Beyond the Shattered Sea
This will be a little shorter since I'm kinda busy but I still have to share my thoughts even if I'm gonna cut back on the analysis (might do one later this week tho) a bit.
Jade helping Kit walk? Gay. Jade taking care of injured Kit? Gay. Gay sparring? Very Gay. The look before Kit threw herself and Elora down into potential death? The Gayest.
THEY KISSED
the whole thing with Kit having a throwing star stuck in her arm and Jade baiting her with a kiss only to slap her when pulling it out was just hilarious.
Kit has her confidence back. Yaay.
Also her will to live is a fucking rollercoaster. Before it was up, then after the whole Madmartigan thing it was gone, she kinda got it back again until they reached the waterfall and there she was just like: fuck it either I die or I make it.
That's probably not a healthy way of living but I support you, you go girl!
Kit and Elora finally laid all their differences aside. Kit admitting that she was jealous of Elora showed how far she has come since the beginning. It was already kinda clear to me that Kit has no actual interest in becoming queen, but hearing her say it was good
The whole scene at the waterfall was just amazing. Also if Jade does not jump after her gf I'm gonna be mad.
Kinda feeling the evil!Airk look. It suits him.
The final ep may be traumatizing tbh.

A few notes/thoughts on episode 6
Kit, Elora, and Madmartigan
I know I've said this many many times by now, but this episode once more showed how deeply hurt Kit actually is by the actions of her parents, specifically by Madmartigan's in this case.
Kit loves her dad. She truly does, even to the point, where in the heat of the moment, she is willing to choose him over her brother.
So knowing that he once more chose Elora over her is tearing her apart. It's making her wonder if Mads even cares about his own daughter, which I'm sure he does. Sending Kit away, not being able to see her again after so many years, must have broken his heart even if he didn't let it show in his voice.
But for Kit? For Kit, it looked like it had been easy.
She is understandably angry. But not at Madmartigan. No, she can't be mad at him because he is her dad and she loves him so goddamn much.
She is angry at herself. Kit said, that if she saved her father she might finally understand why he keeps choosing Elora instead of her. To me, that sounds a lot like she is partly blaming herself. Like she is trying to find out what she did wrong to make him leave.
But the thing is: You can be angry at yourself all you want, but you don't really have a way of letting it all out. You just keep bottling it up until you eventually explode.
So Kit is redirecting all that anger in her toward the only other option she has: Elora.
Because blaming Elora is easy. It's easy to make her the villain of this story.
And Elora knows that. From her reaction, when Kit started yelling at her, I'm also guessing that she knows that Kit doesn't actually hate her. But she's letting Kit blame her because Kit needs someone to blame.
Hearing Madmartigan's voice fucking broke Kit.
And I'm bowing for Ruby Cruz because the performance she delivered in this episode was absolutely incredible. The raw emotion in her voice as she was being dragged out was heartbreaking.
Kit and Jade
This two did not kiss and I can't believe I have to wait another week.
I'm hoping for some whump/CPR as compensation.
The hug was sweet tho. As was the whole: I'm not letting you leave thing and oh fuck my gf is drowning I need to save her
I'm a sucker for angst and a certified whumper pls let me be
Theories
I'm pretty sure Kit will be the one wearing the cuirass. Boorman explained that it was a shield. And Kit just fell into what is apparently a liquid of pure evil. So maybe the cuirass can work in more than one way, not only shielding from outside evil, but also the evil within?
Anyway, if Tanthamore doesn't make out in the next ep I'm fucking rioting who's with me?

