we need to discuss how erik in the yeston/kopit phantom is probably the most socially isolated version of erik in that he has presumably only ever had a conversation with one other human being his whole life (gerard) until he meets christine. she is the first person he has ever held a conversation with aside from the man who is basically an extension of himself (and whom he has known since birth) and we are expected to believe he would pull off a convo with his new crush smoothly? where are the fics that rewrite their first meeting and erik is an absolute loserboy cringey mess??? hm????

#time to go write one #ive been wanting to rewrite y/k for awhile bc i loveee the story but the script is so meh #might start w a oneshot of their first meeting and go from there #anyway this is such an important element of his character imo and it needs to be shown more!!!#erik is not mr suave sexy he is a homeschooled basement boy and should be portrayed with accurate levels of cringe behavior #phantom of the opera #poto #erik #erik the phantom
