Double feature highlights, do her taxes sexual style stream notes
(title courtesy Mary<3) (UPD. Oh wait I forgot there's a header too!)
a pre-stream animatic from Deb <3
@TheEggSaysPLocklyer: back when filmers made dvds
[skip from Carlotta's opening aria] @marumotto: Rik edited the footage
@litloverscorsetlaces: Rebecca Pitcher is also the sister of Rob Pitcher, who was an understudy Rik in the hamburg production and was such a wonderful virginal Rik lol @lit-ari-ture: @Maroo Rob Pitcher's Rik has truly never known the touch of a woman. @maroogaly: it grows back if he doesn't use it @lit-ari-ture: For folks interested in Rob Pitcher, I made some gifs of him a while back
The happy clapper Raoul
@beyond-this-illusion: I saw a video clip recently where Rebecca said she had to try to warn her Phantom of trap doors that were still open from the candelabras during MotN with like just her expression. I have to look for it
@warpweight: respectfully: rebecca. your pitchers @GlassPrism: It's better than her nickname in ye olde days of the phandom, where she was called Rebecca Pitchy for certain, er, qualities of her voice
@warpweight: ugh she has such a fun character design!!! the way it's so recognizably rebecca pitcher even through the haze of years and pixels
@maroogaly: how dare they be mean to this angel, we should probably drop a chandelier over it
@GlassPrism: Oh I just remembered that TMG was called "DnD Raoul" because he decided what emotion he was going to act based on a roll of the dice
@dot-qhost: short king rik and short queen stine
@from-aldebaran: He actually vibrates his coat right off
HIM!
@motelpearl: we hired a male stripper for forests birthday @dimmedghosts: #whoremembers @lit-ari-ture: NATIONAL EMERGENCY @dot-qhost: STRIP! STRIP! STRIP! STRIP THE RIK!
@-Aldebaran-: You can see where he hesitated, he tried to go for the cape first and then remembered his hat had to go first
@AngelofMusicals87614: Peter Lockyer is probably better known for playing Jean Valjean in Les Miserables. He played the role for the Tour back in 2012-13 and then played the role in London around 2015-16 Basically being the defacto Valjean for London's 30th Anniversary
@dot-qhost: excellent choice i feel like im a female bird getting peacocked at . and its working .
@lizzie-boredom: One more thing I love about stream: different people love different riks. Like... this guy's not doing it for me. But i'm into the nakey
@warpweight: HE GOT THAT HARD DRACULA WIGGG
@ravens-repine: With the white I can really see the arm choices @from-aldebaran: It is so intimate in the shirtsleeves....
@GlassPrism: Ah he is a bit of a short king @GlassPrism: I heard 5'8? @maroogaly: 6 inches taller than me....hm. @dimmedghosts: 6 inches. heh @GlassPrism: @dimmedghosts The length of an average penis @-Aldebaran-: Celina
@maroogaly: god there's just something special about a Rik who looks like he could be snapped like a twig for kindling.
@Ravens_Reproach: Barb is the intimacy coordinator
@TheEggSaysPLocklyer: spread her like brie
@maroogaly: okay but why does he move like a perfect Rik - just. his gesturing at her like he really does know it all. He's about to tell her how to do her taxes sexual style.
@GlassPrism: Well at least he got the Mandarin coat on okay
@dimmedghosts: in his stupid little robe with his stupid little hat on @GlassPrism: It'd be funny if he messed that up too @GlassPrism: Phantoms sometimes struggle just to get into the Mandarin coat in the short time they have @backlitmademoiselle: i enjoy how all of the costumes so far are a bit too large. it makes it feel even more like he's playing pretend, putting on a show for her @motelpearl: theres a couple shirtsleeves stydi scenes too which i feel works better than the mandarin coat bc most people seeing phantom are unaware of chinoiserie and i feel like shirtsleeves makes him look more vulnerable even before hes unmasked
@beyond-this-illusion: "Noooo don't unmask me, you're so sexy hahaha."
@warpweight: ben crawford was kept in a windowless room before he started on broadway and it was only by terrible accident he was allowed out of that stimuli-free dungeon
@lit-ari-ture: I love when they put the one knee up lol
@Lizzie_Boredom: Celina do understudies get their own masks made? @GlassPrism: @Lizzie_Boredom Depends on the production. Some make masks that are individually fitted for all their Phantoms. In the US they just used 5-6 molds and whatever fits best is what the actor gets
