thinking about how christine calls erik "guide and guardian" in angel of music while raoul says he'll "guard and guide" christine in AIAOY

[ablatheringblatherskite]

Making an edit and made this part slow-mo and saw this properly for the first time...

i need to talk about this beacuse i've been a poto fan since 2021 and i just have to say... i truly don't think raoul was trying to gaslight christine AT ALL in the rooftop.

the goal of his character is to protect everyone and make sure everything is ok at the opera. including christine.

one of his lines in "why have you brought me here/raoul i've seen him" is: "my god who is this man?"

of course he knows there's someone who's killing people. he just wants to make sure christine knows that it's not a supernatural being, because she is having a mental breakdown and because, at this point of the story, raoul thinks that if the murderer is only a man then he can be defeated and is not as dangerous as a literal monster (that's a reason why he tells christine "you said yourself he was nothing but a man... YET while he lives, he will haunt us till we're dead".)

he even checks to see what is happening when she asks "what was that?". he does care. that's why he's telling her all this. he wants to make her feel safe and calm.

while erik is blinded by the dark he has lived in his entire life, raoul is, at the same time, blinded by the light and his position. he is naïve (and maybe a bit dumb) but he has a heart of gold. he only wishes good for everyone (even for erik in some way. i mean, notice how he gives him advice. and, also, him and christine met because he went to fetch her scarf!! this dude wants to help others!!). and it seems to be hard for him to accept that not the entire world will be good and that not everything will always go as he wants it to be.

he has blind optimism.

and his journey is to see life and the world as it is. it's personal growth. it's letting go of the chains that held you down. and that is also christine's journey.

they both leave their caves and learn about life together.

he wants to do everything for everyone and he may be stubborn as hell, but he would DIE for others (especially for christine). he needs to be the hero, it's not until the end when he becomes the victim that he realizes that the world is more than what he'd always known. and now he has seen the good and the bad. and the middle of both. and he can carry on.

Shipping wars are so dumb I propose we all just love our sillies and share hcs and aus about them I’ll go first 🫶

Christine loves to read and Raoul encourages it, buying her whatever books she wants or has even thought of wanting :} He loves to hear her talk about the characters and where the plot is at in the book!!! Also since their reunion Raoul has forgotten a lot of the violin lessons her father gave him, so she’s begun to teach him again <3

Erik absolutely LOVES Raoul’s bed because of how comfy and big it is, the first time he laid in it he didn’t want to get up since he never usually got the pleasure of a big comfy bed <3 Also Raoul likes his hair being touched and Erik loves how soft + curly it is :}

Also I have some rerik aus!!! A siren + pirate one in which Erik is a curious siren and Raoul is a pirate captain :} Another is a sheriff + outlaw where Raoul is a sheriff and Erik is an outlaw!! The last one is my vampire + vampire hunter au where Erik is a mysterious vampire haunting the opera and Raoul is a vampire hunter brought in to get rid of him… in all of the aus they kiss ofc

Also Raoul’s the little spoon in all ships involving him because he’s just so silly billy !!!!

IN DANGER OF WHO. IN DANGER OF WHO. im begging you to use your brain for two seconds for the love of god

[entity-of-the-opera]
