Of Gods and Ghosts

In case you couldn't tell, Loki and Erik are currently duking it out for the position of The Artist's Favorite Fictional Antihero (for the record, Erik will always take precedence, but Loki's trailing millimeters behind). Fandom differences aside, the two are remarkably similar--rapier wits, a penchant for causing destruction, misanthropy, Shakespearean monologues, Norse roots ("Erik" IS Scandinavian, after all), genius intellects, a talent for illusions and magic, slicked-back black hair, killer cheekbones, and impeccable taste. Not to mention the whole "I am the monster parents tell their children about at night" thing. And the ability to love strong women, e.g. Frigga and Christine. I could keep going. I seriously could. Little wonder why I fell in love with Loki. He reminds me so much of Erik.

God forbid if these two actually met, though. The world would blow up within five seconds. 

I used references of the equally impeccably-dressed Tom Hiddleston for this. Love that guy.

Phantom of the Opera belongs to Gaston Leroux.
Loki belongs to Marvel.
