#stream notes

(because it is the 300th Fish stream, but also like three people had their birthdays!)

Stolle art from @brendadaaedestler!

@beyond-this-illusion's missing link to complete this stream <3

Highest stream attendance number to date according to @Kashi: (and FAQ) is 92! And according to @wheel-of-fish, "it was earl when he came back for his newer run, specifically" (the 2021 west end reopening)

@beyond-this-illusion: This reminds me of the story Jordan Donica told on Ali Ewoldt's video diary about absolutely losing it at Stolle!Piangi during Notes II(?), because they put him in a scarf and his head and neck looked too skinny

@marumotto: Morgan takes off a mask and Jeremy is underneath scooby doo villain style

@cowardtranslation, the myth, the legend, came to the stream!

@kyannnite: goncharov is as real as cooper in the restaged production @Kashi: @Stephistopheles TL;DR, some bootleg shoes credited Scorsese as making a film called Goncharov. Exploded and did numbers on Tumblr making posters, movie references, and everything for it

Beautiful Elizabeth Locyano as Christine in Hannibal!

@litloverscorsetlaces: So is she going to be the Christine throughout the whole boot? Or will it switch to a different pairing when he becomes the Phantom? @GlassPrism: @lit-ari-ture There's going to be different ones

@onlyphantoms' current poto us tour etsy stickers!

beautiful Stolle audio from Fish

for the title song Christine is Mary Michael Patterson! (thank you @bway-ghost)

[@motelpearl asked what years the boots that make up this video

came from] @glassprism: Stolle as Raoul is from a video from 2008, Stolle as the Phantom could come from any number of boots from 2013-2014, and Stolle as Piangi comes from a boot from 2015

@wheel-of-fish: meg there's also a bronson boot

@phannah_montana: guys a bronson in the hand is worth two stolles in the bush

[trying to beat the previous attendance record of 92] @maroogaly: Someone tell Cara & Flora & Gnoss to log on lmao @ wheel-of-fish: they're at masquerade maroo [I think we beat it, but there were multiple Celinas as some point]

@GlassPrism: I know someone might have said this already but supposedly Stolle was directed to not move too much bc he's tall and that would scare people, so I guess he threw all of his repressed acting into his voice @Luukfy: someone instructing Stolle not to move too much bc hes intimidating bc of his height reminded me instantly of melancholy's child beneath the shadows (incidental fic rec, Beneath the shadows by wonderful @i-am-melancholys-child)

@broadwayninja (added correct tag!): Bold of him to say “cannot fight.” Bitch, as if I was going to

@jerseyfiredragon: STOP MOVING LIKE A LARGE WADING BIRD

@opera-ghost: i wouldve stayed idk rip to her but im different

@poorerik: at this point bring out the human sized doll who fucking cares

@motelpearl: GILLIAN LYNNE ITS BEEN AN HONOR

I think in MOTN barb Elizabeth Welch from the chat? not sure though

@from-aldebaran: She could bear to look if you would bare it

@wismoth: THE SOB AS HE HITS THE GROUND . EFFERVESCENT @opera-ghost: the floor is filing an HR complaint as we speak

@BrendaDaaeDestler: Imagine if Jeremy was in chat right now (he's not, he was on as Phantom tonight)

@box5intern: maroo i maintain he was the first graduate of HPRU Hugh Panaro Rik Academy @box5intern: well and someone (celina?) was saying it kinda seems like the understudies get directed to be kind of like whoever lead phantom is at the time @GlassPrism: @box5intern Yeah or rather they are told to shadow the principal at the time, so they'll often use that as their starting point @GlassPrism: I think like when Emilie Kouatchou was cast as Christine they told her to watch Meghan Picerno to see what the part entails

@from-aldebaran: From this angle we can see the size of Jeremy's part

@PhantoonsOfTheOpera: "Hav you seen the size of my Stolle?"

@wismoth: STOLLE IS A MIDWESTERNER? BLESS HIM @dimmedghosts: watching this chat as a foreigner: ah yes.... philly... indiana..... midwest...... yes Very Real Places

@Forestscribe4: Fish, now I know what to bake next, stollen, you know

@LeeringSatyrs: "What was that? It sounded just like you, Raoul!"

