“Anyone who has seen a stage or screen adaptation of this novel knows that sex seeps from the pages just as surely as it does from Dracula or Frankenstein. One commentator described Erik himself as "a walking phallus” who frightens people with his vulgar sensuality. Raoul is certainly very uncomfortable with Christine’s autoerotic raptures - fits of orgasmic euphoria that she experiences when she sings for Erik - and she herself is open about Erik’s spiritual union with her, claiming that “His spirit entered mine and breathed harmony down my throat.” Just before the Unmasking scene she finds herself lost in ecstasy watching Erik play the organ with a lover-like vigor. Her actual reason for removing the mask is not to see his secret. In a line removed from the most common English translation (1911), she claims that she “needed” to watch his face “which was unquestionably being transfigured by the ecstasies of eternal art.” In other words - like many lovers - she was drawn to watch her partner’s face contorting in the pleasure-pain of climax. … much of Erik’s villainy has to do with Victorian male uneasiness with the female orgasm: Erik not only encourages Christine to enjoy herself (so to speak) - he teaches her how to reach new levels of passion, how to experience heavenly pleasures that transcend her mundane experiences. Symbolically and literally, Erik coaches Christine in self-love in a manner so captivating and exciting that millions of “phans” continue to consider the story of the skull-faced stalker wallowing in a swampy dungeon to be the sexiest, most arousing romance in print.“

– M. Grant Kellermeyer (Old Style Tales’ Phantom of the Opera: Annotated and Illustrated)

I deeply appreciate these tags

I love this. But to be srsbus. The Phantom of the Opera is a Gothic Romance and having Erik be in the cellar is a classic move of pushing and repressing sexuality down. And he takes Christine down there and music is symbolic of her sexual awakening. Meanwhile she’s always taking Raoul up to the roof, up towards heaven where it is safe and chaste and pure. Yet even here she cannot escape her repressed sexuality because Erik is there hiding and watching and she cannot even tell Raoul that she does not love Erik.

Adding to this one of my closest friends saw the 2004 movie in theaters with her then long term boyfriend and he went on about how Music of the Night was ruined. She having never heard anything Phantom before was like it wasn’t that bad. On the way home from the movie he played the original cast recording for her. After hearing Michael Crawford she replied, "Oh I get it now. This whole song is just please look at my penis.”

Tina Turner, resilient singer hailed as the ‘Queen of Rock and Roll,’ dies at 83

One of my early career goals was to become the first Black woman to fill stadiums around the world,” she told NBC. “At the time, it seemed impossible. But I never gave up, and I’m so happy I made that dream come true.

Tina was 83.

Rest In Peace.

I think it’s funniest if Luke and Anakin have completely opposite opinions on sand actually

Anakin: I don’t like sand, it’s course and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere UGH

Luke: I like sand. Reminds me of home. The good old days when all I had to worry about was not being allowed to go to tosche station to pick up some power converters :’) I would happily take a sand bath

In conclusion, there are two kinds of Skywalkers

It makes it funnier to know its canon too tudijdjsjdjxjd

The assassin girl is one of the best running characters (of this webcomic that is frequently not work safe, if you needed the warning) and I’m glad to know she canonically lives to old age but keeps on assassining

How?

How would you know those were even there?

dude, i’ve known a few geologists and i’m convinced most of them are fucking wizards. eyes like eagles, a weird sixth sense, and the ability to tell the age of sediment by taste alone.
