#phantom phase

Value yapping above all, your greatest art

Have an…attentiveness to your bestie you do a terrible job at hiding

Advocate for said…friend…because she may be hearing things but she has CHORDS. Also be prepped to fight the leading soprano for 19 seasons for her

At the drop of a hat: “HE’S HERE! THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA.” You live for the drama, despite your mother trying to keep you on the fringes.

Notice that your bestie isn’t doing too hot, why isn’t her fiancé noticing? Well you notice. You care.

Despite your mother being the scariest woman at your JOB, neither can interrupt your need to yap

Dress in a fun little suit at the masquerade

Invade the operas underground catacombs despite your mothers protests and find a mysterious mask

None to mention she shows grit, passion, and unapologetic raucousness, even to her detriment. One of my favourite moments is when, as an unwilling participant in the Phantoms wedding scheme yells:

“Have you gorged yourself, at last, in your lust for blood?”

Particularly in the 25th Anniversary edition, Christine is disgusted with him, angry and indignant despite being physically outmatched. She has prowess and courage, something that combined with her kindness is her key to escape.
