About their memories. Annabel lee isn't just going backwards and lenore forward; Annabel is remembering faster and more compared to lenore
Moreover Annabel remembers the trivial memories, the supposedly less important ones.
For example Lenore would remember Annabel's first and last visits while Annabel would remember lenore showing up as Leo and a casual picnic together.
So basically lenore remembers being inlove with Annabel while Annabel remembers falling inlove with Lenore.
It's why Annabel is so hopelessly devoted and lenore isn't. Lenore remembers Annabel saying she wants her to have a better life even if she(Annabel) is forced into needlepoint. Annabel remembers the why
As much as I hate saying it; I think this is all because Annabel was more attached in life, that she loved lenore more than lenore loved her and it carried into Nevermore.
My collection 008:
My rock collection!
Most of these are rocks me and my sibling painted a loong time ago. I'll give you a quick tour!
Here's the biggest one - the unicorn rock! I think it used to have a googly eye before but it fell so I painted it on instead.
This one is the second biggest I think - astronaut rock! The space is painted all over it because I wanted to draw an alien on the other side of the rock but kinda neved did. Maybe one day, for now here we have just an astronaut.
This is a pretty odd one - googly eyed pet rock! I think my sibling made it with their friend. There are supposted to be two more that are similar but I couldn't find them at the time. If I do find them, I'll give you an update on them.
This is a believe rock! I got it as a souvenir from a trip abroad.
This next one is one I really like - Fireboy and Watergirl rock! It's two - sided, with Fireboy on one and Watergirl on the other side!
And last but not least, another two sided rock! Not shure what to call it so I guess it will be called the blue rock for now. It has a crow with a scarf on one side and a stone golem on the other side. I think it's pretty cute!
Sooo yea, that's it for today!
Why is your bf crazy?
Ask @devious-devious not me
Alrriiggghhttttt.
First in defense of Lenore; she went through the whole ass maze thing with pluto and Duke. Unlike most of the other students none of them had specters so they had to rely on each other through and through. That a guaranteed recipe for trust and loyalty.
She didn't go through that with Annabel which made her much more trusting of these two especially.
Let's remember that Annabel is also so manipulative and it's fucking hard and alot of the time dumb to completely trust someone who you know is very manipulative
Now that I defended her let's throw some well deserved dirt on her;
Lenore doesn't fucking get how serious and deadly the whole situation is, she's living in her little dululu land that everything can work out perfectly without anyone having to die
To her what Annabel is doing is unnecessary and cruel without reason. Why else would Annabel spend her time scheming and planning downfalls when she could try to look for other ways even if there is none; it's not like they could die any second in a literal goddamn death game!
(I think at one point she says quote for quote that she needs to get Annabel to see reason when she is the one being blind to their situation)
Biggest prove of this is her literally making a blood oath with the misfits without telling them about the fucking wild hunt that's making its way to the academy to kill her as they talk
In conclusion: lenore is too fucking deep in her delusions and savior complex to even try to understand why Annabel is doing all of that to save them
Want to put my Nevermore thoughts on paper real quick, essentially talking to myself
In the simplest of terms, how it all feels to me boils down to this:
Annabel Lee lost a wife Lenore didn't lose anything (but I'm being told she has)
Like, genuinely Lenore's words have always felt like empty platitudes and I cannot for the life of me tell if that's intentional or not.
Considering that moment in Dreamland where she says "I lost you both" I feel like that isn't supposed to be the case? And yet even THAT moment feels empty and devoid of weight even as I'm literally watching her cry about it.
And I think that just comes from the fact that, for this to not feel like the case, Lenore should have had Annabel as a priority AT FIRST while trying (and failing) to stand between the Misfits and her but that has literally never been the case. Her priority has always, always been the Misfits and she's always, always questioning Annabel.
Like she had Annabel as a priority for...the first 5 chapters and then never again the moment she met Duke.
In a visual sense: Lenore should be in front of Annabel with her back to her defensively while facing the Misfits, but instead, her back is to the Misfits defensively while she's facing Annabel.
Even when she's alone with Annabel she's consistently facing her and questioning her every word. There's no trust, not even on an instinctive level, it's all halting indulgence.
That's why the moments she does have, where she says "I'll miss you" or "She's the one who brought me back to life" or "I lost you both" or "I don't know what I'd do with myself if you fell" just feel fake to me. Because there is no change in her character when she has such revelations; she's still standing with her back to the Misfits and facing Annabel.
Like, I don't even want these two bitches to get together LMAO What is there to root for here,,,
It's not even about them not seeing eye-to-eye or projecting onto each other or whatever. Lenore, current Lenore, has a foundational problem with how Annabel thinks. And considering how season 2 started off, I fear the narrative itself also has a problem with how she thinks and I'm going to be watching said Plot twist Annabel into a pretzel so she can get """character development""" because she's not caring enough and sacrificing enough for random individuals she doesn't KNOW in a death game while ignorant of the fact there is a way out for multiple people at once. Even if she HADN'T been ignorant of that fact, I still wouldn't be holding her caring for Lenore alone against her.
Their whole drama just feels convoluted to shit, considering we as the readers would have had the same amount of "oh shit" feeling solely because of the flashbacks we got from Annabel's point of view. Lenore being made to say/think all of these random confessions feel utterly unnecessary.
Even disregarding all of the previous paragraphs, they aren't even fun in a """toxic""" (and by god am I using that word with a mountain of salt) yuri sense. <- this being more of a personal gripe, I suppose
Lenore's just too morally self-righteous and the narrative (a.k.a another character) has yet to call her out of it (like it constantly calls out someone like Montresor), and I have no idea if it ever will. Annabel did call her out on it, but the plot had a convenient excuse to turn it around on her courtesy of Lenore just having remembered the "Annabel leaving her" memory.
We'll see what happens, I'd like to be wrong in this instance.
Perhaps season 1 was a season reserved for "Annabel in the wrong and Lenore in the right" while season 2 will be a "Lenore in the wrong and Annabel in the right" thing.
Who knows
You left the stove on again.
Oh!- Sorry, Ron
Let's just ignore canon for a moment and just pretend that Annabel is being a sappy gay disaster
