Posting this iconic piece of media that I just NEVER found online isolated except in an archived reddit thread
it kills me that he has no idea how funny he is
Cats logic 🤷🐱🐈
Finally made a sheng reference! Now I won't make tiny continuity mistakes!
What I’d give for one of the Cinderella remakes to go into how when you’re in an isolated and abusive situation, sometimes you need to be saved and you’re not weak if you can’t escape by yourself
I’ve never been a fan of bad faith reinterpretations of fairy tales, especially ones which flatten the originals into “princesses is saved by a prince and nothing else”, to then go #girlboss. The princess can save herself because she’s a strong female character! (Implying if you’re in a bad situation, it’s because you’re not strong enough to get out)
Also the concept of the Prince over the course of like… a couple hours hanging out with Cinderella going from ‘Haha nice I really like you’ to ‘oh fuck i can tell from context clues alone that your home situation is FUCKED UP’ it’s good shit ‘I have just met you but ON GOD I’m gonna get you out of there beautiful mystery woman’ cinderella makes desperately yelling into the night ‘how can I find you again!??!’ when she’s taking off that much more poignant really
He’s been trained to read the room. To read the context clues. To read politics and scheming and planning and people. He’s a Prince, it’s either that or accidentally drink poison by age 15. And he reads her and …
She’s impossibly wealthy. The dress isn’t a fabric he can recognize, but it’s beaded with cut diamonds, faintly milky opals that shimmer with a rainbow, little pale aquamarines, and somewhere are little bells gently ringing with each step - he’s a Prince and he can’t afford to dress like that. The slippers ring too … there is nothing like that crafted by the hands of humans. That’s fairy stuff. She has an in with them that eclipses royal politics. She is powerful in the Old Ways.
All this wraps around the poorest woman he’s ever seen in his entire life, and he’s seen some very, very, poor people in his time.
Poor in money, but poor in “oh you poor thing!” as well. This is someone who has been robbed blind. This is someone who carried themselves waiting for the lash, for a browbeating, for harsh, cruel, abrupt, punishment.
He expects her to be haughty, or hard, or meek or… something else… but she’s just nice. She’s just … nice.
The rigid posture comes out of his back, his tongue unsticks. She’s like sitting by the embers of a low, calm, fire. He feels warmed and rested simply speaking to her. He wonders if it’s magic, and it might be, but if it is it is magic that is her own.
And that terrifies him, because he’s trained to see these things and he knows someone with a cruel hand is waiting to douse her, and snuff her, and beat the last glimmer out of her shining eyes - eyes that put that dress to shame and and and and… she’s gone.
Oh god, she’s gone. It will be all over her sweet, kind, warm face that she transgressed and … oh god they’ll kill her, whoever they are. This will embarrass them and if there’s anything he knows, it’s that you don’t humiliate someone who has power over you and walk away unscathed.
And all he has is a fairy slipper that will only ever fit her foot (it’s not merely shoe size, it’s a kind of spiritual fit as well), and the vain hope that he can keep such a bright light from burning out. It doesn’t even touch his heart that what he’s feeling is a kind of pure philia, not until it enraptures him soul to bones, all at once. Oh god, oh no, oh shit… he’s reached well above his station, but…he can try to be good and worthy.
The way he sees it, sometimes even the strongest people can be brought low and need just… a little help. She had enough in her to do whatever she had to do to free herself of those evil relations if she had to, but she shouldn’t have to. There’s no glory in blood. Sometimes it’s okay for the ending to be happily ever after.
#and most retelling made to ‘fix’ this story peeves me#bc mostly they try so much to ‘fix’ Cinderella herself#in a way that undercut the theme of abuse this story has for it
Wow, that’s a fantastic, concise way to communicate a lot of the issues I’ve had with Cinderella reimaginings. The original Cinderella film wasn’t winning awards for its characterisation- I think it’s a great example of how older Disney films followed the fairy tale style of stories through archetypes rather than characters- but it does say something about how people see the story by how they try to add to or change her, rather than the supporting characters, plot, or pacing.

speaking of america’s favorite fruit (not optional) i love applerankings.com so fucking much. absolute necessity for any real Appleheads out there
you just don’t get shit like this anywhere else folks
you guys i am so in love with this fandom. you people read 2 whole books about a solar system with 9 planets that is stated to have been the cradle of humanity and you are still surprised when it turns out that it’s like, THE solar system.
Just fully no thoughts, head empty, marinating in the lesbianism of the situation without a single neuron firing. i salute your dedication
[ID: Image one is a screenshot of a post by OP which us a meme that reads: which is more lesbian? [Lesbian flag] every lesbian on earth or [The covers of “Gideon the Ninth” and Harrow the Ninth"] whatever the fuck is going on on pluto.“ It’s captioned “idk what they put in the water over there.” Following is a collection of tags that read:
#THESE BOOKS TAKE PLACE ON PLUTO????? (caps: these books take place on Pluto???)
#wh… why did it never occur to me that the ninth house could literally just be Pluto
#WAIT A FUCKING SECOND (caps: Wait a fucking second) #they r the same solar system planets????? :0 (surprised emoticon) #I’m already in htn n I didnt know that…
#OH ITS PLUTO THAT MAKES SENSE (caps: Oh its Pluto that makes sense). End ID]
