Wherever you go, let me come too. Christine, that's all I ask of you.

Q: What is your most embarrassing stage moment?

A: Probably one of my most embarrassing moments was during the love song on the rooftop in The Phantom of the Opera and when I turned to run into the leading male’s arms, my cape wrapped around my feet and I didn’t realize it. I fell face first on the stage and the actor was laughing so hard he couldn’t come help me get up.

Saw Phantom of the Opera in person about two months ago and I haven’t been able to get over it since. I also recently started reading the book which is great but a lot to unpack.

One of my favorite takeaways from that recent Jonathan and Meghan live is why the Phantom lets Christine go. Jonathan said something like, "He lets her go into the light, because he can't go into the light." Dayum.

An anon asked me for Erik x Raoul in their masquerade attire. Red Death is surprisingly very easy to draw compared to Raoul’s hussar uniform; my hand is dead from that;(

I haven’t been happy with my linework lately so I used this as an exercise to practice my lines.

I wish I could upload more of my stuff but the scanning is the problem. I have so much I would like to scan…

But here’s a drawing of a generic ALW Phantom I liked. :)

(If you wonder about the Wtf hands, it was supposed to look seductive)
