Finished my Phantom Copia sketches! Please enjoy angels of music! ♥️✨
the final performance of phantom on broadway - april 16th, 2023
I just had an epiphany
Erik was the first Nice Guy. He even wears a fedora
There is ONE song I don't like so much in Phantom.
I know I will disappoint some people but it's Music Of The Night.
Don't know why but I don't like this song and I always skips it when I watch Phantom
Here's a potato 🥔
"He really puts the petty in petty crime"
My bf about Erik💀
embrace
Fantome-stein is an online comic that combines Phantom of the Opera, and Frankenstien. It has beautifully striking, dark, dramatic artwork, and strong characters. I can not recommend it whole-heartedly though, because I’m 78% sure that the author intends to MERCILESSLY MASH OUR HEARTS, MAKE A JAM WITH THE PASTE, AND SPREAD IT ON TOAST WHILE SHE CACKLES AT OUR MISFORTUNE. Alas, I am already invested, so if you find me in an emotionally spent heap somewhere, you’ll know why.
On the bright side! Raoul and Christine are very fun to draw :)
OH my gosh. I adore Fantom-stein so much
Chapter 2: Pages 5 and 6
“Like moths to a flame…”
Boom, a two page update! Kind of a pivotal moment for our little warrior princess and the musical dungeon slob…

Sounds about accurate XD
Oh, I’m just having tea with Raoul before I go Punjab him and steal his girl….ya know….the usual.
These two are lovable dorks
I freaking love our Phanbase.
What kills me is that Love Never Dies, The Great Gatsby, and Chicago all take place at roughly the same time in two of the biggest cities in America like just to be a guy in the universe would be WILD.
I'm tired of seeing the word grooming taken out and used all the time by people who probably don't understand its definition.
For the record, Christine was in her twenties, when she met the Phantom / Erik. She was a fucking adult, in a society that for the time considered her a spinster. She never turned 15 or 16 in the original story, as people are so fond of claiming.
Also, Erik is not a villain but an anti-hero character. I'm tired of seeing him constantly demonize, like he's just a bad guy, when he doesn't.
Erik and Christine are basically twisted versions of Beauty and the Beast, Hades and Persephone, and Romeo and Juliet. Without forgetting that they are also, among other things, the incarnation of death and the maiden.
Erik also symbolizes Christine's sexual awakening and coming of age.
Whether you like it or not, they have a romantic and sexual connection in the original text.
There is something embarrasing, but also hot that there are at least two fandoms that has their ships named "cherik", and you've been to both of them.
Erik drawing!!!!!! Drew this during class and I'm actually kinda proud of it
Phantom of the opera has me in its iron grip. I can’t stop listening to the 1991 songs (specifically the save me/final lair song). On my first watched I didn’t like it much, now I find it quite amusing. David stellar carried it tho.
Some parts like the ending are actually very interesting. It’s a fun take on the phantom, with him going for his next victim (who may or may not accept?).
Definitely one of the more memorable phantoms for me and I did laugh a few times so at least that’s that.
Love the creepy opera basement man 😔🙏
Okay, so which one of you people made my Erik Destler character.ai so horny???? I've been absent for two days!!!
Erik/ the Phantom of the Opera personality type: INTJ 4w5
Myers Briggs: INTJ
Ni: Erik is excellent at predicting future outcomes. He always knows what people are going to do next and is a meticulous strategist and planner. His primary focus is making his personal artistic vision come to fruition, which is having his opera performed with Christine as the prima donna. He is intuitive about what people are thinking and what their motivations are.
Te: Erik is efficient and practical. He becomes frustrated when he believes other people aren’t doing their jobs adequately and manipulates everyone at the opera house in order to accomplish his goals. He can be ruthless when it comes to accomplishing his goals and will even harm others to make his point, like with Joseph Buquet.
Fi: Erik doesn’t have many people he cares about; he really only cares for Christine. Erik’s Fi is immature and so he is prone to outbursts of emotion. He does not regulate his emotions very well due to having been rejected by society his entire life.
