it really annoyed me that i couldn't find a hardcover copy of the david coward translation so i did what any sane and normal person would do and decided to rebind it myself

#it physically pained me to tear the cover off #also it's my first time bookbinding so the final product is not perfect lol #if you peak at the inside cover on the second to last pic you can see little scorpions on the left (and grasshoppers on the right)#wish i took more process pics - but i cut the cover from mounting board and used linen paper to wrap it #i'm also printing a dust jacket and thinking about printing the title on the spine somehow #i'm quite possibly the most pretentious person when it comes to the aesthetics of books #personal

Welcome to the 64th installment of 15 Weeks of Phantom, where I post all 68 sections of Le Fantôme de l’Opéra, as they were first printed in Le Gaulois newspaper 113 yeas ago.

In today’s installment, we have Part III of Chapter 27, “Faut-il tourner le scorpion ? Faut-il tourner la sauterelle ?” (Shall You Turn the Scorpion? Or Shall You Turn the Grasshopper?).

This section was first printed on Monday, 3 January, 1910.

For anyone following along in David Coward’s translation, the text starts in Chapter 27, “I had been struck by the thought, for I knew Erik all too well, that he might have tricked her once more.,” and goes to the Persian’s line, “And before losing consciousness, I seemed still to hear a voice calling above the swish and boil of water: any old barrels!... barrels!... any old barrels for sale?”

TRANSLATOR’S NOTE I: The text highlighted in blue in the 1st panel indicates the only instances in the novel where Christine switches from using 2nd person plural (formal “you”) to using 2nd person singular (informal "you") to address Erik. Christine is at her breaking point with Erik here, and this switch is intended to be condescending.

This text translates as:

“Erik,” cried Christine, who must have rushed towards the monster’s hand, “swear to me, monster, swear to me on your infernal love, that it is the scorpion that I must turn…”

“Yes, to go off to our wedding…”

“Ah, you see! We are going to go off!”

TRANSLATOR’S NOTE II: In designating the grasshopper (sauterelle) as the switch that will ignite the gunpowder, Erik is making a pun on the French word "sauter," which means both "to jump" and "to explode." It can also mean “to go off,” which is how I translated it above when Erik says, “go off to our wedding,” and Christine thinks he is making a horrible pun on “go off/explode” to trick her into turning the switch that will ignite the gunpowder.

But there is another, more derogatory meaning to “sauterelle,” as well. “Sauterelle” is French slang for a prostitute, as well as French slang for a picky woman who examines items in a shop without buying anything. (See the dictionary entry below.) So in addition to telling Christine that she will blow everyone up if she turns the grasshopper, he is also telling her that if she doesn’t agree to marry him, she is a picky whore. Yes, Erik is an asshole.

Christine is right — Erik has shown himself to be a monster. Not because of his face, and she doesn’t mean it that way, but because of his terrible actions. And his redemption at the end is a redemption of his character, of his soul. Le Fantôme de l’Opéra is Leroux's retelling of the Beauty and the Beast myth. Erik's transformation is that he lives out his remaining days as a man, and he dies and is buried a man. His appearance does not change, but his heart does. His life has been anything but fair (for instance, in Leroux’s novel, he helped design and build the Opera house, yet he receives little “official” pay and no recognition for his work), but he learns that this doesn’t give him the right to impose his will on others in a way that harms or kills them.

The tragedy of Erik’s story is that, in an ideal world, he would have been able to use those revelations in his life for many years to come — as Leroux writes, “Il avait un coeur à contenir l’empire du monde” (”He had a heart that was great enough to have ruled the world”). But Leroux reminds us that Erik does not live in an ideal world, and neither do we. However, just because Erik doesn’t get a traditional “happily ever after,” that does not negate the importance and power of his transformation, and that’s a lesson that we can all take to heart. We might not get a “happily ever after,” but we can still make a great difference to the people in our lives.

There are some differences between the standard 1st Edition text and the Gaulois text. In this section, these include:

1) Chapter XXVII was printed as Chapter XXVIII. This numbering error was made in Chapter VII, and was not corrected, so it was propagated throughout the Gaulois publication.

