Update! The Better Man Ch: 36 & 37

Well whoops on top of being almost a week late on Ch 37, I completely forgot to do my usual Tumblr post for Ch 36. So for the sake of being a completist, we’re doing a 2-for-1 here. 😎

(The above art was commission by @royalavera a couple years back as inspiration for what would eventually become the primary scene of this chapter, thank you again!)

In Chapter 37 (which earns a strong M rating, no minors please!) Erik is at his horny, horrible worst best. 🥰

Read it on AO3!

And if you missed Chapter 36, you can read that one here :)

I gotta thank @royalavera for getting me even more intrigued in Phantom of the Opera! I always had a slight interest in it, but since I saw Royal's artwork; I was like... "Dang, I should really look into this story-" lol!

Anyways, I might watch some stuff on Phantom and make some more art for it 😎

Tag "9" people you want to know better

Tagged by @alma-amentet thanks! Always fun to take part in these

3 Ships

1. Zoro & Sanji (ZoSanZo) (One Piece) (and per extension my D&D OC Kaze and an NPC from the campaign named Muharib, they reminded everyone of them)

2. Soul & Maka (Soul Eater) (I'm not really obsessed over them, I just think they're sublime and have a special place in my heart)

3. Idgie & Ruth (Fried Green Tomatoes, they have all my heart and more and there isn't a single time I don't cry with them)

(probably should have added Erik & Christine, but even though I love them, I think the ones I mentionedhave sticked with me for far longer)

First ship

Well. Tough one. Since I became interested in fandoms? My first interaction with a fandom was due to Naruto being super gay with Sasuke, then either SasuNaru or NejiTen.

If not counting interacting with fandoms, earlier I really liked maybe Usui and Misaki from Kaichou wa maid-sama!

And from when I was a kid, I'm really not sure, but probably Eragon & Arya or Westley & Buttercup. I really liked them then.

I'm not really a "shipper"?, I have my preferences but I don't usually become focused with many of them.

Currently reading

Two years ago I started re-reading again (3rd time) Seven Realms Series by Cinda Williams Chima (I really adore this saga), but stress with university, switching from reading in Spanish to English (not being so used to it then), got me into a block soon after starting The Gray Wolf Throne.

Since then, I've read many manhwas/mangas/mangwas, some of them still not finished (Define the Relationship, Under the Green Light, Thirst...) (Mature content, be wary)

I also tried to go back to reading by beginning Treasure Island... it didn't quite work. I've read 4 chapters or so. Will go back to it in a few weeks probably, after exams.

Currently I am properly reading When the longing returns and Squirrel Girl, plus some D&D stuff from the campaign I'm currently playing.

Last film

Funny 'cause it's Treasure Planet xD

Last song

Well, this is a tough one, when I began writing this I was listening to "Hey, Little Songbird" from Hadestown and then "Todo Arde" by Juan Navazo, 6 songs later, right now Phantom of the opera (cover by Reinaeiry and Chloe Breez) is playing xD

Currently craving

Another D&D session for sure. I'm starving, I don't think I'll make it 'till the 25th

I mean, money, always money. I'm a currently unemployed broke student and living with my parents is driving me even more insane. Hopefully I'll land a job this summer coding as a still studying junior, the same one I intend to do my internship at next year. I won't make much, but I might be able to pay my part of a shared appartment with some friends once I've finished my current studies.

A hug, hormones have been driving me mad these past two days and I've been so so soft. Still am. I would like to drown in a big embrace, but honestly, right now, I don't have anyone I would like to give me that kind of hug. Am I weird? Haha I'm just not really a "touchy" person.

Time to draw and write, lately I haven't been able to.

Flower Troupe Survey! The Best of Yuzuka Rei (PART 2)

The Troupe Survey is a current segment in the TakarazukaGRAPH magazine in which each month a different troupe is given a survey on their Top Star and a selection of their answers are printed in the magazine. There are 4 parts to this article: 1. The things about (Top Star) that have made a big impression on us 2. Stage: Shows or scenes which have stayed in our hearts 3. We want to see (Top Star) as a… 4. The (Top Star) Awards (The Top Star gives out special awards to troupe members)

As this article is so long I will be publishing the translation in parts! You can read part 1 here Part 2 is under the cut!

