when loreleaf ends up on earth in the third prophecy trilogy book, he becomes, like ashleah was on the island, wretchedly sick. this is fine, because ashleah and her mother just got to this town for work and they'll be here for a few weeks, plenty of time for him to recuperate.
herein follows a non-exhaustive list of movies that ashleah forces loreleaf to watch with her while convalescing:
spirit: stallion of the cimarron
the princess diaries, both of them
she gets into a spiral trying to decide whether to show him star wars in chronological or release date order and eventually decides to just. not.
lord of the rings, she obviously clears out a whole day for extended edition
assigns him as legolas kin though he protests that that's typecasting
this is, ofc, after she's gone to the nearest joann and bought a bunch of remnants/sewing supplies so he has something familiar to do with his hands during the 9 hours of movie
assigns him wirt kin, he can't argue there
there's a different version of this list where it's ordered from "movies he understands the most" to "movies that activates his fight or flight because they're so foreign to him." the last unicorn is at the top and speed is at the bottom. ("what the fuck is a bus, ashleah. what the fuck is a gun. what the fuck is a cop. this is what a heart attack feels like. ashleah i'm about to literally die of this movie.")