I noticed quite a few people dislike Kit for the way she is acting, which I can understand let's face it she is a little shit. But that's exactly what I love about her.
One of the biggest problems in fiction is that characters tend to be too perfect. Especially queer ones. In so many instances, queer characters only have very few flaws that are easily overlooked or have none at all.
But not Kit. Kit's flaws are right there.
She is cocky, arrogant, confrontational, impulsive, hostile, stubborn, and so on.
But that's a good thing. Flaws are incredibly important for a character. Not only will nothing tell you more about a character and their past than their flaws, but a character without flaws is stuck in place. They can't develop because they don't have a reason to change.
Something Kit is starting to do, because of the events in episode 3 (I made a post about that too if you are interested)
She was still somewhat of a bitch to Elora, but they had a heart-to-heart and in the end, it was Kit, who gave Elora the confidence she needed to save Graydon. And I don't just mean Kit telling Elora about performing the growing seed spell successfully, but the way Kit made it clear she believed Elora could save Graydon.
If the one person, who was constantly hostile toward you, suddenly tells you that you can do something it has a huge effect. Because you can 100% trust that they actually believe in you.
Kit still has a long way to go. No one just changes overnight.
But if the writing team keeps up the good work and realistic portrayal they have shown so far, I'm sure that we are going to see a change in Kit's cocky behavior.
Here's a fact: No one is born cocky or arrogant. It's something that develops over time. For example through a history of being right or having frequent, competitive success.
Like sparing with your best friend and beating them basically all your life and being right when you say that you will keep beating them.
Just to make it clear, I'm not trying to blame Kit's flaws on Jade nor am I trying to defend Kit's actions.
Kit blaming Boorman for their situation was completely uncalled for as was the way she was acting toward everyone the whole time.
What I am going to defend, however, is her suggestion to kill Graydon. And before you yell at me through your screen, try to see the situation from Kit's point of view:
Her brother, who she had a fight with, has been kidnapped and could be tortured or dead any minute for all she knows. Every second they are not moving forward they are wasting time. Especially now that they have lost their horses.
If they can't magically heal Graydon, he will only slow them down until he eventually tries to kill them. Keep in mind that Willow had made no move to reveal that he might have a way to help Graydon until Elora explicitly asked him.
So for Kit, who had asked Willow directly if he could do the same thing he did earlier (again Willow didn't mention that there is something they could try to help Graydon), there were only two options. Either leave Graydon chained to the floor so he can suffer a lot of pain and turn into a monster that will try to hunt them down or grant him the quickest and most merciful death they could manage to give him.
Like Jade said later in the episode: Kit was right.
Kit was just the only one who had the guts to actually say what had to be done sooner or later.
And that's something no one can blame her for. In fact, speaking the truth no one wants to hear takes great courage and is something I will always respect. Even if I don't like what I'm hearing.

So I just saw the new Willow episode and I wanna share some thoughts about Kit's character and her relationship with Jade, Boorman, and Elora.
Spoilers ahead.
Episode three certainly was something. And while it had a great impact on a lot of characters, I want to focus on Kit a little bit (mainly because she's such a little shit and I love her for it).
This episode changed a lot of things for her. Kit can no longer deny that Dove, this unimportant kitchenmaid who just seemed to be her brother's latest plaything, is actually Elora Danan, the woman who is destined to save all of them. Kit saw the result of Elora's magic.
But what does that mean for her? What does it change? The answer is everything.
First it means that her mother has lied to her all her life. In episode one, Sorsha said:
"[...]Tomorrow Prince Graydon marries my daughter, Kit. At last unifying Tir Asleen and Galladoorn, [...] strengthening us against any threat we might face. [...] may they rule wisely and justly, and defend our realm till that day when the true empress Elora Danan returns"
When I first saw this scene, I must admit, I was a little pissed. Sorsha basically called her daughter a fucking stand-in.
But looking back now gives this scene even more weight. Because Elora was never gone. She was there, hidden in plain sight, the whole time. Sorsha was willing to marry her (very gay) daughter off to some guy she doesn't even know, obviously forcing Kit into a situation she felt very uncomfortable with, just to keep up her charade. Something she even admitted to Boorman later on.
That alliance through marriage is only necessary to unite the kingdoms to protect the realm until Elora returns. If Sorsha had decided to let Willow train Elora from the beginning on, the marriage most likely wouldn't have to exist since the realm would already be united under Elora.
I don't know if that's too far-fetched. If Kit still would have been married off to Graydon to secure an alliance. My point is, that Kit feels betrayed by Sorsha. She already did so because Sorsha tried to force her into a loveless marriage, but that betrayal just became a lot more impactful.
But her mother is not the only person she feels betrayed by. If Elora was with them all the time, it also means that Madmartigan didn't have to leave them to protect Elora. That tale, that explanation of his departure that Kit tried to make up for herself, has now completely fallen apart.
So far as Kit knows, her father left her and Airk to chase after some myth about magical armor. And that's where Boorman comes in. He was with her father. He knows what happened to at least a certain point.
The thing is, he is obviously not being completely truthful either. After episode three I honestly don't really trust him anymore. He acted very suspiciously when they reached the Slaughtered Lamb. Plus he lied to Kit about what he found in the well. So I keep asking myself, what is his goal. Boorman claims that Madmartigan found the Kymerian Cuirass, yet he never returned from his adventure.
I doubt Sorshad would have sent Boorman away with her daughter if she truly thought that he had something to do with Madmartigan's disappearance. But I'm sure that Boorman knows a lot more than he lets on and that he is following some sort of agenda on his own.
And that he is using Kit to get to it. He keeps feeding her breadcrumbs about her father and although she keeps asking, Boorman always deflects from Madmartigan's fate.
Of course, that's only theory and could be complete bullshit but at the same time, I find it too suspicious to just ignore.
And that leaves us with Jade in the end. Over the first three episodes, their relationship got pretty dented. At first, Kit felt betrayed by Jade because she was prepared to leave her when she needed her the most. Jade felt hurt by this as Kit wasn't happy for Jade following her dreams. All of that changed, however when Airk got taken. Kit clearly appreciated Jade coming with her and probably wasn't even that mad at her anymore (given the straddling and kissing and overall very gay behavior).
But then Elora came into the picture and better turned to worse again. They became hostile toward each other and more distant. Before Dove's true identity was revealed, there were comforting touches (like when Jade talked about her deceased parents) or soft smiles (like when Jade was watching Kit sleep). But once Willow said who Dove really was, that stopped. Jade believes in Willow and Elora, something that Kit clearly didn't. In Kit's eyes, they were just wasting valuable time that could determine Airk's fate. Airk, who she had a very big fight with. Kit is feeling a huge amount of guilt.
So their relationship strained over time, but the reveal that Jade let Kit beat her during their sparring sessions, that was a huge blow. You could literally see the hurt and betrayal in Kit's eyes. How she questioned everything. Has Jade been letting her win since the beginning? Has she ever actually beaten her or was it all just an act? How much did Jade hold back? Was their friendship just an act too? Was Jade only her friend because she was the princess? What else has Sorsha told Jade to do?
And now combine all that with the fact that Kit has feelings for Jade. That fucking hurts.
But Kit still cares. When Jade was forced to kill her mentor, Kit tried to comfort her, even if they were interrupted before she actually could.
How Kit handles the situation in the next episode is going to be very important. I love her, but girl needs to forget about her pride and swallow that ego of hers.
She saw that Dove truly is Elora Danan. And she saw that Willow was much more than she originally thought. And I believe that that will have a huge impact on not only how Kit interacts with those around her but also how she views this quest.

