I gave you my music, made your song take wing
And now, how you’ve repaid me, denied me and betrayed me
He was bound to love you, when he heard you sing…
[…]
You will curse the day you did not do
All that the Phantom asked of you!
As for our star, miss Christine Daae…
No doubt she’ll do her best
It’s true her voice is good
She knows, though, should she wish to excel
She has much still to learn
If pride will let her return to me
Her teacher, her teacher …
but his voice filled my spirit with a strange, sweet sound. in the night there was music in my mind. and through music my soul began to soar. and i heard as i’d never heard before.
God give me courage to show you, you are not alone.
I’ve been thinking about that soulmate au that’s like “you can hear your soulmates voice in your head, but only when they sing” and I’ve just been imagining Erik hearing Christine’s voice in his head for like, half his life and being like oh my god please get lessons and finally he hears her irl and is like FINALLY GIRL HERE’S HOW TO SING
Wait I need this
It’s been a long time since I lost my shit over the Simpsons, but can we talk about how much I screamed over Guillermo del Toro’s opening for this year’s Treehouse of Horror?
PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE.
Oh my goodness. This is beautiful.
Does this mean that Guillermo del Toro wants to make a Phantom of the Opera film? Because that would be beyond excellent. No, really. Please?
And can we talk about how that’s the original Gaston Leroux Phantom on the far right in the top photo?
I have just officially lost my shit!
