#meena elephant

[cowpokeace]

HELLO TUMBLR.. is the sing fandom still alive ..

Wanted to hop on here and talk about something that has bothered me in this fandom for a LONG time, and that is the Meena hate. I just have never understood it.

One of the main reasons I see why people hate her, is that she's a "Pick me", which I think is completely not true. A few years ago it was a huge trend to make fun of Meena for this reason, and I've just never understood it. Not ONCE in the movie did Meena put down another woman for male validation, which is the definition of a "Pick me girl". I've seen a lot of people hate on her for her "Happy birthday dear grandpa" scene, and I COULD understand this if her family were annoyed by her singing, but no, her grandpa enjoyed it and wished she'd show off her voice to the world, along with her mother.

Another reason is because of her size, which is just complete bs.. she's an ELEPHANT, THE LARGEST LAND MAMAL IN THE WORLD! She's going to be big, do they expect an elephant to be small? No. The media just wants another reason to hate her for some reason. The reason why she broke the stage at the end of the first sing, is because she was jumping. Let's not forget how just one strum of Ash's guitar was enough to crumble it.. the stage was in SHAMBLES, of course it wasn't stable.

Let's not forget the hate for her shyness. "She always wanted to be the main character." Did we watch the same movie? She didn't want to be the "Main Character", (Even though she IS a main character in the movie) she was just shy and wanted to show the world her voice. Her family were encouraging her to re-audition, which is why she did. In her first audition, she was too afraid to sing because 1; she was NERVOUS, as it was her first time ever preforming in front of someone other than her family (we can assume), and 2; Mike was literally bullying her off the stage.. I agree that the writers did make her shyness her "main" personality trait, but I don't hate her for it. Meena is one of the SWEETEST characters in sing. She is such a sweetheart, and has the biggest heart. Going out of her way TWICE to bake a cake for Buster. She was looked down upon SO MUCH in this movie, I would also feel upset and nervous. Mike was constantly making fun of her, and Buster told her she never had a chance.

I've also seen people make fun of her for EATING? Are the characters just not allowed to eat anymore? God forbid she eat an ice cream cone. Elephants eat 375 pounds of (vegetation) food a day, I doubt it's any different in the sing world. LET HER LIVE FOR ONCE!

The media yet again gathers around to hate on an innocent female character. I know I'm SO late to this but it has always bothered me.

ANYWAYS SING FANS PLEASE MUTUAL ME!!!!! Ace out!

Meena design moment, needed to change her a bit so she would better fit the style of the comic.

Mike's reaction to Meena is hilarious

[tigresslanzhu]

BORING!

Miss Crawly: Mr. Moon, why did you make us come in here? This is BORING!

Miss Crawly: OOOOH!

…

Miss Crawly: Now it’s boring with the lights on!

Ash: Miss Crawly, Meena’s dealing with a bad case of claustrophobia and you’re BORED?!?

Series 17 post 10: You thought I'd leave her out, huh? Nope. Here's Meena, in all her feminine glory and beauty. 💕

My thoughts on Sing: Thriller! [finally]

I just want to vomit out some of the things on my mind because ohhh my god, do I have THOUGHTS-

Also! Link here to the short, for the people who want / need it 👍

NO WAY

THE BASTARD LIVES???

THE MIKE FANS WERE ACTUALLY RIGHT????

It wasn't just copium!

Kinda off topic, but this is getting me thinking on how different sized animal's seats are priced. Because they only grabbed one ticket I think, so I think they're literally sharing a seat [WHICH IS CUTE]. But does this mean that bigger animals need to buy more than one ticket? Or are all the seats just ridiculously big? Or am I crazy?

Also thinking of that one scene in Spongebob where Plankton gets sat on by Bubble Bass 😭

Tiny blurry Mike hehe looks like found footage

RAHHHHH

RAHHHHHHHH

Me when I see my fav for 2 seconds with zero speaking lines

Nana is eating also holy shit

EATING ���

Also Eddie guiding her by the hand is sweet, I love their relationship so much aaywusjhisajhajk

He has such an obviously better relationship with her than he does his actual parents and I'm eating it upppppp

The "How hard can it be to fix a stupid tire anyway???" line was so aggressive, I'm taking this as character development !

She's an actually amazing actor in-universe and I love that

Meena Sweep

Also this set is clean as fuckkk- also a lot more realistic, but still very not LMAO

Also he's DOING A JIG AAA

The crunchy version is for my enjoyment specifically

HOLY SHIT I WAS REFERENCED /j

Also also.