[on Don Atillo's rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr] @GlassPrism: Yeah thought so, John Kuether was the guy known for that and he was definitely in the tour at this time
[the parts below is likely out of order, i copied in haste]
@paper-faces: swm erik too whimsical, full of hope, promising, and redeemable. @lit-ari-ture: "Don't look like a fridge." @GlassPrism: @paper-faces I can kind of see it because SWM takes a LOT of liberties. He has a TON of freedom in the role. Not quite Saulo levels, but he's getting there @paper-faces: @glassprism that makes sense tbh. and i know most people dont see the show a million times like us, but i just imagine that thats part of the fun of live theater? i know im speaking as a fan and not a business person
@probablynotben: Do you think they were told not to do it like the World Tour because that's the Hal Prince direction, and Cameron Mackintosh doesn't want to pay royalties for that? @GlassPrism: @probablynotben Possibly but I think SWM was also doing more than what was allowed in the Hal Prince direction. Like I feel like he'd be one of the guys Prince would swat for going off-script lol @GlassPrism: Which I know Prince did do to the West End production everytime he visisted @beyond-this-illusion: Hal Prince haunts SWM's dreams confirmed @GlassPrism: Also when he went to see the show in 2012-2013 he got so mad at some of the stuff they were doing apparently lolol. This was the Marcus Lovett era I think
@GlassPrism: So if your goal is to provide a consistent show where the audience will get the same experience, SWM going above and beyond, while great, is not being, well, consistent
@AngelofMusicals87614: According to John Owen-Jones, Hal Prince made him change something in his performance when he came to visit once
@GlassPrism: Hal Prince did hate it lol [the kneel i think?]
GlassPrism: @beyond-this-illusion He died around 2019, yeah, but he only visited the West End production every 5-6 years, so he might have missed Thaxton entirely even if he had survived. Thaxton only had a limited run as well
GlassPrism: But yeah going back to consistency - I will always be for the new and novel but I also get it, because you don't want audience members to, say, visit the US tour and then see snippets of the World Tour and feel like they missed out, ya know? @GlassPrism: And that was what Broadway did - it was very consistently the same, and it meant that it generally gave good performances, vs. the West End which had some high highs and some real lows lol
@AngelofMusicals87614: @Glassprism Hal Prince also lived in New York so he could visit the Broadway Production whenever he wanted? @GlassPrism: @AngelofMusicals87614 Yes and he worked with the new actors personally for Broadway as far as I know, hence how he was able to keep it the way it was
@warpweight: THE ROUGH CRYING OUUGH HE SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE IN THE NEXT STALL IN THE BATHROOM CRYING AT WORK @maroogaly: WARP....Rik and Christine meeting in the all gender bathroom ....he asks for toilet paper under the door to mop up his tears....
[Wishing] @paper-faces: hate to say it but this christine is LOVELY
@paper-faces: IT WAS FAR REACHING FRIENDS
@GlassPrism: What is cool is that the boots were only, what, 6 days apart? This is February 11, the next boot is from February 17, I think
@warpweight: it's so funny how like. in poto proper the phantom has less screentime and is like this kind of mysterious presence that flits in and out. and then LND is just The Erik Show. he's just chilling. it's Erik Hour @opera-ghost: warp exactly it's like if jaws 2 was from the shark's pov
@Bway-Ghost: It’s the mister Y show… @leeringsatyrs: Mister Y makes me so mad because Mister E was RIGHT THERE
@maroogaly: ....what if he was in his shirtsleeves for this..... @paper-faces: @ mary then christine would kiss him right away without the threats probs
@-Aldebaran-: His heart grew three sizes and now fits his suit @Ravens_Reproach: Deb, something else grew three sizes...
@motelpearl: he is NOT making it to coney island @GlassPrism: He is his own emotional comfort item
@-Aldebaran-: He actually has a full head of hair, he has just pulled it all out himself....
@maroogaly: he's bent over like he's trying to repeat his order through the wendy's microphone. but he's at arby's and doesn't know it. He's not making it to Curly Fryland @-Aldebaran-: He's bent over like a man who lived in a cage for part of his life...

