Sutton Foster as Svetlana and Josh Groban as Anatoly in the Actors Fund of America’s production of Chess (2003)

bbc war and peace bad but callum turner as anatole kuragin was so inspired if u really think abt it. that man would also send me into a state of mania.

"So … friends?" "As long as you promise not to tell people we're friends."

Yes the rat is Smerdyakov and please pardon my awful handwritten Russian

i bought a copy of the “original drafts” version of war and peace cuz i saw ppl talking about it so much and i only knew some vague facts about it. it’s really interesting and i’m enjoying it but i do find it funny that the publisher describes it as “tolstoy’s intended version” when so much of what’s left out is the most self indulgent philosophizing prose from tolstoy.

Ben Schwartz and Josh groban friendship can be something so special

Marya would be such a pickle girl this is my headcanon of the day. She’s taking a little snacky up to her room she’s got a little jar of pickles on her nightstand for emergencies she dreams of pickling her own pickles but is too restricted by the horrors to go out and do it, so she yearns,

Only fools can gamble on luck

time travelling back to 2017 bc i’m watching a production of the great comet tonight :3

i saw sweeney todd in november but i really think i’m only starting to process all the emotions of seeing it live now.

does anyone have any great comet b00tlegs they’d be willing to share… i’ve seen what’s most popular on youtube but i know there’s other things and i just want to see. i don’t care abt quality or the cast or anything i just need something to feed my obsession.

raskolnikov from crime and punishment would never survive if he had a period

i have a tendency to spoil things for myself because i’m too eager so i’m challenging myself to read crime and punishment without spoiling it for myself and it’s so hard but it also has made me much more motivated to read so maybe there’s some virtues to this

Last post of 2023! The wondrous Pierre <3

suggested edit for future productions of chess