Both GMO and Alice in Wonderland were really short plays from what we see, but I actually do think that this isn't how it actually goes in canon. When they're on the bus in Sing 2, the script looks pretty thick for one. And two- why would anyone pay for tickets for 4 minutes of show?

Like it just makes sense, you gotta understand my reasoning.

They couldn't put the whole 2 hours of play in the actual films, but I like to believe that's actually how it goes

That there's some story and depth to it as well [💀]

Reference. For later.

THE WAY HIS FACE SCRUNCHES DUDE DUDEUDUED

Meena Gunter and Ash are absolutely partying in the back bro

I wonder how often Meena finds herself in cars. Because like there's size, but also we know she just takes the bus everywhere. I don't think her family has a car, they all feel like they utilize public transit instead

Cars that are modified for bigger and smaller animals are probably more expensive and not mass-manufactured either

Not just height but weight limit is also something that needs to be kept in mind. Elephants are like a few thousand pounds.

I think it's just easier to have modified public transit rather than modified individual cars for that kind of load. I bet public transit has way more funding in the Sing universe because of this need too. Because there's also Rhinos, and Hippos, and Giraffes-

I'm getting lost in the sauce again.

HER NOSE SCRUNCH

She was AT that door. First one there, bouncing with excitement. Adorable. I wish Clay had speaking lines with her in this AGH

REFERENCE.

girl what the fuck are you doing here, your ass was NOT invited ‼️

The Infection AU would go CRAZY

Somebody needs to make that rightttt now, actually

I'm giving it some thought right now and how with a few tweaks this could be cool. Like I'd definitely make it so there were different phases, like the MLP AUs. And I'd keep the hivemind thing definitely, because I think that adds an extra terrifying aspect to it

Probably make the ooze stuff look more messy, eyes would be leaking the stuff, mouth.

Idk I'm just spitballing LMAO

The dog from under the table is actually terrifying

Rare sighting of angry Meena

ALSO WHY-

I have a complaint.

Why were they dancing.

For a full minute. With nothing.

No singing. Just instrumental. It dragged on for so insanely long. Like that's my one complaint about this short, is that the pacing is just absolute dogshit after they all get possessed. You can give me a Thriller reprise without making it look super awkward and boring. Why couldn't this have been a cool chase scene instead? Like actually keep up that tension you established?? Because like Crawly and Buster are just STANDING there now, and it's just like-

And then the actual chase is over so fast

Man.

HE'S SO STUPID LOOKING I'M GONNA CRY [positive]

the Borb....... [Buster orb]

I hate the "it was all a dream!" trope but I can't really be mad

I saw it coming from a mile away, and I'm honestly glad because it means that this isn't canon and we don't have to deal with random zombie shenanigans in the actual lore

Or maybe not because Crawly was literally possessed at the end but whatever. Not canon.

My final thoughts are that this was really solid! I feel well fed and very happy to get some new content of the sillies. I will most likely be drawing lots of Thriller stuff because WOW were some of those shots pretty. Overall, critically? C+ short [mostly due to that minute of almost nothing happening]. But my enjoyment level puts the grade at a B+ for me so [B is for Biased].

My Favorite Expressions in Love Sea Ep. 10

I can't believe this is my last one of these 😭

I've loved watching and writing about this show so much. I was always going to enjoy it because of the FortPeat of it all but I never thought I'd have so much to say about it or that I'd end up writing about it weekly. The only other shows I've written about to such an extent are Two Worlds and Dead Friend Forever.

I've only had this blog for a little over a year and a half and it's only in the past six months that I've been actively talking on it and making friends on here. I really want to thank all of you who take the time to read my posts and indulge my clown behavior and leave your thoughts and kind words in the tags. It means a lot 💜

Okay let's talk about microexpressions before I start crying in the club. Again.

We start off with Tongrak about to go have lunch with his mama after not seeing her for years. Mahasamut is lovely and encouraging because of course he is, he's my Memo Ochoa, but this face when Rak mentions wanting him to come along next time...

It's not that Mut doesn't want to. He does. It's just that he's very aware that it's not up to him.

And Rak doesn't quite get what he means because he's been trying very hard this whole time to not see this situationship for what it is.

His smile doesn't quite fall but it does flicker for a second and there's the smallest tilt of his head. Didn't he just ask Mut to come along? Then why is Mut telling him that it's up to him whether that meal with mama ever happens?

