Delirious, Middle-Of-The-Night Review of Moulin Rouge (+Update)
OK! HELLO! So I got to see Moulin Rouge on the 21st (today, technically) and I gotta give you my honest review. I am IN LOVE with this musical!! All I knew originally was that it was about hookers and I was excited for it in a… different way but OH. MY GOD. The music was perfection, the casting was absolutely spectacular, and don’t even get me started on the costumes or lighting. UGH!! I am head over heels for the man that played Christian and the JD vibes I got from that man. And my favorite song, El Tango De Roxanne, did NOT disappoint at all! Honestly, if you can see it you absolutely HAVE to! Annnyways, I’ve been on a whirring high at the hours of 10:50 on - 11:30 pm, so every time I’m struck with inspiration I try to wrap up my Myth May stuff. For June, I’m gonna be mass posting movie reviews (and maybe a book) for pride. It’ll be one for each week (so 5) and it should be out sometime next week. Thanks for the patience you all have had with me! Have a wonderful morning/afternoon/evening/night!

EL TANGO DE ROXANNE
CHAPTER ONE
Summary: Luke believes that somehow fate will bring you two together, but will other problems collide prevent it from coming true?
Warnings: small angst, unrequited love, pining, lovesick!luke, toxic relationship (not with luke), manipulative oc, tension, jealousy.
author's note: i know this not accurate to the pjo show or moulin rouge but be patient, it will all connect soon my darlings! this is my first actual fic! please lmk if there's any mistakes and your honest opinions on it.
one-sided love is one of the emotionally painful things a teenager can experience, but for demigods, it's nothing compared to the battles and quests they have to go through within their lives. though for luke castellan, he isn't currently facing any chimera or minotaur. the real monster for him is the one sat on the athena table, felix greenwood.
luke knew that annabeth was a daughter of athena, you could definitely tell by her hardworking strength but whenever he saw felix walk into cabin 6, it just didnt seem right. instead he would just vision a giant pit opening from the ground, fire and smoke erupting from it, and felix happily jumping in. it seems more fitting. luke watched as an aggravating smile came upon felix's face as his male siblings gloat over what has no importance to luke. however he notice felix's eyes occasionally observe one certain table in the distance, the ares table.
the children of ares are known to have feelings of anger, hatred, and bloodlust up to the point where they'd start physical fights. but you had always seemed guarded and tactile, whenever making a move or strategy during capture the flag, nobody would never know what you had done until somehow your already nearby the opponents flag. they never knew about the fiery rage boiling inside of you, bursting to get out.
however, everyone knew of your fondness towards felix, members of the camp adored and wished for a connection like yours. wherever you went, he was always within proximity. which for everyone else seemed charming, but luke truly doubted it.
luke felt cursed, not just by the gods, but for the predicament he's in. you have bewitched him in a way that no mystical creature ever can. he could even be dead in a grave, 6 feet below earth but he would still find a way to crawl back to you. luke admits that he is a romantic, believing that if your not with your true loved one for the rest of your life then what other purpose do you have than to lay down and accept the fate of death? he would destroy himself for you if it meant being in your loving gaze. but what he didn't know is that you were already crumbling due to the standards of your current love.
eating a cluster of cherries for breakfast, you look across at your siblings. you occasionally give input to the conversation, but words spoken by another repeat in your head.
"babe we didn't ask for you opinion, i love you but please just stay quiet for me."
you would always ignore his responses, at first they were subtle and not very often, but now it seems as if a censor inside of felix has now just unexpectedly been switched off. but after every argument or disagreement he would always come back, but only with gifts or manipulation, never a apology. somehow you would always be the blame or the reason. once, when you and him were sat along the sparkling lake together late at night, you asked him what it is that makes him love you.
"your hot and someone i can always talk about my problems too, i trust you."
if this is what love is supposed to feel like, you don't want it. people think love is something extraordinary, something that can last forever and withstand anything. but the love that you have with felix, it cracked and shattered ages ago, you just don't know where to run to.
you feel yourself getting disinterested with the conversation your siblings are having, and unconsciously gaze around. but something catches your eye, or rather someone. you feel as if your eyes are locked into places with his. while luke feels as if his heart has stopped beating, you feel as if you recognize him, brain muddled trying to pinpoint his face from your memory. maybe he's the new camp member everyone is talking about? you overheard that he was placed in the hermes cabin since he hadn't been claimed yet.
eyes still gazing into his, luke feels as if his face is on fire. chris clears his throat as he realizes that the conversation has suddenly became one sided, he then notices where luke's diverted attention has gone. a bright grin grows on chris's face as he aggressively nudges him in the arm.
