✧ additional info — i got so so excited by this request omg <3 if u wanna id rlly appreciate it if u sent me more requests for phantom of the opera and classic monsters!! also not really specific versions of them but i mainly had the book versions in mind
✧ m.list — nav.
Tumblr media
ೃ༄ erik destler
he wouldn’t wait to marry you
like at all
the second you show him you’re willing to be in a relationship with him and he’s sure you won’t leave him he’s already planning your wedding
of course if you wanted to take it more slowly he might be a little impatient but he’d try his best for you :)
but he’d be so happy if u were ready to get married as soon as possible
the sad thing is he’d get so stressed while trying to plan it because he’d want it to be absolutely perfect because that’s what he didn’t get with christine
and he’d try to convince you not to worry about it or help plan the wedding becaus he wants it to be a surprise for you
however he’d talk to you about what you want <3
so unfortunately he doesn’t know a lot of people 😭 so your wedding audience consists of daroga, mme giry, and maybe christine and raoul if ur lucky and manage to convince them (but they’ll be a little on edge)
and u can invite ur family if they’d be accepting of erik!
once y’all are married it’s so sweet and romantic ohmygod
he’d make u breakfast and dinner every single day, even if he’s had a particularly bad day
he just loves doing things for you
he’d also love writing even more songs and sometimes even entire operas for you or about you, you’re his muse
before he was able to take breaks from bis work to focus on you for awhile
but now you’re married he just can’t be away from you for two minutes
will sit on the floor and talk to u while u shower
or he showers with u
his love language is spontaneously twirling u around and redoing ur wedding dance in the most random places
also carrying u to ur bed if u fall asleep on him or somewhere else, before marriage he’d just let u sleep there and make sure he doesn’t wake u up
such a sweetheart <3
ೃ༄ count dracula
takes his time to marry you
but that’s only because he takes a lot of time working out when and where to propose and shit
and then probably has the wedding planned before you even say yes
which obviously you do
he’d be a little cocky abt u saying yes ngl cause he already knew u would
but the wedding itself obviously takes place at night and mainly other vampires will show up, but he won’t let them remotely near you assuming he hasn’t turned you yet
if he has then go talk to them!! there’s no risk of u dying or getting turned by someone else!!
he’d also rlly like cooking for u and shit since he canonically had to sprint around his castle to make it seem like he had butlers or whatever 😭😭
how good is fucking amazing btw
like god damn
and obviously he has a comfortable ass vampire bed that he’d let u put 60 pillows on if u want
he’d also like have a thing for ur hair no matter how short or long it is
he likes standing behind u and running his hands through it when u do literally anything for funsies
and his fingers are really pretty and long and cold so they feel nice
he also brushes it a lot esp in the mornings
he also doesn’t even look another persons way when he’s with u
ever.
and his brides are now just. draculas sisters or wtv 😭
unless u want them to be ur wives too he won’t complain
as much as he loves you there’s time where he js like. wants personal time to go kill people think
id also imagine ur very close with renfield
like draculas kinda mean to him but ur rlly nice to him <3
like for example waving at him when u see him or just going “hi renfield!!”
renfields probably the one who found u ngl
i can’t think of anything else for him mb pookie 😔 i’ll add to this later

Come Rest Your Bones Next To Me, And Toss All Your Thoughts To The Sea
Christine x GN!Reader
Raoul x GN!Reader
The Phantom (Erik) x GN!Reader
(Separately)
What the trio would get you for your anniversary!
Warnings/Notes: I admit I’m a Raoul hater so his part is going to be ass, fair warning
Tumblr media
Christine
• Most likely is sneaking away from the Opera House to have an outing with you so don’t expect a super long date if rehearsals are supposed to be going on.
• Something sweet and simple, she knows what it’s like to be.. love bombed.. shall we say so she likes to enjoy the smaller things with you. A picnic as the sun rises or sets, doing each others hair and dressing in extravagant clothing which may or may not be costumes, enjoying sweets and tea somewhere hidden in the opera house so you can be alone (+Erik).
• Singing for you; showing all of her hard work on the newest song she needs to learn, if you are a singer yourself she definitely has a few duets up her sleeve.
• I feel like she’s more of a ‘few meaningful gifts’ kind of person as opposed to spending all of her money on things she doesn’t even know you’ll use.
• If you’ve at any point mentioned something special from your childhood she wants to include that in her gift, maybe she has found a copy of an old favorite book or turned something only you will understand into a necklace; no matter what she will do what she can to bring something you love to life.
• Your favorite flowers, if they aren’t in season she’s had them prepared months before this anniversary. Anything to show you just how much you mean to her.
Tumblr media
Raoul
• He’s a fancy rich man, of course he has something planned that makes you feel like royalty.
