#der graf von monte cristo

[paranoidpegasus]

this is a redraw of this piece from about a year ago, I really liked that piece back then and I still like it now. Definitely don’t redraw old art you’re still proud of, because the bar is so high! I was so nervous about not making the new one any better and it made me spend like all day doing this one. I even asked a bunch of friends about it and made revisions and all that.

it’s Le Comte from my favorite book ever, The Count of Monte Cristo!

[lonely-dog-draws]

some redraws of characters from the musical Der Graf von Monte Christo as cats- featuring Edmond, Faria, Fernand, Danglars, Villefort, & Jacopo.

4 greyscale drawings of anthro cats. The first is of two cats sitting on the floor holding onto each other. The tallest one is pale with large ears & tabby markings & wears loose, ragged clothes. His eyes are focused on the middle distance with a pleading look. He has his arms around a smaller cat, who has a round face with tuxedo markings, & white hands. This cat wears a long, dark robe. He looks dazed, staring off to the side with his mouth open slightly. He holds onto the other cat's arm with one hand, & has his other hand on the ground. The second drawing is of two cats conversing, cut off at their knees. The left cat is a furry dark tabby cat wearing fancy clothes, including a coat with coattails & a bowtie. He's holding onto a small cup & looking at the other cat with his eyes squinted slightly & his mouth pursed. The other cat is very fluffy & grey, wearing a rumpled shirt tucked into his pants & a loose coat. He's holding up a cup of his own in a cheering motion. He has his head tilted as if asking a question, with his smiling mouth open mid-speaking & his eyebrow quirked up. The third drawing is of a sleek black cat with a long face & big ears. He wears a coat with a large collar, high-waisted pants, knee-high socks and dark shoes. He's leaning against a wall with one hand, & gripping a small piece of paper with the other. His head is down and he looks distressed. The fourth & final drawing is of a round calico cat with a mostly white face & a torn ear, facing the viewer. He wears a long, sleek, dark coat with buttons on the chest, with dark pants & shoes. He looks towards the side with an open smile. In one hand he holds a large staff, & the other hand is held out in a flourish. End descriptions.

CAN WE TALK ABOUT THESE TWO PLZ????

[timelxrd-victorious]

If nobody has made a TenRose vid set to "I Will Be There" / "Niemals allein" from Der Graf von Monte Cristo, I am going to be very disappointed.

*cracks knuckles* Might have to make it myself.

I love the fact that you have this master playlist of European musicals on YouTube. Could you possibly make a separate playlist of all the European musicals which specifically include English subtitles?

That's a good idea! I originally would put all English subtitled videos to the top of the playlist, but now the playlist is so long it takes forever to move videos up there and sometimes Youtube just glitches out half way through me trying to scroll up and ah.

So, yes I can, and I have now.

european musicals: so you want to get into non-english language musicals | euro musicals, asian musicals: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLBkeZOvj5B8bSgfsMiGBnF_OnmqTbDdW

european musicals (ENG SUBS ONLY): so you want to get into non-english language musicals | euro musicals, asian musicals: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLBkeZOvj5B9Bpc4XYhZhPEEPpSkWKgQd

Note: These are only the videos that are on Youtube. There are some videos that have been taken down off Youtube/channels deleted/videos blocked in certain countries. I constantly save videos from Youtube and if a Proshot with subtitles gets taken down, I reupload them to archive.org where Youtube can't touch them. So far I have two on here (Mozart das Musical 2015 in HD 720p and the Mozart L'Opéra Rock 2011 3D) and I am in the process of uploading Les Dix Commandements as it just got blocked on Youtube: https://archive.org/details/@wennli3b3 You can stream and download the videos from there. (If you don't want to scroll through all the Musical CD audios I have posted there that you can stream and download, you can filter by 'movies' in the side panel).

Monte Christo cats part 2 ✌ (The first drawing is a scene from this Russian production!)

Image descriptions: 5 greyscale drawings of anthro cats. The first is a drawing of two cats dancing in profile, with the view cut off at their knees. The left cat is a short, round black cat wearing a sleeveless dress, long velvet gloves, & tassel earrings. She's singing with a somber expression, and reaching out to touch the other cat's face. The other cat is sleek with a long snout & pale tabby markings. He's wearing a black leather coat & leather gloves. He's looking down at the other cat- his expression is almost angry, but he's smiling. He's holding up one of the other cat's hands. The second drawing is of a fluffy dark tabby cat walking towards the viewer. In one hand he holds a rapier. He's wearing thick gloves, a grey vest, a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up, white pants, & dark shoes. His tail is fluffed up & he's looking to the side angrily, baring his teeth in a strained smile. The third drawing is of a grey cat wearing a simple dress. She's standing, leaning forward slightly, with one hand clenched in a fist by her heart & the other holding onto her skirt. She's singing with her eyes closed. The fourth drawing is a bust of a round tabby cat with a pale snout. He's wearing a white shirt, waistcoat, & a loose bow tie. He's cringing with his teeth bared & eyes shut tight. The fifth and final drawing is a bust of the fluffy tabby from earlier. He's facing the right with his right arm extended in front of him- his hand is out of frame. He snarls angrily, "you've started this game, & I'm going to end it!" End descriptions.

