When’s the next fic update?

HELLO I’m so sorry to all my readers I have been busy with vacationing and work and family stuff and haven’t had the time to write 😭💔 I’m trying to find time between shifts, I’m hoping once I start college I’ll have more time to focus on recreational things and continue Roses and Wolfsbane!!!

Phantom! Christine au Design

I ended up doing some art of my Christine design for my Phantom of the Opera au! I based her design more off the book description than the musical version. The outfits however are based more off the musical including her Phantom outfit which is based off of Erik’s/The Phantom outfit in the title number. I gave her dress and mask an elegant bird motif which is reminiscent of a dove or a swan.

I kinda explained this au in a bit more detail in my last post so I’ll link it here

But the short of it is durning the Final scene in Poto a fire is set and despite Raoul’s best efforts he is unable to save Christine. Causing her to be assumed dead despite her body never being found. 14 years later Raoul buys the theater where the events of the Poto took place only to find it haunted again but this time by a new Phantom who turns out to be Christine out for revenge.

cringing anytime i engage with phantom of the opera analysis because there is an obsession with casually throwing around the term 'gaslighting' when it comes to raoul's relationship with christine. gaslighting "is a form of psychological abuse or manipulation in which the abuser attempts to sow self-doubt and confusion in their victim's mind." at no point does raoul gaslight christine. he'd have to know the phantom is real first, and for the most of the story, he doesn't.

raoul does not believe an angel sent by christine's dead father is teaching her how to sing and he tells her as much. this is not gaslighting. at no point in either the book or the musical does he seek to sow self-doubt or confusion in christine's mind. in fact, her confusion is the thing that is deeply disturbing to him. he wants her sane, and healthy, and whole, and he fears grief has driven her insane to the point she has imagined herself a new father in the form of an angel of music sent to her from gustave daaé in heaven.

the fact raoul does not understand almost until it is too late the danger he and christine are facing is one of the most tragic aspects of the story. this tension is not there if you believe raoul knows the phantom exists all along and is trying to trick christine into thinking he doesn't.

nobody has to like raoul. in truth, i enjoy his niche appeal very much. it's like a cute little club. don't like him because you find him boring, a poor foil for the phantom, or a poor match for christine. that's perfectly fine and even fun! but don't make up abuse that isn't present in either the book or the theatrical production to justify your dislike. it's not necessary!