• Over the top bouquets, expensive meals, a carriage drawn by pure white horses. He goes all out for his lover, everything needs to feel perfect.
• Of course, money can’t get you everything in life. It can however get you that item you’ve seen in shops and adored but don’t have the money for, Raoul is happy to get you this as long as it brings you joy.
• Unlike Christine I feel like he would shower you in gifts, among the pile you would end up with, yes; there would be meaningful and precious gifts but the rest are spoils from his wealth.
• He would try his best to empty his schedule and make all the time in the world for you, if your schedule is the problem he might try a little bribery of your employer to get your being out of work for the day.
• In the end it’s your relationship which is being celebrated, if this means minimal gifts and smaller amounts of time it matters not to him. Well, it matters a little bit. But as long as you remain happy and he feels like he can keep you safe then he will be content.
Tumblr media
The Phantom, Erik
• So so freaked out let’s be honest, even making it to a year of being in a relationship has cause for some kind of celebration for him.
• Like Christine he wants to sing with you, even if you don’t sing (unlikely, considering who he is) he wants to show you something that he treasures. He wishes for your praise but is most likely not expecting it.
• The quantity of gifts depends on your preferences, he’s learned that he does tend to come on strong so he doesn’t want to scare you off. If you do like more material displays of affection then he is more than set, he can clearly sew beautifully so if you need new clothes or repairs on old ones he is more than capable. Not to mention the money he gets from the opera house, asking Madame Giry to retrieve the gifts for him so he can stay hidden.
• Writing, of course. Poetry, songs, simply melodies; he has it all, all for you. Music is where he can express himself and really ‘get in the zone’ without fear of judgement. That is until he’s done with the small performance, that’s when he will flush and the anxiety will set in. Praise him too hard too suddenly and he might just burst into tears.
• All in all nothing too extravagant will be happening, all he needs is your love to be happy. His proclamations of love will be given and all he can do is hope that you return them with a smile and kiss on his cheek.

Roses Are Red - Erik Destler (The Phantom) X Female Reader
Tumblr media
Title: Roses Are Red
Erik Destler (The Phantom) X Female Reader
Additional Characters: Christine, Madame Giry (Mentioned), Meg (Mentioned), Reader's father (Mentioned)
Requested
WC: 1,628
Warnings: The reader has a father, the reader wears a dress, insecurities, and slight family angst, and that's about it
The beautiful fabric felt heavy in your hands. The soft cotton and lace in such unique designs, it was your best work yet. You had spent months on this dress, working long hours after everyone was asleep to complete it before Christine's big night. You'd always been good with a needle and thread but you hadn't ever made an extravagant gown before. Stopping at Christine's dressing room door, you stared down at the dress. Christine was so lucky, getting to do what she had dreamed of doing since she was little, getting to be a star. You only wished that one day you could be like her.
Stepping into Christine's dressing room, you were immediately greeted by the rising singer. She quickly turned around, eyes widening as a gasp left her lips. "Is that it?" She asked, breathlessly.
"Is that the dress?" She repeated as you handed it over to her.
Christine took in a deep breath before taking it in her arms. "Yes!" She cried out happily. "It's perfect!"
You smiled. "I'm glad you like it."
She ran her hands along the material, running them across the delicate lace and soft fabric. "This is so beautiful! I've never seen anything like it."
You smiled sheepishly, "Well, it is a one-of-a-kind dress. Made for you." You joked lightly and Christine nodded with a huge smile.
"You are amazing, Y/N." She said, brushing her hand against your cotton sleeve. "Thank you."
"No problem." You replied with a nervous chuckle.
You helped with the corset and strings as she brushed down the many layers of the dress's skirt. You both worked in silence, enjoying each other's company while getting ready for the biggest performance of her life. When you finished with the last bit of laces, you stepped back to look at the final product. It was beautiful on her, and you were glad you finished it in time.
After finishing up her hair and make-up, Christine was ushered out of the dressing room and backstage. You stood in her dressing room for a moment, sighing as you clasped your hands and bowed your head. You would usually stand on the side of the stage, watching most of the show, and you knew it would be the right thing to do; supporting your friend. But, at that moment, you wanted to be alone.
Heading up the stairs to the dancer's shared bedroom, you headed to the back of the room, where a wooden door stood. Grabbing your key from your skirt pocket, you unlocked the door and headed inside, climbing a smaller set of stairs before arriving at your small room. This was your special place. A place where you could go to feel safe and relaxed. You carefully shut the second door behind you and locked it with the key, before sliding the bolt closed. Lighting a candle and hanging up the lamp, you walked over to your desk and grabbed your violin.
