ok but

what was the intended conclusion of Don Juan Triumphant?

Because, based only on the context of Point of No Return, there are only two options:

1. my man didn’t think that far ahead (likely)

Or

2. he really thought he and Christine were gonna raw dog it right there in front of God and everyone (very likely)

Which also begs the question — which act are they in? Of how many? Because I dunno what’s funnier, them fucking and then “goodnight everyone hope you enjoyed the show” or “it’s intermission!!! go grab yourself some chocolate covered raisins”

My Gerik Headcanons

Hey, guys!

Damn, this was already rotting here in my drafts. I planned to make this post months ago (only a few days after I created this page), but I always got lazy or too insecure to finish it. But now, IT'S FINALLY HERE 😄

As you probably read in title, these HC's are all about Gerik (Gerard Butler's Erik/The Phantom from the 2004 movie), so... well, don't get surprised if you expected something else. Also, these are all my opinions, so don't be an asshole if you disagree with them or just because you don't like Gerik or this specific adaptation 😒

Enjoy it 👍

Gerik doesn't have clear memories of his father. The only things that come to his mind in the few times he thinks of him is a big fist gripping painfully his tiny arm as a little child and a man lying dead in his bed.

Since he was born, Gerik's mother never let him walk around the house. Actually, he spent most of the time in his first years of life all alone, locked in a dark, cold and dirty baseament. The only times his mother would visit him was to give him some food or to hurt and punish him for simply being born.

Erik is not his birth name, but the one he gave himself after he came to the Opera House. His parents hated him and never saw him as their son, nor even a human being, so they never cared about giving him a name.

When he was only 7, his mother sold him to the circus. She took him out of the house for the first time, telling him they would take a trip to a very special place. Later, he would find out she planned this just to finally get rid of him.

When Gerik's keeper saw him for the first time, he didn't think his deformity was scary enough so, through the years, he would always find a opportunity to use his whip on him, giving the boy a more hideous appearence. He still bears most of the scars in his body, especially on his back.

Gerik got most of his magic knowledge in his time in the circus. One night, a magician who perfomed there notice the curiousity in the boy's eyes and decided to teach him some tricks, which he learned to execute very quickly. When the circus owners found out, they were very impressed and decided to take advantage of his abilities letting him participate of some numbers. This is one of the fondest memories of his childhood.

Sadly, most of his famous perfomances were as one of the main attractions in the freak show, being adressed as "The Devil's Child". Because of that, he spent most of his time locked inside a small cage.

In middle of the night, when the pain of loneliness seemed to devour his soul, Gerik would sing any sweet melody he created in his head while admiring the stars and losing himself in their light. There were times his tired eyes would catch some of his colleagues, other rare oddities, paying attention to him and his angelic voice. This is a habit he would mantain even after he started to live in the Opera House. Every night, he would go up to the building's roof and look at the starry night sky.

His only friend in that horrible place was the little acrobat monkey who lived in the camp. At least once a day, he would visit Gerik's cage and make company to him, play with him and make funny tricks to make him laugh.

It was the little animal who inspired child Gerik to build his monkey puppet who plays little plates (and also his music box years later). He still keeps the toy with him after all those years, even using him to sleep sometimes, but he'll never admit it.

He was only 12 when he finally killed his captor and ran away to the Opera with Madame Giry's help.

In his first years in the Opera House, he would spend most of his time exploring the dark tunnels and secret passages bellow the building, coming to the point of memorizing every corner in his mind, knowing the whole place better than anyone else. It would still take him some time until he could gain courage enough to finally come back to the surface and discover all the other places on the theater.

During his teenage years, he was haunted by night terrors. At night, those horrible memories of his childhood would always crawl back to his mind, so livid, making him shake, kick and cry histeracally until he finally wake up with the sound of his own screams. He still feared to be found and taken back to the circus. Happily, those dreams would become less and less constant as he grew up. But they've never truly gone.

