Susan Kay's Phantom // L'Opéra des Vampires by me. (Full except and context below cut)
I haven't yet uploaded this part of Gothic Tales because this "tale" is undergoing severe redrafting, but this scene stands thus:
(Anyway, chapter one of Gothic Tales is up on AO3!)
My Erik is very talkative. I also had to take care to make him more gremlin, since he's often too wise and sad.
I think a lot about how Madeline swore to change when it's too late. Maybe it wouldn't have been different anyway. Maybe it would have been too late even if Erik didn't leave that night.
Finished a(nother) draft of my writing and looked down to see my gingerbread vampire looking back at me like this:
Mr Pierce... Mr Pierce, what have you done? What do you know? Why are you looking like me that?
Well. Unless this little doofus has better ideas, Tale One is complete - that is to say, it has a beginning and an end and a relatively coherent plot in between. That's a victory for me!
I have to delete so much stuff... too many long talking scenes about the meaning of life and such. I don't know how it happened, and I'm eager for it to un-happen.
Thanks for the tag @achildsfirstsorrow @frommarshtheycome and @angel-with-paper-wings , I'm honoured!
Last song: "A Milion Gruesome Ways to Die"
Favourite colour: I grew up among Plantone books and paper samples, there's no way I can choose ONE, my inner amateur graphic designer will curse me.
Last movie: Nosferatu 1922. Made my family watch it, they showed me a puppet from hell that supposedly looks like Orlok, and now I can't unsee it.
Last TV show: It's been a minute, Arcane...?
Sweet/savoury/spicy: Sweet>savoury>spicy
Relationship status: On my way to be a crazy cat lady. Sans cats, but I'll fix that.
Last thing I googled: "Do people still say hip?" My inner Victorian is showing, isn't it?
Current obsession: Drawing things that make me anxious into as silly vampurr comics
Looking forward to: Like ACFS, I'm waiting for Del Toro's Frankenstein, finishing my vampurr book, posting my writing (at last), and menacing my friends when they wake up.
I think we've gotten into the PoTO artists' end of Tumblr, so we're probably double-tagging like mad, but I'll do it anyway. @leader-of-grandys @blackghostm2o @wowyzowy3 @lokislynx @windforkthewriter @thedrawingduke @v-jack-v @vladimirsangel @blackforrestpunk (I already know you two but there's always "better")
Omg thank you much for tagging me! @dearwormw00d :3
Last song: You're not alone, Allison Russel
Favorite colour: dark green
Last movie: Lord of the rings: The fellowship of the ring
Last tv show: The Gilded Age
Sweet/savoury/spicy: Sweet>Savory>Spicy
Relationship status: Single
Last thing i googled: hand holding pencil brush reference
Current obsession: One Piece, Nosferatu, Ethel Cain, my fem erik, Epic, Critical Role, studying the Enneagram again, Castlevania Nocture, The Apothecary Diaries, Witch Hat Atelier
Looking forward to: season 2 of the one piece live action, the oscars ( I want to see my beloved Fernanda Torres win), my necklaces that I've ordered, hadestown live recording, Superman, my next RPG session, Percy Jackson season 2! @insanely-creative-things @lepetitghostcat @fishing-rob @erik-christine @muirin007 @klausscrimshaw (ik it's not 10 but idk who to tag anymore, sorry ;-;)
Cherik + Famous Last Words.
I'm okay, I'm okay. Trust me. *Kicks the wall*
To make up for it, have something silly too. (Kudos to @blackghostm2o in the tags of my last Emo Cherik!)
Thanks @t4z-0n-p4wz for tagging me in an ask game!
1.Favourite band of all time: Goodness, I don't know any. Maybe "Concrete Blonde" or "Will Wood and the Tapeworms."
2.Scent I really like: A tiny bottle of Miss Dior someone gave me from Christmas. Or the sea. Or frying bacon. (Not all at the same time.)
3.If I were a crystal, what do I want to be? Honestly, I'd rather be a stone so deep in the earth's crust that nobody will dig me up. But Amethyst, because a family member gifted some to me at a stressful time for luck.
4.Team vampires or team werewolf:
VAMPIRES.
Thank you for specifying not Twilight. If that were the case, I'm team pest control.
5.Favourite animal print: Leopard. I have so much leopard print I can become a weirdly shaped leopard if need arises.
6.Strangest item of clothing I own: I don't have it yet, but I'm making a Nosferatu bag.
7.Baggy clothes or fitting: Style-wise, fitting.
8.Socks or no socks: socks, if I remember
9.Favourite Sanrio character? I'll say Cinnamon Roll, but with Kuromi's colour palette.
10.Favourite horror game: I don't know any! Recommendations?
Original drawing
Hellooooo! Send a number in my asks for this drawing challenge I found!
As a treat, you get to say which character you want to see: POTO cats, any of the ones in my MultiPhantomverse, or my OC crew like Pierce.
If you people muddle around like the last time I asked your opinion, I'm joining Raoul in the chair-throwing club 🪑💨
BUT if you've got interesting templates/prompts to send me, don't hesitate, I'll take them!!
how do you feel about love never dies' erik and lnd altogether😭😭
(love never dies art + thoughts with actual words here.)
HISTORICAL REFERENCE IN A CHRISTINE DESIGN AAHHHH -
I'm treating this rationally. I am. Honest.
(Original meme by @blackforrestpunk )
@forever-and-whats-left ,a Christine Daaé for you. I hope she fits the bill. I gave her an earring and some hair accessories based on some pictures of Christine Nilsson, widely believed to have been an inspiration for Gaston Leroux.
Erik.
(More Woolly Erik here)
Results are in... of course. How can I forget that this blog is haunted by Phans? Fluffy Erik it is.
I'm pretty sure I'm powerless to resist making more than one (if not all of them) eventually, so no need to break your brain trying to choose just one.
For those who don't know her, this is my nwedle felt Nosferatu, Ankle Biter Krysa Veinessa Whateley-Dickenson, Kryssie for short. More pictures here!
I made a Nosferatu. And gave her the coolest boots my mind can concieve of. What should I name her? Give me your most unhinged ideas.
(This is where the tin foil in my kitchen goes. The thumb is full of the stuff.)
More felting crafts: @vladimirsangel 's OC Innocent and his vampire chicken. (I do make things other than little menaces. I swear.)
Amanda. Artist. Writer. Victorian vampire. Here lies my shenanigans.
