Poto Oc - Tumblr Posts
OOC!
Now I’ve made this blog, as usual I start with an OOC post for credit and boundaries etc
Profile Background is Pantone ‘Strawberry Cream’.
Profile Picture is a Picrew (https://picrew.me/en/image_maker/399481) which of course can be taken down by owner’s request.
This is an oc roleplay blog and I understand not everyone vibes with that, so if I interact (eg another roleplay blog) and you just don’t like it feel free to ignore me. I’d appreciate if you just dropped a quick message of clarification, but no pressure.
Asks are always open! Just be respectful, no extreme NSFW (I accept jokes but there’s a line) etc.
I take credit for my OC. she is kind of messed up (bc who’s oc isn’t) but content warnings will be issued if needed. Though I like to keep things light round here :D
Generally I hope we can have lots of fun together!!

OOC:
Roleplay blog for Phantom of the Opera OC, Francine Garnier (but this time with a moodboard) ran by @not-theangelofmusic-sorry. Normal regulations like no extreme NSFW or violence and zero tolerance for any form of hate (homophobia, racism, ageism, ableism, etc) in my comments, asks or reblogs of my posts. It’ll simply result in a report and a block, sorry. Askbox always open, but the creator uses UK timezones (usually from 8am to 8pm GBT) so I may be late to any asks. This blog is non selective!! I love interacting with everyone.
This blog does not promote asks about the ongoing war as it is rp only!! Please send them to my main. :)

Favourite member of the cast? And/or least favourite.
Well, I suppose I find most of the cast lovely, but Francine does particularly favour the little ballerinas. So cute! But they have a tendency to sometimes cling when they are frightened.
As for least favourite, I cannot say I enjoy the presence of the manager Monsieur Firmin. He irritates me.
(please don’t tell either of the managers I said that. also please don’t fire me)
Why don’t you and Christine just have a getting along shirt?
It’s basically a shirt with a big enough neckline to squish you both in it til you calm down.
..I oppose that idea greatly. @lovely-lotte most likely does as well.
I guess now that Monsieur Firmin is free, you can go read to him in his office. But don’t cause any more trouble, okay ? No pebble throwing, no hammering, no milkshaking, you get me.
And for the love of God, if you end up causing another disaster anyways, please don’t say "you never told me l couldn’t do that".

…You aren’t my parent.

Good morning! Does anyone have any ideas on..where one could hide a borrowed puppy where no ties are connected to them?
☆ 🌈🍓🦋💖 🎊 🪩 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. 😊💛
Rewatching Phantom at the moment, I thought this would be fun!
I hope you have a good day, whoever you are. ☺️💛

Question about Julien: what's his job in the Opera?
He's a painter(though he wants to perform)! He does all the scenic painting for the sets and props you'd see on stage! 😊
He tends to get carried away and help with everything or work much later than he's supposed to, to the expense of his sleep schedule. 👍

Thank you always for the asks! 👍
Silly questions about Julien and his mustache (because I love his mustache)
1) How did he come to own it? (Did he make it himself or perhaps buy it from somewhere?)
2) How on earth does he get it to stay in place?
3) Does he own more than one?
4) Has he ever experienced mustache mishaps? (Like it falling off in front of others, getting paint on it, ect.)
5) What are Erik's thoughts on the mustache, and does he know it's fake?
If you couldn't tell, it is one of my favorite parts of Julien's design, lol :)
1. He was allowed to keep it after a play he was in in his teen years!
2. Spirit gum! It's a sort of adhesive made to stick prosthetics onto an actor's face, and it holds up under stagelights. (It's so painful to get off without proper remover, though. Speaking from experience.)
3. No. He has kept this one in great condition, and it would be far too expensive to afford another!
4. It has had mishaps: he's not been able to find it before work and it sends him into a hectic, often tearful search every time, he's applied it crooked, or hasn't used enough spirit gum(which caused it to turn and slide), and I could imagine things like his fingers getting hung on it while he's trying to part it in the morning.
Thankfully, he got used to most of these in his teen years. He's practically a pro these days.
5. I don't think Erik finds out until late in their friendship... Julien is(obviously) very closed off about being a transman, not only due to his own insecurity, but the time period.
When he DOES tell Erik, or Erik finds out upon walking in on him... Well, you might imagine it calls for a conversation.
But, in the end, I think all is well(I mean, Erik makes a realistic mask/prosthetic so he can live a normal life in theory, so I think he'd understand).
Erik just wants to be loved, and wants to do the same.
Incredibly devoted.

