Remember Woolly Erik? His Debut Has Been Delayed Due To A Sad Wardrobe Mishap. Let's Just Say The Seat

Red death.

I was recently informed by @blackghostm2o that we never got to see Cherik at a masquerade. This is my humble attempt to rectify that, since we all know that Cherik is the best dressed Phantom. The fashion historian Bernadette Banner has made a Red Death gown with the boning exposed to give it a skeletal look, so I borrowed the idea and incorporated a boned corset.

Erik.

Pharoga cats are back!

Gremlin Cat Erik returns with his ducky swimmers! It should be a tag now, I've drawn them at least three times already

More Pharoga cats here, all POTO cats stuff here

Erik live reaction:

(This happens every week. Erik should not be allowed near good WiFi reception.) Vlad, it's beautiful. The little hairs on his wrinkly forehead are vital. And you used one of my favourite Raoul kooky quotes! My first little bald cat Erik has come so far *teary sigh*

"With Erik, you never know. Is it Erik? Is it the cat? Is it the ghost? No, with Erik, you can't tell!"

@purrlockswatson has this fantastic version of Erik who is a Sphynx cat. So I thought I'd do a portrait of him because I really enjoy drawing cats. And Eriks.

Am trying to trim down a monstrosity of a manuscript. In the meantime, enjoy some of my Best Writer Brainrot Moments.

BRIEFLY. I was trying to spell BRIEFLY.

More of my spelling mistakes here.

The trouble of having a deadpan face. She's going to be passive-aggressively delighted about this for the rest of her days.

Thank you so much @frommarshtheycome for drawing my Sarah!

@purrlockswatson 's OC Sarah Bernard from 'Gothic Tales from Melancholia.'

I love her design, I had a lot of fun drawing her!

Making a Nosferatu bag. Paused and went, "Oh no, it's Bitsy!"

Do you see it? Yes?

Yes.

Vampire Bitsy:

Tried to think of something clever to say, but

Scrolling around in the morning, thought this was the drawing from You've got the Watches (with Raoul, Erik and Christine), then got the biggest jumpscare 🤣

I love this. It'll probably take me a few days to process. I've been in few group photos and this is so much better because it's me and my braincell friends! Will never not think about this.

I'm GOING to post mine, you're too fast, Aiden, ahaha (good luck, Vlad)

It started with this

And it ends with this

I forgot why, but someone told someone, that is us.

Soooo i guess it was @purrlockswatson cause she remembered me, to draw us in my style. She did it aswell, but actually didn't post it. Aaaand because we are sharing one braincell @vladimirsangel has no other choice, to do the same. Have fun Vlad, my frrrrrriend.

Hahahahaha good night.

@blackforrestpunk Gruel is served! (Pt. 1 here)

C'est le 💅🏻Fantôme💅🏻

I’m reading the Le Fantôme de L'Ôpéra. Here are some highlights of my Kindle highlights:

The correct translation is actually something like 'she was reading a book with gold edging,' tranche meaning both 'edge (of a book)' and 'rasher (of bacon.)'

(As a walking, talking dictionary, I am morally obliged to mention that the translation is actually ‘dandies’ not 'gentlemen.')

You can probably guess that the last word means ‘unmask.’ And we all know how well that goes down with Erik.

Poor Persian, though.

This segment was cut out of De Mattos's English translation, so I don't have an explanation for this. (See replies for Vlad's traslation!)

Being a Goth has really improved my French. First I kept writing French captions for my Interview with the Vampurr comics (examples here and here), and now I'm reading a French classic despite only understanding around 1 word in 5.
