Upon finally reading Phantom of the Opera, this is what I’ve gathered.

Warning: PotO spoilers

Erik: OG theatre kid. Sleeps in a coffin. Makes bouquets and sad music in his free time. Would beat every midwestern cowboy in a rodeo round up. So. So lonely. Actual cat

The Persian/ Daroga: trying to do the right thing by Erik. Spends a lot of time crawling around in the floor. Hold your hand at the level of your eye or so help me — Baby ™️

Christine: naïve but wants so badly to be kind to Erik as well. Her dad is dead. Used to be an amazing singer, then she couldn’t sing, now she can again (…sometimes).

Mme Giry: mother goose. WILL KICK YOUR ASS. three teeth.

Richard: hotheaded. Crab.

Moncharmin: probably smokes weed ngl. Needs a clothespin.

Raoul: die. Cry baby. So, so selfish. Just as insecure as Erik, but in different ways. I actually hate him. OG Jacob for Twilight (doesn’t actually care about love interest’s happiness, just wants her for himself).

Erik: When I get murdered, can you make sure I become an unsolved case?

Daroga: What?

Erik: I wanna be one of those buzzfeed unsolved mysteries

Dargoa: No I want to go back to the part when you said ‘When I get murdered’

[musicofthesoprano]

Christine: *playing hide and seek with erik*

Christine: Erik! Erik! It's been 2 hours! Come out!

Erik: *doesnt come out because he's stubborn ass*

*five years later Christine tries to move out*

Erik: EXCUSE ME WHAT ARE YOU DOING

Christine: ERIK I THOUGHT I LOST YOU WHAT THE HELL? IM SO GLAD YOU CAME BACK FROM HIDING YOU BITCH

It took me forever to finally ask this question because frankly, I was too embarassed to ask it before.

Could someone please explain to me what the hell a dargoa is?

[chronicallye]

Dargoa: Actual human interaction

Erik: What can therapy do for me that screaming in my gondola for 30 minutes can’t?

How did the Dargoa rescue TC from the sideshow? (For some reason, I'm imagining him going undercover with the gypsies and sneaking around in the middle of the night and picking the lock with one of his many hairpins. Sorry if this is stupid!)

Haha, no worries! But the hows and whys are SPOILERs! Let’s just say he was not as altruistic as that, haha. But it is a cute idea that a: he would have hairpins, and b: he would be so sneaky in trying to help out TC

(FYI, You might not be aware of this but the term g*psy is considered to be quite offensive...I know in America, we aren’t as aware that its a racial slur  (because of appropriation/exotification in our media akjsh) but I would still avoid using it. Sorry to data dump, but if you are interested, there are some good information about the use of the term, preferred terms, history/persecution of the Romani people, here!

There’s a lot of Romani people in stereotypical/offensive roles in PotO media *cough* Kay *cough* and It personally makes me uncomfortable. I’m seeking to avoid that whole “caravan” mess in Fantomestein and if/when the circus/sideshow is involved, it is going to be more along the lines of Royal Italian Circus or something of that ilk.)
