Last week I failed to write about 3x01 because I think I was in a permanent state of shock for a full week after that perfection of an episode, it still makes me cry with happiness! :â) At the Lorcisse scenes, obviously, the Frary scenes were harder to cope with than I expected, and I was prepared for real sadness- well I thought I was :âââââââââ(
But this week, because of what has happened with Lorcisse, and because of the negative posts I have seen about them, I wanted to share some thoughts that will hopefully make fellow Lorcisse shippers who are a bit scared and doubtful a little more at ease.Â
FIRST: Frary
Oh my gosh these two just get sadder and sadder and sadder! I genuinely cannot COPE with their scenes because they are just so beautiful but absolutely, catastrophically heartbreaking:ââââ( Every time I think about them and their situation I want to just curl up into a ball and die because it is just so unfair :ââ(
   The worst thing about these two is that there is no hope because we all know Francisâs fate, and it is just so horrible to watch them so in love with each other and this illness forcing them to part. It is just too much, and too sad. S o I am sorry I cannot go on because the tears are forming.Â
SECOND: Claude and Leith
I LOVE THESE TWO! They are so cute together! I love their quick, sarcastic and confrontational remarks to each other, they genuinely make me smile; I think the writers did a really good job with these two, and I just hop they continue to have some fun, because heaven knows this shows needs it!
I am just going to skip to it-Â
THIRD: Lorisse
I have seen a lot of posts about how Narcisse is using and trading Lola as if she is some sort of price to be won and how he has just manipulated her feelings, but before the war on opinions starts⌠how about we just seize fire for the moment and look at the factsâŚÂ
Yes, Narcisse shouldnât have done what he did, in the way he did it. It seems that Narcisse does the wrong thing for the right reasons or at least with the right intentions for doing it. It is clear to me that he planted the rat in her bath because he only want to PROVE to her that he would protect her NO MATTER THE COST.Â
After all, Narcisse tried all throughout 3x01 to prove to Lola that he would protect her against anyone or anything- even with his own life. Which for a man who values self preservation as much as he does is one hell of a thing to promise- letâs be honest.Â
We know that Narcisse will go to great lengths in getting what he wants, and here what he wants is to marry Lola, but the first step in doing this is to convince her that they could be a REAL couple as opposed to just LOVERS- which, again, can we all just appreciate the jump he has accomplished since well, we first met Narcisse.
BUT! What we also have to remember is the fact that this is still THE SAME MAN!! He is controlling, pragmatic and a little scary when it comes to those serious situations and therefore those characteristics are going to keep on popping up every now and then in his actions. If they didnât it wouldnât be the Narcisse we all fell in love with in the first place AND it would be as if the writers completely changed his character which is no good FOR ANYONE- including Lola. Thus, he did what he did, in the way he did it to get what he wants, AND give Lola what he knows she truly wants, âa real familyâ, and the accomplish that he needed Lola to let go of her fear, which I do actually agree she needed to do a little.Â
By doing what he did, he convinced Lola that fear should not stop her from doing what she wants and being with who she wants. She needs to take the plunge and the risk, because it is very risky, and open herself up to loving this man-openly! Also, on this note, because Narcisse has never been in love, I am guessing no woman has actually fallen in love with him, so because he has such strong feelings for Lola, he needed her to admit her feelings for him because he needs that reassurance;Â the feeling that he is wanted and needed by another (which is what we all want isnât it?)
Building on this, Narcisse did risk everything to be with Lola, which is something he has NEVER done before. He has NEVER let his heart rule over his head, and so he needed Lola to return her love because he feels so vulnerable- because of his lack of experience with love.Â
I am sorry if this isnât making sense by the way :s
Bringing me on to this short note, Narcisse has NO idea  how a real relationship works, what it requires and what it should consist of, so of course he is going to get things wrong from time to time!
Discussing the WAY in which he eventually got Lola to admit her feelings and let go of her fears towards Catherine, I admit it was MENTAL⌠BUT! Let us just remember who it was exactly he was trying to implicate in putting the rat in Lolaâs bath⌠CATHERINE!
Narcisse knows Catherine: her sadistic, evil ways; her crazy, rash actions; her scheming, mental plans, (need I MENTION the poor horse?) so in order for Lola to believe it was Catherine who did this, he had to do something so crazy that Lola would immediately point the finger at Catherine rather than wonder who is was. I admit it was a it manipulative but a the end of the day, he is HUMAN, he is going to make mistakes and he has to learn the consequences of his actions which we know he is willing to do- he wants to change be the person who âdeservesâ Lola- which come on is the SWEETEST THING EVER!
I think he will be able to change, and be someone who deserves someone like Lola but, as with most things, this is going to take time.Â
But can we just revel in some of the INCREDIBLE scenes they had this episode?!
Examples:
âI want you foreverâÂ
The way he drawls, âLola.âÂ
One thing I am not sure about is, did they actually sleep together? If they did, I feel cheated! All I know is that I want MORE kissing scenes - in bed -, more affection and a morning after scene!!!
A side note
I miss Kenna :( BRING HER BACK!
Also, I LOVE Greer and the pirate! They are so hilariously cute!
