i am curious about your hysterical job application also....q
OK SO
I am applying for employment (need wages. Yall get it) and i prefer working in government programs bc they pay better and dont give a fuck about customer service (i am very strange and offputting). So im on governmentjobs dot com, where the local city and county put all their jobs and im applying for whatever im qualified for.
Theres a paid internship (SCORE) its for child welfare (BUMMER) however due to Life Experiences and also Symptoms i am an extreme hardcore advocate for childs rights and child safety. And hey, itll pay and theyre not asking for a drivers license so i email resume and i do NOT write a cover letter bc they should know upfront about my negative rizz factor.
Get a phone interview. Baller, im out of town (college out of country). Feels like a pretty standard interview. I speak fluent spanish so they want me soooooooo bad. Also they ask me why i want to work in child welfare (my stepmom used to work there she says its the most hellish and depressing job shes ever had) and. Like the interview flop that i am. I answered honestly.
Because the thing is that I have a profound distrust of all parents. Like an amount that routinely disrupts my social life. Its not reasonable or rational and I Know That. Nevertheless i am a strong hardcore believer in not just the value but the moral goodness of lying to your parents, and i am deeply aware that there isnt a situation in the world that involving your parents can't make worse. i work hard to dispel my rabid anti-family bias but on the other hand I Was Raised By A Parent Who Made Some Choices. So its a work in progress.
Anyways about a week later i get a response email. Now i know that jobs get many applications and they probably just picked someone with like more experience or a degree or some other completely normal reason. However im here to be funny so i choose to be deliberately obtuse
Anyways thats how i got denied a job in child welfare

every day i think about how they changed the le bien qui fait mal and l'assasinphonie choreography so salieri wasn't dancing close with sexy half naked men. do we know why. i have tried and failed to pinpoint an exact time. i feel like im going insane. they no homoed a dance
anon.. i think about that daily too... im so happy someone else loves the original choreos like i do 😭 it took me a while to reply cuz i was on a mission to answer ur questions as best as i could. so... finally... here is what i found out:
first of all if u wanna read my rant about the changes, in general, here are the posts about le bien qui fait mal and l'assasymphonie
second of all "do we know why" is a good question. meaning i dont have an answer dlkjaskl i just now started to learn french so if they ever talked about it in a video, or something... i missed it. so right away im telling u that i can only offer my guesses.
///
starting with LE BIEN QUI FAIT MAL, as i said in that post i linked, i tried to figure out whether they only degayed it for the 2011 proshot or not and i found out that no, the changes were also present in live performances.
then an anon told me massimiliano (the dancer who manhandles salieri) couldnt be at the 2011 proshot recording. i checked the video and he really wasnt there at all, but that still doesnt fully explain things, bc as u will see from my extensive, very professional research, unlike in the 2011 proshot, in live 2011 shows massimiliano was there, performing, in other parts of the musical. just not during lbqfm. i know he is an irreplaceable icon, so much that i couldnt find a single video where he wasnt the one manhandling salieri (even tho other dancers, from other parts of the choreo, kept switching), but to me its now clear that that was not the case. they really just decided to change the choreo.
