Submitting follower by form

Question

Getting strange error in rails when saving a follower:

Error on Page after submitting follower form

I execute all of the commands in the followers#create method in the rails console and it works. But for some reason when I execute the form on the page, it does not seem to save the user then I get this error on the page. Any ideas? Not sure if it's got something to do with my routes, so I'll post them as well.

Routes.rb:

TwitterApp::Application.routes.draw do
    get "followers/show"
    get "followers/new"
    get "dashboard/new"
    get "users/new"
    get "users/edit"
    get "sessions/new"
    get "add_follower" => "followers#new", :as => "add_follower"
    #get '/followers/:id', to: 'followers#show', as: 'followers'

    get '/like/:id', to: 'followers#like', as: 'like'
    get "log_out" => "sessions#destroy", :as => "log_out"
    get "" => "sessions#new", :as => "log_in"
    get "sign_up" => "users#new", :as => "sign_up"
    get "settings" => "users#edit", :as => "settings"
    get "dashboard" => "dashboard#new", :as => "dashboard"
    root :to => "sessions#new"
    resources :users
    resources :sessions
    resources :followers
end

Follower Form:

<%= @follower_to_save.inspect %>
                        <h3>Add Follower: </h3>
                        <%= form_for @follower do |f| %>
                            <% if @follower.errors.any? %>
                                <div class="error_messages">
                                    <h2>Form is invalid</h2>
                                    <ul>
                                        <% for message in @user.errors.full_messages %>
                                            <li><%= message %></li>
                                        <% end %>
                                    </ul>
                                </div>
                            <% end %>
                            <%= f.text_field :follower_username, class: "form-control", autofocus: "", required: "", placeholder: "Twitter Username" %><br/>
                            <p class="button"><%= submit_tag "Add", class: "btn btn-lg btn-primary btn-block" %></p>
                        <% end %>
