Clever and beautiful and haunting. I am never going to watch TLM the same way again.

I feel like these two should be next to each other, so:

Holy cow, that Little Mermaid fic is FUCKED UP. Awesome! But fucked up!

SO TRUE.

Oooh, out of curiosity, what's your Chihiro headcanon?

[meredyd]

Mostly, that she isn't too much older when she meets Haku again, maybe a teenager/young adult, and that they resume a romance after a time. And that due to her association with him she becomes a human who can sort of...go back and forth between our world and the spirit world, although not super often. I like to think her tenure there made the barrier between worlds a bit thinner.

(Hahaha, I just realized that I basically made her the Avatar.)
