I leave behind

my chains

and my fears.

Turning

to the pale moon,

I float

in the night sky

to rejoin

with my companions

and kindred spirits.

Louis Moe - Valpurgis Morgen (1908)

I'm feeling so ambivalent about the last episode of s3

On the on hand I can’t imagine that there's going to be a happy end. Because, honestly, how are they going to resolve all the problems in just one episode? Also, Young royals is a very realistic series and in real life things don't work out sometimes. Love just can’t fix everything.

However I am still very hopeful, since the show was advertised as being about the "choince between love and duty" and Edvin said that love always wins. Also the lake scene hasn't happened yet, and Wille hasn't said "what if I don't want that" ( as an answer to his mother saying he is going to be a fantastic king)

Furthermore the crown on the s3 wallpaper is broken, and up to s3e5 Wille hasn't said or done anything against the monarchy, yet. On the contrary, ha has rather been acting like a puppet of it, even more than in season 1.

But when I'm realistic, I guess they will be together at Valpurgis night "pretending that everything is normal, just for the night"

Then they will swim in the lake and the end scene is probably the scene where they're laying next to the lake, facing each others, crying. I could imagine that they are going to part on good terms. Something like "I love you, but it just doesn’t work, we're too different"

Then it would also make sense that Edvin and Omar cried during the last scene.

It would be hard. It would definitely break my heart. But it would be realistic.

It's the eve of witch burning or the Valpurgis night in my country and I'm just thinking...

Imagine the gang getting together to celebrate this night on 30th of April 1987. Vecna is defeated, everyone's laughing and drinking, they build a pretty large fire where Dustin's radio used to be. It's not like the fires they built during the days when Hawkins merged with the Upside Down - those brought them safety and protection, but this one? It's to celebrate life, surviving.

The nature around Hawkins has healed and there are flowers again, blooming, and they're plucking them, weaving them into their hair. They also weave flower crowns and bracelets and exchange them. They know that the flowers will bloom next year, that there is a next time.

They build tents around the fire and soon break into their small groups. Jonathan and Argyle are blissed out, smoking and counting stars. Nancy and Robin are bickering with Steve and Eddie about the threat of "witch burning", asking them if they feel particularly flammable this fine evening.

Eddie takes out his acoustic guitar and starts strumming, singing, and everyone else gets dragged to their feet to dance around the fire, then jump over it - Robin read somewhere that it's supposed to make them all healthier and get rid of bad luck and soon they're running in circles, hopping over the low flames, laughing like maniacs.

Nancy is hesitant for a moment, but Steve gives her a boost and Robin catches her in her arms, then tripping backwards and landing in a heap of giggles and gentle kisses.

Argyle and Jonathan hold hands and sprint towards the fire, jumping way too far and rolling down the hill, snickering and howling as they get completely covered in cut grass and pollen.

Steve can't help himself but take Eddie's guitar away gently, nudging him towards the fire. For health and good luck, come, on, Eddie.

But Eddie shakes his head, laughing that he has no bad luck to get rid of, that he graduated, his name got cleared, he survived and got a crazy hot boyfriend out of it. He doesn't feel unlucky at all.

(he does jump at the end, side by side with Steve. They are the last two ones awake, Eddie gently plucking on guitar strings and Steve braiding his hair, with more flowers and soft kisses on his nape)

Lascio alle mie spalle

le mie catene

e i miei timori.

Volgendomi

alla pallida luna,

fluttuo

nel cielo notturno

per ricongiungermi

con i miei compagni

e spiriti affini.

Churnabog’s thoughts on the Disney Universe

Ok I know the title sounds weird but this has being going around in my head.

You know Churnabog? The villain from Nightmare on Bald Mountain?

Disney’s version of “the devil”

This guy?

I’ve been thinking about him ever since watching Colin Looks Back’s Fantasia episode on Disney Villains and the times he teams up with the villains to defeat the good guys. Disney park rides, kingdom hearts, once upon a time, mickey’s house of villains etc

The more I think about it, I don’t think Churnabog is trying any time he fights the good guys.

Because let’s be honest. Do you really think he would actually lose to Micky? Or Sora? Or Elizabeth Swan? Or the Disney Park guests. Like if he was at his full “Nightmare on Bald Mountain” power, do you really think any of them could beat him?

“Ok Yugirl, if he is holding back, why?”

Because Churnabog knows if he went full power he would be able to win instantly. He’s not stupid. He knows if he went to his full power, he could have Valpurgis Night every night if he wanted.

So why doesn’t he?

Because he knows that much like having Christmas every day, having Valpurgis Night all the time would get boring in the long run. It takes the specialness out of the one night a year he gets to muck around and do what he wants to do.

“So, why does he team up with the other villains then? Why does he fight at half power if that?”

I have two possible theories for that

1. Much like the other Disney villains he wants to show he still has his edge

Or the more likely of the two

2. Because it entertains him.

I feel like much like any other pop culture based deity, Churnabog hates being bored. So he finds ways of entertaining himself, be it fighting JRPG kids, hanging out at the house of mouse, showing up to terrorize Mickey and Friends, hitting on Maleficent and everything else.

I mean Hades does all that too and we never question him for it.

Does that mean Churnabog isn’t actually evil? Oh no he’s still part of the Disney Villain group and he still enjoys being evil. It’s just he’s a villain who’s smart enough to know where he stands in this mouse shaped universe. He’s comfortable playing this back and forth between good and evil because it keeps things interesting.

Then on that one night of the year, he wakes up, messes around, hears the church bells and goes “well I’ve had my fun, back to bed”

Honestly you got to respect a demon lord who seems to have it all together
