a dinner date

what do you mean this is the first art i've drawn just for fun in months? what do you mean after drawing death all the time this is the first time i've drawn him uhh... just over 2 years... not counting the donation request to draw him on stream the other week... well i got to stream elisabeth das musical for a bunch of lovely people and i'm so happy they enjoyed it and they've been fueling my want to draw him again more often with the der tod brainrot i've infected them with.

[ID: a drawing of Death/Der Tod from the German-language musical Elisabeth das Musical, specifically from the original 1992 Vienna production. He is wearing a skin-tight long black dress that starts at the bust and has thin straps, long black opera gloves, a black silk choker, and his silver ring on his right hand that he wears in the musical.)

#i had almost forgotten what my regualr style of drawing is as ive been drawing so many ych pixel chibis and goobers and chibi stickers #lately that idk the last time i just drew in my regular style #didnt colour if fully either because remember this was meant to be fun quick art aaa when did i last do that i need to do this more #makes me feel nice that i can get some sort of drawing out #and i want to draw without colouring it in more esp when its just meant to be fun fanart #elisabeth das musical #der tod #elisabeth the musical #fanart #myart #mine #european musicals #europeanmusicals #euro musicals

Ethan and Pia Douwes performing "Wenn Ich Tanzen Will" from Elisabeth.

Love how Ethan really leans into his Erik/Phantom acting for "Der Tod".

I am thinking once again about Elisabeth das Musical and Death.

Recently Overly Sarcastic Productions' Red presented a video on the fictional depiction of Death. And I thought about my favorite assassin faery king/meow meow feral wet cat Der Tod. During my video essay, I only mentioned a few interpretations of Death without digging into it. But I realized that the interpretation where Der Tod is not an independent character - but as a personification of a troubled psyche perhaps - doesn't have to be confined to the experience of an individual.

In the musical, a lot of deaths are shown or alluded to. But what is curious about the total death toll in is that Der Tod only appears to a handful of characters.

If Der Tod is an independent psychopomp character, wouldn't it make consistent logical sense if he comes to deliver every single soul passed away? The Takarazuka Revue production definitely leans more heavily into this interpretation. Which makes him appear like a deity associated with Death but not the event of death itself.

The pre-2012 Der Tod is more nuanced combining characteristics of death itself and representation of psychological darkness to create ambiguity. But what if these 2 things overlap and he represents both?

Here's the thing!

Der Tod is only relevant in the lives and deaths of 3 characters: Elisabeth, Rudolph, and Lucheni. Old Sophie's death is a fade-to-black. Baby Sophie's death, Der Tod appears in front of - NOT SOPHIE - but ELISABETH. And this is no coincidence! These are 3 characters who contemplate Death the most. Not just in the sense that they are su*c*dal but they ponder much about lives and subsequently the concept of death.

So that brings me to the question: what does it all mean?

Death is, after all, the only universal experience every human must face. And we as humans don't just stop at knowing, but we actively think about what death means, and tell stories about the experience of living and dying. The fact that Der Tod is intimate with multiple characters can represent the collective contemplation of Death.

And his relationship with them begs the question:

Is he more powerful, the more we think of him?
