Just wanted to draw- so here's Zim in some outfits (half of which are stolen from Dib lmao)
I headcanon that Zim 1: likes layers and/or high collars for the most part (just what he's comfy with in public anyway), but otherwise sleeps in some variation of his underwear basically. 2: he doesn't sleep for very long when he does so he ends up hanging out at clubs- he likes the music and people buy him drinks. And 3: he sometimes steals Dib's clothes (only brand new stuff). He also got a replica of Dib's coat and wears it around like some grandmama-it's-me-Anastasia robe Dib HATESSSS this lmao he's like NO ITS SUPPOSED TO LOOK COOL STOP IT

Okay okay so I am now coherent enough to write a proper comment on chapter 6 of Beyond. Chapter 6 is a swoon-worthy dream of a chapter, I am swept away by the romance and honestly I was kicking my heels from how happy I was reading the whole thing. The imagery in my head was Anastasia in her midnight blue gown (y’know in the animated film where she was meeting her grandmama / empress) and Dimitri dancing and falling in love in a gorgeous ballroom - except its Steve x reader but those were the vibes. Excellent choice on Frank Sinatra’s The Way You Look Tonight, it is the perfect ballroom romance song. Steve is just so tender with reader from him tending to her wound to the way he was just so happy to have her there with him at the ball, to that kiss! That kiss that was for them and not for anyone else! Truly I love this chapter, I loved that Charlie puppy was there, I loved best friend Eddie and how protective and supportive he is, clearly he knows Steve is falling in love and he knows reader will be in good hands. Anyway I am twirling my hair and kicking my heels💕 I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
IM SCREAMING. You ALWAYS ALWAYS have the best comparisons! And Anastasia?! I’m gonna cry. Lol. No one look at me. One of my fav movies. Last chapter it was Beauty and the Beast you referenced and now Anastasia?! Are you trying to kill me? Because it’s working. 🥹😭
Also, AGAIN. Everyone say thank you Myo for the kiss.
But in all seriousness, thank you for always leaving the most lovely feedback. It means the literal world to me and I’m so grateful that anyone would take the time to talk about my little stories. 🥹
I cannot wait to share the next one with you all. I am 99.9% certain you’ll all enjoy. 😏😂🩷🥰

The worst change so far
(According to Ira)
Me: Ok, Ira, let me explain before you freak out.
Ira: I'm not going to freak out.
Me: Ok, but just hear me out. I wanna change your cloak. It's kinda long and-
Ira: YOU AREN'T TOUCHING MY CLOAK. IT'S MINE! MY CLOAK! YOU TAKE EVERYTHING BUT I'M DRAWING THE LINE AT MY CLOAK.
Me: I just want to shorten-
Ira: *Incoherent Bird Noises*

Grandmama, it’s me. Anastasia.
XD
I have wanted to draw this scene since the very first time I read the Wine Shop extra. The other patrons look like they’re bracing for an earthquake.
Day 26 - dark & Day 27 - coat
  “Your Majesty,” said Teleus.
  Gudix behind the bar leaned forward, thinking he’d misheard. Merinus sitting only a few feet away rocked back, knowing he hadn’t.
  Letting the cloak slide from his shoulders, the King of Attolia rose to his feet.
...
  “He was wearing cloth of gold under his cloak. Looked like a statue of one of the old gods come to life. The entire shop dropped to its knees--”
- Megan Whalen Turner, Wine Shop

