What I think about Erik and his looks
Erik is supposed to have a face like a skull and yes he is also not supposed to have a nose. However, looks aren't the only thing that count in a friendship/relationship. In a video I watched I saw somone with no nose and yes it's not a very nice sight. If you realize that physical beauty is only skin deep and that it's the inside that counts, then it is possible to love Erik. As to his possessive/ obssessive behavoir, if you are obssessed with the same thing such as music, then you at least have common ground. Are you sure that once he knows he's loved and that he won't be badly treated that he won't stop being possessive? I think that if All these things are realized then Erik can be loved. I am one of those who wants to see Erik and I know that because or his many talents that I would admire him. I can't say I wouldn't recoil at the first glance I had of his face but I would respect him. That's just what I think. I'd also be interested in the drwings that you have created of Erik from discriptions.
