they should make a dishonored/assassin's creed type game about erik's pre-phantom days. you could even have the tutorial level be kid!erik learning how to do parkour to escape his bullies (:
sometimes I'm like, alas, men in real life are not like in fiction, where they secretly make you presents to your exact measurements. and then I remember the time hackerspace guy who overheard me complain about my lack of table meant for floor sitting appropriate to my petite height one week, asked me to sit down on the floor the next week while he squinted at me for a sec, and then he built and brought a whole goddamn table with cup holder to my apartment the week after that.
god i love the part of the leroux novel when erik “have i really committed murders?” phantomopera is like “christine if you marry me i would be as gentle as a lamb………….” while the daroga and raoul are being microwaved and there’s a mountain of gunpowder beneath their feet ready to explode and kill them all if she says no
Almost halfway through my short but incredible journey on @phantomopera
I keep being asked what it’s like wearing the mask again? All I can reply with is that it’s exciting, consuming, triggering and unbelievably surreal.
The audiences have been amazing, as have the many moments caught on camera like this one of me and the @hollyannehull during #themusicofthenight taken by a member of our brilliant cast, @ralphwatts_
earl_carpenter What an amazing experience to have seen 2 of 3 companies performing @phantomopera at the stunning #ShanghaiGrandTheatre before it heads off on a massive tour around China.
The first Mandarin production presented by a fabulous bunch of glorious people who made me feel so incredibly welcome.
No, we are still not ok. Phantom should still be running. But instead, early in the morning workers were already stripping the facade of the Majestic from the beautiful posters of the production and discarding them as garbage.
Petit Erik won’t have it. He was out til late putting up all the @phantomopera posters he could find.
What *is* it about Erik? The wide world of meow meows, blorbos, babygirls, wet paper bag men stretches before me and I have NEVER--but NEVER-- come across one that I want to have EVERYTHING as much as Erik Phantomopera.
I want this man to have everything he wants with absolutely no consequences, no strings, no drawbacks. What is it about Erik that makes him the king of all meow meows? His hubris? Adorable. His bitter wit? Enchanting. His skills at extortion? Unmatched. His murderous ways? Utterly Delightful. I clap every time. I hope he never apologizes.
jeremystolle Thank you to @juliaudine for that unexpected adventure in my last show. It was one not soon to forget 🤣❤️.@phantomopera #phantom #understudy #understudylife #phantomclosing
was actually thinking about the nature of daisuke's curse again and the school morning after riku accidentally discovers that dark == daisuke and gets told by riku that they 'can't be together' because they'll be separated is like....
this paneling is gorgeous (sugisaki's art is always i always say this) but to emphasize dark's, or rather, the fallen angel's black wings as daisuke's essentially lamenting the fact that 'not everyone's wishes can come true' and that he 'still likes riku.' smth smth the hikari and their loveless lives VS the niwa and their insane erik phantomopera circumstances of tragic loves and loves that can't Be, yet still always loving and loving and loving Despite Everything