Se: Erik is agile and skilled in combat. He is a skilled swordsman and holds his own against Raoul. He can sometimes be impulsive, but usually his actions serve to help him achieve some sort of goal.
Enneagram: 4w5
Erik is emotional and intense. He expresses himself through his art and his artistic vision is based on himself instead of what he thinks will please others. He is authentic and individualistic, and moves to 2 in times of stress. When he fails to win Christine’s love he kidnaps her and tries to manipulate her into choosing him over Raoul. Erik is also very knowledgeble and uses his various skills to protect himself from the outside world.
Instinctual variant: sx/so
Erik’s primary concern is that he wants to be loved and in a relationship, and becomes obsessed with Christine for this reason. He uses his music to express his sexuality and desire for intimacy that he has never been able to experience due to his appearance. Erik wants to be accepted by society, but has never felt acceptance due to his appearance. He wishes for people to show him kindness and when he is finally shown kindness by Christine, he finally demonstrates an ability to show compassion.
Temperament: Melancholic Choleric
Erik is an analytical thinker and a deeply emotional person. He wants things done right in the opera house and becomes annoyed when he believes people to be incompetent. He is also efficient and can be bossy and demanding of the managers in the opera house. He is very particular about how he wants things done and becomes frustrated when people do not listen to him. He can be blunt with people when he feels they are not doing things correctly.
Let this be a lesson Part. 1 NSFW!

______________________________________________________________
You always felt miserable at the fact that Erik always compared himself to other men that you would talk to saying that why wouldn’t you go to them if they were better looking and nothing compared to how horrendous and deformed he said he look you and him had went over this may times and it wasn’t a issue until you went to go pay a visit to him in the liar and you found things scattered every where it was a mess your eyes couldn’t believe it while you went to where his bedroom was at you found his mask on the floor and next to it was a broken mirror with glass everywhere and before you could notice one was already in your foot and as you went on so was his wig on the floor as you picked it up as well you see him on the floor on both knees and hands on his head
You couldn’t bear such sight and finally you call out for him “Erik love are you alright dear?” He could hear you close so he hid his face from you, it was noticeable “love you don’t have to hide away from me Doll, now be a good boy for me and let me see you alright?” He turns around his eyes full of tears and so red you could tell he had been crying for a long while “what’s going on doll why is my pretty boy crying for?” He inhales a with a twitch and replies with “ What does such angel see in such thing like me why have I such horrendous want to be a human like deserve to be seen by your beauty…. Such angel, such beauty and lets not forget the love you offer” you hated to see him like so and replied “Your not bad Erik I don’t care about your looks im here for you handsome I love you so much I cant get you out of my head..” The thought of you made you feel so hot just how much a man wanted you he was so scared to lose you and such sight of him on his knees you could see a bulge on his pants and you were dressed in such tight clothes and with your wine night robe and god were you craving him and slowly you couldn’t even tell but your legs kept opening just at the thought of him and he noticed and you could see the bulge get bigger and with your teasing eyes you see him and he has his face of when he begs for a taste you couldn’t control it anymore “Erik doll do you want to see how much I love you my good boy?” You said as you slowly took of the bottom peace of your tight night Lacey shorts revealing your white lace panties and how soaked you were before Erik got close to you and asked if he may do the honor you respond “ No baby be a good boy now Erik and let me make the music of this night maybe if you are good to me and stay silent and watch you and dont move maybe you can help later on how’s that?”
