The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Thursday, November 16
Spike: It's bloody chaos over there without you. Buffy: It is? Spike: Yeah! Yeah, it's, uh... There's junk... You know? Food cartons, sleeping bags not rolled up, everyone's very scared and, uh, unkempt. Buffy: Sounds dire. Spike: I didn't see a lot. I came, hit Faith a bunch of times, and left. Buffy: Really? I mean, not that I'm glad, but— Spike: Oh, you say the word, and she's a footnote in history. I'll make it look like a painful accident.

Gonzaventuras ha ido a ver a ROBE de EXTREMO_DURO [=FIN_DOLOROSO..cuyo directo es IROS TODOS A TOMAR POR CULO] ..grabĂł en las pantallas LA CANCION MAS TRISTE [he llorado tanto] del cd DESTROZARES, CANCIONES PARA EL FINAL DE LOS TIEMPOS..en su gira NI SANTOS NI INOCENTES..antes muestra en la AUTOCARAVANA la puerta del W.C. porque dice que una tal CLARA estĂĄ CAGANDO y le DICE HIJO DE PUTA jaja
Acabo de ver en la TV como un CAMA_LEON se zampa a una MANTIS RELIGIOSA..y cambio de CANAL y veo que echan FORCES OF NATURE de BEN AFLECK [esta haciendo la reanimaciĂłn cardiopulmonar a uno] de nuevo pareja de Jennifer LOPEZ y Sandra BULLOCK cuyo marido muriĂł de ELA..va camino de casarse con su novia de toda la vida pero conoce a otra chica.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A  unos pocos días de su boda el avión en el que viaja Ben Holmes (Ben Affleck) se sale de la pista por culpa de unos påjaros que estropean uno de los motores, y queda atrapado en Nueva York sin posibilidad alguna de volver råpidamente a los brazos de su nerviosa prometida, Bridget (Maura Tierney), que le espera ansiosa en Savannah.
Ben no se lo piensa dos veces y emprende un alocado y descontrolado viaje junto a otra de las pasajeras del avión, Sarah Lewis (Sandra Bullock), una atractiva joven, impetuosa y divertidamente excéntrica. Al principio la relación entre dos personas tan opuestas resulta complicada, pero pronto empiezan a gustarse. Por ello, pasados los primeros momentos, comienza una mutua atracción irresistible.
De forma inexorable, las fuerzas de la naturaleza los empujan a unirlos para siempre, pero Ben se pregunta continuamente si estĂĄ siendo sometido a algĂșn tipo de prueba por parte de la vida y duda de su capacidad para poder hacerle frente.

MERLIN’S BEARD, ALANIS MCKINNON (SOPHIE THATCHER), IS THAT YOU?  it’s been so long – i thought you might’ve been dead! i mean, you never know in times like these. well, it’s good to have you back in the fight. come on now, there’s no time to waste – we need you to re-enter the fray within the next 48 hours, or else i fear all might be lost. don’t let us down – the world is counting on you.
Tumblr media
[ she/her, cis woman ] greetings to all of our listeners! we start today’s potterwatch with a long-awaited update on alanis marlene mckinnon who was finally spotted alive just last night, wandering the streets of london. for those of you who haven’t tuned in before, they are a 25 year old pureblood witch who is oddly reminiscent of a faint bitterness on your tongue that tastes almost like iron and rust and salt (oh, stubborn one, you'll bite yourself to bleeding before you give in to this); that feral, seething glint hidden in your viridescent eyes — there's something wild about you, you raging tempest of a girl, something that begs to be unleashed — you love like a punch to the stomach, just that hard; sometimes you think, if you could, you'd sharpen your heart into a gleaming, serrated knife, make yourself so razor-edged that no one could touch you again without piercing themselves — it's better to cut than be cut; when joan tierney said "your brother is not coming to save you. you thought he survived, didn’t you? no one survives this story. what a nice fantasy you invented [ 
 ] stupid girl, always dreaming of being rescued. lonesome girl, always desperate to be touched. rageful girl, always hungry for something to sink your teeth into. something carved fresh from the bone. you were once a little girl who knew what it was to be tender. she haunts you now, too." and when richard siken said "but the princess looks into her mirror and only sees the princess, while I’m out here, slogging through the mud, breathing fire, and getting stabbed to death. okay, so i’m the dragon. big deal. you still get to be the hero", which makes sense considering their dauntless, unfettered, roguish, capricious, tempestuous, and devil-may-care nature. you might know of them as the biological child of slyvester and anthea mckinnon, and we’re sure that their family will be relieved to hear they’re safe and sound — or at least as much as you can be, in times like this. to all our listeners, if you catch a glimpse of someone who looks a bit like that muggle sophie thatcher, that’s them. before approaching, please be aware that they’re rumored to be affiliated with the order of the phoenix, so best proceed with caution. these are dangerous times we’re living in. well, thanks for tuning in, folks. we’ll play ourselves out with girls against god by florence + the machine. [ sarah, 27, she/they, pst ]

So, what's interesting is that when Maria Bjornson was designing the "looks" (if I can call them that) for the Phantom and Raoul, she drew inspiration from Old Hollywood actors that had the right "vibe". Raoul for instance was based off Errol Flynn, mainly because a late 19th century French aristocrat' sense of noblesse oblige was more, let's say, romanesque than their British counterparts, in the sense that it drew a lot from popular historical novels at the time (think Alexandre Dumas, Paul Féval, Théophile Gautier, etc. Raoul would be a massive fanboy for Corneille's Le Cid).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Sketches are picked from @operafantomet, I hope it's okay for me to use them - if not I'll remove them right away)
The Phantom meanwhile was based off Rudolph Valentino. He was one of the first sex icons in cinematic history, especially when he starred in the 50 Shades of Grey of his time, The Sheik. (Which, as you may have guessed, DID NOT AGE WELL.) Valentino was known especially for being an incarnation of all the stereotypes linked to "continental" men, especially in terms of fears of them seducing their precious lily pure daughters (people were mostly xenophobic prudes lmao), and I'm not going to get into all the nitty gritty and the controversies linked to Valentino because oof, that's a ride and a half.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That being said, while I don't think Bela Lugosi was a direct inspiration for the Phantom (Andrew Lloyd Webber wanted to get as far away as the horror sensibilities of the story as possible, because "too pedestrian"), I *do* think Valentino was a big inspiration in how Bela Lugosi was styled for the play and later the film adaptation of Dracula.
As a side note, Christine has a bit of Mary Philbin (especially since it suited Sarah Brightman's own look pretty well), a bit of Meryl Streep in The French Lieutenant's Woman with all the pre-Raphaelite vibes, and it wouldn't be surprised if there was a bit of Gene Tierney and a bit of Hedy Lamarr (especially for the Star Princess, since it looks like a wackier version of Hedy's outfit in Ziegfield Girl).
(Also, @kimwexlers-brownhair, if you're into podcasts, You Must Remember This is a wonderful show about the film industry in Hollywood in the 20th century, and there's an entire season dedicated to Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff if you ever want to check it out!)
I was today years old when I found out Bela Lugosi and Clara Bow might have had an intense fling, and if that isn't the most Erik x Meg thing I ever heard, I don’t know what is.
A lot of people think Lugosi commissioned Geza Kende to make the girl in this painting look like Bow. Lugosi kept it in every home he lived in until his death.
