No but Don Juan Triumphant is such an insanely fucked up work to force both your crush/student and her COWORKERS to perform in when you actually look at the lyrics of that opera and what it’s about. It’s about a girl who steals sweets from a man so he pretends to be a different person and seduces her. And, like every other Phantom opera, it’s a metaphor for what the show is about, especially when you know the Phantom himself is the one writing it.

In his lyrics, he idolizes and infantilizes her while he also condemns and mocks her. She “stole” her lessons from him, even though he knows deep down how fucked the situation is, but he feels entitled as a man. He delves into toxic masculinity instead of compassion. He sexualizes Aminta, he says she’s a thief, but at the same time, he says there’s “no thoughts within her head but thoughts of joy, and no dreams within her heart but dreams of love.” Because christine can’t not be perfect, or his image is shattered, even after everything. She has no agency. She’s an innocent girl.

Subconsciously, he knows what he’s doing is wrong. He knows by how he writes it in the plot, however bitter he is, however he mocks her. He knows that he lied to her by pretending to be the Angel of Music, just as Don Juan lied by pretending to be Passarino. And he is claiming her publicly when he has her and her COWORKERS whom he’s also been terrorizing perform this work praising him, living out his fantasies, being conquered by him. He even specifically singles out Meg for Don Juan to have seduced, leaving Christine no one, not even one friend.

And Raoul has no place in the story because Erik cannot consider him as an actual person Christine might have feelings for. Raoul is the apple that she holds in her hands that he plucks so easily and shoves wine (his voice) into her hands.

hi hello just crawling back in here to say that soulmates are real and the only proof i have is the way jeremy stolle and elizabeth welch look at one another

for someone who hates raoul so much he really embodies the “i love my gf” and 100% himbo golden retriever aspect of him

The meowing and cackling stream notes

musicals discussion before the stream - Kiss Me Kate, Little shop of horrors, Fiddler on the roof (and a consideration of the fiddler/phantom crossover); also, German metal! also, Monty Python references throughout the stream!

@warpweight "think to the other people in the opera house whatever is going on with christine and her angel in the walls is like. that old vine of the girl and boy sitting really close in a dramatic teen way and the filmer is like Is that allowed?"

List of the 'sluttiest brow besides Panaro': John Cudia, TJ O'Leary, Josh Piterman

Wow, Laird has a beautifully imposing voice! he's great, I really liked his Phantom; commanding and soppy in good proportions; and as someone mentioned, wet deformity really drives it home

@mirrorbride-blog "she gives me early 1290s movie star vibes" @wismoth "1290 had the best movies" @heyitszev "they don't make em like they did in the 1290s"

@wismouth and @nokturnal-me moshing to overture

Apparently, Laird Mackintosh is a former ballet dancer, and is married to Polly Baird, a ballerina who played Meg:

@brainrot-flowerpot motn --> moth --> crawling --> worm - reverse metamorphis

@mirrorbride a boot where Erik looks in the broken mirror and scares himself - it was Gary Mauer, gif from @glassprism

the majestic cape swirl and the first unmasking gifs from @wheel-of-fish

Also, really nice enunciating bitchy Giri in this one

discussion on whether Carlotta's furs are real - opinions are generally no, since they're hard to take care of, but the Broadway production may be using the ones they had since the 80s; @operafantomet's post on furs

@warpweight "christine is on the edge and raoul is like trying to persuade her back and then finally she's like "....ok say u love me and stuff" and hes like I love you a million. I promise extremely. I love you alive christine"

Hugh Panaro cackling like a gremlin

Birds mentioned! tawny owl

screech owl

red tailed hawk

and nesting falcons from someone in the chat!

@nokturnal-me - 'Maskenbag' when the filmer hid us in the bag; also, Rope burn fic mentioned again!

@warpweight's naturalist's journal: "hes doing bird shit hes doing his mating display here. again. after he fucked up in the basement earlier. stop doing your horny call i'm gonna buy the shitty birdseed full of millet for your ass" "no more dried worms and safflower for you erik you never fuckin eat it anyway. maybe with some NUTRIENTS in your HEAD you could pull a HOT GIRL BIRD HUH"

Jeremy Stolle is Passarino!

I liked Laird Mackintosh and Sara Jean Ford so much, he's scary and sensual without being too creepy, more on the pathetic dog side, and she's so lovely and sweet and still resolute and true to herself; and Jeremy Hays as Raoul was really sweet as well, especially in AIAOY I was really rooting for them for once. a very harmonious cast

Fish's favourite moment after the kiss when Erik smiles in disbelief and bliss! and then moves his gaze to Raoul and r e m e m b e r s

@wismoth oh my god you can see the whole thought process @GlassPrism "I have tasted all the happiness of the world" etc. @flora-gray He looks over at Raoul like Can you believe I just got kiss--- Oh. Right. I'm murdering you

the little 'I'm tired' Laird says in the end of his Broadway cares speech - he's just so lovely

[passarinhodigital]

Tumblr to me has kept the pure internet essence, I feel like it's not intoxicated by the modern and nonsense social media.

The internet in the actuallity it's not horrible, I have an instagram, tiktok and twitter account. But the thing here is that not everybody know how to use their phones or social media conciously, it is made that way so your brain can't focus because of all the empty stimulation that it receives.

So now I decided that I'm going to switch to a flip phone. I may be cheating a little bit, because it has internet, whatsapp and a android operative system, but the flip phone is designed on a way that you only use it for the essential.

And I also decided to create a new tumblr blog, so I can stimulate my creativity by writing here, sharing my personal experiencies.

Probably this won't get too far, but I like the experience of using the internet in a more personal way, I feel that you can enjoy more details.

