RAY HUGS EMMA SO GENTLY IM CRYING

Here’s the thing regarding the season-two Emma, Norman and Ray reunion-

In the manga, ray and Emma have gone though so so much together before they meet Norman. It makes their bond stronger, and really sets their dynamic in stone. This also leads up to the eventual seven walls arc and the moment where Ray says this to Emma:

which was, and still is one of my favorite moments in tpn. (sadly, I doubt we will ever get this scene, and if we did it would not have the same emotional impact)

Not to mention they took out all of Emma’s character development, individuality, and personal strength.

it’s more like:

Oh? Norman’s back? Great. 

Emma is “saved” from her misery. Emma and Ray were hopeless on their own anyway.

There were no badass Emma moments; the anime did not give her a chance to shine and to show that she is capable of taking care and providing for herself and all her family (and found family).

(This is why the goldy pond arc is so important: the responsibility of Emma taking and leading the 40+ children, defeating lewvis on her own, doing this without ray, learning to cope, etc.)

so now is Emma just going to sit back and let Norman take the wheel? it’s like to the writers, it’s not a girls job to fight. EMMA DOESN’T NEED TO BE SAVED. SHE SAVES HERSELF (with the help of others, but by herself nonetheless)

I am so mad at the anime for taking our real Emma away. The Emma who is wholeheartedly devoted to protecting her family. The Emma who is optimistic in the worst of circumstances. The Emma who doesn’t rely on Norman or Ray to save her. The strong Emma. The real Emma.

The Emma we all know and love.
