Hold me, love me, touch me, honey Be the first who ever did

This song always make me think about Erik and Christine...

The wands, marked by a red curtain, since it is the element of fire. This is 9 of Wands: The Phantom has seen and heard Christine and Raoul on the roof (8 of Wands) and is heartbroken. What to do now?

This card will be in our Phantom of the Opera Tarot, that we are currently busy developing. Give us a follow for more progress :)

I love re-watching a certain part of the video over and over and over again and then opening Tumblr to have it be the only thing on my feed for ages. It's so comforting to know we are all in fact disgustingly para socially attached. It's wonderful. I love it here.

The South Korean productions of The Phantom of the Opera are so incredibly phenomenal, and so underrated.

I just wanted to say thank you for the stream last night. I've been following you since my first day here and I keep appreciating your works. I don't know, after all the meanness you had to bear, how it's possible you're still so kind to anyone. Please don't give up

Awww thank you!!! You're too kind!!! Unfortunately The Phandom on here is very cult of personality gatekeepers and years ago I pissed off the gatekeepers, who till this day swear they aren't gatekeepers. However the whole Phantom Italy experience just proved to me they are gatekeepers or try to be. None of them went to Italy, yet they were the first to post every single photo or video clip here on tumblr. Being involved in Phandom on other sites showed me where exactly they got that stuff, yet they act like they own it and control it on here.

Then later on and up till now I have the nerve to have nuanced political views and we all know you can't have those on the internet. And people in Phandom can't be seen hanging out with me while I have those because it means you agree with those things because that's how the world works. /sarcasm Though seriously I had friends on here get hate mail just because they were friends with me and they had to be like "Bonnet has been nothing but kind to me and has explained her stances to me" and yet they still harassed them.

Then the ultimate thing I did to piss some of them off was I jailbusted the London Post Changes "Love Never Dies" Boot. Several of the gatekeepers had but would never trade or sell it because the master of it marked it "not for trade" but then dissapeared from the trading scene. I spent a lot of time trying to track the master down to no avail. I then spent a lot of time going to various places and I finally tracked it down outside of these gatekeepers (I won't reveal how) but once I had it, I put it up for anyone and everyone to download. I was like it's a 10 year old boot nobody is going to get hurt. I got hate mail for it but I got way more love and thanks from people who wanted to see it.

And as my recent posts have showed I just got doxxed on another site for just advertising I was going to show this. Like IDK. And this doesn't even touch the drama that happened in my once popular Phantom Discord server. But those people involved will probably never even admit my Discord server was the place to be after the tumblr porn and nudity ban but I could bring screenshots if I wanted to.

My goal with my Italy boot is to do what I did with that Love Never Dies boot. As someone who got into boot trading, I know what happens with rare boots, traders hoard them and those are the ones people want to see and then never do. However because I have these idiots on that other site yelling copyright I'm going to hang low on it for a little while. Plus so far I'm the only person I've seen admitting to having a full boot And I know that must be really pissing off the gatekeepers. I'd be lying if I didn't admit pissing them off added joy to my making the boot.

I know this was long, but thank you for your kind words and watching with us last night! It was exciting to share it with all of you but also a little frustrating because I saw it 4 times live there were so many times I wanted to type in the chat you just had to be there.

The owner of this bullshit post was thankfully deactivated (i mean, too bad that s/he couldn't take responsability for the shits s/he says, i wanted to talk "face-to-face" with him/her but now it's impossible), and the reblogs "defending Erik" didn't help in anything. It frustastes me how much the phandom looks weaker when defending Erik. It's not about wishing death to antis (even though they are toxic and even dangerous to other people who "love their enemy"), but letting it CLEAR that the things they say are wrong and hilariously stupid.

The phandom (mostly) loves Erik because he's nothing like this anti described. He was possessive and jeaously? YES HE WAS, and i'm not saying his relantionship with Christine was healthy (at least not 100%). But this person, who by the way seem to have missed the grammar class, describes him as a cruel and manipulative murderer. I wrote a whole blog better than this one explaining how Erik was not a cold-bloody murderer like some antis (and honestly some "phans" too) say. So it's useless to write everything again.

But let's talk about the manipulative. One thing that always bothered me when i watched the Andrew Lloyd's adaptation was Erik being such a liar manipulator, like, he even pretended to be Christine's father. It's not only hilariously unbelievable that a full grown woman would fall into such stupid lies because of a VOICE, but it's also something the original Lerik would never do. Yes, he lied to her about being the angel, but he regrets it deeply, he revealed the truth himself (unlike the musical) because he knew it was wrong and he needed to be close to her as a man. Plus, of course, he would NEVER, in a million lifetimes, pretend to be CHRISTINE'S FREAKING FATHER.

