a 10 second clip from still/the neva flows because “I am my mother’s daughter.” “And I am my father’s son!” is some good agatha + gil aesthetic, and cos the entire song makes a nice parallel to the rooftop scene. I highly recommend checking out this song, or at least the lyrics here, for context!
the premise of this AU is that it’s an opera created by an art spark who took a lot of artistic liberties with agatha’s story.
the plot is a mishmash of the anastasia musical AND the movie, and absolutely doesnt make sense, but hey, event week! and a lost princess story is always fun
starring:
agatha as anastasia
agatha’s locket as the music box
tarvek as dimitry
gil as gleb
lucrezia as rasputin (yeah.)
and klaus as the lurking spectre of gil’s daddy issues, which sometimes possesses his body and tries to makes him do stuff like hunt down his crush and kill her to prevent the second rising of the Other
bonus shot of ot3 viewing this scene on screening night:
check out @xenart‘s animatic of lucrezia singing “in the dark of the night” for more anastasia au cinematic universe and peak sparkiness!!!
