Just saw the New York Public Library recording of the original Broadway cast of Phantom of the Opera, and it completely rescrambled my brain.

Michael Crawford.

BUT STEVE BARTON.

BUT BUT BUT STEVE BARTON.

BUT BUT BUT BUT MIGHAEL CR—

(The TOFT archive is such an incredible, invaluable resource staffed by some of the most pleasant and helpful people. If there is one nice thing about Phantom closing (😭) it’s that this is available to watch with a smidge of planning. )

Scott's opinion of the Emperor. The more Scott talks about him, the less I understand people who hate the Emperor. I don't want anything to do with haters at all.

terminology (wip)

Burrowing: regular cuddles. Could be any position. Used as an act of bonding.

Nesting: person A (dominant) wraps their body around person B (non-dominant), restricting movement. Could be laying down or standing up. Usually used as defense or as an act of bonding.

Clinging: when person A follows person B around. Could be with nesting, but is usually just hand-holding or watching from some distance. Usually used as defense. Person B usually enjoys this, and pulling them apart may result in aggression.

Other: what person A is to person B. This may be romantic, sexual, familial, platonic, protective, or otherwise. The process of becoming one's other is referred to as othering.

Personing: the process of undoing an othering. You could think of it as "breaking up."

Imprinting: when person A grows to be affectionate to person B. This process could be automatic or slow.

Quick imprinting (or auto-impriting): when person A meets person B and is enthralled. They immediately take it upon themself to be this person's other. Othering is often sudden and immediately noticeable. Personing is easy.

Slow imprinting (or nonauto-imprinting): when person A may not like person B at first, but after some exposure, come to like them. Othering is often a slow and subtle process. Personing is difficult.

Bonding: when person A and B become closer through acts; hanging out, burrowing, intimacy, or otherwise. Used for emotional connection (love), but there have been reports of physical or psychic connections being formed.

Shipping is fun and all but I swear every single time someone makes a comment, whether as a joke or in a legitimate analysis, about there being "no other explanation" for a pair's interactions, I lose just a bit more of my sanity

Like, no, you guys don't get it. Romance is not about the Amount of devotion, it's about the COLOR. the FLAVOR of it all. a character can be just as devoted to their platonic friend as they are to their romantic partner, and they don't love either of them more, just differently.

But because the majority of people still have it stuck in their minds that romance exists on the highest tier of love, I'm stuck seeing endless takes that boil down to "these two care about each other too much for it to NOT be romantic" as if that's the core determining factor to how literally any of this works

In conclusion: stop telling me that I don't understand the story if I don't interpret the leads as romantic, I am TIRED

Rules i think you and Jason would have in your relationship:

- there is no jokes about “if I do this for you, you can just sleep with me to pay me back lol.” He does not find it funny at all and will low key lecture you on how sex is never something you owe him.

- you have a safe word for both sex and every day life. It can just mean you’re serious about something or it means for the other person to stop what they’re doing. Either way, if you feel uncomfortable, use it.

- jokes can only go on for a day max. By jokes I mean like if you told him “yeah that singular cabinet has always been painted pink.” After various vigilante incidents, it’s important that he knows what’s real. And if the other person safewords, you HAVE to come clean.

- you can go to bed angry all you want but you will be sleeping in the same bed. At the very very least, in the same room. This came about after you didn’t sleep in bed after a tough fight. Jason woke up alone in a cold sweat after a nightmare where you died. He couldn’t tell what was real and you walked in on him having a panic attack.

- you have a panic code. For instance if he says “mask?” you have to reply “copy” (I have venom on the brain) to confirm you’re ok and vice versa. You cannot intentionally ignore the code. If the person doesn’t respond in a certain time frame, Jason will show up to your location or you will call another bat to go to his.

- you have to at least cc each other on all decisions made in your living space. You wanna change the couch? All good, but let Jason know (he has weapons stashed everywhere).

- if one of you is in a bad mood, you have a code word to relay it to the other person. It doesn’t have to be the other person you’re mad at, but it just lets you say “hey emotions are running high and I want to punch a wall. I’m not going to take a joke well right now.”

- no making fun of the other person crying. There are extenuating circumstances for when you both cry over stupid movies and such, but as a general principle you can only tease about tears in the context of sex.

- speaking of sex, if one of you degrades the other, you have to tell them you didn’t mean it and do aftercare. You cannot just leave or fall asleep. Aftercare is a must.

Arophobia genuinely baffles me

I'm not being in a relationship. I'm not doing anything. I'm just sitting at home drinking tea watching Battle for Dream Island maybe doing a puzzle. What are you so mad about who am I hurting I'm literally just here
