#melodramatic sewer goblin

[weronikaring]

Awhile back, Annie from Bad Squiddo Games had a sale of leftover minis from random places she’d bought minis from and never did anything with, and I bought this one. It’s pathetic and sad and I loved it immediately, if only because it reminds me of the Phantom (Erik) from Phantom of the Opera. It’s a sewer goblin, just like Erik, so I named it after the singing melodramatic sewer goblin. It has a (still nameless) rat companion.

How can you NOT go for the melodramatic sewer goblin?

I realize it’s been a while since the melodramatic sewer goblin post but I NEED TO ADDRESS A THING

many people have reblogged that post and have accused raoul of being unfairly dismissive of christine saying that she’s being visited by the angel of music, or even saying that he gaslights her by doing so

which I think ignores a big fucking thing: raoul is NOT PRESENT for most of the first act bullshit, and so as far as he knows, there IS no phantom of the opera! 

the closest he gets to knowing anything about it is when christine tries to tell him that the phantom is going to murder him, and her explanation of it is, essentially, “I went to a world of unending night where I met the angel of music that my dad talked about when we were kids, except he had a horrifying face and murders people,” which makes zero sense out of context and is also bonkers fucking yonkers. 

the audience knows the phantom is real and this actually happened, but raoul doesn’t! all raoul knows is that 

his childhood friend turned down a date with a weird euphemism about the “angel of music” being strict,

he heard a man’s voice in her dressing room

the day after, she went missing, then returned exhausted and refusing to see visitors, while he got a letter from a man he presumes to be andre or firmin saying he shouldn’t see her again, and

a bunch of potentially unrelated accidents happened during one production, including the soprano getting vocal strain and a dude possibly committing suicide

it’s literally not until the masquerade that raoul learns about fucking anything that happened in act I? at which point he immediately tries to find out more about it from madame giry and then makes a plan to capture the dude who’s terrorizing his girlfriend?

raoul’s only flaw, if you can call it a flaw, is being the dude in a horror movie who’s like “there must be a logical explanation for all this!” and being correct, except the logical explanation is “there is an evil genius who lives in the sewers and changed the architecture of the building specifically so he could fuck with people” and not “a bunch of unrelated events are scaring the bejeezus out of my girlfriend for some reason.”

I've seen and agreed with posts calling Eric a "melodramatic sewer goblin" but I'm less than a quarter of the way through this book and nearly every adaptation I've seen has toned it down. Holy shit.

people christine should be kissing: meg, raoul

people phandom wants her to kiss: the melodramatic sewer goblin

#but has anyone considered carlotta/christine?

Also, the Persian doesn't seem to have a lot of people in his life at all, except Erik. So who WOULD use his name, besides maybe Darius?

That’s true.

But when he introduces himself to Raoul, he doesn’t use his own name, that’s why I was thinking about it. 

(Also reminder that the Persian is a good man but he has no friends because of the melodramatic sewer goblin and what does he get for it? Almost killed at least twice, for what we know)

I love that your tag for the Phantom, Erik, is "melodramatic sewer goblin". It suits him perfectly! XD

Thanks! XD  It’s based on that popular text post that wonders why on earth Christine, when faced with the perfectly dreamy-in-every-aspect Raoul, she would possibly go with the “melodramatic sewer goblin”.  I loved it too much not to use it!

about your coworker: there is really no way of knowing if he'd be into you unless you put yourself out there tbh. don't be afraid just bc he was interested in someone else who's nothing like you. give yourself a chance

Ehh I mean... I’m under no illusions that I bring nothing to the table you know, like this isn’t being melodramatic this is based on my life experiences.

Plus I’m what the kids call... batshit crazy, emotionally vacant, openly hostile to most people, and I look like a dead sewer goblin so.... 

It doesn’t really bother me anymore like after a couple of years you really stop caring and it’s just eh. I’m more just excited to you know, meet a fellow mlm (Who I don’t want to punch in the face)

But thank you it’s very sweet of you to say those things
