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 👍

You have been might busy booping

Who.. Me?? Whaaat??

... Never.. 😅

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

How are you?

2, 6 and 9 for the ask game! :D

2- Julien comes in about a year post-canon!

I picture the story would open to him at the doors of the Opera, speaking with Firmin for the first time and being led to the room he'll be staying in, but I don't have anything written for it at the moment!

6-No pets, but he befriends stray cats and dogs!(Notably a black cat that he's named "Charbons", a bloodhound he's named "Scout" and a retriever puppy he named "Elodie")

9-As aforementioned, he takes on a sort of brotherly role to the corps de ballet.. Julien is on good terms with most people but isn't particularly 'close' to anyone? He likes to be there for others but has trouble letting others be there for him. It doesn't help that it takes so long for everyone to warm up to him. He comes off as overzealous, and, you know, he's way poor compared to his peers and colleagues.

He obviously gets very attatched to Erik, but I'd also say he's very close to Meg, Little Jammes, aaaand the daroga(?).

He's very chipper towards Firmin in spite of the negative view of his management.

I picture he and Christine would be good acquaintances if they ever met..

THANK YOU ALWAYS FOR THE ASKS 😊💛

I didn't proofread.. So, I hope everything's a-okay! 👍

These make my day every time!

For the ask game how about 14 & 16? :3

GAH! Yay!!(At this rate we'll have all the questions asked and answered!)

14- Julien likes to paint and sketch in his free time(like someone else I know...), he is an avid writer(poems or otherwise) and reader, he likes to sew. Really, most things crafty. He loves to explore and learn about history/architecture.

He'd probably like to people watch.

He enjoys music and would love to save up enough for voice lessons or to be taught how to play an instrument(guitar, piano?), but that's a future far ahead of him.. Uhh.. I could see him being interested in english-style horseback riding!

16- I don't have one at the moment(I'll come back to this later, PROMISE. I'll tag you when I do)

@dialup-dragon

Julien has an impeccable sense of balance but no spatial awareness.

Legs are always bruised. 🥲👍 Me too!

THANK YOU ALWAYS FOR THE ASKS! 💛💛

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. ☺️💛

I can't unsee it.
