There needs to be more irish (language) representation in media - even just a fáilte sign or something.

Irish was outlawed in ireland by colonists until it gained independence, and people taught their kids english because it was necessary for work or immigration. So Irish has taken a beating - but it's making a comeback!

Either way, if there was irish in song lyrics or short moments that don't need to be translated to understand what's being conveyed, that would be amazing and wonderful and awesome and brilliant and epic.

To any creators who do - go raibh maith agat :)

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.

i’m going to go lie flat on some train tracks

Ford has gotten too used to talking to himself and not at all used to other people being around to hear it

Bonus:

On a scale of Paul Matthews to Ella Ashmore, how excited are you to be resurrected by an eldritch being in order to fulfill your greatest desire in life?
