I don’t even know what to say other than my heart aches so deeply tonight. Thank you, Phantom. You’re loved by so many.

No, we are still not ok. Phantom should still be running. But instead, early in the morning workers were already stripping the facade of the Majestic from the beautiful posters of the production and discarding them as garbage.
Petit Erik won’t have it. He was out til late putting up all the @phantomopera posters he could find.
The Music of the Night is not over.

I found an old post from when I first listened to the audio slime of POTO's final performance. Reading it again made me feel a little nostalgic 🌹🎵
You guys, I’m so grateful that John Riddle came back for those last performances of POTO. I’m so glad we ended the show with him as Raoul. He was the standout in the entire cast, I love his interpretation of my favorite character. I’m hoping beyond hope we get some kind of amazing proshot for that very last night of Phantom. (Honestly, I’d gladly take even a slime tutorial of the 15th or 16th but I don’t know how likely that is...) Also, the audience was so enthusiastic. It makes me mist up a little.
#Old post#wow#this brought back so many memories!#when I found out John came back for the last few shows I was ELATED#John's Raoul is sooooooo good <3 <3 <3#john riddle#poto#the phantom of the opera 35th anniversary#the phantom of the opera#raoul de chagny#I keep seeing old boots on youtube and thinking#there won't be any more boots of the original production of POTO#😭#help me say goodbye#💔

Seeing a lot of people sharing Phantom-y memories so I figured I’d weigh in a little.
I always thought that someday, I’d pull together the time and the money to travel to New York and see the show in all its glory. That somehow, it would always just... be there, waiting. But now that it’s ending, I just feel a little hollow. I know that it’ll probably come back, and there are always tours to go see... but it won’t be the same. It won’t be the spectacle that the original was.
Phantom was not my first musical (that pleasure goes to either Annie or Mamma Mia) but it is the first one that I got super into. I first heard the title song in 6th grade music class, and it made such an impact on me that I downloaded the song the next time I got itunes money and listened to it on repeat while putting on my Halloween costume for school.
I saw it in its entirety twice in my sophomore year of high school. First, I saw the movie in my theatre class. Hearing the overture and watching the movie go from greyscale to color activated something in my brain that would never turn back off. The second time, was when my mom surprised me with tickets to the restaged tour. They were the last two available for that night, so we got lucky. I remember listening to the orchestra warming up before the show, and the excitement at hearing that overture live for the very first time. I’m sad that I didn’t get to see a true chandelier fall, the theatre we saw it in just wasn’t built for it (it dropped a few feet, but never crashed onto the stage. Didn’t even start on the stage, just kind of hovered there with a cloth on top of it. Very anticlimactic). My first, and so far only, live Phantom was Quentin Oliver Lee, may he rest in peace.
We performed Music of the Night as our ballad for my Junior year show choir package, and having to work on that for months just deepened my love for the musical, even if most of my words were just oohs and ahhs (it was acapella, and I’m an alto). We watched Youtube videos to get inspiration on how to emote, I specifically remember watching Norm Lewis and Sierra Boggess. Norm actually came and did a masterclass at my university last month, and I would have gladly skipped class to watch him speak if I didn’t have a French quiz at the same time (I am still super pissed about that).
The musical has led me to consume other Phantom forms of media, such as the book, the 1990 miniseries, and some kind of video game where you play as Christine and Raoul’s daughter and get kidnapped by Erik. I’ve tried reading the book in its original French text with... very little success. I’ve cosplayed the Phantom, and am finally going to bring the costume to a con after many much needed refurbishments.
This musical has honestly become a comfort for me, and I love it dearly. It’s so sad to see it go, this thing that’s brought me much joy these past several years. Honestly, I cannot think of a time in recent years where I was as happy as I was when I saw it live. But hey, maybe I’ll get the chance to see it again someday.
Until then, it’s over now, the music of the night.

Still cannot believe it. Still not over it. And never will.

AU where instead of becoming the red hood and taking over gotham’s criminal underground at 18-19, jason todd decides to go back to school and graduate from college, and just generally live the life his parents (read: catherine and willis todd) would have wanted him to have that they unfortunately couldn't have given him due to their circumstances.
and what does jason get his college degree in, might you ask? he graduates with full honours as a political science major, minoring in english with plans to work in public policy.
and y'know, after graduating and working for a couple of years, things seem to be actually looking up for jason. he has good friends, a stable income with a job that he actually enjoys, he owns a home, his romantic life is pretty decent, and he's actually healing from the trauma of his death. there’s nothing that could possibly go wrong in his life, right? not when it’s been the best it’s ever been in years, right?
well, that’s where you’re wrong because when he comes home from his 9-5 shift, jason finds the batman himself brooding in the dark while sitting criss cross applesauce on his very new leather sofa.
and just when jason thought he was having a good week.
(this idea was kinda inspired by this post that i made a while back, where jason goes back to school, and now i’m having too many ‘what would jason have become if he didn’t become the red hood?’ thoughts running through my brain because of it, lmao.)

