Haitus Is Over! It's Been Over For A While, But Every Time I Try To Say So, Some Accident Occurs.

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.

More POTO adaptation rambles here!

*sneaks in* Pssst, a-are you still interested in drawing prompts for that game?

If so,may I request any Erik of your choice, as well as little kid Pierce for 11?

Alternatively an OC of your choice for 15

Anyways,I hope you are well!!! Sending you good vibes and much love and admiration always!!!🥰💖💖💖💖

(No worries if you don't get to,or don't want to do this ask btw.)

I love your silly goober kitties so much💖💖💖💖

Hi, thank you for the ask and kind words! 💖💖

Prompt 11, OC at age 5. Here's Pierce at ages 5, 15, and 25:

Kiddie Pierce (though Pierce was not his name back then) had a nice, spoiled childhood, he only looks like that because they wouldn't let him hold his favourite rat while posing for his portrait - children often had long hair in his time, like this painting of Winston Churchill.

In his teens, Oscar Wilde had long hair, so so did he. Maybe we can convince him to wear his hair long again, at age 150.

25 was the year he became the vampire Pierce.

I swear I'll return for the rest of the prompts! I really want to draw Phantom cats again, but my brain won't leave me alone right now.

Send me prompts from this list!

Oh hey, if it isn't my old friend, existential crisis. Two days into the holidays, and it's already caught up to me.

Sometime during my existence, I developed the habit of kicking myself when I'm feeling down. This doodle is me trying to stop doing that, one faceplanting vampurr at a time.

Random question: What fictional character do I remind you of?

It's been on my mind since someone recently told me I looked like Mavis Dracula from "Hotel Transylvania" (by a happy coincidence, I have her hairstyle). Would love to collect more of my fictional doppelgängers/matching weirdos.

What to do with Santa when you summon him

(Justice for Vampire Teddy! Look at the poor little chap.)

Red isn't the colour for breaking and entering.

You expect us to know what to say to strangers?

Right, gang?

In answer to urgent questions, those are my ideas for a good summoning, I mean, Christmas party. Passing the mic to @blackforrestpunk and @vladimirsangel - I insist that I not be entirely culpable for this.

It started out as a chicken joke, and then Aiden decided it deserves a place in my printable Christmas Advent, so now it seems doomed to be a running gag. The lil summoners are as follows: batty ears is Aurik, Vlad's Nosferatu, masked cat is Aiden's Punk Erik and the dummy in the bowtie is my Pierce.

Elf Vampire

Well... that's one way of evading the vampire hunters. Pierce is not beating the Christmas Elf allegations.

In spite of his delightful personality, he does have some bad vampire tendencies. Stalking and hiding in high places, for example.

At the moment, I'm putting him through some pain in my book (complicated backstory comes back to bite him in the behind), so let him have some fun.

Guess who’s back

Back again

Rayz/Skitt is back

Tell your friends

I'm not sure if you want my friends to know you

They live in my walls. They have possibly been Undead for years. They are very strange and make me stranger. I'm going to have to phrase this news very carefully so they don't take it as a dinner gong.

*Coughs weird humour out of my system like an exorcism*

Can't help it, my mum doesn't call me Wednesday Addams for no reason. Welcome back, Rayz!!

Send this to all your favourite moots and pass the pumpkin round! KEEP THE PUMPKIN TRAIN GOING 🎃🖤🎃🖤🎃

Oh my, oh my, I got two pumpkins!

Mr Pierce took them and made a train for his rats.

HISTORICAL REFERENCE IN A CHRISTINE DESIGN AAHHHH -

I'm treating this rationally. I am. Honest.

(Original meme by @blackforrestpunk )

@forever-and-whats-left ,a Christine Daaé for you. I hope she fits the bill. I gave her an earring and some hair accessories based on some pictures of Christine Nilsson, widely believed to have been an inspiration for Gaston Leroux.

@blackforrestpunk asked @vladimirsangel for a Dracula pinup. Who am I if not a provider of cursed things?

Don't let Aurik see this, please, I have no intention of horrifying him. Unless he wants it for his collection.

Monster pinups are a thing now. Oh yes, I still owe Vlad a Gossamer pinup. (Why is this my life now?) Grinch pinup here.
