i saw spamalot on broadway this past weekend and GUYS it was so good!! i laughed so hard i had tears running down my face, and i loved all the characters so much. here's sir galahad!!
Tell me any BOAK related hcs that you have on the mind. Like any at all. I’ve been trying to think of a hc but I’ve honestly forgotten half of my hcs for this show djdndndndndnd
woo ok so here are a few just off the top of the dome:
Kassim made all the necklaces for the group. Based on the fact that Brandon O'Neill made all of them for the original show.
Babkak and Omar are really close. Babkak's a good companion for when Omar gets overly anxious or overwhelmed. He's super laid back so he balances out Omar's anxiety.
Omar is in charge of cutting everyone's hair when they get too shaggy.
Kassim calls Babkak "Babs" when he's really drunk, which Babkak finds amusing.
Babkak gives really good hugs (soft).
They're all queer. I see Babkak as aroace, Omar as gay, Kassim as bi, and Al as bi with mostly a preference for women. (sometimes it can fluctuate based on the actors in Aladdin's case). I see Agrabah as a (mostly) accepting fantasy world, so you can be out and not have to worry, save for maybe the guards.
Kassim actually really likes stealing. He likes the thrill. He's also the one who comes up with most of their schemes.
Babkak is in charge of mending their clothes and patching them up if the others get hurt.
Aladdin is surprisingly solitary. He loves his friends, but he spends a lot of time alone. His favorite spots to just chill by himself are on top of buildings.
Omar's estranged father is a member of the guards. He avoids the guards at ALL COSTS because of this.
Babkak spends half of the time zoning out/thinking about other things and just chilling, which is why he is always snapping out of it and yelling food names out. Relaxed king.
Kassim is the leader of their quartet, but others tease him saying "no Aladdin's the leader" just to make him angry.
Babkak and Kassim founded their group, adding Aladdin later and Omar last. They all met when they were kids.
Even though Kassim and Babkak make little pointed remarks at each other in the show, it's not because they dislike each other. It's actually because they're really close friends and that's how they communicate. I feel like they have a lot of inside jokes.
I have loads more, these are just the ones I could type up now! I can type up more if you wanted more specific stuff :))
My half of an art trade I did with one of my very good friends! He loves Tangle from the Sonic comics so here's Tangle in Rooftop Run from Sonic Unleashed!
Highlights of my night at Aladdin last night (post show I always go chat with the actors for a bit):
Milo and I wearing almost matching earrings (wearing one dangly earring is queer culture really) and him saying he might make an earring like mine for Kassim (i wear a dangly scimitar sword on a hoop).
Zach telling me I draw his hair perfectly and that he thinks he looks hot in my art (he deserves it).
Brad giving me a big hug and wishing me Happy Birthday (love that king) and thanking me for supporting the show for so long.
The three of them getting excited over my art and asking about how I made it sparkly.
DDR handing me a card as soon as he walked out of the stage door.
Brad Milo and Zach admiring my Agrabah fit and buttons I made. One button said "Ask me about my addiction" with the genie lamp and the other said "honorary Babkak standby" which Zach loved.
Zach losing it over my Babkak Halloween costume I made (that I haven't posted here yet but I guess I should since I'm really proud of it).
Amazing night, always a great time seeing that amazing show AND getting to bring friends along to see it too!
