your favorite musical except replace one of your favorite songs with a song from High School Musical

example: Sunday in the Park with George except Gotta Go My Own Way instead of We Do Not Belong Together

Chess except with Bop to the Top instead of The Deal (No Deal)

chess is about abandonment

Chess as Vines

All credit for the chosen vines goes to @msariadneoliver

And the technical support from @effanineffables was essential

A drawing of Florence and Svetlana from Chess the Musical. Florence is wearing a houndstooth pantsuit with a black and white striped button up underneath, and an open black coat over it. Svetlana is wearing a white blouse with ruffles at the front and a long black skirt with a belt and two pockets. On the top-left corner is handwriting noting down a height chart for the main cast of Chess, listing them from tallest to shortest: Anatoly, Florence, Freddie, and Svetlana. The background is red with a faint white checkerboard pattern.ALT
A drawing of Florence and Svetlana from Chess the Musical. Florence is sitting against a mirror that shows Svetlana looking back at her. On the floor next to Florence is a chessboard with only a queen on it. Florence is coloured in shades of red while Svetlana and the mirror are in blue. The background is black with a yellow circle and there is text saying "But I keep losing" repeated on the left in blue, and "Losing, babe!" in the bottom right in red.ALT

This song really shows that Anatoly

1. knows he’s an asshole and

2. solidly believes he’s the hero of the story

He’s straight up saying ‘yeah I did that shit. That was me. But I’m the good guy here so it equals out’

He knows he hurt people, he knows he’s a piece of shit. But that doesn’t matter to him. Because he won the game.

And he’s gonna keep playing victimised as long as it serves him because he’s proved to himself it works