Maria Nikolaevna and Anastasia Nikolaevna with wounded, November - December 1915
“I am writing to you from the bedroom. Just had tea, the sisters are still sitting at Mama’s. This morning [I] had lessons, and in the afternoon rode with Nastenka. Went to our infirmary with Anastasia, and she took [pictures] of our wounded officers. Two of them have St George’s crosses. The snow is almost all gone, it is so strange to see grass again, and it seems as though Nature made a mistake and thinks that it is Spring already. In the morning I walked with Shura, [we] walked by the guard room, but did not see anyone, hopefully will see them tonight at vsenoshnaya. 
Probably Dmitri [Pavlovich] is doing lots of foolish things and talks [foolishly] too, kiss him for me. The other day an Englishwoman had breakfast with us, she came to Petrograd to establish an English infirmary in Dmitri’s house. We are not really doing anything interesting. I will think of you at Vsenoshnaya, how you are now standing at church, and will pray for you. Nothing more to write, therefore I will end. I kiss you affectionately, like I love you. Your Kazanetz. May Christ be with you. + Regards to all of yours and Kolya.”
- Maria to Nicholas II, 31st October/13th November 1915
“My sweet and dear Papa Darling!
It is very lonesome here without you. We just went to Vsenoshnaya and already had dinner with Mama. The snow melted already but the Gale is blowing with all its strength, and this is not very pleasant. Well, I am starting a new day. In the morning we went to Obednya as usual. Skorikov, Paleny and Kalashnikov were there. Today is the holy day of Kozma and Damian. We rode in the afternoon, then went to the sisters’ Palace infirmary. There was a concert they played the balalaikas, the Tolstoys and many other acquaintances, it turned out very nice. We returned just now.
It was raining, but 4 degrees of warmth and very slippery. I can imagine very well how you have dinner and breakfast and imagine all your companions. I am writing to you and Alexei at the same time. I am hurrying because I now have to do my boring homework. ‘Go to sleep, achievement of fame, all go to sleep!!!’ Olga is resting now, while Maria is winding up the gramophone, this is pleasant. All three sisters smooch you a lot, and I do too of course. 100000 big kisses, your loving loyal and faithful Kaspiyitz. Sleep well +.”
- Anastasia to Nicholas, 1st/14th November
“My dear Sweet Papa!
Heartfelt wishes for Grandmama’s birthday and the wedding anniversary. We had tea at Grandmama’s, and I think will go see her again tomorrow. She is very happy with her trip to Kiev and told us that she visited some infirmary every day. Right now will go riding with Nastenka. Then Anastasia and I will go to our infirmary. Yesterday they brought 7 lower ranks there from the train. Rather seriously wounded, we have not seen them yet. Anastasia is sitting next to me, reading something. I have not seen Nik. Dm. It is rather boring for 2 weeks already. Since they had put a couch in the sisters’ bedroom, it became much cosier. I kiss you and Alexei affectionately. Your Kazanetz. Regards to all. Our arithmetic teacher is healthy again and is coming to [teach] us again.”
- Maria to Nicholas, 13th/26th November

