Sticky Notes and Serendipity, Epilogue: Sticky Notes and Serendipity

AO3

And just like that, Sticky Notes and Serendipity is completed!! It's crazy to think about that, but @brendadaaedestler and I are so excited to be able to share the conclusion of this story with everyone. We are so happy with this sweet ending, and we think our readers will be too ❤️

The fact that this fic is finished and posted in its entirety is absolutely insane. The last year of working on it has been a wild ride and we have loved every second of bringing this beautiful story to life. The love that it received was something that neither of us expected but are so happy about; we're so glad that everyone came to love the story and these characters as much as we did. It is without a doubt one of my favourite things that I've ever written, that I am the most proud of, and I don't think that will change any time soon.

For everyone who has been waiting for the last part, here you are and THANK YOU for going on this ride with us!! For everyone who has been waiting for this fic to be completed before reading it, go nuts!!

Thank you to everyone who has read this fic, and enjoy the epilogue of Sticky Notes and Serendipity ❤️

Subtitled version of Yeston & Kopit's "Phantom."

Some time ago, in a post on my blog, I had shared pro-shot links of the first and second acts of the Korean version of Yeston & Kopit's "Phantom" - promising to do my best to find a better and, possibly, subtitled version.

I thought I had succeeded when a YouTube channel had decided to upload it - but unfortunately the same channel later changed its mind and decided to remove (twice) the video.

After several attempts on different platforms (unfortunately all of which failed, for all sorts of reasons, at the time of publication) I decided to upload the video and its subtitles - of which, just in case, I had downloaded a copy - to Mega.

Now all you have to do (I hope!) is to click here:

Phantom - The Musical Live

And you will be redirect to the page where you can find both.

I hope this is a solution that works for everyone, and especially for @stevenstrange, who was kind enough to point out to me the latest video deletion from YT.

I'm literally going to kill a man, and that man is Gerard Carriere

[andoutofharm]

I keep thinking about the note gerard gave a fan at the airport after the show. we couldn’t stop talking about how special it felt and how magical it all was, and they felt that too. it was special to us and it was special for them, to the point gerard had to write it down and tell us himself.

[franthonyofficial]

never speak poorly on anthony again actually

[prettygirlgerard]

should I send Gerard a letter by carrier pigeon or something? just to see if she’s well…

History

(WARNING: contains topics such as abuse, depression and self harm)

Lilith’s ability to wield magic emerged when she was just 4 years old

She was taken to Olivanders to get her wand for her 5th birthday

Lilith’s early ability to wield magic caused her family to fawn over her

Lilith was indoctrinated into the world of the Dark Arts as soon as she got a good handle of her wand, which was about 2 years after she first got it

She was first introduced to ‘Imperio’ at 8 years old, since she thought it was fun at first, not fully understanding the weight to using the spells

When she turned 10, her mother tried to get her to use the Cruciatus Curse, which after hearing the screams of the victims, Lilith out right refused to do

Because of her refusal, her parents cut off her chance to attend Hogwarts as a first year until she cast the curse

They made an excuse to the headmaster about her poor health and her having to be bedridden in St. Mungo’s

Lilith tried to push off casting the curse for as long as possible, but her procrastination only caused her parents to get angrier

Lilith’s father got physically and psychologically violent with her, threatening to beat her and even cast the Cruciatus Curse on her

He did end up following through in his threats, beating her to various degrees of severity and casting the Cruciatus Curse on her about once to twice a week depending on her “behavior”

Lilith, broken down to the point of desperation, finally gave in and cast the Cruciatus Curse on an innocent muggle at the age of 15, just a few months before school was set to start

She felt horrible about casting it, becoming numb with guilt, she tried to find ways to cope

She first started with smoking, that helped for a little while but eventually it stopped working for her

She then started to put out her cigarettes on her arms as well as taking a blade to her arms and thighs, which helped her feel at least something other than the empty nothingness

Ever since she first cast the Cruciatus Curse, Lilith became a bit of a recluse. She sat alone on the Hogwarts Express and barely talked to anyone once she was sorted into Slytherin, only managing to stomach talking with Imelda, Sebastian and Ominis

She first couldn’t stand Imelda or Sebastian upon first meeting them

Imelda because of her arrogance and cockiness

Sebastian because of his interest in the Dark Arts

Lilith hated the fact that she was sorted into Slytherin because of its reputation for producing Dark Wizards

