Hey not to be mentally ill over a Disney character but I’ve been doing more thinking about LeFou and I’ve been having Thoughts™️. I haven’t watched Beauty and the Beast in who knows how long but I’ve been thinking about this descriptor of Lefou in this memorial souvenir book I got during my Beauty and the Beast hyperfocus.

I feel like this descriptor actually explains a good amount of Lefou’s character and his motivations. He tends to just sit there and take the abuse Gaston gives him, because even if Gaston is treating him like dirt, he’s being given the light of day. It’s the idea of I don’t care if if I’m being used, that just means I’m useful. To him, Gaston’s perpetual mistreatment of him is the only treatment he’ll ever get from him. Not because he doesn’t know better, but because he believes he doesn’t deserve better.

Call me crazy, but maybe I could do something about him. Show him he doesn’t need to be overtly submissive in order to earn my approval and love. He just needs to be.

Or y’know, something like that. I’m no good with media analysis.
