Everyday I'm Usherin'

Our phave phantoms come in all masks and sizes. Coutresy of Silver Drgnbane on Pinterest!

Nice to know my art made it to Pintrest and then back to Tumblr without my permission.... This version was posted on DeviantArt here:

Also, this used to be a game.

Game Rules:

1. Don’t delete the rules!

2. Look at the masks and try to name as many of the origins as you can off the top of your head.  These are all from legit movies, book covers, theater, and games.  No version has two masks shown.  That means the little black one is NOT Gerard Butler’s PonR mask.  Guess again!

3. Take that number and compare to this scale:

1-3: Ratcatcher 4-6: Stagehand 7-9: Chorus girl 10-12: Manager 13-15: Patron 16-18: Prima Donna 19-21: Opera Ghost

4. Reblog and write your level name in the caption so all your friends can see how much of a crazy phan you are!

5. Don’t mention the mask origins in the reblog so everyone can have a fair go at it.  If you are absolutely stumped by one feel free to ask me! 

Shall we play again?

If not counting the Asian productions, POC Raouls seems far and few. At the top of my head I can only think a handful:

Others to add to the list?

I want a story about an Italian vampire.

No romance, no action.

Just 200 pages of “What do you mean, I can’t have garlic? Do you know where I’m from?”

TBH I think the main issue would be the mirror thing

have you ever met an Italian man

the amount of time they spend looking in the mirror jfc

#the more you think about it the more all vampire rules are just anti-italian rules#can’t go out in sunlight?? IN ITALY???#Can’t go near crucifixes? IN ITALY???

a bunch of pissed off vampires stuck in Venice because they can’t go over moving water

Not to victim blame, but you’d have to be a pretty bad Italian to even get turned into a vampire in the first place.

the only two places practically immune to vampires are texas and italy

Let me tell you of A Thing.

Lithuania has no vampires, I guarantee it.

Good post, except for the Texas addition. Texas is like, supernatural HEAVEN, and vampires are no exception. Miles and miles of flat plains, woods, farmland, ghost towns. Abandoned buildings are as commonplace as weeds. Plenty of undiscovered limestone caves. In the country, there’s no one around to hear you scream. Body disposal is easy too. No one thinks twice if a body turns up looking like beef jerky because our days are so dry and hot that the dead mummify quickly. That is, if the body even turns up, after our vast population of carrion birds have had their share of it. Sure, it’s full of superstitious god fearing southerners, but it’s hard to truly realize just HOW far apart everything is. In the time it takes me to get out of this state, i could have crossed 3 European countries. Sure, Vampires would have to share the space with other supernatural beings such as El Chupacabra, but if the food is plentiful and the environment safe, then why complain?

Rian the fanboy.

get you a man who can do both

one of my patients came in for an emergency visit, because she snapped the wire on her retainer watching the movie when MBJ took his shirt off she clenched her teeth so fucking hard she snapped it. that is the fucking funniest shit ever to me this tiny 17 year old girl thirsting so goddamn hard she busted steel

Y'all, it gets better. She found out.

We interviewed her, obviously.

update:

Congratulations to The Shape of Water on winning 4 Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Production Design and Best Original Score.

you can make nearly any object into a good insult if you put ‘you absolute’ in front of it

example: you absolute coat hanger

as well u can just add ‘ed’ to any object and it’s sounds like you were really drunk

example: i was absolutely coat hangered last night

#i was gazeboed mate #i was absolutely baubled

Meanwhile, “utter” works for the first (e.g., “you utter floorboard”) but somehow “utterly” doesn’t seem to work as well for the second (“I was utterly floorboarded”).

Utterly doesn’t work for drunk because it’s the affix for turning random objects into terms for *shocked*, obviously.

… huh.  I thought that might just be the similarity to “floored”, and yet “I was utterly coat hangered” does seem to convey something similar.

I have to tell you, I am utterly sandwiched at this discovery.

Completely makes the phrase mean “super tired”.

“God, it’s been a long week, I am completely coat-hangered.”

Something is

Something is wrong with our language

Is it a glitch or a feature?

Feature

Alternative ending A: You need to lose weight.

Alternative ending B: You say you’ve never had piv sex but we need to run three different pregnancy tests for reasons. All negative? You need to lose weight.

related: :/ you’re trying to scam the government you’re just lazy you’re not ACTUALLY in pain

Alternative ending C: [Crawls to the doctor with internal organs rotting and spittig up blood] Doctor: ‘You know you are a woman, and women then to exaggerate pain. Just take two aspirin and drink water, no need for any tests”

Alternative ending D: *assumes the person is a drug addict making up a story to get pills*

Alternative ending E, which is closely related to A and B: Have you tried eating healthier?

-Mod Bella

Dentist ending: You need to floss more. 

“The first film adaptation was made in Germany in 1915, with Nils Chrisander as the Phantom of the Opera.”

Here he is, my friends. The OG O.G. Quite a handsome one at that!

Illustrations from Jennifer Bassett’s Phantom of the opera book. You can find it in the e-book masterlist.  The audiobook is also here: https://youtu.be/OvUm795Edg8

I’ve been listening to podcasts recently and I think it’s long past due that we have another Phantom-themed one considering that the few times I’ve come across random podcast episodes that discuss it, it’s always in a negative light. I’d like to see a return to a place to discuss the books, movies, stage productions, themes, characters, the creativity in the Phandom, etc. in perhaps a round table discussion format with guests like @ancientphantom, @phantomonabudget, @operafantomet, etc.

And, as I think I’ve mentioned before, I’d call it, The View (from Box Five).

Do you think we could get Barbara Walters to come out of retirement host it? Anybody know if she’s a Phantom fan?

he knows exactly what y'all are into

SUBMISSION: Soooo, I saw this ad (first time) for the Swedish Gothenburg POTO. Do you have any speculation what the h*ck they’re doing/going for?

MY COMMENT: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

I can’t explain that mask. No-one can explain that mask. But why oh WHY - for the love of God, why - must non-replica productions go for weird gold masks? I mean, the Restaged UK Tour’s Red Death mask:

Which - correct me if I’m wrong - split into two pieces, but that was too tricky an act so in the US leg of the tour they wear it as a half mask:

And then, of course, it’s the Finnish/Swedish mask with leather strap and 1980s graphic strass eye decoration:

And then - BOOM - Norway also wanted to play, and put this gold mask super model on their posters:

Meanwhile I’m just… GOLD…? The Phantom? His mask? How? Why?

WHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?!?!?!?!?!???

HOW. DID. I. FORGET. THE. ORIGINAL. ??!? DANG!!!

Was Goldmember a producer?
