I’m laughing. Also, the bathroom must be full of babysitters and little kids.
Also. Plot devices.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"In Soaps in the 80s and 90s, it was common for children to be “upstairs”. It wasn’t unusual for a five year old to be upstairs for a time and come back as a college student. It seems as if the “restroom” in Once is the equivalent to the “bathroom” in Soaps. The place where characters go off in limbo.
As for our ships, unless Phillip dies I do not see Sleeping Warrior happening. The biggest potential would lie in pairing Mulan with Ruby or Merida.
Considering there have been whispers of a Brave sequel in the works, or even the potential of one, I’m going to agree with Matt that Disney/Pixar might be placing restrictions on her portrayal. No romantic interest.
That leaves Red, a character not in the Princess pantheon. She might be the one they would use…and then kill her off.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t recall seeing Phillip outside flashbacks since he was turned into a monkey. Just sayin’
Adam said at the end of 3B that Philip was returned to his human form and was just “in the bathroom” during the huge party scene at Granny’s.
Is that where King George is, too? He wasn’t eaten by Ruby?
Well…I guess both could’ve been true…

S2 deleted scene shows that George was kept in the mines. Not sure what happened to him since.

Given everything that happened in S3 & S4….I’m 99% positive George starved to death in those mines. Nobody knew he was there except Charming I think, and he had his hands full and probably forgot all about his prisoner.

I prefer my version of King George’s fate. It was kind of implied by the end of “Child of the Moon,” anyway.
I’m still on the Sleeping Warrior train. I think its sort of a cop out to pair two tough chicks together and say “here you go lesbians!”
I don’t really see the BraveWarrior potential as being that simplistic. If you look at Aurora, she’s got the long, wavy, flowy hair, (that had become reddish by the last time Mulan saw her because apparently they have hairdye in FTL), she wears beautiful dresses that make her look princess-y, she’s feisty and opinionated and will stand up for what she believes in, and she’s got a lovely Irish lilt. In that description, switch Irish for Scottish and you’ve got a description of Merida. So if Aurora was Mulan’s type, I’d have no trouble believing that Merida would be her type as well. The fact that Merida and Mulan could teach each other archery and swordplay because they’re both tough fighter chicks is just a bonus.
Granted, they might have been told they’re not allowed to give Merida a girlfriend in the show if they have sequel movie plans for her, but I’m just sayin’, I could totally buy that Mulan could fall for her, given who we’ve seen her fall for previously. Someone like Red, or Lily, they’re not Aurora-esque at all, so putting Mulan with either of them would feel a bit out of the blue to me, and would feel more like they were just grasping at something to fill the LGBT relationship void. (Which I guess might be their only real motivation to give Mulan a relationship, so maybe I shouldn’t be bothering to think about which ship I’d find more believable within the already established context of the show, because, well, this show.)
Well. They are going to do an LGBT relationship with someone this season. We don’t know whom with , but my guess is Mulan and…someone. I’d say Merida since both are more apt to vanish off to Forgotten Character Island/Bathroom after this season.

I believe it when I see it. The few sentences by the creators, made big by media headlines, sounded not much different from what they’ve said too many times before.
Neat thing for the writers is, they left it ambiguous enough what Mulan wanted to say to Aurora the last time we saw her, so that they could go on as if nothing were there. At least some in the audience still are in utter and wishful denial and insisting, Mulan wanted to confess to her best friend Aurora that she has feelings for Philip. And these people insist, Mulan had feelings for Philip, so in their ignorant black-and-white logic she can’t have feelings of the same kind for a woman at all (of course, bi- or pansexual people are unicorns and not real or at best in a phase, I know, I live with being less believable than a creature of myth and fairy tales for well 30 years now).
If they pick up for once where they left the story of a character, they should work with Mulan as LGBTQI character. I don’t want a typical coming-out story, LGBTQI drama, they could do something better. If it were me, I would bring Mulan back with a woman at her side, she met her in the time in between, is now happily in love, and as a team and without big questions by others, they help to safe the day, hold the fort. I mean, it would fit to the shows writing pattern to let a lot of relationship building dynamic happen off screen, and it would avoid a tiresome coming-out story trap.
And when the day is saved, then let Mulan and her love just ride away into the sunset, or sunrise for a change, happily to some far, far away land, so these writers can leave them well alone.
We’ll see.
