Phantom Headcannons
(Note: I haven't seen anyone else's Headcannons theories anything on the character yet to make my own thoughts so sorry if some of these contradict, but who knows, egos always develop)
•like Natemare can travel by smoke hence his phantom like nature and how he can just appear in people's rooms he takes an interest in or thinks they'll what to make a deal
•Is going to stay to try and manipulate you, finding out your deepest desires by coming off as charming, even showing them to you in hallucinatory type scenarios
•can use powers to make you want him, likes to have fun with some of his victims before he does deals. If you didn't want him you start to feel the need for him
•managers of acts need to take mise-en-scene into consideration. He can dim lights, have background music, colourisation etc to make you more enticed to him
•if you don't take his deal he'll make sure you never have success in your field again, you're going to need to say yes or you'll be doomed, and I can see him as a phantom being able to linger in and out of your life for a long long time
•gives you hints but hides them so well you still accept "that wish you wished you'd never made" "every single warning sign it passed you up and slipped you by"
•If he thinks you're going to need to be built up or freaked out by him suddenly appearing he'll hint throughout the time he's spotted you what you need to do. Changing your tv constantly to a channel of someone famous doing well in the field you want to succeed in etc then leaving a book like he did to contact him or even a phone number if he feels that would put you off
•he will need to be in front of you to manipulate you best, otherwise he can just use any tactics a smart person could, to make your need higher he'll want to meet with you
•puts you down and how bad the world is, how you could never achieve anything but with him you have 100%
•watched Darkiplier at work for a while and now the emo, who argues Phantom should have those nicknames too with the guyliner he wears, stole his trade
•gives you a little taste of power but makes you fail near the end so you get hooked and you feel you need him
•takes his work seriously, mostly so there are no loopholes, and also wants to be the best in his field too
•looks after those he's trying to get to sign or just signed on. Those trapped are his slaves, he makes them work for him then takes their profits since he owns them so make sure no harm comes
•likes to get to know who he's signing on too. What they're like so how he can give them their star potential. If they're someone he's going to want to take out more, little facts he asks over drinks so he can use that to manipulate you pretending to be your friend
•if he gets lonely or needs a hand he might take his favourite out into the void with him, showing them off to the others there, if they're newly signed he'll show them as well since some part of them resides there if they're not outside his globe on top his cane
•might bite to claim you as well as the signature, either does it if he convince you to have sex with him during that so when you wake you can sign or afterwards just as he pushes you onstage to do your show, it might make you a little loopy so you love your audience and don't realise you're trapped just yet
•someone once got his and darks canes mixed up, maybe a PA when they went on a business trip together and they both threw a fit. Phantom was angry since he thought fake would use it to learn about him or get something out of him but was curious when Dark seemed to care more about getting his own average looking cane back
•uses voice to show you he's good for the star business
•Hates that his 'older brother' Mare has more power than him simply because he's older
•More independent than Natemare and doesn't do singing as a power or smoke as much since he has other methods but he doesn't have singing powers like Mare has, which he also hates because 'You could get anything from anyone by whistling a tune and you don't make a profit from it!?'
•Can see him dancing around on his cane with a hat, clicking his fingers to turn a spotlight on before beating someone with his cane in tune of a song playing in the bar he'd cleared out
With an S/O
•Loves you biting him, feeding off him and he likes biting you back just as much, leaving his mark but not claiming in the soul kind of way, these marks(hickeys) heal
•Wild style. Will take you on floor against wall in his stars dressing room who he's trying to sign on but you wanted him and he wouldn't deny that opportunity
•likes his work but a performance from you will get him to pay attention, especially if he tried to sign you for a talent you had and that's why he took an interest in you in the first place
•will keep the souls in his cane, won't take them out for entertainment profit or a helping hand because he thinks you'll probably ask him to let them go but that would drain his power and how would he be there to look over you for the rest of time
•If he claims you you're basically immortal but a slave. If he did it because you were dying and he loved you he'd keep you out 24/7 and promise you were not a slave and would try to control his natural instincts of reining his subjects back in, would also never let that anyone near the cane ever again
•performances are in his old days, he's in the managerial business now but like singing you are my sunshine to you (also shows you're different than the others he enticed (but not by romance after commuting to you) like his lyric "I'm your sunshine" he shows you're more important to him)
•At the start of your relationship always gave you a present after a good business day until you realised a good business day was when he captured someone and his presents were something he took form their person/home since they wouldn't need it anymore
•Tells you you don't need him for anything you do, you're a star on your own, he's even jealous he'll never have someone that talented on his 'team' and likes to make you feel good about yourself and have fun
•Gets very possessive. It doesn't help you go to bars or dance clubs, he walks off to spy on someone he thinks may crave talent and of course there's people who're going to try and say hi to you
•if he doesn't want to officially greet you yet or for you to be mad at him will use slaves you've not seen yet who will beat up people that flirt with you or randomly do something to help you, will normally pick someone he hopes you won't fall for instead of him him though