Intermission greatest hits: KEEP DANCING, shreksophone

@wheel-of-fish: inshallah jeremy is at masquerade

@dot-qhost: rip in piss phillip we tried to find you but the siren got you

@from-aldebaran: Almostemily, it's all the Stolles running at different speeds

@opera-ghost: jeremy stolle as the florida man @psyduckoftheopera: wait is there really a florida phantom fic @songdancepsychopaths: i think that makes LND more believable @wheel-of-fish: tampa au sounds cursed @justsilence: really need phlorida au please

@psyduckoftheopera: i'm actually obsessed with AU fics that are so absurd that by description they hardly make sense (but the fic itself is actually good somehow despite that)

@StollenLogin771: A Stolle of nature… @dot-qhost: MORE STOLLE THAN MAN @-Aldebaran-: Codpiece proves he is a prodigy @brideofmirrors: our don juan must....stay exactly the same because he is also me

@jennyfair7: ACT! @Luukfy: your obedient friend @dot-qhost: *clever* fri3end @Hyperesthesias: enSNARE!

@docty: is it an edit that turns the trio into duo??? :-D

@poorerik: whenever carltota delivers the 'she's mad' as though coming to the realization and really sells it and the audience still laughs i'm like ...... you guys don't get it ............. @Luukfy: didn't somone say Midori play her carlotta a little like that? maybe im mixing up the posts @stollottadefender: luukfy yes! Midori has a change of heart during notes 2 and they're pretty allied after that @stollottadefender: luukfy Christine even sits beside Carlotta/Piangi in the sitzprobe instead of meg, or she did in nola at least [@carlottadefender I assume?]

beautiful powerful Elyzabeth Loycano at Wishing!

FATHERING

@CowardTranslation: i was 19 when i made this lol @paper-faces: @cowardtranslation 19 yo you was a genius, a muscian, a prodigy

@lizzie-boredom: We are super unsecured

[POST STREAM VIDEO ANNOUNCEMENT]

@litloverscorsetlaces: Wow the use of this font so many times is historic @litloverscorsetlaces: It was like a revelation. We received our joyous god!

In PONR everyone is lusting over hands and voice

@Stephistopheles: What a reveal, instead of Stolle it's actually Stolle

[Fishe's first stream] wheel-of-fish: it was actually phantom of the paradise! and my first boot was saulo

@Luukfy: oh look, he's alive! @paper_faces: there he is! @Hyperesthesias: Resurrection

@CowardTranslation: stolle was guiding my hand like that one pic of jesus guiding a doctor

@kyannnite: hes only 25 apple tall @-Aldebaran-: He's a big guy, they used extra water

@stollottadefender: grow stolled and turn to tears of hate @paper_faces: i choose stolle

@Forestscribe4: Fish the you try my patience and animated phantom compilations are my favorites of yours @wheel-of-fish: forest the patience one is possibly my favorite also

@stephistopheles: He's like a fucking snake getting ready to strike

@-Aldebaran-: The trick is to keep Fish rewinding until it is next Saturday

@dimmedghosts: GET KISSED AGAIN IDIOT @hobbitmajora: LIVE RAOUL REACTION @LeeringSatyrs: "Raoul is dying behind you" "This ain't about him"

@Lizzie_Boredom: Man. I really thought she was gonna pick Stolle this time

[ring return] @funeral-lilies: us saying bye to fish

@StollenLogin771: Stolle coughing

@ravens-repine: fuck my baka phantom life

@TheEggSaysSTOLLED: have fun in `retirement` Fish @dot-qhost: fishtirement

I haven't recorded the stream of heartfelt messages afterwards, there truly was a long period of outpour of love and apperciation from a thousand jeremys adoring fans, followers, minions... Friends, I suppose ;) But also morgan has a screen recording for a part of it that happened during the Fish Surprise! Fish, so much has been said already, and still it's difficult to fully express how much your streams but also the community built around them means to so so many people. Just... Thank you for everything.

World Tour (2024): Harry Mills, Grace Roberts, Matt Leisy

This post is inspired by and written for @greenstripedcat who usually does the stream notes but couldn't make it tonight.

Cleo talks to the sculk now. This is concerning to chat, but not to Cleo.

The sculk told Cleo it hates all of chat specifically ;_;

It doesn´t know the warden though. Or someone named Harold. It does know a Harry.

Cleo keeps saying the sculk is only dangerous if you think it is. Hmm. Also referred to the second stage of their plan - what plan, there is no plan.

Cleo is convinced that the Life series is not going to have any sculk problems as long as Cub isn't there - immediately afterwards makes plans for shenanigans with sculk catalysts.

Cleo about Life series problems: what can we do to these guys that's worse than what they're doing to themselves? "Everyone was incredibly weird. And I mean weird even for this group."

