The Phantom of the Opera is a guy in a mask who pretends to be a supernatural creature to harass his opera house into giving him ransom money, causing disasters when they don’t pay him.

Clearly, they should have hired these guys to stop him:

so what does "slave of fashion" mean? I always thought the Phantom said that because of the "I must get my hat" thing, implying Raoul is obsessed with, uhm, fashion?

It’s rather similar to the phrase “jump on the bandwagon”, where you join something once it’s become popular or cool. In this case, the Phantom is criticizing Raoul for only noticing Christine now that she’s famous, as opposed to the Phantom who noticed Christine before she was “cool”.

(Given that Raoul is clearly said to be the opera house’s new patron, this is certainly not his fault; Christine’s debut was probably the first performance he ever saw, and his reminiscing with her seems to indicate that he’s drawn to her less because she’s the new “in” thing and more out of childhood affection. But this is the Phantom we’re talking about, he’s not rational when it comes to Raoul, or any potential rivals for Christine’s love.)

Fun reminder that the immersive phantom stuff is MARKETING THE SHOW and gatekeeping information and being on a high horse about getting things is tone deaf and dicky when most of the phandom can’t.

I feel like an outlier bc I know immersive phantom is the hot thing rn but I'm actually more excited for the (vastly more accessible) U.S. tour and all the new phans it's going to bring in

Hey all, I've revised the Saturday Streams FAQ to include a more prominent code of conduct for the chat. Even if you're a stream veteran, I'd be so grateful if you read it as a refresher.

And no worries—there have been no major issues! We've just had an influx of new people these past few months, which is always awesome but requires a bit more moderating than usual. You can help out by being aware of the things that most commonly need moderating! Thanks so much!

In celebration of the birthday of this most-beautiful building (a few days late, I know), I upload these photos I took on my recent visit to its majestic halls. Nowhere else have I seen such beauty nor felt such awe; it is a sanctuary for divine art and a fitting home for the Angel of Music.

Words cannot express my love for it, so I won’t even try.

Let me only say: Gaston Leroux NAILED its description in that book, both visually and atmospherically. That building IS Erik.

Some Leroux!Christine because I haven’t drawn her in literal years. 

I tried to give her really wide eyes (like Sarah Brightman)
