before anyone starts that “they’re step sisters!!!” with some borderline homophobic takes about anyone who sees themselves in mebh/robyn as sapphic youth, i implore you to read this interview.
the creators make no claim of coding them as sisters, nor do they have anything against those who see anything between the unintentional but welcome subtext of mebh/robyn’s friendship and overall relationship. if they really, truly intended moll and bill to end up together by the end of the film, i REALLY don’t think they would’ve had something as basic as a flower being given to symbolise that. heterosexual relationships are beyond normalized in media at this point. if they were together, then surely a kiss would’ve followed, right?
i seriously doubt that’s the message the creators wanted to leave off on, especially when just hours prior we witnessed the same to bill giving a flower to his daughter.
AND robyn doing the same to mebh.
i personally see it as the ties between wolfwalkers and humans being mended after being broken for so long. it’s definitely a caring gesture, just not one that’s romantic. it’s open to interpretation of course, but you’re grasping at straws if you seriously believe this removes any and all potential subtext people could see between these girls over a flower.
Also…
Just saying, people.
(Thx to @mebyn for this illustrative material)
