Jesse's Crazy Nest

The Tempest: Caliban and co. The trio's antics when I first watched the play were the most enjoyable part of the show and reminded me a lot of Team Rocket from Pokemon.

The Two Gentlemen of Verona: Lance and Crab Honestly we need a whole play of his monologues and Crab just silently listening in awe

The Merry Wives of Windsor: Frank Ford His antics combined with his challenged masculinity makes this an interesting plot

Measure for Measure: Mistress Overdone We sure do love ourselves a perky punky sexually free woman, don't we

Much Ado About Nothing: Dogberry Dumb comic sidekick. Nuff said.

All's Well That Ends Well: Paroles I actually wrote a fanfic of him on Wattpad and it is very old and very bad and you are abolutely not allowed to read it.

Twelfth Night: Sir Andrew Aguecheek My high school's version had him played by one of my best friends, who is a trans woman and I would love to see where the transfem interpretation goes.

The Winter's Tale: Time: My first role! The sheer idea of a character that is literally an incoprehensable idea just makes for some wild possibilities.

Richard II: Aumerle He's such a cinnamon roll and so loyal to Richard. And the version I saw in London had a nonbinary actor playing the role and I love that take

Henry IV: Francis My second role! He just goes anon-anon and it's so sweet

Henry V: The French Loved playing one of them and it's good to see the villain's side of the story. Plus they're funny

Henry VI: Jack Cade A story of a rebel band is what we need right now

Titus Andronicus: Chiron and Demitrius Creepy evil twins make good protagonists

Romeo and Juliet: Mercutio He's got that rizz perfect for a protagonist

Macbeth: Donalbain What the heck was he doing in ireland?

Hamlet: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern: This is the idea that inspired this post in the first place and the only characters which have their own spinoff as of late

King Lear: Oswald One of my favorite roles! I got to show my true evil side and delve deep on why he does the things he does. I also headconon him as being really edgy evolving from a cinnamon roll

Othello: Ludovico Poor guy just wants to keep the peace but cirumstances out of his control ruin his life!

ISTJ: Orsino

ISFJ: Antonio

ISTP: Viola

I really like it when people on here don't accuse my favorite actors of queerbaiting. Look, if a supposedly straight actor is playing a queer character, maybe this could be the catalyst for finding out if they're queer and/or coming out as queer. And speaking of, I know this may seem contraversial, I think characters of a certain group should be portrayed by actors of that group, only if that character's identity plays a big part in the plot. (I know international dubs can be harder). And look, I know it's fun to speculate, but hey, I do it too, and as long as you don't badger actors out of the closet, everything's all good.

PS. Fuck the Heartstopper Fandom. Part of which is because I'm not really into romance(demisexual) but part of which is because they forced an actor out of the closet and hurt him. I don't like it when people hurt actors (myself included).

PPS: Congrats on the Hellaverse fandom for not forcing the actors (including international dubbers) out of the closet.

DE: Ich mag es, wenn Leute auf heir nicht Schauspieler*innen mit queerbaiten akkusieren. Sie mal, wenn ein/e angebliche hetero Schauspieler*in einen LGBT+ Charakter spielt, das wird vielleicht der Katalysator für ihrer Selbstentdeckung als LGBT+ sein. Auf den Thema, ich glaube dass was ich sagen will kontraversial ist, aber ich glaube, dass Charaktern von einer Gruppe sollen von Schauspieler*innen auf der selben Gruppe gespielt, nur wenn der Identität von Charakter wichtig zur Geschichte ist. (Ich weiß, dass Fremdsynchro swieriger sein kann). Und, ich weiß, es macht spaß spekulieren, ich mach es auch, aber wenn du nicht Schauspieler*innen auß den Shrank schiebst, alles ist gut.

PS. Fuck den Heartstopper Fans. Das ist weil ich nicht ein Liebe Fan bin (demisexuell) aber auch weil sie haben ein Schauspieler aus den Schrank geschoben und ihm verletzt. Ich mag es nicht wenn Leute Schauspieler*innen (wie mir) verletzen.

Also, ich kann auch deutsch sprechen! Also, ich schreibe diese Kolumne um viertel vor fünf mit einen Zuckerrausch die ich von Traubenkaugummi und Kirscheis gekriegt habe und höre schon wieder den deutschen Soundtrack zur Zeichentrickserie Hazbin Hotel.  

Erstens, liebe ich die Serie sehr. Sie ist über Charlie, die Tochter von Luzifer dem Teufel, und sie eröffnet ein Hotel für Sünder*innen, sodass sie sich erlösen und zum Himmel gehen können. In der Spinoff Helluva Boss, gründen drei Imps und ein Garm machen eine Auftragsmord-Organisation, indem sie Menschen für Sünder*innen ermorden. Die beiden Serien sind sehr witzig, haben dunklen Humor, eingängige Lieder und einen interessanten Kunststil, und dass ist warum ich sie liebe.  

