I know losing a pet is heartbreaking, but does anyone else think her mourning Reggie is also her clinging onto her life with Aslan? Man, I'm so intrigued why they still follow each other lol
Definitely. Look, I mourned my dog for a long time but... how do I say this while emphasizing that I know how devasting it is to lose your pet... it’s also just a dog and that’s what happens. Don’t get me wrong, for a couple years after my dog died I’d literally just have to
think of him and I’d immediately get tears in my eyes, but at the same time life moves on without these histrionics. Sorry. He was a senior dog and had a long life. To me this is an example of being in a depression and things like this become way bigger in your mind than they really are. Also, she is indulged and always gets what she wants and I think she wrestles with things where she can’t have what she wants because it’s out of her control.
I guess what I mean is, Estée gives the impression that everyone else has immortal pets but poor Estée was unlucky enough to have
a dog that died and everyone must be thinking “My god, Estée, the tragedy! How do you go on? So unlucky to have had a dog that died!”
But more to your point about Aslan, yes I think Reggie represents that tie to her old life... I think it’s weird she got a tattoo of that beach that reminds her of Reggie because thats where her and Aslan would take him together, and Aslan would carry him to the water. Like it’s the one tattoo where surely it’d make her think of Aslan too.
