“A reminder that where there is beauty, there is also strength and courage and resilience.”
dates read: 06.15.20 — 06.15.20 rating: 5/5 genre: ya, fantasy, adventure overarching theme: mulan is constantly haunted and challenged by the underworld to face the possibility of destroying her family’s honor and exposing her true identity. only when she confronts her true self, does her real reflection shine back at her. ships: mulan/shang baby! otp for life! cool parts: lots of subtle nods back to dialogue featured in the movie but does an excellent job of pulling it in and making it nuanced in a fun way. all of the exchanges feel genuine. mulan is like a real life Hercules as you read about her traversing the underworld.

“I am Fa Mulan, a girl who would sacrifice her life for her family and for China. I am a girl who journeyed into the Underworld to save her friend from dying. I am a girl who has fought battle after battle to finally recognize herself in the mirror. And now I do.”
Her reflection’s hair was short, but she wore a simple violet robe tied at the waist with a blue sash. At her hip was her father’s sword, and tucked in her hair- a blossom from their family’s cherry tree.

Positive emotion trumps negative emotion every time. We all yearn for reconciliation, for catharsis.
Inception (2010) dir. Christopher Nolan
No matter how the wind howls, the mountain cannot bow to it.
“But even then, the heroes weren't invincible.
They knew fear and loss, yet they fought anyway, because they knew it was the right thing to do.
Because in their hearts, they were brave and true.”
