Goodness, what is going on?
(All Phantom of the Opera Cats)
Apparently, 15 years (and two, three days) ago, Love Never Dies had its first run.
Have some snarky Ramin Phantom from Devil Take the Hindmost
And why not have the Ben Lewis version, too?
I honestly didn't have to add much chaos at all, it's... what happened
More POTO cats here, a rant about LND here and more LND cats here.
Fanart as penance. More to come π

Months go by and still nobody has given you an explanation for the higher-than-average number of customers seemingly dressed for the cabaret. Itβs almost becoming a hobby in itself for you, watching the comings and goings of the five masked men.
@purrlockswatsonΒ is to blame for this
@blackforrestpunk youβre not blameless either
I love you in every universe? No such luck for Joseph Buquet.
Moment of appreciation for the chibis.
Who is the silliest chibi? Most voted chibi gets a Treat.

*Slams this lil dude down on the table* Phandom, dinner time!
I found out that the Chinese Phandom calls the Phantom ι₯ζ‘Ά, "Rice Bucket," because it sounds like "phantom" (fΓ ntΗng... meh, close enough).
That isn't the best bit.
If someone is a rice bucket, it means they're good for nothing but holding rice inside them (i.e., eating). So it means "useless person."
Now, isn't that perfect for someone who cools his heels in a dank cellar and blackmails his way to massive wages?
More POTO nonsense here!
"You can take me hot to go!"
If I have adorableness, you get adorableness. If I get brainrot, well, so do you! Je suis dΓ©solΓ©e.
All phantom cat stuff here!
i had a dream last night that i was being serenaded by count orlok as a small fluffy cat and i woke up both confused and really amused
then i realized why i had such a dream: YOU (/positive)
In dreams they came!!
Aahh that's adorable, thank you for telling me this, it made me smile!!
All Phantom of the Opera cats here and Nosferatu stuff here!!
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 1.25Γ 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.
More POTO adaptation rambles here!
Have some more silly comics of Leroux Erik roasting his descendants while I storyboard a Phantom music video animatic.
@jennyfair7 your reblog of my WIP is on point, that's basically what happened πΉ
All PotO cat comics here
WIPs. I sure hope we never see any Phantoms other than a cat Phantom wearing duck swimming trunks because, oh boy, is that cursed!
None-cursed (or at least less cursed) cat phantoms here!
At social events, check bushes for Cheriks in the wild.
My computer makes concerning noises when I try to turn it on, so I can't use my scanner or Photoshop. We'll have to live with my mistakes and Erik-esque writing for the time being. Click pictures for better quality, it looks lousy from here.
More Phantom stuff here and on my other blog
The Phantoms meet Love Never Dies Phantom. They are Unamused. I refuse to accept that this Phiasco Phantom is the same entity as the Phantom from the original musical.
I said I'll be pretending LND doesn't exist for the rest of my life. I lied. I watched it yesterday. Lying is bad.
All my Phantom cats here!
In which Leroux Erik meets his descendants. He is not impressed.
I started this before I read Kay's Phantom (yes, it took me that long to finish), so sadly, that kooky Erik is not present. He'd probably murder all the other Eriks.

Who would win, the Skeleton Man or his own stage/screen adaptation?
Original comic with Christine here and Void Face Erik here.
Thank you, Marsh, for your wonderful art of Sarah!
Somehow, these long minutes make me depressed instead of impressed because usually when I put my headphones on, it means something is feeling too much.
The rest of my top songs list has no significance because I'm stuck on free shuffle mode, but Fortnight I did play on repeat. It's the song I sing to myself when I'm panicking.
Of course my comfort song contains lyrics about murder.
Very proud that Webber made the list. After all, I only recently became Phantom-obsessed.
