one of my favorite this american life segments of late is about the people who played orchestra pit for phantom of the opera on broadway and how, like, a sizeable majority of them had literally been playing the show since it opened in 1988 (on broadway. I know it opened in 86 on the west end, you random pedants, but I am specifically talking about broadway musicians) because their contracts stipulated that they'd have jobs throughout the show's entire run... but nobody anticipated that phantom would become the longest-running broadway show of all time.

and none of these people wanted to walk away from a guaranteed job, so very few of them ever quit. they just kept doing the same show eight nights a week... for twenty or thirty years... and by the time it finally closed last year most of these musicians (who had been working together for DECADES) hated each other and really really fucking loathed phantom. I can't stop thinking about it. it's indescribably hellish to imagine but also the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life.

[ID: excerpt from an article reading: One of my favorite stories, which should drive anyone who has every played in a band crazy-- there’s this bassoon player who has sat next to the same clarinet player since 1988. She’s convinced he plays half a note4 flat on every note he’s every played. He denies this. /]

#SATURDAY SATURDAY SATURDAY 🩵🩷💛

HAPPY SATURDAY!!! how are you doing? we’ve nearly made it through another week and we hope you're having a great day. now here is a sai question for you:

pink hair tyler or frosted tips tyler?

- eddie and pøppy (<- @frozen-days-of-the-week)

This was a tough one!!! I've got a lot of love in my heart for the silly little video of Josh accidentally turning his hair pink with his beam attack, so I think I have to go with pink!

I'm so happy I could be part of the @ffgentszine with my three fave bois! It was incredibly nostalgic to draw them again. And of course they're snacking.

If you missed the zine, leftover sales are still running. Please do give them a look. The zine is gorgeous and absolutely worth it!

the operative romantic fantasy of black sails is obviously to get so close to the beloved that you usurp them and can stand where they once stood, thereby believing you've incorporated what you found so unreachably, untouchably beautiful about them into yourself until reality reminds you you're just a copy, flat as the image in a mirror, degraded by the mimetic process. the operative sexual fantasy of black sails is to convince a bunch of people who hate you to let you order them around
