#erik the phantom

[phantom-margaritas]

While Erik loathes leaving his station— the bar is his pride and joy, after all— he occasionally makes an exception, stepping away for a quick ten-minute pool game with customers at Rosy Hours. However, he sometimes gets a little too caught up in the game…

Bartender AU lore accurate version and bonuses under the cut:

[arcantuss]

Stranger than you dreamt it

Can you even dare to look

Or bear to think of me?

This loathsome gargoyle

Who burns in hell

But secretly

Yearns for heaven

my version of book Erik

without the mask

He's a depressed mess here 😊

At first I wanted him to look as close to the book as possible, but then I just couldn't resist giving him this haircut and changing a few other things because why not.

I plan on drawing other characters and more of Erik too, so hopefully I'll have enough time lol.

“If I am the phantom, it is because man's hatred has made me so. If I am to be saved it is because your love redeems me.”

Everytime I draw them they get more shaped

Running away now

The Phantom of the Opera is a guy in a mask who pretends to be a supernatural creature to harass his opera house into giving him ransom money, causing disasters when they don’t pay him.

Clearly, they should have hired these guys to stop him:

[purrcelot]

Flattering child you shall know me

See why in shadow I hide

Look at you face in the mirror

I am there inside

How come the Phantom from Phantom of the Opera isn’t a more common blorbo beloved by all tumblr. He killed people because he was so in love. He really wanted his crush to sing. He was defeated by the power of love and empathy because he never once experienced live in his life. His own mother was afraid of him. He died of love after the woman he loved went away with someone else. Let her go freely after she kissed him because all he wanted was affection. He killed a man. Wikipedia describes him as a dog willing to die for the one he loved. His name is Erik. He’s such a sad little meow meow
