shoutout to the time a few summers ago when i went to Paris, basically lived in the Palais Garnier for a week, and snuck into Box 5.

i walked up to the door of Box 5 that day, and saw it was open! the staff must have forgotten to close the door after cleaning. back in the early 2000s, the Palais Garnier administration put a plaque on the inside and outside of La loge n°5 that reads "Loge du Fantôme de l'Opéra". it is officially Erik's Box.

here's what Erik's plaque on Box 5 looks like from the outside. note all the fingerprints from phans (some of which are mine).

here's where Box 5 sits in the auditorium. contrary to popular belief, Erik didn't choose the Emperor's Box (the large, ornate box close to the stage) or even the box next to it. Erik chose the plain box on the other side of the column. Erik is Emperor's Box-adjacent. he's gotta keep some semblance of humility!

i immediately went and sat in Erik's seat (the second seat on the left side of Box 5). i also knocked on the column, like Gaston Leroux instructed us to do. the marble column itself appears to be solid, but the metal base is hollow. (Leroux claimed this was where Erik hid when he performed his ventriloquist tricks, like making poor Carlotta croak like a toad)

this is the view of the stage from Box 5 (what Erik would have seen when he watched Christine perform)...

aaand here's Erik's view of the chandelier, as he dreamed of dropping it on the audience... ("Erik no! don't do it!" –the Daroga, probably)

aaaaaand then shortly after this, security came and chased us out... au revoir, Erik!

ur erik is ugly and nobody cares about ur fatass oc omg people werent even like that back then 💀

Thank you for stating the obvious about my Erik design because I have stated many times he is meant to be ugly! Also, fat people actually have existed throughout all of time! Fat people are allowed to do the same things as thinner people, if you didn’t realise that?

This is a thing called fiction (if you know what that is) and I can do what I want with it. Shocking, I know. Even if people don’t care about my content, I’m enjoying myself!

The Phantom of the Opera:

Creepy gothic vibes, caves, Paris, intense ballerinas, and absolutely bone chilling musical introductions. It is immediately recognizable and had 16 year old me momentarily obsessed.

Look. The story is every 14 year old goth girl's darkest fantasy. Who as a teenager didn't fantasize about being an orphaned angelic soprano raised in an opera house, and under the tutelage of a mysterious figure who leaves you crimson roses after each performance and may or may not be presenting himself as an angel sent by the ghost of her dead father? And to have a childhood sweetheart come back into her life, ready to confess his feelings and save her from a scheming man? (Also those costumes. I mostly fantasized about the costumes.)

Trolls:

Genuinely love how the Trolls franchise just keeps getting better and more solid with each installment, this film is so fun. Also suckin on ring-pops are apparently the equivalent of taking a hit in the trolls universe and that gag is really funny to me fsr

In the tavern...

Check notes for previous instalments

You settle down with a plate of meat and potatoes at a small table that wobbles at the smallest nudge. There’s another person at the table who might be willing to speak to you.

You say, ‘You know, the meat and potatoes of this meal is the meat and potatoes.’ The joke doesn’t land.

‘Why are you talking to me?’

You explain that you wanted to apprentice yourself to one of the witches, but you’re not sure where to start.

‘Oh, there’s a good five or so of those witches up here. Depends on what you can stomach.’ They shrug. ‘Old bitch up by the coast makes sure boats don’t crash into the cliffs and that roads one keeps the main roads around here in good condition. Not that she’s been doing much of that lately - you would’ve seen the state of them on the way in.’

‘I’ll probably be feeling it for a while too.’ You give your name and hold out your hand to shake. ‘Name?’

‘Lex.’

You both eat in silence for a while. Then they say, ‘Look, if you want to find out more about those witches, head over to the town hall. And pick up a new jacket before you freeze to death.’ They get up to leave.

I'm pissing myself laughing right now and I'm about to explain why

I rewatched the 2004 Phantom of the Opera film, and as I was doing so, I realized that I recognized the name of Firmin's actor, Ciarán Hinds

long story short:

this is the same fucking guy???

Did I NOT instruct that Box 5 was to be left empty?

OMG this is PERFECT! Thank you, my friend! 😂 💖

Marc and Erik are a Spector and a "specter." Two catboy sewer goblins with a penchant for theatrics. Truly, kindred spirits lol.

This is even on the same side of the theatre as Box 5!
