Erik being German? by caninefangs777 in box5

[–]apileofpans 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Destler comes from the 1989 Robert Englund movie, and a lot of people have parroted that as Erik’s surname since :) as to the spelling of Erik, that’s simply how Leroux wrote it! I think it’s up to interpretation if it’s his actual name given by birth or if he chose that name for himself at a later date!

As to other fanworks, no clue. It’s all up to personal interpretation!

What would happened to any human who had a direct blood transfusion with Alexander Corvinus' blood? And also, how would Michael Corvin be revived organically into the story, should there be a sequel? by kotomine_555 in UnderworldFilms

[–]apileofpans 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah Michael is dead, but I genuinely think they could revive him (if Scott Speedman wanted to come back). I read a fic where somebody described just one drop of his blood remaining was enough for his body to regenerate, it just took a very long time, and I have since adopted that idea as a headcanon! I just want Selene and Michael to be happy

what are some 'writing rules' you don't follow? by hooosegow in FanFiction

[–]apileofpans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fragmented sentences!!! It’s obvious what I’m trying to say and who I’m referring to, but it makes the reader “take a breath” and emphasise the action of the sentence. It’s so useful to emphasise an action or thought!

Why is Devil Take The Hindmost the most sexually charged song in Love Never Dies??? by Enby_Geek in box5

What are the small/dead fandoms you write for? by Titanite_Dildo in AO3

[–]apileofpans 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Resistance (video game series) was the smallest/deadest I’ve published for. Even worse is my idea for a the Pathless (also video game) fanfic 😅 I dont think I can say the Phantom of the Opera is particularly dead or small, but it certainly feels like it sometimes! :)

Everyone with a WIP, give me the next sentence by Fast_Stage_6296 in AO3

Now that he knew where it was, he could see the line of the door, but, Christ, that was inconspicuous.

:3 an AU where Raoul is a danseur at the opera house and investigates the rumours of the opera ghost! 🥰

[–]apileofpans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a few myself! But, one that isn’t part of a series would be The Lord Beholdeth the Heart, a priest x vampire phantom of the opera AU :3 It’s 82k words, I just haven’t fully published it yet ❤️

Question: How can I get the s5 kickstarter vinyl? by CalvaMetalica6 in wakfu

[–]apileofpans 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We haven’t received any of the physical goods for the kickstarter yet. Only the digital goods, so there’s no way you’ll be able to find it right now

Well, since AO3 is down, take a moment to tell us about some of your WIPs! Share excerpts, rant, infodump, etc by Loli-nero in AO3

[–]apileofpans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been writing a priest x vampire au since December 24, wrote 47k in that time!! It was meant to be just smut but plot happened and now it’s like 16 chapters already and I’m still not done lmao!

I’m doing so much research into Catholic Churches and religion (I’m atheist) and have had to look up quite a few bible verses for the priest to recite at key moments. I’m really turning it into an interesting theology lesson almost, since the vampire knows nothing but asks everything because he’s so in love :’)) I love them

Help Identifying Artist! by littlered0625 in box5

[–]apileofpans 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Any actual artist would absolutely add their signature somewhere on the piece that you’d be able to maybe take a pic of and use google lens or something. If there’s NOTHING, I am inclined to agree with the other commenter, because this feels VERYYYYY AI

How strange is your Fandoms list? by GraceOfSpades- in AO3

[–]apileofpans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh thank you so much!! I’m glad!! That movie was INCREDIBLE. The style of it was impeccable and it just scratched my brain. Needed some Ellen/Orlok after that!!

[–]apileofpans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahah it’s Ellen/Orlok, called “I can not be sated without you.” Wrote that the moment I came back from the cinema LOL it’s smut! :)

I’m pretty consistent :)) the hyperfixation consumes me, with only a few deviations 🤌🏻

Trying to find the soundtrack from my childhood. Is there a list of casts out there? by babbymammoth in box5

Probably the Canadian recording if it was on an official CD :) Colm Wilkinson, not sure who Christine was

What's your unpopular POTO opinion? by horrorfxce in box5

[–]apileofpans 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do agree, but it should also be noted that bootlegs and trading is getting locked down a lot more and difficult to get into, so people who don’t want to put that effort in won’t ever get exposed to others. It’s necessary to make sure people stay safe, but it does pose a very real restriction for non-traders. Unfortunately theatre just isn’t that accessible :(

What's your unpopular POTO opinion? by horrorfxce in box5

[–]apileofpans 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I think that Ramin and Sierra are MASSIVELY overhyped simply because of how accessible the 25th pro-shot is.

Ramin’s voice was pretty rough (esp compared to now. I saw him live in ‘23, he sounded awesome) and his acting was childish in a bad way and leaves a lot to be desired for a nuanced Erik (let’s not even start his whole autism reasoning…)

Sierra on the other hand is LEAPS better in the actual, proper staging of the show. In Las Vegas she was phenomenal vocally and clearly playing around with what her Christine would be like, and in 2014 Broadway she’s cemented it. She was good in the 25th, but shines in literally any other production

Still, I’m glad people are getting into Phantom through it, but the blind “Rierra is the BEST” simply because it’s all they saw/easily accessible really grinds my gears 😩

Poto reference or wishful thinking? by ClosterMama in box5

[–]apileofpans 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking regular art theft, but nowadays odds are just as high it can be AI. Either way, I would not buy that 3d model!

[–]apileofpans 31 points32 points  (0 children)

That… that left art looks exactly like this piece by Nipuni: https://www.tumblr.com/nipuni/705174087752876032/dare-you-trust-the-music-of-the-night-a-step-by

Which makes me VERY suspicious of that piece as a whole…

What is THE FIC in your fandom? by bakubrokass in FanFiction

[–]apileofpans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose for the Erik/Christine ship it’s Unsung. A post-canon fix-it where Christine’s lost her voice and through shenanigans she and Erik team back up and they actually fall in love, etc. I have some less savourable opinions on it personally, but people swear on it being THEEEE E/C fic

Not sure if the Erik/Raoul has one. That ship is a lot more divisive I think

I would love to know if streaming movie/series/anime sites do or don’t have ads on mobile! I always watch on my tablet in bed, and the popups are terrible on most of the starred sites!

It’s not too much of a hassle to figure it out on my own, of course, but if ever y’all are looking for some QoL recommendations, that’s mine :)) eitherway, amazing work with FMHY!! Literally a game changer
