Hello! I’m your Secret Santa. I really want to get an idea of what you like, so can you give me furthermore details?

Hi! 

Well, my favorite versions are the musical, Leroux, and Lon Chaney phantoms (though ive seen almost every one I think? yes,,, even the rat one *shudders*). 

There really aren’t any ships I mind though I’d say I’m more partial to E/C, M/C, D/C (daroga/erik) and E/OC; although I don’t ship as intensely here as I do other fandoms. 

Uhh I love when people potray Christine’s strength (”I am mistress of my own actions, M. de Chagny: you have no right to control them, and I will beg you to desist henceforth. As to what I have done during the last fortnight, there is only one man in the world who has the right to demand an account of me: my husband! Well, I have no husband and I never mean to marry!“ iconic tbh. And I also love when Christine’s shield Raoul from Erik in the final lair. Of course strength can vary without being diminished by being different, but the “though she be but little she is fierce” approach is my bias as a short 5′3″ person who’s not afraid to put up a fight ajksla). 

I also love when people aren’t afraid to depict Erik as ugly, love that sewer goblin. 

The Daroga is underrated (by the mainstream media, in fandom he’s treated quite nicely) and I love him god that man has to put up with so much. 

I love M/C because of the genuine friendship and bond there and how soft they are with each other and also I’m hella gay ansmls. 

Ramin and Sierra are one of my top Phantom duos (lowkey love the versions that throw in a bit of E/C ambiguity, even though I’m not really set on any one ship). 

I also love Anthony Warlow (the best Jekyll/Hyde in my opinion tbh, even though he only got to do the concept album) and Anna O’Bryne.

Jeremy Stolle and Ali Ewoldt are also lovely and I’ll stop here before I start an never-ending list of favorite casts ajklks;las

I love Raoul he is a Good Boy and I will defend him. 

Love Never Dies is trash but I first listened to it at the worst time possible (middle school twilight phase era) so I’m admittedly a bit nostalgic about it and while the story is bad fanfiction I do like some of the music quite a bit (except for bathing beauty and the carnie songs,,, I just can’t picture Erik ever writing something like that, heartbroken without Christine or no). It’s Devil Takes the Hindmost, Beauty Underneath, Dear Old Friend, Beneath a Moonless Sky and songs along that vein I appreciate the music of more. 

Uhh I generally love the victorian and gothic aesthetic. 

Not quite sure if I’m gay for Christine or want to be Christine. 

One of my most favorite phantom fics ever is Erik/OC (which is surprising because I rarely ever read character/OC but this fic surpassed all my expectations and is one of my all time favorites)

Umm unrelated to phantom I love birds (I have a pet cockatiel who is like a child to me), musical theatre in general, spooky things, the victorian era, bees, Sherlock Holmes, and poetry! 

I hope that was enough! Sorry if it was tmi!