GAH! THANK YOU ALWAYS FOR THE ASKS! 💛💛 I hope this helps(and I love the curiosity and questions!!)
I hope you have a good day. 😊
Hello!! For the OC ask game: 🦀🦋🐱🕊️
Hello friend!! Thank you for asking 😊💛 I am SO sorry for the wait 🥲
Very long ramble under the cut.
--
🦀 How did they handle realizing they were in love? - It took Julien a very long time to realize he was in love because he gets attatched quite easily(I don't know how exactly to describe it) he gets like... This overwhelming need/excitement to be somebody's friend(cough cough he may or may not get that from me)
BUT when he processes that he IS, in fact, in love, it causes him to panic. He tries so hard to act normal and move on, but it just sort of.. Sticks..? He begins to make Erik gifts and tries to play it off while simultaneously longing for him to notice. "I.. Made you this.. I just, I appreciate you being there and couldn't quite figure out how to say it."
🦋 How long does it take them to get out of the awkward relationship phase? ‐ I like to think it wouldn't take very long, because in the same regard of his nervousness, Julien is a very open and polite person who wants to be everyone's person to rely on.
I don't think Erik will ever really get used to asking for things. He'll probably always struggle with self-deprecation... So that'll be a thing to work out?
Maybe a week? Julien sort of treats this kind of thing as an extra loving friendship, and I think Erik would be more tentative about it.
🐱 Do they have any pet names for each other? How do they feel about them? -
Julien for Erik: Songbird, Muse-maker, Sweet Erik, Dear Erik, Dearest Erik, Sweetheart
How Erik feels: Mmmmm... I think he'd like everything but songbird? 🤷♂️😅 I haven't really dwelled on this thought.
Erik for Julien: Painter boy, Smiles, Mon cher, Darling, Darling boy, Love
How Julien feels: Gushy. He enjoys nicknames, and oftentimes, they make him laugh.
🕊 Domestic tidbits - Julien likes to sleep with his head on Erik's chest, but they spoon too(Julien is usually the big spoon)
Julien regularly wakes Erik up with kisses peppered around his face in the morning(Julien is terrible about sleeping right and often jolts awake throughout the night and into early morning), probably murmuring something along the lines of "You're a blessing." Before he gets up to get ready.
Erik puts a great deal of care into making sure Julien remembers to eat. He'll be waiting in Julien's room, propped up against his desk, "You've ignored your needs again. It's a wonder you're no deader than I."
The obligatory Erik singing to him/composing songs. I think that Julien would pay close attention so he could join in next time.
Julien tributing paintings to Erik.
Love letters, uhhh.. Just general reminders that they love each other just the way they are.
Erik making Julien more mustaches...?
Julien painting Erik masks.
Erik trying to spook Julien with his ventriloquism and 'failing' because Julien's fight or flight is freeze, and it takes everyone a very long time to notice this.

I hope this long ramble was worth it. 🥲😅💛
{☆} Hi!! 😑🌙🗣️ for the ask game if you'd like!! :)
Hi!! 💛😊 I'd always like, thank you!
Ramblings below the cut.
--
😑: How easily do they get jealous, and how do they handle it? ‐ Uhhh.. Julien gets jealous in the sense that someone could replace him if he isn't useful enough. I guess it's more stress(envy?) than anything, cause it's not like he wants to harm those people. He just wants to be able to fulfill the roles they have, too. He wants to be dependable and know that he's irreplaceable. He doesn't ever really bring this up to Erik(he doesn't want to discourage Erik from finally making friends), so he typically consoles himself and writes it off as an overreaction on his(own) part.
Erik is a bit more possessive(protective?) Not necessarily jealous? Julien is a very friendly and loving person, and those who don't know him well sometimes read it with skepticism. He worries for Julien's safety and tends to find excuses to drag him out of the public eye if he gets particularly stressed/jealous.
🌙: Who has to force the other into having healthy sleeping habits? How well does that go for em? - A bit of both. I think Erik is very persistent in having Julien to bed at a reasonable hour but neglects himself in the same area. It isn't till Julien outright refuses to go to bed till Erik joins him that they both get on schedule.
🗣️: Who’s the one that will ramble on about their highly specific interest while the other just sits back and nods along? - MMmMm... Erik is probably stuck on the latter end of Julien's late-night ramblings about whatever, typically plays and the ocean, and Julien is subject to Erik's musical frustrations(he doesn't mind). Julien's always struggled to pick up instruments, so it's very fascinating to him.

Thank you again 💛 I always have fun with these!
Guess who's finally getting the story written?
W.I.P with some art style experimentation.
Pssst @achildsfirstsorrow I did an attempt at sketching Leontine!
I hope you don't mind. 😅💛
My POTO OC, Soraya Salliston ☺️ She's a open minded opera chorus lady who never gets a promotion. She's just your adorable crackhead with killer outfits
edit: Yes her hair is based on Hamburg wigs. The more you know.
My OC, Soraya in the costumes of Christine Daaé: Act 1
I need to thank @operafantomet thousands times for providing all the amazing references and sources for costumes and background. I haven't got enough time to design my own variations of each costumes. So as of now, they are Frankensteined together like German Slavegirl bodice (with bra-like collar) and epic red Elissa skirt, 2000s west end mint/pink rooftop with Rococo flair German decorations.
Act 2 is coming soon, I haven't finished Aminta yet so 🙇
Some sketches of Kiera (first image) and Elliot (second image)! They're the children of Christine and Erik made up by me and @lovely-lotte.
Kiera's a little gremlin. Will chat your ears off when she's excited about a subject. Adventurous. Likes to pull harmless pranks on people and catch bugs. She adores animals. Wants to investigate everything. A daydreamer.
Elliot is quiet. Very shy. Only talks when he has to. Likes to play the piano. Withdraws to his room a lot because he likes the silence of a familiar place. Likes to wear his dad's things, like his cloak and ring. It makes him feel cool. He enjoys simple things and nature.
