From ninjatrauma:

1. Comment in this post with a pairing, a character, or a threesome.

2. I shall write you back a paragraph explaining what I think about it (good, bad, indifferent) and why.

3. Let's discuss / argue / CAPSLOCK at each other about it! I only ask that you don't get insulted, angry, mean, or stupid.

*bats eyelashes* Anyone? :) And anything I ever heard of!

I could go on for pages and pages about the symbolism of fathers and penetration and emasculation in Tanz, but the bottom of the line is, Krolock is IT. The big guy. Top banana. And Alfred knows he's the bottom of the heap, and seeing that magificence he can't help but get a bit of a crush. As evidenced by Carpe Noctem, because Alfred knows when he doesn't stand a chance.

Then there is Unstillbare, and I've always disapproved of the Warsaw choice to skip Alfred's reaction to it. I think it's the moment where Krolock stops being a dream and starts being someone real. Paradoxically, it's what makes Alfred able to stand up to him in Tanzsaal, and though Abronsius' help is needed and the whole endeavour is useless, I think that defiance is a turning point for Alfred's self-confidence. Once he's a vampire, I can see him glomping on Krolock's leg and demanding to be taught.

(And the other way around, I adore Krolocks who take the time to seduce their Alfreds - especially Steve in his more manic phases, Borchert in Vienna, and both Lukasz's and Yamaguchi's final shows. Alfred is the everyman and he represents the viewpoint of the audience, so the first act finale is where we're all seduced, until the doors slam and we can't wait for more.)

Hee! I adore your assessment. For some reason I'm fascinated with the idea of Alfred/Krolock though I haven't been able to explain myself why. No doubt at least partly because of the things you just said. I keep wanting to write a fic about them, but haven't got started, probably because I haven't got a coherent idea to start with. Let's see if this should inspire any more. (And yeah, incidentially, I remember I've still got something I've promised to translate for you. Oops. Now that most of my classes are over and I should get around to independent work again, perhaps translating a story will finally happen instead...)

So do I. :) (Btw, I also find that Kevin Tarte and Max Niemayer have quite a good chemistry on the Hamburg pro-shot. A pity that neither of their voices really fit the role.)

I think that with Kevin Tarte I was a bit too distracted by his voice and the fact he's... well, flaming like a cupcake. I prefer my VKs to be of the more predatory part, though I admit the first act finale was his best bit.

*eyedart* And I'm planning to use my Fyrie-less time to edit more of the RP. Then she promised to put it on a timeline of sorts, because so far we've got threads ranging from 300 BC (Thanatos meets Malak) to 1920, and quite detailed plans for the Second World War.

*coughs discreetly* Like we don't both have a bucketload of stuff to do ;)

Yes, Tarte's flamingness is a bit distracting, too. As are his hands, at least in Gott ist tot. I like some parts of his acting, but I have to be in the right mood for him. He does a good 1st Act Finale, though.

Hee, I try to wait patiently till you have time to get it done, but oh, I'd really love to get to read it. :D

fyrie saw this and started catalogue-ing chronological events :) So it's possible that we'll have the first installment up soon.

Wheee! That would be terrific! And distract me nicely from my studying duties (which I may be bound to all summer, so an occasional distraction would be useful). ;)

Watch your words ;) Then again, we've been addicted to this soap opera for almost 7 months now...

[valancystar.livejournal.com]

Hee. And I'm good at getting addictions. :D
