I will never get over this musical

[abacus-and-paper-money]

I'm so glad my little poll found the right people! the "Whaaaaaaaaaat?" Is also an excellent moment I was thinking of making another poll just for that and "there's ruin at the door!" and pierre's "be quiet." among other things. this musical is living rent free in my brain again I forgot just how good it is

YEEEEAAAAHH thats another great marya line, and pierres "be quiet" slays so hard. honestly the entirety of Pierre & Anatole is awesome. but i so love "AND I SHAKE YOU FROM SIDE TO SIDE- UNTIL YOUR FACE SHOWS A SUFFICENT DEGREE OF TERROR" its so funny to me. one of my favorite things abt great comet is how they describe whats going on like theyre fucking roleplaying out loud i love it. ALSO-- "and i dont know what deprives me of the pleasure of SMASHING your head in with this" AAAAAAAAAAA YEAH GET HIS ASS jksdfhjksdhf some more of my favorites i didnt feel like putting in the tags on the poll were,, - marya's "SSSUUUUUNDAY MORNING, TIME FOR CHURCH!" - pierre's "does the aiiiiir REEK with smoke?" and then same song when hes rambling abt napoleon the way he says "ive" is so. silly to me. his entire rant in Letters is so fun. - sorta a cool vocal thing? more how quickly she says it but natasha's "oooh what am i to write how do i choose what do i do i shall never be happy again" is fun. - letters again. anatole's "a luuuuuuhve letter" asdhjd ty so much for this ask btw :sob: i love great comet sm but none of my friends are big into it n i feel silly rambling at them. also bcus its playing out rn, the line "..and if you requiiire money for your journeyy..." - "oh vile and heartless brood.." so fun. too much fun. ANYUWAY thank youuu :))

My dealer: got some straight gas 🔥😛 this strain is called “the great comet of 1812” 😳 you’ll be zonked out of your gourd 💯

Me: yeah whatever. I don’t feel shit.

5 minutes later: dude I swear I just saw hélène bezukhova making out with marya dmitryevna

My buddy Anatole walking with his uniform unbuttoned walking to and fro to and fro to and fro to and fro to and fro to and fro to and fro:

I'm sorry but it is so fucking funny to me that Dolokhov is introduced as "a crazy good shot" and then he states that a duel with Pierre is "child's play" and yet HE gets shot and then misses Pierre when they're only like 6ft apart 🤣

He's supposed to be all cool and shit cause he's Dolokhov the Assasin, but he literally couldn't kill a guy who *wants* to die. Like, my dude Pierre is a suicidal alcoholic and somehow he hit Dolokhov and came out unscathed?!?!

This show is so insane I love it

#prev tags. you understand me.

uh... hello good evening everyone, welcome to the mckittrick hotel! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼yes. 👏🏼👏🏼uh.👏🏼 IT APPEARs as though we're actually about to start the show! SO if you could take a moment to turn off your celllll phones, and actually put them in such a condition that they do not:

make sound

vibrate

or emanate light

ANY ONE OF THESE three things could be a disaster for ALL involved, so make sure that they are comPLETEly OFFFF.

uh! in the event of an emergency, you can simply make your escape out the same door you came in :)

VOTE NAT!!!

Nastasia Wardynska (in the grey coat on the picture):

Buckle up, this girl is the best. She's russian and her parents were killed during Staline's purges. She was raised in an orphanaged, brainwashed, and all. But when she was an adult, a british guy (the eponymous Blake) reached out to her, told her the truth about her parents' death, and offered to help her out of USSR. SHE REFUSED! Not because she was brainwashed, but because she offered, instead, to use her position as a lab assistant to SPY ON THE TOP SECRET MILITARY PROJECTS to the profit of the west. She is captured, tortured, shot, captured AGAIN, she doesn't betray anyone. Finally, she's exchanged on the famous bridge where they exchanged spies, against the MAIN VILLAIN OF THE STORY who was captured by the british. And she gets to work at the NASA. After saving the lives of a lot of people, preventing a nuclear war (technically a fourth world war. this world's timeline is a bit chaotic)... And then, rare thing in a Blake and Mortimer, she gets an important role in ANOTHER album! In which she confronts the guy who tortured her!

Natasha Rostova:

I love her.

PIERRE MY BELOVED

Bezukhov:

he is so sad. conceptually. his wife left him. his best friend (obviously with gay tension) is off at war for a lot of the book and hates everyone. the zest of life has vanished only the skeleton remains etc etc BUT ALSO he does so much stuff actually. becomes a freemason for a bit, including a weird ritual that i don't remember very clearly atm. it was weird. shoots a guy despite not knowing how to use a gun. does a bunch of weird maths and comes to the conclusion that he has to assassinate napoleon bonaparte. becomes a prisoner of war for some reason. and then, and only then, does he get married again. king.
