Marina and the Diamonds attends the E. Tautz show, January 8, 2014
You know what gets me? That smile when Bucky says “Steve”. It’s almost like he thinks he’s dying, or already dead, and this is the last thing he sees: His friend, healthy and strong. He’s happy, but it doesn’t look like he believes Steve is real at first.
Okay, I’ve been meaning to make a Phantom of the Opera blog follow forever for a while now, so I guess this will be it! :)
Here is a list of Phantom blogs that I highly recommend, organized by category. All blog names are listed in alphabetical order.
I have listed blog names only once, though some blogs belong in more than one category, which I have indicated in parentheses.
If I follow you and your name doesn’t appear here, it probably just means that I haven’t seen you on my dash when I’ve checked recently, because I have a terrrrrible time remembering names.

Okay, there are lots of other awesome blogs out there, and lots of other categories, but this gives you a good place to start!
- Cities shutting down the subway and refusing to lower bridges when potholes get too bad and nothing is done about them because hey that hurts and someone needs to fix it.
- Cities opening old abandoned subway stations and venting hot air above ground during the winter for the homeless population.
- Sidewalk blocks standing up to protect protesters from the police.
- Everyone feels safe running in the park at night because everyone knows one story about a guy who tried to mug/rape/attack someone and was dragged off by tree roots
- Subway stairs rolling themselves up and refusing to let anyone into the tunnels so that management is forced to listen striking train drivers.
- One weekend every summer the entire city is covered in chalk drawings the residents create as a thank you to the city that protects and cares for them so well. For weeks afterwards the sidewalks are covered in faint chalk marks until the next rain washes it all away.
- Each spring the city does it’s own spring cleaning, rain storms and strong winds sweeping the garbage out of alley ways and into piles for the garbage workers to come and collect.
- CITIES THAT ARE SELF AWARE FRIENDS
reverse hades/persephone, where the young daughter of summer uses plant magic to ensnare the lord of darkness and keep him prisoner in a beautiful garden above ground. Eventually, enchanted by her cleverness and wild youth he agrees to eat six pomegranate seeds and stay with her for half of every year.

so i’m trying to put it right / cause i want to love you with my heart / all this trying has made me tight / and i don’t know even where to start (x)

reading askance and hannah’s all things shining and the characterization of dean and cas’s romance is absolutely beautiful (as is everything else, especially sam omg). and then i heard this song and it seemed very fitting.