Kisses, Passarino.

Just saw Dean Chisnall’s Phantom a couple of times and I’m in love with him. Always liked Dean ever since LND but he brings a questioning, innocent charm to Erik that is all his own and I can’t wait to go see him again.

Didn’t realize they added an echo to the mirror verses now so we can enjoy the full effect of the angel’s voice from Xtine’s POV.

Deanrik is oozing with charm and he’s imposing through his voice, but he’s not manipulative and cunning. He needs Xtine so he can feel as loved as he loves her. His deep seated mommy issues become evident during the rooftop scene/end of act 1 when his childish “NO!” sounds like the heartbreak of a 6-year-old who lost a parent right in front of them.

This is further cemented by the end of the final lair when he clutches the wedding veil on the floor and calls for Xtine like he’s not sure if he’s allowed to— like maybe he’ll be punished.

“Christine?”

“I love you?”

(😭)

PONR is HOT and they changed the blocking slightly so that it’s clear they both know what’s happening and they both take the opportunity to enjoy one another.

Dean’s “Passarino!” made my panties drop.

I keep thinking about how both Dean and Lilly have said they’re Team Phantom and they believe it’s genuine love not exploitation. It really comes through in their performance. They have to buy it in order for us to buy it, and it worked beautifully 😍

Could you plz explain the origin of the names Elissa, Star Princess, and Aminta? TY!

If you want to go solely by the musical, the names "Elissa" and "Aminta" come from the libretto:

We have reached the great choral scene in which Hannibal and his army return to save Carthage from the Roman invasion under Scipio. HANNIBAL is UBALDO PIANGI; ELISSA, Queen of Carthage (his mistress) is CARLOTTA GUIDICELLI. Laughing, DON JUAN puts on PASSARINO's clothes and goes into the curtained alcove where the bed awaits. Although we do not know it yet, the Punjab Lasso has done it's work and SIGNOR PIANGI is no more. When next we see DON JUAN, it will be the PHANTOM. Meanwhile we hear AMINTA (CHRISTINE) singing happily from the distance.

There are also historical reasons for the names; ALW and co. did not just pull those names out of a hat. Elissa is one of the names of Dido, the founder of Carthage, well known if you're into Roman mythology and the works of Virgil. It does make the premise of Phantom's Hannibal rather inaccurate, as Hannibal (also a historical figure) was not around when Elissa/Dido was, but you know, it's opera.

Aminta, meanwhile, is derived from one of the many adaptations based around the figure known as Don Giovanni or Don Juan. ALW's Don Juan Triumphant seems to take it's plot inspiration from Mozart's Don Giovanni, but the name Aminta comes from an earlier adaptation, The Trickster of Seville, where Aminta is one of several of Don Juan's conquests.

The "Star Princess" is a different matter, since it's name does not appear in the libretto or in Maria Bjornson's original design, and in Leroux's novel Christine wears something totally different. (There are very likely people who wore something like Christine did in historical costume balls but I'm not looking up the names of those.) It seems that the name is a backstage one that made it's way into the fandom, and there are likely other names for the dress too that just aren't as popular ("the Masquerade dress", "the sunset dress", etc.).

[vaticanix]

Mia moglie in alcune foto mandate ai suoi amichetti del Vaticano Monsignor i cardinali vescovi preti pretuncoli segaioli e anche qualche suora ma cosa credete che il passarino e la passarina non la fanno andare le brave cristiane quelle o quelli che dicono il signore perdona tutto perdona anche loro

[dogmouthhorse]

why is he in his passarino era.

[devil-takethe-hindmost]

this might be the biggest downgrade in history

wait no the massacre of the star princess is worse

[disasterghaster]

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMm

cool

she's not eating those.

The amount of paranoid alarms screeching in her brain would rather she just explode into spastic confetti to avoid putting an UNLABELED possibly might be just chocolate from a stranger into her mouth like it wasn't poisoned or some kind of not-chocolate.

Right. She'd eat the candle but not the actual food offered. Her brain was BRILLANT at making decisions. Just so fucking good at it.

Slowly picked the candies up off her lap and put them onto the rolling table near the bed she was in. Pass. PassariNO.

"Ssssssssso, you got a name?"

"Of course," the Perfect Person says evenly and tactfully, keeping that little smile on its face though its eye narrows at the comment. Massive can of worms that was not at all worth getting into, even with anything as simple as a snide jest only for its own amusement. It's own thoughtless amusement was the exact reason it was in this less than ideal situation in the first place! It did feel rather awkward about not being appropriately sensitive... "I just...," arms bent, pawls parallel to its shoulders, momentarily clutching as it thinks, eye scanning around the room, drinking in all of the details as far as it can. "Don't think? Ever?" It eventually supplies as reasoning.

"Re-lax, I would never be anything hiding behind an anonymous mask. I mean--" its paws raise to its face, almost as if it were aghast, "Imagine hiding something so beautiful! Lacking credit for my wondrous words! That'd be horrible, so horrible." It shudders at the thought, grin relaxing and growing on its snout. "I'm. Just. Being. Nice." Strange creature as it is, it has a tendency to off-kilter, inexplicable presentation. To support its statement, it reaches into its pocket and pulls out two (2) unbranded (though wrapped nicely and professionally as if it were from some sort of treat bag) peanut butter filled chocolates and drops them not in her hands or on any nearby flat surface, but instead upon her lap.

For the record, the candies aren't uncomfortably warm or melted despite having apparently been in its pocket for an unknown amount of time. They're just normal, pristine, fresh out the bag unbranded mystery candies.

Words cannot express how much this delights me.
