Erik When Christine:

Erik when Christine:

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

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. ☺️💛

Rewatching Phantom at the moment, I thought this would be fun!

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

ask game: self insert lore

because i love developing my self inserts and their role within canon i figured there should be an ask game for it!

1. what are the basics of your self insert? name, date of birth, height, etc.?

2. when in canon does your self insert come in? do you have a scene in mind for your entrance?

3. how do the other characters generally feel about your self insert?

4. would you be considered a main character, side character, villain, or something else?

5. does your self insert have any special powers or abilities?

6. does your self insert have any pets?

7. would any other characters (besides your f/o) have a crush on your self insert?

8. what is your self insert’s orientation?

9. who are your self insert’s closest friends?

10. how do the other characters feel about your self insert and f/o’s relationship?

11. what kind of outfit(s) does your self insert wear?

12. how would the fandom view your character?

13. does your self insert have any information about their family?

14. what hobbies does your self insert have?

15. how does your self insert play a role in the plot of the story? do they help directly defeat the villain, support the heroes, etc.?

16. freebie! name a fact about your self insert you want everyone to know.

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!

☆ 1, 3, 8 and 10 for the ask game you just put up, lol :)

GAH! Yay!! 🥹🥹💛

1: Julien Alcantara, 12/04/1859, he is 23, uhh He's about 5'4, 5'5, his dad is a carpenter, and his mother is a seamstress.. Uhh.. He got into acting cause of a stageplay he was a part of in grade school.(Not all this information necessarily aligns with me)

3: He's taken on a sort of older brother figure to the corps de ballet. They'll hide behind him when they get spooked, poke playful fun at him.. But other than that, it really varies group to group. Most have a neutral to positive view, with a few outliers. He's liked among coworkers, you know?

8: He is a transman and sooommeewhere on the ace spectrum(?) But he's not open about either, many terms didn't exist at this time, and acceptance was often the latter of hit or miss.

10: It's not out in the open, so it's up for others to speculate.

💛☺️🥹Thank you always for the questions!(I hope this covers everything.)

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!