Spoiler, Cleo did go into the hot tub.

Last episode Scott confidently said that Cleo wouldn't push him down a hole, and that felt like a challenge to Cleo. "Scott trusts me far too much." It would be very funny to dissuade him from that.

Minecraft history: Cleo says the voice mod was made because Hermitcraft asked for it, cool. They talked about it and then X pitched it to a dev he knew.

Hermitcraft has been pretty influential in the community since the end of Mindrack. And that includes some of the devs.

Background to the charity stream location: Microsoft contacted Gamer´s Outreach and not the hermits themselves, which made it feel more legit.

Cleo trusts the hermits, and they knew about them being NB years before anyone else did

Cleo inspirational moment time. "Be your own dark master!" Followed by more inspirational speeches but now in Cleowo voice.

"I do not recommend arson, I enjoy it."

Ren came by earlier to get Cleo´s help to build the Gigacorp robot workers in his art gallery. He drops by again to say he finished and Ren, Cub, and Cleo visit each other´s art galleries.

The three of them visit Joel who´s been working on a boat boys armor stand: him and Etho in a boat, a wave behind them, with Joel holding Etho Titanic-style. Joel insists that of course he would be Jack.

Cleo is always happy to see others get better at armor stands, and Joel is very good. Cleo doesn´t mind being asked to do armor stand work, but does get annoyed when people say/think it wouldn´t take them very long. Cleo is just very patient but it does often take a long time.

Stream notes dedicated to @greenstripedcat

You know it's gonna be good when @wheel-of-fish starts us off with this:

A wonderful notes header from Morgan! Thank you so much @opera-ghost, the pic is Thomas Ambd Kofod from @operafantomet, and please if anyone is covering for the note taking, feel free to use it; talking about that, I am away for the next 3 weeks and won't be able to join the streams, but I will see you all again in the middle of July!

@warpweight: MAROO IT'S SUCH A PRIVILEGE TO PARTICIPATE IN UR MARRIAGE-HONORING STREAM

@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

@paper-faces: okay can we bee serious for a second. its really hard for me to not say this every stream. i love me a gorgeous thicc carlotta. i love boobs. i love hips. i love her beauty and voice and weell yeah our thicc carlottas are my dream girlfriend if i was in the market for a girlfriend ty for coming to my teed talk @-Aldebaran-: Rachel I do believe that was not a Ted talk but a tit talk @GlassPrism: @beyond-this-illusion Tbh I think a lot of casts got the 25th anniversary DVD to review. The entire Moscow cast did. Before, I'm sure the Broadway cast were allowed to view the OBC video in the NY archives

@-Aldebaran-: THe guys in the elephant are enjoying Carlotta's....Ted talk

@dot-qhost: THE WAY HE GRABS HER TO SAFETYYYY @warpweight: meg fucking grabbing andre and screaming HE IS HERE into his eardrum rupturing it instantly

@carlottadefender: this mme giry is giving other mother from coraline and I mean that in a complimentary way I <3 scary women

@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: any 80's kids remember this gal and got jump scared by this Giry? Anyone??

@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

@paperfaces: barely related but i call him whiplash phantom bc hhe goes from confidnt (enough) to scared the fuck out so fast and so often its horrible

@warpweight: his portcullis pose is so like "i just hang out here, the drama is just carrying me here, i have to express myself by flinging myself on this set piece" versus. Some Phantoms

@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: So sad. So wet. @lonlonranching2: hes so feral dog @songdancepsychopaths: the saddest wettest cat @kyannnite: he is so sopping. hes developing hypothermia

@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"

@haunted-hideaway: One of my cats is suddenly phantom-curious and is investigating the tv set lol @opera-ghost: i too am phantom-curious

@les__gnossiennes: those who gangle with long dong

y/k phantom added to the request list!

@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

@britishchick09 has linked a susan kay phantom compilation x

@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

@opera-ghost: dong juan. assarino. rik i know what you are. @litloverscorsetlaces: He is just so much hand

@les__gnossiennes: am i allowed to say they are fly agaric to me is that huffing my own farts oh well

@warpweight: i LOVE whenever she's like "i only know one bitch whose hand would tremble so violently when hovering over one human Breast"

@brideofmirrors: christine its the magnet in my hand attratched to the one i had sewn into your bodice

@lonlonranching2: sometimes christine realizes early on comestimes christine realizes too late this christine knows a virgin incel redditor at semi popped on bra cup contact