Picking it up, you ran your fingers against the ebony wood and sighed once more. It was your father who also was a violinist like Christine's father. He was long gone by now, leaving you alone to care for my Meg's mother, Madame Giry. While Christine now had a grand room to sleep in, and Meg slept in the room with the other dancers, you had your small room. And that is all you could ever hope for. Closing your eyes, you began to play softly, humming along with the melody. As you continued playing, you noticed your fingers were beginning to ache, but you didn't stop or slow down. You continued to play your deathly beautiful tune, feeling the song flow through your body.
You slowly opened your eyes again, your chest rising and falling with heavy breaths. Setting down the violin, you dragged your heavy feet to your bed, falling down onto the scruffy quilts, you shut your eyes and fell asleep.
~~~
You didn't know how much time had passed, but you quickly opened your eyes and sat up in your bed when you heard footsteps at your door. One of the perks of being a light sleeper. You just hoped it wasn't that creepy man who wandered the dancer's room while they were away. Staring at the door, you waited, quietly, watching, only to furrow your eyebrows when a small letter slid under your door. Getting up, you walked over, picking up the letter. It was a soft creme color, with a dark red wax seal, imprinted with a skull. Ominous, yet beautiful. Unlatching your door, you quickly swung it open, only to find no one there. Narrowing your eyes, you hesitantly shut the door again, locking it, before sitting on your bed; the letter in your hands.
Sliding your finger under the envelope's seal, slowly breaking the wax and freeing the letter from it. Setting the envelope on your bed, you unfolded the letter, immediately impressed by the writer's handwriting.
"My dear, you played beautifully. Your talent is something that should be cherished, not hidden. I would love to hear more. - O.G."
Your eyes widened as you stared at those two simple letters. The Opera Ghost had written to you. Complimenting you, wanting to hear you play again. A thrill ran through your stomach. You hadn't expected someone like him to notice you, he was the one who indeed got Christine her role. Flipping the letter, you were surprised to find more writing.
"Meet me in Christine's dressing room."
Your eyes couldn't have widened anymore. Christine's dressing room? Why? Why would he want to meet there? What does he want? Shaking your head, you closed the letter and stood, tucking the letter back into its envelope. Whatever it was, you were too curious to not go. That was your one flaw, you were so intrigued by the Opera Ghost, not even Meg's ghost stories could change your views.
You hurried downstairs, making sure to lock your door behind you before heading downstairs. You paused outside Christine's dressing room, listening for voices, of which you heard none. Stepping inside, you froze. There was no one there. Was this a joke? You figured he would at least be waiting for you, but instead, it was completely empty. Slowly turning around, you found yourself face to face with the Opera Ghost. Hidden behind the large mirror, half of his face was covered with a white mask, cloaked in all black.
He raised his hand out towards you as the glass moved to the side. He held his hand out to you as his light blue eyes silently begged you to take it. Taking a step forward, you hesitantly reached for his outstretched hand. His gloved hand was cool and smooth as he pulled you closer, reaching around to pull you closer as well. You shivered as he wrapped his arms around your waist, pulling you close to himself. Looking down at you he whispered,
"Please don't be afraid, Y/N."
You couldn't look away from his eyes; the perfectly blue hues staring right back down at you. "You know my name?" You asked, voice soft, breathless even.
He chuckled, nodding his head. "I do."
"But why?" You questioned as he cupped your cheek.
His smile was blinding, piercing you with its beauty. "I have heard you play long before tonight. Almost every night you play to the ghosts of the opera house. And I've been watching you ever since then." His voice was so low, like silk against your skin.
"Why me? Why am I the one that you've shown your face to?" You asked, unable to look into his eyes, casting your gaze on his black shoes.
The Phantom gently cupped your chin, lifting your face to meet his eyes. "Because I can see you as clearly as if you were standing in front of me. I know how hard you have worked to get where you are today. From being left behind, to finding a place here. And I know you will continue to work hard. That is why I chose you."
You felt his warm breath against your neck as he spoke. "What do you mean?" You asked, tilting your head to the side slightly.
"I want you to audition for my next production." He said simply, "I want you to play my song. The one I wrote especially for you."
You blinked rapidly, trying to process what he'd just told you. "What?" You asked, unsure that you heard him correctly.
He pressed a kiss to your forehead, letting his lips linger there before he finally released you. "I'm sorry," he murmured, "I forgot myself. I'm going to take my leave, but please, think it over, my darling." He spoke, pressing a leather folder into your hands.
And, within a blink of an eye, he was gone. You stared into the dark hallway, before exiting the mirror passageway. The mirror slid behind you as you stared at the leather folder in your hands. Unclasping the leather clasp, you flipped it open, eyes scanning the notes on the lines. You began to hum along to the song as you slowly left Christine's dressing room, closing the door behind you.
Christine ran down the hall, holding the skirt of the dress in her hands. "Y/N! Did you hear- what's that?" She asked, noticing the leather folder in your hands.
