Fangirl Shenanigans

Everyone go check out her page cause this is absolute genius work right here. The way Lucien looks at Elain has me in the biggest chokehold AAAAAA I LOVE THEM! 🧡

Headcanon moment: He uses it for everything, it's a pillow and a blanket, it keeps him warm and safe as much as one can be in that word. It's also the weight of responsibility on his shoulders-to keep the kids and camp safe, a responsibility that he often finds as heavy as being a big brother to Octavia was. It's the one thing he puts on when he leaves the small room they've given him in Arkadia and the last piece of clothing he takes off and hangs by the door at night. Sometimes he looks at it and drags his hand over the back, wondering what his mom would say if she could see him wearing it now. It has been her idea for him to join the guards so they could keep Octavia safe and he had failed. Now years later, he had failed even more people and he often wondered if he deserved to wear it at all.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this scene and why it had such an impact on me (and apparently everybody else lol). I think it’s because this gesture has so many layers in its meaning. From what I’ve seen, most people interpret this as a sign of protection against Vanessa/Ursula. But I only partly agree with that. See, this all happens BEFORE Vanessa turns back into Ursula, so Eric doesn’t know that she’s a witch yet (even though he probably suspects already that Vanessa is dangerous). So the immediate threat he sees is not Vanessa. It’s the other humans. Everyone backs away from Ariel, looking frightened, screaming, Erics own mother is horrified by what just happened. All they’ve known their whole lives are tales about blood thirsty mermaids tricking sailors with their voices just to drown them for the sheer fun of it (so to see Ariels voice materialized must be even more terrifying). They are scared of her. So Eric not backing away and holding Ariel even tighter sends a clear message: I am not afraid of her. And neither should you be. So yes, this gesture is, among other things, a sign of protection. Protection from his own kind. He stands by her AGAINST his peers. He stands by her side, alone, against every single person he’s known his whole life. Don’t you dare touch her. But it’s also alliance. Understanding. Acceptance. I am not afraid of you. I accept you. I’m with you. And that’s why this scene is so much more impactful than it is in the original.
