Merida x reader?
Merida snuggles with Y/N on their bed…
Merida: can’t we spend all day here?
Y/N: I wish. Your mum wouldn’t stand for it.
Merida: when we officially take the throne, I’m abolishing all responsibilities
Y/N: and then I can snuggle with you all day long
Y/N nuzzles Merida, earning a laugh from the young monarch…

How Brave Does Character
Brave is my favourite Pixar film, and one of my favourite Disney films. A lot of the reason behind this is how impeccably the film does characters, by which I mean everyone in this film manages to be both a caricature and a very real person at the same time.
Let me explain.
SPOILERS AHEAD
Tumblr media
So, let's start with the side characters. The terrible triplets are fun, but I'd like to focus on the clansmen.
Tumblr media
These are so interesting. They are, of course, archetypes. They are the overbearing fathers who hate each other and their three sons, but these are remarkably realistic people. They aren't limited to specific actions, and they bring about the nuances in each other through acting as foils for each other.
And, yes, these nuances are used for comedy a ton of the time, but they aren't just that, they develop over time. Their competition between each other actively changes them.
Tumblr media
Although, here's something fascinating. The sons show a completely different demeanor when not under the pressure of their parents. Young Macintosh (Right) relaxes and loses his uptight demeanor, Young MacGuffin (Middle) comes completely out of his shell, and Young Dingwall is, well he doesn't change too much, but he is noticeably more aware of his surroundings when not around his father.
The sons befriend each other and develop a rapport. They do this before anybody else in the entire story, proving that harmony between the clans and between individuals is possible.
Tumblr media
Fergus and Elinor follow the same line of thinking, but they bring about different sides of each other through understanding. Both characters feel their freest when they are around each other. Elinor is more open to talking out her emotions around her husband, for example. And it is important to realise this, because when she gets turned into a bear, this dynamic gets shifted notably.
Tumblr media
Finally, there is Merida, and her relationship with her mother. I keep bringing up these characters in contrast with each other because that is how character gets displayed. If a person is only in the same situation over and over again, you only see one facet of that character.
So, Merida is an aromantic character. This is important to understand because it is part of the driving conflict of the film. Merida has no interest in marriage or love, and her mother cannot accept that. The story explores the search for these characters to understand each other, and while it centres on Merida's confrontation with consequences and fate, Elinor coming to terms with her daughter's identity. Essentially, the story is derived from character conflict.
Tumblr media
But these characters also reveal elements of each other through both their conflict and their teamwork. They reveal each other's inability to show accountable through their conflict (Merida insists everything is not her fault, and Elinor is pathologically incapable of directly answering a question), but they also show each other's adaptability and are catalysts for each other's growth.
Brave is a character drama first and foremost, so all conflict is driven by characters butting heads with each other. I say all conflict, and there is one character I am yet to mention.
Tumblr media
"Last time I did this was for a prince. He demanded I give him the strength of ten men, and he gave me this for a spell. A spell that would change his fate."
Mor'du features what I like to call the Firelord Ozai school of character writing. He isn't a character, he's a force of nature, an evil thing to overcome. But he is a person, and everything about him can be inferred by the relationships he has. In this case, the thematic relationship between him and Merida. Both wanted to change their fate, both separated themselves from their families in a rage. Merida was able to reconnect with her mother, you can assume by Mor'du's ursine appearance that he was not able to do the same.
Even in the shot above, Mor'du the character is in shadow, because the nuances of his identity don't matter. The important part, and the part that the light highlights, is the axe. His actions are what's important, specifically the actions that mirror Merida's, and we can learn everything we need about him from that narrative symmetry.
Tumblr media
At first glance, all the characters in Brave are archetypes. The rebellious teenager, the strict mother, etc. But it is through interactions with each other that these characters become people. And that is reflected in the theme of the film. It is only through each other, that you can express yourself freely and change for the better. Otherwise, you are floundering with the same choices, and you can never, ever, change your own fate.
I might put up another post soon about Brave's use of Scottish mythology and how that works with the theme of fate, so if you're interested in that, stick around.

thinking about Brave again (specifically how the movie begins and ends with Merida and Elinor playing together, as well as how when Merida has a flashback about the time she still has a good relationship with her mother, she goes all the way back to when she’s still a wee kid who gets to play with her wooden horse while being watched over by Elinor) and realizing that... holy shit, maybe Merida’s love language has been the act of play this entire time?
Act of play, like... something close to quality time, where there is an element of togetherness, but also not quite like it because it strictly revolves around the act of playing and all kinds of activities she views as fun OR letting her loved ones have their fun. 
I think we can see this in practice through her interactions with her father and her brothers. With Fergus, she is allowed to do all sorts of things she finds exciting like archery, sword-fighting (which we can see in the Cutting Class short), falconry, and general goofing around. In all of these instances, she is shown to enjoy herself and her father’s company—which in turn bleeds into a sense of favoritism from Merida’s side; it’s clear throughout the movie that she gets along better with Fergus than with Elinor. In the triplets’ case, it’s the other way around: she’s the one who keeps them entertained by telling stories (which can be seen during the dinner scene) and lets them have their fun by not getting in the way of their pranks (despite it being hinted that they sometimes listen to her, making Merida the one with the ability to stop them if she only say the word—which in turn implies that she probably find some of those pranks funny as well). When Merida is particularly close with a family member, she is shown to either 1) do activities she perceives as fun with them, or 2) let them have fun in their own way.
Compare this to how Elinor treats Merida: how she ignores Merida’s tales of her latest excursion (the dinner scene), how she does not join Merida and Fergus during their outings (i.e: the falconry scene), and how she restricts Merida’s general freedom to relax and just have fun by always hounding on her about Princess etiquettes and manners. If we take into account this headcanon that Merida views the act of play as a love language, then Elinor is basically depriving Merida of the only way to connect with her mother emotionally. 
(This is not to say that Elinor is an entirely bad parent. It’s clear that she does invest her time, care, and efforts into her daughter; an act that is motivated by both maternal love and political duties as a queen who has to educate her offspring into rulers. Not to mention the movie never shows her to be stingy with affectionate endearments toward Merida either. It just happens that Merida initially didn’t understand all of that as an act of love from her mother, and instead translates it as only Elinor being a controlling parent. This mother and daughter pair is just not speaking the same language.)  
This is also probably why the river scene—where Merida and her mother caught fish together and played around for the first time in (probably) years—is what prompted Merida to make this expression:
Tumblr media
It’s only after they genuinely had fun together that Merida has a fleeting thought to herself: that maybe this strained relationship she has with her mom is still salvageable after all. And what happened before this, again? What helped her come to this conclusion? Merida and her loved one, playing together!