Part 2: Stage - What Shows or Scenes have remained in your heart?

1st place, 23 votes: “Boys over Flowers” (2019)

Miharu Ayu: The fight scenes she has against Sakurako (played by Oto Kurisu) and Rui (played by Seino Asuka). I always love seeing Yuzuka in fight scenes but this show was extra special because they were staged as fistfights, which is pretty rare for Takarazuka and made the otokoyaku even more masculine! Seeing her using her whole body to protect Tsukushi (played by Shoroki Mirei) really moved me.

Takasho Mizuki: Domyouji (Yuzuka)’s dance during the song Metamorphoses. I have no other words for it other than that it’s the definition of coolness.

Part 3: We want to see Yuzuka Rei as a…

First Place, 9 votes: A Teacher

Haryu Mitsuki: In rehearsals, I often see her politely teaching Madoka (Hoshikaze Madoka, Top Musumeyaku) and giving advice to the younger actresses in a soft and gentle voice. So I think that if she was a teacher she would pick up on her students' weaknesses and kindly teach them how to overcome them! And maybe during break time, she’d play dodgeball and other games with her students?!

Tsubasa Anju: If Yuzuka was my teacher I would give it my all and study so that she would give me her praise! And I would never sleep during class (laughs).

Yuzuka’s Comment: Being a school teacher must be a very hard job to do, but maybe if I could teach something completely unrelated to the performing arts it would feel like a hobby. For example, how much I enjoyed history classes at school always depended on what period was being taught. Also, I always found it exciting how the structure of each class would change based on the period we were studying. So I think it would be fun if I could teach with some pizazz like they do in high school dramas and films.

Second Place, 8 votes: A Pilot

Hina Ririka: I’d have heart-eyes if I saw her as a handsome pilot!!! She would definitely be the number one most popular of them all!!

Serina Ei: When I saw her on the national tour pulling along her case as she walked, I thought she would definitely look amazing wearing a pilot's uniform and pulling a carry-along suitcase!!

Yuzuka’s comment: It would be cool to have an impressive job like that wouldn’t it? I’ve often thought about how wonderful it would be to speak fluent English and get to go back and forth between loads of different countries like international flight attendants do. I haven’t done anything to qualify for a job like that though! (laughs)

Toho Elisabeth 2022: Der Tod Comparision Analysis

After years of being a fan, I finally had the opportunity to see Elisabeth live for the first time this autumn. Me and a friend managed to defeat the odds and nab tickets for not just one but two dates, each with a different Der Tod (It's customary for most Toho musicals to have double, triple, or sometimes quadruple casts of its principal characters in their musicals). It was such a fantastic opportunity to see different actors' interpretations of such an iconic character, and seeing as the last Toho-beth was not filmed and previous recordings have not included every cast member, I thought I'd write up a report here for those curious!

Both Tods, Furukawa Yuta (Silver Tod) and Yamazaki Ikusaburo (Purple Tod) brought new and interesting things to the character that I’m really excited to discuss!

ZuCasino, Yuzuka Rei: October 2022

Long time no translations! It's been a busy year but I finally found the time to finish an interview that I really really love, I hope you are able to understand more about Rei with this sweet Q&A! ZuCasino is a current segment in Takarazuka Graph magazine where prominent otokoyaku get interviewed via a series of casino-style games and questions. October was with Yuzuka Rei. I've tried something a little different this time around where the first time an actress's name is mentioned I link her takawiki page. I've also done translation notes as I go rather than putting them all at the end. Let me know if you find this helpful or just too much. Without further ado, enjoy!

Part 1: Episode Roulette

We challenged Yuzuka Rei to play our Episode Roulette game!

