❛ I wish you would have told me. ❜

❛ You didn’t tell your sisters what you saw. ❜

❛ Some things can’t be told. You live them or you don’t. ❜

❛ I’m sorry. ❜

❛ Mom says that a house is like a body. ❜

❛ All this time we tried to get into this room, now we can’t get the fuck out! ❜

❛ She saved me. ❜

❛ I don’t feel anything. ❜

❛ I’m scared. That’s all I am. ❜

❛ There’s nothing left. I’m only scared. ❜

❛ It’s just a house. ❜

❛ It’s very different in the night. It’s different in the dark. ❜

❛ What if I dream that you kill us? ❜

❛ Do you think there’s a thing worse than that? ❜

❛ I don’t think there’s anything worse than that. ❜

❛ Did you just punch me in the boob? ❜

❛ Someone ask you what you think? ❜

❛ I’m so proud of you. You’re doing so well. ❜

❛ Keep it up. ❜

❛ I’m glad you’re here. ❜

❛ I should have made more of an effort with you. ❜

❛ You tried as best you could. ❜

❛ I should have met you halfway. ❜

❛ People fuck up. ❜

❛ I guess you don’t get that, you don’t really get it until you fuck up. ❜

❛ You like to fix things. ❜

❛ You’re good at fixing things. I keep hearing this about you, is that right? ❜

❛ I’m not so sure anymore. ❜

❛ Who do you think did this? ❜

❛ It’s not as bad as it is in your head. ❜

❛ Most of what people say at a funeral is a wish. ❜

❛ Now you stand there and you talk about ghosts and spirits. ❜

❛ Is she okay? ❜

❛ How do you know that? ❜

❛ It’s a twin thing. ❜

❛ This house is bad. ❜

❛ These will help with the cold. ❜

❛ What are you, um, looking at? ❜

❛ She fucking knew better. And she did it anyway. ❜

❛ We’re tougher than other kids. ❜

❛ We make ourselves really safe. And no one ever gets in. ❜

❛ Just because you care about them doesn’t mean they won’t burn you. ❜

❛ You’re scared. I can tell. ❜

❛ Be sure to let your imagination get the best of you. That’s the first step. ❜

❛ Imagine the worst thing possible. Assume it’s true. Then go from there. ❜

❛ I’m drawing boundaries, which is something you should look in to. ❜

❛ How long do we have to live here? ❜

❛ When we die, we turn into stories; and every time someone tells one of those stories, it’s like we’re still here for them. ❜

❛ We’re all stories in the end. ❜

❛ I love you completely, and you loved me the same. The rest is confetti. ❜

❛ Someone should’ve told her she didn’t have to try this hard. ❜

❛ Pandas don’t eat macaroni. ❜

❛ And I’m just- I’m just floating in this ocean of nothing, and I wonder if this is it, if this is what death is. ❜

❛ Journeys end in lovers meeting. ❜

❛ I’ve seen a lot of ghosts. Just not the way you think. ❜

❛ To learn what we fear is to learn who we are. ❜

❛ Horror defies our boundaries and illuminates our souls. ❜

❛ A ghost can be a lot of things. A memory, a daydream, a secret. ❜

❛ When you’re little, you learn how to see things that aren’t there. And when you grow up, you learn how to make them real. ❜

❛ Fear and guilt are sisters. ❜

❛ No live organism can continue to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality. ❜

❛ Most times, a ghost is a wish. ❜

❛ All I could think of when I got a look at the place from the outside was what fun it would be to stand out there and watch it burn down. ❜

❛ Fear is the relinquishment of logic, the willing relinquishing of reasonable patterns. ❜

❛ I feel a little clearer just now. ❜

❛ I feel like I’ve been here before. ❜

❛ You have to live. ❜

❛ I don’t know how to do this without you. ❜

❛ There’s no without. I am not gone. ❜

❛ I’m scattered into so many pieces, sprinkled on your life like new snow. ❜

❛ There’s so much I want to say to you all. ❜

❛ I’m so sorry our last words were in anger. ❜

❛ I’m sorry if I didn’t listen, and I’m sorry… ❜

❛ It wouldn’t have changed anything. ❜

❛ I loved you completely. And you loved me the same. ❜

❛ What were you feeling before? ❜

❛ I was feeling fear. And… And guilt. ❜

anyway i love christine and u should too.

