I love how every little detail in Gaston Leroux's Phantom of the opera can be explained, except for the rat catcher. dont worry about that.

you met me at a very phantom of the opera time of my life

[fictionadventurer]

The Phantom of the Opera: I was born with facial deformities that are so horrific that even my own mother couldn't bear to look at me.

Me: So that's why you have to live as an outcast in the basements of the opera house?

The Phantom, who has been an admired performer, palace architect, royal executioner, and chief contractor of the opera house who is able to go out in public with no alteration to his face except a false nose and mustache: No, that's a separate choice that I've made.

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