I still can't believe they killed him like that
#cookie run#cookie run kingdom#cotton cookie#sherbet cookie#my stuff#anyway happy fourth anni crk. i dont play but sometimes i catch some wack lore from my brother who is an avid player#i went down the wiki to read their event story and are you.. for real..#you made this poor girl go through all that for a flower that couldnt even revive him all the way..#'that should be enough to say goodbye' HELP me what do you mean. and like ok i know. i know that its the intent#something something death is an intrinsic part of life. the avoidance of death is what we all seek and yet it is futile in the end#and he's reborn in the end and always able to do what he dreamed of#but god man cotton. cotton.....#anyway her camellia costume is so cute and among other things they symbolize faithfulness and nothing else fits better than SHE DID ALL THAT#and he STILL died#for real. for really real

Geo and Bonzle's relationship is something so nebulous and not entirely definable but so, so incredibly loving. Less father and daughter and more older brother and teen sister that he feels responsible for. She showed up when he was at his absolute lowest, barely keeping himself alive as day after day after day of agonizing loneliness went by. She knew that loneliness all too well and they found so much comfort in eachother. And even as their family grew their dynamic never really changed. I just. Hrghghhghghghgghgghgghhfjfjfhfjgjghggjjghgh 😭💕💕
#god I can't stop thinking about how Geo must've felt when Cole told him Bonzle was gone#he wasn't there for her. she “died” alone and scared and he was just waiting at home for her to come back#if he'd been there.. if he'd just been able to help.. god if he'd even just gotten to say goodbye#I really do not think Geo was in a good place mentally when he met Bonzle#I mean come on. abandoned and forgotten by the geckles and munce and alone in a junkyard wasteland? I'd lose my mind#augh they're so important to me#ninjago#dragons rising#ninjago geo#ninjago bonzle#geo finder#bonzle finder#I started writing this post in the middle of the night then I blacked out and finished writing it when I woke up

Today is a sad day for me, one that I honestly never believed I would witness. My Phan mind thought @phantomopera would outlive us all (🎶would you still play when all the rest of us are dead…🎶). Unfortunately someone decided otherwise. I first saw Phantom in 2001, but I was already fascinated (meaning obsessed) by our (mine) masked genius since reading the book when I was 11. Somehow, I’ve always related to Erik. We all have our moments of feeling as an outcast, of not belonging, of feeling unlovable. To me, Erik represents our inner strength, our resilience to survive despite all the odds, to feel with intensity (for good and for bad), to create beauty and to have a greater than life ability to love. I feel sorry for all those who can’t see beyond his mask, who can only see ugliness and his misdeeds, who mimic those who in the story, can’t show compassion to this amazing man, who I have no doubt, if he had lived, would have been the eternal ruler his chosen name suggests. He is already the eternal ruler of my life. Phantom will keep alive inside all of us who love him, his music won’t ever be silenced and he WILL BE BACK!
Petit Erik is starting a campaign for his show to reopen in NY and play forever. He’s already having posters placed everywhere so he won’t be forgotten.
It is not over…

if you have a good vibe/kind thought to spare and could send it my way. i'd really appreciate it.
#saying goodbye to my friend murphy tomorrow#i'll be okay. it's the right decision and i'll get through.#life is just going to be really hard and sad for a while#i don't want to talk about it in any detail but i feel like i have to say it out loud#and i have this paranoid anxiety thought that's like if I don't tell people he's gone they will ask about him#snd I won't be able to handle that for a little while#I don't need acknowledgment or sympathy. I don't need to talk to anyone. I don't need cheer-up fodder#so no need to send me anything or talk to me about it really i promise#just if you can take a second to love and appreciate the animals in your life. that would be really nice.#you don't have to tell me about it it would just be nice to feel there's love out there#writing this all out is making me feel so stupid. i've deleted and rewritten several times#but i gotta because it would be a lot worse if i was worrying about not talking about it#so yeah. no need for likes or comments or dms or asks or anything. just give someone some love for me ok?#murphy is the senior yellow lab you may have seen me post pics of sometimes. he's my parents' dog but he's my buddy.#and he's gotten me through a lot. like a lot a lot#and i'm going to miss the hell out of him#and i'm so worried about my parents. they're going to have a much worse time than me.#and they don't need anything else on their plates right now#it's just everything you know?#and all at the same time too. 2024 has been just one gut punch after the other#so yeah. if you could give your pet a hug or a treat or a scratch or take them on their favorite walk. that would be awesome#this was good actually typing all this nonsense out helped a little. still don't want to talk about it but at least i have ideas for#the 'leave me the fuck alone' email i'm going to send everyone tomorrow at work
