Talking to people who aren’t REALLY into classics sucks sometimes bc it’s understandable enough yk, acquired taste and all that, but also it’s like I SWEAR I’m not being pretentious by saying my favourite novels are Frankenstein/Dracula/Les Misérables THEY GENUINELY ARE 😭 IM GENUINELY ATTACHED TO THE CHARACTERS AND GENUINELY HAVE REREAD THEM MULTIPLE TIMES (except for Les Mis. I am… still not finished my first read it’s a long-ass book ok man leave me be) AND IM GENUINELY EXTREMELY ARTISTICALLY INSPIRED BY THEM ALL IM SORRY I am but a simple history nerd who genuinely likes reading about old men with psychological problems and almost-human-cryptids that are metaphors 🙏🙏
Rancilda and Putrice are autistic because their Mother is able to act human pretty easily, meanwhile they still act pretty much the same way they do as trolls. 'Hi my name is Putrice, it means 'vomit inducing' 'And I'm...not supposed to say anything.' These girls have little to no masking game.
Spoiler warning for Cinderella's Castle under the cut.
While I will say (even this early in her time with the company) that this show was Bryce's finest hour, we need to draw attention to Ella's death scene.
Every time I watch it, I have such a visceral reaction, but I still pay attention to it because of her acting in this scene.
How Ella cries out to her parents as Putrice and Rancilda restrain her. It brings to mind soldiers fatally wounded in combat, calling out for a loved one that they wish to see one last time.
Her attempt to pray to the Nine Good Gods; even after the Fairy Queen disproved her faith, it's still the only faith that she knows. It was probably one of the only things that she had left after her father's death.
She truly sounds like she's in pain when the Stepmother makes the first cut to her leg, only reduced to sobs because she's in too much agony to speak.
But she still has enough defiance left in her to curse the trolls.
Even if the way the sequence is written and acted out makes it seem as if Ella dies pretty soon after her leg is severed, I can easily imagine her drifting in and out of consciousness as she continues to bleed out onto the table.
Maybe she's ready to give up.
Maybe she's afraid that, if there are no Nine Good Gods, there's no greener field beyond. And that means that she'll never see her parents, or Justine and Lucy again.
So death isn't even a comfort anymore.

ok no one told me this, so just so everyone else knows:
Cinderella’s Castle has hella puppets. it has incredible puppets. holy fuck does this show have puppets.
i love puppets so much and these puppets are so good. like, these are some phenomenal puppets i dont know how to cope. I’m going to be drawing these characters until i die, this is it for me.
god I hate people who say they don't watch musicals because people "just don't burst out into song and highly choreographed dance numbers at will-"
how fucking stupid are you
people don't run around like john wick getting shot and still standing up either or meet cute rich millionaires at coffee shops who wanna marry poor women from the bronx or have super powers and shit but somehow you can comprehend that just fine in other fictional media.
what is so fucking hard to comprehend about a story and emotions being conveyed through fucking song
have you never felt a human emotion in your entire life, can you not comprehend joyful noises or somber sounds, can you not understand a soliloquy or the troubled internal dialogue of a person in pain
do you not like music???
is there a single person on this earth who has never found one sound that they enjoy, played in repetition??
either stop lying to protect your pathetic pride or grow an extra brain cell or two and actually think about what you are saying.
"people don't sing or dance in real life-"
yes they do, when they're not a miserable cuck like you, it's just not always to a discernible beat.
you have lived your entire life with your heart and mind and soul closed to others.
you should kill your-

Remember, being kind is punk rock. Being overly polite due to anxiety is prog rock. A hug is alt rock unless it goes on too long then it's folk rock. Empathy is third wave ska. Being mean, though, is not punk rock. Bc being mean is pop punk