When she met Ominis, she was at first hesitant to talk to him after he mentioned his relation to Salazar Slytherin

Ominis, sensing her worry, reassured her that he wants nothing to do with Dark Arts, which definitely put Lilith’s worries at ease

Lilith was often bullied for being a recluse, even by her own siblings that where still in school

Lilith formed a close bond with Ominis, so close in fact that he showed her the Undercroft, much to Sebastian’s chagrin since Ominis got annoyed with him after showing Elijah the Undercroft

The two of them would have long, deep conversations in the Undercroft, really opening up to each other and bonding over their traumas with their family’s obsession with Pure Blood status

Lilith even opened up about her self harm

Ever since she found an outlet to let out all her grief and a shoulder to cry on, she started to slowly wean off of self harming

Fun facts

Lilith had a very special disdain towards Sebastian before learning about Anne. She could understand his desperation and could take pity on him, but still didn’t like his use of Dark Arts and eagerly tried to push him away from it.

Lilith was actually very happy that Ominis was blind, since he couldn’t see her bruises or scars. She was very ashamed of them as well as her image

When the idea of marriage became apparent with Ominis and Lilith, the two of them wanted to take each other’s last name to remove themselves from their family and all the trauma connected to them. Ominis made the final decision to keep the Gaunt name for Lilith, and also he liked the idea of naming one of their daughters after Noctua.

The first time Lilith and Ominis truly got “intimate”, was when Ominis asked to feel Lilith’s features since he was curious what she looked like. This caused Ominis to feel Lilith’s scars for the first time

Currently desperately refreshing the POTO 1990 tag on ao3. My crops are wilting and my spirit aches. Will now begin construction on Cherik’s dreamery. Time to grow trees underground.

It's early; give it time! At the very least, I pitched a fic that's just Gerard Carriere getting slapped repeatedly by various characters.

[night-unfurls-its-splendour]

new to phantom stuff, why are those two last names so popular?

They're the last names from the two most popular screen adaptation (other than the 1925 Lon Chaney silent film and the 2004 ALW adaptation with Gerard Butler)

"Erik Destler" is his name in the 1989 version with Robert Englund.

It's a sort of slasher-y take on the story, set in England, not France and has a Faustian element: Erik Destler, a composer sells his soul to the devil to create the world's most beautiful music, but in return the devil disfigures him so that his music will be the only thing anyone could love about him. It's quite a gory version (rather than wear a mask he skins his victims and sews their flesh to his ruined face), but he's actually one of the most romantic and vulnerable interpretations I've seen.

He's never outright called "Erik Carriere" in the 1990 two-part mini-series with Charles Dance (Which is based on the Yeston-Kopit book/play, rather than Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical), but we (***SPOILERS***) discover that Burt Lancaster's character, M. Carriere is his father in the second half.

Carriere and Erik's mother had him out of wedlock, so technically Erik's last name legally would be his mother's (she's referred to only by the mononym "Belladova"), but ~shrugs~. The basic plot is the same old story, except there's no "Angel of Music" charade, the Changy boy is called "Phillipe" rather than Raoul, it's set in the Edwardian Era rather than the 1880's and Erik's mother loved him, rather than rejected him, but died early. Also he was raised by his father. This version of Erik is EXTREMELY popular. He's not my favourite, but he's definitely a phan-phavorite. He's quite a gentle take on the Erik character, which is part of his popularity. You can find this version on YouTube if it tickles your curiosity. The Robert Englund version is a bit harder to track down but I recommend watching both at least once.

I am totally clueless about Tony, I only know his name and wanted to ask if he is the owner of Numb Music Limited a music production company and of two bars in London ?!!

Don't worry, Anon... Tony was once Brian, and now he's adopted his middle name, Tony GERARD; he was Irish, English, Scottish and now he's British (generic to create less confusion?! 🤔🤣); he is a music producer, band manager, entrepreneur, musician, Caitriona's assistant... Bag-carrier?! 😜

Even Cait is confused about Tony (I think...), which must be why she only calls him "husband" and doesn't introduce him to people (her agent does that)...

😜🤣

About the companies, who knows Tony's REAL role in them. His name appears in the register of 8 companies, the most recent being FMN Drinks. Of these 8, 4 are no longer active.

