there is no final version of yourself. we never stop growing or changing, nor should we. stop beating yourself up for not being ‘there’ yet.

the incorrect way to do an anthropomorphic cat:
wouldn’t it be sooooo funny and narratively cathartic for both their characters if at some point william is once again falling. whether that be physically off another fucking cliff, or into some kind of hell portal, or anything that would actually pose deadly threat to the ghost boy that can technically float and fly. or shit, now it seems worryingly possible it could be william falling more morally/metaphorically from heroism itself into some kind of villainy.
either way though, william is again falling to his doom. but this time dakota is there, and he catches him.
whether that’s by physically grabbing on to his hand or symbolically offering it out for him to take to once again join them or fucking both at once.
and he stops william from falling.
and this time, dakota has the strength to pull his friend back up. this time, dakota gets to save them both.
so this time, william doesn’t fall. because this time? william isn’t alone. isn’t lost in the woods without any guidance but a strange blue flicker.
because this time william has his friends to catch him.
and so, this time… william doesn’t die.
i feel like this fundamentally would heal an open wound both dakota and william have been carrying around from the very beginning; finally, dakota is strong enough to save his friend from a deadly fall. finally, someone is there to catch william before it’s too late.
dakota finally gets to save the unsaveable, and william finally gets to stop falling to the fate he’s had since the beginning.
I am so deeply intrigued by shilo btw. He seems to have a genuine longing for emotional connection yet the only way he knows how to approach it is heavily reliant on coercion and extreme power dynamics. And its somewhat unsettling, how amiable he seemed whilst conversing with the guard, only to order him to certain death mere minutes later. hes so curious and easily endeared, but still willing to throw people away without a second thought, just for his own convenience.
shilo character study!!! poor little vampire rapunzel… share you theories about him here or there!!! that Is A Requirement. please. please talk to me about him.
does it ever drive you crazy just how fast the night changes
