No One... Never... But Her...

So, one of the horses has got to be César, right.

Michael Kinnucan, The Gods Show Up

Yes, in fact

you ever just going about your day and then the weight of 'he had a heart that could have held the entire empire of the world and, in the end, he had to content himself with a cellar' hits you and you want to launch yourself over a cliff due to the sheer emotion

my version of book Erik

without the mask

He's a depressed mess here 😊

At first I wanted him to look as close to the book as possible, but then I just couldn't resist giving him this haircut and changing a few other things because why not.

I plan on drawing other characters and more of Erik too, so hopefully I'll have enough time lol.

Redemption.

The more I love mankind in general, the less I love people in particular, that is, individually, as separate persons...I often went so far as to think passionately of serving mankind, and, it may be, would really have gone to the cross for people if it were somehow suddenly necessary, and yet I am incapable of living in the same room with anyone even for two days, this I know from experience. As soon as someone is there, close to me, his personality oppresses my self-esteem and restricts my freedom. In twenty-four hours I can begin to hate even the best of men: one because he takes too long eating his dinner, another because he has a cold and keeps blowing his nose.

Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

I had to go back.

Erik, you can't make a love confession less intense by saying:

"I love you. We don't have to talk about it. Actually, I won't talk about it. Don't bring it up. Unless you want to. No, you don't want to. Let's just do music."
