@cuddlesforerik I Am Honored.

Okay, so. This man is literally my hero now.

That hand in the pocket..I am just so full of respect at this moment.

This is the most important thing turkey has ever done besides volleyball and cem karaca

Lerik giving Christine few organ play lesson's because I've been thinking a lot about it

At least you need some stuff to do when you're locked in the theatre basement for a two week's with girl of your dream or with madman

If you get it, be my friend. Seriously please be my friend.

Who. Was. The. Genius.

This.

rip Raskolnikov you would've loved self check-out lines at the grocery store

Not just obsession, not just lust, people. That man was in LOVE. “…and love of the most exquisite kind.” What else could have prompted him to give up his one hope for life? It was an act of selflessness, aka divine love. Just read “The End of the Phantom’s Love Story,” I beg you; just look at that forehead kiss.

(Don’t even get me started about the plain gold ring.)

The Phantom of the Opera IS a love story btw. It's inherently a story about love. A lot of people still find it hard to accept it, probably because they're busy with their "I'm smarter than this beloved classic" Edgy Hot Take, this is why it's always important to remind.

It's a story about a man that, because he was abused and denied of love his entire life, he was forced to live with everything he knew about: survival.

It's a story about a man that craved so much for love, that he thought he could buy, or force it, throught talent and lies.

It's a story about compassion, redemption, and most importantly, love. Because Erik loved Christine. The ending is impactful because he loved her. His love for her didn't make him immune to be obsessive nor to hurt her. And if you don't believe Erik loved Christine, you're the one that misunderstood the relationships between these characters and why the story is the way it is in the first place.

Try to draw the skeleton man.

Any other lit nerds out there always associate this quote with Erik?

“Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth.”

Crime and Punishment, Fyodor Dostoyevsky

The more I love mankind in general, the less I love people in particular, that is, individually, as separate persons...I often went so far as to think passionately of serving mankind, and, it may be, would really have gone to the cross for people if it were somehow suddenly necessary, and yet I am incapable of living in the same room with anyone even for two days, this I know from experience. As soon as someone is there, close to me, his personality oppresses my self-esteem and restricts my freedom. In twenty-four hours I can begin to hate even the best of men: one because he takes too long eating his dinner, another because he has a cold and keeps blowing his nose.

Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

Literally read and watched C&P after a breakup because I needed him. My mom heard me from the other room: “Come, Rodya. Let’s suffer together.”

"My child is fine."

"Your child's comfort character is Raskolnikov."
