Little things I loved about Disenchantment Season 2
I think Elfo's like... Genuinely over his crush on Bean. Like he'd still do anything for her but it's not because he wants to fuck her, it's because they're BFFs. And it fixes so much about the group's chemistry that Elfo isn't being a creep anymore!
Bean and Elfo's FRIENDSHIP!!! I mean they kiss occasionally (usually for survival purposes) but like they genuinely feel like platonic friend kisses, because they don't make it weird!!! Only Matt Groening could pull off this level of genuine mlm/wlw solidarity
Elfo and Luci know eachother so fucking well??? Like Elfo just occasionally hops in and explains things about Luci to others like he's his husband or something... And there's so many moments where they're just like, hanging out with just eachother, supporting eachother, and so many implied scenes where we just catch the tail end of them just... being adorable??? They have such good chemistry holy fuck I love
Bean is such a genuinely good leader to her people, even/especially when she's not allowed to lead. That there were so many occasions where she had to help her people in a sort of underground fashion, and like... She might not be eligible for the throne, but she is the one who is holding this kingdom together. She knows her people, she knows what her people need, and she is willing to do anything, fight against any system, to make necessary change happen.
Bean's newfound scientific and artistic interests!!! She is gonna drag her kingdom outta the dark ages even if it kills her and I LOVE IT
LUCI'S BAR!!! He's making a whole new life for himself, being a productive member of his community (even though he doesn't have to be)
Luci's bar also feels like some sort of like... Community grounds too. Most buisinesses in Dreamland are kinda race-oriented, but Luci's bar has such a diverse clientele, it's refreshing to see all these different kinds of character designs all in one place! And the fact that he makes a point to learn the biological limits of every race in the kingdom, so that he can best serve his customers??? Holy shit Luci you RULE
Elfo having come to terms with his half-elf status and like, skirting the edges of Elf society, making himself their go-between, is also just so good. Elfo and Luci are like... a power couple
Elfo is... A BADASS??? Like, genuinely????? God damn the animation in those fight sequences where he just goes apeshit are SO GOOD
Speaking of badasses, there were so many badass ladies this season! The bear lady, Oona, all those steampunk knights? Queer RIGHTS
THE SETTINGS!!!!! God DAMN the setting shots this season were just GORGEOUS.
The show letting itself veer more towards modernity, with the coffee shops and the steampunk elements and everything, was so brilliant. And I'm not just talking about that one steampunk episode either, like... That security system made of little bells tied to red strings, mimicking the stereotypical lazer security system????? That shit was TIGHT as FUCK yo!!!!!
Can we please for the love of god have an official ship name for Luci x Elfo because Jesus Fuck I love them so much. I mean I've been shipping them pretty much from the get-go but god damn they were so married this season. They even got an apartment together like Jesus fuck these boys
Bean going on her own adventures!!! Granted it was a bit jarring that Luci and Elfo weren't by her side nearly as much as they were in season 1, but like, this adventurous girl can carry so many unique narratives on her own??? It's badass!
Bean being unapologetically, casually, genuinely interested in girls. She's just... A lesbean.... I can think of at least 5 different girls that she was attracted to, and she successfully flirted with at least 2 of them. A true bicon