He climbs the walls and the rooftop of the Opera, swims in the underground lake and practices fencing daily as forms of exercise. He learned in the most painful way what might happen when you're in the middle of a dangerous situation and you're too weak to defend yourself. He promised himself he would never be in this position ever again.

Red is his favorite color.

Since he can remember, darkness was always his best friend, the one who protected him from curious, scared eyes. It's his safe place, his refugee. But at night, before he lay down in his bed, the darkness which he's so familiar with, suddenly becomes something terrifying. The time he is asleep is the only one he takes the risk to be at anyone's mercy. That's why he uses so many candles to light his lair: because of his fear of waking up in the middle of the night, surrounded by darkness, and, suddenly, finding himself trapped in that baseament of his mother's house or in that cage in the freak show, vulnerable to anyone who wishes to hurt him again.

Gerik has no religion. As a child, he tried very hard to believe and find comfort in the idea of a kind, selfless and benevolent God who look out and take care of all living beings. When he still lived with his mom, he prayed every night, asking for God's help to make his mama love him back.

After his mother abandoned in the circus, feeling totally alone, hurt and helpless, he started to pray to God send him an angel, to embrace him and take him away to a place where his pain and suffering would finally be over.

When the years passed and, once again, he got no answer, Gerik came to conclusion that the existence of such powerful being was nothing but a lie, or maybe God was so disgusted and horrified about his existence that He, just like the rest of humanity, has abandoned him too ("A God like this could really be so cruel?! Am I really the Devil?!"). In the end, he prefered to believe in the first option because the second one seemed too painful to be true.

He shared a very close friendship with Madame Giry during his teenage years. However, reaching the adulthood, both got busy with their own works and duties (Gerik soon learned to not depend on his friend's care to survive and took his role as the Phantom of the Opera, while Mme. Giry became the ballet teacher of the Opera and got pregnant of her daugther Meg) and started to grew apart.

All Gerik's knowledge on romance comes from operas and plays (just like most of his knowledge in sword fighting as well), books and sweet gestures shared between lovers in their secret meetings in the Opera House.

He absolutely loves animals. There's no doubt he's the "animals are infinitely better than humans" kind of person (Christine and the Girys are his only exceptions). Every night, when there's no one else working in the stables of theater, he goes to take care of the horses, give them food and water and, in many occasions, rant about his feelings and frustrations with them. Even though he swears to himself he loves all of them equally, it's impossible for him to hide his soft spot for a certain black stallion called Cesar, whose personality is as stubborn and tameless as his own.

[carpeossa]

Can we just appreciate that Erik is the kind of friend who will actively make sure his best friend (Daroga) knows every single mundane/annoying detail of his life and that when he went silent for 2 weeks because he kidnapped Christine, the Daroga had to go to his home to find out what he was up to?

Also, you know for a fact that the Persian had a feeling that Erik was up to something prior to the kidnapping.

I present to you all, my headcannon:

Daroga: *reading the mail in his parlor* “Erik, I can’t make it to the cafe on Tuesday. I have a meeting with a transcriber who needs help on some documents in Farsi. I can reschedule for Friday at 2.”

Erik: *smoking one of the Daroga’s cigarettes and sitting in his chair* “That won’t work for me, I have an appointment that day. How about the following Monday at 9?”

Daroga: *Stops reading the mail and stares at Erik* “What do you mean you have an appointment?”

Erik: *Waves cigarette as he says* “Just that. I have an appointment.”

Daroga: *points at Erik with the mail* “No, no you don’t.”

Erik: *takes a long puff then exhales, smoke billowing under the vail of his mask* “What? You think that I’m incapable of having a social life that doesn’t involve you?“

Daroga: “Yes.”

Erik: *indignantly flicks ash onto the rug* “Contrary to your asinine beliefs, I am fully capable of having competent discourse with other members of society.”

Daroga: *ignoring the ash and advancing slightly towards Erik*

“You have never in your life given a thought to other members of society. You have always held them with contempt and disdain for not valuing the simple pleasures of being able to walk freely without ridicule or scorn for wearing a mask.”

“So yes, I highly doubt you having any other friends or making any, for that matter, with the exception of me.”