You can't pretend that elephant ain't there forever, Khun Tongrak.

And Mahasamut can't either.

"See the missing heart?"

It was at that moment that Tongrak understood what Mut was doing in giving him that bracelet.

And there was no joy at the realization. Only fear, dread, and panic. He doesn't allow Mut to get out the 'I love you'. He begs him not to sat it because simply knowing that it's coming terrifies him.

Tongrak tries to run away and draw up another agreement in a useless last-ditch effort to avoid Mut's feelings, but Mut doesn't allow that. We're at the end of the rope. We're at the edge of the cliff. The camel's back is one straw away. He loves Rak and he wants and needs to tell Rak. And he does.

But Tongrak is afraid of that love. He doesn't want it, and it breaks Mut's heart.

So Mut makes one last effort to make Tongrak understand that what he wants isn't Rak's money, but him and that terrifies Rak MORE because that money was another brick in the wall he'd built to protect his heart and now Mut is giving it all back and the integrity of that wall is weakening.

He isn't prepared to be without the wall so he rejects Mut and in doing so, chooses to be without him instead.

And here is where I grumble again about wanting to talk about a scene more and having to cut myself off for photo limit reasons.

When Mahasamut goes to say goodbye to Vivi and Mook and ask them to take care of Tongrak, Mook is the only one who's surprised. Vivi isn't. Hell, she doesn't say a word the whole scene and she doesn't have to. Look at her face. She understands why things are happening this way because she understands Rak and was coming to understand Mut. She knew something had to give.

Mook asks Mut if he's sure and wants him to reconsider but Vivi knows that he's here because he is and he has. Mook wonders what will become of Rak without Mut but Vivi (and we) know what it isn't just about Rak. Mut deserves to be loved and cared for the same way he does for others and has emotional needs just like anyone else and that's why he has to go home.

Mahasamut made sure to keep his promise of sweets in exchange for a good report card to Meena before he left and he almost made it home without breaking down but hearing Meena and her mom talk about what the number 8 means to Tongrak and the dawning realization of why Tongrak gave him an 8 that random night in bed is just too much.

It's all too much because at its core the reason Mut and Rak can't be together at this moment isn't a lack of love. The love is there but it's being smothered beneath the weight of Rak's fear.

Oh and hearing Mut's hitched sob after Meena asks him if he's okay?That absolutely did me the fuck in I'm never recovering fuck you Fort and also well done go sit at Chris Chiu's table.

I'd like to take a break from all this pain to complain that Mook didn't get to wear glasses for the whole show because look how cute my girly looks in them.

And the two flavors of concern she and Vivi have for Tongrak who is doing about as well as expected.

Sidenote: Khun Tongrak I'm never going to get over you leaving Mut's bracelet in the trash can for a week.

Her mess of a love life aside, Vivi is such a good friend. If I hadn't been so busy being sad in the moment I would've caught this face and realized the bracelet was safe.

As devastating as it was to see both Mahasamut and Tongrak have their individual moments of realization followed by a public breakdown, they were both important. I daresay they needed to happen because THIS is the true root of the issue.

Tongrak isn't afraid of love and he doesn't actually think it doesn't exist. He knows that it does and he's afraid of what comes with it. He's afraid of what happens when it's gone and the way that it hurts people because that is all he knows, that's the sum total of what all his life experiences have taught him about love.

But because until meeting Mut he never experienced love himself, he never had to confront that fear or fight its hold on him. There was never a reason to. It just kept getting reinforced to him and he fell back on it when he couldn't hide from his or Mut's feelings anymore.

This is what "do it scared" looks like. I'm so proud of my fighter.

And I'm proud of my Memo too for standing on business and not folding the moment Rak appeared even though I know a part of him really wanted to.

Tongrak broke Mahasamut's heart and it's not enough for Rak to appear and ask Mut to put the bracelet on him. That's still him wanting Mut to take the first step and even though we know that it's because Rak doesn't know how to go about this and desperately wants an opening, the first step is one he has to take without any help or prompting. Coming to the island was only half the battle.

And it's BRUTAL to watch because we know that Rak isn't there to hurt Mut and that he wants to reconcile and apologize and tell Mut he loves him but he just CANNOT find the words no matter how hard he tries.

Tongrak is a writer, words are his whole life, but it's like he told Vivi: fiction isn't reality. It is so much harder to say what you want to say when you're doing it for yourself and not for a character on a page.

