why buquet had to die
Erik: (in disguise) I’ve heard that the Phantom of the Opera has an 8-pack, that the Phantom of the Opera is shredded.
Joseph Buquet: The Phantom of the Opera is a punk ass bitch.
Things you need to understand about Phantom of the Opera:
- It actually has a happy ending
- Platonic love is just as valid as romantic love
- I’m serious please for the love of Leroux don’t let alw’s fanfiction teach you that unless you have sex with a person you don’t love them
- Christine loves Raoul very much and your anti-Raoul posts are very likely also anti-Christine.
- I’m serious about this too, stop making anti-Christine posts
- Regardless of who you ship Christine with from a romantic point of view, that shouldn’t invalidate the love she has for other characters and certainly doesn’t mean she takes pleasure in seeing whoever she chose not to marry dead or suffering
- Leroux’s novel is about all the ways in which people can love each other: sibling love, father-daughter love, random strangers ending up as close as family (strange choice of words, but I’m talking about Valerius taking in Papa Daaé and Christine), platonic love, romantic love, all the love. It would be a shame to reduce the whole novel at the “who’s this girl gonna marry?” kind of question.
PHANTOM OF THE OPERA #19 Posters of Paris
A nice break from doing bunch of paintings and drawings! Posters are mainly inspired by Mucha, Jules Chéret and other artists from similar time period.
OKAY BUT do you think Erik has ever TRIPPED when lurking around in the opera house.
Like just imagine someone minding their own business and the hearing a sudden muffled THUD followed by an “AW FUCK” coming from the walls.
