moana and silm wild thoughts

super crack thought but seeing a few gifs of that scene in moana where moana gives back to te fiti her heart recognizing her and sympathing in the midst of her pained fury as te ká i suddenly remembered the silmarils and feanor…. and ok i think this is a signal i’ve spent too much time in the silm fandom. if anything te fiti is more like yavanna and her two trees?? but the emphasis in how loss can make someone become irreconocible /feanor/ who causes great harm and they’re still deserving of empathy and restorement /more my hopes for him/ hum. like two different genres, and cultures, and audience. but still. it bugs me…. maybe it has to do with the mythic storytelling, that it rhymes even so far apart, no matter if the focus is more tragic or not?
