Just some Hamilton Trash

the phantom of the opera 40th anniversary announcement 🌹

this cast announcement has me screaming omg

bc that would be very interesting to explore. just sayin’. what if you were at the barricade and didn’t believe in the cause you knew was doomed and you were only there for your daughter’s lover, but you saw out of the corner of your eye and you thought Cosette?

but it’s not her, it’s the boy leader of this doomed rebellion. he’s certainly going to die. you have your hands full with your daughter’s lover. you cannot save him…

Right before the movie came out all of the edits were the character posters. ALL OF THEM

The “Great” Ship War between the Enjolras/Grantaire fans and the Enjolras/Eponine fans was the wildest thing to ever happen. 

Also Eponine/Combeferre was a pretty common ship

There was some really weird stuff with Azelma/Grantaire in the Eponine/Enjolras fics or sometimes Azelma/Feuilly. It was weird

A LOT of fics made Cosette seem like a raging bitch to Eponine

Also a lot of making Marius seem like a complete idiot who didn’t realize how terrible Cosette was and who led Eponine on

Before Courfeyrac/Combeferre there was a lot of Courfeyrac/Jehan which still holds a special place in my heart

Montparnasse was almost always Eponine’s abusive ex-boyfriend

More High School AUs than College AUs

Even though it isn’t explicitly stated, almost all the AUs take place in the US. American High School system/culture

A lot of AUs where Valjean and Fantine raised Cosette together

Grantaire being a full-blown alcoholic

Enjolras completely and utterly hating Grantaire

High School detention AUs

100 million reincarnation AUs

A very large emphasis on Enjolras being in love with “Patria”

That “I am argon, I am a gas, has Marius passed chem at last?” post

Marius being Moon Moon

What if there was a ghost in the opera house that was killing people?

Requires you to accept the existence of ghosts, but otherwise is a straightforward story.

What if the chief contractor who built the opera house was a deformed circus freak who used his experience building palaces and torture chambers for sultans to keep building secret passageways and torture chambers in the basement when construction halted during the Franco-Prussian War, and then kept living down there working on an opera and killing and blackmailing people who crossed him and also training a pretty opera singer that he wants to marry?

My father sent me a guardian angel from Heaven to guide and comfort me in his absence: "Okay, not something that happens every day, but that is what guardian angels are supposed to do and Dad did indicate something like this would happen."