so now lets see how it all progressed
for that its helpful to know the dates of mor performances. based on that i was insane enough to watch as many videos as i could to try to pinpoint when the choreo changed. except it wasnt that simple. i quickly found out that a loootttttt of other changes happened before that major one, before massimiliano left. so here it is
THE LBQFM CHOREO CHANGES I NOTICED
03.01.2010 last PDS performance, still the original
6, 26 february 2010 original
11 march 2010 original (massimiliano's skirt fell off 😭)
20 march 2010 original
8 may 2010 original
9 may 2010 not so much the original anymore. this is the first change i've noticed. @1:28 originally its a male dancer who bends back salieri and then there are 2 men and 2 women who .. idk how to describe it, but do that push and pull motion. here one of the guys is not there
(10, 11, 12 no performances)
13, 15, 16 may 2010 now the other guy is gone too, only women left (but the dancer is not really gone. im pretty sure hes there, doing another thing next to them)
(cannot find a video from the 17th, that was the last performance in lyon)
performances at zenith de saint etienne begin at the 21st but i couldnt find a video from it
22 may 2010 original again (sidenote salieri is really unhinged here)
27 may 2010 change. female dancer who's usually interacting with salieri during the first verses isnt there, just massimiliano. not sure if its the same woman who calls him during the bridge and moves him thru the dancers but anyways shes also not there, he walks around alone. so when the Climax happens, again, only massimiliano is there grabbing him
31 may 2010 and 6, 10, 13 and 19 june 2010 another change. the female dancer is back, but during "j'adore l'avoir dans la peau" usually there are two dancers next to him mimicking playing a harp with their bodies but not this time
now the dates that matter the most i cant find a single videeooo 🤡 which are the performances in limoges (25, 26 and 27 june 2010) so all i can say is that
3 july 2010 is the first time i could find that massimiliano wasnt there. aka the degayed choreo. but i cant say if it is the first. also the original choreo for the "j'adore..." part is back again. thats the only performance they did in nancy and its also the last tour performance from 2010. a bunch of people were at the curtain call, even albert cohen was there, so its very weird that massimiliano was absent. im so mad i couldnt find those videos from late june bc all i got is just one video of him not being there, which makes me think he just couldnt be there so they had to change the choreo
9 november 2010 they are back in PDS and its the original again (also this is just for me but he still has the original cravat here. im trying to kill two birds with one stone)
2 december 2010 original (salieris beautiful cravat is gone 😔but this is one of my fave videos)
5, 11 december 2010 still the original
12 december 2010 changes again 😭 "j'adore..." harp dancers are gone again
14 december 2010 they are back <3 (funny video bc mikelangelo forgets to give florent the score)
18 december 2010 NOW HERE ITS WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING. a little change. massimiliano is there at the beginning, he drags salieri around but then hes gone before the first verse starts! and he doesnt come back !!! harp dancers are still there tho lmao
19 december 2010 massimiliano is fully gone 🎻 yamin even replaced him during la mascarade, like it happens in the 2011 proshot. i think since this date this change became the standard for a while, before they went back to the original. in the meantime, im guessing its when they shot the 2011 proshot
26 december 2010 still just the female dancer
4, 8 january 2011 still just the female dancer
9 january 2011 still just the female dancer but because it was the last performance in paris, before going on tour again, she has a whip for funsies. also they added, at the end, 2 female dancers sorta removing and quickly putting back salieris coat
28 january 2011 first tour performance, still just the female dancers. and i was not paying attention to this before, but i noticed for the first time in this video the 2 women dancing together, like they show for 2 seconds in the 2011 proshot. lesbian rights <3 i dont think it was part of the original choreo? its hard to tell exactly when they added that bc people usually record salieri, not the dancers, and hes not next to them when it happens (its before the bridge)
4, 5, 6 february 2011 still just the female dancer. but unlike before, this time (but idk exactly when it began) massimiliano was there for other parts of the show; yamin and other people didnt replace him (on the 4th: im pretty sure hes present in l'assasymphonie) (on the 5th: hes in la mascarade, le trublion, etc)
so. they really just changed it. massimiliano not being able to perform wasnt the case. we have to accept that they made a mistake <333 ldkajslk
19, 20, 27 february 2011 the original is back
19, also 19, 20, 23, 26 march 2011 it changed a little again but massimiliano is still there. no one bends salieri back and just one guy and one woman do the push and pull motion. also i think around here they removed the two women dancing together? maybe i just cant see it
20 mai 2011 original back once again
01 april 2011 .................... clearly an aprils fools joke bc massimiliano is gone again. i randomly picked this date cuz i knew it would be cursed dlkjaslk.. also again salieri doesnt get bent back and just 2 dancers do the push and pull... u knOW IT !!! WE GET IT !!!!! ok but i love him dramatically sighing and falling on the floor at @2:58 hes doing the most to make up for the flavour that got lost
03.06.2011 original again
12.06.2011 just massimiliano, no female dancer. im obsessseedddd with this video fully bc of the things massimiliano does!! obsessed with his evil smile @0:48, obsessed with salieri forgetting to throw the score on the floor, so massimiliano grabs it from his hand and forces him to kneel and stand up again. can u tell im a massimilianator and the choreo without him has no chance to please me?
