if i had a nickel for every musical reimagining of moby dick being created by great comet folks right now, i'd have two nickels.

which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?

choksikhov would never be able to pull off the drinking in the windowsill stunt because he’s too small to hold all that alcohol :(((((

I saw you reblogged a post about Penelope / Odysseus and it reminded me that I wanted to ask if you know any others works about those? They're like my favourite couple and I'd love to read more about them if there's such thing? I don't mind academic works either as long as they're not overly academic since this isn't my topic of expertise. Ta!

as far as reception goes i highly recommend the lost books of the odyssey by zachary mason and the penelopiad by margaret atwood (it has its faults but it is really good). i also really like this song by manik choksi.

and in terms of scholarship: i think my favorite piece of penelope scholarship i've read might genuinely be the article penelope's thick hand (roller and roller, 1994). i'm also a big fan of melissa mueller's 2007 article penelope and the poetics of remembering, and i found the first few chapters of pietro pucci's book odysseus polutropos really useful and interesting for thinking about odysseus. i'm not sure if any of those really make for 'casual' reading though.

can i um. ask for more info about the wap vn

Ok so! Wap visual novel came about in summer of 2019 when my friend mars jokingly tweeted about wanting a war and peace dating sim. She’s since deleted her account but there was something like “you attempt to romance napoleon and pierre immediately hates you” which I thought was hilarious. Who’s attempting to romance napoleon.

I figured, I can draw. I can write. I can code a little and I’m taking python this semester. I can totally make this a Christmas gift for her. (This did not happen, because that semester I took 21 credits while doing independent research and working 20 hours a week. And then I got a big girl job and then the pandemic and then grad school whaaat)

It was going to have 11 (I think?) characters that could be romanced (I seem to have misplaced my planning notebook so I can’t completely confirm >:|) with different endings depending on player choices, plus two additional characters that could be unlocked by making specific choices and solving some puzzles.

So basically what exists is some very old character sketches with the majority of the designs being pulled from the various casts of great comet, (most of which are in my tag) a test piece of code to make sure all the art is sized correctly, and a written waltz scene and a completely historically-inaccurate-for-19th-century-Russian-aristocracy romance scene.

There was literally no plot or plans or anything, this whole thing started because back in the day mars and I were insane for manik choksi’s dolokhov and I wanted to smooch him.

Hopefully soon I’ll get some free time and will be able to completely re-evaluate my character designs and actually get the ball rolling on it!

#I do know I’m using **** as the reference for count rostov. beck says he’s too young but it’s my dating sim and I get to choose the dilfs. #I’m sure there’s more but it’s 0330 and my brain is melting #wap vn #sneakystorms #war and peace #and technically #natasha pierre and the great comet of 1812

Manik Choksi’s ishmael changed my life and that’s not even being dramatic i have truly thought about that performance at least twice a week for the past three years anon just killed me with that information. it definitely needed a good amount of editing but i wanted moby dick back so bad :(

Dave Malloy is ALLOWED his 3 and a half hour musical adaptation of one of the great American novels… even if it was too much and self indulgent and possibly bad at points, i don’t care, it is his God-given right. (I hope Malloy makes his way through the great novels of every country; America and Russia down. I pray for his adaptation of the great Irish novel, James Joyce’s Ulysses). I will be petulantly upset if, in any further iterations of Moby Dick, Choksi is not on for Ishmael. frankly, he is still young enough! Malloy could rework it and have it at Ars Nova in like a decade and it would probably still work! you are one of the lucky ones to witness Manik Choksi Ishmael, who I am almost positive would make me weep (he already makes me weep in his few and far between moments in Great Comet). Don’t worry anon… he will be back. I know it.

I know it's 80% book quotes word for word set to music but Loomings my beloved. Isolatoes too. Really enveloping you in the tone of the rest of the tale, the crashing of waves in the background, the most singing we hear from Ishmael until Tryworks (I'm not counting Cetology, that's non-diegetic.) I want to hear more of Manik Choksi's voice, dammit!

i can’t stress enough that pearl rhein and manik choksi both appeared in the first season of succession and their faces were BARELY in frame at all and i managed to spot them just by their voices so i’m pretty sure that makes me the king of comet
