#phantom headcanons

But I also need silly Phantom.

I need hyper Phantom who settles down immediately with head pets and the promise of ice cream.

I need whiny needy Phantom who gets spoiled by everyone but he's still a sweetheart about it.

I need bug-and-bat-obsessed Phantom.

these are based on Lon chaneys phantom specifically !

I would like to preface that I do ship the phantom with Christine so if that triggers you im sorry, and my views may not match everyone elses.

also this is for @zombinafonfrankenstein who asked if i had any headcanons on Erik I hope u enjoy : D

feels insecure about his balding, he likes to wear hats whenever possibly. he has a stolen collection of trilby/fedora/and top hats.

grows out his nails, if punching wont work I'm sure he'll scratch out someone's eyes lol. also it'd be cute if Christine paints them for him, I know he'll only choose black though to match his aesthetic.

Other than playing the organ I think he would enjoy other instruments as well, the violin being his second favorite.

and speaking of instruments He would definitely modify his organ painting the keys blood red and wood black, tuning it to his liking every so often. shining and cleaning it every week.

files his teeth, his little fangs are something that kind of happened over time, getting bigger and bigger, so he files them sharper.

does NOT sleep, this man is a workaholic. once he finds some type of rhythm in his head he will not sleep till he figures out the entire melody.

if there was ever a crossover with any other of the monsters I think he'd love to hang out with either dr.Jeckyll/Mr. Hyde Dracula or the Invisible Man.

master of chess, don't even try to win this man will rig the game if he has to so you can never win, and if you ever do LET ME TELL YOU this man is a sore loser, he will cry then throw the board across the room then scream how you must have cheated then cry once more. just let him win every time lol

i feel like the acid burns have a long lasting scent? like he forever smells like burnt toast or something and expensive perfume he stole.

(since I'm autistic I am gonna kinda self indulge a little here) I think he is autistic as well, yes he has alot of bad qualities and I know someone in the comments is gonna say thats bad representation, I dont care. not all autistic people are heavenly little silly people some of us are assholes. and Erik is definitely one. if anyone would like more examples on autistic headcanons I can do that in a separate post if you all want!

okay bye!

The rustling sounds coming from the organ room abruptly ceased, the house plunged into quiet. She frowned, rising from her vanity and padding barefoot from her room into the hall.

“Erik?”

She stood in the frame of the music room and watched him there, ramrod straight at the piano bench.

She took a step forward before his velvety whisper stopped her.

“Do you mean it?”

She sighed, taking another step toward him.

“No, darling, of course not — I’m not really cross, I was only kidding. Though, I do need to leave soon if I’m to meet Meg on time —“

“That’s not….” His head turned to the right a fraction so she could see the smear of pink along the white porcelain. She wondered if it mirrored a similar blush beneath.

She waited for him to continue while crossing the final steps to reach him. She laid her hands atop his shoulders, squeezing with gentle encouragement.

“Why did you call me that?”

She let out a soft “oh”, hands squeezing slightly tighter.

“When my father was cross with me he’d call me by my full name. I’d hide away somewhere in the house and he’d bellow: ‘Christine Elizabeth Daaé, you come in here and practice your violin at once!’” She giggled at the memory, eyes quietly watering.

“Since you don’t have a middle or surname I thought I’d give you mine. I only meant to tease you, angel, I’m sorry if I’ve upset you.”

He was silent for a long moment, hands clasped tightly in his lap. He took a deep breath, his torso rising beneath her fingers.

“I’ve never lamented the lack of a given name. I chose Erik long ago, as a way to cling to the last vestiges of my humanity. But the sentimentality is lost to me. Or was — until very recently.”

He slowly spun on the bench until he was facing her, keeping his gaze resolutely on the boning of her corset. Her hands slid upwards to caress his jaw, buoying him.

“Does it not torment you, as it does me, that we can never be truly married? No grand cathedral overflowing with flowers, no exchanging of rings, no final kiss to seal our bond…and no name for me to offer you.”

“Oh, my love —“ she knelt down before him, angling his face upwards to meet her watery gaze.

“I don’t need all that. I don’t need the recognition of the rest of the world. I don’t mourn a life I never wanted.”

His eyes were wet, too, and she brought a hand up to swipe underneath the left one. His eyelashes fluttered against her skin like moth’s wings in the dark.

“You bring me flowers. I wear your ring, I am gifted your sweet kisses. I don’t need a name to bind me to you. I am already bound — willingly, giddily, eternally. Additionally, as I have a name to give, I give it to you freely. Maestro Daaé — I quite like that, don’t you?”

His eyes squeezed shut, frame trembling. He reached out to her and she enfolded herself around him. He tucked his face beneath her chin, lips wet with tears whispering against her skin.

His love languages are physical touch and gift giving <3 He does things like forehead kisses, knuckle kisses, subtle hand holding, tight hugs, cheek caressing, and waist holding!! And he loves to buy gifts like flowers, jewellery, books, and takes his lover out to expensive restaurants, or wherever else they wish to go <3

@icecream-iduna, another friend, and I were messing around with the idea of a 1920’s phantom of the opera AU and I had to do some concept art 😁

These are just sketches so I might do some actual art for it sometime later 🤷🏼‍♀️ I haven’t decided yet 😂
