Germs Got Me. The Whole Inside Of My Head, Throat And Chest Feels Inflamed. Like A Vampurr Who Snorted

Thank you, @greenfinchwriter , for tagging me in this tag game! I know we're supposed to reblog, but I can't hide long posts when they're shown on the "my posts" tab and that sometimes gets my goat, so I hope it's all right if I make a separate post!

Last TV show: Arcane

Last movie: Hammer's Dracula... I think? I've completely lost all sense of time.

Last book: A vampire romance in which the vampire, I kid you not, conjures cheesecakes.

Last thing I searched: Just checked. It's "bub meaning." I wish I could say it's "Sherlock Harpoon," but that was this morning.

Sweet/savoury/spicy: You are asking the gremlin who puts sugar in soup. Sweet.

Relationship status: extremely occupied with matchmaking my original characters.

Favourite drink: Cocoa, tea, soup, blood

Songs playing 24/7: "Judas" by Lady Gaga, "Love me normally" by Will Wood

Current favourite character: Van Helsing and Mina Harker (specifically from the Dracula book)

Fun activities I wish to get into: I want to try animating softwares, but it'll have to wait until I have a computer again. My antique PC is sadly ignoring me.

Last video game: Good grief, this ancient Undead hasn't played one in ages. Probably the Halloween game on Google Doodles?

Anyway, I drew Sherlock with a harpoon ages ago.

Oh, yes, I forgot to tag! @frommarshtheycome @windforkthewriter @t4z-0n-p4wz @whyisthereacentaur

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

Do you see it? Yes?

Yes.

Vampire Bitsy:

Ages has passed, and now he's looking at the even bigger box that says 'Series'.

Word count, bane of my existence

Now I have to spend ages fattening him up with descriptive prose and literary references…

Phantom of the Paradise, you're a curious one

For some reason, I was convinced PoTP was set in outer space. Star Trek meets Phantom of the Opera, if you will. ⚠️Mild spoilers afoot⚠️

In a way, I'm glad I was ridiculously mistaken. I felt the full shocking impact of a rockstar-biopic-style narrative turned '70s Faust fever dream. The rooftop scene was like waking up in a nightmare: the metaphor coming horribly to life.

Winslow is a great Erik/Phantom incarnation. As a writer, I'm in sympathy with him for being unable to realise his masterpiece because it's "too long" and the entertainment world doesn't care. And horrible adaptations ARE enough to drive one to notoriety, you go, Winslow. Terrible tragedy that he wasn't allowed access to Erik's gunpowder stash, he deserved it.

Beef is probably the most dramatic La Carlotta parallel to exist, and that's saying something. What in the Santa-looking heck was he wearing as a coat during his "I'm outta here" scene? Somebody Super Like You is absolutely delightful - until he started performing, that is.

Phoenix has a stunning voice and a certain something that just screams superstar.

I'm less impressed by Swan. I'm not acquainted to Paul Williams' works, so I'm speaking solely without context about his background. Personally, I don't think he has the devilish, vampiric quality I'd have liked to see in that role. That's the only letdown in the film, honestly.

Rambles about other POTO adaptations here!

Last Night at Vena Cava Pt. 3 is up!

Been seeing this meme around, and I had to.

Speaking of my goobers, I uploaded a chapter and completely forgot about it:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/63019435/chapters/161853298#workskin

Pierce and Sarah confront an angry client. Also lots of tea about Pierce's affaires du coeur.

Cowboy of the Opera

He uses a lasso, how could I not? When I found out that Ramin Karimloo's Phantom has a fancy hat, it settled the matter.

I recently found out Love Never Dies exists and will be spending the rest of my life pretending it doesn't. This is what I believe Erik would do if he went to America. He'll be fine, lots of train tracks to blow up.

More Phantom cats here, human Phantom drawing here.

Some time ago, I said to a friend (you know who you are) that Cherik had a big sword, and I remember this meme by @1loveonelifetime

Of course, I had to make a Kitty Cherik version.

More POTO cats drawings here!

*Slams this lil dude down on the table* Phandom, dinner time!

I found out that the Chinese Phandom calls the Phantom 饭桶, "Rice Bucket," because it sounds like "phantom" (fàntǒng... meh, close enough).

That isn't the best bit.

If someone is a rice bucket, it means they're good for nothing but holding rice inside them (i.e., eating). So it means "useless person."

Now, isn't that perfect for someone who cools his heels in a dank cellar and blackmails his way to massive wages?

More POTO nonsense here!

Merik, put that down. You know Cherik is one second away from throwing that timer at you. You're all banned. (THANK YOU for doing this!)

A special episode of the Phantoms House sitcom!

A trade/ collab with the fantastic @purrlockswatson <333 (ily)

Our boys tend to fight A LOT, so Cherik (who’s really good at cooking and basically the chef of the house) had the unfortunate idea of proposing cooking together as a bonding activity…

It was supposed to be something simple… But things did not go very well…

After all this mayhem he has banned the other Eriks from the kitchen, if they want to cook they have to ask direct permission to him and show him a recipe and a detailed plan on how they are going to cook said thing (or beg him to cook, like Gerik usually does)

i had a dream last night that i was being serenaded by count orlok as a small fluffy cat and i woke up both confused and really amused

then i realized why i had such a dream: YOU (/positive)

In dreams they came!!

Aahh that's adorable, thank you for telling me this, it made me smile!!

All Phantom of the Opera cats here and Nosferatu stuff here!!
