I'm 
 A 
 ERIK LOVER!!!! And I'm proud... 
 I love the Phantom of the Opera, i watch and read almost every constantly. I think Gaston Leroux is a brilliant human being. I'm just going to show you my unexplainable feelings for this beautiful masterpiece. 
 READING THE FIRST FEW CHAPTERS 
 How i feel about Erik (the Phantom) 
 Christine- 
 Chrisik/Eristine 
 Bitchy Raoul- 
 The managers- 
 Erik being rejected- 
 KNOWING THAT CHRISTINE KISSED ERIK AT THE END- 
 I DIED many MANY TIMES- 
 The plot was poetic and darkly seductive 
 WHEN THE BOOK FINISHED................... 
 OKAY so it wasnt well explained but i love it sooooo much!!!!!!!!! I hated Raoul though, and the managers were just son of bitches. PAY THE POOR GUY 20,000 FRANCS greedy little shits. 
 I imagined Erik to be some grotesque looking skeleton 
 VISUAL AID IN GIFS- 
 Instead when i watched the 2004 movie, I get some sexy looking hunks that LITERALLY LOVE (Mr.Butler) 
 Isn't he good looking????? Don't judge me... Emmy Rossum was perfect and they literally made love every scene and Past the Point of No Return turned up my body temperature wayyyyyy up. 
 I'm a huge fan and i will always remain a Phan. Phantom of the opera will always be my favorite classic, Leroux beat The Grim Bro's and Hans Christian anderson with this one. Disagree if you please, but HE SERIOUSLY DID! I'm sure all the other books i own look up to P.O.T.O 'cause i treat it like a king. 
 Okay lets wrap this one up: 
 -I hate Raoul, he's a bitch 
 -I treasure Erik, he the best thing that's ever happened to me. 
 -Christine is a poor decision maker and professional dream crusher 
 -Erik and Christine are my #1 ship 
 -I love all the versions of this novel, whether book or media 
 -FUCK ALL THE OTHER CHARACTERS AND WHY CAN'T ERIK RUN OFF INTO THE SUNSET. 
 Wait, he's sexier in the dark. 
 LISTEN CLOSELY CHILDREN, WHICHEVER BOOKS YOU RECOMMEND AND LOVE OR THAT I LOVE WILL NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER BE CHOSEN OVER P.O.T.O. Because Erik is bae so is the entire story. 
 -Erik is real, no doubt about it (don't break my dreams) 
 -also i fantasize about the entire story constantly. 
 READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
