This Is So True...

#I was named after a fictional character

#my mother's favourite heroine

#but I think naming my kid Rudolf or Luke/Lukas is not going to raise too many question 😂

#Or Pierre

Alright today's question. could you get away with naming your kid after your favourite blorbo yes or no

And what I mean is would it work both as a name for an actual child and is it a common actual name or is it something more obscure. And is it from a media where people won't recognize where you got the name depending on whether or not that's a good or bad thing

On the parentage of Esmeralda

SO, we know that in the Notre Dame De Paris, Esmeralda isn't the kidnapped daughter of Paquette (La Chantfleurie), since Paquette isn't in the musical and also Esmeralda doesn't have her amulet with the baby shoe on her. Which begs the question; who are her parents supposed to be?

Esmeralda does not look like Clopin's gang, even if Phoebus calles her "mon ange noir" I still see Esmeralda as a white-ish girl (thank you casting committee). With that in mind I suggest that she is in fact NOT a gypsy, but got accepted into the gypsy tribe because they knew her mother. Well then, who was she?

Allow me to present my theory on that. For those who watched the musical Don Juan, they will remember the girl called "Belle Andalouse", the dancer at the tavern, with whom Don Juan spent the night and then left behind, even though she wanted him to stay.

(Proof ^^)

Now then, what does Esmeralda tell Phoebus about her parentage? Only that her mother (!) was a Spaniard (!!) who told her about Andalousia (!!!).

(Proof ^^)

So, here's my theory: after Don Juan seduced La Belle Andalouse, she became pregnant, and lost her job at the tavern, maybe because she had to stop dancing, maybe because they didn't have paid maternity leave, or maybe because they had the same policy as Monsieur Madeleine in his factory. Who knows.

So the Andalusian Fantine loses her job, and, in my theory, meets the gypsies. How, I do not now. Maybe she was seeking shelter and they took her in. Maybe she was kind to them earlier, and they remembered. Anyhow, Clopin decides to take her in, and they bond. Soon after, Baby Esmeralda is born, and Andalousian Fantine goes back to dancing. Gypsies are a tolerant folk, and they happily accept a good dancer. So, Belle Andalouse travels with them, as does Baby Esmeralda.

Somewhere among the road Belle Andalouse, sadly, dies, and so we are left with Esmeralda entrusted to the care of Belle Andalouse's good friend Clopin, as seen in "Esmeralda, tu Sais"

(Proof ^^)

Here again, Clopin confirms that the girl who bore Esmeralda was Andalousian.

Bonus: I think this theory also explains why Esmeralda was irresistible to every man in a 5-mile radius; her father was none other than the most charming Don Juan!! ;)

dere you go

#Rudolf being Tod's little doll 😂

#just YEETING him around

#imagine Tod violently throwing him around only to fix his jacket during Rudolf's part

not to be [redacted] on main but i can't stop thinking about shanghai elisabeth and specifically lukas mayer's and dennis hupka's height difference. like,,, there's a good head+ difference there. and I know in 92 we kind of had the size difference of andy being tiny skinny breakable but a REAL todolf height difference is soooo fascinating to me. I wish more than anything for them to be in a real production because can you imagine lukas!tod manhandling his tiny little rudolf around?? I'd go crazy