He replies with a slow nod and you were so ready you slowly remove your pantie and throw it at his bulge and he looks down slowly and up at you begging you can tell he’s dying to lick at your wet folds and have your taste in his mouth. Very very slowly you trace your hands from your chest to waist and finally your folds wit both fingers and wide opened legs you opened your folds and it made a wet sound as you opened them and you slowly traced circles at your clit while looking at Eriks face just watching you pleasure your wet womanhood slowly. It felt so amazing and you started saying his name mixed with your moans and he couldn’t bare but just look since he was dying to help you later like you said he could if he behaved. Finally you slide one finger in you and then another one as well and as you stretch your walls out you let out a “ohh yess Erik” and start thrusting them in and out of you so slowly and you see Erik and he’s just admiring you and you go faster and you see his expression change since he could hear your walls being so wet and he needed you so bad at the moment you start saying his name like its a prayer over and over again and you start to feel your climax and before you do you stop
You stop and Erik seems so confused he needed to see you finish and you knew you knew very well he needed you to finish so you didn’t “Did you want me to finish doll?” “Yes mon ange I needed to see my angel finish please finish for me mon age please your good boy begs you!” At the sight of him begging you finally reply “let this be a lesson Erik that good boys listen ive told you over and over to stop talking s negative about yourself and you won’t stop doll, im not finished with you get but I guess you may get a sample.. open your pretty little mouth now will you handsome” And he opens his mouth slowly and with the same fingers you pleasures your self with since they were so glossy you slowly trace the deformity on his puffy lip and you go and suck on it with your mouth, you feel him inhale air and look at you with begging eyes. You move back and he opens his mouth, you finally put the fingers in his mouth and he sucks on them desperately sucks them clean and you remove them slowly from his mouth “ Are you ready to learn your lesson handsome” and he nods desperately “I hope you know im not going easy on you doll...”

Erik Destler x Reader
summary: tonight you have a big performance and Erik promised being with you through it but you weren't expecting him to be under your dress while you sang what will go on under that dress knowing he cant keep his lips off you?
Warnings!! MINORS DNI THIS IS A SMUT thank you!
────────────── ୨୧ ───────────────
You had a huge performance tonight you were nervous but you were ready and so was Erik he had mentioned before that he was going to make you a stunning dress but that it wouldn’t be as stunning as that face he so much praises you were nervous and you were getting ready when you felt his presence you felt the presence of your beloved you our around to see Erik looking as handsome as always and you finally saw the big beautiful sparky white dress he had told you he had made just for you
You were stunned so stunned you could believe your eyes it was huge and so long and so you walk towards him you hug him and finally cup his face and give him a kiss and he melts into it finally pulling away you ask “ Doll is this the dress you have been so excited to show me?” You knew he was excited since he wouldnt even let you in his liar since it was a work in progress but finally you know why since the dress was huge so big you thought you wouldn’t need a crinoline of hoops of how big it was but oh how you were so wrong he had one but you noticed something was off it was also big,But why would you need one so big if the dress was big enough and that when Erik made you wake up from your thoughts “My angel remember how I said I shall be with you in this performance and not to worry about nothing darling?” You had thought he meant he would be watching you in box five as always and that’s when it clicked he was going to be under your dress.
You knew Erik couldn’t keep his hands and mouth off you he never could he always had his lips on you, He just to carry your taste in his mouth which he loved so much but you didn’t mind you loved the way he would grab your arm and kiss every part of it making sure he wouldn’t miss a spot and how he would suck on your skin so carefully but full of hunger and how good he would eat you out and lick your folds and- you then broke out of your thoughts and you could feel your cheeks hot at the thought of what he would do to you tonight you had to find out what this man is capable of and finally you asked “Erik love are you going to do what I think you are tonight?” which Erik replied to “ If it kissing those worries off my angel then yes now let me help you my angel this will take a bit” and so he helped you but god can this man not keep his hands off you passing his chest on your back grabbing your waist with one hand and cupping your face in the other looking at your mirror you smiled and he kept looking at you up and down in your undergarments finally placing kisses onto the crook of your neck and you could feel his mask and the deformity in his lips and how much you elated him to eat you tonight and.. Then someone knocked on your door “15 MINUTES GET READY Y/N THE CROWDS BEING SAT!”
