Should I go on making side-blogs to post info/memes about my fics, or should I keep it all in my main blog?
Side-blogs
Main blog
Well, everyone already voted, so I guess this blog is going to become a whole lot messier from now on 😅
I never liked those posts that reduce the Disney princesses to “girl who overacts about something and dramatically flings herself down and bawls” (super popular in the early 10’s and somehow that’s how a shocking majority view the classics now) but after an Aladdin (1992) rewatch, it’s especially egregious that they ever included Jasmine in that.
This part. This is the part I’m talking about
This is not a woman falling to pieces because her father won’t let her marry a man she just met.
This is a woman born to a life she has very little say in. She has never had a genuine friend (besides a tiger). She is facing a marriage to a man she doesn’t know and doesn’t like but duty (and the law) demands it. So she took a risk, ran away, ran to a world she doesn’t know or understand and when she landed in trouble (serious, serious trouble) a stranger came to her aid. She finally (finally!) made a real connection with someone but they didn’t get much time together before the guards showed up and she had to reveal who she was.
This moment when she’s crying her heart out? It comes after she’s been told that the first person she ever connected with, the first person to be genuinely interested in her for who she is and not what she is, the first real friend she has ever made, was executed… because of her.
She believes a good, innocent person has lost their life because of her actions, and what’s more, it brings home the reality for her that she cannot have a normal life or normal relationships, because see the consequences one little attempt wrought?
I actually love this trope. People treat crying like some kind of moral failure. Boys shouldn't cry, girls *can* cry, but that's also what makes them inferior. If this is not an example of toxic masculity, I don't know what is.
Crying is normal. Even if it's over something trivial. We all face a lot of struggles in their lives, whether we acknowledge it or not. Something minor might end up breaking the camel's back.
Anyway, here's one of my favorite scenes in Beauty and the Beast:
Belle's reaction is completely understandable. I think Mrs. Potts put it best: "The girl lost her father and her freedom all in one day." That's not overreacting!
Thank you so much for adding Belle!
Really, none of the classic princesses deserve the misinterpretation.
Cinderella?
Again, this is not after someone told her “yOu CaN’t MaRrY a MaN yOu JuSt MeT”—this is after she went to great lengths to get ready for the ball, adhering to the intentionally difficult (meant to be impossible) stipulations set by her abusive step-mother for her to be allowed to attend (when really she was invited and had as much right as the others to attend). She made that dress (I can’t recall off the top of my head if the classic animated version was also her mother’s old dress she restyled or not but still, she put in a ton of work on top of all the extra house work) and what did her step-family do? They tore to shreds while she was wearing it. Of course she’s lost hope: it’s the final straw after years and years of doggedly remaining optimistic despite constant harsh treatment.
Let’s go to another favourite: Mulan.
Mulan’s just had the worst day.
She tried her hardest to live up to her family’s and her society’s expectations and vision of a perfect bride but she failed. Not only did it go wrong, but she was publicly humiliated by the Matchmaker—by extension, humiliating her family.
Granted, her family has been kind and sympathetic about the whole thing. Her father even goes to encourage her, assuring her of his unconditional love for her and his confidence that she’ll get it right next time.
She’s just beginning to smile when the drums pound and news of war reaches their village. Her father—her beloved father who’s already a veteran and lives with a disability—is expected as the only male in their family to suit up and head out in the morning.
Mulan can’t help. Nothing she says will be listened to and she can’t take his place (until, of course, she thinks of a way to do so which this moment of crying it out in the rain leads to—score one for having a good cry and clearing your head).
There’s of course more. Take any princess’ dramatic crying momentTM and review the context and I’ll bet you’ll see it’s never as trivial as some have framed it. And, yes, like prev pointed out, it’s this awful thing of people believing boys can’t cry and girls can but then they can never be taken seriously.
Crying is healthy. And crying in response to emotional distress is totally normal. Writers and storytellers across the ages have understood it and portrayed it.
Has anybody added Ariel already?
She didn't deserve to see the things that she held dearly destroyed right before her eyes by her own father. No, it wasn't just about the cute guy she just met. Her family had never approved of her interests and she felt so isolated that she hid them away. Just collecting random stuff that she felt oddly inspired by. Then Triton obliterated it. Her memories, all the care she put into organizing it and keeping it safe—gone. He couldn't accept her passion because it didn't align with his beliefs, so he destroyed it. The ultimate rejection from a parent, the very people who are supposed to love you and make you feel safe.
My girl deserved better—which she ultimately got in the end—but still.

i fucking hate the “this is the good luck post.” Girl stop contributing to a superstitious environment with ur anecdotes there’s a million goddamn notes on it it’s statistically reasonable that a bunch of people remember the good things that happen after they reblog it
this is the statistically reasonable post, reblogging it will have no effect except for putting this post on your blog
guys this post really works! I reblogged it and it really did put the post on my blog! you need to try it!
simply cannot ever resist what i call the little mermaid or the tin man or the pinnochio plot, the one about a character who is either inhuman or human but outside in some way, constantly searching for whatever it is that they consider to be the quintessential proof of humanity, preoccupied by it so deeply that they fail to realize the proof is in the act and fact of the search itself

