I, Fop Huntress, welcome you to my secret abode, The Apollo House. Please have a seat; I will explain myself to you, the lovely citizens of FanFiction!

WARNING! WARNING! THIS PROFILE CONTAINS SOME LANGUAGE! WARNING! WARNING!

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. DO NOT HATE ME IF YOU DO NOT LIKE SAILORS' MOUTHS!

Age: Immortal - Yes, I have found the secret to immortality.

Sex: Female - And always will remain a female.

Appearance: Like a human - Really narrows things down.

Horoscope: Taurus

Literary Double: Cynara Claire Destler - Basically my pen name. Totally different from my real name.

Species: Phantom Phan - I am not human.

About Me: I am very sensitive, even though people may think otherwise by my appearance. I have had something happen in my past which makes me constantly longing for revenge or justice. I am known to take risks, yet I am very careful and prepared for what happens.

I tend to hide my emotions. I am at a very low point in life. I feel alone in life. I feel as if nobody could ever understand me. But there is only one thing that I cling to in life: I want to belong, but you don't want to change. I am sometimes envious of other people's seemingly perfect lives.

I wonder at the future. What will the world hold for us all? And what will consciousness mean if we as men can create it? What is divinity, humanity? What is anything, after all, if anything can be manufactured?

For some reason or another, I just can't seem to find a positive outlook on life. I get angry when people try to relate with how I feel, because I am convinced they won't understand. Deep down, I know there should be a million reasons for people to want to get to know me, but I often find myself closing myself off from those around me. I have my select friends, but can't help but want something more. I find opening up difficult, but I do find my ways to let things out. I have my good days, but even through the good times, I feel like there is always going to be those feelings that don't sit right.

People sometimes find me cold and reserved. They don't know me well enough though, because in reality; I am warm and passionate with a sensitivity to nature and natural beauty. But I hide my feelings. I am a natural worrier. I am a miserable young lady. Nothing ever seems to go right for me, and I am always being let down whether it's by friends or by family.

Others see me as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. People see me as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. I am not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends I do make, and I expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know me realize it takes a lot to shake my trust in them, but equally; it takes me a long time to get over it if that trust is ever broken.

My eyes tell the world that I am always sad. I am a deeper thinker. I always look at everything in a depressing manner, and no matter what, my eyes will never smile. I am always thinking about something other than what everyone is saying. I usually say little or nothing at all. I am not in many sports and hate everyone. I am usually found in my room or in the closet writing depressing poems and books.

What Is A Phantom Phan?

Wikipedia's Definition Of A 'Phantom Phan'

A cult following has evolved around the story, with members calling themselves Phantom Phans. The most obsessive are those enthralled with Erik, but members can be fans of any of the characters. The most common way to spot one of these people is the way they manage to relate their everyday behavior to the story in some way, comparing their current life situation to some aspect of the story, or weaving their favorite character into the topic. Phans have been known to attend film showings in full costume -- though they hardly need that reason to don their capes and masks in public. And they often stop in their tracks at sight of masks, elaborate chandeliers, a new cover to the book, or even pipe organs. They may sing along if a Phantom-related song comes on over the speakers in a store or elevator. At least one Phan became so infatuated with the story that she legally changed her name to Christine Daaé. One website held a year-long competition as to who was the "Official Phantom Phan". The winner has kept that title as of 2006. Websites contain long lists of favored traits of the Phans themselves, Psychological/Medical breakdowns of the characters, comparisons of the book, play, and films, and news about the actors, along with copious fan fiction ("phan-phictions") Some "phictions" are alternate versions of the same story, and some simply use the setting and characters from The Phantom of the Opera as a launching station for their own storylines. Online Phantom forums have also blossomed over the internet connecting generations of "Phans." The growing number of Phans of The Phantom suggests that these are people who already were inclined to devote themselves to the arts, and many express great interest in other works focusing Gothic romanticism, the forgotten genius, or the damsel in macabre distress.

My Obsession With The Phantom of the Opera

I am an obsessed phan of the ever-popular Phantom of the Opera. I want to clear this up: in my view, the Phantom is not the antagonist, in fact; he's the victim. The Phantom of the Opera is the poor, innocent, victimized man, and I will always have a soft spot for him.

I know what a few of you readers are saying/thinking: How can a girl love a psychopathic, opera house haunting, deformed murderer who hates society?