17.06.2011 back to the original again
now im gonna skip to the very last performance from this production bc im honestly tired lkdajskl
10 july 2011 its the original thank god
TL;DR: 19 december 2010 is when the degayed choreo became the standard for a bit and on 19 february 2011 the original returns.
im confident that watching all those videos in a short period of time gave me brain damage but .. anything for science <3
ANYWAYS i started to do this to figure out why they changed It only to realise they changed A Lot of other things throughout performances (some things i didnt even mention, like the dance the woman does next to salieri during the first verse changes a lot) and they kept going back and forth to the original choreo. i think i can safely say not a single part (involving salieri) remained the same throughout the whole thing (not even the bending him back part was always there. i could swear it would be but!! no!). my guess is maybe because a certain dancer took a break or maybe they just wanted to do something different
in conclusion i figured out the exact dates but i cant tell u why massimiliano wasnt part of lbqfm for a while. i couldnt even find people talking about it on forums but, again, maybe bc im not fluent in french. to me it was a big loss, the whole thing loses its spice, i obviously prefer the original by miles. no idea why they simply didnt chose someone to replace him bc the other dancers changed all the time.
maybe it was in florents contract that only massimiliano was allowed to manhandle him <3 dlkjaslk im half kidding bc who knows? maybe it was a legal thing, maybe massimiliano invented this part of the choreo and only He could do it 😭 but honestly. my real final guess is that they simply wanted to change things to make it New and Fresh. as we saw, massimiliano leaving wasnt the only lbqfm choreo change.
///
moving on to L'ASSASYMPHONIE thank god bc it will be a lot easier to pinpoint when they changed the choreo. i believe they changed it and never went back to the original </3 god knows why </333 so when i find the new one ill stop looking
03.01.2010 last performance from "season one", at PDS (before going on tour) and also the last time they used the original choreo bUT ! THERES A BONUS! MORE MEN !!! LKDJALKS they said we will degay it later but u can have more naked men as a goodbye gift <3 really caught me by surprise, its the first time i watched it. but u wanna know whats really weird? this blurry shaky video is the only one i can find?! i even had to scroll a lot on youtube to get to it... conspiracy theory dove is trying to hide the original choreo. but honestly it makes no sense bc it was a Special day..... i cant find it anywhereee not even outside youtube... this is a hate crime. this is offensive. this is the heresy salieri sings about in the song.
the only thing i found was another performance from the same day but i think its the morning or afternoon performance and not the very last one. its for sure different than the one i linked first. i dont think there are 100 men onstage but at least we can see he had black nails 🥰 anyways... if anyone knows a better shot video of the very last performance... let me know... im really upsetklfdjalsjdal I FEEL SOOOO ROBBED...
and im even more mad now, remembering that from now on we get this new choreo. it began on their first tour
04.02.2010 2010 tour begins, first time we see the new choreo
and i have absolutely no idea why they changed it. again, i never saw an explanation and i dont have a single guess. i cannot imagine why they thought the new one was better. if i have to say one nice thing about it is that i like the background, the moving curtain that kinda looks like flames. they should absolutely drop the stupid flashing lights and just leave that background for the Cool effect and bRING BACK..... THE HALF NAKED BLINDFOLDED MEN (HNBM) ...........  THEY CAN REPRESENT SO MUCCHHHHHH... I LOVE THEM....
thats all i got to say otherwise ill start repeating myself.. if u wanna read more about my opinions on the hnbm and why i prefer the original l'assasymphonie choreo its all in the second link of this post..
anyways big thanks to anyone who read this, hope u enjoy all those videos. even with the dagayed choreos, florent and the dancers always deliver amazing performances. so, regardless, its a good time to watch them. lastly if anything is wrong, if i put down the wrong date or something, my bad, but it was .. a lot.. to go through, so if anyone sees a mistake let me know !

