10. Raoul and Marius don’t “stalk” in the same way Erik does. It’s pretty clear that the Phantom is being obsessive more than romantic. Yes, there is romance in it, but in a creepy way, and in a manner that Christine gets scared of it… Missed your shot, Erik.
9. I kind of insisted on “beautiful” because, well, yes, the voice is Erik’s #1 reason for his Christine-obsession, but I don’t think he would have clung that much to her if she wasn’t pretty. Not that Erik is shallow, but let me explain. It was actually while I was writing this rant that I once read somewhere on the Net that Christine was some sort of faraway idol to Erik. I gave it a great deed of thought, and that brought me to the conclusion that Christine represents everything Erik will never get to be. Just the perfect puppet-toy, so to say…
But I must admit I’m very curious to read your upcoming phanfiction…
8. Erik just wanted to trust Christine so bad, you can feel that. But unfortunately, I don’t think he ever thought of their relationship in a longer term… He probably just thinks that once he could get rid of Raoul, there will be no problem… but unfortunately, no.
6. Now that I think about it, yes, Leroux-Christine has more of a spine and is rather resourceful. I need to re-read Leroux… But ALW-Christine… no, unfortunately. LND-Christine is pretty different from ALW-Christine because of her spine. On certain moments, not always. ALW-Christine seemed to never know what she wanted, never seemed to want to do anything to help herself, and always relied on Raoul… until the very end. LND-Christine… it depended. She was more in-character than anyone else, but she had more of a spine in a way to make the E/C pairing more believable. I can buy that from her rough experience, she decided to stop being a whiny teenager, but if you’re that weak-willed at sixteen, you’ll still be weak-willed at twenty-six.
When I say that Erik could get bored of Christine, I’m talking about Kay-Erik and ALW-Erik. And gosh, I think you’re the first phan I meet who doesn’t love Erik.
I would have been quite curious of knowing what happened during those two weeks… An author on FF.net, redeaths, has started writing about it (Fourteen Nights), but unfortunately, the story seems abandoned…
And yes, that’s exactly what I mean by everyman.
4. Arranged marriages… yes, a lot of them worked like that. But I don’t think ALW-Erik would have contented himself with such conditions. Because, well, for this rant, I was mainly basing myself on ALW since it’s especially in that context that we find Erik/Christine pairings.
3. “God give me courage to show you/You are not alone”, some E/C shippers fix that by saying that when Christine kissed the Phantom, she realized at that moment that she actually loved him. That’s just stupid. No further comments.
2. As I said before, I do admit Leroux-Christine has more of a spine. But ALW-Christine… no.
