Elder Faerie and White Lily Analysis because I NEED to talk about them...

What I'm about to say can be interpreted romantically or platonically, literally however you see fit 👍 I just want their relationship in general to be talked about more because it's so, so good...

(Putting it under a cut because it's a bit long LOL)

A lot of this hinges on a specific scene from Episode 1 of Beast-Yeast, that being "White Lily Cookie's Memories V" (creative title, wow !). It's the most important flashback between the two of them I'd say, and really exemplifies the dynamic between them.

This scene was the single strongest moment in ep. 1-2 and probably the most well written moment. White Lily was at her strongest here, in terms of characterization and general writing. She truly felt like herself, something that sort of lacked in other parts of the episode. God, I love her in this scene... but onto the actual title of the post !

In relation to Elder Faerie, the symbolism between them throughout their entire relationship is so, so good. The butterfly and the flower; the themes of freedom of choice and deciding your own fate vs. being rooted in one place for a single. clear purpose. The fact that it's a reversal of who you think would be who. White Lily being the flower, something usually stuck in one place for its life, as the one yearning for more in her life. Elder Faerie being the butterfly, a creature that can move freely as it wishes, as the one that's trapped in one spot due to a mission given to him years ago. It's so emblematic of the things they desire the most. Of course a flower would yearn for movement and freedom while a butterfly would yearn for consistency and a home. But their yearning is technically accomplished, White Lily can move where she pleases and Elder Faerie does have a defined role. Yet they both are still missing something despite that, especially for White Lily. Which I think just furthers the metaphor, the flower being the one desiring harder than the butterfly because it has to fight even harder for any goal.

Also the fact the mutualistic relationship between a butterfly and a flower ends up being both of their downfalls. There connection and relationship to one another causes both of their deaths, in a figurative sense for White Lily and in a very real sense for Elder Faerie. Both of their choices were obviously their own, but those were choices they could not have made without knowing the other. WL needed the knowledge from the Faerie Kingdom and from EF in order to make her choice to go to the Banquet, ending as her turning into Dark Enchantress. EF needed WL and her strength in order to seal the Silver Tree and protect the world, ending up with him dying in order for White Lily to take his power and fulfill his role. They both got what they wanted, at the cost of losing everything, because of each other.

They were doomed from the moment they met. The second White Lily saved Silverbell's life and was taken to the Kingdom. The second Elder Faerie met this stranger from a faraway continent. There was never any hope for them. And yet they managed to give each other the solution to their ultimate desires and goals... I'm going to be sick

my human Affogato design even though he doesn't DESERVE one because I HATE HIM (he is my favorite character)

isn't he just the worst PLAIN DRAWING below the cut (with a few notes) 👇

I leaned into a more softer look for him, not many sharp points or edges on this guy. Mainly because I think it makes it a bit more reasonable people fell for his manipulation (shape language moment) and I just like it lol lmao even. You can't tell much in this drawing because it's just a bust shot but he is FAT he is a beautiful fat man to ME !!!!
