#kit and elora

The Willow cast 🥰🥰🥰

[adragoncalledcat]

Sometimes I’m normal but most of the time I’m thinking about Kit getting down on her knees to be eye level with Elora as she’s crying at the edge of the shattered sea. Kit telling her that she’s afraid, but instead of her fear having power over her, she is giving that power to Elora. That she has never believed anything her whole life, but that she believes in her. And when they stand up, they press their foreheads together and embrace for the first time as sisters. Before falling off the edge of the world.

*not-so-sneakily drops more Willow as headlines*

Kind of sad there aren't many headline sthat fit Jade that I've found yet.

I refuse to give up, I love Jade too much for that 🥰

KIT TANTHALOS

Hello la famille Willow,

J’ai voulu analyser en profondeur le personnage de Kit.

Elle a vécu dans l’insouciance, ignorant tout du monde extérieur, dans un univers de privilèges mais aussi de fausses vérités et de tromperies.

C’est un personnage submergé par une souffrance intérieure dans la seule façon de l’exprimer et la colère. Tous ceux qu’elle aime la blessent et lui mentent. A commencer par son père dont son départ lui laissera une cicatrice de l’âme et des questions sans réponses.

Sa mère : la 1re à lui mentir déjà sur son passé. Kit ignore qu’elle était du côté de Bavmorda à vouloir tuer Elora avant de tomber amoureuse de Madmartigan et de combattre à ses côtés. Elle la force à un mariage et une vie qu’elle rejette tout en sachant qu’Elora vit dans le palais cachée. Je pense que pour Kit c’est le pire des mensonges qu’elle a eu dans sa vie.

Jade : Est la seule personne pour Kit chez qui elle trouve du réconfort, du soutien. Elle est en quelque sorte sa boussole morale. Elle n’est heureuse que lorsqu’elle passe tous ces moments à s’entraîner aux combats loin de ses obligations royales. Mais Jade la blesse à plusieurs reprises et de façons intentionnelles. La 1re fois c’est au village des Nelwyns lorsque tout le monde s’intéressent à Elora, Jade lui dit « Qu’est ce qui ne va pas quelque chose te dérange ? » avec un petit sourire moqueur. Kit se sent abandonnée au moment où Jade décide de suivre Willow et les autres à la recherche d’Elora. D’où sa décision de partir seule chercher son frère. Il y a aussi ce 1er mensonge de Jade, c’est lorsqu’elle lui dit « Je suis un Sujet de la reine. Elle m’a demandé de suivre Willow. » Sauf que Sorsha ne lui a jamais demandé ceci. Elle lui a demandé de veiller sur Kit. L’action qui la blesse le plus c’est lorsque Kit apprend que tous ses entraînements avec Jade n’étaient que mensonges en la laissant gagner à chaque combat. Arrivée chez les Bone Reavers, lorsque les deux amies découvrent les véritables origines familiales de Jade, Kit à ce moment précis pense qu’elle va la perdre. Je pense que même sans les prunes de vérité, elle lui aurait avoué ses sentiments. C’est aussi lors du discours de Scorpia que Kit apprend la vérité sur Tir Asleen et leurs actions envers les Bone Reavers. La scène où elle s’excuse auprès de Jade est tout un symbole car même si ce geste est fait dans le but de s’excuser d’avoir blessé Jade, c’est en fait, à travers Kit, toute la royauté de Tir Asleen qui s’excuse de ces années de mensonges et de tromperies.

Malgré que Kit soit un personnage impulsif, qui parle et agit sans réfléchir et sans tenir compte des conséquences de ses actes. Par exemple à The Immemorial City dos à dos avec Elora face à Dark Airk, alors qu’Elora essaie d’arranger la situation, elle rétorque « Et si nous refusons. » Elora l’arrête d’un simple regard.

Elle fini toujours par s’excuser, envers Graydon, envers Jade même envers Elora d’une façon détournée. Elle est prête à s’allier avec Elora et laisser de côté ses différends pour sauver son frère.

