A wonderful notes header from Morgan!

@from-aldebaran-: I almost put on Cooper Grodin as the preshow as I was panicking @GlassPrism: @-Aldebaran- We should definitely play the entire Cooper video but in 10 minute parts, over the course of multiple streams @Aldebaran-: Celina this an idea worth considering @GlassPrism: @paperfaces Thank you so much, I have all these great ideas and no one ever appreciates them, thank you for acknowledging that I am a genius ahead of my time
@batherik: I wonder if you could secretly rig a music box to go off at random times before giving it away as a gift

@funeral-lilies: andrew lloyd webber really said sarah brightman is my roman empire @funeral_lilies: thank you sarah brightman for all your sacrifice
@warpweight: thought about the passage of time re: the phantom -> immediately thought about the part in the better man when raoul is like "hard to tell if this guy aged due to his mask and cunt slay and general untouched-by-time old-since-birth energy. got some eye crinklies though. which just make him MORE fuckable. God dammit"
stream fic rec: Crawl for me by @songdancepsychopaths; Kaleidoscope by @danygiry: @paperfaces: Anyone who likes meg/rik, please read kaleidescope by danygiry please and thank you. i didnt give a fuck about megrik until that fix now i cant stop thinking about them; The Fly Agaric by @les-gnossiennes-fantomatiques
@paper-faces: okay can we bee serious for a second. its really hard for me to not say this every stream. i love me a gorgeous thicc carlotta. i love boobs. i love hips. i love her beauty and voice and weell yeah our thicc carlottas are my dream girlfriend if i was in the market for a girlfriend ty for coming to my teed talk @-Aldebaran-: Rachel I do believe that was not a Ted talk but a tit talk @GlassPrism: @beyond-this-illusion Tbh I think a lot of casts got the 25th anniversary DVD to review.

@paperfaces: okay lets be real i would TOTALLY pretend to be her angel of music, kidnap her to my lair, and murder a few people for her, ngl
@GlassPrism: Lemme see, her voice is one of a kind - it sounds a bit squeaky here but it's so strong, especially on the high notes (also supposedly more resonant if heard in a theater and not a bootleg) @GlassPrism: Her Christine could be so different with each Phantom - with JOJ she tended to push back against him more and was more open with her emotions, with Earl she's calmer and more reserved @warpweight: SHE'S SO GOOD her voice is so unique and timeless and her ACTING is SO. Soooo o oughkjfgn @GlassPrism: But at heart she's a very observant Christine with a compassionate heart but who also seems to keep her feelings to herself, but they are there, and she has a spine of steel hidden beneath it
@-Aldebaran-: I almost said "period face" but then realized what that would sound like @les-gnossiennes-fantomatiques: yes deb, she has this soft sort of beauty from another timeeee ahhhhh
@maroogaly: Needed madame Giry as my wedding planner
@paperfaces: i cannot be normal about him i cannot be normal about him