Cody Simpson as Dmitry
DISCLAIMER: I went into this audio knowing that Cody is not a Broadway performer, nor has he been professionally trained to act. I did not expect a replica of Derek Klena and tbh... I wasn’t disappointed. I enjoyed his Dmitry. There is potential here for sure, but if you don’t want to come out disappointed then I recommend keeping in mind that Cody wasn’t hired for his talent. He was hired to bring this show money and help them recoup. With that being said:
Omg I genuinely did not recognize Cody’s voice with that American accent!
He definitely sounds a little robotic throughout. He also sounds nervous during “A Rumour in St. Petersburg” but like he’s definitely trying and doesn’t sound unpleasant?
He seems to grow a lot more comfortable once John (and later Christy!) joins him onstage and his interactions with Vlad feel very natural!
He sounds very mischievous and boyish when describing the con to Vlad and like, it seems like he’s definitely playing Dmitry as younger? 
While I don’t love Dmitry being played as younger, I’m glad Cody is doing it. It seems like a smart decision on his part because he is visibly younger and I feel like it would have definitely sounded more forced if he had tried to play Dmitry’s age up and convince us that he’s almost thirty lol.
LMAO Cody’s Dmitry sounds so unimpressed with Marfa’s acting at first but he’s not mean about it?? Just more like “girl wtf /was/ that??”
He’s literally like "wtf is this vlad i asked for ACTRESSES. AN ANASTASIA. NOT GRANDMAMA, ITS ME ANASTASIA"
Also, Maria Briggs remains perfect as ever.
He’s so done by the end of the audition like literally rushes them out of there and not even trying to hide how unimpressed he is haha he says “Out!” twice but then it sounds like he’s about to say “Get—“ which I don’t believe I’ve heard another Dmitry do tbh?
Cody’s Dmitry overall just sounds so much more wistful throughout? Like he’s very much a dreamer who’s slowly becoming more cynical overtime with how much bs has been thrown his way. He’s also much softer and boyish overall.
His Dmitry also has a softer relationship with Vlad. Vlad feels more fatherly with him and their teasing is reminiscent of that. 
Especially in the scene where they’re talking about their past like they’re just softly teasing each other rather than joking.
Omg okay so when Anya comes in, there’s this really long pause before he finally says, “I’m Dmitry” and like I wonder…? if he did something acting-wise there because 1) the pause is not usually that big and 2) the audience laughs.
The father/son dynamic makes a comeback when Dmitry is like “this isn’t a soup kitchen, Vlad!” and honestly just seems like an exasperated child lol
Not a ton of chemistry with Anya by this point.
He honestly sounds more excited when asking Anya if she’s ready to become Anastasia rather than manipulative.
His “Learn to Do It” was honestly super interesting, a really good highlight, and one of the moments where his Dmitry really shines! 
Cody sounds very fond while singing “a palace by the sea,” as if he’s remembering the little girl he saw at the parade rather than trying to make Anya learn a fact. Even with “charming child’?? It honestly feels like a number where his Dmitry is thinking about 8 year old Anastasia throughout. He’s very present throughout this number, like even though they’re teaching Anya how to be “Anastasia”, he sounds like he’s remembering the real girl behind the facts.
“Like a sinking boat” feels like more of a teasing comment than a critique and it’s cute, ngl.
Also, there was a line flub! He accidentally said “pull yourself together and you’ll pull through it” instead of “something in you knows it” haha <3
When Vlad pulls them together to dance, he just starts like sputtering, “Wha-“
He sounds super impressed and mildly scared after Anya beats up the guys LMAO
When she asks if he wants to see what else she can do, he’s like, “Oh, no!”
“My Petersburg” was the weakest point singing-wise. That being said, it doesn’t sound any worse than expected? He sounds very boyish in it and it seems like he’s trying to have fun with it. That being said, I think the key-change is most jarring in this song because I’m so used to Derek’s belt-heavy version of it.
Also, I think the roboticness + nerves up until this point were because of this song. Because after this number, wow his portrayal smoothens out, he’s more comfortable onstage, his acting is better, and the chemistry with Christy finally comes out!
He genuinely sounds so fond and endearing when talking about Dmitry’s parents. I feel like he must have rehearsed that particular scene a lot, because it actually flowed really nicely! Very wistful.
The chemistry with Christy isn’t the smoothest, but it’s also not a non-existent abomination and I expect they’ll grow into it.
Again, Cody also seems a lot more comfortable post-My Petersburg and the acting, line delivery, and everything feels less robotic.
I think his Dmitry is the most-concerned sounding I’ve heard prior to “Once Upon a December”. He’s very worried about her when she becomes unresponsive.
They literally bicker over getting to Paris! Like he’s not yelling at her at all, they’re legitimately arguing like children and he sounds like he’s trying to calm her down the louder she gets lol
From this point onwards it’s very much a super endearing, best friends-type dynamic!
Omg he doesn’t yell at her at all when she reveals the diamond. He’s just super calm and when she’s like “yA i’ve had it all this time what are you going to do about it???” he’s literally just like. “ok wtf why?”
Before he picks her up to hug her he literally just goes “If you weren’t a girl, I’d— ugh.” AND SPINS HER
He sounds SO excited about the hotel and bathtub LMAO
Also CODY AND CHRISTY CAN HARMONIZE HOLY SHIT
They sound BEAUTIFUL together in “Stay, I Pray You.” Which he also sounds totally destroyed in btw. The whole song is a very good vocal moment for him.
Lol he sounds so exasperated with Vlad’s first class complaining haha
He sounds low-key scared after the gunshots but still tries to comfort Anya really softly :(
He definitely had a stronger portrayal by Act 2. Nerves must have worn off.
HE’S SO SOFT WITH HER DURING AND AFTER HER NIGHTMARE?
COT SOUNDS SO GOOD?
HE’S NOT TRYING TO OUTSING HER AT ALL THEY SOUND GOOD
ITS SO NICE HAVING A DIMYA THAT CAN HARMONIZE AGAIN HOLY SHIT
The Quartet was one of the weaker points but again, he harmonized nicely with everybody.
Omg you can tell he likes “Everything to Win” and he did a great job singing it! Probably his best song acting and singing-wise!
The confrontation with the Dowager Empress was underwhelming tbh, especially because Judy is such a stern Maria and Cody is such a soft Dmitry.
He’s such a melodramatic boi when he tells her to never wave or smile at her again gnfdkls;a
Overall, I felt as if Cody delivered a lot better than I was expecting. He doesn’t have the strongest portrayal but for an untrained actor?? That was good. He also doesn’t try to riff or anything during any of the songs -- he’s singing them properly, really trying, and has a decent grasp on what he wants to do with the character. I’m excited to hear an audio from later this month and others from later in his run because I expect he’ll grow into the role. He’s definitely no Derek but it also wasn’t the dumpster-fire everybody expected and I liked him.
