Farewells at the End of All Things...

[computernerdjohanssen]

can’t wait to meet Elody on neverafter bc it’s finally Murph’s turn to be married to Brennan

[smallest-clown]

Your husband? We turned him fully into a frog. Yeah, sorry. Yeah he gave up his humanity for you, yeah. He did this after hearing that you only care for him now, not love him. Yeah…sorry.

[cespool]

Can we PLEASE talk about how Gerard CHOSE TO GIVE HIS NAME, HIS STORY, HIS DESTINY, AND GIVE IT TO ELODY even AFTER Rapunzel straight up told him Elody did not fall in love with him because of him but because it was the right thing to do.

Regardless of whether or not this is the truth, the fact that Gerard CHOSE to give what he gave shows that Gerard, despite all his faults, really did love Elody beyond himself.

He's gone on record saying he would have fell in love with her even if she had a spider for a face and now this?

Maybe Elody fell in love with Gerard because he was a frog that needed saving. Maybe she didnt.

Maybe Gerard fell in love with Elody because she could make him human. Maybe he didnt.

We don't really know how their love began but what we do know now for certain is that Gerard truly loves Elody, loves her enough to essentially LET GO of her. Unshackle her from the responsibility of keeping him human.

Elody loved Gerard to make him human.

Gerard loves Elody enough to become a frog again.

even though it's been a while since neverafter i still can't comprehend that brennan told them "we're doing a horror season, pitch your characters" and murph went "ok first of all, this guy's wife doesn't love him anymore"

[zielrm]

Finally watched the last ep of neverafter

[vox-fantasma]

when the gang finally meet elody i want to see everyone falling over themselves to hype up gerard. i want pinocchio enthusiastically recounting all of gerard’s heroic deeds. i want red embellishing them to the point of straight up deception. i want rosamund try and use her princess bro code to tell elody, princess to princess, that she’s got a real catch there, very handsome, congratulations, not many people find true love, you know. pib constantly trying to trick them so they’re alone in the same room together. timothy composing a terrible song in the background while they all watch gerard and elody interact. i want the scene from little mermaid’s “kiss the girl” where elody and gerard try to have a heartfelt conversation while three kids, an old man and a cat go 👀👀👀👀👀 in the background. gerard can’t stop sweating.

"You ask why I had loved her,

I ask; how could I not?" ☀

just a girl and her human sized frog ex husband

[officialgleamstar]

elody having the golden ball on her mace and a lily flower on her shield. fuck. her loving gerard enough to adorn the things shes taking to war with the husband shes leaving behind, the husband who refused to acknowledge the fight at all. do you think shes just as unsure of why she stopped loving him? do you think elody is unsure of what happened to that sarcastic and desperate boy she met, trapped inside of a frog? does she question to herself if she changed, or if he did? or does she know full well that the man she loved is a coward, that she loves him during peace but cant stand him in a crisis? does she wish she left him as a frog in that pond? does she sometimes wish that and then hate herself for it? does she know how desperately gerard loves her, or does she think hes forever a coward who couldnt be enough for her? does she think fondly of their good times together, the same gerard is always thinking about her?

and they all lived happily ever after. the end.

i feel fucking insane

Daughters of the Crown

[radiocrypt-id]

Elody is tragic, I think, in a way that feels very close to home?

She's a woman that met someone interesting and strange and became friends with him, happy to have a friend around, since her parents are too sick to be in her life all the time. She was a little girl forced to grow up so fast, to take every type of class and feel the weight of her station on her shoulders every day, growing closer to the time she has to step up and take over, desperate to be deserving of the title. Desperate to do her parents proud.

And she's got this friend now, this sweet, gross little frog that talks and says he's a prince. His story is a strange and sad one, one she maybe can't fully understand but offers what support and sympathy she can. If she even believes him, I'm not sure she really does. And he's funny. He makes her laugh, reminds her of the fun of the world, encourages her to take care of herself and enjoy things as often as possible, reminds her to be young and happy and live freely. And she needs that. She needs someone to look her in the eyes and tell her it's okay to be a kid. It's okay to play with her ball in the woods and it's okay to sing and dance and get dressed up and do the fun parts of being a princess. He brings her joy that she hasn't had in a long time. She loves that about him, how fun and silly and clumsy he is, it's charming. She falls in love with that silly frog.

But then Snowhold comes. They have no allies, their armies are failing, their people are dying and she's up all night going over maps and strategy at a table of advisors and generals and is so stressed and trying so hard. But her silly frog is still a silly frog. He thinks about balls and good food and safe castle walls. He tells her to relax, enjoy a meal, gossip about the nobles, have fun. He hasn't changed. But she's being forced to change. Now that silly levity isn't charming and fun, it's frustrating. She doesn't have time for games and can't see how hard he's trying to make her smile. She needs a Prince, a man to stand beside her at the war table and talk tactics and look for ways to save their home and people. She needs a fighter, a hero. But Gerrard has never been a hero, he's a frog. Elody was the hero. She saved him. And she's so exhausted by being the hero. She's always taking care of someone else. She just wants to be taken care of. She just wants help. It's hard to love someone the same way in times of trouble. It's hard to find the space in all the stress and work to love Gerrard the way she did when they met.

Elody does still love him though. She does. It's a painful sort of love, in believing that he's never going to change and be what she needs him to be, in that she's always going to be the hero for him. But she loves him. She carries a shield with a lillypad on it, she wields a mace with the golden ball as part of it, she's actively carrying him with her. She's thinking of her silly little frog and hoping he's safe, where ever he's gone to hide and when it's all over, when she's saved everyone and made everything better, she'll go find him again. And then she can take him to a ball, like he wanted. She wishes he was different, but doesn't think he'll change.

Imagine what she'll find, when they meet again? Her silly little frog is still silly and clumsy and thinking about her constantly, but he's a hero now. He fought and died with his friends. He's twice upon a time. He's been Outside, in The Lines Between. He's a fighter now, he's brave, he's friends with death itself. He's a commander, great at group tactics, vital to their group. And he's got a couple kids around him, that he's exhausted by but loves in some way. He scolds them and encourages them and he's kind of a dad? And he's been looking for her, not hiding. He's been trying to find her since he left, regretting leaving her behind but really not sure how he would have helped. And he loves her, god he loves her. Even as he turns into a frog from her falling out of love with him, Gerrard loves Elody. He loves her enough to be brave, to learn the things he never got a chance to learn before, to take care of others.

Elody is so loved, and she has no idea. She loves him enough to take care of everything by herself, holding onto what parts of him she has space for during this horrible time. But Gerrard loves her enough to die trying to find her.

She has to be his hero, she never had a choice in that, but unlike most cases in life, he's trying to be her hero too, and she has no idea.

[lizdoart]

normal about her

[cespool]

romantically or platonically whatever is the case, this has sealed my fate to be forever obsessed over these two fucks i cant do this today ive cried over them so hard

[foggybear42]

gerard and elody have such an interesting dynamic, ‘cause elody is someone who had to grow up too quick, and gerard is someone who never had the chance to grow up in the first place