@warpweight: you know who's old? the phantom of the opera. and to support the age difference you always gotta be kicking it higher and higher as you age. eventually you're 90 and he's haunting the care facility and you're sneaking down to the boiler room to get crazy basement dick from a man who is One Hundred And Thirty
@les__gnossiennes: he wants that brow to be seen in the baccccck
@beyond-this-illusion: He did a little like, drop of his cloak over his shoulder as he looked at her. Striptease rik
@haunted-hideaway: The more they look like Valentino on their good side, the more I'm there for it. @haunted-hideaway: Or if they look like Conrad Veidt I love that too
@GlassPrism: I like how he sings each word like it's meaningful, if that makes sense
@lit-ari-ture: This man has some of the most beautiful hands and wrists of our lifetimes.
@GlassPrism: I had a friend who recommended him to me by saying "he's the first Phantom whose MOTN made me cry"
@kyannnite: i love this terrified sopping wet man. i hope he crawls so good. squrims and slithers even
@paperfaces: barely related but i call him whiplash phantom bc hhe goes from confidnt (enough) to scared the fuck out so fast and so often its horrible
@warpweight: his portcullis pose is so like "i just hang out here, the drama is just carrying me here, i have to express myself by flinging myself on this set piece" versus. Some Phantoms
@funeral_lilies: GETTING CZECHOSLOVAKIAN WITH IT [LILIES yes I love this!]
@-Aldebaran-: Ouch, he is so wishing his face was not That Way right now
@dot-qhost: i still think about that one (1) tweet that said the top of their hierarchy of maslows needs was a body pillow bookrik with his mask OFF
@les__gnossiennes: i love him but i do think a hit of pussy would actually kill him
@carlottadefender: @glassprism I'm curious, have you ever come across any boots or audios where the recorder is like, audibly crying, or do those tend to not be released? lol @litloverscorsetlaces:@lit-ari-ture: Carlottedefender there are bunches! @GlassPrism: @carlottadefender Oh yeah, there's video of the last show in Sao Paulo where the whole audience is crying @lit-ari-ture: In Hugh's last '05 boot, the master was absolutely crying in the background @GlassPrism: Same for the last show of LND in London
@paperfaces: she wakes up so cuuteely @funeral_lilies: she's so cozy
@beyond-this-illusion: Like the ones that you rub one way and it changes color @Aldebaran-: Illusion I am sure if one rubbed Erik one way he would change color
@Aldebaran-: I wonder if he is realizing just how ...not well...he is right here @phaptomoftheopera: oh the self loathing is palpable @CharlieRaine: HES ROTTEN @dimmedghosts: HE CRAWLS LIKE A CRAB
@-Aldebaran-: We will crawl again for Moth and Eva and...me [THANK YOU DEB!]
@dimmedghosts: HIM TALKING TO GOD FOR SALVATION?????????? @wismoth: EARL YOU CANT REACH FOR HEAVEN LIKE FHAT THE CRAWL???? @dimmedghosts: HE IS LIKE AN INJURED ANIMAL TRYING TO DEFEND HIMSELF @les__gnossiennes: man who cries over diaper commercials can have such a sensual energy sometimes @opera-ghost: (tucker carlson voice) now the phantom just scoots, they won't let him crawl anymore. and i'm supposed to be attracted to this? @dimmedghosts: HE WAS BORN 10 MINUTES AGO @warpweight: THAT SHOE EXTENDED. WHY IS THAT slut
@lonlonranching2: also im at my moms for the weekend so airplaying it on her tv and she's like why does it keep skipping back? and im like NO TIME TO EXPLAIN
@GlassPrism: He kept fleeing stage door because he was so shy @Lizzie_Boredom: Celina say it isn't so. I can't want this man more
[I didn't catch the question] @-Aldebaran-: This was before David Shannon played the Phantom
@nerdywriter36: omg wait, who got "demoted" @GlassPrism: Right now I can only think of Kalle Sepp, I think is his name? He was in the Estonian production, he was like an alternate Phantom at first and then became Raoul heh @GlassPrism: There was a Christine who got "demoted" to Meg too lol - Kaja Mianowana I think @dimmedghosts: celina has the brain power of 20000 data centers @-Aldebaran-: Celina doesn't use nearly as much water
@Aldebaran-: We need the reprise of the streams classic about the chair @Aldebaran-: Which I think was something like the spinning chair was invented by Thomas Jefferson in 1776???
@les__gnossiennes: destler does the same thing that hearing someone chew on a popsicle stick or eat vegetables loudly out of a can does to me
@dimmedghosts: HER @funeral_lilies: she looks like a 30s heroine
@les__gnossiennes: she has like such a weird quiet intensity when she locks in on this tortured borzoi @warpweight: my friends with a borzoi tried to take her on a little gentle river walk the other day and usually she gets out real quick but on that day she chose to just like, wade deeper and allow herself to slowly be pushed downstream @maroogaly: gnoss adding those exact words to my vows @les__gnossiennes: i once did borzoi rik somewhere in procreate. i just think-- @probablynotben: I once doodled Afghan Hound Raoul on a piece of notebook paper (inspired by 2004 movie Raoul's hair)
@funeral_lilies: this man is giving mr rochester
@lonlonranching: she picks raoul shes bound for the attic she picks rik shes bound to the basement

