This… god I could ramble for hours about this.

This is one of my biggest pieces of proof that it’s not just Riley who’s dealing with Anxiety, but anxiety herself.

Immediately off the bat Anxiety wanted to make a good first impression. She wanted to lead and shape and cultivate Riley into someone who could handle all of life’s pressures. Meanwhile, internally, she’s battling the worries that she won’t be able to help Riley the way she’s supposed to. She needs everything to go right, to see every available option, so she can succeed. So she can prove that she’s worthy of being an emotion.

however. Anxiety doesn’t even realize this. She’s using Riley as a front; so strong so that she doesn’t even seem to realize she has internal problems until this very moment.

This is Riley’s sense of self. But even Anxiety must know that this isn’t all Riley. It’s the Riley she picked out. The Riley she cultivated and grew. This is a Riley entirely lead by anxiety.

in other words. This new sense of self isn’t just Riley’s. But Anxieties too.

But she doesn’t realize that till now. Too her this is just her dream. Her goal of a perfect Riley. She’s so excited to see it worked. Only to completely balk when it goes wrong.

Riley’s says Anxieties deepest fear. A fear she was currently ignoring so deeply she didn’t realize it. And hearing it spoken out loud, it’s the breaking point where she truly starts to spiral in the movie.

Now she doesn’t have hopes and dreams and goals. From this moment on. She’s failed already. She did something wrong despite preparing for every available outcome and from now on she has to desperately try to fix everything because now it’s CONFIRMED that she’s not good enough. And so to safe face and try a salvage anything she can. She has two practically kill herself to prove that she’s good enough. Not just to herself. But to her fellow emotions. Now it’s not just Riley she’s working for. But for herself as well.

The other emotions couldn’t see this before. They didn’t understand that Anxiety unknowingly had two goals. But now, when they see a clear sign that things aren’t going well. That maybe Anxiety is struggling with all the pressure, they start to get that their way in over their heads. And Anxiety is clearly starting to have some sort of internal tension. (Aka this is the moment where Anxiety’s attack starts. Not when Riley hits Grace. But HERE!)

Once again! I have to link all these posts back to the original post since Tumblr sucks ass and doesn’t let you post multiple videos in one!

A teeny but a goody ❤️

people always saying Ennui never pays attention and is lazy.

but also THIS!

Once again:

Ennui : Sees girlfriend struggling with gigantic object

Ennui :

LOL YOU PROBABLY THOUGHT I WAS DEAD

Not sure if I mentioned this one,

but once AGAIN!

Ennui (who can literally control everything on her phone) SEES Anxiety freaking out (quite adorably I might add) and physically goes up and fixes the problem! And ergo calming her girlfriend down.

no but I’m actually obsessed with all of their individual reactions

Joy : Okay we talked about this! We Tell them EVERYTHING!

Anxiety : But-But what about sneaking into coaches office?!

Anger : What about hitting Grace!?

Envy : Oh remember the LYING!

Embarassment : [Cant hear] (EDIT : someone mentioned that he says ‘We can Lie?’)

Disgust : Are we gonna tell her about the Firehawks?

Envy : Ohh and Val- I mean. Were starting [couldn’t hear) now

Anger : -She doesn’t need to know.

Fear : OBJECTION!-

Ennui: - Pardon! Excusez Moi.

Riley : It was good.