You looked up at her and back down to the music sheets, closing it shut, "It's... Nothing... I have to go... Congratulations on your big night, Christine." You spoke hastily, before stumbling past her as she frowned, having recognized the leather folder in your hands. She was worried about you, and what the Phantom was planning.

CHIGIRI SMUT PLEASE 🙏 (preferably sub chigiri) just write anything you want for this♡♡
was so happy to see this, thank u anon <3 it’s ten fucking pm, not proofreading this…
he’s just fucking himself w a dildo while u watch.
chigiri’s puffy face is the same color as his hair. it would be a damn lie for him pretend that he’s not widely humiliated and the compromising position that he was in? didn’t fucking help. ass pushed up in the air, cheek pressed against the sheets and fucking himself senseless.
the squelching was so lewd, yet, so pleasing to hear as they were mixed in chigiri’s pretty cries. thankfully his hair was pinned and out of the way with a lobster clamp. ‘giri looked a complete mess.
you watched him too. your eyes never strayed away from his figure. so satisfyed that your goading worked like a charm (as it always did) seeing him going numb with arousal was such a turn on.
chigiri’s not complaining this time either, whining that he gives up, that his arm hurts — he’s taking it like a fucking champ, going mad with pleasure and determination to make you eat your words. he fucks himself how you asked, the dildo pushing past the ring of muscle over and over, the dull tip kissing his prostate.
his arm had to be on fire.
“f-fuckkk!… s’good..” he babbles, shamelessly. chigiri’s looking past you, afraid his heart would leap out of his chest if you meet eyes.
his sobbing was getting out of control, bouncing off the walls. but he couldn’t find it in himself to give a fuck, not when he was on the verge of cumming.
his eyes rolls into the back of his head.
“oh princess, look at you,” you whine, distress heavy in your tone. chigiri knew it was fake but it didn’t stop his hole from clenching around the pseudo cock. “working so hard to cum just for me.”
his pathetic cock and balls on the edge of turning purple, from in between his thighs. they were stiff and jolting — dying for release. only slithers of cum drools out his puffy slit and down his pinkish skin.
“wish it was me hm? fucking you like that?” chigiri does his best to nod against the sheets. he looked pathetically adorable, you couldn’t help but grin.
rhythm getting recklessly unsteady, curses flying out of his mouth — he was close.
“so fucking pretty. so fucking perfect. proud of you baby, been at it for so long.” chigiri releases a pleased whimper.
as if you couldn’t resist, your hands grope him all over. paying extra attention to his soft round ass.
“y-yes!”
“cum for me princess, wanna see.”
and he does, with a strangled cry chigiri’s cock shoots out streams of cum all over his legs. oh, he’s swearing up a storm when he fucks himself through his orgasm, all seven inches disseappearing in his ass just before his body flops on the bed.
you slowly clapped, grinning. you quickly decide not to give him not even a minute before you start spewing out nonsense. “you did so well hyoma, looks like you don’t need me to fuck you anymore,”
“the fuck?!”

in a high school/anime slice of life au, what would the ros do for valentines day? and i don't mean what would they do for a date, i mean who's making homemade chocolates for their crush and confessing on the day of, who's ignoring the whole thing, who's returning the favor on white day??
Ooh, interesting question!
(For those not familiar, in Japan (and therefore in slice-of-life anime), Valentine's Day is typically when girls give chocolate/sweets either as giri chocolate (obligation/courtesy gifts) or honmei (gifts intended to be received as a romantic gesture), and on White Day one month later, boys are supposed to repay or return the gifts they received on Valentine's Day back to the girls, sometimes with the thought that their 'return gift' should be 2-3x the value of the original.)
As for how the characters would react if they were in this kind of slice-of-life high school anime AU...
Blade: he would be so indifferent to these holidays lol I'm not even completely sure he would be aware they existed? He'd certainly reject any gifts he received from people he didn't know, and he'd "return" the gesture on White Day with the absolute bare minimum (like a little store-bought bag of chocolates) because his mom forced him to or something
Trouble: "oh damn, I love chocolate! Thanks!" :D
Tumblr media
*completely oblivious that this gesture could be anything but friendly, inadvertently and ruthlessly crushing the hopes of several admirers*
He'd attempt to bake his own chocolates at home for White Day, but they'd end up looking so nasty and mutilated-looking, like
Tumblr media
They'd actually taste decent, though!!
Tallys: she would bake elegant little cookies or brownies purely as courtesy or giri gifts for all of her friends, of all genders, but she might secretly slip in something special (like a heart-shaped cookie) into the bag of the person she secretly had a crush on! No one would ever know, though!
