Re: FILL: Everyday Love in Stockholm 170/? TW: CHARACTER DEATH

The thing for me with the manner of Raven's death was that it had to be something that was a natural continuation of the world they live in, but that also made a real and enormous impact on Erik, because this scene, this event, is the catalyst for his really tipping over the edge and reaching the Erik we see in Part One. This makes him that Erik.

Also, the poetic symmetry of revisiting the beach scene from the film but in a very different manner was really too much to ignore - they're by the water, he's giving a speech, then he is shot at and somebody else is hurt by his powers and by his act of self-defence, except that in this case it's fatal. And that has this massive psychological effect on Erik - in the same way paralysing Charles made Erik into Magneto in the film, killing Raven makes him take that step where he can institute these camps and controls, because it makes him go that bit farther. It had to fall out this way.

Next update should be next week as usual, pending disaster!