Erik: *promptly standing and towering over the Persian. Throwing the cigarette into the fire*

“You don’t know me Daroga. You may think you know me, but you are sorely mistaken. You are a fool who thinks that I want you, or that I need to converse with you. I am a man fully capable of making connections with other people than you! You damnable ass!”

*Erik storms out of the room*

Erik: *yelling* “Darius! I am leaving you to your boob of an employer! I require my cloak!”

Daroga: *following Erik* “Who is this poor devil that you are harassing?!”

Erik: *turning around and leaning close into the Daroga’s face before shouting* “You will never refer to them as a devil! You will give them at least that much respect!”

*turning back to the hall and shouting* “Darius! Quick, man! Or I shall be forced to render your employer unconscious!”

Darius: *rushing with Erik’s cloak in his out stretched hands*

Erik: *Yanking it from Darius’ hands and putting it on before storming out and slamming the front door*

Darius: “Forgive me for saying this, Sir. But he seemed more impertinent than usual.”

Daroga: *waving off Darius’ apology* “The truth needs no apology, Darius.”

*sighs* “I don’t know who his new obsession is, but I know he holds them in high esteem.”

Darius: “Would that not be a good thing? He generally hates everyone.”

Daroga: “For normal people, yes. But he is not normal. And when he realizes that the person he is obsessed with is not the personification of his vision of perfection, he with become wrathful.”

Darius: “How can he be any worse than how he is with you? He’s tame towards Señora Carlota when compared with how he treats you.”

Daroga: “You’re too young to know about what he did for the Shah. Erik is the most frightening creature you will ever encounter when he is angry. And thus far, Darius, you have only seen him annoyed.”

Just... the fact that Erik and Christine are both on record as referring to the other as "Angel of Music"

Like they get into disgusting cutesy couple fights

"You're my Angel of music"

"No, you're my Angel of music"

"No, you!"

"No, you!"

And Daroga/Mme. G and Raoul are just retching in the background. (Meg thinks its adorable and enables their sickening antics 1000%)

「My headcanons for Erik」

These were written both for the musical version and the Leroux version

• has social anxiety

• pansexual 🏳️‍🌈

• he has no fragile masculinity, he likes to wear feminine clothing and makeup

• gets scared when someone yells at him or raises his hand near him (he thinks they gonna beat him 🥺)

• he gets emotional to the slightest demonstrations of affection

• if anyone praises him, he cries

• sleeps hugging pillow, one in the arm and one between the legs

• he loves neck kisses. It drives him crazy 😍

• in his house there is hot and cold water (this is said in the book), but he just likes to take a hot shower because only then can he feel warm and imagine someone there with him

• he has nightmares almost every night and wakes up screaming, sweating and struggling, so he sleeps badly

• his dream is to be the little spoon with Christine

• he isolates himself because he is afraid of scaring people with both his face and his despair over love and affection

• he blames himself for being emotionally broken and mentally damaged

• he doesn't give a shit about the "moral and religious" conceptions of the 19th century. Truly a man ahead of his time

• he has a collection of blasphemous and controversial books: Dante's Inferno, The Flowers of Evil, Carmilla, Nana, etc

• agnostic 🧐

• aometimes when there is no ngm looking, he squeezes the Greco-Roman statues' tits and dicks. He finds it hilarious

• just leave his house at night to find Daroga

• he steals food from opera visitors

• sometimes he has cries out of fear of dying unloved and lonely

• he often has existential crises

• he loves Greek mythology (also referred in the book), his favorite myths are Medusa, the story of Hades and Persephone, and Hekate the goddess of witches 🗝️

• he loves flowers 💖🌹 his favorite is black Perfect-love

• he was influenced at lot by the oriental culture since he lived half of his life visiting the Middle East and Asia (this is more about the Leroux Erik)

I'll probably add more (you can let sugestions if you want <3)

Headcanon that Erik IS SUPER MEGA OBSESSED with being organised/ neatness/ control etc to the point where he'll stop you from going out if he dislikes your choices in clothes. He doesn't really care about other people outside of the operas they put on because they can all kick rocks as far as he's concerned, but if the show's bad or he doesn't like the acting/ directing etc he WILL show up and mess things up to make a statement. Spec of dust or dirt? Clean it. Clothes wrinkled? Straighten them. Missing space? Fill it. He's more bothered about the aesthetics of everything than how practical it is, and all the time he isn't busy watching musicals or scaring the cast he's down in his sewer trying to make it presentable. The places he takes Christine down to are the result of decades of obsessive cleanliness.

