It is beautiful to vanish in the joyful flame

Oh god, the flame’s already dying

What a vain, fragile drama

It crackles, curls up, and dies

The first Colline x Schaunard fanart to ever exist, probably.

Let’s continue our wonderful and “loveful” week that is dedicated for sure Valentine’s Day, here at Musica in Extenso. (not just for couples!)

Today we will relive the beautiful and enchanting music of the great italian opera composer, Giacomo Puccini. For this special Valentine’s Week edition, I chose the famous Musetta aria (La boheme) Quando m'en vo’ (Musetta’s Waltz) in instrumental version from the Puccini - Without words album, because we can speak the language of love in the best way, focusing on what we do; it’s important than what we say.

OH FUCK YEAH

So how they meet, idk. But they somehow get transported to the others’ universe.

• Mark and Marcello get along pretty much instantly. Although Mark is kinda offended by the way Marcello talks about women. Like “wtf dude have you met a woman” (though workshop Mark would outmatch this)

• Roger and Rodolfo…are the opposite. Roger is immediately ready to fight him “what the fuck you pretentious fucker wHAT DO HALF THE THINGS YOU’RE SAYING MEAN” and Rodolfo is like “….? please calm down I’m a poet I have to pretty much always be creating my art” “fUCKIN FIGHT ME”

• Collins and Colline also hit it off and Colline is grateful to be introduced to weed

• Angel and Schaunard are like Sass Extraordinaire and try to outsass each other

• Maureen and Musetta try to /outsing/ each other, and that’s nearly worse than the Sass Battle

• Alcindoro and Joanne…do not get along. At all.

• Benny couldn’t feel more meh about Benoit

• Oddly enough, Mark and Rodolfo immediately get along as if they were best friends, as do Marcello and Roger.

Bonus:

The crew of La Bohème bullying Benoît’s corpse for shits and giggles

5 things I like about myself

-my eyes are blue, they’re a pretty nice color

-my friend said my voice is soothing so I like it

-I have this kind of sixth sense about things, such as which people are good people and near future things (kinda clairvoyance except it’s a bit hard to explain? but I like it)

-when I get into a thing, I /really/ get into it and end up learning a lot more than I’d planned about it (RENT is a musical based on an opera based on a play based on a book. The real Marcello/Marcel/Mark was named François Tabar, and the painting Marcello is painting in Act 1 of La Bohème actually exists-“Escape from the Egyptian Campaign”. It’s a really pretty painting.) (see? I told you)

-I care about my friends a lot
