WAIT WAIT WAIT

YOU'RE TELLING ME

THE TITLE CARD FROM CINDERELLA (1950) EXPLICITLY SAYS IT'S BASED ON THE PERRAULT VERSION OF THE STORY???

WE COULD HAVE AVOIDED ALL THE SANCTIMONIOUS EDGELORDS SMARMING ABOUT HOW "well Disney toned it down; the One True Grimms' Original akschully has blood and no fairy and feet getting cut up, so there" IF THEY HAD JUST

BOTHERED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE MOVIE AND THEN GOOGLE "PERRAULT CINDERELLA???"

excuse me I need to go scream into a pillow

(I'm not saying Ashenputtel isn't possibly older as a folktale than its 1812 publication date in the Grimms' book, but Perrault's version was published in the 1690s. so...)

#fairytales #folktales #cinderella #disney #charles perrault #the brothers grimm #and if you're obsessed with originality. the earliest recorded version of the story is like a paragraph long and completely bloodless #'there was a lovely courtesan. an eagle carried one of her sandals to Pharaoh. he used it to find her and married her. The End." #(Rhodopis if you want to look it up)

hm hm and if elody DOES know what the princesses are planning, if she DOES believe in their goal,, if she found the body of the cowardly husband she left behind and it destroyed her but he died following after her trying to be better for her,,,, if gerard and elody end up on different sides of a war that gerard is only fighting in because elody inspired him to be brave,,,,,,,, if he goes to battle against his own wife because she taught him to take a stand for what he believes in,,,,,,,,,,, if she grows weary of fighting to keep going after the would-be happy ending just as he is finally learning that that’s exactly when you can’t give up that’s when you have to work the hardest,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,what then what then

#neverafter #dimension 20 #d20 #I SAID GERELODY GIRLIES HOW WE FEELING #i think probably she doesn’t know cinderella and snow’s end goal but come on this little mind journey with me anyway #i WANT them to find their way back to each other but if i can’t have that i want them to ruin my life as a tragedy <3 #well actually i guess i want them to go through the tragedy in order to find each other on the other side but i GUESS WE’LL SEE #gerelody #gerard of greenleigh #princess elody

Strict old boss lady is such a real character type and its one of my favorites. Bonus points if they have a soft spot for something.

Have I mentioned lately that creating AUs is the most fun thing ever? You get to take a story you love and then mash it against another type of story you love and fit all their pieces together like they're a jigsaw puzzle. You get to find all the unexpected points of similarity where the stories fit together really well, and see the places where their differences change and make commentary on the original stories/genres in really interesting ways.

And then once you fit the pieces together, you get to look at the new world you've made and see how these characters in this specific world have different conflicts and explore new themes, and you get to play with another level of puzzles as you figure out what this means for this story.

It's the most fun ever. It's my favorite game.

#random thought of the day #adventures in writing #this goes for both fairy tale retellings and for aus of specific shows/novels #this last week was a week for aus #between the north and south sci fi au coming up again #making up a northanger abbey fantasy au #coming up with a new angle for retelling maid maleen #and having tons of new insight in how to rework a story that's a retelling of cinderella and three different austen novels #plus looking back on the powers and prejudice au #this is just such a great game #the moment when the pieces click into place in a way that makes both elements make sense #there's nothing quite as satisfying #to some extent this applies to plotting original fiction #but it's a different feeling when you're making an au of something #because you don't just get to work with malleable clay #you have specific pre-formed pieces #so you get the challenge of figuring out how to fit them together without damaging either one too much #and when you find the way they fit together it makes you appreciate both stories in a new way #plus it makes you feel clever for making the connection #astounding superb wondrous past time

one of the many interesting things about Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella (1997) (the version starring Whitney Houston and Brandy) is that it incorporated songs from other r&h shows. one of these songs being "the sweetest sounds" - cinderella and prince christopher's duet in the town square. that song originates from the show no strings (1962), and was originally sung by Diahann Carroll.

