Title: Belladonna Melodrama - Charming Disaster (Song)

Media: Song

Approx length: 5min 21s

Where to find it: Charming Disaster on Bandcamp

What is it, in summary?: Belladonna Melodrama tells the story of Alexander and Isabella, two lovers immersed in intrigue and danger from the plans of mysterious secret societies conspiring in the shadows for unknown nefarious purposes. The narrative builds suspense until a melodramatic climax that spells tragedy for the star-crossed couple.

What do you love about it?: I love, well, the melodrama. The building suspense without really knowing why all this is happening, the realization that some people are more involved in the conspiracies than they first let on, the tension that develops between the lovers, the heart-breaking denoument... It's an intense story in a 5-minute song.

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: I'd love to see backstory: exploration of how Isabella and Alexander first found each other, what Alexander's father shared or kept secret from Alexander while on his deathbed, how involved Isabella may have been in that, how much Isabella knew/what her true motivations and feelings were... I think it would be best in the spirit of the song not to definitively answer too much about the conspiracies and the goals of the organizations behind them, but I'd love to see more about the characters' own beliefs and emotions and drives while being manipulated by those in control of the secrets within secrets.

Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?: Nope, it's just the one song.

Content warnings: Conspiracies, murder, violence, betrayal
