maybe im just sleep deprived and emotional but i am *this close* to writing a full length academic essay on how revolutionary Moulin Rouge (2001) was in its costume design and depictions of toxic vs nontoxic masculinity and the absolute fucking POWER of the music and how well its used and how its a million genres in one and how its so moving and WHY its so moving and-

every day i consider deleting tik tok, but then i remember that guy on there whose special interest is bela lugosi’s dracula and all his vids are about it+ about what special interests and hyperfixations are + about autism awareness and i’m like fuck. i can’t abandon it yet.

zendaya’s met gala fit looks so much like something my self insert would wear that i’m actually gonna sob wtf

[ourladyofghouls]

anyway idk if there’s much of a moulin rouge! (2001) fandom but i made a comp for my underrated kings

[ourladyofghouls]

I’m working on a presentation about Moulin Rouge for a class and i found this picture and im sobbing

like what is the context. what is jacek playing that has ewan and nicole so amazed. I’m looking at the costumes and trying to guess what scene they were filming and if this is during like a break during Roxanne bc of jacek and ewan’s fits thats somehow funnier. “funky recorder”.

so like idk if the batb fandom is alive at all but uh merry (enchanted) christmas i brought yall a gift

listening to the hunchback off-broadway recording on shuffle is so fun it’s like playing russian roulette. like am I going to have a very pretty song fade in gently into my ears or is court of miracles going to jumpscare me again? is it a lovely piano and instrumental lead up or is it erik liberman about to shout at me? who knows. I don’t.

i know i’m not the first to say it, but the first time i watched ghosts i was actually under the impression that kitty had a crush on thomas in the first couple of eps (e.g. “he’s an artist! he’s ahead of his time!)

now that other people are talking about it, i think it would make a fun episode. thomas, a man who is obsessed with love, being utterly oblivious. captain being protective and not knowing why. mary and lady b having girl talk with kitty. alison helping set up a date.

i love how learn to do it in the movie is like “yeah! we’re making it to paris! we have a plan! this is going so well!” but in the musical it’s anya and dmitry trying not to murder each other while vlad has to physically stop them from doing that

[ourladyofghouls]

someone talk to me about them i will cry right now

[ourladyofghouls]

What a lovely ride

i demand appreciation for my favorite guy vlad from anastasia, both the movie version and the musical version bc like wow I do not see nearly enough love for this rad old guy like?

movie version we’ve got this guy right, he’s in his late 40s probably and very VERY easily could’ve been made into comedic relief or the “punching bag character” and in the original script that was pretty much his entire purpose, like you could make a drinking game every time his weight was brought up and you’d be dead. that would’ve been so easy but nah ah ah INSTEAD we got this tritagonist who actually has motives, flaws, a personality, a purpose in the story, etc etc. And yeah he was funny at times but most of the jokes were centered around him and Dimitri playing off each other or how he reacted to certain things (the scene right before learn to do it is a prime explain. loving the flower crown my friend). And he has a cute gf! who he loves! like gomez and morticia levels of love and she isn’t made into a joke either! and they get their happy ending and I love that and he’s also a genuinely nice dude. i feel like he could give me great life advice and even greater hugs

but the musical version? oh my god my main comfort character in the whole wide world is this guy. like he’s so wildly different from his movie counterpart sown to the last name but honestly I don’t even care because they expanded on everything the movie provided. he doesn’t really have much of a backstory? cool. now he’s a continent-wide known criminal who conned his way into the aristocracy. personality isn’t as developed as it shouldve been? okie doke let’s make him the main comedic part and give him more songs and an interesting character arc. no context for him and his aforementioned cute gf? not a problem let’s give em a song and a story where she was having an affair with him and he stole her wedding ring but he realizes he fucked up and now they’re in love again. got written out of the script right before the climax of the movie? put that bastard in the closing number. this guy is such a delight and all I wanna know is if he and lily are open to adoption bc hi i’m adopting age thank u

idk i just think he’s pretty darn cool and I never see any love for him. like i think there’s exactly one fic on ao3 that kinda centers around him which is weird considering he’s! one! of! the! main! characters!
