mARTch day 3: strengths/weaknesses
(whaaat wdym i missed day 2 pfft ur hallucinating)
First: Strengths!
I tried to draw Sua because I love drawing black hair, but... it looks kinda terrible. But, on the bright side, the eyes turned out well! Eyes are super easy to draw for me because I doodle them so much.
Oh, Lenore... has seen better days? It wasn't too bad though... but I'm kinda proud of the hands more, and the shoe. I hate drawing shoes! Also I wanna personally fight fingernails. Why do they look so BAD WHEN I DRAW THEM NDIWHFHELSKFH
so... I've been reading Nevermore...

Saw the video and decided it was them. It's them.
Another animation I've made, a bit longer. "let's go to heaven"
The flower on Annabelle's head is a camellia, representing inner strength, love, loyalty, and humility. They're also considered weeds. Annabelle's holding some scissors too (:
Lenore's simply with Annabelle's chesthole

Let's GOOO first Tumblr post
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
Annabel lee: You were the only one who I thought knew I'm not a monster
Annabel hun your eyes are turning green AGAIN
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.
Lenore: I want a truce
Annabel: did you just say 'seduce'~?😏
Annabel hun your eyes' colors are changing to green
Question: Define platonic married couples
Answer:
A small detail I want to point out; is that when lenore almost pulled a gun on Annabel, she knew it was empty, she checked when she went through her suitcase. The gun was nothing but an accessory to scare the others off, scare Annabel lee off. Chances are lenore never for a moment thought of actually hurting Annabel physically but mentally.
I swear Lenore's the biggest personification of Katy Perry's Hot N Cold song I've ever seen WHEEEZES
This isn't going to be very nice to Lenore, and in general the "remembering in pieces" mechanic, so just don't click read more if you don't want to see me tear into it thanks.
Like I know we all love to call Annabel a manipulator, and she is, but THIS MOMENT is kind of egregious as fuck to me.
The audacity to call her a monster (AND mad) to her face and then comfort her when she reacts badly over it
The audacity to look at her like this:
and then immediately after do this:
Why is she even saying "I don't know what I'd do with myself" if she's not supposed to remember that they were close?
But then why would she be acting like this if she DOES remember that they're close???
The worst thing is that it's so obvious how Lenore cares for the Misfits but when it comes to Annabel it feels cheap? Like it doesn't feel like there's any connection there other than "I remember I'm supposed to love you but do I actually?" rather than there being any genuine emotions involved. (Is that the point???)
WHERE is the delusion? The "Annabel must have surely had a reason—"
WHERE is the trust?
WHERE is the loyalty? <- truly my biggest gripe because Annabel is so fucking devoted I cannot let it go, I can't LMAO
WHERE is her not actually being as mad as she SHOULD be despite all of her misgivings and thus making Duke and Pluto suspicious as all hell?
Lenore has never ONCE given Annabel the benefit of the doubt and I understand that in the beginning when she knew nothing, but now? NOW? After THIS
Clear realization?
At some point I have to think that the flashbacks we're shown are not things they remember in canon unless we're explicitly shown them waking up to it because THIS
does not make sense otherwise.
Lenore WHY are you not losing your mind here? After saying that you're done with Annabel's whole game?
Go crazy go feral???
Annabel gave you the same reasoning, Lenore. Why are you tolerating this from him? You were manhandling Annabel and inches away from pulling a gun on her but now Duke has Annabel by the throat and halfway past a balcony railing and you're just TALKING?
Lenore tell me. Tell MEEEE!
Is it because Annabel treats it like a "game"? She's being playfully and giggly rather than being serious and "there's no other way" like Duke, even though she said THIS
before.
That's the worst part, really. Annabel has been VERY transparent the ENTIRE time and yet Lenore gets mad over her doing exactly what she said she'll do.
Conclusion to my rant:
What do they remember, what do they NOT remember? I don't know!
Annabel is devoted to the depths of hell even to her own detriment but is that because she remembers or because she's just Like That™?
Lenore is full of doubts and perpetual suspicions, and is willing to call her a monster to her face, but at the same time she sprouts "I don't know what I'll do without you." and jumps off balconies. Is that because she remembers or because she's just Like That™?
What is going ON
It's been a week, give or take, right? So they remember, what? 5 days worth of memories? Unless they remember much, much more than just a singular happening a night?
It feels inconsistent at best and utterly pointless at worst.
Just show us the flashbacks as an outside thing, it didn't have to be organically connected to their Nevermore storyline,,,,OR have them remember everything only when they first go Specre
