Hey Everyone! We're Doing Another Poll Because, Guess What? Im Finally Making That Ask Blog!

Hey everyone! We're doing another poll because, guess what? I’m finally making that ask blog!

Before diving in, I need to settle on some designs. Since ask blogs are a collaborative effort, I wanted to get your input.

You'll notice numbers next to the design options. Here’s what they mean:

1. Full-body sketchy designs. You’ll vote on the final look.

2. Design elements. Instead of voting on the entire character, you’ll choose specific pieces, like Erik’s mask, hair, and suit.

Pretty random, but I’ve always been jealous of those people who have fanfiction written about their art. Then I realize I never draw anything except doodles so it’s probably my fault lololololol.

I like how she’s looking towards him but he’s looking away.

My friend @partymeow definitely ordered the lesbian special.

I love these thank you!!

I saw someone make a headcannon post, so why not?

Erik:

• he knows pressure points, human weaknesses, etc. basically my excuse to say Erik would know how to disarm Meg in LND because what was that.

• good at everything to an infuriating level. (Everything psychological not so much)

• has an arsenal of dad jokes he uses in increasingly insensitive ways.

• has some weird thing about size. Type of guy to call you “small” as a flirtatious move…

• easily hurt, both physically and emotionally, but refuses to take a break or admit it. Unless Christine is concerned, then he’ll do nothing but wail about it for attention.

• his hands are both cold and smelly, take that translation truthers!

• if he were an ordinary man, he’d still be a complete snob.

• when he’s going crazy he vents his emotions out on a Carlotta-esque toad puppet. There is a tiny wooden stick he beats it with.

Christine:

• would love Fiona Apple.

• her love language is tolerating you.

• people call her “nice” because they rarely speak to her at all. Not that she isn’t, but I’ve always thought she was a bit asocial.

• extremely empathetic to animals. She can’t even kill a spider. (Ahem)

• dislikes being touched.

• moved around with her father a lot, so she has some pretty severe attachment issues. She had good reasons to leave Erik, but Raoul(while he can be a jerk) takes the brunt of her poor coping mechanisms.

• In another life, had Erik not been so pushy and murder-y, they would’ve been very very close.

• Asexual. Yeah. Take that.

• Or she at least would dislike the very potent closeness and intimacy the devils tango brings. In other words sex repulsed.

• After the book, I imagine she took a small break from opera. She'd spent so much of her life doing things for others, and now it was time to do something for herself. Maybe she started singing what she wanted to sing, or maybe she pursued something entirely different. My idea: she began writing stories. After all, her connection to them had always been strong.

• a private woman, thus why she didn’t speak with leroux.

Raoul:

• can be an asshole, but more willing to admit it that others. I choose to interpret the fact that he so readily admitted how cruel he was(to a man who would publish this no less!) as an admission of guilt.

• would never take away music from her.

• a bit pudgy, but has some real muscle beneath it. He can’t be a twink doing sailor work I don’t think. (That rhymed!)

• hates Erik for taking his brother from him. He has a hard time watching Christine mourn Erik because of it.

Daroga:

• becomes Christine’s friend after the plot of the book. How, you ask? Beats me.

• I don’t have many headcannons about him I’m so sorry. Please, pitch your own id love to see em! He’s such an interesting character I feel so bad!

Power-scaling phantom of the opera

(Because I’ve gone insane)

First off, it’s too difficult to analyze the power levels and put them on a list. Instead, I’m going to put them on a smash bracket.

Fight one:

Spooks Erik VS Bootleg Erik

This might be incorrect, but from my viewing of spooks I swear Erik killed his Christine(Christine takes off his mask, and he chokes her. She never reappears after that scene).Which makes him possibly the first Erik to KILL his Christine. And, bootleg Erik sits at a solid zero kills if memory serves. So…

Spooks Erik wins!

Fight Two:

Winslow VS Susan Kay Erik

The fairness of this fight ultimately depends on which age Susan Kay Erik is. I doubt baby Erik would win, young adult Erik perhaps, but old man Erik is on his death bed. So to give K!Erik some leeway (and because adult erik is basically leroux with a heart problem) we’ll assume it’s a more youthful Erik. Meanwhile, Winslow is technically indestructible. Winslow has a solid, if not a little impractical, head on his shoulders. The real question is would he kill K!Erik before he finds out the limits of his contract. The answer? It’s a coin toss in my mind. Yes a literal coin toss.

Winslow is heads.

I guess Winslow wins! Gg K!erik, never did like your ending anyway.

Fight Three:

Hammer horror Erik VS Gerik

Automatic win for Hammer Horror Erik(I haven’t even seen the Hammer Horror Erik). Gerik can’t even choke someone and loses a sword fight to a twink.

Hammer horror Erik wins!

Fight Four:

Chaney VS Cherik

What are the odds that in a random bracket the two guys who die by mob fight eachother? Since there’s not much to go off out of livability, I’m going to scale them by kill count. As far as I know, all of Cherik’s kills are accidental, not to say he’s innocent, just that at one point he does does play peekaboo with a dead body (poor Carlotta). Meaning that Cherik is not above using violence to get what he wants. I think some people over estimate his innocence(he is kinder in the grand scheme of Eriks). Love you Lon Chaney Erik, but you absolutely fumbled your death. At least Cherik went out with a little dignity, bro threw a fake grenade and said “that’s all folks!” 

Cherik wins!

I just realized I hit the image cap so there’s gonna have to be many many parts 

Anyway! Discuss amongst yourselves while I make the next part. That is supposing somebody wants this except for me, but I would love to argue with somebody about who would lose/win because my memory is so foggy.