ICH BRING EUCH DIE HÖLLE AUF ERDEN

[kaiserin-erzsebet]

Something that has been useful to me in learning a language is music. Musical theatre is a very special kind of helpful because it combines story with music, so they are more engaging.

There are two musicals I have been listening to the soundtracks for in the last month and luckily they are both available on YouTube. I thought I would share them so they can be helpful for other people. Be warned though, the English subtitles are not perfect on either of them and should be used for general meaning, not precise translations.

The video above is Dracula. The ones below are Der Graf von Monte Cristo. They are both excellent. (and I must admit I am a sucker for Thomas Borchert’s voice)

[acquagalaxies]

Happy 10th anniversary!!

The same day of exactly ten years ago, on march 14th 2009, the Theatre St.Gallen (Switzerland) hosted the world premiere (in german language) of “The Count of Monte Cristo” (within the title of «Der Graf von Monte-Christo»), musical adaptation of Alexandre Dumas père’s novel of the same name. From classic french literature to the theatrical stages, written by the composer Frank Wildhorn with lyrics and libretto by Jack Murphy.

Congratulations to all the creative team that was behind this production (with the great direction of Andreas Gergen, Simon Eichenberger as dance captain, Susanne Hubrich’s gorgeous costume designs and the fight director Jochen Schmidtke), its authors and the marvellous cast of talented actors and voices, for reaching this goal. I wish you all and for your careers the best life could offer, as the happiest and fulfilling moments.

For whoever desires to watch the original first performance, here is available the german musical provided of english subtitles. enjoy!

I want to use this corner to wholly and properly thank the entire cast members, for how passion they bring along their characters on stage, with amazing acting and strong vibrant voices. in order:

• Thomas Borchert in the main role starring as Edmond Dantès/the count of Monte Cristo. His talent rendered well the man’s journey from a simple naïve young sailor to a merciless messenger of revenge, for after coming back once again and reunite to his old self, to be free, not just “physically” (from the condition of imprisonment of the Castle d’If), now even “heartly” and soul-ly, from the obsession and destruction that the slavery of vengeance thoughts was devouring him to the core. • Sophie Berner in the role of Mercédès Herrera, the sunshine beautiful fiancée of Edmond and afterwards the bride of Mondego. For all the grace yet strength in endure all the pain and sorrow for all those years, the protection and affection of a loving mother towards her child, ready to relinquish and suffer anything for him, to be finally rewarded with happiness at the end. • Carsten Lepper, Christoph Goetten and Karim Khawatmi (in the next picture) as Fernand Mondego (love rival for Mercédès’ heart), Gérard de Villefort (chief prosecutor of Paris, keeper of connections towards Napoleon Bonaparte – at that piece of History foe of the French’s royal family and King Louis, so every supporter would be punished for treason against the crown – due to his father’s politic ideals, he will find himself in a tough decision that tests his intentions of true justice, between to not struck down an innocent’s life ‘cause of a dangerous letter Edmond owns from his dying captain and was ready to send – despite unaware of its content, that involves Villefort’s family and can potentially ruin them under the society’s eyes, or sacrifice to not lose everything he built up until that moment and maintain the secret, safe and untold) and Danglars (Pharaon’s bookkeeper and later Paris’ influential banker), the plotting trio against Dantès and the Count’s enemies.

• Dean Welterien as Abbé Faria, old priest prisoner at the Chateau d’If, Edmond’s mentor and guide through the period of prison and loneliness. The most reasonable also morally righteous character of the entire story and you can’t beat that. • Kurt Schrepter as Jacopo, former pirate and the Count’s faithful right arm, his most trusted and closest friend after Edmond’s new freedom and escape, selfless and helpful, for his own initiative he decided to follow the former prisoner, after their knife duel on Vampa’s ship, and help him with his plan. • Daniel Berini as Albèrt Mondego, young and kind man of Parisian noble class, son of Mercédès and Fernand. He will come across the Count’s path in Rome, during the colorful Italian Carnival, for an unexpected encounter, unaware if for fate’s decision or for human’s hand and work.