Shery: she would make the CUTEST cookies and chocolates in little pastel-wrapped baggies for all of her girlfriends 🥹 She'll give some to the boys too, but it's more like a "oh I just had so many left over, please enjoy 🥰" because it's the female friendships in high school she'd treasure the most, and she wouldn't want any boys to get the wrong idea!! These gifts would be so perfect that they'd be the envy of all who saw them!
Riel: he wouldn't pay any attention to the holiday whatsoever (until he got a box of chocolates from some hopeful first-year and brutally rejected them out-of-hand so as not to waste anyone's time...) He gives off an intimidating aura, but would actually really appreciate receiving little candies and sweets and things as giri choco from people like Tallys or Shery because he LOVES sugar, so he would use these as fuel for his late-night cram sessions! 👓 For White Day, he'd buy them expensive, thoughtfully-chosen white-gold jewelry, because Riel Syndran ALWAYS surpasses expectations!!! If you give him a gift he'll return it six-fold, not just two or three times in value!!!
Chase: realistically, he'd probably be swamped with gifts on Valentine's Day and bombarded with all kinds of confessions, and he'd probably indiscriminately accept each and every one of them with a big grin and an easygoing demeanor that would just make more and more people feel like it's safe to confess to him because he seems so receptive to it! Realistically, though, he could be ambling down the hall loaded up with flowers and chocolate and see someone like crying in a nook because they got rejected (like by Blade or Riel lol), and he'd stop to have a chat with them and would probably hand them a bouquet of flowers, like "Here, I don't need it! Cheer up!" --Inadvertently winning himself yet another heart. I think he would sincerely appreciate and enjoy the gestures, but the materials themselves wouldn't, like, mean anything to him specifically, if that makes any sense. Ironically he'd probably treasure even giri chocolate from close friends way more than romantic honmei from near-strangers, and his reaction to the gifts from friends would be markedly different and more excitable (usually for trolling purposes, but also sincere enthusiasm). Like getting chocolate from a random admirer would be like "Oh, thanks so much, I appreciate it! :)" whereas getting some chocolate from Briony or Trouble or Blade would be really dramatic and embarrassing, like "REALLY??? YOU MADE THIS FOR ME??? 🥹🥹 I DIDN'T KNOW YOU LOVED ME SO MUCH 🥹🥹 Ahhhh I knew you had a soft spot for me~~~ I'm so happy right now~~~ 🥰❤️"
For White Day, I feel like he'd just pretend he "forgot" about the holiday to dodge having to show favoritism to any one admirer/suitor, lol, so none of his romantic pursuers would get anything--but somehow he'd get away with it due to his 'lovable scamp' reputation! He'd probably treat his friends to dinner or something to repay them for their giri chocolate, though!
Red: Like Chase, he would politely accept each and every Valentine's Day gift offered to him, regardless of its implicit meaning, which inevitably would lead to all sorts of messy romantic entanglements and misunderstandings that Pan and Neon would give him hell over. "Why the hell did you accept chocolate from that girl if she said she likes you??" "Well, she made it herself, it seemed rude to just reject it..." "BUT NOW SHE THINKS YOU'RE DATING, AND SO DOES THE OTHER ONE WHO GAVE YOU CHOCOLATE" "yeah I'll probably have to clarify at some point..." "SOME POINT"
He's very conscientious about returning the gesture on White Day, though he tries to be as "neutral" about it as possible (i.e. getting everyone the same generic gift en masse) so as to avoid the situations he got himself into last month! (coward)
Ayla: YAWN, Valentine's Day is just a capitalist holiday designed to sell candy and sugar!! She's not the biggest fan of sweets, so she's whatever about this holiday and White Day. You're definitely not going to catch her dead preparing or giving anyone stupid chocolates... What a waste of time!! So cringey!!
But she is curiously a bit more clingy towards her gal pals on this day and is like "can't we just go to dinner/have a sleepover, just us, and forget about all this? 😒"--leading to some to suspect that it all might make her feel a bit insecure, worrying that her precious friends are going to get into relationships or fall in love or receive admirer's chocolate and and leave her behind!!
Briony: THIS IS HER FAVORITE THING EVER, she's so excited about this holiday!!! She might be the only one in the entire group who would consider using Valentine's Day as a way of expressing her feelings or confessing her crush to the object of her affections by making them a special gift... it would look a good deal shabbier and more homemade than Shery or Tallys or Lavinet's offerings--she couldn't temper the chocolate to make it shiny, so it looks a bit dull and claggy--but the heart is definitely there!! Whether or not she actually has a crush on anyone, though, she's going to go all-out and make as many gifts for her friends and classmates to show her appreciation and love towards them as well! She'd be the classroom's little Valentine's Day fairy, floating around and trying to spread Valentine's cheer!