C’est un personnage loyal envers ceux qu’elle aime et incompris du fait de ses comportements qui pourtant pour elle semblent justes. C’est un personnage qui étouffe, emprisonné dans une vie qu’elle refuse. Lorsque son frère est kidnappé c’est l’occasion toute rêvée pour elle de partir à l’aventure. Je pense qu’elle aurait voulu partir seule avec Jade. Je me demande si Kit ne serait pas HPE sans filtres, laissant ses émotions prendre le dessus. En tout cas, sa colère n’est jamais tournée vers Jade.

I rewatched the series to analyze Kit's character in depth.

She lived a carefree life, unaware of the outside world, in a world of privilege but also of false truths and deception.

She's a character overwhelmed by inner suffering, and the only way to express it is through anger. Everyone she loves hurts her and lies to her. Starting with her father, whose departure leaves her soul scarred and with unanswered questions.

Her mother: the first to lie to her about her past. Kit doesn't know that she was on Bavmorda's side in wanting to kill Elora before falling in love with Madmartigan and fighting by his side. She forces her into a marriage and a life she rejects, knowing that Elora lives in the palace in hiding. I think for Kit it's the worst lie she's ever had in her life.

Jade: Is the only person for Kit in whom she finds comfort and support. She's her moral compass. She's only happy when she's away from her royal duties, training for battle. But Jade hurts her repeatedly and intentionally. The 1st time is in the Nelwyns village, when everyone is interested in Elora, and Jade says to her « You okay ? You just look a bit deranged » Kit feels abandoned when Jade decides to follow Willow and the others in their search for Elora. Hence her decision to set off alone in search of her brother. There's also Jade's 1st lie, when she tells her "I'm a subject of the Queen. She asked me to follow Willow." Except that Sorsha never asked her to do this. She asked her to look after Kit. The action that hurts her the most is when Kit learns that all her training with Jade was a lie, letting her win every fight. When they arrive at the Bone Reavers and discover Jade's true family origins, Kit thinks she's going to lose her. I think that even without the truth plums, she would have confessed her feelings to her. It's also during Scorpia's speech that Kit learns the truth about Tir Asleen and their actions towards the Bone Reavers. The scene in which she apologizes to Jade is quite symbolic, for although this gesture is made in order to apologize for having hurt Jade, it is in fact, through Kit, the entire royalty of Tir Asleen that is apologizing for years of lies and deceit.

Although Kit is an impulsive character, who speaks and acts without thinking or considering the consequences of her actions. For example, in The Immemorial City back to back with Elora against Dark Airk, as Elora tries to work things out, she retorts "And if we don't want to." Elora stops her with a look.

She always ends up apologizing, to Graydon, to Jade, even to Elora in a roundabout way. She's ready to ally herself with Elora and put aside her differences to save her brother. She is a character who is loyal to those she loves and misunderstood for her actions, which to her seem right. She's a suffocating character, imprisoned in a life she refuses to accept. When her brother is kidnapped, it's the perfect opportunity for her to set off on an adventure. I think she would have liked to go alone with Jade. I wonder if Kit wouldn't be HEP without filters, letting her emotions take over. In any case, her anger is never directed at Jade.

I mean why not?

[thiswasrequired]

I rewatched the whole season and this scene got stuck in my head. A short, little something because I love them all and I’m trying something new.

//

‘to be brave…and loved.’ you pause and take a deep breath. ‘and to not be a princess.’ elora gives a soft laugh, looks up at the stars.

‘it’s funny…I sort of did.’ she says it but means it, like it’s not ironic that the muffin girl has become the chosen one or that you would have gladly traded places with her for one day if it had meant that you could have the freedom to choose your own fate, just one time.

you’re both quiet for a long time, staring at the constellations and planets the stretch across the entire sky, from horizon to horizon. the phosphorescent algae a mirror image of the galaxy painted above. eventually you turn and head back towards the mud boat and elora follows, not far behind. you pause at the ladder to the roof, look around to the side where elora is adjusting her blankets, looks back up at the sky.

