When Am I Not Doodling? Goodness.

When am I not doodling? Goodness.

I was listening to music and got inspired.

Writing under the cut!

The hallways are dimly lit and empty compared to the hustle and bustle they were filled with this morning.

Julien finds himself admiring the ornate walls of the Opera for a second time as he returns to his daft little room, a plain one with a number 4 plated on its door, he settles and hangs his coat on the chair.

Nothing rang as peculiar, rather, it felt all too the same; down to the way the lantern set the room dimly aglow.

He takes a calming pace around the room, flipping through his papers and eventually sitting down on the bed to think.

Julien's mind was plagued by the peculiar interaction this afternoon; he planned to write about the mysterious voice later, perhaps before he slept.

He turns his head to the side, A NOTE!

The note was small and slender, folded into a neat little square.

It read: HELLO AGAIN.

I HEARD FROM A FRIEND THAT YOU WORKED THE ENTIRE DAY.

PERHAPS YOU HAVE GONE HUNGRY, AS YOU HAD NOT EATEN YET? THAT WOULD BE QUITE THE UNFORTUNATE END.

I HOPE THIS NOTE FINDS YOU WELL-FED AND IN GOOD HEALTH.

-O.G.

The note drew attention to the ache in his stomach that hadn't otherwise made itself known and mixed it with butterflies.

He slipped his coat back on, sneaking off into the Opera's halls at the dead of night...

😅It's been a hot minute since I've written something, I pray it was bearable.

(Edited as I proofread)

I hope you had a good day, whoever you are. ☺️💛

for the ask game, 11 and 15 :]

11- We're going to ignore the crummy make‐up of the drawing.. I rushed it.

Julien's clothes fit the model of the time(shape, style), but are described as "unbecomingly colorful" or "eccentric", he is known for his crooked ascot and bright purple coat(Which is stained all over with paints). oh! AND his fake mustache(These existed at the time, but were typically associated with crime)

He always wears boots opposed to dress shoes because he finds them more comfortable.

15- Weeeell, I don't think this could ever fit into canon(as I couldn't see this happening during the Christine debacle), and Erik technically dies of heartbreak after she leaves..

buuuuut!

In my canon, I like to think Erik went through the stages of grief for a second time?

There is a period of peace in the Opera, then he wreaks havoc upon everyone.. There is a stage where he is soothed only by the thought of Christine and the company of Daroga.. So on and so forth over the course of a year, till the rumors die down and the crowd lessens(or alternatively, the worry is too much and only the Opera's loyal clientele continues to show).

This is around the time Julien is hired.

Julien serves as both a supporting character and a love interest..

So, I guess he allows the story to continue? He and Erik get the normal life/happy ending he spoke of with the daroga(no realistic mask required)..! 💛

I hope this was coherent enough. It's fairly late, and I did not proofread!

THANK YOU THANK YOU ALWAYS FOR THE ASKS!! 💛💛 GAH! These make me so happy.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE ARTISTS DREW MY SILLY OL' OC. 💛

Pssssst @buccaneeering

A humble offering...

before I inked and colored it ⬇️

Let's all collectively agree to ignore the fact that one eye is bigger than the other 👍

Tried to draw like Erik.

I was really, deeply torn on this.. I couldn’t decide whether his art would be crude, like how his handwriting is described or if it's something he's more familiar with..

Cause I feel like it could be either. Maybe it's both, or Julien teaches him, and he slowly picks up art. 👍

As always, this is extremely self-indulgent.(Can you tell I do NOT practice realism like I should? Julien uses a fake mustache, by the way.)

I hope you have a good day, whoever you are. ☺️

I've been trying to keep up with the influx of boops and might’ve gotten carried away. 🥲

I hope you all are having a fantastic april fools!

You have been might busy booping

Who.. Me?? Whaaat??

I hope you don't mind 💛 Just let me know!

How are you?

LOOK AT THE CRAFTSMANSHIP OH MY GOODNESS! I'm so happy for you!! 💛☺️💛💛
