Whenever I try to explain Repo! The Genetic Opera to someone, I’m just like “it’s a really pointed commentary on capitalism and medicine as a for-profit industry, with about 50,000 gallons of fake blood and, um, also it’s a musical? made by the producers of Saw?” like just watch this movie, I can not describe it, but it is an Experience and also Paris Hilton is in it and her face falls off, please this is one of my favorite movies.

[cutpriceguignol-deactivated2022]

Made by the DIRECTOR of Saw II, no less! And Paul Sorvino is in it! The lead is the girl from Spy Kids! Anthony Stewart Head, singing, constantly!

[captainlordauditor]

There’s a scene where one of main characters runs through his house surrounded by holographic ghosts of his dead wife singing about how he’s trying his best. There’s an entire song that seems to be dedicated to finding things to rhyme with “anatomy”. Paris Hilton is the only one who’s not always dressed in full goth get up, and most of her costumes are just clothes she already owned. The basic premise of the movie is that if you’re in debt, companies can claim repossession of your organs. I cannot describe this movie please just watch Repo Genetic Opera

[bendingsignpost]

I think my absolute favorite part of Repo! The Genetic Opera is how nothing has anything to do with genetics.

[ruffboi-mags]

#…okay that last part is not entirely true #shilo has been led to believe she has an inherited disease #there’s a whole song that explicitly points this out #so there’s… that… #but it’s not so prominent a theme I would STICK IT IN THE TITLE #just… y'know if it were up to me… (via @taibhsearachd)

[bywandandsword]

iirc, a lot of the ensemble cast were dressed in clothes from Hilton’s own closet and is especially apparent during ‘Zydrate Anatomy’ cause that’s how shoe string the budget on this movie was and she offered. Also the Best Character is just called the Grave Robber, which is, just, the fucking best

AND THE MUSIC FUCKS

[phallicthimble]

I used to watch this with a shadowcast called Amber Does Dallas about 10 years ago or so. Watching it with a theater of people makes it so much better.

[callmebliss-got-swamped]

Grace Robber is the guy who wrote it also

Also also I never put together that Lead Fake Blood Disease Girl was Spy Kids Girl

Also, her dad is Giles from Buffy

Also also Sarah Brightman is in it YES that Sarah Brightman who started in Phantom of the Opera

Reblog with how long you’ve been in phandom

Partially inspired by a convo I had the other day, and I’m curious.

Personally, I’ve loved POTO for about 11 years but didn’t join the Tumblr phandom until a year ago. 

(I watched the 2004 movie 2010, saw LV production sometime 2011-2012, read fanfic around 2014, discovered RAH and LND dvd 2015 ish, saw it on Bway 2016, listened to RAH again around 2018, kinda forgot about POTO until 2020 when I joined Tumblr).

[emotionalmotionsicknessxx]

Ive liked poto for like 15 years, saw it on Broadway and west end in college, hate-read phantom of Manhattan in HS, then kind of fell off into other things.

Joined the phandom this year when my hate for LND spurred me to get into phic writing!!

[pagesofangels]

Six years!

[hamsteroftheopera]

Phan for 18 years, only recently joined phandom via tumblr. All that time I never realized, for whatever reason, that there was a fan community that liked it as much as I did - but I’m glad I’m here now!

Just your friendly neighborhood singing waitress. If you look at the news you can see that NYC just closed all restaurants and bars, theatres, and anything with seating/gathering above 50. We’re all out of work and we all still have bills to pay. So I figured I would share my Venmo. I see great crowdfunding happening on here all the time, before my I come vanished I contributed. Guess it’s my turn to ask for help. If you want to spare anything for your singing waitress my Venmo is:

@Jadelyn-Trinkle

I can also take commissions on the sun glasses from Birds of Prey. I’m selling them for $45 free shipping. I wear my pair at work and they haven’t lost the rhinestones I use yet.