‘elora…’ she looks at you, blue eyes tired and shoulders slumped forward. begrudgingly, you’re beginning to actually like her. ‘sleep well,’ you offer with a small smile and she smiles gently back.

‘goodnight, kit.’ and with that you climb up to the roof, where you and jade had sort of claimed as your spot, or at least, no one has bothered to fight you for it. she looks like she’s asleep so you quietly settle down on your bed roll next to her, turn on your side so you can see her. you count her freckles, infinite and lovely, they look just like the stars in the heavens above. the grace of her skin, her gold eyes, red hair, soft hands. you are not one for prayer but you think of her so often, it feels like a religion in itself.

she must feel you staring because she peaks an eye open at you and mumbles something about getting enough sleep. you sigh and obey, push against her hip until she rolls over and you wrap yourself around her, sure and steady, she takes your hand and holds it across her chest. and as you’re starting to drift off, finally, you whisper a soft ‘I love you, jade.’ into her shoulders and you think, at least in this moment, it feels like everything might be alright.

[rampagingthesaurus]

Besties I've been losing my mind about this and finally went back to take pictures with the closed captions on.

When they're crossing a bridge early on in The Mines of Skellin, Elora looks down and hears Kit's voice, distorted and echoey but clear enough to make out a truncated version of what Kit says to her at the END of the episode: " I could've brought him back, and I could've finally understood why every time he chose you instead of me."

What is going on here!?

Is Elora prophesying? Is time all Wibbly Wobbly in The Mines of Skellin?

My read is that journeying down into The Mines of Skellin is a sort of physicalisation of the metaphorical journey down into the subconscious as the characters continue to grow on their own journeys. Elora is noticeably having a rough time this episode, and I think she's repressing a lot of feelings about her Chosen One status and identity down into the lowest layers of herself. Which is also why I think they have her drop the wand later on. If the bottom of the mines is the deepest, darkest, most hidden part of herself, that visually represents her shoving down all of her uncertainty and fear about her powers and abilities and what is expected of her.

I think having her hear Kit at this point specifically say "I could have understood why every time he chose you" represents something within her that is trying to break out - something that needs to be dealt with.

Kit said in front of her in episode one that she believes Madmartigan chose Elora over his family. Has Elora been feeling a little guilty ever since, thinking that maybe she's the reason Kit grew up without a Dad? 🥺

Puzzled and fascinated. They made a choice to add this in.

What do you think?

[mollyollypuddingpolly]

I definitely feel like Kit and Elora have a sibling dynamic and that imo they should have been raised as such (like the ending of the Willow movie suggests.) However, at the same time Kit choosing to be Elora's protector not from a lifelong sibling relationship and that bond being non-romantic is such a great subversion of the trope. 

It’d have been an easy choice to have Elora's love interest be her protector but Graydon is far from that instead he only starts to come into his own power on the journey with her and often needs her protection. Kit and Jade have this long-time bond that has turned into a romantic one that neither thought they could have based on status but were so committed to each other regardless. 

anyways Kit and Elora are sisters and i love the relationship dynamics in this show

[ohnogoosie]

ok but why does kit and elora have a better basis for a love story than kit and jade?

also kit is such a whore 🙄 she rly be doing gay shit w elora in front of jade like 🤨

[undercoverr]

Hugs all around that Willow isn’t cancelled 🤗

[maevenettle]

This is kinda niche, but I just rewatched the Willow series, and no one can tell me that Elora and Kit's bond is not ABSOLUTELY what Ellie and Sarah would have in an AU where they both got to meet and be sisters!

"We both believe that love...is the most powerful thing in the universe..." JUST SARAH SAYING THIS TO HER BABY SISTER ELLIE

THE BANTER, AND ELLIE NOT WANTING TO LIKE SARAH AT FIRST BECAUSE SHE'S "TOO NICE" OR SOMETHING.

That scene where they argue with Borman?

Tommy: I think we should-

Ellie: Nobody asked you ,Tommy

Sarah: Shut up, Tommy
