Coming back, this time as an even bigger chess the musical fan, to remind you that Craig Revel Horwood directed a production of Chess in 2010/11 (??) that featured Freddie whipping a microphone out of thin air and what I can only call ‘sexy arbiter’ ?

This show gets weirder with every version I see

[rileyisawattflower]

the biggest dramas of the past two weeks have been a) a guy cheating on his wife with his employee and b) a chess player getting accused of cheating against the world champion by using a very ridiculous cheating method. so what i'm saying is big month to be anatoly sergievsky

I’ve been off of WATT tumblr for a very long time, I think we’re all dead - but I found this. And it broke me

“this is gonna be perfect, right?”

what if riley didn’t even plan to kill chess and farrah at the sleepover. what if she had already been thinking of doing it, but decided against it, despite her desire to be perfect. she still believed that chess and farrah could turn it around and get better. but when the sleepover arrives and everything turns out the opposite way she wanted it to, she decides there is no other way to be perfect than killing them. because no one else ever told her that that’s not the case. what if she didn’t want to murder them, believing, that things would be Perfect, but saw herself forced to do so after the incidents. because her only desire was being perfect so someone would tell her - riley, the wallflower - that they’re proud of her. just think of it

How do you all think Captain Kimberly looked?????

I LOVE THIS. The bit about Riley - true

The idea of showing the stunt and the tigers past through flashbacks - great

Tiger Clark and seeing Eva in her captain role - genius

hello since last night i've been thinking about how good watt would be as a netflix miniseries n then i remembered you made that edit so i wondered if you had any thoughts on how that would go 👀

okay i have Some already made thoughts and rambling just came up with thoughts

i would want it to start with the summer of the accident that made this all happen where we see everyone doing their thing:

idk if the accident happened at a game or competiton but im setting it at a football game so it can be tigers vs titans and we get to see eva

clark in the football game

some visual context about chess’ olympic past u know like some schools have clippings of student accomplishments on a board or like trophy cases or something

obviously the bad stunt happening

reese as mascot, possibly doing what she did in the show with the if chess needs a minute i can join but get rejecte

captain kimberly sexting the whole time x

i would want more indepth familial storys about some of them like annleigh/farrah before the sleepover (like we see annleigh getting dressed that could b a longer convo about how her parents expect her to take care of farrah etc) but like with all of them

i feel like it could be similar to the carrie tv movie (which is fitting considering its an insp for the show) where it intercuts with police interviews and the whole show is basically them re-living what happened that night for their statements

possible general overview w music (although could even b without):

ep 1 = flashback to the stunt and worst team ever (ends at the end of the song)

ep 2 = “does anyone have an update on annleigh/farrah” *straight cut to them arguing in the car outside, annleigh trying to take the bottle, whilst clark tries to stop them and then it cuts straight back to a silent team* “.........theres no service?”. dont even occurs. i feel like ending when kate and chess leave would be a solid place to end?

ep 3 = skype tomorrow,, i feel like possibly seeing flashbacks of their relationship could be here bc its not a very visual song?? sounds kinda cheesy tho. btb also happens here and the ep ends w chess dying

ep 4 = forever to farrahs death would probs b this ep but that feels like a squeeze bc its 3 songs so we might have to cut it at mattie being sick after captain of the team?

ep 5 = wallflower and defense

ep 6 = matties lament,, mayb over a montage of her being put into prison and possibly what everyone else is like at school like cairo not getting replies from riley and her watching motivational speeches n stuff jkdfkjfd (i feel like the shut tf u joke kinda wouldnt work as well idk?? i would possibly interupt it with a police interviewer confirming that mattie didnt think she was guilty but that makes it more serious idk it could still work),, phoenix also happens, ep ends at kate leaving?

ep 7 = move on to wallflower reprise mayb? once again 3 songs so may be tight but theres not a great place to cut

ep 8 = idk and the breakdown defo possibly could go straight the end? would like to bulk out the last scene a bit with actual apologies to reese and may some grave visiting and kateva and possibly cario visiting riley in prison and also the whole police statement thing would need to be wrapped up ?? (idk why but id kinda like riley to be portrayed more sympathetic instead of “psycho killer” like she had a mental break due to the stresses of needing to be perfect n i feel like that gets overlooked sometimes)

i feel like it could be stretched to 10 eps if it was cut well

i also think there could be some well done foreshadowing but i dont know how i would impliment it atm kfdfkj but the actual show does it well anyway in the script,, possibly add some visual foreshadowing for the tv show

im not sure if i have any other thoughts at this time but feel free to share some thoughts !!
