#evil stepsisters

[nathsketch]

Remember when you asked me if I was ever going to create a piece for our beloved Villains?

Well, how about a whole series of books?  😉

I’m so happy to finally be able to share with you what I’ve been working on for the past few months!

Here’s the official description of the project:

“Blood is blood…and one way or another, we all bleed."

Drizella and Anastasia only know one thing for certain: they will never end up like their mother, Lady Tremaine. When their father left them as young girls, he took what was left of their family's fortune and their mother's dignity with him. A few years and one deceased stepfather later, the only version of Lady Tremaine that Drizella and Anastasia know is a bitter and cruel head of the house. Anastasia and Drizella have promised themselves - and each other - that they'll be different. They'll find love, see the world, and never let their hearts go cold.

But both sisters are all too aware of what it can mean when cast into disfavor with their mother, and fueled by Lady Tremaine's tendencies to pit the daughters against one another, Drizella and Anastasia are locked into a complicated waltz of tenuous sisterhood. On the cusp of the royal debut party - their one chance to impress the Prince and live up to their mother's expectations - the sisters at last get a glimpse of what life could be like outside of Lady Tremaine's intentions: Drizella discovering a love of science and Anastasia sparking a secret romance. But never underestimate the power of a mother whose greatest talents lie in manipulation, and the sisters may learn that even the cruelest of hearts can spill blood.

This first book in the new Disney Villains Dark Ascension series by National Book Award-winning author Robin Benway explores the complex sibling rivalry between the two wicked stepsisters from Cinderella that turned them into the characters we know today.

Full press release here! I hope you’ll enjoy this new series! 💜

Happy Tuesday! ⚜️📚

My Stepmother and Stepsisters Do Not Pick On Me

~

Cinder: I am an orphan and after my mother’s death, I was sent to a decrepit orphanage in the middle of nowhere Anima before I was adopted.

Cinder: My stepmother and her daughters probably hate me, but I’ll take any deal…

~

Straight-Haired Sister: Eeh? You stink too much. And your face is all dirty, too. You’re irritating me with your appearance. Don’t you feel pitiful living like garbage?

Curly-Haired Sister: *chuckled*

Straight-Haired Sister: Come here. *grabs Cinder by the arm*

Cinder: *gets pulled along* Kya!

BATHROOM

Straight-Haired Sister: *washing Cinder’s hair* Your hair is so unkempt. Seriously…I don’t know what that orphanage was thinking, having you live like this.

Curly-Haired Sister: *washing Cinder’s arm* Can you believe it? People think it’s what’s on the inside that’s important. But physical appearance are just as important as what’s on the inside.

Cinder: Eh?

VANITY

Straight-Haired Sister: She’s already pretty as is, let’s just use a ribbon and fix her hair.

Curly-Haired Sister: I don’t want her to have your ugly face. She still has the face of a little girl. She has to make a more adorable impression.

Cinder: Eeeeh? What…?

CLOSET

Straight-Haired Sister: A blouse and a pair of pants would look better on her!

Curly-Haired Sister: No, a big dress would be better!

Cinder: Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhh??????????????????

Madame: Girls.

Both Sisters: Mother!

Madame: Stop talking nonsense, just do it.

Straight-Haired Sister: Nothing’s wrong, Mom. Don’t get mad!

Curly-Haired Sister: We weren’t fighting…

Cinder: They both seem very upset…My stepmother really is a scary person…

Madame: Regarding the place where you will sleep. I think there’s some space in the storage room.

Cinder: …The storage room?! Well, I should thank them for not leaving me out in the rain and cold ether way…

Madame: We will carry the furniture from study to the storage room, and we will turn the study into your room!

Cinder: EH~?????????????????

DINING ROOM

Curly-Haired Sister: Let’s go look at flowers after lunch.

Straight-Haired Sister: Let’s go shopping instead. I saw something that would look great on you.