@les__gnossiennes: not the jizz hands muh god

@Aldebaran-: Oh man he almost died right three

@dot-qhost: THE WAUY SHE PLONKS IT ON???? @kyannnite: THE WAY SHE PUTS IT ON @GlassPrism: Yeah that was 2000s blocking, where Christine would accept and put on the ring

@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

[Ear droppped to his knees and clutched the hem of her dress during ring return] @GlassPrism: I heard Hal Prince told him not to do this lol

@GlassPrism: He doesn't even get a last look at her face

@lonlonranching2: girls when everythings gonna be ok

@wheel-of-fish: I'm going but MAROO AN EARLY CONGRATULATIONS HAVE SO MUCH FUUUN [seconded by all the stream! Have the most wonerful day and celebration Maroo!]

@opera-ghost: deb you are fabulous.... debulous...... @dimmedghosts: #1 deb fan "lit-ari-ture: Debastated again @dimmedghosts: debtastic

I didn't catch who said Earlvulating, possibly @litloverscorsetlaces

pre-stream drinks: blueberry rooibos tea from @meilas

@litloverscorsetlaces: SWM, in case you're on here: this final lair is elite and I wouldn't be made if you borrowed a few choicessssss

Gnoss is back! @les-gnossiennes-fantomatiques: for the only boat that matters, the fuck boat!!!

@a-maze-of-mirrors: hello! I'm a short time lurker (seen just three streams) but now I've thought of a phantom related user name I decided to log in! @lit-ari-ture: Hi Maze!!! You wouldn't happen to be Samuel Wyn Morris in disguise would you @almostemilyy: maze, just to double check, you're not samuel wyn morris, correct? @a-maze-of-mirrors: haha, no, I'm not @spookytimediaries: that's exactly what swm would say... @lizzie-boredom: It's like The Thing. The monster (fridge man) could be any one of us @spookytimediaries: <.< keep your eyes peeled for tall welshmen @lit-ari-ture: I am the watchman on the wall looking out for fridge shaped welshmen

[if any phantoms in disguise are reading this, this is all said in the most affectionate and adoring manner]

[people yearning for NO BUTTS] @dimmedghosts: no butts tonite queen?

@almostemily: we die and go to hell and it's just SWM sitting in a chair, a powerpoint, and we have to read them out loud to him

fancy credits in the beginning of a boot, a really distinguished recording

Rebecca Lock being an excellent diva, @marumotto: Giving 1990s Carlotta

@onlyphantoms dot-qhost: this is an OSHA violation!!! @opera-ghost: i'm on her side

@warpweight: spinning around ilke she is in a horror movie and knows the monster is behind her

The whole chat absolutely in love with Gina Beck, @musical-ingenue-wannabe: i love how shes visibly emotional and nervous

@glassprism: Yeah back when the wigs let Christines have curls lol

@poorerik: this is a christine where it's like. oh you're really evil for lying to her

@bway-ghost: my dear squeak he asked me squeak to give you this squeaks away @zhen-yus (sorry zhen I'll take time to remember to change your nickname as well to actually tag it!): The squeak is why they call them ballet rats hahaha

@lit-ari-ture: Lizzie, David Shannon is like farming in Tennessee now

@GlassPrism: @ lit-ari-ture Ehhhh I'd argue not even then tbh, he's just a little looser than earlier bc he's allowed to be, bc it's Final Lair. Supposedly the only time he REALLY let loose was his final show, bc what're they going to do, fire him? @lit-ari-ture: What kind of director tells someone to act MOTN like an actual music lesson? almostemily: gillian out here saying "you've got a boner" and someone is telling them to act it like a music lesson???

@warpweight: her SMILING @warpweight: Girl what kind of music lesson is this

@dot-qhost: i like my men built like fridges and i like my men masked

@haunted-hideaway: She is so very hot for his voice and if he'd not have showed her his creepy doll, he would most certainly have gotten laid.

@daaesviolin: i just don't understad why you'd direct your phantom to be so subdued??

@wismoth: hes so pretty RN I can't explain how he just seems pretty rn

@warpweight: HER BIG SMILE AT CARESS

@GlassPrism: @almostemily Yeah and I think that's where you see him being held back by the direction bc he could lean more into some of this stuff but he does not

@wismoth: this is all just sex without actually doing it to them

Catch and carry! 'Fuck OSHA' as someone's said, I didn't catch the nickname

@warpweight: trying to fuck a guy but he keeps being like Shh wait if you listen to this part of My Girls.... listen.... he just wants four walls and adobe slats. If you think about it... it's for his girls

@dimmedghosts: I LOVE WOMB GRABBING @Stephistopheles: She's literally conceiving@dimmedghosts: SHE IS MOTHER

@lit-ari-ture: There are existential phantom questions we ask ourselves. Like "what if Shannon had been allowed to let loose?" And "what if Josh Piterman's boot wasn't obstructed?"

