I’m tired of hearing people say “Disney’s Cinderella is sanitized. In the original tale, the stepsisters cut off parts of their feet to make the slipper fit and get their eyes pecked out by birds in the end.”

I understand this mistake. I’m sure a lot of people buy copies of the complete Grimm’s Fairy Tales, see their tale of Aschenputtel translated as “Cinderella”, and assume what they’re reading is the “original” version of the tale. Or else they see Into the Woods and make the same assumption, because Sondheim and Lapine chose to base their Cinderella plot line on the Grimms’ Aschenputtel instead of on the more familiar version. It’s an understandable mistake. But I’m still tired of seeing it.

The Brothers Grimm didn’t originate the story of Cinderella. Their version, where there is no fairy godmother, the heroine gets her elegant clothes from a tree on her mother’s grave, and where yes, the stepsisters do cut off parts of their feet and get their eyes pecked out in the end, is not the “original.” Nor did Disney create the familiar version with the fairy godmother, the pumpkin coach, and the lack of any foot-cutting or eye-pecking.

If you really want the “original” version of the story, you’d have to go back to the 1st century Greco-Egyptian legend of Rhodopis. That tale is just this: “A Greek courtesan is bathing one day, when an eagle snatches up her sandal and carries it to the Pharaoh of Egypt. The Pharaoh searches for the owner of the sandal, finds her and makes her his queen.”

Or, if you want the first version of the entire plot, with a stepdaughter reduced to servitude by her stepmother, a special event that she’s forbidden to attend, fine clothes and shoes given to her by magic so she can attend, and her royal future husband finding her shoe after she loses it while running away, then it’s the Chinese tale of Ye Xian you’re looking for. In that version, she gets her clothes from the bones of a fish that was her only friend until her stepmother caught it and ate it.

But if you want the Cinderella story that Disney’s film was directly based on, then the version you want is the version by the French author Charles Perrault. His Cendrillon is the Cinderella story that became the best known in the Western world. His version features the fairy godmother, the pumpkin turned into a coach, mice into horses, etc, and no blood or grisly punishments for anyone. It was published in 1697. The Brothers Grimm’s Aschenputtel, with the tree on the grave, the foot-cutting, etc. was first published in 1812.

The Grimms’ grisly-edged version might feel older and more primitive while Perrault’s pretty version feels like a sanitized retelling, but such isn’t the case. They’re just two different countries’ variations on the tale, French and German, and Perrault’s is older. Nor is the Disney film sanitized. It’s based on Perrault.

I've tried to learn how to snap my fingers for years and kept failling. But because of a stim that I've started doing in the last few months -tapping one of my fingers at once against my thumb, mostly my index and middle finger- which made me accidentally snap my fingers a couple times. Decided to practice it afterwards and now can snap my fingers without any problems......

So that's the story of how I accidently learned how to snap my fingers because of one of my ADHD stims.

For the first time in my life, the love that I feel is infinitelymore powerful than the fear of losing it. And every moment we’re not married is a wasted moment.

“i’m sorry you’re still upset about the story” the way i scoffed at the non-apology like it’s buck’s fault this is an issue. like it’s buck’s fault he trusted her. “you knew who i was” is it so crazy for your romantic partner to believe that maybe you respected him enough to call before you betrayed the trust he forced onto his family for you or ❤️

In that 100% unnecessry, fully unhinged, over-the-top husbands scene of Buck and Eddie repairing Eddie's bedroom wall? Eddie is sponging the plaster, the repair work nearly complete. And Buck is just getting started, putting a patch over a gaping hole in the drywall, which the first step in the repair process.

Eddie is further along in his healing, thanks to Buck helping Eddie carry the weight for a while, helping Eddie feel feel safe enough to heal. And now, Eddie can return that love right back to Buck.

I'm gonna be thinking about the1 symbolism of Buck and Eddie's bedroom wall for a long time...

I never like to make judgments about season finales immediately after they're finished because the weeks leading up to them are full of speculation, excitement, and headcanons that never fully come true (LOL) so I'm going to reserve my opinions until I've watched it a couple more times, BUT I love, love, love when stories are tied up perfectly. Eddie's storyline, Athena's storyline, May's storyline, Buck and Taylor breakup, Bobby almost relapsing but then not, Hen and Karen renewing their vows, Maddie back at dispatch..... Literally every story they began this season was wrapped up succinctly and sweetly and it soothes the itch in my brain that likes things to end just as wonderfully as they begin.

The proposal was amazing in so many ways, but I also need to focus on Carlos’s panic when TK wakes him up in the middle of the night. Specifically the fact that the first thing he asks after “do you smell smoke” is “is the lizard back?”

This man is so traumatized by a small alligator lizard named Lou that he worries about his return right up there with their home being on fire again. Which is hilarious, yes, but when you think about the fact that he was willing to keep Lou in their home because he made TK happy…they truly do love each other so much.
