I know I keep yapping about two fuckass men from a 116 year old book but they make me really happy for some reason…they also make me very sad but that’s irrelevant at the current moment….

"One word, one voice. So clear. Now it's all that I want to hear. Come show your face. My invisible angel" Sunday Driver -Mechanical Angel

We know that Erik is really good at making realistic automatons which brings me to my point: what if to convince Christine that Angel of Music is real real he built an automaton of an angel, even though the said automaton was more of a "special effect" (idk probably showing it in a form of shadow/illusion or something like that to still keep the idea of mystery and that this is an otherwordly entity etc) + he can easily use his ventriloquist skills with this doll; yet still giving this mechanical doll HIS face to 1)draw the line that HE is the angel sent by Christine's father to gain her trust 2)idk but i was thinking about this part of the book where he mentions realistic mask so he could've practiced making those with this mechanical project

So here're some sketches of Erik's sketchbook (wanted to add some notes as well but ugh i didn't have any ideas)

Erik creating his mechanical Angel of Music

And Christine seeing the "Angel of Music" instead of creepy mirror bride

Okay so i've been thinking about this au/hc since i've heard "Mechanical Angel" by Sunday Driver for the first time (3-4 years) and it's actually make sense at least in my head☝️🤓

also please listen to Mechanical Angel by Sunday Driver this song is soooo phantom coded

erik how do you feel about organs /silly

Organs are my favorite instrument…and I saw your other ask about either one. I prefer the instruments, of course, but if it’s Raoul’s organs we’re talking about…well, I would be happy if they stopped working.
