you ever think about how funny Devil Went Down to Georgia really is? conceptually? people are being so good I guess that the devil himself is strapped for souls and decides to scrape the bottom of that holy barrel. throws a dart at a map and is like “Georgia it is I suppose” cause I know he didn’t pick that on purpose. goes down to Georgia as it were and just picks the first kid he sees. how old is Johnny? I like to think 11 or so. doesn’t matter. the only way the devil knows how to run shit is with battle of the bands style rules. picks the fiddle because that’s just what he happens to have on hand in solid gold I guess. he just so happens to pick a child fiddle prodigy. what did you expect? its Georgia bitch Johnny doesn’t have anything better to do. so the devil gets his big red ass spanked. and then a child calls him a son of a bitch

i accidentally stayed up all night engrossed in the original book of “Phantom of The Opera”, which was fascinating just from comparing it to the musical versions

but also in the way that i always forget how old timey books was so unashamed in males actually showing emotions!!!!

for example, Raoul cries. A lot. He is very sensitive young boy who is, in his own words, ‘new to love’, and he must be protected

also, it turns out Raoul had an older brother (!) And their relationship is just. adorable. at one point the whole Christine-affair has Raoul so distraught he returns home and crying falls into his twenty year older brothers arms which is just aw

aLSO there’s the character of ‘The Persian’, don’t even get me started, who has a very complicated relationship with Erik (oh yeah; that’s the Phantom. He’s hardly referred to anything other than Erik and he likes to speak in third person; it’s precious. ‘dON’T INSIGHT THE WRATH OF ERIK’ hahha sure erik)

anywho the persian, he has this cute companionship with Raoul AND I JUST NEED TO MENTION

There’s this one part when they’re gonna sneak into Erik’s lair (a house by an underground lake btw), and they’re gonna drop into a room from a hatch in the ceiling.

I present to you; the words of Raoul the man himself.

“I (the Persian) am going to hang by my hands from the edge of the stone and let myself drop INTO HIS HOUSE. You must do exactly the same. Do not be afraid. I will catch you in my arms.“ 

Raoul soon heard a dull sound, evidently produced by the fall of the Persian, and then dropped down. 

He felt himself clasped in the Persian’s arms. 

“Hush!” said the Persian.

And they stood motionless, listening.“

THERE IS NEVER A MENTION OF THE PERSIAN EVER LETTING RAOUL DOWN.

… then there’s some shit about them being in a torture chamber but that’s not relevant 

this was the best thing i’ve ever done

and to leave you with something even better;

The Phantom of the Opera, The Opera Ghost himself, consistently calls the Persian;

‘You great booby’.

That is all

on the first day of class my astronomy professor asked us why the night sky was dark. if our universe is infinite, how can there be spaces between the stars? he didn’t answer the question until the last day– because our universe is relatively young, and is still growing. it is finite. not enough stars or galaxies have been formed to fill up the entire night sky.

but what that means to me is that somewhere, in an older universe, the night sky looks like a tapestry of diamonds. somewhere darkness is pale white and glittering. imagine being so surrounded. i haven’t gotten that image out of my head ever since– you could never navigate under such a sky but god it sounds lovely