(Rei has been given a roulette wheel, each section has a topic of conversation, whichever she lands on she has to answer)

The Flower Troupe Survey! The Best of Yuzuka Rei

We carried out a survey asking all the members of the flower troupe questions about Rei’s charm!

Part 1: The things about Yuzuka that have made a big impression on us!

Wataru Hibiki:When she goes off-script her feelings and thoughts are naturally expressed. You can feel it in both plays and revues. I’m always secretly looking forward to the speeches she gives on the first day and the last day of a production because we get to hear her express her feelings honestly to all of us. Yuzuka’s comment:That’s something I care a lot about so I’m really happy to hear that. Even when I have things planned to say, I make sure to not forget what's most important to me when I speak.

Mikaze Maira: When she gives her name on Takarazuka Sky Stage and says “I’m the Flower Troupe’s Yuzuka Rei”. Ahh her AURA! Her NATURAL SEX APPEAL! Oh! She's...The! Cool! Beauty!!! She makes my heart beat faster (laughs).

I commissioned royalavera to draw me and alucard uuuu I’m so excited to see how it turns out

[elven-sisters]

It’s time for an art for followers! :) This is for @royalavera and @jennyfair7. When I saw your nicknames I immediately thought about Cherik with black cat and (even if he lives in the cellar) he must have some plants (a cactus would be perfect, it’s hard to kill). And because it’s automn and it’s cold outside, he needs a nice, warm cup of coffee. I hope you like it 😉

Fic questions... "Second Chances" 2, 3, 11 and 15. Hope it's not too much (it's special for me because it's the first PoTO fic I read, it's lovely, I cried internally)

2. What scene did you first put down?

I write in order, so this one's easy: the first scene I wrote is the first scene of the story, with Christine walking back to the Opera House to ask Erik for help, and reflecting on how the events of the months they'd been apart had led her to her current situation.

3. What's your favorite line of narration?

Oh, this one is not so easy - in fact, it was almost impossible to pick one. But, since I had to, here is a bit I'm partial to, from Chapter 8:

'Erik turned from the sheets of music scattered in front of him at the sound of his wife’s voice, rising to meet her at the door and take the baby from her. He gave them both a kiss on the cheek as he did so, having to stifle his slight amusement at how domestic Christine had made him. Long ago, he had told her that he would be as gentle as a lamb if she would just love him, but he wasn’t sure he had truly believed it, any more than he had actually believed she could ever love him. Apparently he hadn’t been lying to her, after all.'

11. What do you like best about this fic?

If I'm thinking strictly about the fic itself, I would say that it's probably the way the ideas in my head translated to the finished story - I mostly had a few of the scenes from the closer to the end in mind when I started writing, and to see how close they turned out to how I pictured them is pretty cool to me.

Also, if I'm going to be completely honest here, I have to mention the response that this story got. I have treasured each and every comment - I get quite emotional thinking about some of them even now! And to see the hit counter on AO3 keep going up every day, months after I posted the last chapter, has been pretty neat!

15. What did you learn from writing this fic?

Oh, so much! First of all, that I could even do something like this - although I have always been an avid reader, writing a 35k word story of any kind is something I never dreamed I could or would do.

Another thing I learned is that it's important to tell the story you want to tell, regardless of how you think it'll be received. I didn't necessarily think this would be a story very many people would like - although I had only been reading phic for a few months when I started it, I hadn't seen much at all done with this dynamic, so I took that as a possible sign that there might not be much interest, but I liked the idea, so I started it anyway. Then, after I posted the second chapter, I remember having a bit of a panic for the opposite reason - there was more interest in the first two chapters than I anticipated, and it made me afraid that what I had planned wasn't good enough. I even spent a few days wondering if I needed to come up with something people would like better, but in the end I realized that I just needed to stick with what I had planned, and whatever happened, happened. And, I definitely think that was for the best!

Thank you so much for this ask, Roy! I'm sorry it took me so long to answer it, but I had so much fun doing so, and I really appreciate it!

And, just in case, here is the link to read on AO3 <3