Cinder: *slightly confused* Eh…What…

Madame: Don’t talk at the table.

Cinder: Mom, my new family…it’s very warm.

i’ve always felt like i was read from a storybook so, what is normal to someone who has never known normal -  boring and useless and something so strange -

leave me up here with my books and my mirror let me have paper and i’ll build you a world built of my own illusions that  heroes can be bad and villains have worth

so, is this my villain song? the place where my path twists and it all goes wrong?

is this my villain song? the place where the train falls off its rails and my careful plan fails?

is this my villain song? thrones abandoned, and truths are revealed, and wounds are dealt that can never be healed?

i’ve always felt like i was from some other time and space …

so, is this the part where i find out the throne was never mine? there are 12 older brothers waiting in line?

is this the part where i find out poor unfortunate souls find themselves voiceless in the end anyway?

is this the part where i find out the oldest gets banished to the blue fires of Hell

to collect the souls of the dead?

is this the part where i find out you found me, lying in the snow cold and alone?

yes, is this the part where i find out you lied, and maybe i should have been left to die?

so, is this my villain song? the place where illusions drop and i just beg for it all to stop?

is this my villain song? where i snap, and i crack, and i learn that i am content watch it all burn?

yes … is this my villain song? the place where my path twists and it all goes wrong?

but, what else can i do? when i so see myself in you ... if this is my villain song, let it be known i gave it my all.  i never asked to be let in the ball ...  all i ever wanted was to be found - worthy? ... glorious? ... loved? ... so, since this is my villain song let the winds blow, the lighting flare, and the bitter snow fall  i am nothing if not aware of the thrall of the power of my villain song. 

“is this my villain song” - P.S. Shuller 

Try to find the “Disney” / Disney-adjacent villain easter eggs, but all the villains referenced are in the tags in order of appearance. 

(Disney please hire me as lyricist? Maybe help me compose this? I haven’t written music in a long time, but I’m sorely tempted with this one)

DCLA non-canon couples Disneybounding

I WILL NEVER STOP! I will reign terror with my Disney bounds in the DCLA community as long as I will still have imagination left! Because this is really fun and creative work. Plus I love fashion and I have no reason to Disney bound myself as I am a Finn in Finland and will probably never get to go to Disney parks in the USA. So, I make fictional characters bound for me.

But enjoy this! I am not the most known person when it comes to the non-canon ships, since I stick to canon more often than not, but I have much of friends who have educated me on the topic and I would say that I am a non-canon ship enjoyed to a certain extent.

Thanks for @weirdthoughtsandideas and @putonmyfavoriteshow for some of the suggestions.

Faerie Tale Theatre Reviews: Cinderella

“So you’re telling me you had a good time?” “And I owe it all to you.” “Rubbish! You did it all yourself. The cake was already made, all I did was add the frosting.”– The Fairy Godmother lays down the truth about our long-lasting fascination with the original rags-to-riches story Did I say Snow White held the record for the fairytale with the most variations? Silly me, how could I forget…

Instead of drawing what I talked about with someone else I went and did a warmup with a logo for Anthony Tremaine.

I'm thinking of fixing the back of Anastasia's silhouette and adding Drizella later just to make it a base Tremaine logo but for now I like this.

The individuals and logoless ones will be below the readmore.

Cinderella Ch. 3

The carriage soon arrived, ready to whisk her away. Before she got in, her stepfamily made a whole show of crying and hugging her and telling how much they’d miss her and how they always thought of her as family, though she was just their serving girl. But, as the eldest, ugliest step-sister hugged her, she hissed. “I’m glad you’re leaving. Good riddance.”

She hastily climbed into the carriage, eyes widening as she looked around. The carriage, though a bit small, had such intricate carvings of deer, birds, and flowers, she wondered if it was even made by hand. “The royal family must be very rich indeed!” She commented to the coachman.

He nodded, brown hair bobbing up and down. “What you say is true,” He agreed. “I have heard that there are over a hundred, perhaps more than a thousand!” 