Numb is the most curious of these companies. It's a family business, Tony's brother, who is a dentist, is also a director of the company.

It's like a place where you can record your album and take care of your teeth at the same time... Quite common, isn't it? 😜 ...

����🤣🤣

And about his pub "The Library" (in London) ... Bankrupt! The new owner in 2019 published that the former owner had left a "gift"...

🤣🤣🤣

IMAGES: F-15E land in the Middle East to confirm USAF's "enhanced" presence in support of Israel 🇮🇱

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 10/15/2023 - 11:52am Military, War Zones

The F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets arrived in the Middle East on October 13, while the U.S. continued to strengthen its forces in the region, the U.S. Air Force announced.

The planes, which were deployed from the RAF Base in Lakenheath, in the United Kingdom, are part of a broader package of forces that were mobilized after Hamas' attack on Israel, including an increasing number of A-10 Thunderbolt II close air support aircraft and F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jets.

TAP ARROW BUTTON TO VIEW☝️

"The aircraft's advanced systems and targeting capabilities allow U.S. forces to respond to any crisis or contingency and, if necessary, face and defeat opponents," the Air Force Central (AFCENT) said in a statement announcing the arrival of the F-15E.

The Pentagon did not say where the F-15E would be based. Its arrival comes a day after the Pentagon announced that A-10 Warthogs of the 354º Fighter Squadron of Davis-Monthan Air Base, Arizona, had arrived in the region, in addition to the Warthogs of the 75º Fighter Squadron already in the region.

U.S. officials said that U.S. Air Force F-35 Lightning II stealth fighters are among the additional capabilities that could be sent

“The U.S. military is committed to lasting security and protection throughout the Middle East,” said AFCENT commander Lieutenant General Alexus G. Grynkewich, in a statement of October 13. “By positioning advanced fighters and integrating joint and coalition forces, we are strengthening our partnerships and strengthening security in the region.”

U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III, who arrived in Israel on October 13, met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and the newly formed Israeli war cabinet.

Austin highlighted the "enhanced" presence of the USAF in the Middle East and the deployment of the USS Gerard R. Ford in the Eastern Mediterranean, according to a reading of the Austin meetings provided by the Pentagon Press Secretary, Brig. General Patrick S. Ryder.

The new U.S. assets aim to discourage Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant group, Iran or other groups from trying to escalate the conflict and show support for Israel, which had more than 1,300 citizens killed and other deeds held hostage and brought to Gaza. American citizens are among the dead and taken hostage by Hamas, says the U.S. government. The State Department announced plans to evacuate some American citizens from Israel.

“We have increased U.S. combat aircraft squads in the Middle East, and the U.S. Department of Defense is fully ready to deploy additional resources if necessary,” Austin said during a press conference in Israel on October 13.

In addition to the USAF fighters, the USS Ford also carries four squadrons of F/A-18 Super Hornet fighters, as well as electronic warfare and command and control aircraft. The aircraft carrier is also accompanied by warships carrying cruise missiles.

Ryder added that the U.S. was “accelerating security assistance to Israel, including precision guided ammunition and air defense ammunition.” Austin also "committed to deploy additional assets as needed".

The aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower was supposed to leave Norfolk, Virginia, on October 13, but its deployment was temporarily postponed, according to local media reports. The U.S. military did not say exactly where the Eisenhower and the warships accompanying him will arrive.

Israel responded to Hamas attacks with punitive air strikes in Gaza, and Israeli ground forces seem prepared to intervene, with a large number of Israel Defense Forces (IDF) positioning themselves near Israel's border with Gaza and issuing warnings to evacuate. Netanyahu promised to "s crush and destroy" Hamas.

During his visit, Austin signaled strong support for Israel.

“This is not the time for neutrality, or for false equivalences, or for excuses for the inforgible,” Austin said at a press conference on October 13. "Make no mistake: the United States will ensure that Israel has what it needs to defend itself, and Israel has the right to protect its people."

Gonna be honest I do not at this moment in time have any need for a ballistically rated plate carrier, but I want one. No tactical reason other than "looking like Gerard Way in 2004," a desire burnt upon my brain at a young age and only kept at bay by the desire to own a Pontiac Trans Am, imparted onto me by a wish to look like Gerard Way in 2013.
