the thing that i can’t get over is gerard *told* elody he didn’t want to leave her, that she had a place in his adventuring party when shit hit the fan, and that if he went to find rosamund the princesses might stop him from coming back to get elody, but she told him to leave so he left,
and he DID the hard brave thing and ventured deeper back into the castle to find elody when everyone else ran, but immediately got almost killed in one turn and was FORCED to run away this time, there was no fighting back, staying would have meant leaving elody with his dead body for a SECOND time, but the princesses are so wrapped in their own misery they’ll never tell her that

I can’t get over the fact that Stuart referred to “dead” being a “a mild term for it” when he talks about Elodie’s death.
Like I know it could just be a figure of speech, but what if he meant what he said?
What does it suggest?
That her death was not the worst thing that happened to her? Or was her death so gruesome that saying she just died wouldn’t be doing the act justice?
seriously my mind spirals with this.

Like, no wonder Elodie joined a troupe of nihilistic-burn-the-world-queens. Everything in that vulnerably brutal conversation with Gerard leads me to believe that she knows exactly what the plan is--a true fucking ending.
Elodie experienced the slow, devastating rot of falling out of love with her husband after happily ever after and then had to find his dead half-mutated frog body after he was in a battle against Cinderella’s fairy god mother.
No one warned her about that story within a story.
Of course it destroyed her to know that the cursed frog she so easily and simply fell in love with, whose curse she broke with a kiss to the top of his slimy froggie head, was dead in a battle he didn’t sign up for and had no business being a part of in the first place.
Snow and Cinderella probably didn’t have to try very hard to convince her.
And honestly, it isn’t a hard sell.
Princess, you are forever stuck in a story where you will repeat the same events, feel the same emotions, go through the same highs, the same lows, and some details will change, but the ending won’t. Some versions are happier than others but literally, because of reasons, the worse it is, the more drama you experience, the better the story.
We have a way to end it, but we need your help. Are you in?
Elodie looks at the body of her true love at her feet, puts her kite shield on her back, hefts her mace, and without shedding a tear looks Cinderella in the eye and says, Fuck these fairies. I’m not doing this again.
And then Gerard has the audacity to be alive and apologize? He talks about doing it over like it is normal to want and possible to achieve. This fucking frog prince.

It makes me so upset to think that despite everything that has happened to Jean, Elodie was the one who got the short straw.
Yes, she's dead so it can be argued that she doesn't have to learn how to live with horrors that were done to her (if she even could), but it's Stuart's comment that really drives home that she was a 12 year old girl sold to an arms dealer. There are not many options on what happened to her and the only mercy would be if her death was swift and shortly after being purchased.
But.... if she died too fast, it would have been a waste of money.

"My desire to sort of keep our happy ending meant that I was pretending that bad times weren't here, and that meant that I wasn't there for you in the bad times... I'm rambling, but I just wanted to say I'm sorry."