• Barbara Obermeier in the role of Valentine de Villefort, daughter of the chief prosecutor and betrothed to Albèrt. Through her actions, moved by true feelings and determination, she’ll remembrance to the Count the innocence and pureness of young love, awakening old memories of so long ago in his cold and hardened heart from hatred and thirst for revenge, leading the man to spare the boy’s life in real compassion and mercy, making him finding once more the – thought lost – kindness of these gentle sensations. • Ava Brennan as the brave and kick-ass Luisa Vampa, leader of a crew of Italian bandits and pirates that sail the seas. Strong and independent woman with her harem of lesbian piratesses, deal with the fact she’s the boss and ready to fight you just for fun’s sake. • André Bauer as Monsieur Morrel, owner of the Pharaon, the commercial ship in which Edmond worked in before his arrest, when near to be the ship’s new captain. • Suzanne Carey, part of the magnificent and wonderful ensemble, she performed in multiple minor roles during the entire performance, first as one of the unnamed guests in Edmond and Mercédès’ betrothal feast and after in the opulent ball organized by the Count in his new rich mansion, for his entrance in the Paris’ society, as an upper-class lady, wife of Villefort and mother of Valentine.

• Ines Hengl-Pirker [13], part too of the talented ensemble, she performed as Madame Danglars in the ball scene and, as well as Suzanne, a member of Vampa’s crew, as a proud piratesse. • Mathias Förster [15], highlighted the role of the dying former captain of the Pharaon, Leclère, and the caring old Louis Dantès, father of Edmond. ps. just for personal satisfaction fan content, here I leave a glorious picture of Luisa kick-asses Vampa, in her smoothest expression of amusement.

plus bonus cute happy edmond and mercédès during their betrothal party, providing of lovely flower crowns by Fernand (the karmic irony, isn’t it? also,  why u re such asshole in this adaptation what happened to you where is lost the mondego of the book in love for his wife unthinkable of betraying her with others and caring with his son and proud of him??? explain wildhorn)

Do you have a list of all the specifically German musicals bootlegs/proshots with English subtitles?

I do not, but I can make one right now! (And I assume by German you mean German-language and not Germany, so this includes musicals performed in Germany, Austria and Switzerland).

There's multiple versions for some musicals and if you want my personal correction of which to watch, based on the quality of the video, accuracy of the subtitles, and overall cast and design, I've put a 💙 emoji next to them.

[thegreenerartist]

Random hc’s I have for aftg?

Allison and Seth have a mutual forever break up but they maintain a best friend, brother and sister relationship

Renison <333

The Foxes all pick up mannerisms from one another (like Dan doing a two-fingered salute or Andrew tucking his hair behind his ear when it gets longer or when Renee,,, ok you get the point)

Kevin and Jean talk through their problems with one another. Kevin and Andrew talk through their problems with one another.

MINYARD-JOSTEN RIVALRY FICS ARE MY LIFE LINE (as well as time travel fix its and Raven! Neil’s) IF YOU MAKE THEM PLS HMU!

Andrew listens to my favorite bands/singers (yes I hc him liking Autoheart, Ricky Montgomery and MARINA what about it)

They are the embodiment of the “the LGBT friendship circle doesn’t kick out the cishets. The cishets just realize they aren’t cishet”

Neil wears dresses and Renee wears suits to the banquets. But plot twist, Neil still looks badass and he verbally eviscerates anyone who comments (no more soft sub gnc Neil on my dash). And Renee? Still very beautiful! She will cut you and you’d thank her. She’s still the same Renee, just not in a dress :) (no more compromising character’s personality based on their clothing! We’re in 2020 <3)

Matt makes the most kickass pancakes. Idk where that came from but he seems like he would be amazing at making pancakes (Nicky begs to differ after all the practice he had making pancakes for the twinyards)

On the topic of Matt and Nicky, THEY’RE BFFS NO YOU CANNOT CHANGE MY MIND

Everyone tried getting every Fox couple to sing this

Kareoke-style

Needless to say, it started as a competition, as a bet, and ended with money passed around, multiple broken bottles and a drunk mini fight

Dan and Andrew became reluctant buddies after their shared frustration with the newest striker and their love of books <333

One amazing skit that happened was Andrew and Dan thinking Neil and Matt were cheating on them,,, with each other (since they always disappeared together) but Neil and Matt were sneaking off together to see if Andrew and Dan were cheating on them,,,, with each other

Neil: “I thought you were gay, Drew’,,,” Andrew: “and I thought you were demi,,,”

Andrew: “Go and run off with Boyd. Wilds and I have decided we don’t need anymore men in our lives. Our books are enough to satisfy the holes in our hearts”

Matt: “Dan wait, I can explain-“

Dan: “No Matt,,, we can’t go on like this.”

*cue dramatic crying*
