this is an independent roleplay blog for christine daaé of the phantom of the opera. this blog is now highly private, meaning I will only be following friends and consistent writing partners back, and writing is something I only do when I have time. below are listed some basic interaction rules for this blog!
my portrayal of christine is based on the original novel by gaston leroux (1910), andrew lloyd webber’s stage musical (1986-present), and personal headcanon, as I’ve been writing christine a long time and on many blogs before this one. my portrayal is not compliant with the 2004 film, susan kay’s phantom novel, or love never dies. I’m okay with following muses from these canons if the problematic stuff in them is avoided.
I take additional influences for christine / my interpretation of phantom from: la belle et la bête (villeneuve), deathless (catherynn m. valente), crimson peak (del toro), the gothic short stories of nathaniel hawthorne, the compositions of tchaikovsky, the ‘descent myth’ concept (such as orpheus and eurydice), and elements of victorian and romantic era poetry.
as stated above, I only follow friends back and I will make exceptions to interact selectively with phantom or gothic lit-related muses that I’m not acquainted with. this is to preserve my experience while writing christine and for my own comfort since I just don’t enjoy having a busy dash on this muse and I only want to follow people I interact with frequently, and will not follow anyone under the age of 18. thank you for respecting this.
there is triggering content present on this blog, related to: death, murder, violence, body horror / disfiguration, emotional manipulation, religious themes, some sexual themes, and imagery of masks, blood and nooses. I will tag on request, but be aware when following that these will likely be present. nsfw will always be tagged as such. other triggers are tagged as tw:thing. my triggers are: animal death, eating disorders, suicidal idealation.
basic etiquette - I softblock instead of unfollowing if we are mutuals so please do the same, don’t use me as a resource and please reblog from the source, send in a meme if you reblog one from me, I’ll end interaction if I see vagueing or uncomfortable content on the dash, or people posting about duplicate anxiety as I see it as a form of gatekeeping. sentiments of intolerance or hate speech will make me nope out of your blog. *due to recent discourse, please note I am firmly against the writing of historical figures as muses, including those in musicals, tv shows, or “semi-fictional” adaptations. if they were real people you shouldn’t be writing them, as this is engaging with revisionist history and is harmful.
writing is slow and sporadic since I work and am a full time college student. thank you for being patient with me. I prefer plotting for interactions, if you’d like to interact the best way is to send a meme. starter calls are rare but will be posted on occasion, and I reserve the right to take my time with responses, as can you.
I only am interested in shipping christine with her canon relationships: with raoul, and erik. I am ship-exclusive with @revnante for the erik/christine ship, as it is a difficult dynamic to properly portray given the problematic elements that can arise. I am open to writing with other phantom blogs, but not in the shipping context. I don’t tolerate hate here, so if you post frequently against one of the characters or ships in phantom it’s unlikely I will remain following, I don’t like seeing negativity.
anonymous messages are off as well as IM’s for nonmutuals, I can be reached in my askbox if there is a concern. mutuals can request my discord! I’m honestly there more than here.
I don’t claim ownership of christine or of phantom of the opera, which belongs to its respective creators. please don’t steal from me, as I’ve worked hard over the years to develop headcanons, views, graphics, ideas, etc. my psd is a hybrid of plutocommissions + kingsleigh with adjustments.
that’s about it, other than that, if you’re interested in discussing phantom of the opera, gothic literature, and the like, I’m always up for those conversations and for sharing my interests with others!
my name is wendy. she/her, 22, gmt-8. aries w/ some conflicting pisces placements. we probably already know each other, but if not, it’s nice to meet you!
