A blog for anything and everything

Once upon a time I was known as shadowed-dancer... I still am, I'm just on a different blog. If you want to see what I'm up to nowadays, go find me there!

It’s ready

Hey guys, it’s the blog formally known as “shadowed-dancer”. I have finished transferring (reblogging) my stuff and now MY NEW BLOG is done. Well, calling it new is a bit of a stretch. It’s actually my original main blog but I slapped a fresh coat of paint on it and now it’s pretty. You can find me here: https://shadowed-dancer.tumblr.com

Fun fact: if you dig through the archives of my new blog, you can find some of my earliest posts from my time of Tumblr!

Nighttime reblog to pass the word around. May do one final reblog tomorrow.

Ok I’m definitely transferring my stuff to my main blog. I gave it more thought and I’m going to start doing it today. Here's what’s going to happen.

  • This blog’s url will be changed (I’m thinking “gallifrey-girl” as a reference to my old blog)
  • My main blog’s url will be changed to “shadowed-dancer”
  • I will reblog most of my stuff from here on to my new blog
  • I’ll post a message here saying that I’m done transferring my stuff and I’ll provide a link to my new blog

I’m going to leave this blog up just for fun, but it will be pretty (if not entirely) inactive.

Thinking of making some changes

Hey guys, so for those of you who don't know this is actually a sideblog, meaning I can't follow, like, respond, or ask anything under this name. This annoys me to no end and it all started because 14 year old me decided to choose a different name when she started tumblr. I've looked into it and it seems there's no way to make this my main blog so I have a question: If I renamed my main blog with this URL, would anyone go follow me there? I'd go through and reblog my stuff from here and then we can just pretend everything is back to normal.

one of my absolute favorite differences between the novel and the musical is how often erik is seen because in the musical it’s like

we don’t know what the opera ghost looks like is he here is he there WHO KNOWS

And in the books it’s

the opera ghost came to our dinner party and made everyone uncomfortable

Wishing Gown Progress 2

School started again but I got a little more done on my wishing dress! I added the apron and side parts on the skirt and also added the train!

I’m not wearing any petticoat in the photos so the skirt it a little flat. I need to add a bow at the top of the train and tighten the bodice so it’s not as loose. I also need to start styling the wig! I have a break week in February so if I can’t work on it soon, I’ll definitely get it done then.

so, i’m reading christina nilsson’s biography (sort of) and oh man

it seems that all our christine daaé kulning hcs are canon

holy shit, the second part she ever sang was the queen of the night are you kidding me

okay apparently nilsson was so brilliant as ophelia in m. ambroise thomas’ “hamlet” (y’all may have seen this illustration of her floating around) that this poet guy wrote a fucking poem about her performance

Translation by me:

Of her whiteness, jealous time has taken nothing away,

On the virginal forehead of Ophelia herself,

Shakespeare has solely placed a diadem.”

Theres a biography?? Where do I find one?! I need one in my life!!

Note the “(sort of)” in my original post, it’s barely 30 pages long, and really scant, but it’s all we have (at least to my knowledge); it mainly details her career, not her personal life.

If you’re still interested, it’s called “A Star of Song: The Life of Christina Nilsson” and you can read it online here.

You can also get a physical copy from Amazon, here.

Thank you so much @lalyredapollon! 30 pages is better than nothing.

Laird Mackintosh and Eryn Lecroy, Broadway. This was taken at the matinee show on January 2, 2019. It is only a minute of footage and I combined the four 15 second videos to make it easier. Again, Eryn’s high notes sound amazing!

La pomme d’eau. La pomme de terre. Le pomme de feu. La pomme d’air. Il y a très longtemps ces quatre patates vivaient en harmonie. Mais un jour, la pomme du feu décida de passer à l'attaque.