Both you and Erik snapped back quickly he helped you you but the crinoline which was huge your corset and that beautiful sparkly dress he had made for you he then carefully put your hair down from the net that you put it in to make sure it stayed in shape and you were done and ready he then pulls a beautiful white rose and handed it to you with a kiss full of passion which you so much loved and you were heading to your door to leave until Erik grabbed your waist before you turned the door knob and left and with a cold voice said “And where do you think your leaving to doll you forget the best part of this dress” Your face flushed you had forgot he was going to accompany you tonight and so Erik got on one Knee and you saw him look up at you with a smirk and god did your face get red you felt the heat in your face and so he lifted the dress a bit so he could fit and he did god was this man obsessed with you finally you opened the door and you could feel him crawling and you had to be quick since you probably had like 8 minutes by then a crew member calls at you and everything is just getting checked and Madam Giry then comes up to you with Christine and meg their all smiling at you proud of how much your hard work has paid off and finally Madam Giry asks “Are you ready now Y/N?” You smile at her and nervously reply “I think im ready im kind of nervous all these people came to see jus me on this stage singing for them I just-“ and you finally felt Erik kiss your leg you jumped a bit since you were to nervous to even remember he was there with you
But that kiss on your leg surprisedly made you feel good and all ready for your performance and so you reply to Madam Giry “ I am ready Madam Giry” with a bright smile and so she starts leading to where tour going to sing, Meg and Christine both saying your going to do lovely and smiling at you and finally there you are standing just waiting for them to open the red curtains infant of you finally they did the orchestra starts and you know your going to have to start any second now and you do, You knew you were doing as Erik wanted you to since you felt him kissing and sucking on your leg but you continued to sing you were close to the part where you just had two hit the highest note and you noted Eric got closer to your woman hood you felt him opening your legs and kissing and your inner thigh and that’s when you remembered
You were always so nervous and Erik could tell but he had promised you were going to hit the high note no matter what and so you felt him slid down your panty a bit and by that point you were a water fall you were soaking and you knew he took the time to admire since he didn't do anything you were close to the high note when you felt him grab your thigh and with his knee move you leg to widen them more and that's when your note got higher when he licked your folds and oh did it feel so good he did littler circles on your clit and you started making your notes high and he did circles even faster until finally you felt his tongue hot tongue in you and and you felt your knees weaken and your voice a fit and when you felt his tongue leaving you a bit you focused you needed him at that moment you just needed Erik and you needed you finish as well as hit the note and that when you were like a bit away from the note your voice getting more pitched and you Felt his tongue on your tight walls and he put a hand on your clit this time tracing circles on it and you were so close you felt close and so was the part of the high pitched high note you needed to hit and finally the time came you had to hit the high note in seconds and Erik knew since his tongue went in and out of you faster and faster on your clit with his hand and you were about to cum right on this face you couldn't wait you wanted to and finally at the perfect timing the high note and your orgasm came and you did the most high pitch high note ever.

Note! Hey guys hope you all enjoyed this I love you all so much let me know if I should continue this story and I do take requests I will be doing them!
THANK YOU.
Controversial hot take, but The Phantom (aka Erik) was never the better choice for Christine. He abused her. I get that some people love "dark romance," but the reality is that she never saw him as a potential lover, and he never saw her more than something he could control and use. Also, he killed a man, and that immediately made her not like him. In the main song for the musical, he literally sings, "My power over you grows stronger yet." Power. Not love or devotion. Power. He saw Christine as a tool for him to use so someone could sing the music he wrote. To the Phantom, Christine is his possession.
Music Of The Night is just the Phantom projecting his hatred for the world and light on Christine, trying to get into her head that she should be in the darkness with him. It's possessive. That's all it is. Note that Christine doesn't have any singing roles at all in the song either. We don't get to hear what she has to say. She's entranced simply due to the fact that she's finally face to face with the man who helped her with her singing voice, and she is being shown new things.
Of course, this all falls apart when she takes off his mask and scares her. Literally chasing her. He calls her a "demon" and a "viper." It's only after he sees Christine's tearful and fearful expression that he starts doing the, "fear can turn to love," thing. She's still afraid of him, though.
