There's nothing relative here.
I go by Rea or Charli but you cant call me anything.
My quiddity is for crap......and i'm tired. Thats the summary.
Existence is a spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum. I'm in the radioactive range.
Please leave me alone at all costs im pretty sure I cant feel love. This is for your saftey.
art block hit me cuz drawing them in my style was not doing them any justice so this is just me joining a trend late (as usual)
but i will FOREVER be pissed that inside job was ABSOLUTELY ROBBED of continuing on to a third season. like this show deadass grew on me and season 2 was PEAK and i miss the show sm, i seriously cant believe this show didnt get another season IT WAS LITERALLY GOING SO GOOD but we cant have nothing good no more smh😭srry for the rant but im so angry that companies wont give shows with so much potential a chance.
It's seriously a crime no one has given this filipino queen any love or appreciation, like at all...
So I'm just gonna give my favorite moments from her since everyone else are too much of a coward to do so. (And prove why she is just as important to the story as Frankie and Gwen).
"They were mad because Jesus told them the truth" looking ahh
But fr, I love angry kitten Andi, she has shit to say and those shits are straight up fact checked. People really need to hear her out because she's this close to saving the lower class from total annihilation. Capitalism is a lie, they all are victims! Being judged for working under a greedy ass company already tells me that Andi is supposed to represent Dana Terrace and her struggles from working under the conservative mouse company.
Even when Dana Terrace was clearly screwed by Disney, I remember when people still victim blamed her for even choosing to work there in the first place. Like Dana, Andi most likely dreamed of following her dreams into one of the biggest corporations in her world. Only to find out how insanely horrible and draining the place truly is.
Knowing Frankie wants to follow her dreams as an engineer because of Andi, the show gives glimpses of Andi's guilty face when hearing this becauase she feels like she would be letting Frankie, someone who represents many aspiring artists, down. Andi represents Dana and many professionals artist who grew to struggle with their craft and get almost nothing worthwhile that would pay it all off.
Andi has like the best face expressions. SHE'S SO FUCKING CUTE AND GOOFY! Weirdly enough she kinda reminds me of Bart and Frank Frankly from Welcome Home. Serious and grumpy, yet when expressing her emotions, its taken to the extreme in a satisfying pay off.
Me when I don't know how to hold a dangerous weapon properly but gotta protect my bestie and our damaged childhood hero anyways.
Same Andi..same. Also I'm going fucking crazy because why is the only thing thay is talked about her is that stupid theory that she got the sickness? And NOT the obvious tar addicted jack-ass???
Now these last two pictures really sells home my argument that Andi is Dana AFTER leaving Disney. Because even though she herself has been fired and been taunted for her own work that made it feel as if all her hard work and dedication meant nothing, she still goes out of her way to continue supporting Frankie's dreams to fix Guinevere and become an engineer herself. Both Andi and Frankie are love letter to Dana's fans from herself by saying she will always believe in their potential and encourage them to keep following their own dreams despite who tries to stop them. Especially if it kicks companies like Disney right in the fucking balls.
Tldr//: I love Andrea so much, she is just as relatable as Frankie!
After watching the Knights of Guinevere pilot about 5 times now, a detail that has jumped out to me is how Guinevere seems to be fully awake and aware the entire time. On first watch you might think she's too damaged to be really conscious, especially with how still she is, but if you watch her face she's reacting to everything that happens. She just can't do anything about it.
Some of these little expressions are very blink and you miss it, so I decided to make a compilation of all of them. Images under the cut, I hope you find this as interesting as I did!
Right after being pulled out of the water, she looks very much horrified. This is one of the few times we see her with an expression like this. Though it initially seems to give her the blank slack-jawed expression of something dead or deactivated, on repeat watches it becomes clear that this is an intentional expression. She is in fact afraid and hurt and unhappy here.
Closed-mouth frown when she gets dropped. Almost looks like she's wincing from the rough treatment. You could say the wince effect is just from that eye already being broken, but considering the quality of the animation I'd bet on the animators having been very intentional with the angle of this shot to create the wince effect on purpose.
Our first real confirmation that yes she's entirely aware. She moved her hand over her injured eye intentionally and has turned to look at the people shutting her in here. Her finger also tries to twitch erratically, despite being mostly missing. You could say that this is simply due to the damage, but it's also possible that she's doing this entirely on purpose. Her happy memory with meeting Frankie was when Frankie fixed that same finger. It's entirely possible that she has already recognized Frankie, and is trying to call out for help by imitating that same damaged twitch. "It's me! Remember me! Remember this!"
When the storage unit is opened, she's in the same position. Still very unhappy. But then...
She sees who opened it. She still looks pretty afraid, but this is the first smile we see from her.
A moment later, back to a frown. This is when Andi is trying to convince Frankie to tell security. Guinevere really is completely awake, listening and reacting to everything.
Then Frankie tells her happy memory story, and look at that smile!
"That's right!" Though she can't seem to speak at the moment, Guinevere does seem to intentionally open her mouth with a big smile to play along with Frankie. It's not just Frankie puppeting her here, she's genuinely trying to show agreement.
This one I'll admit I might be reading too much into, but it might also be intentional that she flops over to lean onto her friend here. It could also be the motion of the boat and all, but knowing what we know it's also possible she did it on purpose.
When they're caught. That smile is looking a little afraid now isn't it.
This is probably the tiniest, most blink and you miss it expression of the lot- She is NOT smiling in this one, quick shot. This is when Frankie's boss is trying to convince the two, with both threats and promises of a better life, to give Guinevere up. She seems to be worried that they will do exactly that.
But when Frankie makes it clear her intent to resist, Guinevere is smiling again. A smaller smile, but still a smile.
The obvious sign, the scream. This one was impossible to miss. But it wasn't her spontaneously waking up in time to warn them- she has been awake this entire time.
Once again I think they used the angle and her broken eye intentionally to create this expression. The look is almost satisfied. Maybe because she finally managed a clear communication, maybe because she knows she's done everything she could do in this moment. There's also a slight sense almost like she's bracing for impact, definitely knowing what's coming for her.
She twitches once again here. That's not water damage, she's trying to either warn them that danger is still coming or to get up and defend them.
More twitching here, almost seeming to struggle in Frankie's arms. She might be trying to get up and face Sir Arthur right here and now, or might be otherwise preparing to do it.
This smile looks distinctly afraid to me.
Just before Sir Arthur breaks though, she's twitching and trying to move again- though this one is pretty obvious.
Absolutely no one missed this, but how could I not put the best expression in the entire pilot in here? This girl she is distinctly unhinged. Rad as all heck.
After, she goes from that satisfied smile to this much more vulnerable expression. She can be vulnerable when she's being held safe and close and cozy by her friend here to help her.
One last one, again maybe a stretch- but when she's put down, her head turns towards Frankie. It might just be the jostling of being set down, but it's also possible she's turning to her friend on purpose.
I can't believe the amount of attention to detail that went into this pilot and I love every second of it.
