#do u get it.
#this is like. a gifset about an essay i have simmering in the back of my head so here comes some long ass tags
#rocky actually has magic first of all we love magical realism
#second of all he has to learn to reconcile his powers (which he believes killed his mom) with his potential to do good
#with those powers
#so when he knocks alamein over that's a turning point bc he suddenly realizes he Could kill his only remaining parent too
#so he imagines himself bringing back the rat from the dead while he's at joanie's grave
#an obvious representation of his desire to be able to bring his mom back with the powers that killed her
#then alamein starts to talk about how much he loves ET (and rocky wants to be loved) for his healing powers
#so the next time we see rocky trying to use his magic after that is on leaf
#but then he uses it on alamein
#doing literally everything he can with the sparkler and the red jacket and the roller skates
#to say i want to connect with you i want to be your son please forgive me
#for killing her
#sorry for what i did to mum
#and it works. it works.