and getting a kit and jade kiss in the first episode was crazy! wasn’t expecting that from disney
When Kit straddled Jade I was caught completely off guard and things just got even gayer from there on.
And as this wonderful interview shows the writers and showrunners are on our side. Really looking forward to their story and where things go.

facts
Loving the Willow show, especially since, unlike a lot of Disney stuff that has First Gay Character, Kit is allowed to be flawed
Like, DEEPLY flawed. Actually, it isn't unlike Glimmer from She Ra and the princesses of power. Kit is your typical rebellious princess, but when she gets out into the world, that belief that She is right and everyone else is wrong, doesn't immediately go away. Especially not when her brother could be dying every second they delay.
Madmortigan may have left before they were old enough to truly know him, but she and Airk have both inherited traits from their dad. They're both ultimately noble souls with the hearts of true heroes, but Airk is a skirt-chasing womanizer scared to death of commitment, and Kit is a self-absorbed prat whose every snarky word makes Willow wanna shove a tree up her ass. Her relationship with Jade isn't some sapphic fairy tale, at least not yet, because Jade has to constantly drag kit kicking and screaming into doing the right thing and by episode 2 you can tell she's getting REALLY sick of it.
Willow doesn't just fully embrace the queerness of its lead, it also embraces that queer people are just as complicated, messy, and kinda shitty as everyone else.
I am LOVING this show

I don't know what amazes me more:
The fact that Kit and Jade are actually more than "just really good friends" and Disney was not queerbaiting us with the trailers
Or that they managed to cast two actors to play twins, who not only look like they could be related but also be Madmartigan's kids

The misfortune against the dramatic
Miraculous tends to downplay the minor characters' misfortunes while showing an exaggerated drama of everything that happens to Marinette.
Tumblr media
Chloe: her mother abandoned her at a very young age, her heroine left her forgotten and she thinks that everyone thinks she is useless.
Tumblr media
Luka: His father abandoned him before he had a conscience and his loved ones lie to him.
Tumblr media
Alix: She had to give up her entire life and loved ones to keep a miraculous protected, they didn't even ask her.
Tumblr media
Rose: She has a serious illness that forces her to visit the hospital from time to time, but she still does not lose her optimistic attitude.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Marinette:
She cries for not being able to go out with the boy she likes, even knowing that she has obligations.
She treats her partner badly and then blames him for having to find a replacement who is not in love with Ladybug.
She is stressed with her new duty as "guardian" although all this would be solved if she knew how to be a leader.
She goes into crisis for losing all the miraculous because of her obsession.
(If I had to list the times that the show is hypocritical due to its favoritism towards matinette, it would be long)
