it really amazes me that there’s a small handful of people who think eric was only in love with ariel because of her song. sebastian said ariel used her “siren song” to save eric. it didn’t make him fall in love with ariel. the whole point of the movie is that eric falls in love with ariel because of who she is and not her voice. it makes sense that eric wanted to find out who rescued him but he fell head over heels in love with ariel without her saying a single word to him when they were spending time together during their day out (while he had no idea she is the one who rescued him). grimsby told him to go for the person who is in front of him (ariel) and stop focusing on the mystery girl who, for all they know, may not even exist. eric didn’t even seem disappointed when grimsby said they had no luck finding the mystery girl that day.

eric was running to go tell ariel how he feels but then ursula bewitched him using ariel’s voice which she had used in a bewitching spell. she added ariel’s voice into a spell, ariel’s voice itself isn’t bewitching. if ariel’s voice alone made him fall in love then he would’ve been totally and completely in love and focused on vanessa/ursula and forgotten about ariel but he wasn’t/didn’t. if you were paying attention you can clearly see how eric is so confused and conflicted to being drawn to ursula while under this spell. he wasn’t himself and he even knew he wasn’t himself and wasn’t sure why he was feeling this way. unlike in the animation where eric totally forgot about ariel while under the spell, eric’s feelings for ariel are so strong and were fighting with ursula’s spell. he was still so concerned about ariel and worried about her having left the castle. as soon as ursula’s spell was broken eric is still very much in love with ariel because his feelings are 100% real and genuine.

another thing is the writers changed the story of the original so that ariel forgot she had to get eric to kiss/fall in love with her, so their relationship was always real and genuine.

AND did you see ursula’s reaction when eric went over to ariel after he realised it was ariel who rescued him? she yelled at him to get away from ariel because she knew damn well that eric’s feelings for ariel are real and it is true love and if he kissed her in that moment just before the sun set then ariel would stay human and ursula’s plan to keep ariel and take down her father would be ruined.

so, yeah, eric fell well and truly in love with ariel for real

i really believe that discussing the character with someone who shares ur interpretation is the closest u can get to modern day philosophy. we are like plato and aristotle but talking about a fictional guys trauma

It's FUNNY because supernatural had Dean and Cas do all the things the romantic couples do. Date nights???? Done. Movie nights????? DUH. There was pining and longing. and yearning. They had them BREAK UP. LITERALLY. These two had a divorce arc. They raised a son together. They lost their son and went through a break up. 

Dean had a whole ass WIDOWER ARC!!! No really, Dean grieved Cas like a broken widower.

Dean gave Cas a MIXTAPE. He was on his knees asking for forgiveness. Hell, everyone around them implied they were a couple. JOINED AT THE, Y'KNOW, EVERYTHING. 

Supernatural had them do all this. Had all of this be done to them. But they never officially called them a couple. Show, not tell.

And because they never outright called them a COUPLE I'm still being called crazy and delusional for seeing them for what they are... which is a COUPLE

and by FUNNY I mean sad

[couragehopelovefaith]

love a character that's like. i survived (<- not a brag) (<- this is a curse that weighs on me every waking hour)

Cas is like... You aren't a machine, Dean. You're a human. He knows when Dean is struggling and wants him to give himself permission to feel. However he is also straight to the point. Don't over-complicate things like you humans tend to do. *Hangs up.* Thanks man.

Ohhhh, Cas and Dean talking to Jack in 14x15 under the guise of talking to/about the snake is sooooooooo 🥺

Jack is defensive about opening up about his emotions, so the snake becomes neutral ground -> code for Jack himself.

🐍 🐍 🐍 🐍 🐍 🐍 🐍 🐍 🐍 🐍 

AHHHHH! Kill me now.

Cas:

CAS: You've been spending a lot of time with the snake. ("You've been spending a lot of time alone.") ... CAS: How is he? ("How are you?") JACK: I don't think he's feeling well. ("I don't think I'm feeling well.")

///

DEAN:

JACK: I think it's sad. ("I think I'm sad.") ... DEAN: (accepting this, not pushing him) You try bacon? (Jack adds bacon to the pan) DEAN: So does the snake want to take a trip? ("Do you want to take a trip?")

DEAN Hey man, I'm just trying to figure this out because... something's different with you. You know that. SAM Yeah. Yeah, I know. DEAN Really? SAM Yeah. I mean... I've been hunting non-stop for the past year, kind of... kind of on the wild, you know? So, yeah, I suppose I'm a little rough around the edges. DEAN Yeah, I get that. I just don't think I'm getting the whole scoop. You went to hell, Sam. And believe me, I know what that does to a guy. SAM To you. DEAN What? SAM You know what it does to you. It -- it tortured you. You know? I think it still does. But, Dean... I'm okay. DEAN So you're saying, what, that -- that you're stronger than me? SAM [ Chuckling ] No. Just saying we're different. SAM pauses, slaps the roof of the Impala and gets inside.

Had to come back to this fucked up thing that happened in 6.03. Like the entirety of the season 4 "Dean is weak for going to hell and not getting over it instantly" narrative was not enough we also get season 6 soulless Sam spilling the juicy details of Dean's trauma to their asshole cousins without a thought and also this shit.