It's also an in universe explanation for why he doesn't have pets, because I thought at some point he would try keeping a dog or something since pets can love you without judging on your looks, but if this headcanon is true then Erik would be too pissed off about picking up dog poop or fur or whatever to ever even bother trying to raise a pet. And since he was raised in a freak show where people would have been treated as an animal at the time, it would have made sense for him to be cleanly as hell, because chances are that they would have limited sanitation and medical stuff available so god help you if you got sick or infected. Being in dirty places probably reminds him of being back at the show as well :(

This could also explain why he dresses up all rich and cultured then acts all entitled, when he was young he saw rich nasty people living happy lives and being shit to everyone around them, and he thought it was necessary to live like that in order to be happy, and he's obsessed with living like that even if he doesn't want to, he thinks in terms of all or nothing and his moral code is something like blue and orange. His reason for staying underneath the opera is because not only of the music, but because it makes him feel more cultured like the rich people who made fun of him. He could be acting like shit because that's what he thinks others expect him to do, regardless of how rational it is.

Unrelated but I like how people tag their posts as Yandere!Phantom or Yandere!Erik ignoring the fact that he's 101% a yandere in universe regardless of adaptation

Headcannons about Christine's red scarf:

The scarf was her mother's, which is why it means so much to her

If Christine ever is nervous before a performance, she'll take the scarf out of its drawer in her dressing room and hold onto it and focus on her breathing for a while

Her scarf disappeared once when she was still training to be a ballerina, she spent most of the morning trashing the opera house with Meg to find it, (i.e: throwing blankets off of ballet rats cots, emptying drawers, turning over tables.) Turns out Madame Giry took it to repair a hole in it and didn't tell Christine (And then she made Christine and Meg clean up said mess for the rest of the day)

Christine will wear that scarf no matter the weather, she'll find a way to include it in her outfit as a sash, shawl, etc.

Placed inside the scarf in the drawer is a family photo of Christine, Her mother and her Father the spring before her mother died. She'll often take it out and look at it, sometimes even tell them about her day as if they were somehow here again (I had to, ok-)

Harm that scarf and Christine will take your knees.

One time an older ballet girl took it from Christine to be funny and dangled it over her head (since she was still small at the time), her response was to cry and scream until Sorelli stepped in and got her scarf back for her.

Christine was buried with the scarf, per her wishes.

Phantom of the Opera is an adaptation of Swan Lake. Correct if I'm wrong.

Like :

. Christine Daae's animal motif being A SWAN

. Christine's abused by the Phantom for 10 years AND NO ONE KNEW. Until she tells everyone after the fateful mask reveal.

. Raoul is a beacon of light and hope in her life and returns to her life AFTER 12 YEARS and basically IS A REMINDER OF THE WOMAN CHRISTINE IS AND THAT THE PHANTOM CAN NEVER TAKE THAT AWAY FROM HER

. Christine struggles between her light ( seemingly pure, gentle and loving ) side and dark ( can be unhinged at times and has a taste for macabre things ) side. Her learning to embrace both sides plays a part in her victory against the Phantom.

. THE BALLET GIRLS ( ESPECIALLY MEG ) AND CHRISTINE'S PARIS OPERA FRIENDS BEING KINDA LIKE THE SWAN COMPANIONS TO ODETTE AAAAAAHH

. SWAN Lake and POTO are basically tales about rising above abuse and darkness.