It is scary to understand, but I am more like the Phantom than I originally thought. No, I am not a psychopathic, opera house, deformed murderer who hate society. But if you spare me a moment or two, I would be more than happy to spend an hour typing up a response. But before I start, I recommend spending a few moments looking at the quiz results and the 'About Me' section above; it will help you understand me.

I guess that I could relate to him personally, because I have an extremely tough life. Sometimes. I feel that I am alone, and that the entire human race is against me. And with my parents' style of upbringing me, I feel closed of from the outside world. So basically, I do not belong anywhere except for the worlds I conjure up within the confinement of my mind.

In the real world, I feel nothing but anger and hate. And I feel so outraged sometimes that I go completely and want to destroy something. I act like my dear Erik sometimes.

I do not socialize with people. I am forced to stay inside the walls of the prison I call home. Being a victim of this circumstance, I have the mentality and personality that I described in the 'About Me' section.

And the reason why I feel so attached to the Phantom is this: A person is most attracted to someone who often shares the pain and the hurt. Opposites don't always attract.

I can vouch and justify for all of Erik's crimes. All of his murders are not without cause. I will justify them, because I have experienced the same rage and hurt the Phantom would have felt that pushed him over the edge. But of course, I would not go out killing people, because I know the consequences. The 21st century is different the 19th century.

WARNING! WARNING! RANTS AHEAD! WARNING! WARNING!

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. DO NOT HATE ME IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE FOLLOWING RANTS.

Rant 1 - The 2004 Version The Phantom Of The Opera Movie

Okay, this is what I have to say...despite what you may think, it was made for more reasons than than to attract younger audiences and make "stupid, hormonally-charged, squealing phangirls" take over. Actually, there are less 2004 fans than Leroux OR MC. Before you start screaming at me for my views, your statements have most likely been answered:

Statement: "Gerard's voice sucked."

Response: Since that is a matter of opinion, here is mine...MC was previously a comedy actor. Gerry Butler has done many different genres. Seriously. High, squeaky, comedic voice vs. deep, emotional, human voice...hmm.

Statement: "His deformity wasn't bad enough." (and you still think that sunburn joke is so original.)

Response: Think about the time period. People back then were not phangirls who know about science and have probably seen worse. Those people were very religious and thought any deformity (especially of the face) was a curse of the Devil. Also, the stage version was made for distance, so the far-away audience could see it better. The movie has close-ups, which doesn't require such dramatic make-up.

Statement: "Emmy Rossum looked like a goldfish/deer in the headlights."

Response: Erik is supposed to be entrancing her, luring her in. She doesn't have many thoughts. Also, if you thought you had seen an angel, you'd be staring too. And Sarah stared more than Emmy Rossum did. At least Emmy Rossum looked more entranced and seduced than Sarah Brightman—Sarah Brightman just looked shocked. (I would be shocked too if MC was feeling up my boobs.)

Statement: "Emmy Rossum was too young."

Response: Hello! She's sixteen in all versions! Of course she's going to be young!

Statement: "Gerry Butler was too muscular."

Response: He travels five flights of stairs to get anywhere; he can climb ropes, AND has the capacity to kill a person. I think a person who could do all of that would be very well-built.

Statement: "Gerard Butler was too tan."

Response: Did you notice how dark the Phantom was at the fair as a child? He already had a dark complexion, which he cannot change, no matter how long he stays underground. And I personally would rather him be "too tan" than covered in so much white make-up (MC!!) that you can't tell the difference between the mask and the rest of his face.

Statement: "That movie caused the entire Phantom world to turn into screaming teenage girls who can't spell for crap and write dumb stories.”

Response: Oh really? Just because you are a glorified Leroux-thumper or MC-fan doesn't mean your stories are automatically a gift from God. Some of those fans write poorly too. It depends on the person, not their preferences.

Statement: "You're stupid if you like that movie."

Response: You're stupid if you think this entire paragraph was directed specifically to you.

Rant 2 - The High School Musical Series

It is a totally retarded waste of the minds of this generation. They could be listening to real music (cough- Phantom -cough) instead of rotting their brains with this shit. The people who created it deserve to be attacked by hordes and mobs of Phangirls and Raoulgirls alike for this excerpt from the script.