“Why, that’s just awesome!” Said the awe-struck girl. 

Their talk soon drifted off to other topics and occasionally the young man would turn his head to glance over at her and smile, his golden circlet glittering proudly in the suns rays. Soon, they arrived at their destination. The man, winking, tipped his head towards her as if she were some noble woman and not a dirty, filthy serving girl. She smiled towards him once, then slipped out of the carriage and walked away. 

All the new servants stood at the front of the palace, its grand columns towering over their heads. A servant, the main one, she (correctly) assumed, considering the lady’s clothes were finer than the other servants, who were standing next to the loud woman. “Alright, listen up, all of you new folk!” The main servant shouted. “Prince Alberick will be here soon to tell you all what to do. He’s left, but he’ll be back soon, I’m sure.”

So they had to stand around, waiting for the Prince. Ella wasn’t very sure if he would even come, and, judging from the look on the staff manager, she could tell she wasn’t sure either. Thankfully, however, the prince did arrive, though Ella could not see him well. And now, his speech begun.

“As you all know,” He began, “Your masters or family have sent you here to work for the palace for a few weeks. Do not worry- you will all return home once you have completed all of your jobs. I expect all of you to give your absolute effort into preparing this ball, and the balls after it. We start tomorrow. You’ll all stay at the palace tonight.”

My Stepmother and Stepsisters Do Not Pick On Me II

~

Cinder: I am an orphan and when my mother died, I was adopted by an Atlesian family.

Cinder: A child from a foreign kingdom must be a nuisance for them…

~

Cinder: I have to keep living here, no matter what!

Cinder: My ladies, do you need me to do anything for you?

Straight-Haired Sister: My lady?

Curly-Haired Sister: Do you know who you’re talking to?

Cinder: *prostrates herself* F-Forgive me, how should I address you?

Straight-Haired Sister: “Sister,” don’t you think? You’re my sister, aren’t you?

Curly-Haired Sister: Yeah, that was really stupid. Don’t you know we’re your sisters?

Cinder: Huh?

Curly-Haired Sister: My name is Amanda but please call me Ama.

Straight-Haired Sister: I was first! I’m Lenalee but call me Lee.

Cinder: W-Wait…Whaaat?

Cinder: Ama… Lee…

Ama: Yes?

Lee: What’s the matter?

Cinder: I wonder if this is alright…If I can call them…family.

ELSEWHERE

Cinder: Emm…Mother.

Madame: For you, theres no reason to call me that.

Cinder: *prostrates herself* I’m sorry, I thought I was doing things right.

Madame: Your mother is irreplaceable. No one will ever be able to take the place of the mother who raised you, you don’t have to force yourself to say it. But if you still want to call me that, then you can do it! Call me Mommy!

Cinder: Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehh?????

Cinder: …Mommy?

Madame: Yes?

Cinder: Mom, my new family…they’re very kind.

[bestworstcase]

hello! In your Yang-is-the-Salem-in-Bees post you mention yang and cinder paralleling each other. Could you talk more about that? 👀

the obvious place to start is the semblances. bc it isn’t just “fire powers,” it’s:

burn: every time she gets hit, it makes her stronger; yang takes the damage, feels the pain, and then hurls it back in bursts of fiery power. the harder she’s pushed, the more ferociously she can push back.

scorching caress: to superheat a liquid, you heat it to a temperature under conditions which prevent it from boiling. specifically, undisturbed water in a very clean container with no nucleation sites. this is an effect of surface tension, which suppresses the formation of bubbles. superheated liquid is in a metastable state and will instantly boil—often explosively—as soon as it’s jostled or otherwise disturbed. in other words, superheating is about heat under pressure. scorching caress isn’t truly superheating in the strict sense, but it IS a metaphorical representation of the concept; heat under intense pressure, pushed beyond the brink of what can be endured, the deceptive calm and the violent explosion that follows. that’s cinder through and through, and that’s scorching caress.

