Dmitri's beloved dad whom he loves and admires being killed by the tsarist government and him still having a crush on Anastasia, going to a Romanov parade, and bowing is an “inconsistent and unnecessary” addition to the story TO YOU

I have a whole ass series of automatically created backstory headcanons I barely had to think through based on Dmitri's cynical and apolitical vibes that perfectly explains it

When did we all collectively agree that Dimitri’s last name was sudayev

DON’T tell me it’s because he’s based off of a real life guy with the same name the only source I could find for that is a fake-ass article from the fucking Military Wiki that has straight-up fanfic about him helping the actual real Anastasia escape

I saw a post complaining about musical Dimitri so I want to know what is your favourite things about him in the musical?

sigh... musical dmitry... giggling kicking my feet twirling my hair thinking about him. i'm always daydreaming about him. if you saw me on the street irl i almost guarantee you'd catch me lost in some variation of musical dmitry thoughts.

there are so many things i could say here, anon. his redemption arc™ from a selfish liar to the most noble and self-sacrificing slavic sadboy i've ever seen? his angsty daddy issues backstory? his bewitching silly goose ways? how he lets One Woman completely change the trajectory of his life? how he falls into an emotional spiral about it? the way he Knows Who He Is and is very self assured in his identity, and helps anya do the same? how his identity is so intertwined with his home? his role as a Storyteller™? etc????

but for this ask today i'm going to focus on how gentle he is. i don't think gentleness is something that comes very easy to this dmitry. he lost his father at a young age, as we know. he was alone on the streets and had to fight to stay alive. he cons people for a living. by the time we meet him he's very cynical about the world and doesn't really trust anyone, other than vlad. mostly he just relies on himself and can't really count on anyone else. when he meets anya, a cryptic girl who is a bit off but in need of help, his first response is to scoff and send her away, since unstable people are too risky to deal with. he's capable of being charming, but he uses this skill to get what he wants.

a lesser character with an identical backstory would be gruff and unfeeling, but... this dmitry isn't. in spite of it all, he's so hopeful, though he buries it deep. his most treasured story is about a girl he met at a parade. he is known as the 'prince of petersburg,' has a relationship with everyone on the streets. in the hartford production he calls an older woman in the ensemble 'little mother.' he rescues vlad, a complete stranger, from a firing squad. and though he turns her down at first, he agrees to get anya to paris. he protects what's his own.

you can tell it takes him a while to learn gentleness. whether it's physical or verbal, especially around anya, he is still always on the defensive for a while. fight first, think later. she's really jumpy and skittish but he doesn't start changing his behavior until they fight the ruffians together. he flags all of his movements around her, making sure she knows his intentions first. he talks about his father. he gives her a music box because he thinks it'll make her smile. because she 'earned it.' when she's crying after a nightmare he tells her a sweet, simple story from his childhood.

the train scene is the best example of this shift-- when she cowers after the gunshot goes off, he is completely lost about what to do. 'calm her down,' vlad tells him, but how is he supposed to do that? she's sobbing into his shoulder and he's frozen, panicking, because what is he supposed to do here??? but he shushes her and holds her anyway. he does his best. and it works. in such a tense situation where they very well could be shot next he is so so gentle and patient with her. and by the time we reach iacot in paris, he knows exactly how to comfort her. he learned how to hold her gently and speak in a soft voice. how softness can ground someone in need.

to summarize: musical dmitry is... really soft? and softness/gentleness isn't really something you see in the conman archetype very often. he is so special.

I'm really confused about the musical's changes to the Dimitri & Anastasia relationship. Yes, they couldn't keep the Dimitri saves her child aspect. But they could keep the part where he worked at the palace and suggest that he and Anya had known each other as children and mayne liked each other, like an echo of the original movie which suggested that Dimitri probably had a little crush on her when he was small. But no. Instead we get : Oh they saw each other once as a kid at a parade and he greeted her in the crowd and their eyes met leading to a love at first sight that lasted their whole lives... Wtf seriously ? It's rubbish ! Especially since Dimitri lost a lot of his anti-hero substance in the musical. Yes, he's still a scammer but he's much more tender and smooth than his film counterpart ! For what ? Again, transform Anya's personality, I can still understand, to make her more like a Disney princess. But why Dimitri ?! My god... the musical is great to listen to and the character of Gleb fantastic, but they massacred my darling Dimitri. I love Gleb, but facing Dimitri from the original film, there is no match. But against the Dimitri of the musical, yes, Gleb wins. Why every time a villain in love is created, people prefer to invent a bland love interest ?!

Anastasia O Musical (Anastasia The Musical) — Brazil Production 2022-2023)

These two are probably one of the best Anya and Dmitry we've ever had on stage. I wish everyone could see their chemistry together 'cause is mesmerizing ♥

(Giovanna Rangel as Anya and Rodrigo Garcia as Dmitry)

Where do people get the idea that musical Dmitri and animated movie Dmitri are different? They are both rude as heck to Anya at the beginning that is part of the appeal besties that he gets better and sweeter. Maybe musical Dmitri is a bit more sarcastic but then again I don't see that either, animated movie Dmitri is being sarcastic right at the very end when Anya accidentally hits him again, so…?