Chad: Look, you're a hoops dude. Not a musical singer person. Have you ever seen Michael Crawford on a cereal box?
Troy: Who's Michael Crawford?
Chad: Exactly my point. He was the "Phantom of the Opera" on Broadway. Now my mom, she's seen that musical 27 times, and she put Michael Crawford's picture in our refrigerator. Not on it. IN it. So my point is, if you play basketball, you'll end up on the cereal box. If you sing in musicals, you'll end up in my mom's refrigerator.

I think that the creators of this monstrosity called High School Musical should be slowly Punjabbed to death by the Phangirls while simultaneously being bitch-slapped to death by the Raoulgirls, then burn in hell in an eternal torture where they will continue to be slowly Punjabbed and bitch-slapped to death by the Phangirls and Raoulgirls. Death to HSM! DIE! YOU RETARDS, DIE!! Also, if you play basketball, you end up on the celebrity drug train. And the cereal box, but more importantly, the drug train. But not everybody!! Just wanted to make a point here.

Rant 3 - Twilight

Another thing I hate is Twilight. That shitty saga is the death of me, I daresay! And it's the goddamn death of a genre I am quite fond of.

My Top Ten Reasons Why Twilight Sucks

10. Sadly, I think the overly simple and cliché writing is what makes the book so appealing. Cracking open a thesaurus doesn't make you a novelist.

9. These are the worst vampires in history. They call themselves "vegetarian" vampires, feeding off animals instead of humans. Where did they gain this conscience? Why do they care if people die? They're vampires!

8. I want to hit Bella. Not only is the character of Bella lacking any sort of emotional depth, but she allows herself to fall into the arms of a fucking vampire. She also proceeds to continue a bizarre codependent relationship with him,"I love you … but stay away from me … but come here anyway."

7. I want to hit Edward. Mostly because he refuses to end Bella's life by finally feasting on the blood he's wanted for so long, and thereby, ending my misery.

6. Edward is sooooooooooooooooo hot! OMG! Edward is sooooo freakin' dreamy. You know how I know? Because Meyer makes hundreds of references to his beauty in the book. All the while, he lives up to being like most hot guys - completely vacant of personality.

5. Vampires sparkle! Who knew vampires were so flamboyant? Edward leads Bella to the top of a mountain, where he proceeds to take off his shirt to show her why he can't go in the sun. He's sparkly!

4. Edward tells Bella to hop on his back, looking back and telling her "you better hang on, spider monkey," because he's going to fly her above the trees and stare at her among the branches.

3. The filmmakers went so far as to edit out a potentially risky Muse lyric in their song "Supermassive Black Hole." The opening line of the song, "Oh baby, don't you know I suffer? Oh baby, can you hear me moan?" was edited down only to the first question. Because you can only moan during sex, you know.

2. Meyer clearly thinks she's Bella. The plain, average character has five hot guys after her at any given time. Why? Because she's so virtuous and plain! Guys love that! Meyer would know.

1. Bella sucks. And she's not even a vampire. She has no problem being a "strong" little sassy pants toward her parents, but she can't walk out the door without being victimized and therefore saved by the sparkly Edward.

Bella And Edward Insulting

-Reasons Why Jake Is Better Than Edward-
1. Edward glitters. Not sparkles, glitters. Attacked by Tinkerbell? Or a two-year-old with superglue and permanent glitter? Who knows. Glitter isn't cool, it's babyish.
2. Edward's a walking cooler. Make him hold a soda for a couple minutes, and it's like you refrigerated it.
3. Jake makes you melt.
4. Jake is a human's best friend.
5. Edward is the least courteous dinner guest ever. He pukes everything he eats.
6. Edward has a constant desire to kill you.
7. Jake would be the best boyfriend ever to a girl who could never have a pet. "Look, Mom, Jakey's a puppy!"
8. Jake can be anywhere anytime and maintain an impression of normality, whereas Edward can't. Because he glitters.

-Reasons Why Bella Is A Stupid, Shallow Idiot-
1. She's willing to make Edward almost kill himself.
2. She's so crazed with Edward that she jumps off a cliff to hear his voice.
3. She loves Edward. See the above list of "Why Jake Is Better Than Edward."
4. She only loves Edward, because he's hot.
5. She completely disregards everything and everyone else on the planet and is set to "orbit around Edward."
6. She's willing to endanger others to no end, so long as she gets Edward.
7. She manages to somehow stay alive for four books despite many attempts to kill her. Only idiots can do that. Idiots and heroes. Bella is CLEARLY not a hero.
