i need to make a master post of my interpretation of the phantom,,, i've been thinking of a logical backstory for her and i think i got it but it's sad and painful and it makes me feel bad even just to think about it :^( either way i rly want to write down my hcs of her one of these days 👉👈

#txt #im almost scared to talk about the backstory i gave her bc its Rly messed up but also i think its pretty realistic 😭 unfortunately #basically she was born with something unique but harmless about her appearance #but ppl are awful and mistook her uniqueness for something Bad that needs to be ''cured'' #so when she was a baby she had her caretaker (i hc she was in an orphanage) pour acid on her little baby face 😬 #she doesnt remember this #so as far as she knows shes always looked the way she does #but thats not true and sadly she will never know the truth #i think ppl genuinely thought she was possessed and stuff when she was little bc she was very quiet and still and ''unnerving'' #but she was literally just autistic. ppl are just awful to children and punish them for being themselves #this happened to me as well ive had adults call me possessed and creepy and whatnot Just bc im autistic 😬 #so yea ill be projecting that onto erica bc i can #shes genuinely just a victim to me and she deserves to heal #anyway her mother loved her so much. unfortunately her mom passed away when erica was a baby #which is why she ended up in an orphanage #while her mother saw her child's unique appearance and personality as something beautiful and lovable #her caretakers at the orphanage saw those same things as something Bad and Evil #it gets worse though :') but ill save it for when i actually write the master post #again i apologise for giving her such a painful backstory but like .. i wanted there to be an explanation for everything so yea :')
