I haven't watched the original film in years for the simple fact of: It's portrayal of CPS, Nani's desperation to prove to a judgemental system and Lilo's lack of agency in the entire decision hits too close to home for me.

However, I would rather see that a million times over THAN NANI GIVING UP LILO.

Even without the colonialist implications, it is a disgusting ending to have for a film that is supposed to be about two sisters trying despite everything against them. To willingly give up her legal rights to Lilo for college, is a selfish decision and incredibly traumatizing for Lilo.

I know this because my parents relinquished their rights to me. It has been 13 years since that happened and I still deal with feelings of resentment, betrayal, and the idea nobody wants me. I was 13 when that happened, how would Lilo feel? How would any other foster kid who finds comfort in this movie feel?

Lilo is essentially told by her sister that she is not worth more than her dreams. That Nani, the only living relative she has left and has known her whole life, didn't even want to try for her? THATS A HAPPY ENDING TO DISNEY???

Bruce's low self worth meaning he doesn't know his kids love him because they all have communication issues: delicious, done

also i might have gotten carried away and did a lil follow up comic....

Tell me my sins