Then I came back to Christine. She was waiting for me..."Erik here rose solemnly. Then he continued, but, as he spoke, he was overcome by all his former emotion and began to tremble like a leaf: "Yes, she was waiting for me... waiting for me erect and alive, a real, living bride... as she hoped to be saved..."

I laid out the crisis that I’m going through rn here, but to recap: I’m already going through absolute hell with my landlords putting me in a terrible position, but now my coworkers and I are dealing with our boss refusing to pay us on time, arbitrarily slashing hours (including hours already worked— one of my coworkers caught him retroactively adjusting a day where she clocked in at 11:30 AM to her starting at 1 PM), and generally terrorizing all of us but especially the staff of our newest location.
Today (June 23), I’m going to be making an in-person complaint to the NYC Department of Labor and the DCWP. In the meantime, though, I’m still struggling pretty badly (this has triggered so many overdraft issues that this is threatening to eat most of the paycheck when he does bother to pay us plus the one from my second job). I’m going to talk about swapping so my second job can become my primary position, but in the meantime, please keep this rotating and share anything you can. I’m sorry. I don’t know what else to do.
I went to go get a loan today and they said my pay schedule was too irregular to qualify me. I work full time and my job itself is preventing me from trying to help myself. I don’t know what to do anymore except ask for help.
My whole store is in an uproar today because we just realized July 3 is also a bank holiday and our boss has repeatedly used those as an excuse to pay us late. I applied for my current local dream job today, so wish me luck, but in the meantime please keep this circulating because I don't know how good or bad things are going to continue to be in the short term.
Happy Pride month to all the gay folks who should still be with us but were lost to AIDS. So many of them had (and continue to have) huge impacts on the world, despite their lives being tragically cut short.
Since this is primarily a Muppet blog, I wanted to take a moment to talk about Richard Hunt.
Richard Hunt was a gay man and a fantastic puppeteer who started working with Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson, and company in 1970 at age eighteen and joined the cast of Sesame Street two years later. While working with the Muppets, he originated the characters of Scooter, Beaker, Statler, Sweetums, and Wayne, but also became the primary performer of Janice and is responsible for the flower child personality she is now known for. He was also known to be a fantastic singer.
But maybe most importantly, he made so many people happy. According the book "Of Muppets and Men" by Christopher Finch, Hunt "seems to get more unadulterated pleasure from performing than anyone else in the organization. When he is not working on camera, he is apt to have Scooter or Beaker or Janice -- anyone -- on his arm for the purpose of entertaining... He makes the crew laugh, jokes with the guest star, clowns for the shop personnel. He is one of the chief reasons for the loose atmosphere that exists around Studio D despite the pressure and the slow pace that are endemic to television production."
Hunt died at age 41 due to AIDS complications. The Muppet Workshop made a panel for the NAMES Project AIDS quilt in his honor. The Richard Hunt Spirit Award is presented every year at the Sesame Street wrap party to the cast member that best honors Hunt's generosity and dedication on set.
Rest in peace Richard. Thank you for the laughs and the smiles, and happy Pride 💛
hey all, my friend Megan ( @ozymegdias) is a really lovely soul who’s currently run into some issues with her hours being cut, repeated late paychecks including this week, compounding ongoing difficulties with her landlords/roommates, and could use some help at the moment. Please boost if you can’t donate; details about her venmo/PayPal can be found here and every little bit helps 💚
Hey she’s now under @carlottagiudicellivevo and still needs some help from the links above, please help what you can this is nonsense she’s dealing with
hey guys guess who’s dealing with ✨wage theft✨
I have a second job now, and at this rate am planning on swapping the scheduling so that that can be perhaps my primary job, but I’m still dealing with knock-on effects from the last paycheck at this one being late, and now this is turning into an ouroborous that’s probably going to eat the pay from the second job when it drops too.
My scheduling manager at the second job is back in office this Monday and I’m going to ask if I can start training to take on another route so I can maybe make that my primary job instead, but I’m also going to try to seek legal recourse for this because enough is goddamn enough.
In the meantime, if there’s anything you can drop in my Venmo or PayPal, it’d be very appreciated and paid forward when things aren’t so dire 💜 I’m trying my best to dig out of this hole but it’s difficult when you don’t even get paid for being employed.
my coworkers and I are filing formal legal complaints about this but this nonsense is taking a huge chunk out of my paycheck, so if there's any way of keeping this in circulation, I'd really appreciate it!

