My lestrange brothers thesis:
^^^
(SN: I call them brothers instead of twins because there is this small disconnect and plus they donāt look like each other all that much lol) (itās symbolic and literal guys)
Rabastan whose guard dog persona works wonderfully with Rodolphus!!! So Rodolphus doesnāt regret who Rabastan has become! And when Rab builds his ENTIRE identity on being Rodās āguardā, his brother doesnāt blink twice because he think itās what Rab wants, and who is he to deny HIS ātwinā anything? No matter how inhumane Rab becomes, Rodolphus will always love him. Thatās his younger twin brother!
^^^ THEMMMM
Rabastan can become this inhuman monster, a murder of innocents, a man who married the child he was fond of, the man who is a violent dog that bites and chews but never letās go. And Rodolphus will just smile and look the other way to give him a cup of tea and biscuits.
While Rabastan will never see that (guys he has his reasons), Rodolphus does (though he never acts very much on it because he doesnāt think he needs to) and itās what their relationship is!
^^ RODOLPHUS AFTER RAB DIES
His brotherās death will haunt him till the end of days because Rod loves him and his love killed Rabastan. The only thing is that Rod will never grieve with is the idea that āthe one consist thing in their life is now goneā, he grieves because he loves Rab! Not because they were each otherās constant.