. RAOUL AND CHRISTINE'S LOVE FOR EACH OTHER IS SO POWERFUL THAT IT INADVERTENTLY SAVED EVERYONE WHO SURVIVED THE POTO MADNESS

. The fairytale like allusions to Swan Lake ( the graveyard, the catacombs beneath the Paris Opera House )

. Christine transforms from being initially rather naive yet troubled at first, to a martyr like heroine who is literally willing to play Aminta for her loved ones ( no matter how EVERYONE around her begs her not to do so )

. The Phantom shuns Christine's light side and TRIES to coerce her to dark side ( listen to Music of the Night ). Raoul embraces BOTH her light and dark sides. And that is one reason why Raoul and Christine are soulmates.

Hello! If you’re taking headcanon requests, may I please request headcanons for what Count Dracula & Erik the Phantom would be like as husbands?

dracula and erik as husbands !

✧ warnings — some mentions of death and possible spoilers for dracula and phantom of the opera. also like 2 sexual jokes i think

✧ additional info — i got so so excited by this request omg <3 if u wanna id rlly appreciate it if u sent me more requests for phantom of the opera and classic monsters!! also not really specific versions of them but i mainly had the book versions in mind

✧ m.list — nav.

ೃ༄ erik destler

he wouldn’t wait to marry you

like at all

the second you show him you’re willing to be in a relationship with him and he’s sure you won’t leave him he’s already planning your wedding

of course if you wanted to take it more slowly he might be a little impatient but he’d try his best for you :)

but he’d be so happy if u were ready to get married as soon as possible

the sad thing is he’d get so stressed while trying to plan it because he’d want it to be absolutely perfect because that’s what he didn’t get with christine

and he’d try to convince you not to worry about it or help plan the wedding becaus he wants it to be a surprise for you

however he’d talk to you about what you want <3

so unfortunately he doesn’t know a lot of people 😭 so your wedding audience consists of daroga, mme giry, and maybe christine and raoul if ur lucky and manage to convince them (but they’ll be a little on edge)

and u can invite ur family if they’d be accepting of erik!

once y’all are married it’s so sweet and romantic ohmygod

he’d make u breakfast and dinner every single day, even if he’s had a particularly bad day

he just loves doing things for you

he’d also love writing even more songs and sometimes even entire operas for you or about you, you’re his muse

before he was able to take breaks from bis work to focus on you for awhile

but now you’re married he just can’t be away from you for two minutes

will sit on the floor and talk to u while u shower

or he showers with u

his love language is spontaneously twirling u around and redoing ur wedding dance in the most random places

also carrying u to ur bed if u fall asleep on him or somewhere else, before marriage he’d just let u sleep there and make sure he doesn’t wake u up

such a sweetheart <3

ೃ༄ count dracula

takes his time to marry you

but that’s only because he takes a lot of time working out when and where to propose and shit

and then probably has the wedding planned before you even say yes

which obviously you do

he’d be a little cocky abt u saying yes ngl cause he already knew u would

but the wedding itself obviously takes place at night and mainly other vampires will show up, but he won’t let them remotely near you assuming he hasn’t turned you yet

if he has then go talk to them!! there’s no risk of u dying or getting turned by someone else!!

he’d also rlly like cooking for u and shit since he canonically had to sprint around his castle to make it seem like he had butlers or whatever 😭😭

how good is fucking amazing btw

like god damn

and obviously he has a comfortable ass vampire bed that he’d let u put 60 pillows on if u want

he’d also like have a thing for ur hair no matter how short or long it is

he likes standing behind u and running his hands through it when u do literally anything for funsies

and his fingers are really pretty and long and cold so they feel nice

he also brushes it a lot esp in the mornings

he also doesn’t even look another persons way when he’s with u

ever.

and his brides are now just. draculas sisters or wtv 😭

unless u want them to be ur wives too he won’t complain

as much as he loves you there’s time where he js like. wants personal time to go kill people think

id also imagine ur very close with renfield

like draculas kinda mean to him but ur rlly nice to him <3

like for example waving at him when u see him or just going “hi renfield!!”

renfields probably the one who found u ngl

i can’t think of anything else for him mb pookie 😔 i’ll add to this later

~Oh. It is a shame- despite your sweet letters, he wishes to hear those words from your delectable lips.

