I really like “No Comeback,” but I also like Electra staying. Here’s a thing: There are pictures from the original production where the components are in the finale, but Electra isn’t. So... they stayed while he left? Can we have “No Comeback” and Electra throwing his tantrum, but he does come back because his crew decided to stay? 🥺

#Volta: ''Babe can't we stay? I like it here.'' 🥺 #Electra: 🙄 ''...Fine.'' 😒 #electra the electric engine #stex #starlight express #stex original london cast #original london cast #commentary #text post #stills #1980s

les mis enjoyers i have a question okay

#i have a lot of opinions about this btw #namely that the ranking of which ones are the best goes: #1985 london cast recording #1991 paris cast recording #1980 recording (disco enjolras) #and then everything else is irrelevant #and it always catches me out when people quote things with different lyrics #like drink with me #because fr i'm exclusively used to the original english lyrics #les miserables

When people continually whitewash my favourite characters.

^thank you @describe-things

#This is mainly about Noé Archiviste. But also I will not forget what some people did to Simon Petrikov either when I was watching f&c #I’m so desperate for drawings of them. But for the love of God，is it that difficult? Somehow every other hexadecimal of their #Character design is exactly on model other than their skin. Just. . #OH YEAH I FORGOT KAEYA. FFS. Somehow it’s always the K**luc-ers that always do it. Which makes sense because they disregard his entire char #And with the new influx of atla fans people have been whitewashing Katara too! And I mean drawings of the original show too #probably delete later #And no one seems to have any problems with it? Especially if it’s sexualised art *talking more about Kaeya & Noé here. #People who whitewash the few (and when I say few I literally mean 5/82 playable characters) darker genshin characters. Actually fuck off #If I see ‘it’s just my art style’ or ‘it’s just the lighting’ *every other colour than the skin hasn’t been lightened in the slightest* #One more time-i’m going to explode #Oh and while I’m on this topic! Fuck Bochum for whitewashing literally the entire starlight express cast! Electra being the first ever #non binary character in musical theatre while also being played by black actors. And then Bochum happened. #When was the last time Pearl or Rusty had actors who weren’t white? Literally the last character who hasn’t been replaced is Momma/Poppa. #And being black is so integral to their character and music. You quite physically couldn’t #I really really hope the casting for the London performance this year is like the 1984 cast again. Please.

doing your makeup with phantom of the opera characters !

✧ warnings: none!

✧ characters included: christine daaé, erik destler, raoul de chagny, meg giry, carlotta giudicelli

✧ additional info: these can be read as any versions! however characters like christine and meg are mainly based off the book and musical versions :) can also be read platonically OR romantically

✧ nav. — m.list

*ೃ༄ christine daaé

she does her makeup with you!

i feel like she prefers doing hers with someone in the room so she can a second opinion on how hers looks and she’ll do the same for them

she’d probably ask you to help her put some of it on cause book!christine canonically has bad vision

and she’d ask to do some of urs for funsies :)

despite her bad eyesight i feel like she’s actually very good at it cause she’s gotten used to it

overall a very nice experience cause christine is such a cutie <3

ೃ༄ erik destler

he’s intrigued

i feel like he also knows how to do makeup cause he wanted to cover up his face

anyway!! he’d only know how to use foundation and stuff for ur skin so hes rlly interested in mascara and eyeliner and eyeshadow and that stuff

100% let’s u try lipsticks on his arm

he also gives u his honest opinion on ur makeup when ur finished or almost finished (i hc hes brutually honest)

he also asks like a lot of questions

“what’s this” and he’s holding ur highlighter

probably also wants u to put some on him but is too afraid to ask

ೃ༄ raoul de chagny

he’s kind of like christine

but he’s much more energetic abt it

will suggest u wear the sparkliest eyeshadow he can find 😭

other than that he knows literally nothing about makeup but still wants to try and do it for you

and it’s best to say no because chances are he’ll fuck it up (badly)

he’ll also randomly pick something up and put it on himself for funsies

when he finds ur blush he’ll put them directly on his cheeks in circles like when little kids find their moms makeup

probably takes forever to clean him up too

he’s rlly inquisitive during it and asks nonstop questions but most of them are just to be annoying

ೃ༄ meg giry

almost the same as raoul but she mainly just yaps the whole time

it’s actually a very calming experience with her surprisingly

u just sit there and do ur thing and she’ll mind her own business and talk abt her day and asks abt urs too!

it’s also a gossip session

“i heard that carlotta might get fired and replaced by christine” is probably a common one

another one who’s brutually honest and gives her opinion

is not afraid to tell u if u look like shit but like 99% of the time she tells u look absolutely lovely

ೃ༄ carlotta giudicelli

so as we all know she’s kinda mean.. so she’s also very honest about your makeup

if your friends she’ll most likely just be saying it to make sure u look ur best, even if she is a little rude about it

if she doesn’t like you she just wants to piss you off

but she probably also wouldn’t be there if y’all weren’t friends

i feel like if u were taking too long or just didn’t look good enough (to her standards) she’d just be like “oh my god let me” and start doing it for u

if she’s not doing that she’ll use the time to practice her singing

she enjoys ur company and probably becomes nicer during this time <3

Hey guys. Long time no post 🥀 I started a class on quantitative reasoning back at the end of June and it has had my soul strung on a wire since. When I tell you I've been exhAUSTED TO THE POINT OF DESPAIR — I have. But I feel kinda better now. I still have one week to go, so wish me luck, but hopefully after that I'll be active again.

I'm sorry I've neglected y'all and the blog, but passing math has been my top most priority and sometimes we have to prioritize things we don't particularly like.

How's everyone been? Knowing my luck I've probably missed something hilariously scandalous on TESblr. 🤣

#not tes #i think I'll pass math with an a that's what i need for my 4.0 #there's no such thing as effortlessly smart when it comes to math #i just want to play skyrim and headbsng to the phantom of the opera original london cast recording is that so wrong? #oh yeah the only things that have sustained my soul for the last 7 weeks have been my new violin (a present) and my current poto obsession #if i use the poto musical as a quotes source then it'd be all over for you people #BEHOLD SHE IS SINGING TO BRING DOWN THE CHANDELIER #yeah #mod post

every time i seriously consider going to hamburg to see german ham i remember some of the german lyrics and immediately overthrow those plans

#i could go to london... it's only an hour or so more on a plane #i could also be a normal person and accept that i'd probably only truly enjoy seeing the original cast 😔 #as my friend said it; 'no one could do it like him!' #(ignoring that she was - rightfully - talking about leslie as burr and i was talking about lmm as ham) #(is it really ham if it isnt lmm's reedy little voice lol...)

Personally, I feel that Greaseball’s entire original outfit needs to be brought back. But can we at least get the belt skulls back? It adds to his Bad Boy™ Rockstar persona!

Dad went to put on the Les Mis soundtrack after thanksgiving dinner by using voice commands. Immediately, my siblings and I all jumped up to correct him before it could play the Incorrect One. But it’s okay. No need for panic. We managed to get the 1985 Original London Cast playing before there could be any bloodshed.

#we are very particular about our preferred Les Mis recording in this house #dad once bought the original Broadway cast on cd when he couldn’t find the London cast in the house #there were almost riots because it was Wrong #I’ve been in this fandom since infancy and I regret nothing #Les Mis was the soundtrack to my entire childhood #les miserables