Ich will über die deutsche Fassung der beiden Zeichentrickserien sprechen. Die einzigen Fehler, die die Studios gemacht haben, waren, dass sie unterschiedliche Studios für die Lieder benutzen. Aber die Sprechstimmen der Charakteren sind doch gute Sänger*innen. Zum Beispiel, Hannes Maurer (der Sexarbeiter Angel Dust) und Tobias Nath (der Schlangen-Erfinder Sir Pentious) (einer der besten Comic-Duos in der deutschen Synchronerei) haben das Samstag-Duett in den Kapitän Superslip gesungen und es hat sehr gut geklungen. Zum Glück singen Claudia Urbschat-Mingues, die berühmt für ihrer Rolle als die deutsche Stimme von Lilith Dornenklaue in der beliebten Zeichentrickserie The Owl House ist, und die Kabarettistin Christin Marquitan in ihrer Rollen als Carmilla, die Höllenbaronin des Tanzes, und Rosie, die Bürgermeisterin der Menschenfresserstadt. Als ich die ersten Noten von Carmillas Solo “Tun was zu tun ist” erstmal auf Deutsch gehört habe, habe ich mich in Claudia** verliebt. Sie hat eine sehr machtvolle Stimme und ich will, wie sie singen. Ich kann sagen, dass ich ein bisschen asexuell für ihr bin***. Aber ich hasse den deutschen Synchronsprecher von meinem Lieblingscharakter, Vox, der Höllenbaron vom Fernseher, Florian Halm. Es gibt einen GRUND, warum er bis zu diesem Moment nur einen moralische ambivalenten Schurken spielt. Er kann die Rolle eines machtvollen Tyrannen nicht handhaben.  

Also, sprechen wir über die deutsche Fassung von Helluva Boss. Sie haben dieselben Sprecher für sprechen und singen gehaben, aber, weil es zur selben Zeit von Staffel 2 von Hazbin Hotel gemacht wurde, war das Dialogbuch nicht so gut. Aber die Schauspieler*innen haben das Beste aus dem schlechten Text gemacht. Und das ist was ein guter Schauspieler*in macht. Also sollen wir nicht die Synchronsprecher als Sündenböcke behandeln. Ist Santiago Ziesmer, der in seinen normalen Rollen von SpongeBob und Ferkel eine Verlassung macht, denn Mafiaboss Crimson spielt, ein Sündenbock? Niemals! Er ist ein guter Schauspieler, der Beste! Er ist nicht schlecht! 

Aber mein Lieblingscharakter aus Helluva Boss ist Stolas, weil er ein Vogel und so dramatisch ist und in der deutschen Fassung von Manou Lubowski gesprochen wird. Ich mag Manou Lubowski, als lieb als ich Stolas mag****. Er gibt Stolas eine emotionale Seele, die in meinem Lieblingsmomenten (z. B. wenn er seine Tochter, Octavia in Loo Loo Land tröstet) ausgezeichnet ist. Ich glaube, dass er Richard II im Theater gespielt hat (Ich bin mehr wie Henrich V). Ich nenne Manou auch senpai. Also, ich liebe dich*****, Manou******!  

*=  Ich bezeichne mich auf einer Kritik, die ich in meiner Highschool Klasse für Creative Schrieben gekriegt habe, als ich über meine Lieb für Jason Isaacs geschrieben habe.

**= Als zukünftige Schauspieler*innen, nenne ich andere Schauspieler*innen mit ihrem Vornamen.

***= Das ist nur ein Witz! Ich bin nicht schwuhl für ihr, weil wir ein 37-Yahr Altersunterschied haben, und auch weil Lilith Dornklaue asexuell ist. Ich bin auch demisexuell, also.....

****= Nicht romantisch, weil Stolas schwuhl ist, und Manou und ich einer 36-Jahr Altersunterschied haben 

*****= Zukünftiger Schauspieler*innen benutzen informelle Pronomen zu dem anderen Schauspieler*innen.  

The play Eurydice by Sarah Ruhle, a retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice from Eurydice's perspective has constantly been overshadowed by the popular musical Hadestown (btw that's why I think Epic is the better Greek mythology musical). In the beginning of the musical, we find out Orpheus is controlling of Eurydice, criticizing her sense of rhythm. When Eurydice meets the Nasty Interesting Man (who really lives up to his name), he preys on her and trying to escape, she accidentally falls to her death and goes to the underworld, where she reunites with her father, whom she misses. But then the Nasty Interesting Man turns out to be the Lord of the Underworld, setting up mysteries about him that are speculated by fans and scholars of the play alike. In the end, she must choose whether to stay in the underworld with her father, or to go back to earth with toxic Orpheus.

Fans of Undertale will really like this play because the Nasty Interesting Man gives a lot of Flowey the Flower vibes(which is why he's my favorite), it's about a human going to the Underworld, and there is a hilarious chorus of stones(Big Stone, Loud Stone, and Little Stone) whose quirkiness harkens many NPCs in Undertale.
