Dearest Phantom,

What is your favorite poem, and why? I find poetry to be rather romantic.

-👁️‍🗨️ anon

Oh, absolutely. One of the most blood-red heartfelt organic forms of romance. If you just have to tie me up like this and narrow it to poems intended to be written poems, as opposed to all the poetry that comes from accidental prose and other unlikely places, then… two come tied for first place-

This poem by June Jordan is very important to me, though short, it’s resonant… it rings of home. My other top favorite is Candles by Sylvia Plath- I’ll link it instead, since it’s rather long, but I’m very attached to the nurturing aspect of it. It’s so beautiful.

I have many more in my arsenal that are more direct love poems, I suppose, but a poem needn’t speak of romance to be inherently romantic, mm?

Thank you. It… means a lot that someone is willing to seek me out in such a manner.

In which tech theater is one of Melvin’s niches, a way to express himself and his innovation, a safe haven of self expression- little does he know it will become his only saving grace in more ways than one.

—-Information: his local theater was his outlet and safe space but nobody ever appreciates it (and especially notices tech theater for all the work they do.) often he invents his own things to make the shows even more amazing; set dressings and robotic things and fantastical inventions !! one such thing would be his hail-mary, a completely fed-up madman losing to his own need to be noticed. after the monstrous accident, he fixed himself and built himself his new form with great hodgepodge difficulty, then decided to never go out into the light of day again- the stage, his world, was the only thing that loved him, the only thing that found him beautiful and recognized him. he watches george and harold, the genius playwrights become more and more successful as their stories come to life, watching, wishing he could be viewed as a beautiful visionary just as that. also captain underpants sings opera. and is krupp when he’s offstage. —-The Accident: he planned a contraption that was a giant wooden puppet dragon, moving across the back of the stage as one of the most outstanding set pieces he'd ever made- hell, it would even breathe fire! it was so stressed against its capabilities that the machinery broke, unable to stop the movement. it careened backstage, running over melvin and causing the phantom's disfigurement; but instead of just his face, it was the entire half of his body. obviously lol. fun fact- in stead of the nonlinear time travel thing happening, the accident happens when melvin is 17 and already well-established. his fate was set in stone.