2) Each chapter in the Gaulois publication is one number ahead of the chapters in the 1st Edition, due to the inclusion of “The Magic Envelope” in the Gaulois.

3) Minor differences in punctuation.

NOTE: Leroux and the editors at Pierre Lafitte & Co. must have been satisfied with this section, because there are no other textual changes that appear in the 1st Edition.

Click on the arrow buttons at the bottom of the screen to turn the pages of the newspaper, and click on the Zoom button at the bottom left to magnify the text.

I don't talk about ocs often but my dungeon meshi oc is obsessed with bugs just regular bugs (as I am irl) and idc if it's not canon but 100% regular non-magical bugs would also be chilling in dungeons like no possible way otherwise bugs are just too hardy so my character would go through dungeons to make money but would also love seeing the ecosystems these insects are taking in dungeons and she'd always be excited to see new bugs and she'd know everything about monster bugs as well but her deep love of bugs also means she loves to eat them because bugs in their own world are always eating each other it's a bug eat bug world out there so loving them as much as she does she can't help but eat them cause it makes her feel closer to them and love them more and idk what she does with the main cast but just know she's in there... looking for bugs

#dungeon meshi #btw the loving bugs so much sje needs to eat them is 100% my real actual thoughts #i am not joking #like it makes sense in my head but basically i NEVER needlessly kill bugs #like ill take stinkbugs outaide instead of killing them house spiders stay ive saved wasps from water buckets #but also bugs eat each other all the time its in tbeir nature so to properly love them i need to also eat them #whats more buglike than eating bugs? thats basically how i feel irl #i havent had the cuance to eat many bjt i want more #like maggots okay. crickets are okay. grasshoppers are actually pretty good tbh #i want to try scorpion next #you just have to get over the initial ick factor of bugs to eat tbem but its really not too bad

Legend King-Ohger

Just wanted to say, along with this, I got a copy of the Don Onitaijin mask. Even though I wasn’t particularly interested in it, I had initially qualified for the promotion, and the store I bought these from, Tokullectibles, made sure to send me an extra when they found they had spares in stock. It’s just a nice bit of appreciated customer service is all.

The Good: Each of these is a neat individual toy on their own. Kabuto has posable wings and legs that can support his weight, Scorpion has semi-posable arms, a posable tail, and ball joints in each of its chromes extremities, and Batta is a bit of a brick, but all three also have a spring gimmick. Batta can jump a bit, Scorpion has a trigger for its tail, and Kabuto’s horn moves. I also love their colors, but black/gold/pop is kinda my aesthetic.

As for the combinations, each one never feels like it’s too much of a burden for King-Ohger, despite their size. And while they’re all a bit big, with King-Ohger’s level of posability it can get into a fair deal of good poses with each of them. It’s also quite impressive with all three attached.

The Bad: The main issue is just how unwieldy they all are, especially when everything is combined. King-Ohger already has a bunch of parts sticking off it, and Kabuto and Batta both add a bunch more. As these things are also big, even if not as heavy as you’d expect, it does affect King-Ohger’s balance. It may take a minute of two to get it standing.

Overall, I think they’re neat. Love the colors, Kabuto is an awesome bug, Scorpion is an awesome weapon, and Batta makes them look great as a cohesive package. (Also, it may be confirmed that Magazord 3′s combo requires all the ShuGods for it’s final form, so told you so.)

I've never seen a genuine criticism of the 2004 phantom of the opera movie that actually makes sense

#'it's too big and grand' I see you hate camp and having fun #'the deformed part of Erik's face isn't good' every take I've seen about this has been so ableist it cancels out the genuinely bad cg sorry #'x doesn't make sense' see point no. 1 #like. what's a genuine real criticism of it Fuckin try me there isn't one #MY only criticism has more to do with ALW's adaptation than the movie itself (like leaving out the daroga in favor of a toy monkey or the #torture chamber or the grasshopper/scorpion I Will Blow Everyone Up coercion)#bonus: when madame giry says 'we take particular pride in our dancers' my wife and I always hear it as 'testicular pride' which is 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌

If there's one allusion any piece of media can fuck me with every time it's a reference to the scorpion and the frog (or turtle)

#or grasshopper ig where did Erik even get that #Cause the Persian version is the scorpion and the turtle
