Erik from The Phantom of the Opera, please?? (the 1925s version is the better option)

Erik from The Phantom of the Opera (1925) is about to fucking kill someone!

And I sound like an infant Feeling like the very last drops of an ink pen A greater woman stays cool But I howl like a wolf at the moon A greater woman has faith But even statues crumble if they're made to wait I'm so afraid I sealed my fate No sign of soulmates

Lon Chaney’s Erik is uhhhh. 

Interesting.

Watched the 1925 and 2004 adaptations this weekend. Loved '25, the most uncomfortable Erik to me so far. And his mask is really unsettling. Probably because of the absence of his mouth and weird eyes? He is kinda funny without the mask though :D But oh, Christine in this movie is gorgeous!! And 2004 version.. it's just..okay imo. Just not my favourite. The music is great, but it's just repetition of the musical (don't go after me please)

And have more Cherik ofc

Yet in his eyes

All the sadness of the world

Those pleading eyes

That both threaten and adore

Did you know that Lon Chaney's Erik is 32 years old?

Yes. This goofy ass man is 32 years old.

So, the silent movie gives a few and undetailed comment about Erik's life before he became the Opera Ghost. A script cheating? Maybe, but it's a 1925 movie with 1 hour and 50 minutes so we excuse that.

Erik was born during the Boulevard Massacre, an event that happened on 23/2/1848, Paris. The main story takes place in 1881 as the original novel, so yeah, Erik is 32 years old and his birthday is 23th February. THIS SILLY MOTHERFUCKER IS ONLY 32 YEARS OLD.

I think 1925 Erik's backstory could be such an interesting thing to explore. He doesn't seem to have traveled to Persia and was born in Paris instead of Rouen, was accused of witchcraft and exiled on an Island by reasons not fully explained... i wonder what could be explored about him. Will i write a fanfiction about his past and a sequel to the 1925 movie?... HELL, YES.

Lon Chaney Erik!

I plan to draw more scenes from the 1925 film :)

Also, let us all collectively agree to ignore my handwriting...

It’s someone’s special day!

Happy birthday to Lon Chaney’s Erik! On this day 176 years ago, this sweet and very innocent sewer gremlin was born! I bet he was the cutest baby 🥹

I offer... my POTO art...

Christine, that's all I ask of...

The thing I love about being in the POTO fandom is that I could take a photo of a random skeleton outside of a cottage in summer with flowers growing on its skull, and someone in the tags will add:

”I’m so glad Erik decided to make himself a flower crown, the poor man needs it.”

and I love us for that.
