phantom of the opera + twitter

#phantom stan twitter AU is alive and well #can you actually imagine the chaos unfolding when the chandelier falls #you'd have conspiracy theorists saying that the managers staged it themselves as an insurance thing or something #of course the ballet girls would be all over the tl claiming they saw the ghost do it #you'd have some mysterious acc with 0 followers hopping in on the drama to say the chandelier was 'very old and worn and fell of itself!' #the managers would have to do damage control the next day #the poor opera house PR team wouldn't sleep for days #ugh the insanity of it all #phantom of the opera #poto #poto shitpost #poto twit

not to be about opera again but to be about opera again. as an art form it has the reputation of being super stuffy and something for snobs who don't know how to have fun only but honestly this was one of, perhaps even THE main theatrical entertainment for centuries. i wish people knew how hard these things can go and how engaging they can be. like characters kill and die and fight wars and (almost) commit human sacrifice left and right. characters fall in love they mourn they're ecstatic they cry they're furious it's an extremely dramatic and emotional art form! and i understand that opera does not appear approachable bc of the general conventions of the art form but i promise old works can be fun and engaging if you go watch them with some preparation beforehand (reading the libretto helps) - not to mention not all operas are old bc there are so many modern operas which engage with topical events! also the music slaps.

#le triomphe de trajan (1807) out here calling for a man's execution with this banger: #point de grace pour ce perfide; que tout sons sang coule sur un autel #(no grace for this treacherous man; let all his blood flow on an altar) #this is also annoying to me when people write historical fic and the characters treat the opera as this elitist thing #that they don't know anything about. #you know when they go to the opera reluctantly and then they have no idea what's going on on stage or who the composer is. #which is. very unlikely for anyone with the money to attend an opera in certain opera houses in the 19th c. tbqh #like im more of an expert on paris and vienna idk what it was like in london #but if you were decently (upper) middle class or nobility (esp in paris) you went regularly. this was like a whole social space too #i recently read a fanfic and one of the characters was like 'oh it's in italian. i don't know that' and the other character went like #'it's by a man called donizetti what did you expect' #(this was situated in 19th century london) #like first of all. donizetti was NOT a librettist he was a composer he did not write the text #and second of all. he worked on french operas ?? so did rossini. and spontini. #opera was an incredibly international art form. also bc productions would be performed in different countries all the time #(sometimes changed and/or translated but not necessarily) #and again like i said. this was one of THE main forms of entertainment. people were familiar with its conventions! it was well-liked! #ofc bc of the seating prices it was not very accessible to lower classes most of the time #but lbr most characters that get written into an opera scene in fiction are at the very least decently bourgeois lol #i wish people knew how to properly historicise forms of entertainment whose reputation has changed in the modern era #from what it was a century or more ago #very adjacent to people 'cancelling' old lit bc of 'bad takes' like idk how to tell you this but people thought different back then #completely different world view from what we have today. that does not make lit from that era irredeemable it is just from a diff. time #acknowledging that and reading the text critically but also still enjoying it are things that go tgt here #ok rant over (it is never over) #curry rambles

well everyone now that sparkstember is over i can now devote my energy to being insane in other still sparks-related ways

#planning my next projects #on the one hand glad to not have to get a whole video done in the span of like 2 hours every day #on the other hand it was a fun creative challenge that gave me a sense of purpose. it was fun #but i need to keep myself busy as we descend into winter and ✨seasonal depression✨ #if i dont get it done today over the next couple days im going to make something silly for goofball's upcoming birthday #and then once that's done i dont know. i want to get back to work on my screenplay and try to FINISH IT!! but idk how long that'll take #i also have to finally finish watching that film course i bought oops. maybe ill start it over #and then????????? #i have a vague Idea of a possible short film i could make. that would also be like a kind of prequel to my Main Film Idea #and its something i could actually reasonably do as a short film and its not like insanely big budget like every other idea i have is #and I'm debating abt emailing my old film teacher and being like heyyyyy maybe you could help me make this short film???? #but id want to have this idea way more planned out and written before then. but OUGH WRITING ANOTHER SCREENPLAY??? #WHEN I HAVEN'T EVEN FINISHED MY FIRST ONE??? sigh. #the road to making my Big Great Movie is long and arduous. will we get there. who knows #oh also debating abt writing a letter to those silly guys. but i don't knowwwww #OH lmao i keep forgetting to mention i finally got my passport (it actually came earlier than expected) #so like. goodbye everyone im heading to the sydney opera house on halloween (JOKE i am not that insane. but i wish i could)

Episode 395: Stay on as master of the Old House

It is 1795. In the foyer of the great house of Collinwood, young gentleman Barnabas Collins stands on the staircase, his father Joshua stands on the floor. Joshua forbids Barnabas to marry lady’s maid Angelique on pain of disinheritance; when Barnabas declares he will marry her anyway, Joshua announces that they are no longer father and son. Barnabas on the stairs, Joshua standing on the floor.…

I need to find an opera house with free entry for people under 20 and move to whatever city it's in. The things i would do with this power. The only thing stopping me from going to the opera every night is the horrible evil Fee

#and also not living anywhere near an opera house #i think helsinki had free entry for people under 16 or 17 or something but that's useless to me #too old and stingy for the opera i guess.......they hate me....... #i think the perfect life is one where you can go see live operas every single day. this is my theory #it doesn't matter if they're good. every opera is a new experience. save me free entry....!!! free entry save me.......!!!!!

Honestly I wish we had a canon witches and vetinari interaction, that would have been amazing

Like we know he was aware of Granny Weatherwax and who she was but sweet fuck the SIDE EYE of them both in the same room

They’ve got the same near-magical ability to blend in

Just

Vetinari stealths into a room to find a shadow to hide in BUT GRANNY IS ALREADY IN THE SHADOW

Nanny Ogg watching them both pretend to disdain of each other and ribbing Granny FOREVER about her new best friend

Ridcully just passing a bottle back and forth with Nanny and watching them both posturing and both trying to lead the room

Vetinari is the closest thing to a male witch before Geoffrey because he’s just “if Esme Weatherwax was raised in the assassin’s guild”

#discworld #listen i live for noncanon besties #see also: granny weatherwax taught carrot that personal is not the same as important #CARROT SEEING GRANNY AT THE FUCKING OPERA HOUSE #CARROT HEARING FROM DETRITUS AND NOBBY ABOUT THIS AMAZING SCARY OLD LADY WHO CAUGHT A SWORD IN HER BARE HAND #‘oh what an interesting lady i would love to meet her’ #‘what the fuck did you just say her name was’ #see also: vetinari and susan

If I had a letterboxd for music maybe I'd post there about how I just saw Sparks and they were sooo good but I guess I'll just make an uninteresting Tumblr post about it at 12:07am instead. Why the fuck did they play Beaver O'Lindy. I'm so glad they did for some reason.

#Opera House concert hall full of 60 year olds going ooooff #Sparks #I actually do have a letterboxd for music it's called last.fm and I've had an account since 2004.
