Elisabeth das Musical - Der Tod x Listener SFW Death Becomes Entranced And Seduces A Lonely Prince
🕑 Added 2024-02-14 23:00:07 +0000 UTC[M4M/GF4M] [Prince! Listener] [Seduction] [Manipulation] [Kissing - no character death, lore here is Death's kisses can kill if it's 'your time' but if it's not they don't but they're still cold and cause temporary frostbite-like symptoms] [TW implies the listener is depressed and has been experiencing suicidal ideation, Death at points advises the listener to kiss him which would kill them, please skip this audio if you think these issues could affect or trigger you and if you are affected by these issues please seek help and contact hotlines in your country. This audio is fictional, Death's attempts to be a voice of suicidal ideation should not be taken seriously nor applied to real life.]
I've been wanting to make this audio for so long. While I've left it ambiguous enough to be enjoyed as an original audio, this character is actually from my favourite musical 'Elisabeth das Musical'. It's a German-language dark queer historical romance where Death (Der Tod) is drawn to those who think about him, in particular it follows the life of Elisabeth, Empress of Austria, and her son Rudolf. The musical does deal with serious mental health topics and some historical events from that time including the rise of fascism so please know that going in, but if you think you can handle such topics then I couldn't recommend the musical enough.
The original 1992 Vienna production is on Youtube with English subtitles, that is my favourite production and means a lot to me as Uwe Kroger as Death is just... perfection to me, very much gender envy and has been a big influence on me and helped me with accepting myself and my gender expression, and his characterisation of Death as this genderfluid, pansexual otherworldly being is just beautiful. And if you enjoy then I'd also recommend the 2005 Vienna production which is also on Youtube with English subtitles mostly for the few extra added song and Serkan Kaya's performance as Lucheni.
For those of you in my Patreon Discord server, I streamed this musical last Sunday and it finally felt like the perfect time to bring this audio to life. And if Kronprinz is still around, I know you were requesting a Der Tod audio for a long time and I hope you're happy with this one. The listener in this audio series takes the place of Rudolf, but you don't need to know anything about the musical to understand these audios. I chose to present them more like my original royalty series audios as Elisabeth das Musical is not very well known outside of mainland Europe and Japan, so I hoped by framing it this way with a photograph of myself cosplaying Death from a couple years ago would entice more people who aren't familiar with the musical.
I love this musical so much, European musicals in general are my biggest interest and if you go searching for them it wont be long until you find my sfw account emptymasks posting too much about them. If you're interested in learning more I have some masterlists and info posts pinned on my emptymasks Tumblr, but also as part of my subathon rewards I am doing a stream on my Twitch explaining about infodumping about European musicals and I've been working on some video essays for years that I hope to get finished this year that will be up on my emptymasks Youtube channel.
Something something if I had a nickel for every time Prince voiced a personification of Death from different fandoms I'd have three nickels.

I’m listening to this during a thunderstorm, and let me tell you: it adds something extra! I love the echo-y effect Prince added. Voice and story are wonderful as always.

So excited to see some English-language Elisabeth content! Thank you so much for making this and very much hoping to see more with this character ☺️
Midnight Whisper
I absolutely love your audios, and something about this one, the manner of speech and cadence and voice effects and tone, are just so relaxing and alluring to me! This is my new favorite! You did such an amazing job, and I can’t wait to watch the musical on YT!
Iceberg
Oh this was such a delightful audio, and ended up being a lot sweeter than I imagined, which was a welcome surprise. I also love the almost echo sound of this one, and I can totally see the influence of Uwe’s der Tod blended with your own flair for the character. The Rudolf POV choice was just perfect too! So glad to see you bringing this character to life through your audio work 🥰
Iris Evan
Awww that's so awesome. I am German so hearing you voicing Der Tod is really like a dream come true! I love it <3

Understandable! Just thought I’d bring it up since I literally had this thought two nights ago and today you posted this. /nm

i might watch someone play it, but i won't play it myself. i don't play dating sims and keep explaining this all the times i keep getting recommended them because i don't understand them as someone who's demiromantic and demisexual i can't get into them or want to date any character in such a short amount of time, and playing a game as myself instead of a character makes me neurodivergent brain upset when none of the dialogue options are what i would say and i've just had a brief look at the game and yeah i'd be uncomfortable with that player character being 'me'. also i can't find trigger warnings for the game anywhere. tldr; playing dating sims makes me uncomfortable so i don't play them and don't like getting told to play them. /nm

Oh no I can feel a new special interest forming /pos (also, if you want to have FOUR knickles I recommend playing A Date With Death on Steam bc I played it recently and could totally hear you voicing the love interest who is, no surprise, Death)