"Don't make me throw my own heart away."

The lighting and the photo limit are preventing more screenshots of this scene and that is a good thing because just rewatching and seeing the glint of tear tracks on Fort's face is making me cry.

DAMN RIGHT YOU'RE NOT GONNA QUIT THAT'S MY BOY

Tongrak found the words and he found a way to say them and he found a way to make Mahasamut hear them and they're looking at each other with hope and surprise and love and I'm a MESS.

*blubbering* Just look at this adorable little cross-eyed look that makes it seem like Rak is trying to make sure he's not imagining this and all he can say is Mahasamut's name with increasing desperation and and--

Fuck fuck fuck fuck

"Pom rak khun."

"Chan rak nai."

*CRYING IN THE CLUB*

There is not a single expression in this entire television program that means more to me than this one. Not a single fucking one.

This is the face Rak is going to wake up to for the rest of his life, soft sexy morning voice included.

I just want to state for the record that I knew this pouty kitten had bought them a house the second he rushed in all excited with his envelope. I understand this man too well to be surprised by the things he does.

I would also like to point out THAT HE IS IN A TEXTURED PATTERN AND THAT I WAS RIGHT!

There are so many more expressions that I would've loved to include but this was a long episode and the photo limit is a cruel mistress.

This show wasn't perfect but I loved it so much. It helped me process some things, it healed some things, and it gave me Tongrak and Mahasamut whom I love and will miss so dearly.

I had a great time watching with ya'll and writing about it 🥰

The Steff Pearce Series - Muffins

Ash let out a giant sigh of relief as she kicked the door shut behind her. She made her way toward the kitchen, a bulging grocery bag clenched tight in her hand.

It was no secret that her girlfriend had plenty of baking experience under her belt, thanks to working in her family’s café. Steff was always bringing home something sweet from work or preparing some pancakes from scratch for breakfast. By comparison, whenever Ash made pancakes or waffles for them, it was always with a pre-prepared mix she simply added water or milk to.

This time, however, Ash wanted to return the favour and make something for the skunk to come home to. Thus while Steff was at work for the day, she had seized the opportunity. The moment the porcupine had finished her regularly scheduled lunch with her mom, she had gone straight to the supermarket to buy some ingredients.

“She’s always baking sweet stuff for me.” She said aloud to herself, carefully unloading the flour, sugar, eggs and chocolate chips onto the kitchen table. “Can’t be too difficult.”

Ash was no baker by any means; cooking was much more her speed, chopping up whatever food she saw fit for the meal and tossing it into the pan to fry. The muffin tray, whisk and scales on the counter were practically alien to her. But that wasn’t going to stop her from putting in the effort to try.

The porcupine glanced down at the muffin recipe she had saved on her phone, taking in a determined breath. “For Steff."

---

Business had been running smoothly over at Brewtiful all day. Now fully trained, Meena was effortlessly brewing hot drinks with care for every order she received, all while Cassie watched her proudly from the cash register.

Just as she handed the finished tray over to Steff with her trunk, the phone on the wall started ringing. Making sure there were no waiting customers for the moment, Meena picked up the receiver and held it to her large ear.

“Hello, you’ve reached Brewtiful.”

The elephant held the receiver away from her ear as a frenzied voice sounded through from it. “Oh! Hey, Meena! Is Steff there?!”

“Oh, hi, Ash. Yeah, she’s waiting tables…”

“Great, that’s great!” The porcupine cut her off. “Could you, uh, do me a favour and veeery subtly ask her where she put the fire extinguisher?”

“Umm… okay?” Meena replied slowly before covering the mouthpiece. “Steff, can you come here?”

Finishing up with serving a customer over at a table in the window, the skunk walked back over to her friend with the empty tray in hand. “Is everything alright, Meena?”

“Uh, Ash is on the phone.” She replied, struggling to think how she could possibly ask this next question ‘subtly’. She quickly gave up. “She… wants to know where you put the fire extinguisher.”

“Oh, tell her it’s just under the…” Steff’s eyes quickly popped open as what she had just heard sunk in. “WAIT! WHY?!”

Jumping as high as she could, the skunk snatched the phone out of Meena’s grasp. “Ash, what is going on?!” She shrieked into the receiver.

“Oh, nothing! Everything’s totally fine here, angel!” Ash’s panicky voice shrieked back, the incessant beeping of a fire alarm accompanying it. “Oh, look at that, I found the fire extinguisher! Well I gotta go, I’ll see you after work, love you, bye!”

