gaston leroux being the most unserious writer moments in TPOTO:

-raoul scaling down a tree to see Christine while she’s roaming the moors at night mid breakdown

-one of the opera staff claims that christine has friends plotting against Carlotta, to which another staff member goes “christine has friends?”

-gaston describes a toad coming out of Carlotta’s mouth and then goes “lmao I’m just messing that didn’t actually happen” what a troll

-the unnamed narrator holding Richard’s hand for and I quote “a few minutes” because he saw the opera ghost and got scared

-raoul straight up crying during a performance because christine sounds nervous

How to say “I love you” in Blue Lock

I don’t really want to play soccer, but being with you isn’t a pain, so it’s fine.

Now that I can fight without you, being with you is even more fun

And then there’s this asshole...

I made it this far because of you. Since you allowed me to play soccer freely, I’ve grown this strong on Bastard München. But I can’t climb any higher that way. I figured that out in this match, I no longer need the freedom you give me. Forget about me, Ness. Find yourself a new king. It’s easier for me to live in restriction.

The scorpion and the grasshopper always hold a unique meaning to fans of Gaston Leroux's original Phantom novel. Erik's ultimatum to Christine forced her to choose between marrying her ghoulish captor, or deny him at the peril of everyone in the Opera House. It was implied that the grasshopper was connected to the stores of gunpowder Erik had wired to blow the building sky high.

I recently found this brilliant, antique Japanese bronze grasshopper figurine, and knew I had to acquire it. It just arrived from Japan, and is a brilliant piece. Paired with an antique Chinese scorpion and model caskets, it makes a beautiful addition to my Phantom collection.
