Any good resources you can recommend to learn more about the inspiration for you musical?

Yes! Here's a list to get you started- each title will link to a place to read or buy the thing!

The Clairmont Correspondence

These are a collection of Claire Clairmont's letters. I wanted to be true to her voice, as she is often the most muted in many adaptations of the story- and it is really her story, more than anyone else's.

The Letters and Journals of Lord Byron

Some Unpublished Letters of Mary Shelley

The Life and Letters of Mary Shelley

The Correspondence between Byron and Percy and Mary Shelley

Though Claire's letters were the most important to me, I also gathered a lot of character info, dialogue inspo, and plot points from the letters of Byron, Mary, and Percy. There's some overlap in these, but it's still worth it to read everything.

The Diary of John Polidori

John is a very insular character, and most of his presentation in the musical is self-reflection. So, I had to read his thoughts. And boy, the guy was depressed AF.

Then, there are the various stories told within the show... get ready for this:

Don Juan

Le Morte Fiancee & The Family Portraits, from Fantasmagoriana

Christabel

Darkness

Fragment of a Novel

The Vampyre

A Hymn to Intellectual Beauty

Frankenstein, or, the Modern Prometheus

Note that for the Frankenstein text I selected, I chose the original 1818 text, purely because this is the original, the least edited, and in my opinion, the best. Far too many people only know the 1831 version, which is so far removed from that original summer I feel it is irrelevant.

This Article from the New York Times that was totally viewable back when I actually started researching for this show back in 2015 without a subscription so here's the web.archive link yo

After my dad suggested this story as the basis for a show to me back in 2015 (my god, 8 years ago???) this article was the very first thing I read about the Shelleys and Byron, and their summer at Diodati, and it got me hooked. I recommend giving it a read. It's great writing, and the sort of thing that NYT no longer writes nearly frequently enough anymore.

I immediately purchased the following three books, cited as sources by that article:

Byron in Love: A Short Daring Life

Young Romantics: The Shelleys, Byron, and Other Tangled Lives

Byron and the Romantics in Switzerland, 1816

Followed by like... hundreds more books, articles, etc. But those three are a great start! If anything, I'd add this book, purely because it's more well known and referenced than those three, and takes a more Byron-centric view that, well, gels more with the portrayal of events in my show.

Thank you for this question! I'm going to post this list on my Patreon as well, where I'll go more into detail on each resource. :)

THE YEAR OF CONTENT-TENT-TENT!!!

For reasons I don't completely understand myself, I've decided that this year, I'm going to attempt to post at least once a day for the whole year. It's not a New Year's resolution (I should honestly probably resolve to spend less time online, but, LOL ! What can you do?). If I had to pick a why, I guess I'd say I really want this year to be a Bob Ross year.

Bob Ross had an almost magical ability to make the world seem like a simple and restful place. It didn't matter what was happening at the moment, or what you were struggling with at the time because "Everyday is a good day when you paint!" Well, I don't paint. I enjoy crochet, and reading, but I really enjoy non-solitary pursuits, and while I also intend to make this a year of strengthening my IRL relationships and building new ones, posting on Tumblr is like painting for me. I get to interact with people without worrying about the impression I'm giving, or about going on too long about my blorbos, and well, "Everyday is a good day when you talk about your blorbos".

The posts will be whatever I feel like that day (although, if I reblog, I will do my best to make sure I'm adding to the conversation, even just a little). There's no real end goal to this for me- I'm not even sure I'll be able to stick to it for the whole year- but it's an idea that popped into my head and sounded interesting. I hope it'll encourage people to interact with me more, and help me find more blogs to follow. Maybe doing this will even help me to branch out beyond ATLA (not a goal, but if it happens, cool). So here's to a new year! May it be a Bob Ross year for us all.

#THE YEAR OF CONTENT #happy new year!#feel free to send me asks #make suggestions #ask me about anything #THE YEAR OF CONTENT!!!!

i agree with you that sunday is a better musical but do you think it’s possible you’re getting a little heated over a silly internet poll? like this isn’t an award show, there’s no prestige here it doesn’t matter who wins. treating it like a high stakes issue when it’s literally just a poll on a tumblr blog is a little much right? if the “wrong” show wins its not like the world will go “okay fuck sondheim take away his accolades the people of tumblr decided it.” especially since you seem to be aware you’re talking to kids, calling them idiots for enjoying a different show more feels really unnecessary

I'm a teacher, specifically a music teacher. Sometimes kids need to be told they're idiots. It's not an insult- idiocy isn't something to be protected and harbored, it's merely ignorance, and ignorance is something easily amended. If you're nice about it, most of the time, the student doesn't understand the gravity of their ignorance- if you're blunt, and honest, and use words like 'idiot', then the reality kicks in.