...and Leroux!Christine wouldn't be that dumb to believe him either. Lerik is the one who is easy to manipulate, and Christine uses his feelings to keep him calm and happy when he was with her in the underground. She knew he loved her, she feed that feeling and pretended to respond so she could discover more about him (and because she didn't want to hurt him). Christine is NOT A BAD PERSON, she is kind, foolish, strong and intelligent, but a lot of her actions are questionable the same way Raoul's (mainly) and Erik's are.

So yes, i understand when people are bothered with Merik being much more manipulative than he should be. But let's not forget that neither Merik or Lerik intented to hurt Christine, both of them loved her and regreted the wrong they did to her. And what bothers me so much is when this anti called Erik a rapist and pointed to Love Never Dies as an evidence of this supposed cruelty.

I'm very curious to know which part of his ass s/he found this information. This anti has literally no idea of what a RAPIST is. Rape is when a person forces sex into someone else, and such an abusive, disgusting act of cruelty DESTROYS the victim's life - the fact that we have to explain to antis what rape is and how it affects victims is... tragically disturbing. This person has no idea the consequences of her/him actions, his acusations, his words, literally no idea. You don't need to have more than 2 living neurons to understand Erik IS NOT, NEVER WAS, and doesn't even come CLOSE to a rapist. Imagine calling a perfect victim of physical/emotional/psychological abuse, social phobia, loneliness and emotional disorders a rapist... all because this person was jeaously of her/his crush?

It's hilarious to think someone could be so unscrupulous, irresponsible and obssessed over purity police to an innocent person like that. But yeah, here we are, answering a deactivated garbage post! And really, i tried to watch this "dark and unique" version of Webber's Crap Fanfiction Love Never Dies where Erik rapes or hurts someone, and i didn't find anything. If someone find the treasure that our lord purity-police here is talking about, please, link me? Because it would make me hate LND even more.

What really frustrates me is that Erik phans/stans are afraid of defending him and end up almost agreeing with a disturbed blog like this. He is not a villain, a man beyond redemption, a former MURDERER, a serial kidnapper, an obssessive dangerous stalker... or a romantic hero. He isn't any of these things. He is an anti-hero. A flawed man, fulled of traumas and social frustration, victim of abuse, with absolute lack of love, affection and tenderness, grown up with hatred, humiliation and violence, all of this shit life that made him emotionally instable, afraid of the society and desperate to be loved and accepted.

He was an asshole with Christine many times, no one is trying to deny or justify it. But he's not a bad person for this. He wronged a lot, but he recieved the compassion he needed and deserved from Christine. His toxic behaviour doesn't make him a monster - it's the opposite, he is the one who needed compassion the most. He was a genius, a noble man with a strong heart, but the circunstances of his life "forced him" to be an akward, lonely man that doesn't know how to socializate or express his feelings.

He is NOT capable of doing horrible things like some "phans" said (yeah, phans, not antis), at least not on purpose. He was forced to do gruesome actions in Persia, FORCED, in the place he was tortured and faced terrible traumatic experiences, but this is not his nature. If his mentally/emotionally instability makes him "dangerous", then he needed professional help, and not being called an unredeemable monstrous rapist by some petty anti.

Thanks for reading. A lovable kiss on your tiny cute butt.

Some Erik sketches ✨️

Our reversible backside of the tarot deck. Since the deck is quite colorful we chose for a black and white backside. It features the stairs of the opera house with Christine and the halls below with the Phantom.

hiyaa :) ask game so we can tag phan!! shuffle your favorite playlist and post the first five songs that come up + if you think they can be related to DnP or not. Copy/paste this ask to your favorite mutuals!!

Call Your Mom- Noah Kahan

Literally anything that talks about depression i will think of Dan, and how it could tie to him, but also this song can remind me of him if i think about it and angle it correctly, but it's a song that I personally relate to a lot and my brain just can't mash it with dnp for some reason because of how deeply personal i feel about this particular song.

Zombie- The Cranberries

No, not really other than it's Emo. Well, more grundgy than emo, but still the vibe.

Vampire Empire- Big Thief

nope, i don't think it can be related to Dan and Phil.

Interrupted by Fireworks-

Yes, literally can't think of any other people when i listen to this song. Dan talking about how this song reminds him of Phil in a deleted forum post in a website that probably doesn't exist anymore.

Beautiful Things-

I suppose it could be about them if you really try, anxiety of the only good things in your life being taken away by a higher force as "a lesson", never been able to fully let yourself be happy because you're afraid of the consequences.

[anylemontrees]

okay phans is that what we’re still calling ourselves

what if we get spooky week in 2023 ???

[mybreadsmybutters]

when i was a kid i wanted to be a famous youtuber like dan and phil so that people would gay ship me with my irl best friend and we would be sooo weirded out by it and laugh and make videos joking about it but secretly it would make her realize her repressed gay crush on me and i'd help her through her gay crisis and then we would have a sickeningly sweet sappy romance and read fanfiction about ourselves together... anyways just found out she's married to a guy in the mafia now so i probably don't have a chance
