February First Was Hourly Comics Day! As Always, I'm Late To The Bandwagon.

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.

When I say I'm leaving you an inheritance of vampire jewellery, this is what I mean

Feed your vampire before you... frappé... them

Don't like frappuchinos? Have a juice box

I have also made fang rings, bat earrings, and a muscle bunny armour pendant. Oh, can't forget the nosferatu bag. I think being subtle about my preferences might not be my strong suit.

I need to put him in a safe place, he's so small 😭

Ah, good, ask box still open. Don't close it, or small Erik won't be able to visit you -

(Serious Questions coming later, but enjoy some fluffy Erik first)

Yeah, it is still open :-D

And OMFG AHHHHH look at him how cute he issssss ahhhhhhh can i buy himmmm??? Ahhhh

I just started a new journal for the first time in years. Of course, I'm addressing my entries to Count Dracula.

I quote: 'let this Undead creature address her woes to a dead Undead who wouldn't care less if she was putrefying from coffin-rot (bed-rot).'

I had to find some way to amuse myself while trying to be my own therapist.

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.

BAD. That's dirty fighting! Here, have this, okay?

(I'll have you know that Vlad is the whole reason I put in the sidenote. He's that notorious.)

which phantom is ur fav. in all versions. please.

Aahhhhh!

Got to say the OG O.G., Leroux's Erik, but it's EXTREMELY PAINFUL to say so and PLEASE don't tell me all the versions I didn't pick will be put on a converter belt to a Phantom meat grinder

(I'm sorry to every Phan friend who sees this. Cherik lovers, don't come at me with swords, I do love him, okay?)

All my Phantom art in which there is NO FAVOURITISM, I swear

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!!

Little fluffy Nosferatu, Ankle-Biter Krysa Veinessa Thumb Whateley-Dickenson, is hankering down to watch the new Nosferatu film. Sadly, this photoshoot was before I knew of the existence of the sarcophagus popcorn bucket, so our traditional one will have to do!

I'm not sure if she can eat the popcorn, but she does like holding them.

(Thank you to @greenfinchwriter @takeiteasyonmeimstilllearning @thatbluevampire and @vladimirsangel for giving her her lovely names!)

Too tired to draw, so I'm whipping out this old thing. It's me and the geniuses I share joint custody of a braincell with - @blackforrestpunk and @vladimirsangel . If you feel particularly un-brained today, it's probably my fault, I was forced to pummel the braincell because of a series of circumstances that led me to interview a vet and snail around on public transport for hours. But I had pizza, so that was all right.

(See here for context)

Art exchange with @frommarshtheycome

Who would win, the Skeleton Man or his own stage/screen adaptation?

Original comic with Christine here and Void Face Erik here.

Thank you, Marsh, for your wonderful art of Sarah!
