fish-d:

honestly as much as i love seeing other people’s interpretations of the graf, barton will always be my absolute favorite. a lot of the more modern krolocks come off as cold and emotionless (ivan) or smug and disdainful (drewww), and those are perfectly valid interpretations of the character! but barton has this melancholy and warmth to him that i ADORE. like in his “Vor dem Schloss”, when he says the “ich bin ein nachtvogel” line, he giggles at his own gatdamn joke ??? that’s fucking adorable ? you really get the sense that he’s a lonely dad who’s had a hard 300-odd years but he still has a lot of love to give. i’ve made myself emotional goddamnit (PLEASE watch this video of his “Die Unstillbare Gier”, it’s the rawest emotional performance i have EVER seen)

also, fun fact, he did english demo recordings of the Dance of the Vampires translations for unstillbare and gott ist tot ( “Confessions of a Vampire” (x) and “Original Sin” (x), respectively )! i mean the translations are still janky as fuck but its cool to hear him do the graf in english

iiiii got into tanz maybe? a little under two months ago? so i feel you >u< i just, uhh. have been consuming tanz media nonstop since 

👀

OK OK BACK TO UR ACTUAL QUESTION my favorite production is. mmmmm i think i mentioned this the last ask but the 2006 Hamburg Tarte proshot ( handsubbed on youtube here ) and the… I think ‘97? Barton proshot, which my friend had to rip off of piratebay :’) there are like 11 pixels on the screen but its worth it to see My Boy Steve

and my favorite song iiiis probably a tie between “Vor dem Schloss” and “Die Unstillbare Gier”, but special mention goes to “Carpe Noctem” and “Sie irren, Professor!”. basically any time krolock is either a) being emotional or b) on the stage with alfred, i lose my goddamn marbles – ESPECIALLY if its a krolock who uhhh tends to Get Physical (like here with aleksandr sukhanov and sergey denisov or here with barton and aris)

ANYWAY SORRY ABT GIVIN U HOMEWORK LMAO but i hope your weekend has been good too !!! <3333
