Got inspired by @theowlgoesmoo's fic "Go Ahead, Take Her." Decided to write my own A Bug's Life fic because I am a sucker for villain perspectives in literature and Hopper fits into my favorite character tropes.

Cant choose between these two vastly different color palettes …. lol
Hey y’all wanna see the worlds most appropriately unhinged phantom of the opera as it came up on my FYP?
Watch carefully, it's subtle.
For people to miss the true point of The Phantom of the Opera at *this* point in history is actually baffling to me!!
The original author was a journalist (Gaston Leroux) who stood up for the demonised outsider and his novel was considered, what we now call, "woke" at the time. It contained an outsider, a poc and a strong heroine.
The story was a warning on how the trauma of othering and abuse someone to the point they are completely broken and no longer see themselves as human can damage a person. (And the difference showing kindness and understanding ((like Christine did)) can bring.
This is literally what the last lines of the novel spell out.
The more I read about Qajar Persia the more alarmed I am at the Daroga's decision to save Erik and get exiled for it. Ramble below
I mentioned before that it's very likely he had a bunch of relatives and people in his household, and after looking at Encyclopedia Iranica for way too long I am convinced that he had to have like a dozen dependents at least. It's unlikely that he wouldn't have been married with children. Ik in the Kay version he's a widower and his son dies, and ig it's fine because with his family already dead and his servant Darius tagging along with him in exile, there's no one to worry about.
But. He wouldn't have had one servant. It's not like he's a bachelor who just needs a valet. Depending on how wealthy he was he could have had servants whose main job was to open the front door, or to manage the hookahs for guests. If he had kids (I still think it's more likely than not that he would have, and would have had more than one), he also has to consider their wetnurses, nannies, tutors, some or all of whom might have been dependants in his household.
Maybe I'm overestimating the importance of a daroga in the courts. Maybe he was more of a middle class type with just Darius as a servant. But he still probably would've had a wife and kids. And his parents. Maybe grandparents. And siblings. And in-laws. That he up and leaves. For a FRENCH guy.
I'm not done.
also!!! How shitty would it be to move from Persia to France? I guess it'd be a bit more tolerable for the Daroga since he traveled a lot and was probably slightly westernized due to his status. But still. Can you imagine the homesickness?? The despair that you'll never ever go back on penalty of death? Can you imagine him all alone after Erik died, thinking of old friends or cousins or coworkers, not even knowing whether they're dead or alive? Living in a French-style apartment completely different than the biruni/compound he grew up in. Having to sit in chairs instead of on cushions or blankets on the floor. Y'all I keep thinking about how at some point he probably physically couldn't sit on the floor - or at least couldn't get up afterwards - due to age and him growing unaccustomed to it.
Idk maybe he's a really big Francophile. Maybe he felt out of place in Persia. But he still wore the astrakhan cap and that to me implies he still identifies with his home country in some way. Then again he stayed in France long after Erik died. Maybe he couldn't stand to leave Erik's body? Or Erik's creation (the Populaire)?
Maybe he would've made friends with other Persian French people. But he never struck me as a very sociable guy. And his circumstances are kinda difficult to explain. So he might have been alienated from his countrymen in the diaspora AND from cultural/ethnic French people (not even touching on the racism, xenophobia, & Orientalism).
Don't get me started on Darius.
I'll try again
