[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.

Gerard's whole life feels like a never ending "Do you want to go to the castle where the dogs are or go back to your frog pond?"

Because it's so demeaning. He can be presented with the choice but he can only ever really go back to the frog pond. He could fight in the war but he was never taught to do anything but hide. He could fix his marriage but he was so young when he was cursed he doesn't know how to do anything but hide. Because his formative years -the years that define who he is and how he reacts- were spent fleeing from herons and dogs and boots. and he may have had his body back for a time, but he will always mentally be in the frog pond, with nothing to do but throw tantrums and hide and make up friends that will not speak to him.

And what lesson did he learn? He deserved it. Pinocchio lied, Ylfa killed, and Gerard understands that they had no choice, but to him, it was always his fault. Elody tells him he wasn't evil, and he doesn't hear her. Because good little boys don't get turned into frogs, and at nine?? The only lesson he could have learned was that he was evil.

Gerard isnt a coward. He just can't go back to the castle, because that's where the dogs are.

SOMEONE please write the Neverafter modern au fanfic where Gerard impulsively becomes a foster parent for Pinocchio and Ylfa after he and Elody “take a break” (it’s not a divorce, he insists, it’s temporary) and because of course he let Elody keep the mansion, he’s not going to make her move out he’s not a monster, he now lives in a little suburban house next to the overly indulgent Timothy Goose, his husband, his son Jack, and his incorrigible cat Pib. Soon after his cousin Rosamund turns up on his doorstep not offering any explanation, but her parents don’t seem to be looking for her and Gerard knows a little too much about parents who don’t look for their children, so she lives there too now and is helping out with Gerard’s strange little foster kids. Ft. Gerard sleeping on the couch every night because of course he gave the master bedroom to Rosamund and Ylfa and Pinocchio share a room with a bunk bed; Timothy helping out where he can, most often in the form of giving way too many cookies; Pinocchio dragging Pib everywhere and trying to use the cat as a scapegoat for half the mischief he gets up to (the other half is things Pib actually did but no one believes a cat would be capable of); the weirdly intense social worker Mr. Wolf; Timothy’s coworkers at the local school Scheherazade and Aesop; and Pinocchio’s ever growing collection of stuffed animals including Senator, cricket, Pinocchicrow and Spinocchio

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.

The little boy that nobody came looking for

[chalkbird]

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"

[aziirmon]

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.