If you think I'm being mean to my students (and by using the same language here, to my followers), think again. I'm critical, because I respect my audience, in both. If I treated my students with kid gloves, couching everything in soft words, that would not be respectful, that would be diminutive and derogatory. I don't coddle, and I don't condone coddling. Grow the fuck up and get off anon, say the criticisms you want to say without hiding. I do. I'm an adult, and don't mask that fact on this site; I will speak freely on here, especially in regards to topics about which I harbor strong passions.

I don't care if it's not an important award, instead just a silly internet poll, it's still hundreds of people voicing an opinion about what the "best musical" is based on 1) a lack of adequate information about both competitors, and 2) a fierce loyalty to fandom for the sake of fandom. And that's an insult to a great man, and to add insult to injury, it further diminishes the incredibly important nature and message of the show itself.

There are plenty of shows that could win against Sunday, and I'd understand and accept that. Phantom, Les Miserables, Hamilton, Rent, to name a few; hugely impactful musicals that have strong scores, stories, characters, and have stayed the course strongly, more successfully than Sunday. There are even some shows that don't necessarily fit all of these arbitrary qualifications that I would understand- for example, The Drowsy Chaperone if pitted against Sunday would be an interesting match that Sunday might lose, given that they're both introspective odes to art, and Drowsy in particular is specifically about the theatre, thereby more relatable for audiences. Or Sweeney Todd, which pushes more boundaries than any other show in existence in literally every facet. Heck, even Dear Evan Hansen, which I hate, might stand solely on its strong message of the difficulties surrounding mental health.

But an Internet musical that's merely slightly clever in its meta nature, following the trends established by the hyper meta media people seem to love lately, is not a contender. Voting for that because you don't know the other option is disingenuous, and voting if you know both is ignorant.

If it were high stakes, I wouldn't be talking about it on Tumblr, ffs. This is the low stakes site for low stakes things. There's a reason I'm sitting front and center at the first public performance of his last show, and there is a reason my own musical, a piece a decade in the making, is looking to make its own local premiere in my hometown next season. It's because of Sondheim, and his magic, and how strongly he inspired me. And I'm going to defend that tooth and nail until I die.

love when men cry about body hair bc "it's hygiene" and yet 15% of cis men leave the bathroom without washing their hands at all and an additional 35% only just wet their hands without using soap. that is nearly half of all men. that means statistically you have probably shaken hands with or been in direct contact with one of these people.

love when men say that women "only want money" when it turns out that even in equal-earning homes, women are actually adding caregiver burdens and housework from previous years, whereas men have been expanding leisure time and hobbies. in equal-earning households, men spend an average of 3.5 hours extra in leisure time per week, which is 182 hours per year - a little over a week of paid vacation time that the other partner does not receive. kinda sounds like he wants her money.

love that men have decided women are frail and weak and annoying when we scream in surprise but it turns out it's actually women who are more reliable in an emergency because men need to be convinced to actually take action and respond to the threat. like, actually, for-real: men experience such a strong sense of pride about their pre-supposed abilities that it gets them and their families killed. they are so used to dismissing women that it literally kills them.

love it. told my father this and he said there's lies, damned lies, and statistics. a year ago i tried to get him to evacuate the house during a flash flood. he ignored me and got injured. he has told me, laughing, that he never washes his hands. he has said in the last week that women are just happier when we're cooking or cleaning.

maybe i'm overly nostalgic. but it didn't used to feel so fucking bleak. it used to feel like at least a little shameful to consider women to be sheep. it just feels like the earth is round and we are still having conversations about it being flat - except these conversations are about the most obvious forms of patriarchy. like, we know about this stuff. we've known since well before the 50's.

recently andrew tate tried to justify cheating on his partner as being the "male prerogative." i don't know what the prerogative for the rest of us would be. just sitting at home, watching the slow erosion of our humanity.

#writeblr #warm up #ps edited so it is more clear where “half” of men is coming from:#15% literally don't even touch water #an ADDITIONAL 35% ''wash'' by just running their hands under water WITHOUT SOAP #15+35 =50%#like that is not washing ur hands. go back and use soap #btw the numbers for women are 4% never washing and 15% ''just water''#which is still gross but like. sooo much better yikes #ps i know we're all gay on this site but watching ppl ''correct'' my math on this has been wild #i have a learning disability im genuinely bad at math so i check EVERY time someone corrects me #but no they're just confidently wrong.....#182 hours is a week babes. 182/24 (number of hours in a day) is ~7.6 #that's where i got that number from. also from rent we know there's 168 hours in a week.#ALSO btw if u read this and ur response is ''men are also struggling rn tho'' like babe you missed the point of it tho #this doesn't even make fun of men it's legit just pointing out that bigotry against women isn't founded #in anything men actually CARE about . like they don't actually CARE about ''being clean'' when they make fun of armpit hair #or they would be WASHING THEIR HANDS.#men pretend to be rollin' in cash and Apex Predators and instead they are trained to be lazy and unwilling to act in emergencies #i have never and will never make fun of men for asking for more support on important topics like DV and mental health.#this is so clearly not about men; it's about how common just being plainly misogynistic has become.#like they don't try to hide it anymore.
