Not too happy with this but I want to try and post something every week so eh here you go

[raoul--daae]

Hi. This is just a note that this blog is going to be on hiatus for the foreseeable future. I'll still post sometimes about POTO on my main blog, but I'm trying to cut down the time I spend on Tumblr by not using my sideblogs anymore.

[raoul--daae]

If you’ve ever watched a POTO boot with me, you may know that I enjoy rating the Raouls. Well, I have a very poor memory but lots of love for a certain Vicomte, so I have decided to start keeping track of my Raoul ratings in a more ‘official’ manner. For now, only HadleyRaoul’s rating is complete, but I hope to expand on it slowly and eventually have a full roster of Raouls that I can look back on and enjoy! (and maybe you can too!)

I have a short list of Raouls that I plan to review that are listed on the sheet already, but I am open to suggestions! 🥰

[ID: Ramin Karimloo as Raoul, waves of dark hair falling into his face, acts against a Christine I don’t recognize during “All I Ask of You.” Christine embraces him, shutting her eyes as she rests her cheek on his shoulder. Raoul’s hand instantly goes to settle gently in her hair as he nestles against her.]

Ramin’s Raoul lives rent free in my mind

[ID: Caitlin Finnie as Christine in her Hannibal Slavegirl costume, holding the Elissa scarf, stands in the center of the frame bathed in light. Her arms are spread above her head. She looks up and beams. Two actors behind her look doubtful and happy. Meg stands to the side and watches her, looking overjoyed.]

[ID: A drawing of Christine in subtle earth tones. She looks off to the side, her brow furrowed, something sad in her blue eyes. Her red lips are slightly parted. Dark brown curls fall loose around her face and over her shoulders. She wears a white dressing gown fading into the light brown background. I can’t make out the signature, but I think it’s something like “Casey Eade 21″. I’m sure that’s wrong, sorry.]

Twisted every way, what answer can I give?

Am I to risk my life to win the chance to live?

[ID: Charlie from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia stands in front of a wall covered in tacked-up papers connected with seemingly random red lines. “PEPE SILVA” is written large in black and underlined. He looks disheveled, wearing a short-sleeved button up, khakis and a tie and holds a cigarettes as he gestures wildly and speaks to a person with their back turned in the foreground.]

The managers trying to understand how the phantom disappears and steals money directly from their pockets:

I absolutely cannot accept any other headcanon for Christine Daae except that she's just. A really fucking weird person. Like, still very nice and polite, a bit shy. You'd like her if you met her. But you talk to her for a few moments and you're like, "Oh! Okay! You're the weirdest bitch I ever met in my life!" I fully believe all the other dancers found out about the whole Situation she got involved in with the Opera Ghost and were just like, "Mm, yeah, that checks out."

one of the funniest differences between the alw phantom musical and gaston leroux’s original novel is that in the musical, when erik shows up to the masquerade as the red death, he wears this elaborate scary skull mask, and in the novel it’s just his actual face

[ID: A four panel comic, arranged in a square. In the first panel, a Leroux-esque smiles calmly. He says: "Baby boy, baby". Beside that is a picture of Erik from the 1990 miniseries.

In the third panel, the Leroux Erik glares disdainfully, eyes glowing yellow. "Evil" (text emphasized in red). Next is Erik from the 1998 movie, with a rat sitting on each shoulder. The comic is signed "Axel Pavloxe".]

Poto memes are here again!

I wanted to draw something funny about Phamily some time ago. So. I watched the rat phantom version again (I am crazy, you know). This movie is awful. And I like it. 

In the Phamily Ratfucker is a black sheep. And almost everyone (except Cherik cause he is a cinnamon roll) thinks that he is a mistake, but they still communicate with him and try to make him to be a good ghost. But he is a rat. Ehehe

“there will never be a day when i won’t think of you,” 

id: a full body, full color illustration + shading and border of a couple. the two are dressed as raoul and christine from phantom of the opera in their costumes during ‘think of me’. the person dressed as raoul has one of their hands at the others back and the two are holding hands. they are standing in front of a dark red background and the border is gold with sculpted roses, angel wings, a scarf, and a mask decorating it. 

Did a commission for a friend of mine & it was so much fun!

Me about Bipolar II Raoul.

the rad thing about headcanoning fictional characters as neurodivergent is that you don’t even need to wait for the writers to confirm it bc if they give that character enough traits to qualify as being a certain way, then they just are. obviously it’s great if they did it on purpose but also. if you didn’t mean to write an autistic character? well you still did by accident and nothing you can say is gonna change that lol

[ID: a screencap redraw of a kiss during All I Ask of You, from Phantom of the Opera. Raoul, a slightly shorter white boy with brown hair, has his hands on Christine’s shoulders as he kisses her. Christine, a young woman of color, kisses him back, and has her hand slightly above his waist. the background is a textured dark blue/end ID]

Erik: Hello there, long time no see!

Raoul de Chagny: ...

Erik: Except in my revenge fantasies, where I see you on an hourly basis.

[raoul--daae]

Daroga: [to Erik] This is not you. You’re not a murderer.

Raoul de Chagny: He just killed three people.

Daroga: I know, but I’m saying deep down.