@haunted-hideaway: He just fumbles it so hard. Look at how ready she is.

@Stephistopheles: Never have I seen a Christine so innocent but also DTF @brideofmirrors: no one has ever fucked up this badly

@MakeBelieveHusband: Something something about a jar

@dot-qhost: CRAWL! @Lizzie_Boredom: No longer non-threatening @opera-ghost: is this when they were scooting instead of crawling

@almostemily: crawling like a dog with three legs

@from-aldebaran: I am refining my previous joke attempt--the dating app for sewer dwelling Phantoms is of course "Un-Hinged" [stream of DEBs] @from-aldebaran: That's more like it

@warpweight: desperately being like "christine does this make you love me? is this good? i can do it frontways too do you like that? i learned how to do this from a wikihow article with my spare time"

@PaperFaces-fakeaf: can we please talk about how his phantom was so scared to show her his face that he caught sight of himself in the mirror and insteaed of showing her his face to see if its okay now, he just turns and cries. fuck.

@64feet: i dont think a boot has ever given me erik/carlotta feelings before but they match each others freak -Aldebaran-: The thought of performing is sending Carlotta to Gina Beck levels of pleasure

@maroogaly: I love how the filmer was like "I know the most important part of this scene and her name is Carlotta" @PaperFaces-fakeaf: AND THE FILMER WAS RIGHT

@ravens-repine: This Raoul has a haircut that would tell me I'm just suffering from Female Hysteria

break had excellent edits, including @box5intern's Gerik/Taylor Swift edit, Heaven on Their Minds by Ryan Vona, and the masquarade by Morgan @opera-ghost - this one was particularly devastating

@from-aldebaran: POTO is all about the Phantom studying a broad @ravens-repine: I need to do a drinking game: Every time i feel the need to say Deb @jerseyfiredragon: Raven you'd die @wheel-of-fish: deb becomes a murderer @daaesviolin: just like meg @-Aldebaran-: Becomes....

[half-obscured view] @faceofbeast: The Peek-a-boo Boot @stephistopheles: Peek a boot @wismoth: pov you are the mold in the walls @motelpearl: erik pov

@glassprism has said Carlotta is proobably played by Anne Runolfson, and Mme Giri by Marilyn Caskey, who was principal at the time

[on boquet] @warpweight: he's like boss that one's not on me i WASSS on the toilet scrolling my apps @warpweight: boss i was on grindr in the customer bathroom using the nice toilet paper. this one is not on me

[a long confusion on Meg's wig colour] @Ravens_Reproach: Cherik ass hair @warpweight: megs only change their hair to red when extremely distressed. this is NOT cute @GlassPrism: BLONDE @GlassPrism: She is BLONDE here [Celina is getting done with us. we appreciate your patience immensely]

@britishchick09: for the person who asked when rebecca was in the show- she was the alternate from july 2005 to april 06 and the principal from april to december! she was also in the 1999-2004 us tour and the 2007 world tour (singapore stop) ;)

@marumotto: god i missed that eyebrow arch @dimmedghosts: wish he would lean on some other organ- who said that @GlassPrism: I imagine Buntrock took a lot of influence from Panaro, since he was the principal

@litloverscorsetlaces: I love this era when Phantoms were showing white sleeve @dimmedghosts: ari when the coat was still tailored THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO @litloverscorsetlaces: Dimmed we used to be a proper country

@funeral_lilies: He's really giving kay erik to me @kyannnite: wail and wriggle for me sewer boy @daaesviolin: he's definitely from the crawford school of phantom and i'm here for it @lit-ari-ture: This reminds me of that one John Cudia STYDI that should be illegal

@poorerik: where did people cough before phantom opened on broadway

@probablynotben: From the audio I've heard, Jeff Keller was an excellent Phantom understudy

@funeral-lilies: honestly this boot quality is making these sets look like paintings

@paper-faces: i hate to say it but i like this raoul

@brideofmirrors: when did they stop doing the phantom being up top thing @beyond-this-illusion: @mirrorbride for London it was after Covid. They kept it for Broadway until closing, I believe

@backlitmademoiselle: oh they're doing so many little fun idiosyncratic touches in this one

