can we talk about the changes for samantha silhouettes they make me feral

[luna-azzurra]

Writing taught me that the most interesting thing about a person is never what happened to them. it's what they decided it meant. two people can go through the exact same thing and build completely different selves out of it. the event is just the event. the story they tell about it is who they become. I think about this every time i catch myself retelling something from my own life and notice i've quietly changed what it meant. we are all editing ourselves constantly.

[filthy-bonnet]

GURRRLLL....what are you doing???!?!

[lavenderpr1nce]

I think this pride month we should all get normal about trans men/mascs with long hair

[filthy-bonnet]

Hair length based on gender is a social construct. Wear your hair however you want to.

[cr3ntist]

I just need to keep drawing them being soft and then maybe everything will be okay.

hey you. teenage girl writing in her diary. quit talking about the boy you have a crush on and start writing about the current political situation, the valuation of currencies, and the level of technology your people hold. your diary might be the only piece of evidence our society existed after nuclear war fries all of our data backups. future historians don't need to know about damian, they need at least a secondhand accounts of the great water wars and whether or not your leaders truly did worship a deity called "the free hand of the market"

[mothnem]

Keep writing about your crush Teenaged Girl. About your clothes, and how that other girl wore the same dress as you. Paint me a picture of what you were like.

[enchantedlantern]

Historians are going to hear about Damian and they're gonna LIKE IT

[therealbeachfox]

Make those future Historians reverse engineer the socioeconomic hierarchies of the 21st century from dreamy descriptions of Damian's current fashions. It's giving them enrichment.

[vaspider]

Talk about the things you want to talk about. You never know what mysteries your diary might solve in future generations bc you are the only person who talks about something that other people thought was too obvious to talk about, like whatever that third condiment dish that used to be on the table with salt and pepper was for.

[beatrice-otter]

It was mustard. There's actually a decent number of advertisements and household guides and so forth that give details.

[redrikki]

As a professional historian who just spent my morning reading through people's diaries, I'd love to learn about Damian, actually. Tell me all about how much you hate the teachers in X class and what's happening on your social media feed and all that daily life shit. If your writing is going to be the last record of a lost society, let it be real and let it be human.

[filthy-bonnet]

For real. So much social and personal history is pushed aside for the big events. And you know what social and personal history is and was for most of history: women's history. Knowing about what someone wore, or social workings of relationships was deemed frivolous compared to war because they were the things women cared about. But they are not.

but like do u truly understand how Clay and Frankie would absolutely KILL devil take the hindmost

Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess "Rierra" Timeline

So I've talked about this with several people so I decided I would go ahead and make loose timeline of Ramin and Sierra and their "friendship."

2008: first photo of them ever together for Love Never Dies reading:

Love Never Dies Opening and then a very performative one of Ramin kissing his wife:

Love Never Dies behind the scenes:

That moment where it's like oh yeah he's married and she's supposed to be engaged to Tam:

25th Anniversary:

Japan Concerts:

The tweet heard round the Phandom:

What was up between Ramin and Sierra and his wife?

Found this gem looking for a different photo. Dates circa 2017-18:

When you ended you engagement with one of them after only a year but you've been hung up on the other for over a decade (including that year).

From here you can start to see a turn in their body language, especially Sierra's.

Their 2019 Ft. Lauderdale concert I went to. This is the last time we'd see them interact in person until the Lucy Simon tribute in 2022. I note in person because 2020-21 they did do several live streams together.

Lucy Simon tribute 2022. Here she is engaged to her now husband.

Ramin isn't at her wedding, we don't see them interacting at all on Instagram.

April/May 2026, Sierra starts dropping hints about a "Dear Old Friend" who will be at her London show. He shows up and they sing "Once Upon Another Time."

We get this from her Instagram:

He gives us this:

Riley Noland, Think of Me.

Masquerade NYC x MAC cosmetics

[filthy-bonnet]

I made this new account because my original has been marked as explicit for well over a month now and I'm tired of it. If I really wanted to make a new account to reblog from people who knew who I was and had me blocked I wouldn't have made my name so similar to my old one. I'm not even paying attention to who I'm reblogging from. I'm just reblogging based on what I like.

I'm sad to see people are still so obsessed with me in such a way that they must sound the alarm and that friends of mine in the Phandom have to bring it to my attention. Plenty of people in the Phandom across various social media platforms know who I am and my "notorious" history in the Phandom and yet have gotten to know me and see that's not really who I am. I have met some of them in real life recently at Masquerade.

If people want to keep judging me for what others have said or things I said just because I knew there was no point in arguing, that's on you. I know this Phandom can be toxic which always makes me laugh because the source material is about forgiveness and acceptance.

Clay already out here enjoying his time off

[rose-margaritas]

I finally saw Masquerade in NYC last week (in addition to meeting a bunch of phandom people irl), and I can’t express how much I love Clay Singer and Riley Noland’s performance. The bed scene was especially something else, so much so that I had to draw it or else it would’ve haunted me until my next trip back. And honestly, how am I supposed to be normal until then?!

All of this is to say: people need to go see Pulse 5. I personally already can’t wait to go back.

《Acceptance》

Every time I think back to seeing Clay as Phantom two months ago, or hear someone share a story about what they witnessed when they saw him perform, another idea finds its way into my head. The moment that inspired this piece was the single teardrop falling from Clay's face to the floor as he lifted his head into the light at the very end of Final Lair. It's such a small moment, but somehow it captures everything that made his Phantom so unforgettable— the heartbreak, the vulnerability, the longing, and the humanity.

I feel incredibly lucky to have experienced Pulse 5 with some of my best phandom friends at my very first Masquerade. Clay's Final Lair is one of those performances that stays with you long after the curtain falls. Their portrayal has a way of twisting your heart and making you feel every emotion right alongside them. So, this piece is dedicated to Clay Singer on their final day with Masquerade (for now). Come back to the Op Pop soon!!