"Riel, aren't you going to wear a heart pin on your lapel, the class rep passed them out so we could celebrate--"
"No"
"But--"
"Purposefully make a hole in my blazer? Are you insane? The colors don't even match"
"But it's Valentine's Day! 🥺"
Lavinet: huhuhu, this holiday is her time to bask in the attention, because she inevitably gets a lot of gifts and chocolates from admirers every year! 😎 However, she'll only buy expensive, elegant chocolates for her friends (she won't make them herself) and then she'll wait and see what the object of her affection does on that day. She doesn't want to chase too hard or obviously!!! If the crush does something nice for her (even though Valentine's Day is traditionally when she should offer a gift), then she might whip out a very sleek, wrapped gift and carelessly say something like, "I saw this and thought of you! (AKA Don't read too much into it!)" But, of course, him being the only person to receive such a gift from her would be a sign in and of itself...
If he doesn't do anything worthy of her gift that day, she keeps it for herself and eats it without ever telling anyone it existed in the first place LOL
Halek: he probably skips school that day because he overslept and just decided the day was a lost cause, so he successfully dodges both Valentine's Day and White Day. 😂 If he doesn't, he makes the most badass, haute-couture, gastro-molecular confections and treats, is eager to show them off to as many of his friends and classmates as possible, then overthinks it because someone (Naolin) is like "Are you sure you want to give that to so-and-so, the level of attention and detail you put into that might give them the wrong idea of your intentions..." So then he ends up only giving it to, like, Trouble, who as the safest option is like "DUDE THIS IS SICK" and then scarfs it down without appreciating the artistry of it 😭😭 Meanwhile Chase is still like "do... do you have a crush on Trouble??" Red: "yeah there were gelee pearls on top of that handmade profiterole, he definitely does"

The final performance ended as all the preceding ones had: a single character, Meg Giry, kneels alone on the darkened stage. Lit by a spotlight, she holds the Phantom’s mask, gazing out in fear and wonder. The last person alone on the stage for the final performance of this legendary musical was Sara Esty (GHS ’04). 
Sara recalled, “That final moment in Broadway history was transcendent. How this fell to me, I will never know. But life led me there.”

I was wondering your thoughts on my misgivings with the reveal that AFO meddled in Tenko’s life from birth. I’ve been struggling to understand this direction for the story for a long time because it implicates AFO too much. He made Kotarou abuse Tenko, he made Nao give birth to Tenko, he goaded Tenko’s friends to play heroes with him, he put Tenko in the perfect spot to kill those thugs…at this point you can’t even blame anyone else but AFO for how Tenko turned out. I’m really bothered by this because it dampens the whole bystander effect of Tenko’s arc for me. The only way I can see this making sense is if AFO is somehow exaggerating or acting as an unreliable narrator somehow, but I’m not banking on that happening. Please can you help me? Is there some Japanese context I’m missing or something?
Okay well first of all I think you're thinking about this a little too black-and-white. AFO didn't *make* Kotarou abuse Tenko, he encouraged Kotarou's strict mentality indirectly. He certainly didn't MAKE Nao birth Tenko XD The whole point of that reveal was that he said he couldn't do anything too obvious, it all had to be subtle nudges. It was manipulation, but it wasn't coercion. Those characters still had some agency in what occurred, even though all people are influenced by others, they just didn't realize one of the people influencing them had ulterior, nefarious motives.
"at this point you can’t even blame anyone else but AFO for how Tenko turned out" see the thing about this is, Tenko himself BELIEVED he was born this way, not that anyone else was to blame for how he turned out. THAT'S the thing that just got turned on its head. AFO is saying "You weren't born this way, this is how *I* made you. This wasn't random chance at all. You don't have free will, you never made a choice to begin with. I just let you think that."
As far as Japanese context goes, the Japanese are much more communalistic. People have some pretty heavy social pressures. AFO used that social pressure dynamic to influence Tenko's family. There is this concept in Japan called giri which is a social obligation. What sort of giri you owe to others plays a big role in how you behave and whose advice you take and such. It's all predicated on the idea that everyone in this system has good intentions, and AFO as someone who has BAD intentions could exploit that system.
There's only so much we can take away from this right now. Tenko will surely show up with a new conclusion about all this once he's had time to contemplate this revelation. Or maybe Izuku will have an answer to AFO ("Tenko isn't you!") We just have to wait and see.

Good finale, good show! That was one hell of a final battle. I loved how by the end, Arajin and Senya's roles had almost reversed in their respective duo. (Conversely, Matakara and Ichiya's fundamental insecurities were close enough that they were able to merge permanently.)
I'm glad that Arajin and Matakara both end this series with a sense of what's really important. I won't lie and say this show was perfect, it has a couple issues to be sure, but overall I quite enjoyed it and I'm really happy with how neatly everything wraps up in this last episode. The story of life goes on, and we all must bucchi our giri in some way.

