@ - I always wondered about the Bible. Where's the dinosaurs? Where's evolution? Where's the explanation of the solar system? Where's the details about the sun and moon and gravity?! WHERE IS SCIENCE?!?! I grew up reading science books and all kinds of things. I didn't have access to a computer and Google was barely a thing--no real information. So I read and thought a lot. Couldn't ask; I was terrified I was going to Hell for Questioning
Please check out my fanfic, Listen I had the exact same thought of it. To me it made no sense that God destroyed everything and started from scratch like three times honestly as a kid I wasn't afraid of hell because again I wouldn't understand why it existed and exactly what criteria you have to have to get there, or how it works, or why it's torture. I just knew it made the last scene of Don Giovanni look awesome and that it was kind of like the Dark Forest lmao. @ - Same. Except for how extreme it all was, I pretty much didn't know how He'll worked and thought I was probably going, lol. I'm just glad I was too young to sit in and listen to sermons when I was a kid, and instead got to do kid stuff in Sunday School. Ever since leaving that atmosphere, I've become my own person.

Please check out my fanfic, Listenyeah I had no idea how it worked as a kid either. and I didn't understand why Hell was much of a punishment anyway because in my mind it was just a lot of fire around you I'm glad you're out of there though

Then I wondered, what if Hell was actually reqlly cold. Because with fire, you're senses would eventually give up because your skin melts off. But with cold, it sinks into you and even causes your limbs to rot off one at a time. Lmao, I watched a lot of episodes of 1000 Ways to Die and I Should Have Died Me too, tbh. Toxic environment. They would hate me simply for being a tomboy, nevermind that I've cut my hair since middle school and even dyed it *gasp*. And I pierced my ears! Heaven forbid.

Please check out my fanfic, Listenhmm that's true of course being able to Make My Own Hell for Ensemble recently, I've gone for a more psychological approach: Since you're physically thrown in there (in a fiery process involving basically being burned alive) and considered dead to the world outside of you, your magic begins to manifest itself while you're still conscious (magic also pretty much powers it and makes it much bigger inside than it is outside) and it actually heals you- of course, though, while you're never wounded by the fire because of this, you still comtinually feel all its pain- except for one thing. Your magic is basically your soul, and it knows what part of you is most important to you- so the incinerator plays with the magic itself to ensure that part never heals back. (For example, a cat that prided themself on their looks would end up horribly burned on their looks would be thrown into the Incinerator and begin to heal from the burns- except for a lot of their face and limbs to take away their good looks they prided on most, and a cat who had an exquisite sense of hearing would never heal back their ears and their ability to hear). This basically creates the idea that as long as your magic can last, you'll be continually burned and pained but never get a wound from it and you'll never heal back what you needed most, which is a lot of psychological torture right there. Don Giovanni's important part was determined to be the voice he used for his manipulations (this is my only option here otherwise this would no longer be allowed on the forums). Too bad his voicebox was never burned in the first place, effectively leaving him completely unmarked and able to escape... honestly if I went to church I'd just tick everyone off because I'd just be questioning and writing out the logistics of everything mentioned lmao. also because as I said I'm not very feminine at all so they'd probably think of me as some heathen

One punishment never fits all, of course (I remember as a kid not understanding why the Dark Forest was a punishment when it was basically the same as StarClan except for characters) so I'm trying something where your crime really is your punishment in a way. Don Giovanni in and of himself is a mess when it comes to following forum rules. I have to walk the fine line where it's clear how awful he is and keep him in line with his original character, but also not break forum rules. Very difficult.

@redheartofriverclan - I hate when they say all crime is the same. No, it's not, lmao. So it satisfies me when they get what they deserve. I can see how difficult it must be, lmao. Always thinking about how to get his character across without giving too much explicit detail. But you already have a pretty good understanding of who he his, so I think you got it in the bag.

Yeah as a kid I thought there should be a sliding scale of afterlife instead of either StarClan or Dark Forest. It felt too final almost honestly a lot of people are like "the Don is a super complex character, the most complex in the opera" honestly he isn't. he's just a self-entitled (donkey)hole with an anger issue who seems to think everything's some kind of twisted game and does all kind of horrible things for his own pleasure. he pretty much fits all of the seven deadly sins at once. that's about it. everyone else except for Dweeb Ottavio are much more complex than he

It just doesn't exist. If there really were an afterlife, it should be weighed per individual like they did in Egyptian mythology (*gasp* connections). He really isn't complex, lol. It's pretty clear that he is the embodiment of sin. Even poor Leporello gets more complexity than him

Egypt back at it again the Don really only displays anger and glee throughout the opera. Every other character develops and changes- Zerlina and Masetto make up to each other and become a better couple, Elvira begins getting over the Don, Leporello gets better morals and has more empathy, even Ottavio of all people learns maybe he shouldn't push marriage on a woman who just went through psychological torture. The Don stays the same to his bitter end- what else he is is merely projected on by his beholder, otherwise he almost has a hollow few to him.

People want to see the Don as anything other than what I've described him as, it seems. in the last couple of years, possibly due to certain politics but also mostly because people are getting smarter, people are seeming to lean towards the idea that the Don is a plain villain. (Everyone else in the opera, though, is still swaying wildly characterization to characterization.) Honestly, though, as a writer, writing the Don villainously is much more fun than having him be some misunderstood lover or something. His violent, selfish nature and his sheer hamminess makes him just fun to write because he's just so despicable and horrible. He's terrifying, but God he's a hell of a time (pun not intended) to write for.

listen a fanfic by prophet it's weird because he was always supposed to be a villain in the first place but then the romantic era and a ton of male directors were like "nahhhh I don't feel like being a decent human being today" villains are fun. Especially Mozart villains. They may not all be reasonable, but they're all great to write for. I mean, Ensemble has all kinds of villains (brainwashed cats, Don Giovanni as previously mentioned, snake-cat thing who will probably cause a flame war at some point on this site, Cat Stalin, "Make Seville Great Again", lots of antagonistic figures who are only considered somewhat good because of who they're in comparison to, etc). Especially because my favorite tactic for villain introductions is to hide them in plain sight...

another thing: none of the villains seem to like each other (except for, of course, your brainwashed cats, who are completely loyal to the death it seems). So there isn't even a bad side, there's just varying shades of gray from all sides. And the hiding them in plain sight thing is shockingly easy, I've found, despite what you'd think... Villains are just plain fun to write, I don't know.

sometimes I look at it and then I look at the original Magic Flute and I wonder how I managed to get here but honestly that's how things are in real life- villains usually don't like other villains. besides, the villains' personalities don't work well together anyways Also, villains are agents of death in many cases- not always, of course, and you're not going to see the Count or someone killing anyone, but for most of the villains, they can kill off characters- which is honestly somewhat fun to be able to do...

That's basically how it works in Ensemble, if the villains aren't on different planes of plot anyway. Killing off characters is an advantage I have.

it ranges from "symbolic to Tamino's development and provides a satisfying end to the subplot of everyone telling Tamino to stop being like his mother" (note: this isn't his mother dying in the story) to "their character arc has finished and now it's time for them to accept death with dignity in a way that makes their story go full circle" to "nah they're annoying lol"
