the fact that this was written two years ago and it’s still relevant… what does that tell you?

Disney vs. 7 early fairytales

calanthesfeuillemort

The 1812 version of Snow White is even worse when you consider that the girl was only seven years old in the tale (plus her unconscious body ended up being carted around by the prince until one of his servants accidentally woke her up). Also, in The Little Mermaid, the mermaid’s unable to speak because she had her tongue cut out >__<

But I’d love to see faithful adaptations of the original tales. Especially Bluebeard. We need a Bluebeard adaptation.

Actually, the original-original pre-Grimm Brothers’ stories that were passed around Europe via oral tradition are nowhere near as violent as the Grimm’s made them. Cinderella’s stepsisters were never ugly and kept their eyes, Snow White’s mother was not even a villain (instead a group of bandits were), and instead of spending the whole story napping Sleeping Beauty outwitted a dangerous bandit leader, wouldn’t let him sleep with her, and saved herself.

The original oral stories were radically changed by the Brothers Grimm to fit their personal and political beliefs. Most notably, they often added in female characters solely for the purpose of making them evil villains and took away most of the heroines’ agency and intelligence. Both brothers belonged to a small fanatical sect of Catholicism that vilified women because of the idea of Original Sin and Wilhelm in particular had a particularly deep hatred of women. The Grimms were actually pretty horrible people. Those cannibalistic queens and ugly stepsisters and the mass amount of violence against women didn’t exist until the Grimms wanted them to. Their ideas stuck so soundly though that we now assume they were in the original tales and that these terrible characters and ideas come out of some perceived barbaric Old World culture. But in truth they’re really the Grimms’ weird obsession with hating women showing through. The original oral folklore focused on the heroes’ and heroines’ good deeds and used them as ways to teach cultural norms and a society’s rules and encouraged girls to be quick-witted and street-savvy instead of passive princesses, and the Grimms promptly stripped that all away.

“Grimms Bad Girls and Bold Boys” by Ruth Bottingheimer is an excellent book on this

someone: wow i can’t believe kesha’s actually good now!

me, externally: haha, yeah, her new stuff is incredible

me, internally: her stuff has ALWAYS been incredible. just because her old stuff was more party and dance music and used autotune and was marketed towards teenage girls doesn’t change the fact that her lyrics have always been clever, heartwarming, and just plain fun. even if her old music wasn’t personally your cup of tea, you can’t pretend that she hasn’t always been a talented musician with a great voice – y’all talk like she didn’t release stripped-down versions of her old music with no autotune years ago, PROVING her voice is amazing. animal, cannibal and warrior had so many bops on them, so many uplifting party songs, and from the very beginning, she has been subverting and satirizing the drunken party girl image her label built up for her. and let’s not even get into the fact that she has a genius level iq, and is an all-around great person and has always been outspoken about human rights, and is an inspiration for abuse survivors everywhere, and,

PRAYING

nentindo-deactivated20210501

i get the “lol i’m gonna IRONICALLY see The Emoji Movie” but do not buy a ticket for it. i’m legitimately serious, i really think irony is a part of their marketing strategy and they know they’ll get a quick buck from that audience

tickethop or torrent it, just don’t give Sony any money for this shit. i could not, in a good conscious, pay directly to view this movie, and your money only tells them that you want more, not that you think it’s hilariously shit.

go see it if you want to, fine, just do whatever you can and go out of your way to make sure Sony Pictures Animation does not profit a single cent from you

“Life ain’t always fair, but hell is living in resentment Choose redemption, your happy ending’s up to you” Kesha - Learn To Let Go

I’m ready to support Kesha in all that she does for her coming album. “Praying” is an incredibly cathartic single.

I only made it to 5:00 this year. Momma’s at the store getting the cake, but it looks like she may be the only one to sing. That’s what pushed me to cry this year. Still no “happy birthday” from Daddy. I’ve lost count of how many years it’s been. He probably doesn’t even remember. It seems no matter how low I set my expectations, they’re still always too high.

If things aren’t better next year, I honestly don’t know what I’ll do.
