after rewatching Rosamund's vignette I think I finally have words for why I don't trust the Princess faction yet besides Bad Vibes
Brennan wants us to believe they are good so badly. I don't want to do a single thing Brennan expects of me this season. That monologue of railing against God was TOO good. Like come on we have so many episodes left. Theres got to be more for Rosamund to learn, here.
The way they're only focusing on Princesses.... And the insistence on them rewriting the stories instead of letting everyone choose for themselves. This could be an overreaction, but that line pinged something in me.
We haven't seen Snow yet, and I don't trust that she's not the Stepmother from a story where she won and ate Snow's heart or something. Also Cinderella has invisibility. That doesn't... feel good. Why are they both literally unseen.
This is a horror campaign. A future faction of helpful Princess allys feels... distinctly non-horror. Like, maybe thats what Siobhan wanted for her story, but horror narratives don't usually have vastly overpowered allies waiting in the wings. Imagine if at the end of your favorite horror movie, the final girl was like, "and now my cool big sister is going to kick your ass." Like... for what reason.
#shut up az#neverafter#also I really...#hate the monarchy#like I have a genuinely hard time consuming fantasy content sometimes bc if a narratives happy ending doesn't include decentralized power#I'm always like you're not going to be happy and neither are your subjects lol#like thats why I like the Graceling series so much you know like. they literally do the politics to make their world a democracy and it#genuinely feels like a better world#anyway I know they're not functionally princesses and in fact they've both been very poor#its just their story archetype#but I'm still like [squints] elodie u are the only princess I trust in this fucker#still hope u and gerard abdicate and start a small farm at the end#or maybe a divorce and gerard starts a farm either way#gerard would literally be happier without a kingdom AND SO WOULD ROSAMUND#SHES A RANGER FOR CHRISTS SAKES
