The Palais Garnier, also known as the Opéra Garnier photographed in 1889. Photographer unknown.

A must see if you're in Paris; you can go on a guided or a self-directed tour. There is a library-museum and more, as well as the performances.

maybe I’m emotional about peter spankoffski being the natural continuation of ron and bug and joey in the early starkid productions. maybe this being a full circle moment for joey’s acting journey has me tearing up. maybe seeing his singing and acting development over the years along with that of every starkid member’s has me Fucked Up

I was today years old when I learnt that one of Runaan's early concept designs was rejected for being too "spicy" and now it lives rent free in my head

Me: side thigh slits. what's so spicy about them?

Also me: *watches Hell's Paradise for the first time* o-oh. OH.

SPN renovating a theatre AU thats like

Everyone is retired. World isn't ending any more. And Sam and Dean and Eileen and Cas are all together and alive and thinking of maybe moving out of the bunker and finding a real house somewhere and trying to start a normal life.

And then they get a call from some lawyer asking if they are bobby singer's next of kin and explaining that a friend of his left him property out in some little town somewhere and that now it belongs to them (like that one episode with the rich ppl and the girl living in the attic or whatever).

They make the trip down there and it's this old crumbling decrepit movie theatre that looks like it hasn't had anyone in it since the 60s or maybe even earlier. And Sam is all like "Dean it's a dump let's just sell it". But Dean has always had a soft spot for old stuff and he's feeling a little lost nowadays with no big threat looming over his head making sure he always has a reason to get up in the morning and fight. And Sam sees the look in his eye when he examines the star shaped designs in the ceiling above a chandelier covered in cob-webs and the beautiful twin staircases that curve up to the second floor with mouldy carpet steps and the old brass ticket booth complete with velvet curtains and a dusty little sign written in cursive and just goes "Yeah okay".

So they rent a house on the edge of town and it's a little too small for four adults but they make it work. And for the most part the theatre is Dean's project but everyone helps out when they can. And maybe Sam gets a job at the library and cas gets very invested in the health of the house's little garden and they all take turns cooking dinner and washing dishes and pulling weeds.

And when Dean comes through the hardware store for a third bucket of the same colour paint, the old man sitting at the counter is curious enough to ask him what he's working on. And the news that those four strangers who moved in off the edge of town are here to fix up the old theatre spreads through town like wildfire.

Small towns are gossipy like that.

And now everytime he walks into a shop there is some little old lady or nostalgic old man who wants to hear how it's going and share their stories of what it was like back when it was open and all the joy it had brought. He hears more than one story of a first kiss, a first date, a first time understanding just how big and wonderful and wide the world is up on that silver screen. Its a big sort of legacy to live up to but if he didn't have his heart set on fixing her up before he certainly can't stop now.

And it takes more than a year and a half of working almost every single day but when they open for the first time it's an evening screening of somthing black and white that would have played back in the days when it was open and half the town is there, dressed like it's important, like it's an outing. And Dean can't stop smiling. He did this. He fixed this. These hands aren't just for hurting and these hands aren't just for breaking. And Sam hugs him and so does Eileen and so does Cas. And none of them are quite sure what the next step is. Wether to hang around and run the theatre or sell it off to someone who will look after it and keep it going for the eagre town residents. But the accomplishment sits warm in his heart and he knows he did good and that's what matters. And he gets to help people in more ways than one. And he gets to resurrect something without a demon deal or a sacrifice. And he's happy.

another thing and this is just an observation but it does feel like it's become more [re]normalized in the past couple of years to just flat out say that trans women are the problem; that perisex trans women are not just intersexist, they are the most intersexist. white trans women are not just racist, they are the most racist. trans women are not just capable of 'male violence', they are the most likely culprits. this is downstream of a change in rhetoric by both transmisogynistic feminists and right wing anti-trans movements away from plausibly deniable "just asking questions" rhetoric towards outright calling for mass extermination of trans women with a corresponding intensity of all the various transmisogynistic accusations to their most hyperbolic extreme in order to justify an exterminatory response.

transmisogynistic feminists once had to dance around their bizarre fixation on trans women by admitting that, yes cis males are the main issue, but Womens Spaces are important. now, they will just aggressively assert that trans women are even more misogynistic and even more violent and deadly than cis males. similarly within "trans inclusive" queer spaces, there is an intensification of mass harassment campaigns by tme people who who openly admit to primarily targeting trans women but justify it, leaving what was once unspoken into an explicit declaration that trans women are by default untrustworthy and that there is a sinister cabal of predatory trannies who need to be located and hunted down. this is all happening while transfeminist theory has found a significantly wider audience outside of trans women, with more tme people taking transmisogyny seriously, are more aware of the ways in which it manifests, refuse to aid or abet harassment campaigns agains trans women, refuse to let violent transmisogyny be brushed aside in their RL and online relationships with other tme people, etc so its not all bad, but its concocting a very weird polarized environment where one corner of lgbt and leftist spaces are very decidedly supportive of trans women with at least a working understanding of transmisogyny, while other corners are dropping any pretense of tolerating trans women in favor of reviving explicit transmisogyny as the intercommunity norm and riding the coat tails of right wing trans exterminationist movements
