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.

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 Erik seems to have. 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. 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. Erik Erik Erik Erik Erik Erik Erik Erik Erik Erik Erik Erik Erik Erik Erik Erik Erik Erik Erik Erik Erik Erik Erik Erik Whadda ya mean, I have a phantom addiction? I Am... I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian. I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman. I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights. We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time. I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room. I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me. I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again. I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear. We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men. I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me. I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman. I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman. I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male. I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men. I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that. I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual. I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me. I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind. I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love. I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male. Re-post this if you believe homophobia is wrong. Please do your part to end it.

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? 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.

You're clean and I'm dirty. Do you really see the world in only those two colors? I see the world how it is: in shades of gray. Nothing is totally clean or dirty! Those who squabble over Good and Evil Sects merely do for their own self-interests!" "People consider fear to be a weakness. But harnessing that fear can one day make you a mighty warrior!" "To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe." "To be a literal person, you must know the story written by the man as well as the story behind the man." "Remember, that if thou marry for beauty, thou bindest thyself all thy life for that which perchance will neither last nor please thee one year; and when thou hast it, it will be to thee of no price at all; for the desire dieth when it is attained, and the affection perisheth when it is satisfied." "The more I study religions, the more I am convinced that man never worshiped anything but himself." "Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music." "The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis." "If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner. " "Vampires are sexy to a woman perhaps because the fantasy is similar to that of the man on the white horse sweeping her off to paradise." "Some people are so afraid do die that they never begin to live." "What is history but a fable agreed upon?" "There are such beings as vampires, some of us have evidence that they exist. Even had we not the proof of our own unhappy experience, the teachings and the records of the past give proof enough for sane people." "If it's natural to kill, how come men have to go into training to learn how?" "War will never cease until babies begin to come into the world with larger cerebrums and smaller adrenal glands. " "It is a scientific fact that your body will not absorb cholesterol if you take it from another person's plate." "Speak when you are angry, and you will make the best speech you will ever regret." "I love America more than any other country in this world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually." "Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime." "The worst thing in this world, next to anarchy, is government." "I have never met a vampire personally, but I don't know what might happen tomorrow." "In every aspect of our lives, we are always asking ourselves, How am I of value? What is my worth? Yet I believe that worthiness is our birthright." "Whatever you fear most has no power - it is your fear that has the power." | |||||||