~But he cherishes every single letter, and pins them all to a special wall in his lair. Reads them all constantly and just stands there for so long reading them, again and again and again.

~Sometimes he even wishes you'd read them out loud to him so he can hear you say the words from your heart.

~But if you're too shy to do it, he understands.

~kind of

~He might ask you during a make-out session or something if you love him.

~Then he asks how much you love him, trying to coax you into telling him like you do in your poems.

~When his temper is rising for whatever reason, he may snap at you and claim that you don't even love him, he's never heard you go on about him in your voice like you do in your written words.

~It's just very hard for him to read your words on paper but never hear them in your own voice.

~When he's getting a bit too emotional and lonely, he'll hold one of the poems you wrote to his lips or chest to feel close to you, and he gets frustrated when his eyes are blurry from tears so he can't read the things you wrote to make him feel better.

~Even though you struggle with telling him out loud, he adores every poem and every letter- especially if you kiss the letter beside your signature and leave a lipstick mark. He'll kiss the mark you left.

My Christine Daaé AU✨

this is a Christine i created for myself, inspired in both the Leroux version and the musical (PS: this one is blonde and have blue eyes)

- she cooks very well (she always cooked for Erik and he loves it dearly)

- her favorite color is blue 💙

- she has freckles :3

- she is a weird monsterfucker girl (just like me fr) but she never admited it to anyone

- she was always excluded by the other kids because they considered her weird and not "feminine" enough ("femininity" in their conception would be submissive behaviour)

- as her mother died when she was 3yo, she barely has memories of her mother

- her father, Gustave, educated her with an open mind, without any gender-rule or religious bullshit, this is why Christine grew up to be a strong open minded woman without bias or prejudice

- the first time Christine met religious opression and sexism was when she met De Chagny family (Raoul's family), she was very young

- bisexual queen 💅 (everyone is queer to me unless you prove me opposite)

- she developed a shame of herself when everyone else considered her "weird", but when she met Erik – a much weirder person than her – she felt related to him and better with her own weirdness (and his as well)

- her father died when she was 13yo

- she is shy 🥺💙

- she absolutely LOVES Frankenstein and has a deep admire to Mary Shelley

- her favorite Opera is Don Giovanni (she was pleased to see Erik was inspired by it to make his own Don Juan Triumphant)

- she had a good memory of Raoul and how their friendship made her happy, but when they remeet and he acts like a shitty asshole with her, she was completely heartbroken by not recognizing him

- after meeting Erik, she befriended the Daroga and they both became silly Erik's babysitter and emotional support

- she admires the figure of Persephone, and her favorite version of the myth is the one where Persephone wasn't kidnapped, instead she married Hades willingly and moved to the underworld to escape Demeter's overprotective maternity

- she ADORES painting. Aside from singing, it's her favorite thing to do

- speaking of painting... she loves to draw Erik. It became nearly an addiction, she loves drawning his face, his golden eyes, and sometimes she asks to paint his whole body (yes she asks for nude poses, and he obeys 😌)

- she is a woman ahead of her time, she has no shame of her pleasure and knowledge, and she teaches other girls to stand up for themselfs in every oportunity she finds

- she has no religion and hardly believes in something else beyond what she sees and experience (but she respects other's faiths)

broke: music of the night is sexy bc it’s all vague metaphors for fuckin

woke: music of the night is sexy bc the phantom is encouraging Christine to let go, to surrender to every decadent, indulgent thought and impulse, all the while denying himself. At every turn he deflects her touch, turns her away when she looks too long. He’s battling his own desires, clutching at the threads of restraint, desperate for her to make the first move. He wants so badly — but can’t quite give in. He is giving himself to her fully — not physically, but in the only way that matters. He thinks the only thing he has to give her, that keeps her by his side and binds him to her is his music. In this way, he is truly loved for his own sake — a devil amongst mankind but an angel of music.
