Interview Is Soooooo Difficult As Somebody Recovering From A Lifetime Of Codependent Relationship After

interview is soooooo difficult as somebody recovering from a lifetime of codependent relationship after codependent relationship after codependent relationship. I understand these stupid vampires completely and I feel the damage done onto them because it is my own. but I also feel their love, as that is also my own. One could not exist without the other and I know this from personal experience. By giving your love you're handing them the remote to a shock collar around your heart. I can't in good conscious ship them bcs practically all of them are like this, but also, how can i NOT ship them??? I feel the devotion they have for each other. It's there, tangible, in my hands. but how can I wish for my favorite characters to endure the emotional warfaire I relate to? How can I not wish for it if that's the very reason they're my favorite characters. Many such cases...

I know I talked about this before when the series ended, but I love the juxtaposition of these two shots ignoring that they accidentally reversed her image in the mirror in the first one.

First of all, it's very clear how much more budget they had by the end of the series. Look at how much more detailed her mirror is, not to mention the shadows behind it, and even though I'm sure it's actually because of budget, you can see the far wall/mural reflected in the glass in PEEV as opposed to the blank mirror in TBEA.

However, budget or not, I think that really works for symbolism. In TBEA, Rapunzel wasn't sure what the future would hold, and she wasn't sure who she was. She wasn't ready for her life outside the tower to "end" already, or to be roped into a role that she was not yet prepared to fill. In TBEA, the mirror behind her isn't just blank, it reflects nothing at all, not even the far wall. Rapunzel is only able to see herself and her uncertainty.

However, by the end of PEEV, when Rapunzel looks in the mirror, she not only sees a strong, confident, beautiful young lady, she can also see all the adventures she's had in the past few years reflected back at her. She can see the life she's been able to lead and the good she's done. She can see the people and experiences that have mattered the most to her. She can see that she's not at all trapped here, but that this role, this duty, is a part of her life, and a part that she's now ready to take on.

Similarly to budget, but similarly symbolic, in TBEA, the only thing on the vanity was her crown, and it was central on the table: the one thing that seemed to matter to her father and the people of Corona. The thing that was putting so much pressure on her. But in PEEV, the crown's cushion is off to the side. It's no longer the central focus of her life. She's allowed to see herself first, and the crown second, with more personal and immediately useful items taking center stage on the vanity.

These two shots really show how far Rapunzel has come during the course of the series, as a whole.

(Also, this is how you do a callback.)

I could do Daniel's job if my mental fortitude wasn't that of a wet tissue.

AND HANNIBAL IS ONE OF THE MANY SUCH CASES I'D LIKE TO ADD

the thing that kills me about Claudia is not only do WE know she's doomed by the narrative. SHE KNOWS IT TOO! She can feel that she's inessential to those around her as you're watching her it almost feels like she knows she's destined to be killed, which feeds into her desperation and anger in some instances. then to have Madeleine come along and finally make her feel safe and loved, understood, prioritized. the narrative's target on Claudia's back doesn't go away now that Madeleine is holding her. we feel happy for them, we want madeleine to be the thing Claudia needs to survive. But it was never about her. She has to die. even if for a second you hoped that maybe it'll turn out different this time. Orpheus can't save Eurydice, all he can do is follow her to the underworld. That's just how the story goes. But the love was there.
