this will lead to nothing going wrong, ever.

I enjoy a joke about fucked up German fairy tales as much as the next nerd, but it's genuinely striking how often the source for the really fucked up stuff turns out to be "yeah, this is only in the Brothers Grimm version and doesn't appear in any extant oral tradition, and we're like 80% sure they added it themselves". To a large extent it's not German fairy tales that are fucked up, it's two specific German dudes.