This is in regard to your comment on this post. I do have ideas for a Cats Phantom AU! Tho Platoria won't be the main pairing in that i don't think. It is an AU inspired by this picture i did a while back.
In it Alonzo would be the Phantom, Jemima would be Christine and Tumblebrutus would be Raoul. I don't normally ship TumblexJem or AlonzoxJem, but i know that when i write this i will most likely fall head over heels for these pairings! XD
I have also been considering Munkustrap in the role of the conductor? (I'm not 100% sure of the character's name and he only has a few lines but the role is PERFECT for Munk) I also have been thinking of Jellylorum as Madame Giry and Grizabella as Carlotta. Meg will be one of the other girl kittens, most likely Victoria at the moment. But it could also end up being Etcetera or Electra. There will probably also be an excess of fandom oc cameos in this and not just mine! ( @uppastthejelliclemoon the odds are quite high Hestia will make a cameo as a background ballerina in this, knowing me! I love to sneak your girl in things!) But these are a bit more up in the air at this point.
But that's as far as I've gotten with this. It is a very early stages AU. I haven't even completely figured out the full casting. I want to get my LOTR Cats AU a bit closer to being finished before i get into another big project tbh.
@storyweaverofgondor you remembered to ask, I forgot to reply 😂

🌹I have started a fan project of casting Pokémon in The Phantom of the Opera and will be sharing multiple artwork of such (this being page 1 and I may have gone a little overboard with the Hannibal costumes lol). Don't ask me why, I just simply felt inspired!🌹
Tumblr media
Casting Primarina as Carlotta Guidicelli was an obvious choice. She's literally a prima donna! And I felt making her shiny inflated her diva-ness even more 👍
Tumblr media
I needed a rounder Pokémon who can also sing for Ubaldo Piangi and Kricketune fit the bill! I've given each Pokémon a special extra feature as well to make them unique and fitting for their roles, so Kricketune got a beard! Huzzah!
Tumblr media
Although Meloetta's design was more vocaloid-based, she felt perfect for the role of Christine Daaé. I even gave her wavy hair!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kirlia as Meg Giry was an obvious choice for me since I decided Gardevoir was Madame Giry (for her stoicism and secretive air). I had fun with those curls!
Tumblr media
I considered making Giry's "hair" black, but decided to keep it natural. I did however give her slightly thicker eyeliner.
Tumblr media
Lucario has big love-interest protagonist energy, so he fit the role of Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny just right. This Little Lotte scene was fun to draw! (It's also on page 2 btw, so you'll see it again later)
Tumblr media
There were several runners-up to play the Phantom, most of which being dark or ghost type. But ultimately I casted Mewtwo for the role for his trickster and mysterious energy while also being a lonely outcast with a tragic background. (And he's og legendary 🙌) I enjoyed designing the Yamask-themed mask (one of the runners-up Pokémon for the role), and giving him a golden-lined cape.
Hope you enjoy! Would you cast any of these differently?

Wow 🤩 look at me getting back into doing writing requests with a rerun of an old blog event—
It’s that time of year again—the time to unabashedly celebrate love of all kinds!! Like chocolates, love can come in many forms and flavors, shapes and sizes. Now is the perfect opportunity to let them know how you feel~
For newcomers and those who may need a refresher, here’s an explanation of how this blog event will go:

❤️ This is NOT limited to just the core cast of 22 at NRC! You can also interact with their family members, the NRC staff, Grim, the Ramshackle Ghosts, RSA boys, Rollo, mob students, etc.
❤️ State what kind of intention is behind your gift (for example, giri/obligation, tomo/friendship, or honmei/romantic or confession). If you don’t indicate it, I will NOT default to honmei/romantic; I will default to tomo/friendship.
❤️ Please limit yourself to one character per ask submitted. If you want to give gifts to multiple characters, please send multiple asks.

Opening Night
cw: cursing, threats
other: dabi is pushy, dialogue heavy
chapter one of a birthday outing
Tumblr media
The clock was nearing  midnight as the infamous league of villains' members gathered outside of their leader's bedroom door. They silently counted down the seconds, then barged into the room with a loud "Happy Birthday, Boss!". The pale haired boy slowly turned his gaze from his computer screen to the group that had entered his room.
He spoke with a dismissive tone and waved them out. "Thanks. Now get out, I'm almost done with this game." To be honest he didn't even know it was his birthday, he stopped caring at a young age. Sure enough, he checked his phone and saw that it read April 4th, much to his dismay. He let out a small grunt as he tossed his phone down on his desk and went back to his game. 
