Actually, yeah !
I truly believe that Raoul didn't deserve everything that happened in LND. I mean he is just so gentle with Christine, he is so much in love with her ! He would do anything for her, just to find that his son is the son of The Phantom of the Opera, the man who kills and kidnaps people.
So yeah he made a bad decision by make Christine sing in Don Juan but he couldn't think about Erik killing Piangi and takes his place. I think he just did a mistake, witch is really normal. By the way I think that Christine could trust Raoul in this plan.
Here's a potato đ„
Mom: *opens my computer and sees my home screen* who are they?
Me: Hadley Fraser and Ramin Karimloo
Mom:.....
Sister: Tim and Tub
Mom:....
Me: Erik and Raoul
Mom: Erik?
Me: the Phantom and Raoul
Mom: ahhh I see. *points at Ramin* that one looks like the Sherlock Holmes guy from The Librarians
Me: Moriarty?
Mom: yes
Does anyone see the resemblance? I don't
I have a question !
In Love Never Dies, the eponime song says :
" Love never dies
Love never falters
Once it has spoken
Love is yours
Love never fades
Love never alters
Hearts may get broken
Love endures "
So WHY does she "fall in love" with Erik !? She was in love with Raoul ! And then when she said that love never dies she just goes with the Phantom ?! The man who just kidnaps her, kills a lot of people, try to kill Raoul and ( spoilers for those who have not read the book ! ) almost destroy the Opera and a district / quarter of Paris !
Why ? I need answers ;-;
Here's a potato đ„
There is ONE song I don't like so much in Phantom.
I know I will disappoint some people but it's Music Of The Night.
Don't know why but I don't like this song and I always skips it when I watch Phantom
Here's a potato đ„
I have a question !
Am I the only one who noticed that "Look with your heart" from Love Never Dies really looks like "Le Petit Prince" ( a French novel of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry ) ?
In the book, there is this quote ( I'll write it in French and English ) :
In French : "On ne voit bien qu'avec le cĆur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."
In English : "You can only see well with the heart, the essential is invisible to the eyes."
Now the song : "So look with your heart And not with your eyes"
Christine sing this because, to her, you can see well with you heart only.
It's quite similar and I don't know if it's a reference to the novel or not but I like it !
So am I the only one who noticed ?

I LOVE YOU !
( well, she did kind of, But weâll get to that later, Iâm also defending poor Erik here.)
so one day I was scrolling through Instagram, and my christine loving heart finds a comment like this,
âChristine is a selfish, little slut. She doesnât deserve erik. Well, the best men find the worst women i suppose,â
or something like that , I did post about it before I wiped out my account because one, I didnât enjoy the things I was doing with my accountâanyhow, Iâm sure you can find the original post on a reblog.
but that comment really did infuriate me. I bet they hate raoul, I just know they do. And no, thatâs not the first Christine hater I have encounteredâ In fact, theyâre everywhere on Pinterest, indeedâeverywhere!
Oh, and another thing! Why do people hate raoul? Because of Love Never Dies? Even with the sequel, he is an amazing character!
I donât like what they did with love never dies . . The music is outstanding, but really, the ironic ending is too good to continue , leave that to the fanfiction writers who want a better ending for poor Erik. Iâm sure the Phangirls screamed at Webber for having a poor ending for Erik , Even though Gaston Leroux wanted it that way.
(Or...Iâm convinced it was made for Brightman, whom divorced Webber, responding to thatâ Webber made a self insert fanfictionâ and made Christine perish.)
But anyways, Christine feared Erik, thatâs the thing. Yes, Iâm sure christine loved Erik, Erik is supposed to be a sympathetic villain.
But he murders people, manipulated the entire opera house, threaten to take raoulâs life many times in the book, kept her down for two weeks in the book, tied Christine up in the book, made Christine choose between the death of many people of Paris or marriageâmust I go on?
Now, Iâm more of an E/C shipper myself. But why hate on Raoul and Christine? Why hate on Raoul because of something he couldnât control? Why hate on Christine becuase she was told to go by the poor man, who she was afraid of and chose Raoul?
Now hereâs were i dĂ©fend Erik.
Erik didnât know how to love. Erik didnât know how to do anything but kill. He saw a light and loved her because she was kind and could bring him music, kind of in the mindsetâ âWell, maybe she could bring me happiness, joy.. something other than agony, thatâs what Iâve always wanted ,â
But he was too demanding, scary and angry. (Half of the phandom, including I- ship Erik x Therapy, hell, he made a mannequin in a replica of his crush, Iâm scared of what that mannequin has seen.)
Raoul had no control over whom Christine would choose, but he was sweet; a boyish charm and warm. Yes, nobody likes that boy. But heâll treat you better, would you like a toxic man who has known nothing but pain? Or a warm, kind gentleman who would protect you with his life? Both would die for you, but one is more mentally stable than the other.
Oh, yes. The answer you may choose- the toxic man, so you could âteach him love,â Iâm looking at you, wattpad. I am in an anti-raoul club. I can confirm however I want an Anti-Raoul & erik club because they donât deserve the goddess we call Christine Daae.
Like, letâs be honest, theyâre both not good, but the better choice would be raoul, maybe if Erik didnât do all the not-so-good things I listed in the 9th paragraph of this rant, (I hardly even call these paragraphs, maybeâninth glob of sentences?)
Okay, the title is kind of clickbaitâ Christine did do something wrong. But not because she left erik! Because she tore off his mask after he said repeatedly not to!
I do agree why she did it, possibly because she thought it was someone she already knew, (the MazM game explained it perfectly.)
But overall, she didnât do much wrong, she did what she could, and tried to do something, anything to protect others from erik.
Christine Daaé did not do anything wrong, as neither did Viscount Raoul De Chagny.
(okay thatâs a lie, raoul didnât listen to christineâbut that doesnât make it okay to hate raoul.)
I can try
I love how Raoul just like an angry dog, maybe I am the only one who see the dog but I see it !
â (àž âąÌ_âąÌ)àž â - Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny
A man who want to marry someone he loves
An opera singer canât get over her dead dad
I love how Raoul is like "There is no Phantom of the Opera !". But, don't you saw Buquet ? And the Phantom's laugh after killing him ?
I think Raoul is like : "Everything is in my head...it's in my mind...none of this is real..."