Another week without a job. I had the one conditional job offer that was/is contingent on whether my misdemeanors would exclude me from employment, but for some reason I need to provide them with a physical Social Security Card vs just my SSN, and despite repeated attempts, I cannot get the SSN system to allow me to complete the application.
So, I've just continued to apply for jobs. I've filled out at least 10 more applications in the last few days. I've submitted well over a hundred in the past 6 months with little to no movement. Having zero income is more stressful than I can possibly express. The only reason I am not still living in my van is because I met a landlord with several properties who is one of the most altruistic people I've ever met, and has been letting me stay in a unit that is allocated to be remodeled. I am very lucky to say that he is a close friend now, and without him, I'd be SOL.
I'm tired all of the time. The act of having to put myself out there on a daily basis and get rejected time and time and time again is extremely disheartening. The plight of living in a small town to be close to my daughter until I can fight for custody, which I just will not be in a place to do until I have an income. It's all tied together, and just none of it is moving.
I don't have many friends anymore. I don't have people I hang out with on a regular basis, or really ever. I have two people I talk to on a daily basis; my sister and my daughter. No one checks in on me, no one offers to visit, no one calls. It's overwhelmingly lonely.
It's a Saturday, the weather is beautiful, but my gas tank is on empty and my tire is flat, so it looks like another day rotting in the apartment. Which I am, again, very thankful for, but I'm nomadic by nature. I need to be to out experiencing new things and places, or I stagnate. My weight is out of control at this point, because I'm so freaking depressed that some days it's hard to move. Some days it's hard to breathe. Some days it's he's to just be awake.
Sorry for being a Debbie Downer, I just really need to get these things out of my brain. As ever, I'm always hoping that things are about to turn around for me... I just wish they would.

@dimmedghosts: btw everyone behave a little bc maroogaly has us up on the jumbotron @maroogaly: Nooooo please don't this is my bacchanalia let the insanity commence
@from-aldebaran-: I almost put on Cooper Grodin as the preshow as I was panicking @GlassPrism: @-Aldebaran- We should definitely play the entire Cooper video but in 10 minute parts, over the course of multiple streams @Aldebaran-: Celina this an idea worth considering @GlassPrism: @paperfaces Thank you so much, I have all these great ideas and no one ever appreciates them, thank you for acknowledging that I am a genius ahead of my time
@batherik: I wonder if you could secretly rig a music box to go off at random times before giving it away as a gift
@angelofmusicals87614: Is that Wendy Ferguson as Carlotta? @onlyphantoms dot-qhost: IS THIS????? 25TH ANNIV CARLOTTA?????? [yes]
@funeral-lilies: andrew lloyd webber really said sarah brightman is my roman empire @funeral_lilies: thank you sarah brightman for all your sacrifice
@warpweight: thought about the passage of time re: the phantom -> immediately thought about the part in the better man when raoul is like "hard to tell if this guy aged due to his mask and cunt slay and general untouched-by-time old-since-birth energy. got some eye crinklies though. which just make him MORE fuckable. God dammit"
stream fic rec: Crawl for me by @songdancepsychopaths; Kaleidoscope by @danygiry: @paperfaces: Anyone who likes meg/rik, please read kaleidescope by danygiry please and thank you. i didnt give a fuck about megrik until that fix now i cant stop thinking about them; The Fly Agaric by @les-gnossiennes-fantomatiques

