(EXCLUDING Les Miserables because I know dang well a lot of people would have picked it. It’s in between WSS and Sunday in my ranking, though)
- The poll is just for fun lol. No purpose <3
- Mostly in order
girls will have a crush and then his name is some bullshit like herbert
nothing brings me more joy than critically engaging with media that was clearly not designed with critical engagement in mind. it’s the media studies equivalent of like, idk, trying to skateboard up a flight of stairs.
this is a little out of order but i saw an internet quote from the physical dracula daily book and had to draw it - that Lucy was playing out an Otome dating sim while Jonathan is having the worst time of his life XD
i hope you enjoy this silly drawing, and have an AWESOME day!!
Love Never Dies ACT 1 Commentary (First Watch)
2012 Recording with Ben Lewis & Anna O’Bryne
**I know the general plot already**
!!Spoilers ahead!!
**All commentary is written IN THE MOMENT**
Just causally namedropping Oscar Hammerstein? lol
16 mins in and they’re already missing the whole point of POTO. Christine did NOT shun or despise Phantom (not including him committing murder and kidnapping). She showed him kindness.
Awww Meg being excited about Christine coming to Coney Island.
Meg is so darling. WE MUST PROTECT MEG <3 (I know where the story goes lol, but let me dream)
The stage smoke and sparks are freaking me out a bit lol. I feel so close to them
Amazing sets, costumes, and lighting.
“I want to go to Coney Island. And learn how to swim.” Big gulp. Chekov’s gun. Sorry Gustave.
That pretty carriage NEEDS to be in Elisabeth das Musical lmao. Aura 1000%
Idk if it’s foresight talking but HUH- I’d be asking for ID if I was getting in some random carriage
LND Raoul is classist, too? Sheesh. Pick a struggle.
I want to deck Raoul in the face already.
Simon Gleeson‘s (Raoul’s) talking voice low key sounds like Hadley Fraser. Or maybe I’m hallucinating.
“Father never plays with me. Doesn’t he love me?” SCREAMS. I’m so sorry dear. I’m your new dad now.
WE MUST PROTECT GUSTAVE <3
Phantom’s entrance into Christine’s room is so dramatic lmao
“Beneath a Moonless Sky”is so good
I love a little blue light and balcony (Rebecca das Musical)
Some one threatening to “take away everything you love” is a sign to RUN, not fall in love with them (hasn’t happened yet, but I know dang well)
Meg: “You look sublime!” Christine: “You look the same.” GIRL WHY DID YOU SAY THAT???😭 LIE IF YOU HAVE TO
Musical abilities are NOT a paternity test.
Gustave’s (Jack Lyall’s) voice is amazing
Why would the Phantom of all people think it’s okay to put others on display simply because they’re born different? (Although the plastic crystal boxes might just be metaphorical?)
“The Beauty Underneath” is a BANGER.
Will be back with Act 2 commentary soon. Pls feel free to to discuss your thoughts with me :)
I’m not trying to be a hater, just telling my honest opinion. I’m here for a good time. <3
I was 100% convinced that this was about Victor Vale at first
Ambition
If I had a nickel for every time a morally gray scientist named victor gives himself a form of power and becomes the enemy of his former best friend/research partner, I’d have two nickels. Which is not much but weird it happened twice.
good work guys.
ITS THE BABY BOYYYYYYYY!!! He makes me so happy omg
It's an engagement, not a crime!