"dude! oh my gods you have to go and speak to her! you've been waiting for this chance since like what- 3 years now!"
luke slowly nods while keeping eye contact with you, rising from his seat. he feels as if the gods have answered his prayer, everything moving in slow motion as his chance has finally landed in front of him. luke then hears the painful sound of a bell. he actually gets the temptation to grab you and pin you down, sat next to him so this opportunity doesn't dissappear. but we don't always get what we want. his mind can't actually tell if the crackling he hears is the sound of his heart aching even more as he notices felix striding over towards you or from the fire used for the offerings. surrendering, he makes his way over to the camps, chris giving a him sympathetic pat on the back.
you notice felix with egoistic look on his face making his way over to you, but with firmness, you walk straight past him. you can already tell he must have a dumbfounded look on his face based on the giggles and laughs you can hear from behind you, mostly coming from either his or your siblings, maybe even both. strolling by, you notice the same boy who seemed so fixated on you with his friend. looking behind you as you walk past, you check him out. he is quite attractive, somewhat of a muscular build, brown eyes and black hair.
little did you know that your glance back at him nearly gave him a heart attack. he had a plan to save you, whether it seemed wrong or right he wanted to help you realize that love can be beautiful if it's experienced with the right person.
you knew that from the way he was looking at you he definitely didn't want to be your friend, but he didn't want to be your enemy either.

Ask Game!
I'm always wanting to talk about Ewan McGregor so I came up with an idea for an ask game! This is my first time making one of these so it will be a learning experience 😅
Reblog this post if you want me to tell you what Ewan character I think you are in your ask box! It might be based on your blog, your personality (if we've interacted before), or just plain vibes!
Another one! Also, I 100% agree with the person who said this is them but reversed 🤭 like you KNOW that Christian is the one waking Satine in the middle of the night to ask her these questions and she's just used to it by now 😁
My boy has exactly one braincell and it's all spent on loving Satine. 😚 You can't convince me this man isn't a puppy cosplaying as a human 🤭 Your honor, may I submit an additional one?
Satine: What do you normally do while I'm gone?
Christian: Wait for you to get back 🥺

SFW Alphabet: Christian (Moulin Rouge!)
I was inspired to make one of these thanks to @parvulous-writings 😁 This is based on the movie version of Christian and it was really fun to imagine how I think he would act. I can totally see myself doing this again with a different character. Also, shoutout to @palfriendpatine66 and @elysabeththequeene for helping me when I got stuck 🫶. @elysabeththequeene writes a lot of Moulin Rouge fanfic btw and they're amazing! Tell me what y'all think!
A - Affection (How affectionate is he? How does he show it?)
If you look up the word affectionate in the dictionary there's just a picture of Christian. The man is SUPER affectionate! He would like nothing more than to always be within arms reach of you. As far as showing it, anything goes as long he can touch you. He likes giving and receiving subtle touches like letting your legs rest on each other while sitting or brushing hands when walking past the other.
B - Best Friend (What is he like as a best friend? Where does the friendship start?)
Christian is a very supportive and present friend. He values your opinion and asks you for advice or to read over his writing. The two of you could talk for hours about nothing in particular. You just enjoy spending time together no matter where or when. The friendship started when Toulouse invited you to have dinner with him and his friends. You and Christian didn't talk a whole lot that night but you felt a spark which only grew the more you hung out.
C - Cuddles (Does he like to cuddle? How does he cuddle?)
Of course he loves to cuddle! After a long day of work, he looks forward to decompressing by tangling his limbs in yours. He's fine with any cuddle position and especially loves laying in your lap while you stroke his face or hair.
D - Domestic (Does he want to settle down? How is he at cooking, cleaning, etc.?)
100% he wants to settle down though he's not skilled at cooking or cleaning. However, he doesn't expect you to pick up his slack. He's willing to learn so he can take care of you.
E - Ending (If he has to break up with his partner, how would he do it?)
Christian is a sensitive soul so if he had to break up with you it would tear him apart. He would agonize over the decision but ultimately would tell you face to face in private and be as gentle as possible. He would try to stay composed but would probably get misty-eyed seeing you hurt. Once he was alone, he would break down.
F - Fiance (How does he feel about commitment? Does he wanna get married?)
He is not afraid of commitment whatsoever and takes it very seriously. He is completely loyal to you and definitely wants to marry you. He's just waiting for the perfect moment to pop the question. He wants it to be magical!
G - Gentle (How gentle is he both physically and emotionally?)
Christian is the most gentle man you've ever been with. This gentleness extends to all living beings, not just the person he is dating, which endears you even more to him. He is very considerate and does things like shield you from the rain even it means he gets wet, or massage your feet after a tiring work day. Emotionally, he is great listener and always wants you to feel safe talking to him about your troubles.
H - Hugs (Does he like hugs? How often does he do it and what are they like?)
