Neverafter’s Cinderella is so fucking cool but also for some reason this image just popped into my head and I couldn’t stop laughing until I made it
i love fantasy high and all the bad kids equally but there is something so he's-just-a-kid about riz. like. he's just a kid.
I think an interesting theme for this season is the idea of the magic and the beings that effectively control the narrative of this world being deeply unprepared for a changing world and their unwillingness to empathise with what people have had to do as a means of survival. It's not that they are unaware of the cruelty in this world, it's that they would rather people suffer horrible fates than do something slightly out of order.
ricky matsui moment
I don't think disney is the 'bad guy' in neverafter. I think disney's method of retelling fairytales is correlated to the supposed happiness of the versions of characters in Mother Goose's book. In his conversation with the goose, she said that the people in his book are happy and comfortable but that they can be removed and returned to a darker reality, and it's up for him to decide whether the characters staying happy and safe is the best thing to do.
The disney fairytales are heavily sanitised; everyone is far happier and better off than in most other versions. That would all be fine - except that disney is a capitalist nightmare powerhouse, and their versions of fairytales have become the predominant versions. The question which arises is whether or not these sanitised versions should be so dominant.
On one hand: don't these characters, and the people who identify and love them, deserve to be happy and comfortable? But so much of Neverafter is explicitly about how these characters are just that - characters. They are elements of a story. And more specifically, they are fairytale characters - characters of stories so old and so fundamental that we tell them over and over again in ways which reflect how society has changed. When only the happy versions of the stories are told, there is, in a way, permission given to look away from and diminish the history of awful things we used to do and say and justify. The terrible, violent versions of sleeping beauty are just as much a valid version of that fairytale as the disney one. Do we have a right to look away? Do we have a right to write a softer, lighter story where all the elements of patriarchy and oppression remain but the violence which highlighted those elements are absent?
can't be normal about the wolf in neverafter. what if you were cast as the villain. what if you spent your entire existence causing harm and fear and hurting others. what if you were just a wolf who needed to eat to keep from starving. what if you came across a little girl whose only family you had just killed and eaten and with your strange fairytale logic you gave her the gift of anger.
murph creating characters is always like what if i was a fucking loser.
this scene really drives the point that pinocchio is still a child and OUCH
