Pocahontas, look at me. I’d rather die tomorrow than live a hundred years without knowing you. ― John Smith

Pocahontas (1995): 3 times Pocahontas is compared to her mother + 1 time she's recognized on her own merits.

rambling lil meta under the cut

see, what's crazy about this whole situation is that it makes me wonder what exactly pocahontas's mom was like to have left such a massive impression on literally everyone in their community? there's that outright statement that "yeah, your mom's spirit is in the wind, basically, and our people venerate her as a spiritual guide (at the very least)." we know that she's the main connection between pocahontas and grandmother willow, and there's an implication in there that whatever leadership role she held in the village is expected to fall on pocahontas's shoulders someday.

i am so convinced that this role is some kind of spiritual leader/shaman position. wise-woman, priestess, whatever it's called. we don't see anyone else besides kekata performing any kind of spiritual rites, and even he isn't seen acting in direct contact with spiritual entities. kekata has to perform chants, provide offerings, and use a medium. pocahontas can just fuckign. talk to the things. how is she doing that? why isn't anyone else really able to do that? john smith could talk with grandmother willow but would he be able to if pocahontas wasn't there (i actually think he could but that's a different post)? has she ever done that for literally anybody else? nakoma never mentions grandmother willow. nobody mentions grandmother willow. apparently, the only two people who knew about her before pocahontas brought her new bf over was pocahontas and her mom.

i'm losing track of myself here, but the point is pocahontas is Highly aware of the ghost she's expected to live up to. and it sucks. and there's a lot more to her character arc about this but the eventual come-around to accepting that she has a responsibility to be more than herself and more than her mother's ghost is so heartbreaking because it also meant she had to let go of her soulmate at the same time so i c ry

pocahontas ♡ 1995

you think i’m an ignorant savage and you’ve been so many places. i guess it must be so, but still I cannot see if the savage one is me. how can there be so much that you don’t know? you don’t know. you think you own whatever land you land on; the earth is just a dead thing you can claim, but i know every rock and tree and creature has a life, has a spirit, has a name. you think the only people who are people are the people who look and think like you, but if you walk the footsteps of a stranger. you’ll learn things you never knew, you never knew. have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon? or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned? can you sing with all the voices of the mountains? can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
