#poto 25th anniversary

[kotaka-kun]

whenever I watch this scene I keep thinking abt that one episode of The Hang With Ramin Karimloo where he and Sierra talked abt the 25th so... here's a cast commentary style edit i guess

Yet in his eyes

All the sadness of the world

Those pleading eyes

That both threaten and adore

The Final Lair

[mindsovermatter]

The tears I might have shed for your dark fate Grow cold, and turn to tears of hate!

I love this section of Down Once More and Christine ready to stand up for herself. Showcasing her fierceness and fire 🔥

This was my first time making some gifs, I'd like to make some more ☺️ Maybe that will be how I spend the weekend 🥰

Why Ramin is the Phantom ever, reasons why:

[fangirl-of-music]

he looks so betrayed my heart hurts

Like, yes, I know he killed people, but he's faced so much TRAUMA he is baby. He is precious. He deserves a better life and sure he could've made some better choices and he deserves love. It does suck that the girl he decided to creepily crush on and stalk was a scaredy cat. He could've found a partner in crime, a cool feminist lady who did heists or also murders or something. I don't even know what I'm saying, just that basically I love him and his pain hurts me too.

Why does he turn so abrupt and sassy 😭🤣

I love Schmalgauzen sm, I'm happy they finally uploaded this song (Тетяна or Tetyana) so I needed to draw something with it hehe!!

I haven't made any art for the 25th anniversary musical before so here it is. Oh how I wish to punch this Erik tbh 😇

the more awkward side of ponr

Ushijima has a total listening count of approximately 100,000 minutes for the year on Spotify. He only has one song on his Spotify wrapped - he likes its beat and one specific melody. It is 3 minutes long. The artist is not well known. It is the worst song Tendou has ever heard in his life.

Ushijima replays the song as soon as a distraught Tendou finishes looking at his Spotify wrapped.

[mindsovermatter]

Farewell my fallen idol and false friend Too late for prayers and useless pity!

I love when Christine is fiesty, that's what makes so many of the later Phantom scenes my favourite ☺️

I'm tired of seeing the word grooming taken out and used all the time by people who probably don't understand its definition.

For the record, Christine was in her twenties, when she met the Phantom / Erik. She was a fucking adult, in a society that for the time considered her a spinster. She never turned 15 or 16 in the original story, as people are so fond of claiming.

Also, Erik is not a villain but an anti-hero character. I'm tired of seeing him constantly demonize, like he's just a bad guy, when he doesn't.

Erik and Christine are basically twisted versions of Beauty and the Beast, Hades and Persephone, and Romeo and Juliet. Without forgetting that they are also, among other things, the incarnation of death and the maiden.

Erik also symbolizes Christine's sexual awakening and coming of age.

Whether you like it or not, they have a romantic and sexual connection in the original text.