Before either her mom or Meena could ask what was wrong, Steff had flung her apron off and shot out the door at lightning speed, frantically flagging down the first taxi she saw.

The entire ride home, Ash didn’t answer any of her calls. By the time the taxi pulled up outside their apartment building, the skunk’s anxiety only heightened at the sight of smoke billowing from their window. Tossing a handful of dollar bills in the driver’s face, Steff jumped out of the vehicle door and ran straight into the apartment.

Terrifying thoughts flooded her head as she charged up the stairs, potential danger be damned. Had there been a fire? Had Ash made it out in time? Was she hurt? Or worse?

Practically kicking their door open, Steff was greeted with the piercing beep of their fire detector and a faceful of smoke as she bolted inside. Waving her hand in front of her face, the skunk finally made out the shape of her girlfriend stepping out of the kitchen, no signs of harm anywhere on her. In her oven-mitted hands was a tray of twelve burnt lumps.

“…Surpriiise.” Ash said lamely, a sheepish grin on her face.

---

Over an hour passed of the two girls wiping down the kitchen and fanning the rest of the smoke out, as well as Steff smothering the porcupine with relieved hugs and kisses. The pair of them now sat quietly at the kitchen table, staring at the tray of singed muffins in the centre.

“And you thought turning the oven up a couple of degrees would get them done quicker before I finished work?”

Ash fiddled with a quill hanging by her ear, letting out an awkward chuckle. “AAAnd make up for adding too much sugar. I never realised how much precision went into baking.”

“Well it’s…” Steff’s nose wrinkled at the faint burning smell still emanating from the tray. “…not as awful as when I tried to cook dinner.”

The two of them couldn’t help giggling at that particular memory; Steff’s attempt at spinach lasagne had certainly made for an interesting meal that evening.

“And like me with this baking stuff, you’ll get there with a little help.” Ash added.

“I’m just glad you’re okay.” The skunk said, laying her hand on top of her girlfriend’s. “And it may not have turned out exactly like you wanted, but it’s so sweet you wanted to prepare something for me.” Taking one of the blackened treats, she bit off a small chunk and forced herself to chew it.

“Mmm… I can taste your love in every bite.” Steff muttered, wincing with a smile. Snickering, the porcupine grabbed a burnt muffin from the tray and took a bigger bite.

“Yep. Sweet, charcoal-flavoured love.” She replied, her grinning face also scrunched up in disgust as she chewed. Unable to bear the taste any longer, the two of them quickly spat it back into the empty slots on the tray before leaning back into their chairs laughing.

“You want me to help you make a new batch?” The skunk asked.

Ash grinned. “Sure.”

@lunarcovestarters

Option A:

"No, no, no, no," A curse broke from Jas' lips as her fingers curled into fists around the paper in hand. Her face scrunched up as she tried to keep her heart beat steady as a wave of anger and fear hit her at once like a ton of bricks. Silas was out. After all these years, he was fucking free which could only mean one thing. He'd be coming for her and it was finally time for him to collect on that favor she owed dear old dad. If Silas was coming, she couldn't stay here. She couldn't- she couldn't endanger all of the people in this town. All of the people she cared about. She couldn't- she couldn't breath. Fuck. "Out of my way," She mumbled out as she pushed past another, barely registering that they were there as the words from the paper she had picked up from the news stand played in her mind, over and over again.

Option B:

"Were you reading that? No? Okay," Elif snatched the paper clean out of the other person's hand as she continued to go around collecting every newspaper she saw in sight. She might not have known of who Silas Chamberlain was herself, but she knew the basics and knew that the last thing Jasmine and the Reeds needed was the entire town gossiping about their family when they were likely only just finding out about the news themselves. " 'cuse me," She flashed the unsuspecting civilian a smile as she plucked their paper out of their hand as well to join the huge stack she had bought out from the news stand. She wasn't quite sure what she was going to do with a hundred copies of the same paper, but she figured, worse come to worse, Nico and her could always start a pack bonfire or something.

Option C:

"No comment," Meena flashed the reporter an eased smile as she made her way down the steps of Town Hall that had been abuzz ever since the Lunar Cove Times had scooped them on the fact that the notorious criminal, Silas Chamberlain, had escaped from prison. It had been a while since she had last heard that name and while her thoughts laid elsewhere she knew the council would only be able to avoid this new elephant in the room for so long before a game plan as to how to deal with the threat that was the dark magic tyrant who was now roaming around. "You," She said, slowing to a halt as she caught a familiar face across the street from the crowds. "Walk with me?"