With her starring role in No Strings, Diahann Carroll became the first Black American actress to win a Tony Award for Leading Actress in a Musical.

Here's Diahann Carroll performing on The Ed Sullivan Show:

and, just because, here's the version from 1997:

#the impact of r&h cinderella '97 was strong enough for concord theatricals to license its a theatrical version of it! #for which i am very glad because it is the best version of r&h cinderella #(it's called cinderella enchanted edition on concord's website) #i linked the clip of just Diahann singing the excerpt because the full song is five minutes and I cannot find a video #but no strings was also notable because it featured an interracial couple! #musical theatre #Youtube

Thinking of tiny Enver, following helplessly along as he's dragged through the streets by a strong, unrelenting grip. It was the middle of the night when the warlock came for him, darkening the Flymm's doorstep. The only time his mother made a fuss when they handed over their son, sparking a light of hope in Enver's heart that they might've changed their mind, was to ask the warlock if he'd counted the amount of gold correctly. After that they were right as rain.

As the trade concluded his mother never looked at him once.

The moment the door to Flymm's Cobblers closed shut behind them with a sense of finality, his fate well and truly sealed, Enver Flymm's mind was running miles a minute. Thoughts of escape had occurred to him, of course, but even if he were to manage to overpower a warlock twice his size and make a run for it, where would he go? His parents just sold him. If he went back they'd kick him right out the door again, screaming and yelling over what he'd done. He turns his options around in his head repeatedly, but he can't think well when his heart is trying to jump its way up his throat.

They're halfway through the Lower City when the grip on his arm suddenly loosens. He could barely hear a thing at first - the city uncharacteristically quiet even for such late hours. Then, there is a sickening squelch followed by a slight thud as the warlock drops dead to the ground. He sees the vague silhouette of someone on top of the body, a smaller creature dripping with blood as it tears through flesh. It's too dark to see a face, but there is something animalistic about its movements. Either it doesn't notice Enver, or it doesn't care.

Whoever or whatever wild thing it was is gone just as fast. By some God's mercy, it passed right by him.

Enver is left alone with the mangled remains of the man who bought him, whose pockets he rifles through for gold and valuables before disappearing from the scene of the crime. Without a home he has to put his mind to work living on the streets, toiling and climbing his way steadily up so as not to ever be so powerless again. It's not a way of life that comes without soiling your hands, but sometimes the messiest deeds are the cleanest, and vice versa. Stabbed backs and broken souls are left behind in the process when you need a stepping stone or two. He will rob as many people of their freedom as necessary to preserve his own because a miracle like that will never happen again. Even so he is admired. Respected. The people of Baldur's Gate support him now in a way they never would have before.

Years pass but it's impossible to forget what granted him this chance to forge connections and climb his way up to become unreachable in the first place. However oblivious it might have been back then that murderous creature freed him, and while there is little to go on in terms of finding it again he'll never forget the debt he owes.

(It grows into an obsession.)

#bg3 #enver gortash #durgetash #softer!enver because he never reached the Hells but still a fucked up enver #I am thinking about it.... #it's like a fucked up version of cinderella #maybe durge dropped something as they left. maybe enver held on to it for all these years as he searched for them :) #didn't mean for this to get long I ended up vomiting words #but boy am I thinking about this alternate way of meeting each other..... #they only met once and never so much as spoke a word to each other but durge already means the world to gort #enver calling durge 'it' at first because he's truly not sure if they're even human or not. but he MUST find them again. #from durge's perspective I'm thinking this was one of their 'lost to the urge' moments and they weren't even aware of enver standing there #a what-if gort never ended up in raphael's hands scenario. would raphael still persist? I think so #but I think gorty could come up with a few ways to stay out of his clutches without parents there to kick him under the bus #if this already exists I want the link sent to me yesterday

How come when everyone is praising Brandy's Cinderella they bring up the colorblind casting and how "It doesn't matter that the king is white and the queen is black and they have an Asian son that's just how it is" but suddenly can't fathom that Cinderella and prince being the parents of Chad?? Seems hypocritical to me.