Christian is a hugger for sure! Greetings, goodbyes, comfort, celebration, you name it, he does it any chance he gets. He likes to engulf you in bear hugs and always rubs your back before pulling away. His body is soft so his hugs feel like you're sinking into a pillow.
I - I Love You (How fast does he say the "L" word?)
Pretty quickly, nor does he try to hide when he falls in love with you. He wears his heart on his sleeve. Once he knows that he loves you, he doesn't have a problem saying it.
J - Jealousy (How jealous does he get? What is he like when jealous?)
He's not an especially jealous man. He's very secure in his relationship with you and trusts you entirely. If he ever does feel a twinge of jealousy it's usually because one too many wealthy suitors have flirted with you. He knows that you can have someone more rich and successful than he is and he wonders if you'd be happier with someone who could give you the life he wishes he could. Luckily, it's not difficult to reassure him that your heart belongs to him alone.
K - Kisses (What are his kisses like? Where does he like to kiss you? Where does he like to be kissed?)
His kisses are passionate and a bit inept. He is new to the whole love thing after all. His lips are silky soft and he always kisses you like you're water in a desert no matter how brief the kiss. He loves to cup your cheeks and kiss your forehead. His favorite place for you to kiss him is, well, his lips lol.
L - Little Ones (How is he around children?)
He's very good with children and they pretty much flock to him! He would love to be a father one day.
M - Morning (What are mornings like with him?)
Mornings are a quiet affair. He wakes up early when he's working on a show and gets ready for the day as quiet as possible so as not to wake you. You wake up anyway, if just to give him a sleepy "have a good day" before falling back into slumber. When he doesn't have to rush off to rehearsal then you enjoy coffee and the morning paper together.
N - Night (How are nights spent with him?)
If mornings are quiet then nights are the exact opposite. The two of you make a mess in the kitchen while cooking dinner and singing all the while. Sometimes, you catch the latest moving picture at the theatre or dance the night away at the Moulin Rouge. When it's time for bed, you catch each other up on the day's events while snuggled close. You often awake alone in the middle of the night to find Christian frantically typing away on his typewriter, desperate to get his sparks of inspiration on paper before they disappear. You kiss him on the cheek and he guides you to sit on his lap while he writes. A cute gesture which never works well for long.
O - Open (When does he open up about himself?)
To reiterate, Christian wears his heart on his sleeve. He doesn't really have any secrets. If you want to know anything about him, just ask, and he'll be happy to answer. He's also a great conversationalist so he volunteers information about himself pretty naturally.
P - Patience (How easily angered is he?)
He's not quick to anger at all. Since he's a writer, he'd rather use words to solve conflicts.
Q - Quizzes (How much does he remember about you?)
Everything! Not just the things you tell him directly either. He pays close attention to what you say and do. You're constantly surprised by the little ways he brightens your day all because of a random comment he remembers you making .
R - Remember (What's his favorite memory with you?)
It's impossible for him to choose his favorite memory with you for they are all dear to him. One memory that holds particular fondness for him though is from early on in your friendship. He was working on a song and softly singing it to himself. You were sitting next to him and you laid your head on his shoulder like it was the most natural thing to do. You said you liked the feeling of his voice vibrating. Your touch made his heart feel like it would burst out of his chest. He knew in that moment that you were going to have a special place in his life.
S - Security (How protective is he?)
He has an average level of protectiveness. Of course he doesn't want his loved ones to be hurt or taken advantage of. If he feels like that is happening then he'll do what he can to remedy the situation.
T - Try (How much effort does he put in?)
For Christian, there's no such thing as too much effort. He's a sincere man who loves wholeheartedly. He would walk a thousand miles on his hands just to see you smile.
U - Ugly (What are his bad habits?)
He needs to dial back on the absinthe.
V - Vanity (How concerned is he with his looks?)
Not very. His looks are important to him only as much as they affect you. If he knows that he's going to see you then he primps and preens so you'll hopefully like what you see. (You always do)
W - Whole (Would he feel incomplete without you?)
What is a singer without their voice? Or a house without a roof? That is Christian without you. You are the very air he breathes.
X - Xtra (Random headcanon)
He likes when you read to him. Even when he's taking a bath, he'll ask you to sit with him and read a story.
Y - Yuck (Something he doesn't like in general or in a partner)
He doesn't like pessimists. He's a very optimistic person and people who constantly tear down others' dreams or can't find the good in anything aren't people he associates with.
Z - Zzz (What is a sleep habit of his?)
He receives a lot of inspiration from his dreams and keeps a dream journal.
I hope you enjoyed this! Anything you agree or disagree with? Let me know! I love talking about Ewan's characters!
Started working on something for Christian from "Moulin Rouge!" while listening to music on shuffle and the song Children of the Revolution came on 😆 perfect coincidence
