Fakir and Ahiru’s entire raison d’être is centered around protecting Mytho at all costs. Meanwhile, Rue is the only one who actually DOES protect Mytho, and as thanks she gets carted off to have her soul devoured by her own adopted bird-father. NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED I GUESS

Rue, jumping in front of Mytho: NO, TAKE ME INSTEAD

Ahiru, jumping in front of Rue: DON’T HURT HER, TAKE MY HEART

Fakir, jumping in front of Ahiru: NO I’LL GIVE UP MY HEART FOR HER 

Mytho, jumping in front of Fakir: I THINK I WAS JUST A GIANT BIRD?

HEY BASTARD I DON’T REMEMBER RESTORING THE HEART SHARD OF FLYING INTO YOUR INEVITABLE DOOM TO UNLEASH UNSPEAKABLE EVIL ON THIS WORLD

OH so Mytho’s heart wasn’t guarding the gates to the city to keep the fairy tale characters in, it was to keep Rue’s shitty stepdad out

Tutu: I will do whatever it is the Prince wants. 

Mytho: I JUST WANNA FLY TO THE ROOFTOPS, SCREECH AT THE PASSERSBY, HUNT FOR LIVE RODENTS, AND DANCE TIL THE SUN COMES UP

Tutu: With some obvious exceptions. 

all the pieces of Mytho’s heart are like “oh great we have to go back into THIS loser?” like, you ARE this loser

emu wearing a yellow hoodie: oh yikes! that large talking bird in human clothes gave me quite a fright