@lit-ari-ture: What if I just jumped off the roof? @Aldebaran-: We would all catch you Ari
@beyond-this-illusion: Maroo, Zac didn't even have to threaten to blow up an opera house for you to mary him. That's so progressive
Mid-stream videos! AIAOY Wedding String Quartet from Maroo, Earl Carpenter & John Owen Jones - MOTN, Phantom Flub - Earl Loses his Robe (shirtsleeves!)
@CharlieRaine: I love how madame giry does not dress up @phaptomoftheopera: commentary on the real mask being the social mask she wear everyday
@songdancepsychopaths: question, non moving people on the stairs - whats up with that? @warpweight: they saw medusa and were turned to stone. neglected subplot @CharlieRaine: are they actually mannequins…? @songdancepsychopaths: yeah they had the mannequins in the sydney production in 2008 but ive never seen it since and i wondered if that was normal for original staging
@les__gnossiennes: he is so long in this fit tf @-Aldebaran-: There's just grapes in the codpiece @lit-ari-ture: Large grapes @Aldebaran-: The original grapeman @Aldebaran-: I cannot imagine dropping through the floor of the stage in that costume @carlottadefender: -aldebaran- imagine you drop through and the codpiece gets caught on the edge of the trapdoor like that one olympic polevaulter @-Aldebaran-: His codpiece now filled with grapejuice
@lit-ari-ture: The cuckling cackler
@kyannnite: hes leaving devious tumblr anons @CharlieRaine: "do u have mask kink??-anon"

@opera-ghost: i keep getting y/k songs stuck in my head and every time i go back to listen to ALW phantom it's like that "welcome home cheater" image @MakeBelieveHusband: I have not been able to find the stage play of Susan Kay. I want to see it so bad @kyannnite: if there are no rips available on youtube I'll Make One @GlassPrism: There's links and stuff available to download it @mirrorbride: i have several y&k boots if needed @Aldebaran-: There is a Japanese (?) version of the Susan Kay play…I am not sure how available or if it is subtitled, but there are some great folks doing subtitling work and maybe that can be done
@britishchick09 has linked a susan kay phantom compilation x
@dot-qhost: i also have a weird complex about finding books myself In Person or through a friend @dot-qhost: which is how i came across phantom of manhattan and most of my copies are gifts from friends or i found em
@lit-ari-ture: Earl is far reaching i think @lit-ari-ture: But daddy in my heart @dot-qhost: i generally prefer far reaching but on FATHERS DAY WEEKEND????
@GlassPrism: This reminds me, here's compilation of Earl's 'Seal My Fate' during his vacation cover, bc he did the whole bit live
@opera-ghost: dong juan. assarino. rik i know what you are. @litloverscorsetlaces: He is just so much hand
@les__gnossiennes: am i allowed to say they are fly agaric to me is that huffing my own farts oh well

@Aldebaran-: Oh man he almost died right three
@dot-qhost: THE WAUY SHE PLONKS IT ON???? @kyannnite: THE WAY SHE PUTS IT ON @GlassPrism: Yeah that was 2000s blocking, where Christine would accept and put on the ring
@les__gnossiennes: im not scared of this man, he cries when u give him a greeting card with ziggy on it
@haunted-hideaway: HIs face is extra messed up. He looks like a cinnamon swirrel ice cream.
@Luukfy: the smirk, the disdain, the switcheroo between the calm and insanity.. also just how gentle he is a lot of the other time - Maroo, I can really see why you love Earl
@warpweight: it's fine i'm fine i can be interacted with in public i can leave the house normally i can be seen and no one will know on sight that i O
@GlassPrism: Part of him keeps saying "turn back this is bad" but the other part keeps going "no I've come too far"
@warpweight: i looooove when you can really feel that a phantom is doubling down on like "i've already fucked it up, why not keep fucking it" at every turn. but also at every turn he's like Damn! I should take my own life
@GlassPrism: But nope, come too far etc.
@warpweight: LOOKING AT HER LIKE "AW.. HEY... HEY WAIT A SEC.... NEVER MIND LET ME BE MEAN. WAIT I FEEL WORSE"
@kyannnite: earl has changed my brain chemistry. i think this is one of my favorite final lairs of all time now
@glassprism: He's shocked she even touched him heh
@kyannnite: hes not making it out of this one is he.
@GlassPrism: For the first and last time he lets someone touch his actual deformity; not the mask, his actual face @GlassPrism: Anyway thank you for enjoying my commentary, Earl brings it out in me lol
@warpweight: celina thank you for hitting us all with a shovel over and over again tonight. it is an honour to be rendered into ground meat by one with as much knowledge and composure as yo

I didn't catch who said Earlvulating, possibly @litloverscorsetlaces
People mentioned Katie Knight Adams a few times, I didn't catch the context, but here's her 2006 final lair with Earl, and an old post I found from @operafantomet about her
