A compilation of Charles dance’s Erik being the wittiest of all Phantoms
Charles: I’m twice your age
Me: …
-
Charles: I ask you to out with me, because I want you. You’re young enough to be my daugter, and I don’t know how to deal with you. But I do know that you’ve blotted out the past … If you don’t believe me, say so, and I’ll move on.
Me: *don’t scream*
Charles: I only stayed because of you. Do you want me to go?
Me: *HELL NO, HELL FUCKIN NO!*
-
Charles: No, you little fool. I’m asking you to marry me… I’m sorry. I’m being rather a brute to you… Say yes, quickly, we can drive to Venice for the honeymoon
Me: WHY MY LIFE SUCKS SO HARD!?!?!?!?
-
Charles: We should have stayed in Italy
Me: OOOOH C'MON!
-
Mrs De Winter: I love you so much
Charles: Do you? Do you?
Me: HELL YES, ME TOO, WHY DO NOT YOU KNOW? WHY I STAY HERE AND I’M NOT IN THE SCREEN?! FUCKIN WHYYY?!
-
Charles: Did I do something very selfish marrying you? Perhaps there are too many years between us. You should have married a boy of your own age. Not somebody like me, with half his life behind him
Me: BUUUUULLSHIT, FUCKIN BULLSHIT!
*cry so hard, my god*
*cry in a corner*
*cry in a corner alone*
*cry as if there was no tomorrow*
i don’t go to this fandom anymore but my personal headcanon for peter walter the sixth is just jerma
Watching the POTO (2004) for the first time and I’m starting to notice just how childlike and wounded Erik is. Like the parts especially when he takes Christine to his lair and you see this little guy:
He puts the music box on to wake her up as he’s working and the dolls he’s made of Christine onstage. Just a grown man who still has that young boy inside of him, hidden away from the world, who’s wanted to share his own little world with someone. How lonely life must be down in the lair so he’s created a fantasy of his own to keep going. Oh god, this reminds me so much of my life in college when I didn’t really have anyone to be close to and it just hits so hard for me tbh.
Although honestly a part of this is just so wrong because Erik is isolating Christine from all she’s known, just to subscribe to a fantasy and an ideal version of his own desires. Mainly it’s all ego combined with loneliness, but damn this monkey and all these details are going to be the death of me 😭
