Have a safe, fun New Year's Eve,and may this new year be one of many blessings and all things good for you and your loved ones!!!
Oh my, thank you for asking! Questions are from this ask game. Lots of good ones here!
2. How easy is it to make them laugh? Pierce and Cleopatra are a pair of clowns at a funeral. They laugh easily, joke weirdly, and fill my carefully crafted gothic atmosphere with too much comedy. Sarah laughs at people's misfortune. Especially when it's Pierce.
4. How easy is it to earn their trust? Pierce trusts on instinct; luckily, it usually works, and he has a gaurd dog (Sarah). Cleopatra holds people at arms length, but she's so outwardly sweet that it's hard to tell. Earning Sarah's trust would take a lifetime, and you'd probably be wasting your time.
5. How easy is it to earn their mistrust? You'd have to do something really horrible to Pierce's Undead heart to earn his mistrust. Cleopatra, fairly easily, but she gives second chances. You have Sarah's mistrust by default.
8. What are they told to stop doing as a child? Little Pierce brought home creatures and friends that he begged to keep but were probably no good for him. When he was older, he had to be told to stop squandering the family fortune. Little Cleopatra had to be removed from her room to be introduced to human company. Little Sarah bit people, swore a lot and terrorised her governesses.
13. Oh, this is a good one! The trio dress according to the three Gothic colours, red white and black. Pierce wears white and pale colours, signifying his role as the 'innocent.' Cleopatra wears red, vitality and passion. Sarah dresses in black, Doom and Gloom and severity.
15. How do they speak? Pierce is equally fluent in eloquent flirting, undignified emotional monologues and spontanious yapping. Cleopatra changes her style according to who she's talking to and what she thinks they expect of her. Sarah has two gears: swearing and death-threats or cold politeness with discreet sarcasm.
17. Are they easily embarrassed? Pierce gets flustered when he meets someone as good at innuendo as him. Cleopatra used to be self-conscious, but not anymore. Sarah is proud, she reacts badly to being demeaned.
20. How would they explain the difference between familial, platonic, and romantic love?Pierce would say platonic and romantic loves are chosen, but familial love isn't, and the difference between platonic love and romantic love is that with romantic love, there's the desire to become part of that person and have a part of them inside you (metaphorically... I think he knows how that sounds). Cleopatra would say the difference is the places they hold in your life and that many kinds of love can't be pinned down. Sarah believes any kind of love is an obligation.
27. What causes them to feel dread? Pierce: when people fall out of love with him. Cleopatra: the sense of being worthless, helpless or purposeless. Sarah: she'd be the last to say so, but she has a fear for anything that cause her physical or emotional harm.
30. Who do they most regret meeting? Pierce can't really wrap his little brain around regret, but he does have many of them. Deep down, he regrets meeting the vampire who made him a vampire. Sarah and Cleopatra both regret meeting Pierce at some point.
A. Are you excited about your oc(s)? Yes. I write about them every day. They don't always give me an easy time, but I love it.
B. What inspired you to create them? Pierce was originally just a happy vampire, but then I started basing him on Dorian Gray, and then I realised that he has a lot of me in him. Cleopatra has a lot of my own traits. Sarah was based on the actress Sarah Bernhardt in the beginning, but now she's a completely different character and only her name, appearances and sass are the same.
D. Have their physical appearance changed? Pierce was once tall. It gave me a shock to read my description of his tallness in earlier drafts. Sarah's dress and hair changed when I changed her backstory. Cleopatra is unchanged, except that I decided that her hair isn't naturally ginger.
If you've come so far, thank you for reading all this! And I wish you and your family a happy New Year as well, all the best with everything!

Bad day all round for Scrooges, gooses, and aspiring singers/caterwaulers. (My day 2 card!)

Show me your's!
Cleopatra (middle) makes her vampire partner Pierce (right) and his ex Alexander (left) watch Phantom of the Opera (1990).
To clarify, Pierce likes rats. In a completely normal way.

How's the writing going, you say?
I was typing out my novel on my phone, looked up, and saw this. To clarify, I meant satin-LINED cavity, describing a casket.
Well, I hit my head on a toilet water tank today, so I can't expect myself to act rationally.
The story is about a vampire opera house. I played with the idea of adding Erik into it, but I didn't expect him to pop up out of nowhere to give one of my characters a house tour.
I think he wants to kill the vampires now, and I don't know what to do. How little control I actually have over my writing never fails to surprise me.

Guilty as charged, your honour.
(I'm already swamped in unfinished sketches, so I got to ask: How much, exactly, do you people want to see Kitty Cherik powdering his fluffy snoot?)
About Mr Pierce
I don't like OC bio templates, so I tackled this with my best work attitude: sarcasm and chaos.
Pierce is from my novel, Gothic Tales from Melancholia.
ARGH.
Original posts: Nosferatu here and Lescat here.
Thank all of you who pressed the little funny buttons!
Red death.
I was recently informed by @blackghostm2o that we never got to see Cherik at a masquerade. This is my humble attempt to rectify that, since we all know that Cherik is the best dressed Phantom. The fashion historian Bernadette Banner has made a Red Death gown with the boning exposed to give it a skeletal look, so I borrowed the idea and incorporated a boned corset.
Pt 4. of Last Night at Vena Cava
Have a sketch of Victor. He features heavily in this new chapter:
https://archiveofourown.org/works/63019435/chapters/162232942
A loud thud came from the forbidden attic, followed by the ear-splitting clanging of silverware falling to the ground. Someone was singing, a fine contralto voice delivering a musical stream of abuses aimed at bread pudding.
Also in this chapter: the mad wife in the attic.
As usual, please do leave feedback if you have any, I would appreciate it greatly!
Love Never Dies, we have beef!
This was... painful. But I think I can ramble without roasting. As always, if you're a fan, don't read, because I'm still serving beef!
I first watched it, I was so bored I had to play it on 1.25× speed. Nothing seemed to be happening even as every new thing wrecked my faith in the creators' intelligence a little more.
"The Beauty Underneath" had unbelievable visuals. People in fish tanks horrify me. In a good way. But when the Phantom decided to yeet his mask like that, I wanted to reach through the screen and shake him. Mate, the kid doesn't hate you. He just got randomly jumpscared. Of course he ran away.
I loved Ramin's sassy Phantom in "Devil Takes the Hindmost," but the premise of the song is so bad it deserves a whole roast post.
All this could be a problem of my personal taste in music and storytelling. But I can't forgive how thoroughly they destroyed Phantom's character. In Ramin's version, Mme Giry was roasting him to his face, and he didn't pull out the lasso? Met Raoul drunk in an empty bar and didn't drop him off a pier and make it look like an accident?
Look, we all love "poor unhappy Erik," but Phantom does not have a heart of gold. No, he's not a monster, but he's not a hero either.
Call me doomy and gloomy, but I don't believe that Phantom would give a hoot if Meg died. He definitely wouldn't show the compassion and repentance he did in that final scene.
The worst thing a PoTO story can do is to make it all about his appearance, which I feel LND did. The greatest reasons Phantom is doomed by the narrative is:
1. Society alienates him for his appearance.
2. How he acts because of his self-hatred, fueled by his alienation from society.
When the narrative puts too much weight on one or the other, it loses direction.

Wrong answers only: What's Erik saying to the Persian?
I found this among my Pharoga doodles (don't ask; they'll come up to menace you soon enough). I've clean forgotten what I was going to caption it. It looks like ✨️drama✨️.
So, wrong answers only: what's going on?
(More Persian and gremlin bald cat Erik here and here.)