THIS ONE FUCKING WORKS. REBLOG IT.
this for real fucking works
To be brutally honest, I'm kind of disappointed in Charlie for how nonchalant she was at the end of S2. Assuming Husk and Cherri told her about what happened with Angel, I think that Charlie should be at least a little bit more concerned, not just “things aren't the same without him here, but we've got lots of new people to redeem”.
Girl, how about worrying for you so-called friend? His abusive boss/owner is being hailed as a hero as you speak. Who knows what Valentino could do to Angel while he is this high on power?
And Charlie was the one who decided to work with the Vees this season, giving Vox easy access to break Angel outside the hypnosis. Shouldn't she feel a little guilty over that, maybe reflecting on how intent does not erase impact, and how much her actions affected someone she claims to care about?
I just... sigh... I sure hope this just means we will see more growing on her part because I am just so... disappointed.
Stop volunteering to be the village sacrifice we all know you're not a virgin. The dragon probably wouldn't even be into you.
Untie yourself from that altar right now.
Look. I didn't want to say anything because it's kind of a touchy subject, but the dragon doesn't actually take these "brides" back to its lair full of riches and add them to a harem. Okay? It's a big fucking lizard with a brain the size of an orange, it just roasts and eats them.
That's why we always pick the most useless airhead to sacrifice come harvest season.
Now come on, get those chains off. Where did you even get these? Oh you made them? See that's the kind of craftsmanship the village needs you for. We'll have a big orgy after the ritual and if you want a bunch of us will dress up as dragons and take turns having a go at you. It'll be nice, you'll see.
Yes, yes, I know, not the same. Well not all dreams are attainable, in the end.
I can't stop thinking about the eventual Huskerdust first kiss... because I just know it would be SO SHY~~
Hear me out. We all know Husk's got it going on and that Angel is literally hotter than Hell itself, and yet Husk doesn't believe he deserves genuine, selfless love and care—even though that's exactly what he feels for Angel—and Angel has been so stripped of his agency that he feels more like a thing than a person.
So, when they finally get to a place where they admit they have feelings for one another, I just imagine Husk trying to act calm to not freak Angel out, but on the inside he is so overwhelmed by this feeling of... hope.
He is fumbling with his words, stuttering, his hands are fidgeting, but otherwise he is staying still because he doesn't want to Angel to get the wrong idea that he is just attracted to him.
Meanwhile, Angel is just as overwhelmed. He is scared because Husk is his friend and he doesn't want to ruin what they have. But he indeed has romantic feelings for Husk, too. This isn't about sex or like when he flirts for fun. Husk has proven to him that he sees Angel as a person, and he cares and appreciates him as he is. Still, it all feels so surreal, so he keeps hesitating even as he leans in to kiss him.
Husk remains still, though. He wants this to be Angel's choice.
I want us to think about this for a moment:
Husk couldn't convince Angel to return because Angel's wish to protect him and everyone in the hotel is stronger than his need for comfort and his desire for freedom. Stronger than the pain. Protecting Husk, Cherri, Charlie, and the others from himself is the only solace he has left.
I see Huskerdust as that kind of ship that doesn't need to kiss for us to know they're in love.
... I mean, I do hope they kiss, but still.
Okay, okay. I have fun imagining all the ways the Hazbins could save Angel now, but I really, really, really want to believe Angel has grown enough to pick himself up from the ground.
I'm still traumatized by the reveal and his reaction and by Vox in general but I want to believe Angel is just so done with the Vees at this point. D-O-N-E. DONE.
He is tired of people stripping him of his autonomy. He is sick of losing.
So, yeah, his spirit is broken but now's not the time to get depressed. His friends need him.
It's so very unlikely that this will happen... but it'd be hilarious if Angel is feeling down and blaming himself for what is happening with Vox, and it were Alastor the one to give him a pep talk of sorts to snap him out of it. I don't really know how that would work, but I imagine it something...
Alastor, after getting free from his bounds: You're not going to accomplish anything if you stay here sulking.
Angel: Says the guy that spent days tied to a chair. Everybody knows you could have freed yourself sooner if you wanted. So what was this? Where was this energy before?
Alastor: I don't know, but it is here now. Gotta run. I just found out the people I gave up everything for are in kind of a pickle. See ya around, Anthony.

Now that I can think somewhat clearer, what if Alastor will be the one to make Angel snap out of it? What if he let himself be captured only to figure out what the Vees (Vox) are really up to and destroy them from within, and that includes finding out what intel they have on Charlie and the hotel?
Now, by now Vox must have gathered enough information and there's no way to keep him from using it, but I feel Alastor is just so unpredictable that he will break Angel's hypnosis on a whim, and that will unleash the chain of events that will lead to the Vees' (Vox's) downfall.
Alastor, I'm trusting your force of chaos in this one, do NOT disappoint me!
I'm still reeling from Hazbin Hotel E5 & 6, but it's fine... I am fine... I can totally contain myself until next week... It'll come by in a blink... This is fine... I am fine...