Anna Karenina & Alexei Vronsky in Anna Karenina. Vronsky story (tv mini-series, Russia, 2017)

[wndrng]

currently  upset  at  7:17   this   morning  thinking  about  the  fact  that  christine’s  greatest  joy  is  music . as  a  child  music  is  instilled  in  christine  as  this  wondrous ,  magical  thing  &  she  travels  with  him  with  that  sort  of  reverence .  but  what  really  messes  me  up  is  that  her  greatest  joy  in  her  youth  becomes  associated  with  fear  in  her  adulthood .  like  in  leroux ,  we  have : 

“ she  acted  throughout  as  though  she  were  no  longer  the  mistress  of  her  own  destiny  and  as  though  she   feared  a  fresh  triumph. ”  &  “  i think  that  i  shall  not  be  far  from  the  truth  if  i  ascribe  her  action  simply  to  fear . yes, i  believe  that  christine  daae  was  frightened  by  what  had happened  to  her.”  

and  in  the  alw  musical  we  have  her  terrified  to  show  the  managers  that  she  is  capable  of  taking  on  hannibal ,  actively  avoiding  il  muto , refusing  don  juan  (  until  she  realizes  that  there  are  lives  at  stake  ) ,  and  the  lyric  “  what  i  once  used  to  dream ,  i  now  dread . ”   like ,  the  thing  that  she  has  loved  most  is  entrenched  in  this  atmosphere  of  fear ,  not  just  of  the  phantom  (  who  we  know  that  she  cares  for  and  respects  )  but  of  the  loss  of  control  that  seems  to  accompany  the  simple  act  of  singing.  and  idk .  i  think  it’s  a  traumatic  thing , on  top  of  christine’s  other  traumas ,  to  experience  the  loss  of  something  so  fundamental  to  who  she  is .  

[wndrng]

hello my loves !  this  is  just  a  side  note  that  while  i  love  duplicates ,  i  will not  be  following  blogs   back  that  use  e.mmy  rossum  as  their  fc  for  christine .  she  was  lovely  in  the  2004  film ,  but  she  was  also  16  and all of  her  resources  for  phantom  are  underaged .  it  is  nothing  personal ,  merely  a  personal  boundary / comfort  thing  !

[wndrng]

@swanlikebeauty​  said  ‘  where  in  the  world  have  you  been  hiding ?  ’

                      THERE  IS  FAR  TOO   MUCH  NOISE .  it  surrounds  her ,  an  insistent  buzzing  in  her  ear .  music  &  murmuring - it  competes  with  the  noise  in  her  head  until  it  aches .  it  is  too  much . she  feels  the  familiar  feeling  of  panic  rise  in  her  chest ,  and  thus  seeks  out  her  escape .  a  subtle exit  from  a  side  door  ,  a  heaving  sigh  of  relief  as  cool  night  air  bites  at  her  cheeks .  christine  does  not  realize  how  long  she  has  been away  from  the  fray  until  it  is  made  obvious  to  her .  she  starts  at  the  voice  of  another ,  before  offering  a  sheepish  smile . 

                    ❛ you  found  me  out .  .  .  though ,  i  don’t  think  i’m  inconspicuous  with  my  exits .      ❜   a  tilt  of  the  head ,  eyes  meeting  those  of  her  companion . her  next  words  fall  from  her  lips  without  much  consideration ,  the  uneasy  musings  of  a mind  that  does  not  cease  in  its  racing .   ❛ do  you  ever  wish  you  could  disappear ?  for  a  while ,  at  least  ?  until  the  world  settles  itself  ? ❜

i really do forget how much leroux meg just...screams.