see how they rhyme? one burns, the other boils. fire versus heat. combustion versus surface tension. both of them, in contrasting ways, are empowered by pressure and pain.

this similarity and contrast is also carried through into their relationships with anger:

yang has a fierce temper that she keeps in almost perfect balance; she’s in tune with it and confident in her mastery over it, comfortable letting it out when she needs it and quick to rein it in when it’s not helpful. on the rare occasion she snaps without meaning to, she checks herself instantly. the perception of others that burn is connected to her anger at all is an illusion created by the correlation between moments when yang uses her semblance and when she uses her anger—to protect herself or to protect others she loves.

cinder is angry literally all the time. her anger is sharp and venomous and hungry and she holds it pressed down into a tight little ball underneath the masks she wears because she doesn’t know how to exist without it. like superheated water, her moments of calm or confidence are always one fleeting disturbance away from erupting into unchecked fury. even her fear has an edge that can twist into anger if she’s pushed far enough.

it’s the difference between a controlled bonfire and a subterranean peat fire. one is safe; the other may smolder for years and explode into wildfire if it’s exposed to air. both yang and cinder are, arguably, defined by their anger—there is nothing else that so wholly expresses who yang is than how self-possessed and controlled she is when she chooses to get angry, and likewise that tightly-compressed core of unspeakable rage is the essence of cinder’s character.

both of these characters lose an arm the night beacon falls; yang because she’s furiously leaping to blake’s defense, cinder because she murders a child to soothe her temper.

their recovery arcs in v4 are paralleled, as are their relationships with their parental figures; tai and salem are emotionally disconnected from yang and cinder in contrasting ways, with tai well-meaning but unfamiliar with who yang is and salem in tension between needing cinder to be her tool/weapon but wanting her to be free and safe, as well as not being able to see through cinder’s masks.

(sometimes the tai+yang vs salem+cinder mirroring gets very direct, like

they can’t keep getting away with it!)

the general thrust of tai’s advice to yang is about holding back: he thinks she’s “predictable” and “a little boneheaded” and reads into her use of her semblance in the vytal tournament an over-reliance on brute strength. he tells yang to find ways around obstacles, instead of through.

salem, in contrast, snaps at cinder to stop holding back. the slow pace of this training, cinder’s struggle to achieve mastery over the grimm arm and timidity with her new magic, frustrates her—because she doesn’t understand where it’s coming from—and she becomes impatient. and then, in v8, she implicitly recants that impatience (“here i am holding you back.”)

[whether tai will have a similar moment of reconsidering yang remains to be seen. but on the strength of the paralleling, i bet he will.]

there is something about yang painting her arm yellow and the growth of the grimm arm to cinder’s shoulder as she begins to handle it like her arm rather than a weapon itches in the back of my mind constantly.

there is also a certain rhyming between yang’s feelings of rootlessness and cinder’s intense fear of destiny and desperation to fight what she believes is her fate to be enslaved and hunted; the unease with having no clear purpose vs the pain and terror of being used.

#and through summer ruby and yang are cinder’s evil stepsisters of course #the one who maimed her (she’s forbidden to retaliate) and the one who would die to protect the other #which isn’t a parallel per se but it’s fun

[dyingnerdyprude]

that stream gave us SO MUCH to be excited for, its truly insane how hyped i am for this show. i think this show has the potential to be one of their best, im seriously so pumped.

#like the stepfamily being trolls that skin women and wear their skins with troll magic??? #the prince being a blubbering idiot and his right hand man basically keeping him in check #mariah and lauren as evil stepsisters. im SAT #the demo music in the background #all the joey tree jokes #THE MYSTERIOUS THING JON IS PLANNING??????? WHAT ARE YOU UP TO SIR #IM SO FUCKING EXCITED #starkid #team starkid #cinderellas castle #the potential of this being a new EXTENDED UNIVERSE??
