FMF 15: 24 March 2017

Hey guys and welcome back to another Fandom Music... Monday? Wait...

So yeah, I had a hard time keeping track of what day it was over Spring Break. Sorry about that. Was supposed to leave for home Tuesday (which felt like a Friday), but that got delayed due to car troubles. I actually ended up leaving Wednesday (which felt like a Saturday) and spent the rest of the week at home with little to no concept of a typical week. Friday sneaked stealthily past me, and it was Saturday night in bed before I realized I hadn't done a FMF. I typed up the whole blog Sunday night, but accidentally clicked away before I posted. So here I am back in my dorm room te-typing up my FMF/FMM.

Back in FMF 6, I highlighted the Count of Monte Cristo animatic series by Ink Potts. I have recently come into another song related to CoMC, though this particular song is only in the Russian version of the musical. Nevertheless, it's a pretty good song, and it's done in a style very similar to Ink Potts' style. So without further ado, I present "Who Are You, Count?" by StupidFlyingXXFOX.

In said animatic, Albert and Valentine (son of Mondego and daughter of Villefort respectively) confront the Count, pleading with him to reveal his true nature to them and the others at the ball. The animatic as a whole is wonderfully crafted, and there's a bit about three-fourths in which is slightly reminiscent of Ink Potts' "Hell to Your Doorstep." As a tribute, Ink Potts' had their OCs featured prominently throughout the animatic. FlyingFox has also made an animatic for the Russian-only song "The Servant and the Thief." (Is that one really a song? Eh. The animatic contains a song at any rate.) So go check out their channel! And if you haven't watched Ink Potts' animatics for the Count of Monte Cristo, then what are you waiting for? I'm sure you'll enjoy them! (I mean, at this point in my FimFic career, if you're reading this then you've probably found me through History Lesson. There are a couple thematic similarities between the History-verse and CoMS...)