I dont really talk but, let’s talk about college, entrance exams, denial and responsibilities
Tumblr media
So I recently applied for college and thankfully got accepted, the exams gave me a three day coma and on top of that I moved from one country to another bringing with me schoolworks that I needed to handle on air, land, sea and on family outings that drained me so much.
But anyway, I took the exam and waited for the results. It came out and I was points away from the required score.
I was on a status that required me to prove myself, but hold up. Mind you, we are new to our surroundings and our relatives didnt even had the slightest clue on what the hell we were supposed to do.
It was stressful enough and I had this heavy feeling in my chest that, shit I failed myself and my plans. They didnt accept anymore students who had the same case as I have and that I shouldve been earlier.
This is a situation to blame ourselves, but the fact that I sent out emails that inquired some sort of ‘consideration’, way back before the new year and when I wasnt in the country where the school is. Way back even when the school was remotely busy to accept newcomers.
Facebook, google mail, yahoo mail.
No reply.
Four messages about what could be done about me being a late comer, because Im outside of the country and one urgent email about the date that is available and when I would arrive to the email they presented on the website.
No reply.
I later find out that those emails werent even updated, so I sent my concern to those emails too, and their contact number was probably not even working.
Relatives were busy at their own lives that we could forgive, they had rough too or maybe they just did things not the way we wanted it to be. But it was for the better if it were to familliarize me and ask and shed blood, sweat, and tears to make it all worth it.
Went to the school and their clerks would say ‘sorry we dont know, please proceed to the department instead’, we then go there and find out that the department is always deserted and the faculties werent really open to visitors. People werent there or maybe we just had bad timing.
We went for another time, this time earlier and fresh for the day. Im particularly nervous and I thought my exhaustion would finally be replaced by joy, but then;
'Please come back on xxx-xxx, were busy’
No information and details and to what it was online, no warning or notice put on their website. Not even the clerk knew of it or even warned us days before and surely not just minutes ago after asking about what we could do for my case.
I was beyond frustrated and just out of motivation, we asked what we could out of the clerk. But it always lead to a 'we dont know’, I begged my mother whom was with me most of the time since she knew the place better than I did, I begged her to inquire more and arrange things (I wasnt fluent in the language of the place we were in, but I could understand them)
Alas, we were always left confused and unsatisfied and my mother was catching cold and allergies from commuting and the processes we had to go through. For myself, I was fighting adjustment, knowing as much as I can about the school and its standard, and I was juggling the responsibilities I left. A thesis and multiple other exams.
Tumblr media
I couldnt sleep, but definitely woke up to the email that I was up for an interview and was going to be considered. I thought I could take the challenge, I need to prove myself.
But then, the date of the supposed arrangement was wrong for me to be qualified.
Thats when I thought, maybe I should start worrying.
We waited for two twenty four hours for a reply from an email I sent, for a clearer arrangement (we couldve gone but it was later revealed that the day I sent the email and the day after that they werent available, they didnt put not a single notice online about this)
And I was right, I was going to enroll and the person who was absolutely so nice and kind broke the news to us that I wasnt no longer going to be considered.
Tumblr media
It hurts, it weighed down what I felt much more. The rush we went through to move out of where I was born to catch the entrance exams, our responsibilities that were left but had to resolve while travelling. The schoolworks I had to do because my classmates trusted me and my teachers were proud of. I needed to study while I had jetlag, while I chucked jackets in my bag, while I did an essay, and wake up at five to work harder because I had to leave early.
It was so disheartening, I wasnt able to study well because of the pressure of catching the right date to leave. And also because my parents couldnt afford residency there anymore, we needed to exit and throw our things in boxes and whatever we could.
The feeling of being a failure and not smart enough to know these things in order for me to be still considered. The chances and the promise of good education, it was so painful.
All because no reply came back to me.
