1990 Phantom - Tumblr Posts

If you see posts appearing and disappearing from my blog, it's my indecisiveness afoot.

What if I hurt one character's feelings when I post about another?

Featuring a doodled Leroux Erik.

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

Would it be silly of me to make a comic? Would anyone be interested?

Obligatory rushed photo and blurry image.

Made some slight changes to an old piece, put it in the book I keep for these.. I'll probably go back and add more to it, currently working on the page beside it! Which I think will focus more on writing..

Anywho, I hope you have a good day, whoever you are. 😊

☆ 🌈🍓🦋💖 🎊 🪩 for the game!! {Sorry for the six emojis I got excited 😅}

Whaaat???? No! There is no need to apologize! This'll be fun!(Sorry for the long ramble you're about to witness!)

🌈 I think that Erik could fall in love with anyone. When he loves someone, he loves them deeply(and a bit obsessively.. Uh.. Yikes..) He just wants to be loved back. I could see him having a slight preference for women, just cause of the time, but, you know, it's not as if he's been perfectly socialized.

🍓Oh snap.. I don't really know trope names.

Probably love at first sight(sound?), at least on Julien's end.

Secret admirer? Is that a trope?

That's my best answer as of this very moment. 👍

🦋Okay! Cool! A bit of background context, Julien is an actor and was trying to land a performing job at the Opera, but his voice didn't meet the requirements.. And he was instead hired as technical help(He brought a resume).

He becomes the opera's newest painter!

Technically, their first interaction was a note left by Erik?

Something along the lines of:

I SEE THEY HAVE HIRED A NEW PAINTER... IF I MAY OFFER ANY ADVICE, DON'T POKE FUN AT CARLOTTA, IT IS WHAT HAD YOUR PREDECESSOR THROWN FROM THIS VERY ROOM.

THE REST MAY WAIT TILL YOU HAVE MADE YOURSELF PROPERLY ACQUAINTED AT OUR FINE OPERA HOUSE.

DON'T GO STICKING YOUR NOSE WHERE IT DOESN'T BELONG, AND YOU'LL BE FINE.

-O.G.

However, the first time they speak is when Julien goes to fetch some paint and brushes, and a voice speaks to him. He can't figure out where it's coming from, but he finds himself lost in its sound almost immediately.

💖 Julien's favorites for Erik are "Sweet Erik" or "Dear Erik", his favorite to be called are "Mon cher", and "Cherie"

Julien starts his letters with "Always Dearest Erik,"

🎊Mmm... Probably Erik? Julien is not very good at remembering dates. I think he'd keep a journal of them, just to be sure he'd have a gift for Erik or a date planned or something!

I think Erik would go all out for that kind of thing, composed songs, the whole day reserved, a night with the stars!

🪩Elevators were fairly new at this time, and I'm pretty sure they were a wealth thing.. So Julien would be very nervous. Probably would have never been on one. Squeezing Erik's hand for dear life.

I could picture Erik being excited to be the 'knight in shining armor' in this situation!

💛

This was SOSO fun! Thank you so much!

Praying that my characterization seemed right!

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

Page of doodles.

Sort of made a combo Erik..? 💛

Obligatory poor quality, two Juliens, a meg, a (mediocre)Christine.. A mutual!

This was just for fun! 👍

I hope you've had a good day, whoever you are. 😊

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

☆ Currently drawing Erik so that hopefully I can have a plush of him bc I need a plush of my Phantom specifically <3

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 did a redraw. This one was made with the info from the ask game!

I always wonder if my posts make you sad. 🥲

Also, confession. My headvoice ALWAYS, WITHOUT FAIL, pronounces your user 'mandom' cringe.

I don't. Know. Why.

Erik when Christine:

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

I suggest 1990 Erik and the deer cause who doesn't love Dave 🦌

It only took a million years.

Thank you, friend! 💛

Sorry for the obligatory poor quality.