I mean, if anything the only difference is that animated movie Anya gave as much as she got in terms of bickering and bantering, whereas musical Anya was relatively more passive, making Dmitri seem “meaner” by comparison, but even then it is not that much I literally don't get it.

#anastasia fox #anastasia 1997 #anastasia broadway #anastasia musical #just admit you ship Anya with someone else in the musical but you still have feels for your first crush movie Dmitri and that makes you feel #guilty as heck lmao #dmitry sudayev #dimya

From the time Anya blamed herself for Dmitry’s lies to the time she knew better.

#Anya Romanov #Dmitry Sudayev #Tessa Sunniva van Tol #Milan van Waardenburg #Anastasia the musical #NOT D*mya I cannot stop you from tagging it d*mya but it isn't #One of the few arcs she goes through is realizing that it's his fault she's enmeshed in this scheme #'I wasn't dishonest' is such a banger of a line.#Kat edits #'I hate you for that' because she is DONE with his stupid games.#He can't talk his way out of it.#Anastasia de Musical #Anastasia Netherlands #She should've stayed mad.#The fact her grandmother has to leverage Anya's desperation for love and family to get her to forgive Dmitry ... oof.#Side note this was an incredible cast and I love them.#Her Anya is so good.#Also a little bit I just like the colors of these scenes together.#kat gifs #kat creates #After realizing he can't charm Anya he throws a fit to the empress ... charming!

Here’s a quick Dimya one-shot I wrote today about if they went on a family vacation! I haven’t finished anything I’ve written for fun in a while so it’s good to feel at least a little accomplished lol

“Do you two have your luggage ready? The vehicles are pulled up to the front!” Sophie called from outside the bedroom door.

“Dimitri will take it down!” Anya replied as she attempted to shove her suitcase closed. “If this will get closed,” she grumbled through her teeth.

“Do you really need to take all of that?” Dimitri teased, inspecting the somewhat small suitcase that was crammed with fancy outfits and who knew what else.

“Apparently I do, if I don’t want to be a disgrace to the rest of my family. That’s what Sophie’s facial expression said when I had only packed one outfit for each day,” Anya huffed, straddling the suitcase and continuing to grunt and mutter Russian curses at it. “If I can’t close it by sitting on it, then—“

Dimitri chuckled and knelt in front of her, easily pushing the suitcase closed with one hand and latching it with the other. “There,” he said with a gentle smile, patting her knee.

Anya glared. “Do you really need to show off your muscles every chance you get?” Dimitri’s eyes gleamed with amusement as he leaned in closer, putting a hand back on the suitcase to support his weight.

“Apparently I do, if I don’t want you to grumble at anything other than me,” he replied smoothly. Anya’s eyes dropped from his teasing gaze to his lips, which were grinning slyly at her. A rosy flush graced her cheeks when she met his eyes again.

“You always get quiet when you’re thinking about kissing me. Is that what you’re thinking about now?” He cupped her cheek in his palm and brushed her cheekbone with his thumb.

She nodded, her eyelids feeling heavy as her head rushed with feelings and fantasies of passionate kisses. “Mhm.”

“Then why don’t you just do it?” His thumb glided across her lips.

“Okay.” Anya closed the gap between them and kissed Dimitri deeply, taking his face in both of her hands, soon letting one wander into his hair and play with the hair in that one spot on the back of his head between his ears that she knew he liked —really liked— which is why he had to pull away.

“Hey,” he said tenderly, although slightly hoarsely, “I think we better get going, don’t you?”

“Well, I guess so.” The blue in Anya’s eyes somehow seemed more intense than before, making Dimitri a little weak in the knees as he stood and offered his hand to his stunning wife. She took it and smoothed out her clothes, then gasped. “DIMITRI!”

“What?!”

“I forgot to pack my pajamas!” She rushed to her dresser.

“Anya…you’re not going to fit them in there. Why don’t you just use my extra set?” Dimitri liked seeing her in those more than any of her silk sets, anyway.

Anya grinned mischievously. “Just don’t tell Sophie.”

Dimitri feigned disgust. “Why would I tell anyone what you wear to bed?”

She huffed and shoved her suitcase into his arms, which elicited a pained grunt from him. “I don’t know, you tell me.” She scooped up her dog Pooka into her arms and headed for the door.

“I’ll tell you that you bruised my ribcage with that thing!” He complained.

Anya glanced back with the least believable look of sympathy Dimitri had ever seen. “Come on, baby, we have a vacation in the English countryside to get to!” She teased, their banter continuing all the way to the car and into the ride.

Thanks for reading!!
