“I can fix him” I couldn’t fix him and I don’t want to. I think he grew prone to biting and scratching in order to get by in a harsh world, and to me his resilience is part of what makes him so beautifully himself. I could be kind to him, though. I could show him gentleness. I could, slowly but surely, in the same way one earns the trust of a skittish stray cat, convince him that my touch will never come accompanied by pain. That, around me, he can allow himself to be soft. To relax. I could be the one he associates with warmth and safety, the one he longs to be held by after a hard day. I could be his home.

At the bridge Javert jumped of. No rest for the dude.

[ghastlychamber]

why did we all collectively decide javert jumped off the pont au change and not, say, pont notre dame. I'm literally losing my mind pls

[ghastlychamber]

so who was gonna tell me javert (possibly?) jumped off a quay and not a bridge. have i been reading this wrong the entire time or am i a booby?

[ant-amadan]

i think that the creature from Frankenstein should have met Bishop Myriel from Les mis. I feel this would have ended well. The creature would get a father figure/guy who is nice to him. Myriel would get someone who can get things from the top shelf for him

STEP FOUR: give them a tired puppy-eye look that resembles hope (even though you barely know what that word even means) as you praise them for being vigilant and keeping watch in the night (while at the same time comparing yourself to them)

STEP FIVE: ask God to deliver that stupid ex-convict in front of you

I’m convinced people who don’t think the 2025 Dracula is just a remake of the 90s Dracula movie just haven’t seen more than 2 Dracula movies. Not even just straying away from the book, most movies don’t have the same aesthetics and story structure and back story for dracula.

[ghastlychamber]

i don't understand people who hated the film just because it "isn't accurate" so??? as if most Dracula movies are accurate. as if we keep rewatching the Hammer Dracula films for the accuracy and not for Christopher Lee & Peter Cushing serving cunt while fighting each other. as if we love the 1992 movie for the accuracy and not for the gothic romance. it's a romantic and light-hearted adaptation, it's literally labelled a "love tale". it's a beautiful film, no need to dig too deeply

[klausscrimshaw]

Phantom of the opera soft and not accurate edition at all

[autismal24601]

Telepathically sending all of my period cramps to javert today

[flea-palace]

we are getting closer no?

[itsalongwaytotipperary]

Master And Commander: The Far Side of The World (2003) is the kind of film that makes you say 'i need to read a 21-book unfinished series about these characters'

[viktor-frankenstein]

I'm so sorry if you've had this request before but could you draw javert as the phantom of the opera? 🙏🏻🖤 i love the way you draw javert SO MUCH

Thank youuuu

I have no idea what happens in POTO so I just referenced a book cover I hope that’s okay 😂 (One day I’ll watch the musical so no spoilers)

[ghastlychamber]

saw this the moment i woke up, feeling blessed today 🔥