If you want to verify my identity you can find me on Instagram, @thevintagesinger and you can see I’m a soprano in NYC and my day job is singing at Ellen’s Stardust Diner.

Please reblog even if you can’t contribute.

Crowley’s hair in the final scene at the Ritz

I mean, have you seen his hair?! LOL It looks like all those millennia of stress and anxiety were waiting for this moment to dump on his head.

No, really. He’s gone through 6000+ years with the best hair, has followed fashion, has tried everything and rocked it every time. I think it’s safe to say that of all his exterior presentation, Crowley takes particular care in having his hair always look good, no matter what. Even when he was wasted drunk at the bar he had better hair than this. Even when he came out of the burning bookshop.

And now, at the Ritz, celebrating their newfound freedom… he just doesn’t care! No, okay, this requires a gif because really, look at him.

That looks like the hair he woke up with. It’s a mess and I love it.

To be fair, in this final, beautiful scene all of him looks a little off. He’s presenting in a way we’ve never seen before - the smile, the lightness - the closest being probably Eden. One could argue that he isn’t himself at this point– or maybe he’s more himself than ever. We’re used to see him strung up, nervous, guarded, while here is relaxing, and he’s SO tired, to the point that he looks like a deflated balloon.

It’s like the tight string holding him together has been cut loose AND THAT’S THE POINT, because he was piling up so much fear and anxiety and it’s actually a good thing that it’s gone. Look at him taking in everything rather than acting on it, like, he’s contented with letting Aziraphale do all the talking, and nothing else, no second purpose, no hiding behind the Arrangement. Just being. Relax by quiet which if you ask me has ‘introvert’ written all over it. Relief by absence of weight. Who hasn’t been there, really? I know I have.

A part of me first thought that he could have been happier at this point, should have been happier, showing it in a more flashy way as we’re used to see him, but the truth is that he is happy. He is like that BECAUSE he’s okay. 

And he’s also so exhausted that he’s basking in the feeling of not having to worry. Maybe that lack of pressure is not the showiest moment of his (especially because of the way he has trained us to see him), but it is so meaningful that now, right now, he only needs the quiet. That the real, best outcome is that he can finally, finally, rest. Not only from Hell and Heaven, but from the continuous effort of trying so hard, repeatedly enticing Aziraphale so that he won’t step back, unable to ever take him for granted. 

Gif credits (x) (x)

Compare the nervous despair of the first gif with the careless pose of the second one. There’s great meta here about this comparison, but just look: finally, Crowley can trust Aziraphale to stay on their own side, share some of the weight, and his relief is palpable.

So of course he can’t be bothered to look perfect, because who cares honestly? Not today, not after all that’s happened. His priorities have been laid out in front of him, and hair ain’t one of those right now. He has everything he ever, really needed.

Look at him; he’s beautiful.

Definitely recalls the style of the original:  Frog and Toad are Friends, written and illustrated by Arnold Lobel (1970, USA, children’s picture book).  There was a series!

ngl one of the main reasons i ship romione is because hermione got a cat that is the cat version of ron

[turtletotem]

…you just blew my entire mind

[jabletown]

BIG, GINGER, GRUMPY, AND A LITTLE VIOLENT who am i talking about ron or crookshanks you don’t know

[turtletotem]

My mind keeps also drawing comparisons between Ron the Consistently Underappreciated with his overachieving brothers, and Crookshanks who languished at the pet store watching the cuter kittens get adopted…

This also makes Ron’s dislike of Crookshanks pretty hilarious

[jabletown]

THAT IS ABSOLUTELY THE CRUX OF MY CROOKSHANKS IS THE CAT VERSION OF RON PHILOSOPHY. Fucking of course he hates that cat because he is that cat and he is Ron fucking Weasley. If Ron Weasley had a double that double would be better than him and he’d hate him too.

And of course Hermione has a soft spot for the most disagreeable, underdog cat in the world.
