Whoops it’s time to watch four episodes. Whoops they’re all very heavy.
So episode 11 is more or less “everyone knows everyone else’s deal, whoops everything’s bad now.” Fakir also has that fear of death, so I guess knowing how he died previously is quite the hindrance.
To answer episode 12’s intro: they’re both the ones that can’t move. I still don’t trust Drosselmeyer.
And speaking of which, we get an entire episode which is basically “everybody is extremely unhappy about their roles in the story before it came to life.” Tutu was a minor character, Rue didn’t even exist, and Fakir fucking died. Plus, 'ol Drossy gets mad at Edel for actually doing things. He’s basically the worst, and I hope the last episode consists of nobody dying and everyone just kicking him. Repeatedly.
At least we get an episode of Fakir being adorable. I can get behind that.
I find Edel’s last words interesting. She says she’s a doll mimicking human emotions, but if everyone was once part of a story then that’s technically true for everyone in the show. But she has more compassion for the other characters than Drosselmeyer does, because she tries her best to make sure everything ends as happily as possible, and she even wants to see Tutu and Mytho dance before she goes, which would be the end of the story if a certain someone wasn’t a prick. Of course, Rue left depressed so not everyone ended happily, but at least Fakir’s okay.
I feel like I could end everyone episode with the statement, “fuck Drosselmeyer” from this point on and it would be fitting every time.
Aaaaand episode 14’s mostly a recap. And Fakir’s a jerk again. I guess he can only not be a dick for the season finale. At least we get cat backstory (catstory?). Also Crow Dad. He wasn’t here at all in the first season.
Fuck Drosselmeyer.