@carlottadefender: CHRISTiNE BABY CURLS YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS
@paperfaces: okay lets be real i would TOTALLY pretend to be her angel of music, kidnap her to my lair, and murder a few people for her, ngl
@GlassPrism: Lemme see, her voice is one of a kind - it sounds a bit squeaky here but it's so strong, especially on the high notes (also supposedly more resonant if heard in a theater and not a bootleg) @GlassPrism: Her Christine could be so different with each Phantom - with JOJ she tended to push back against him more and was more open with her emotions, with Earl she's calmer and more reserved @warpweight: SHE'S SO GOOD her voice is so unique and timeless and her ACTING is SO. Soooo o oughkjfgn @GlassPrism: But at heart she's a very observant Christine with a compassionate heart but who also seems to keep her feelings to herself, but they are there, and she has a spine of steel hidden beneath it
@-Aldebaran-: I almost said "period face" but then realized what that would sound like @les-gnossiennes-fantomatiques: yes deb, she has this soft sort of beauty from another timeeee ahhhhh
@maroogaly: Needed madame Giry as my wedding planner
@paperfaces: i cannot be normal about him i cannot be normal about him

@Lizzie_Boredom: Deb it's from a psycho fever dream 70's anime version of Jack and the Beanstalk. It was actually scary af
@warpweight: you know who's old? the phantom of the opera. and to support the age difference you always gotta be kicking it higher and higher as you age. eventually you're 90 and he's haunting the care facility and you're sneaking down to the boiler room to get crazy basement dick from a man who is One Hundred And Thirty
@les__gnossiennes: he wants that brow to be seen in the baccccck
@beyond-this-illusion: He did a little like, drop of his cloak over his shoulder as he looked at her. Striptease rik
@haunted-hideaway: The more they look like Valentino on their good side, the more I'm there for it. @haunted-hideaway: Or if they look like Conrad Veidt I love that too
@GlassPrism: I like how he sings each word like it's meaningful, if that makes sense
@lit-ari-ture: This man has some of the most beautiful hands and wrists of our lifetimes.
@GlassPrism: I had a friend who recommended him to me by saying "he's the first Phantom whose MOTN made me cry"
@kyannnite: i love this terrified sopping wet man. i hope he crawls so good. squrims and slithers even