Then the El Muto incident happens with Bouquet, and Christine is scared as shit. Raoul thinks that Christine is believing in fairytales, but that's because Christine was also the type to believe in things such as fairies. It makes sense that he wouldn't believe her at first. But of course, people who hate Raoul stop there and go, "That's why Raoul sucks!" But the reality is that he realizes that there's clearly more going on, and that's why All I Ask Of You happens. It's literally the opposite of Music of the Night. Most of all, Christine actually gets to voice her feelings, so we understand her better.
Raoul offers Christine freedom and protection. Christine sings,
All I want is freedom
A world with no more night
And you always beside me
To hold me and to hide me
Now, are we ready gonna sit here and say that she would have chosen the Phantom if it wasn't for Raoul? Christine finally gets a moment to use her words, and this is what she says. She never wanted to be with the Phantom in the first place. It was his singing voice that entranced her, but everything else scared the shit out of her. And when Raoul offers to be her "light," why wouldn't she take that opportunity?
When the Phantom claims that Christine "denied" and "betrayed" him, not only is he projecting hard, but Christine was never obligated to return his affections in the first place. You can't scare a woman to tears and then murder a man and get mad when the woman doesn't want to fuck you. Even the lines, "He was bound to love you when he heard you sing," is just a way for him to somewhat cope with what happened. The reality is that while the Phantom wants to believe that Raoul manipulated Christine into picking him, the two already harbored feelings for one another back during their childhood, and that puppy love they shared never truly left. She wasn't manipulated by Raoul, but the Phantom wanted to manipulate her.
Also, I love how people act like the Phantom truly loved Christine. Even though the moment she picks Raoul, he immediately says she will pay for not doing what he wanted. Then he drops the chandelier. That's textbook abusive behavior. "You don't do what I want? I'll hurt people and say it was your fault."
Christine is also now highly aware that the Phantom would kill Raoul if he knew she was close to him. She says that before All I Ask Of You and during Masquerade. She loves Raoul and can't wait to marry him, but she doesn't want the creepy man who lives in the basement knowing. And again, when the Phantom appears, he says to Christine, "Your chains are still mine– you belong to me," once again seeing Christine as some kind of possession.
And most of all, in Notes/Twisted In Every Way, Christine gets to sing this:
Raoul, it scares me–
Don't put me through this
Ordeal by fire...
He'll take me, I know...
We'll be parted forever...
He won't let me go...
What I once used to dream
I now dread...
If he finds me, it won't
Ever end...
And he'll always be there
Singing songs in my head...
He'll always be there
Singing songs in my head...
[And a little later she also sings]
Do I become his prey?
Do I have any choice?
He kills without a thought
He murders all that's good...
I know I can't refuse
And yet, I wish I could...
Again, there are people who think she should have stayed with the Phantom? Like, are you serious? Did we watch the same musical?
The story of the Phantom of the Opera is literally about a young woman discovering that someone who should have been her friend and guardian was actually a predatory abusive man and how she escaped him. But I get it. A lot of people didn't read the original book where the Phantom is ten times worse, and yeah, the men on stage are kinda hot. I do get that. But we can't forget that he was so abusive and controlling. Erik is the textbook example of how abused people can end up hurting more people. Yes, his backstory was sad, but that's no excuse for what he did. You can't force a woman to love you.
Yeah, I know. This is a rant. I'm just kinda sick of people who just seemed to miss the point of the narrative of Phantom and are acting like the literal abuser was the correct choice for Christine even though she made it clear the in story that she wanted to get away from all that. It was never about her singing career for her. That was never a be all end all. Love Never Dies isn't canon. I don't want to see people using that as some sorta gotcha.
Tl;dr
The Phantom is a little piss baby, and he wasn't the better choice. Stop pairing a victim with their abuser. It's weird.
THE PHANNNNNTOM OF THE OPERA IS THERE INSIDE MY MIND.
