Come back to my place, I've got much, much better meatballs I'd love for you to taste
just a dump of old sketches of a few characters from a comic I hope to make someday. Don't have a name for it yet but I call it The Stiärnhav Monastery as of right now (so I will post it as [tshm] for now). Here's a info dump of the characters (in order):
We'll get to finally meet some of Stephanie's family! But this day will be long, so I'll have to have a continuation on it...
Stephanie's parents are named Betty and Fredrik, and her two younger sisters are named Silje and Sindy - they are twins and are 26 years old (even if they act a bit like teens... they're just excited to be aunties!)
"Ein'n Moment hab'n wir noch Zeit
Dieser Tanz ohne Distanz ist das Einzige, was bleibt
Ein'n Moment hab'n wir noch Zeit
Das Ende vom Lied
Wir wussten nicht, was uns geschieht
Die größte Angst
Die größte Angst hab' ich vor dir
Davor, dass wir uns im Dreivierteltakt verlier'n..."
Fredrik - Größte Angst | me
KNUDSEN'S GOT A GUN!!
Can't believe Fred shot Steve Austin.
new to phantom stuff, why are those two last names so popular?
They're the last names from the two most popular screen adaptation (other than the 1925 Lon Chaney silent film and the 2004 ALW adaptation with Gerard Butler)
"Erik Destler" is his name in the 1989 version with Robert Englund.
It's a sort of slasher-y take on the story, set in England, not France and has a Faustian element: Erik Destler, a composer sells his soul to the devil to create the world's most beautiful music, but in return the devil disfigures him so that his music will be the only thing anyone could love about him. It's quite a gory version (rather than wear a mask he skins his victims and sews their flesh to his ruined face), but he's actually one of the most romantic and vulnerable interpretations I've seen.
He's never outright called "Erik Carriere" in the 1990 two-part mini-series with Charles Dance (Which is based on the Yeston-Kopit book/play, rather than Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical), but we (***SPOILERS***) discover that Burt Lancaster's character, M. Carriere is his father in the second half.
Carriere and Erik's mother had him out of wedlock, so technically Erik's last name legally would be his mother's (she's referred to only by the mononym "Belladova"), but ~shrugs~. The basic plot is the same old story, except there's no "Angel of Music" charade, the Changy boy is called "Phillipe" rather than Raoul, it's set in the Edwardian Era rather than the 1880's and Erik's mother loved him, rather than rejected him, but died early. Also he was raised by his father. This version of Erik is EXTREMELY popular. He's not my favourite, but he's definitely a phan-phavorite. He's quite a gentle take on the Erik character, which is part of his popularity. You can find this version on YouTube if it tickles your curiosity. The Robert Englund version is a bit harder to track down but I recommend watching both at least once.
I Don’t Care, I’ll Call on Them in Ritual Anyway!
I know that a lot of Heathens tend to give others a lot of shit for calling the Four Dwarves of the Horizons during ritual to protect and help hallow sacred space, but fuck it, I don’t care, I’ll do it anyway. And don’t bother trying to tell me I do it because it’s similar to calling quarters in ritual with Wicca and that I got it from Wicca, because I was never Wiccan to begin with, I started out my journey into Paganism far differently than that, and I come up with my ways of doing things like warding space from a multitude of places, the various pieces of lore just being one of them.
One of the main reasons why I call upon of them is because of my of my companion Fredrik. Well, he’s my dad’s companion long before he became one of mine, and he’s been a part of my household for the past sixty one years (there’s an interesting story to be told about that), and he happens to be one of the dvergr, himself.
Anyway, Fredrik counts the Four Dwarves of the Horizon as I’m calling them among his personal gods, among other Dwarves he considers as some of his gods.
I have a good and strong relationship with Fredrik, I have a good and healthy relationship with other Dwarves and with the dvergr, as a whole to some extent through my relationship with him, and while I don’t worship his gods myself, I’ve been told I can call upon them for aid so long as I do it respectfully and by the Dwarven way if I’m so inspired.
So you can bet on my blind bigendered ass that I call upon them in ritual, if I’m not calling on Fenrir and Jormundgandr, or to my three Norse companions to aid in warding my space during Norse specific rituals among other things I do, like walking the ritual boundry with fire in hand and hailing Loki. And other such things.
Lineart of my main daydream characters!