@funeral_lilies: GETTING CZECHOSLOVAKIAN WITH IT [LILIES yes I love this!]
@-Aldebaran-: Ouch, he is so wishing his face was not That Way right now
@dot-qhost: i still think about that one (1) tweet that said the top of their hierarchy of maslows needs was a body pillow bookrik with his mask OFF
@les__gnossiennes: i love him but i do think a hit of pussy would actually kill him
@carlottadefender: @glassprism I'm curious, have you ever come across any boots or audios where the recorder is like, audibly crying, or do those tend to not be released? lol @litloverscorsetlaces:@lit-ari-ture: Carlottedefender there are bunches! @GlassPrism: @carlottadefender Oh yeah, there's video of the last show in Sao Paulo where the whole audience is crying @lit-ari-ture: In Hugh's last '05 boot, the master was absolutely crying in the background @GlassPrism: Same for the last show of LND in London
@paperfaces: she wakes up so cuuteely @funeral_lilies: she's so cozy
@beyond-this-illusion: Like the ones that you rub one way and it changes color @Aldebaran-: Illusion I am sure if one rubbed Erik one way he would change color
@Aldebaran-: I wonder if he is realizing just how ...not well...he is right here @phaptomoftheopera: oh the self loathing is palpable @CharlieRaine: HES ROTTEN @dimmedghosts: HE CRAWLS LIKE A CRAB
@-Aldebaran-: We will crawl again for Moth and Eva and...me [THANK YOU DEB!]
@dimmedghosts: HIM TALKING TO GOD FOR SALVATION?????????? @wismoth: EARL YOU CANT REACH FOR HEAVEN LIKE FHAT THE CRAWL???? @dimmedghosts: HE IS LIKE AN INJURED ANIMAL TRYING TO DEFEND HIMSELF @les__gnossiennes: man who cries over diaper commercials can have such a sensual energy sometimes @opera-ghost: (tucker carlson voice) now the phantom just scoots, they won't let him crawl anymore. and i'm supposed to be attracted to this? @dimmedghosts: HE WAS BORN 10 MINUTES AGO @warpweight: THAT SHOE EXTENDED. WHY IS THAT slut
@lonlonranching2: also im at my moms for the weekend so airplaying it on her tv and she's like why does it keep skipping back? and im like NO TIME TO EXPLAIN
@GlassPrism: He kept fleeing stage door because he was so shy @Lizzie_Boredom: Celina say it isn't so. I can't want this man more
[I didn't catch the question] @-Aldebaran-: This was before David Shannon played the Phantom
@nerdywriter36: omg wait, who got "demoted" @GlassPrism: Right now I can only think of Kalle Sepp, I think is his name? He was in the Estonian production, he was like an alternate Phantom at first and then became Raoul heh @GlassPrism: There was a Christine who got "demoted" to Meg too lol - Kaja Mianowana I think @dimmedghosts: celina has the brain power of 20000 data centers @-Aldebaran-: Celina doesn't use nearly as much water
@Aldebaran-: We need the reprise of the streams classic about the chair @Aldebaran-: Which I think was something like the spinning chair was invented by Thomas Jefferson in 1776???
@les__gnossiennes: destler does the same thing that hearing someone chew on a popsicle stick or eat vegetables loudly out of a can does to me
@dimmedghosts: HER @funeral_lilies: she looks like a 30s heroine
@les__gnossiennes: she has like such a weird quiet intensity when she locks in on this tortured borzoi @warpweight: my friends with a borzoi tried to take her on a little gentle river walk the other day and usually she gets out real quick but on that day she chose to just like, wade deeper and allow herself to slowly be pushed downstream @maroogaly: gnoss adding those exact words to my vows @les__gnossiennes: i once did borzoi rik somewhere in procreate. i just think-- @probablynotben: I once doodled Afghan Hound Raoul on a piece of notebook paper (inspired by 2004 movie Raoul's hair)
@funeral_lilies: this man is giving mr rochester
@lonlonranching: she picks raoul shes bound for the attic she picks rik shes bound to the basement

@lit-ari-ture: What if I just jumped off the roof? @Aldebaran-: We would all catch you Ari
@beyond-this-illusion: Maroo, Zac didn't even have to threaten to blow up an opera house for you to mary him. That's so progressive
Mid-stream videos! AIAOY Wedding String Quartet from Maroo, Earl Carpenter & John Owen Jones - MOTN, Phantom Flub - Earl Loses his Robe (shirtsleeves!)
@CharlieRaine: I love how madame giry does not dress up @phaptomoftheopera: commentary on the real mask being the social mask she wear everyday
@songdancepsychopaths: question, non moving people on the stairs - whats up with that? @warpweight: they saw medusa and were turned to stone. neglected subplot @CharlieRaine: are they actually mannequins…? @songdancepsychopaths: yeah they had the mannequins in the sydney production in 2008 but ive never seen it since and i wondered if that was normal for original staging
@les__gnossiennes: he is so long in this fit tf @-Aldebaran-: There's just grapes in the codpiece @lit-ari-ture: Large grapes @Aldebaran-: The original grapeman @Aldebaran-: I cannot imagine dropping through the floor of the stage in that costume @carlottadefender: -aldebaran- imagine you drop through and the codpiece gets caught on the edge of the trapdoor like that one olympic polevaulter @-Aldebaran-: His codpiece now filled with grapejuice
@lit-ari-ture: The cuckling cackler
@kyannnite: hes leaving devious tumblr anons @CharlieRaine: "do u have mask kink??-anon"