[thetheaterfam]

ok I hope you guys enjoy this story 😊

[aimportantsheep]

So, let’s just say if you were to give the Sing cast (that includes Darius) any kind of habit related to their respective species, what would they be?

(for curiosity sake) :)

Darius 🐂✨

Head Tossing. Whenever he feels like his hair is out of place (even when it isn’t), he instinctively shakes his head or body to "fix it." It’s automatic, but he manages to make it look glamorous.

Affinity for heights. As a yak, he feels naturally drawn to elevated places, such as balconies or high stages, where he can observe everything and, of course, be the center of attention.

Buster Moon 🐨

Eucalyptus Enthusiast. While he doesn’t eat it, Buster has a habit of using eucalyptus oil for relaxation or even to polish his theater furniture, claiming it’s "good for the soul and the wood!"

Rosita 🐷

Mud Baths. After a long day of managing her huge family and performing, Rosita enjoys taking a "mud mask" skincare treatment, joking that it’s her secret to glowing skin.

Miss Crawly 🦎

Tongue Flicking. Occasionally, Miss Crawly’s tongue flicks out when she’s deep in thought or distracted, which sometimes catches others off guard.

Meena 🐘

Habit: Gentle Stomping. When Meena gets nervous, she lightly stomps her foot—a subtle but audible reminder of her elephant strength.

Porsha 🐺

Habit: Howling in the Shower. Porsha loves to sing in the shower, but her wolf heritage sneaks in, and sometimes her vocal runs turn into a melodic howl.

Jimmy Crystal 🐺

Scent Marking (Symbolically). Jimmy has a tendency to "mark his territory" by plastering his face or logo on everything he owns, reinforcing his dominance.

[manda-kat]

Okay, I rambled about the mouse, time to face the elephant in the room...

People bully Meena from sing for that happy birthday song monstrosity, but I feel like it's all taking their anger towards somebody they know irl out on an innocent and lovable elephant girl.

My case: Yes they are right that somebody being a tryhard while singing something like happy birthday is pretty annoying, especially when they act all shy when they obviously meant to show off.

But they are always missing a key part of this equation:

Nobody in her family is annoyed. She lives with them and knows them. They all know she loves to sing and they love hearing her sing- especially her grandfather. They don't get annoyed when she overdoes it, they praise her. They want her to sing like that more and the only thing that annoys them at all is that she hasn't had the chance to show off like that in front of other people.

Meena is shy and has stage fright, but not in front of her family. She belts it out for them because she knows they love her voice and she knows they want her to do it.

It isn't selfish to show off if the people you're showing off to like to see it and are constantly trying to get you to do it more and in front of more people.

[natsuki208]

Why Darius and Meena may not be a crack ship

(If you’re not okay with this, pls just ignore the post)

———

There’s a LOT of things I love about the second Sing movie; the grand musical performances, character developments that were carried from the first movie, along with the new cast as well. But one of them I was kinda let down on, and that is Darius.

Don’t get me wrong, I really love this handsome, oblivious yak, however he’s lacking something that the others have - a proper character arc.

If you ask me, I’m a big fan of those kind of characters whom start off as self-absorbed but gradually becomes a better, selfless person for the ones they love, and that’s what I was expecting Darius to be. Here’s how I would play it out:

(Yes, this does mean I’ll be cutting out Alfanso)

He starts off the same as in the movie, bragging on about how he’s a rising star winning tons of awards, not noticing how uncomfortable Meena is around him and getting her name wrong, for he’s in his own world.

But once he witnesses Meena performing solo (probably to release her stress from working with him) he sees how much more confident she really is along with her outstanding singing voice, and falls in love.

It takes a much longer time for Meena to reach a similar feeling though, and only when he starts being much nicer to her too.

(He eventually says her real name which makes her feel better)

Then some things happen with his agent forcing him into another job, he refuses and decides to continue working with the Moon Theatre crew instead. Meena eventually returns those romantic feelings through their performance of ‘I Say a Little Prayer’.

Yeah, I’m fully aware that most people won’t agree with my take and still call it a crack ship, but I just have to say it. Darius had potential to be less of a one-dimensional character and equally improve Meena’s story arc.

(Before you say it, there are much weirder interspecies couples in animation than an elephant and a yak)

But hey, what do you guys think? Pls no hate. 🙏
