Was discussing the Ultra Beast thing with a friend and I also recently finished watching 'Smiling Friends' so my brain just went to this XD A more angsty/weird/wholesome piece is coming up too that same friend and I also were diving into, but this idea hit me first.
shrike inspired deinonychus can stab someone in so many ways
So i’m just watching youtube, trying to chill out and whenever, when I get a Lego Movie 2 Ad for a video I was watching
do you see that timestamp at the bottom? Yeah, this is apparently 5 hours long.
And at first I was wondering, well is it the entire movie? No…this entire ad is for their newest “everything is awesome” type song. It is called “this song is gonna get stuck inside your head” and I am pretty goddamn sure it is going to repeat that one line over and over until my brain melts
So I am going to see if they really are playing it for 5 hours
Geometric Dominator beloved
Her children are irreversibly physically altered against their will.
She gets possessed, with little to no control over her own body.
Meaning she's forced to do the opposite of her sworn duty - corrupting the cosmos and essentially killing her own children instead of protecting them.
Cursa forces her to absorb the energy of her children not just for the sake of using that energy for herself, but to break Rosalina's spirit so that she stops fighting back against her control.
Given everything we know about Rosalina, this is literally the worst thing that could happen to her.
And yet...
She still puts others before herself, despite that being the reason her and Cursa fused in the first place (remember, Cursa was going for the Lumas for their energy at first, not Rosalina herself).
One of the few times she briefly breaks free of Cursa's control, she creates a portal so her friends can get away whilst giving them a reassuring smile.
When they help her break free permanently towards the end of the game, she specifically makes sure to stay between them and Cursa whilst joining the battle.
The entire game she keeps her cool, remains brave and fights Cursa till the end...
Then again this is the same woman who's first instinct after watching her children sacrifice themselves by flying into a black hole was to info dump to Mario about stars 😅
I guess it's hard to be emotionally scarred by anything when you've seen the universe recreate itself multiple times over.