@opera-ghost: i keep getting y/k songs stuck in my head and every time i go back to listen to ALW phantom it's like that "welcome home cheater" image @MakeBelieveHusband: I have not been able to find the stage play of Susan Kay. I want to see it so bad @kyannnite: if there are no rips available on youtube I'll Make One @GlassPrism: There's links and stuff available to download it @mirrorbride: i have several y&k boots if needed @Aldebaran-: There is a Japanese (?) version of the Susan Kay play…I am not sure how available or if it is subtitled, but there are some great folks doing subtitling work and maybe that can be done

@dot-qhost: i also have a weird complex about finding books myself In Person or through a friend @dot-qhost: which is how i came across phantom of manhattan and most of my copies are gifts from friends or i found em
@lit-ari-ture: Earl is far reaching i think @lit-ari-ture: But daddy in my heart @dot-qhost: i generally prefer far reaching but on FATHERS DAY WEEKEND????
@GlassPrism: This reminds me, here's compilation of Earl's 'Seal My Fate' during his vacation cover, bc he did the whole bit live

@les__gnossiennes: im not scared of this man, he cries when u give him a greeting card with ziggy on it
@haunted-hideaway: HIs face is extra messed up. He looks like a cinnamon swirrel ice cream.
@Luukfy: the smirk, the disdain, the switcheroo between the calm and insanity.. also just how gentle he is a lot of the other time - Maroo, I can really see why you love Earl
@warpweight: it's fine i'm fine i can be interacted with in public i can leave the house normally i can be seen and no one will know on sight that i O
@GlassPrism: Part of him keeps saying "turn back this is bad" but the other part keeps going "no I've come too far"
@warpweight: i looooove when you can really feel that a phantom is doubling down on like "i've already fucked it up, why not keep fucking it" at every turn. but also at every turn he's like Damn! I should take my own life
@GlassPrism: But nope, come too far etc.
@warpweight: LOOKING AT HER LIKE "AW.. HEY... HEY WAIT A SEC.... NEVER MIND LET ME BE MEAN. WAIT I FEEL WORSE"
@kyannnite: earl has changed my brain chemistry. i think this is one of my favorite final lairs of all time now
@glassprism: He's shocked she even touched him heh
@kyannnite: hes not making it out of this one is he.
@GlassPrism: For the first and last time he lets someone touch his actual deformity; not the mask, his actual face @GlassPrism: Anyway thank you for enjoying my commentary, Earl brings it out in me lol
@warpweight: celina thank you for hitting us all with a shovel over and over again tonight. it is an honour to be rendered into ground meat by one with as much knowledge and composure as yo

I didn't catch who said Earlvulating, possibly @litloverscorsetlaces
People mentioned Katie Knight Adams a few times, I didn't catch the context, but here's her 2006 final lair with Earl, and an old post I found from @operafantomet about her
Re the last note about Katie Knight Adams: This post from Ari cemented itself in my brain a year ago and I think about it every final lair kiss. The post was about the kiss with KKA, not Rachel Barrel (my mistake, obviously I need to study Earl harder), but still good Earl kissin’!

Throwback to this charmer of an Erik… granted Earl wasn’t using/ didn’t have a prerecorded track to use at the time, so he obviously had fun with the line.
