Have you heard about the gofundme thing and the decision to appeal?

Yes, I just did. I’m still shocked to say the least.

I was away for a couple of days, didn’t check any sources at the time and when I was notified I had no idea how to react- I still don’t. 

As someone who has lost a loved one in the family and has seen another individual bring up the lost one to others just to manipulate them and change their perception of the lost one’s family, and twist things to their advantage, I find it disgusting, and pure evil. It brings up very dangerous thoughts of what you’d to them if you saw them face to face.

I hope that piece of shit and his “friends” know that a lot of times, the dead can hear you.

Here’s a drink

🍵

[he is clearly suspicious of the drink]

Do you really think I'm going to drink this? You are a completely faceless stranger. I didn't trust Eito's drink. What makes you think I'll trust this?

[he is much too paranoid to consume anything anyone gives him]

[It's honestly quite amusing the lengths he'll go to to avoid being harmed.]

From The Complete Phantom of the Opera by George Perry, 1987

The Introduction of The Phantom of the Opera is pure brilliance. Leroux writes in the first person, signs it G.L., his own initials. He intertwines details that are real, details that are convincing, and total fiction such that the reader cannot really tell what might actually exist under the Palais Garnier. 

Realizing that G.L. is not Leroux and that the Introduction is not an author’s note, but rather the beginning of the strange tale, was a revelation to me. Leroux begs us to actively disbelieve him. And we should.

Leroux’s style birthed a myth that continues to confound our sense of reality. We want to believe Erik was a real person. Or at least, that Leroux really did find a skeleton down there, didn’t he? And if the lake is real, then isn’t the Communard dungeon real too? The one where G.L. saw the initials R.C. scratched into the wall? It all really happened, didn’t it?

In the above page from The Complete Phantom of the Opera, author George Perry seems to believe that Leroux really did find a skeleton down there and that the body really was somehow connected to the Commune. But using Leroux as a reference to back-up Leroux’s own claims is treading on unstable ground. 

It is canon that there is a Communard dungeon beneath the Garnier. That doesn’t make it history.

When a statistic says almost X out of Y is blah blah, I immediately don't trust it. Like 'almost' is a relative term, like a we'd consider a few feet to be 'almost,' but to an ant it's days. To a millionaire almost could be a couple million dollars to me its a two bucks.
