something i wrote ages ago that feels like a tumblr post so i edited and posted it

LOVE NEVER DIES (tpoto sequel) SPOILERS AHEAD:

the most unrealistic part of Beneath a Moonless Sky is that it was able to happen at all. you know that i know that we know if Christine came back after Final Lair, after all the events that happened like "ok im back lets fuck", with Erik (the phantom of the opera, yes, that is his name let’s call him that he is not a ghost he is just a guy he says so himself, explicitly in the book) in the mental and emotional state he was in in Phantom and in that song in general, he would need at LEAST 9-10 business days to recover and process it i mean come on you really think he would be like "ok slay lets do it" after all the emotional turmoil of final lair even if he did agree because you also know that theres no way that he would agree to that, he literally told them to go now and leave him (paraphrased quote from final lair) but let's say for some reason he did, he would either pass out or shut down (erik.exe is not working fr) or completely fall apart because come on ALW did you watch phantom? did you watch final lair? you WROTE those songs. he would not be touching her and feeling her and hearing those ravishing refrains of the singing in her veins (paraphrased literal lyrics from beneath a moonless sky) he would be screaming crying eating furniture and you know it ALW come on ALW you can't tell me you DONT know it you WROTE PHANTOM

Watched LND on the stream the other day and I had some Thoughts

my spotify wrapped was in no way a surprise to me,, literally my top 5 for both songs and artists are tied to my poto hyperfixation, jpop included (erik coded erik coded erik coded),,,,, but also like. not the ALW jumpscare at the end of my wrapped fkcbskdbskdbsk

The entirety of Beneath A Moonless Sky is so hilarious to me. Christine, about to get married, randomly shows up to wherever the hell Erik is, to “tell him she must go,” which like. Imagine going somewhere with the sole intention of saying hey mate I gotta go.

Then they do the good ol devil’s tango not once, not twice, but

Again and then again

(Let’s not even get into the logistics of that)

And then Erik, who just got the woman of his dreams, does the least Erik thing possible and just. Bounces. Just leaves her in bed.

AND THEN CHRISTINE JUST GOES BACK TO RAOUL??? AND CASUALLY GETS MARRIED??

The entire thing is just s o out of character why am I obsessed

Fear can turn to love. You’ll learn to see the man behind the monster. This repulsive carcass which seems a beast, but secretly yearns for heaven, secretly, secretly, secretly. Oh Christine.

Mafdet will deny it but Beneath a Moonless Sky from Love Never Dies is such a her and Khonshu coded song. Let's face it, they've hate fucked a few times I'm sure...🙄

another of my favorite times in rpf history: does anyone remember when broadway stars ramin karimloo and sierra boggess were cast as the phantom and christine for the universally panned phantom of the opera sequel love never dies on the west end in 2010 and subsequently in the 25th anniversary performance recorded live at royal albert hall in 2011. and sort of relatedly alw said sierra boggess was how he always pictured christine in his mind. and ramin and sierra became very close and had out of this world chemistry and regularly recorded backstage “broadway diaries” packed full of sexual tension and were always posting about each other on instagram. and then a couple of years later they stopped posting about each other (and i think also unfollowed each other?) and ramin started posting about his wife a LOT more and then he said he’d never sing any of the songs from love never dies because it reminded him of a difficult time for him and his family. i know they did it but i just can’t prove it

Rekindled Symphony

Two months since Phantom's Opera, Christine questions her future and the unsettling feelings that have continued to haunt her. Wishing nothing more than to put her past to rest so she can move on with her life without regret, she seeks out the man who tormented her.

THE PHANTOM AND CHRISTINE FUCKED NASTY

[dearest-darlingest]

was listening to "friends 'til the end" by shipwrecked comedy, a song about a young girl and her strange, older lover who has a fixation with her throat

not to be confused with phantom of the opera, a musical about a young girl and her strange, older (kind of) lover who has a fixation with her throat

If I had a nickel for every time a musical motif from the 2004 Phantom movie made it to Love Never Dies I'd have two (confirmed) nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

[potatoesandsunshine]

love never dies is such a bad musical. and yet......

Isn't it a laugh? (Isn't it a shame?) Thinking there is someone in heaven to blame Yes, but even while blaming fate for the lives that they lead They hope for the lives that they need Living every day 'til the day they die Never getting answers (yet still asking, "Why?") Going through the motions as if there will be a reward While we stay eternally bored! They're only human They don't see, who they are is who they'll always be Only human, after all So they push and they shove With this thing they call love, 'til they fall! Isn't it a farce? (Isn't it a waste?) Struggling to face what can never be faced Yes, but maybe death can release something more than we share I really don't know and don't care They're only human Standing still Doomed to live pushing boulders uphill Only human, after all, so they give and they take Hoping someone will help break their fall
