Genuinely I think if you have ever come up with a headcanon about a real human person, especially regarding their gender or sexuality, or sat down and written fanfiction about them, you should take a serious critical look about the way you engage with media. It’s creepy and dehumanizing to do and you really should not ever be treating real people the same way you’d treat fake ones for reasons that seem incredibly obvious but clearly aren’t
okay but how fucking funny would it be if immediately after buzzfeed unsolved ends, they announce a new show on watcher with the exact same premise and execution
she was born in a wet cardboard box all alone
For any concerned I’m working on this now
So if I were to do a ‘Jekyll and Hyde daily’ sort of thing. Would anyone subscribe. Asking for a friend.
Hey, did you know that Gaston Leroux’s Phantom of the Opera novel is available free on Wikisource or Project Gutenberg? Did you also know that it is completely gloriously bugfuck bonkers?
When the ballerinas are talking they hear a noise outside, and the head ballerina goes to check it out with the knife she always has, straight up ready to stab a ghost
The phantom shows up at the dinner party between the new and old managers and nobody says anything because they all think he's with the other guys
He doesn't have any dramatic entry to the masquerade ball - he's just wandering around in a cape with DON'T TOUCH THIS GUY embroidered on it in gold, and when somebody does he grabs them and glares at them, because come on, man, my cape asked you to do one thing
The phantom’s name is Erik. We know this because my dude is constantly talking about himself in the third person like an anime imouto
Ever wonder why there's suddenly a horse in the musical? Turns out it's because he just fuckin' steals one. Dude gets himself a basement horse.
His lair is a house on an underground lake with specifically surreal "middle-class" decorations. Dude has, like, cabinets from Pottery Barn
Except for his own room, which is all in black, and where this goth motherfucker sleeps in a literal coffin because "One has to get used to everything in life, even to eternity"
Dude goes out shopping and makes lunch. Christine specifically talks about eating some shrimp and a chicken wing that he'd set out like fuckin' Pagan Min
Christine has way more spine and agency than in the musical. Erik doesn't just randomly decide to bring her back from the first abduction; she deliberately butters him up over two weeks to convince him she'll come back if he lets her go
Then when Raoul demands to know where she's been she's like buddy I was at the corner of Nunya and Business
It's also her own idea to stay so Erik can see her sing on stage one more time
Erik's eyes specifically glow in the dark. This is relevant because one night Raoul thinks he sees glowing eyes out on the balcony. He tries turning the light on and off a couple times, and they're still there, and not answering when he calls out. So he is sure it's the Phantom and shoots him with a gun. There's some blood and Raoul's brother is like dude you shot a cat, and it's never mentioned again, so I guess there really is a cat out there with a scar and a very weird story
The phantom claims that the chandelier just did that
And that's before it gets really insane.
that’s enough emotions for a whole year. ciao
I know that a lot of you guys don’t check the Frankenstein tag, but I do, and there has been a recent uptick in posts tagged “Victor is the real monster” and it pisses me off.
