Someone with the hugest brain on tumblr said that Ardyn Izunia sounded EXACTLY like the Phantom from the Movie, so i gave the OST a listen for the first time in years and cried for, like, the entire time I drew this. I wish I was kidding.
I just!!!!! feel so much abt the character parallels between ardyn and the phantom!! Both are terribly tragic villains in their respective stories, and I'm very easily moved by music, so <:'']