@kyannnite: putting up the shadow bunny rabbit and velociraptor in an attempt to make christine chuckle

@carlottadefender: who among us would not happily be pavloved by girys cane

@kyannnite: one of my favorite genre of posts i see all the time on mycology subreddits are random mushrooms popping up out of people's bathroom walls. and i think about how often that would happen to rik @warpweight: I LOVE WHEN PEOPLE POST A PIC OF LIKE CHICKEN OF THE DAMN WOODS GROWING OUT OF THEIR CEILING LIKE "Is this good" @kyannnite: r/MoldlyInteresting for anyone who wants to visit my preferred mold subreddit @from-aldebaran: Erik is actually jealous of creatures that can have white nose syndrome

@paper_faces: okay he can play rik @Ravens_Reproach: Rachel, tell that to the hidden sopping cat out there

@Luukfy: oh boy, the swicth up from the most pathetic whimpering to this rage @paper_faces: @luukfy couldnt agree more!!!! and it showed during his MOTN too like WHAT

@daaesviolin: red ass stalking abroad @wismoth: red codpiece stalking a broad

@maroogaly: the way he's hunching is doing something to me

@motelpearl: is that a mushroom in your pants.... @box5roach: i think he's just happy to see you

@warpweight: his little shoes here are sooo diva @or-what-you-will: they're high heels too like 2 inches at least @warpweight: WELL HE WOULD NOT BE CAUGHT DEAD IN A KITTEN HEEL

@warpweight: this madame giry sounds SO tortured about being FORCED to share a juicy tale

@funeral-lilies: almost kills her with a chandelier and talks about her being too prideful to come back to her teacher

@from-aldebaran: Steph outbreak

@dimmedghosts: ok how do they actually do that tho @dimmedghosts: im tired of pretending i know @paper_faces: you can get self playing pianos @-Aldebaran-: Erik is above stage and throws the marbles from his codpiece with unerring accuracy at the piano keys

[discussion of hellboots] GlassPrism: Hellboot aka the Antwerp bootleg, looks like it's been filmed in a volcano

it's duet, and it's far-reaching!

@GlassPrism: Trio was definitely not happening on Broadway until 2014 @GlassPrism: @paper_faces Yes, they only started doing the trio on Broadway when Norm came, and a couple years later it got changed to being the standard internationally @GlassPrism: Meanwhile "fathering" seems to have become more and more the standard after the 2004 movie, but that was a more gradual thing IIRC @GlassPrism: So if you know your dates you can basically figure out what you'll hear each time

@dimmedghosts: so excited to watch mr pangea guys omg @Luukfy: bought my ticket specifically to see mr piangi perfrom! very excited @Luukfy: dimmedghosts enjoying the show, he sounds a little different tho @dimmedghosts: mr piangi works so hard luukfy @-Aldebaran-: Mr Piangi just has a little something around his throat....I mean in his throat

@Firedragon20: god she really is breasted boobily

@-Aldebaran-: Erik almost became a prop for Hannibal

@wismoth: hes the substitute teacher at the hughrik Panaro academy

@GlamDonut: We’re making choices tonight friends

@Firedragon20: this erik is so blue heron core [this one dragon?]

@paper_faces: YET AGAIN WITH THE SWITCH UP he cant choose its too much hes overwhelmed sad cat time and you know what I CANT STNAD IT im so unwell

@warpweight: i love that he's tiptoeing around like a fleischer cartoon lol

@Luukfy: i love how he plays it as a though that comes to him this very moment, like he doesn't have aplan, he's just improvising on the spot

@paper_faces: OKAY BUT WAS HE HOLDING HIS EARS OR HIDING HIS FACE

@Gummie: fuckass damp wet cat that he is @Luukfy: he sounds so broken. love this @maroogaly: love when they age 40 years in the final lair

@carlottadefender: he doesnt even know how to touch her gently. I need a cigarette

@warpweight: love when he does something really bad and then afterwards is like Man i didnt even wanna be doing that. Man i dont even remember that

@paper_faces: thats a rik thats /never been touched @paper_faces: paper_faces: sexually or otherwise @funeral_lilies: he just melted

@kyannnite: i think my favorite thing about this whole lair is that he really makes it feel like hes coming up with the raoul and making christine choose stuff completely on the fly

@kyannnite: hes not making it out of the opera house in this one

@GlassPrism: Have to admit her closing his open hand is kind of a brutal "no" lol

@paper_faces: i love how everyones typing abilities gets worse during ponr and then in final lair it gets illegible or is that just me
