I like that my boi the Persian is mentioned from the beginning.

The way the ballerinas are described makes wish we got more of them, they are so sweet, especially Meg—one of the things that disappointed me the most when I first read POTO was learning that she and Christine were not bffs.

Idk why Leroux felt the need to follow a quote about how hot La Sorelli was with "btw, she was dumb as fuck," (I am paraphrasing). It never fails to make me laugh, though.

Don't ask me how it would work, but can you imagine them being eachother's adversaries instead of Raoul and Winslow? The levels of cunt that would be reached!!!

Everytime I see Robert Eggers say in interviews that he prefers Mornau's fairytale to Stoker's victorian melodrama, I am more convinced he would not like to adapt POTO.

(And I hear that often because all interviewers ask the same things and Eggers always gives the same answers and tells the same anecdotes, lol.)

The trouble with chasing after recs for fucked up media is that a lot of allegedly fucked up media is enamoured with the idea of being fucked up, but it's not actually fucked up about anything. The form is there, but not the substance. However, there's no way to communicate this to anyone who doesn't already Get It without sounding like a maniac.
