I want to write but I don't know what I want to do sooo here is my headcanonssss

This is things I imagine for my Erik I think about him too much hehe

(Sorta NSFW)

-----------------------------------------------------

-Erik can speak a lot of languages

He has traveled a lot so I bet he could speak a lot of different languages, maybe even learn some for fun. There will be no conversation happening in the opera house that he can't understand. The main ones are French, English, Spanish, German, Italian, and Persian.


-Bisexual

He doesn't have any preferences on gender, just wants to be loved


-Nonbinary (He/they)

He's never really felt too connected to either gender, but he doesn't think about it too much. He enjoys the ghost persona because it's neutral, he's just the opera ghost. Not man nor woman, just Erik. Just human. Erik enjoys masculine terms though


-BOTTOM (really a switch but let me dream)

Okay okay...I feel like it depends on who he is with. Depending on reader's personality it would be different. Butttt he is such a sub, he is soft

If he's with Nadir... SUB. He always does as he's told. 

Christine? Depends. He can be more dominate but in an instant that can change and he'll be putty in Christine's hands

Raoul? He wants to be a top so bad but he just can't. He doesn't want to admit Raoul is the one who takes charge but we know he does 


-He can play pretty much any instrument he wants

Erik is insanely intelligent, mostly in the musical world. If he wanted to learn how to play a new instrument it wouldn't take him long to figure it out. 

His main instruments are organ, piano, and violin but imagine this man on the harp... he would be so elegant 


-Struggles with drugs/drug addict

His mental health is terrible and he finds terrible things to "fix" it. His drug problems started in Persia and from there it only got worse. He enjoys being high to disconnect from his emotions and thoughts. If his partner was concerned about this then he would definitely try to stop 


-Erik is not the best cook

He only makes enough for him to survive, beyond that he doesn't care. Making fancy meals wouldn't be a priority for him unless he was making it as a gift. He rather be working on his music than spending a long time in the kitchen

He definitely struggles with food himself. He won't eat or drink until he absolutely needs it. He doesn't feel worthy of such things. Erik thinks himself as something supernatural or as a monster so sometimes he forgets he needs human things


-Terrible sleeper

This also goes along with the one before this, he forgets he needs to sleep. He will sometimes stay up until he passes out at his desk. He can sleep anywhere though, he sleeps in a coffin so he doesn't care if he is comfortable or not.

Erik wants to work on his music as much as possible so sleep would take too much time out of his day. Secretly he is afraid of sleeping sometimes, he has bad nightmares.


-Very good at drawing

He doesn't draw often but when he does it's very good. Erik is very into architecture so he would spend most of his time sketching intricate designs for buildings. He would also appreciate still life. Erik will draw people too, he will find himself sketching his partner subconsciously. He HATES drawing himself, but if he did he would draw himself without his deformities, who he wants to be


-Wants children but would be too scared to bring it up

He is terrified to have a child and have them coming out with a deformity. If they did he would blame himself everyday. He is scared but he would also love to have a baby with you/love interest. He will definitely warm up to it after some comforting telling him everything will be okay. He would be an amazing father 


-Has a bunch of masks

He likes to switch it up every now and then. It could also depend on how self conscious he's feeling, if he is feeling bad he would prefer a mask to cover his entire face. Depends on emotion too, mans is dramatic 



That's all I got right now, If I think of more maybe I'll do this again hehe
