Description My entry for the "Gender Bender" contest going on in my awesome phantom of the opera club:

Many thanks to my friend, Melissa, who helped me with the idea!

I hope the humor in this is easily understood... if not, basically, it's fine when Christine stands helplessly as Erik ties up Raoul, but isn't it a bit weird for a guy to do the same?

Before the contest was even issued, I had had the idea of switching all the genders of the characters in poto, but never drew anything about it. The Final Lair scene always seemed most comical to me... lines like "Be my guest, mademoiselle!" and "Pitiful creature of darkness..." sound completely stupid when the genders are switched.

Also, here are the names of the characters:

Erik --> Erika
Christine --> Christian
Raoul --> Raoulinda

I had so many other hilarious ideas for this contest, but I just got lazy and decided not to include as many as I could... but if you ever get bored, try going through the whole soundtrack and in your mind, switch the genders around. Instead of the auctioneer yelling "gentlemen!!" he'd shout "ladies!!!" or try to imagine carlos (instead of carlotta) shreiking "those who tangle with donna juanaaaaa!!!!!" at the top of her voice. It's lots and lots of fun.

I hope I didn't just include ideas for future submissions to the contest.... hmmm. please don't steal my ideas, okay? come up with your own.

Me: lol so it's not awkward for her to be turned into a guy.
Sora: Just the fact that boy's are icky.
Me: Oo" But you like Erik.
Sora: -blush- Erik's not a BOY he's a MAN.
Me: ....is that a compliment?

One last observation:

I see you didn't need to change Raoul/Raoulinda's hair at all.

Mominator In reply to ??? [2009-04-21 04:26:20 +0000 UTC]

"Raoulinda"??!

The sad thing is, if the genders HAD been reversed, Erika would never have survived her infancy and we would not have this wonderful story to parody.

Nice feminization of Erik's evening clothes. (Though how impractical would it be to climb the ropes and hover in the flies in a DRESS?) Heck, nice gender reversals period.

Barb (who, believe it or not, searched unsuccessfully for the female version of Raoul just a few days ago.)

DarthxErik In reply to Mominator [2009-04-21 20:18:08 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad you find it humorous.

hmm. I don't see your point exactly. Why wouldn't she survive...?

Oh boy... That would be akward. Anyone who sees up her skirts would get punjabbed, I suppose...
Guys: "She's here! The Phantom of the Opera!!!" -guys whistle-
Erika: "Grrr. Not them again!"

Mominator In reply to DarthxErik [2009-04-22 05:03:38 +0000 UTC]

Why wouldn't an Erika have survived? Because males have always been seen (at least in the past thousand years or so) as more valuable than females. A defective male might be tolerated, but not a defective female. (Think Asia, where even now female infants are sometimes still killed.)

That's how I see it, anyway.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Now I know where YOUR mind has been. The thought of someone looking up Erika's dress never even crossed my mind. I was thinking more along the lines of being hindered by large skirts, legs getting tangled up in the cloth, tripping on the hem, getting the skirts caught on nails, and the like. (Though your idea IS pretty amusing. But if all her undies are black, what would there be to see? )

Wow! My friend Taco and I actually made the musical so that every male part is played by a female, and so forth. When the play was done, ALW would stand up in the audience, tears glistening in his eyes because he was so moved, and say 'I'm making this into a movie!' And then the girl playing Erik would run away from a mob of phangirls screaming, "DON'T YOU GET IT?!?!?! I'M A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Yeah, that would be funny. And a really different approach.
I'm gonna have to listen to my soundtrack and switch the genders in my head. Oh yeah. I lost it.

"Christian's" expression is perfect! And I can just hear him: "What are you doing?! " and then wildly failing his arms around helplessly.

And then "Erika" just stares blankly, thinking, "I'm fighting over HIM?"

So cute, as usual! Good luck in the contest!

I LOVE THIS!!!!!

Haha, I'm ATTEMPTING one with Carlotta and Christine, the whole, "Serrafimo, away with this pretense!" bit. Lol. Carlotta's a boy, and Christine is a boy who plays a girl but must disguise herself as a boy. Hehe. The "Gender Bender" theme was practically ASKING that scene to be submitted!
