MY. FAVORATE. COSTUME. EVER. I love that the phantom took the time to get dressed up for the masquerade party. That hat has literally 100000 feathers in it. His costume has BOWS🎀 (i think… or lots of bow-adjacent things)

Okay so my theory for phantom Astarion is that he got burned by the sun and never fully recovered....... he is very self conscious about his scars and wears the mask to keep the illusion of his perfect beauty

OKAY now when Christine runs here it looks an awful lot, to me, like she's trying to pull Erik off stage with her
SHE TAKES HIS HAND.
When she shouts "No!" It's because she's just realized that Erik is very much in danger and she wants to get him out of there?!
ARE Y'ALL SEEING THIS?! ARE YOU SEEING THIS?

Raoul not just as a foil to Erik, but also a painful reminder of what Erik COULD have been.
Erik as someone who had a heart too big for a world so cruel. Raoul as a lover who loves so much that it hurts him.
Erik hating Raoul not just because he's jealous of him, but also because when he saw him, he saw himself. If things were different, maybe that could've been him. Which makes it hurt even more when Christine chooses Raoul, because it isn't just because she's going with someone else, or someone he hates, but because she's going with someone Erik so desperately wishes to be.
And because of that he can't fully hate him, because Raoul knows how to give Christine the love that Erik yearns to give her but can't. Because he doesn't know how. But Raoul can, because he was loved. Sure, maybe his dad did hate him (something he and Erik might also have in common), couldn't look at him because his mom died giving birth to him, but he had his siblings. And Erik had no one.
Raoul and Erik are foils to each other yet they are also so similar, because they love so hard. Love to the point of destruction. It's just that the world is cruel, and favors some and hates the others. And it's not fair, and never is fair. And I'd like to think that if Raoul had the chance to understand Erik more, like Christine and the Daroga did, then I think he would've felt a sort of kinship with him, too. With the man who has a heart too big for such a cruel world, just like Raoul has a heart too big to ever truly belong.
(thoughts after a lovely painful convo with @dont-do-rice-babes)