"Once you're done here, make sure to come out." Dabi said before turning around and ushering the others out of the room, making sure to close the door behind him. The individuals sprawled out across the hideout and waited impatiently. Toga sat on a bar stool and swung her feet excitedly as she hummed to herself, Jin, of course, was sat next to her. Shuichi was rambling on and on to Atsuhiro about the new game that he bought for Tomura to play with him. Dabi scrolled through his phone as he swung his feet up on the coffee table, making sure to find the perfect venue for tonight. 
"Do you really think he'll go along with it?" Toga tilted her head slightly.
"Don't worry, I'm sure we can convince him." Jin cooed in response. 
Tomura was still sitting in his chair, credits rolling by on his screen. He let out a small sigh as he willed himself to stand up. He knew they had something planned and he absolutely dreaded it. He knew that whenever that group of miscreants came to a consensus without him, something bad was bound to happen. He contemplated just sitting back down and booting up another game, but he knew one of them would break down the door if he didn't emerge from his cave soon enough. He dragged his feet as he trudged through the hall to the common area where everyone was waiting.
"About damn time." 
Dabi rolled his eyes and took his feet off the table, as he shoved his phone in his pocket. "We're going out." 
Tomura shook his head, "And you're bothering me with this, why?"
"Because," He stood straight up. "We are going out." He emphasized the 'we' by waving his hand around the room, gesturing to his companions before it landed on Tomura's shoulder. 
"I don't want to. Plus if anyone sees us, it could be an issue, I don't want trouble tonight." He shook out of Dabi's grip.
"Oh come on, Tomura. We'll be good, we promise." Toga made her way over to him.
"I told you, I don't want to." He furrowed his brows, annoyance painted on his face.
"We never get to go out for funsies." She pouted as she tugged at his sleeve.
"Not taking 'no' or 'I don't want to' for valid answers. We're leaving now." Dabi waved over Kurogiri, who he somehow convinced to warp them over near the place.
"Giri, tell them it's a dumb idea." He prayed that he, of all people, would make some sense.
"Actually, Master Tomura, it would be best if you tried to enjoy your time out with your fellow members. Bonding is important for building trust within the team." 
Tomura scoffed, "So now you care how I spend my time. This is ridiculous." The black mist swirled around them as Kurogiri warped them to an alley nearby the location where Dabi had told him. 
"Please, do try to have some fun and enjoy your birthday." Kurogiri said before departing.
The air was warm and they could already hear the noise of people lined up on the street ahead. They made their way out of the alley and saw the line of patrons outside some nightclub, a bright "Opening Night" sign illuminating the otherwise dim street. There were two different entrances, one labeled vip and one presumably for everybody else. One line with dozens of rowdy groups of young people waiting to have the seemingly night of their lives and an empty side with just a bouncer and a clipboard of the waitlisted vips. 
At first they just stood at the end of the line, not long until the impatient leader started complaining. “This line is going to take forever. None of you dumbasses thought about getting a reservation or something."
"I thought you didn't want to even be here." Dabi teased, already enjoying how uncomfortable Tomura was. 
"I don't but I'd rather be sitting than standing around with all these people." He started to scratch at his neck, just thinking about being inside with all of them. 
"Well, good thing we don't have to wait then." A mischievous grin painted on his face as he stalked toward the vip bouncer, the rest of them followed in line behind him. Tomura can overhear the people in line questioning who they are and what they were doing, it took everything in him not to just dust them all. He defaulted back to scratching his neck to control himself. 
The bouncer took one look at them and knew something was off, hand already on his walkie, easy to radio in for help if needed. "Hello sir, can I see your id?"
"Don't have it." Dabi answered nonchalantly.
"Well if you and your friends aren't on the list, then you have to wait in line with the others."
Dabi leaned into the bouncer's face and spoke low. "Listen, it's my friend's birthday and you're gonna let us in."
"Back of the line, sir." The bouncer held his ground. He tried to wave them off, but to no avail.
A blue flash was emitted from Dabi's palm, not enough to draw attention, just enough to singe the edge of the bouncer's suit jacket. "It'd be a real shame if this place burned down on opening. night, don't you think?" Dabi raised a brow.
The bouncer knew that he couldn't take him, let alone with whatever the hell his friends behind him could do, so he defeatedly let them in. He pressed the button on his walkie to let his coworkers know the situation. "Letting unlisted vips in, just cater to them, for the club's safety. Trust me, they're not worth the hassle." 
Quickly they were seated at a table and a server came to greet them, "Whatever you need, just let me know, I'll be around." She gave a soft smile, although visible nervous, and walked away to tend to other tables. 
"See easy as that, no reservation needed." Dabi's cocky grin returned as he spoke to the group.
"Whatever." Tomura pulled out his phone to play the new mobile game that he had downloaded, Shuichi looked over at him and decided to follow suit.
