THERE WAS ONLY ONE CHAIR because presumably, the queen doesn't understand Eric's fascination & servants keep away out of respect for him. So, there's no use having chairs around since nobody hangs out with him here. The implication that he must've felt alone for years until, well, her. They're twin souls. I'm gonna sob in the corner real quick.
AND
This should not be applauded, but that mofo knelt on the floor afternoon 'till evening so she can sit (or not, she might be sitting on a box here) on the only comfortable seat in his library like a fucking gentleman.Β
A prince on his knees, literally and figuratively. gddamn it, disney.

I wonder, I wonder. If my heart keeps singing, will my song go winging. To someone, whoβll find me. And bring back a love song to me?
i am so unwell over this scene you have no idea
the fact that we can tell EXACTLY what eric is thinking, how he goes from realizing ariel is a mermaid to recognizing that there's a bigger thing to focus on and he'll process the reveal later, when the woman he loves isn't in danger.
how he immediately looks down at ariel and sees her expression, he sees how terrified she is, because for the past three days he's done nothing BUT learn how to read her expressions, so he knows her fears without her having to say anything, and his only thought goes to "keep her safe, keep her here, keep her close"
and can we please talk about the physical affection between these two???? how ariel's hand goes from laying on eric's chest to holding onto his shoulder, how eric goes from just kind of holding ariel up to pulling her as close as he possibly can, curling himself around her and surrounding her in his arms, fully prepared to take the brunt of ursula's power if it comes down to it. because she's his world, and he refuses to lose her again.
and eric's GLARE??? HELLO???? the man just realized that the silent girl he's fallen in love with and the girl who saved his life is the same person and he just wanted to kiss her and celebrate that but now he is PISSED and he just wants to live happily ever after so he can and will do everything he can to get that ending for him and ariel.
βUnder The Sea is the most complicated production number weβve ever done. There is one live actor and everything else is digitally created. We thought, how do we do this? How do we begin? And I remember thinking about Fantasia (1940). I thought of Walt Disney and I remembered when he did Fantasia, the Nutcracker Suite sequence, he used the Ballet Russes as a template. He used their bodies to help him create the dancing flowers or the snowflakes or the mushrooms. I thought we should work with a dance company. So we brought the Alvin Ailey company over to London to work with them to create this musical number and we asked them to actually replicate these different sea creatures and how they moved. So that our CGI artists would have a body to work from and to mold from. It was insanity in a way. But I will say, at the end of the day, having that beautiful dance company there with us and being able to work with actual dancers was really the key. I think that was the key to getting into this [musical number] and figuring it out.β - Rob Marshall THE LITTLE MERMAID (2023) Dir. Rob Marshall
taylor swift is actually for the girls who were known but never popular, fit in with many friend groups but never in the group chats, talked to at school but never invited to the parties, for the girls who have friends but still feel lonely because they were never their best friends favorites
βLove is a choice. Not chemistry. Not some kind of magical power. It is a choice. You choose to love someone. You love, and you love hard, because if you do not, you are lost.β - Queen Charlotte, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story
