[ebadoodles]

a fateful encounter....

play scarlet hollow and you too can talk to animals! did you know the entire first episode is free? that's like two highly replayable hours for the cost of nuffin

[ebadoodles]

She's so cool

the house is spinning

the way Superboy and The Invisible Girl is Natalie literally begging her parents to see her pain and give her the support and love she needs but both of them dismiss it because in their eyes Diana is doing worse and requires more support

and in I’m Alive when Dan says “it isnt always about your comfort, it’s about helping your mother” and Natalie says “as always” because it has never been about her comfort, it has always been about helping Diana and she has always been left to figure it out on her own

and then in Song of Forgetting when Natalie hugs Dan, initiating contact with someone other than Henry for the first (and i think only) time in the show because she’s in so much pain because her mother forgot who she was and he hugs her back until Diana starts to remember when they met and then he pulls away and once again doesn’t offer her the support she needs because he’s too focused on Diana

and how throughout the show Natalie still acts as her mother’s protector (“that’s bullshit, she trusts you!” right before Didn’t I See This Movie, yelling at her dad when he breaks the music box, and driving her to the hospital during I’m Alive reprise) because she still cares about her so much and wishes she would get better so she can have a good relationship with her

and at the end right after I Am The One reprise when she walks in and Dan starts sobbing and she becomes the one that takes care of him by reassuring him and turning on the lights because she knows that he needs it and she’s so used to putting her own pain on hold

the way Natalie struggles the entire fucking show and it’s always second to her parents’ struggles

REBORN.

wow did you know the first episode of scarlet hollow is free?

[ebadoodles]

I look good in this

I see you, Rancilda-defenders. I love you, Rancilda-defenders.

But I just need to say how cool it is that it's not part of Ellas story to forgive her. A lot of people have pointed out the unapologetic revenge story but I need to put emphasis on this point. Rancilda is someone you could expect a hero to forgive. She was just following her mothers orders. She's a child. She stands up for herself in the end.

But she's not forgiven, and I love that. You can headcanon that she survives, and lives happily ever after under her favorite bridge. I do like that, too.

But it's not part of Ella's journey to forgive. She doesn't have to forgive this troll, who's wearing the skin of her murdered friend, who bullied and threatened her for what's possibly years, who held her down as her feet were sawed off, who laughed when she died.

I just think that's crucial. I just think that's awesome. Ella could have forgiven her. But it's not required of her. Her being a hero has nothing to do with her forgiving her abuse. I like that.

An offer you can't refuse.
