Well...damn.

I finally watched The Phantom of the Opera, and now I have to grapple with how much Operetta makes absolutely no sense.

Like I'm wracking my brain, and the only conclusion I've come to is that she'd make sense if she wasn't a ghost at all, but a siren.

Maybe after years of being cast out by his fellow humans, Erik finds refuge in the monster world which welcomes him with open arms, and also gives him the chance for a new start.

And given his love of opera, he falls in love with a siren and they have a child together. Thusly making Operetta half human, half siren.

This way, she can keep her hypnotizing voice, since she sure as hell wouldn't have gotten it from Erik.

#monster high #operetta #before i had the deniability of not being familiar with the source material but thats just gone #now im grasping at straws trying to make her work #i do appreciate certain details of her character tho #like i always thought she knew her way around the catacombs because she was down there a lot but no #thats something very much inspired by the phantom which is cool #and im not sure if this is a detail thats in all the adaptations but the movie at least suggests that he's of romani heritage which is neat #were they tactful and respectful about it? hell no #her design wouldn't even have to change that much #just add some fishy or bird-like features and bam!#couldnt even tell she was a ghost anyway #its funny that she's a ghost and invisibilly isn't lol #text post #this feels like a stretch tho #“that phantom of the opera's daughter who isn't a phantom at all because neither is he”
