hey hi hello

@drunkenssoldier / drunkenssoldier.tumblr.com

it's me jess! generally sfw. not super active, but here for eternity

currently rewatching the OG Cinderella on a whim and it slaps

  • i forgot how much of this movie is the mice
  • Cinderella is not a doormat, she's actually very determined and resilient and fights in the ways she can
  • she tells the dog to try and find some way to get along with the cat so he doesn't lose his house and it's kind of sad to think about the survival lesson Cinderella's sharing from experience - on the one hand, she seems like she wants to try and humanize her stepmother and sisters, but when they abuse her, it's not like she's just sticking around for fun. it's her home.
  • the prince's dad is whining about him being too romantic and how he just wants grandkids, dammit, meanwhile the assistant is into the romance
  • also she gets all excited about her dress and asks them if they like it and it'll be enough for the ball even though they're routinely not nice and annoying to her
  • and she's really grateful all the time even for the little things

more thoughts:

  • this prince literally gets into this ball, spots cinderella, and is done. his dad has been whining about how picky the guy is but WE DO NOT SETTLE KING WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS
  • "hey babe, why yes i am the prince (edit: somehow she did not notice he was the prince, just a hot babe), wanna dance literally all over the castle grounds and sing a duet?" "sure bb"
  • "btw what's your name?" "Cinderella" "...is that a slur?"
  • SHE ALMOST KISSES HIM! before she's gotta go. Cinderella goes after what she wants when she has the means!!!!!!
  • and they send palace guards or whoever after her when she runs like yeah guys that'll make her wanna stop
  • the mice and dog did a great job driving, 10/10

part 3, hi

  • the king's bed is bigger than my bedroom
  • the king literally does not care who his son marries, he just wants grandkids bad. and not even heirs, man just misses having kids around
  • when he finds out she got away he cuts his own chair in half with a sword
  • "THE WHOLE THING WAS A PLANT!" "BUT SIRE HE LOVES HER HE WANTS TO MARRY ONLY HER" "....oh? :3"
  • lmao the dialogue "but sire this slipper could fit any number of girls" "that's his problem"
  • you never really think about how long it must have taken to do the shoe try on over a whole kingdom
  • if this movie was rated PG-13 you just know Cinderella would have been cursing under her breath every time one of these step-people told her to do something
  • idk why this stepmother puts up with her daughters before the ball. what's her motivation? bullying Cinderella as a distraction from the bills? (Ever After did it better)
  • its pretty moving and cruel that Cinderella doesn't usually react much to their abuse of her but now that she has a dream and wants something she's desperate and pleading to not be locked in her room.
  • Drizella used her 1 brain cell to fake recognizing her slipper, girlboss

part 4 of #CinderellaWatch

  • the duke is reading out a big contract or waiver or whatever while the mice steal the key to unlock Cinderella's room and it includes all this lingo about having to beg the girl to marry him, lol
  • like who wrote this long document, he left immediately after they found it
  • didn't this duke see Cinderella dancing with the prince??? wouldn't he know who to look for?
  • this cat is really evil to Cinderella for NO reason. she feeds him and tries to be sweet to him and find redeemable qualities to him even though he chases the mice. they should have made him an anti hero. where is the redemption arc
  • "ma'am it is illegal for this woman to not try this shoe on, do you want to be arrested"
  • i forgot they broke the shoe!!! but the DRAMA of Cinderella showing the other shoe!!! YES GIRL
  • instantly cut to the wedding of the man she met max 2 days ago, the King is also blushing the second he sees her
  • cartoon men know quality when they see it
  • the end

last thing: do you think her real name is just Cindy

Obviously Velma sucks but if we do ever make a more adult Scooby Doo I want a semi realistic period piece from the late 60s where the Scooby Gang are draft dodgers and hippies that just happen to stumble into the crime fighting business because there is just a fresh stream of con artists when you’re drifting town to town in a van.

Freddie and Daphne start it all. Instead of showing up at boot camp when drafted, Fred Jones got the van he bought with his summer job and ran off. Daphne, his girlfriend (who frankly has the least strong feelings about Vietnam but for gods sake are they not taking Freddie there) runs along to be supportive and to get away from her strict, stuffy family.

Velma catches wind of Fred and Daphne’s plan a few days before it happens. They invite her along but she has to consider it. A staunch feminist and the brightest girl in school, she has the most to lose if she leaves. However, she grows embittered by the fact she’s never gonna get into her dream college since it doesn’t admit women, and decides to go along. Besides, if Fred and Daphne leave without her, there won’t be anyone like minded in their hometown for Velma to be friends with.

Shaggy wasn’t originally part of the group, but they find him and Scooby hitchhiking and pick him up. The gang learn he has similar circumstances to Fred for running away from home, being a conscientious objector who ran off when they tried to put him in a non combative position instead. He opposed even this as it still meant he would be part of the war machine. He comes bearing plenty of 8 track tapes and some real good pot, so he’s welcomed along happily.

Along the way they become friends and use their combined skills to solve cases of supposed hauntings. Every single one is shown to be some kind of capitalist fraud.

zukka au where aunt wu looks straight at sokka and instead of telling him that his future is full of pain and anguish caused by his own hand, she tells him that he’s going to marry the fire lord and sokka is like “EXCUSE ME?”

sokka, whispering to himself: omg my ability to making royalty fall in love with me has come too far

sokka, immediately writing a letter: dear firelord ozai, I am flattered, but since you are pretty old and super evil, I-

Avatar

Sokka, while yelling insults at s1 Zuko: And tell your dad I'm not interested in having a jerk like you as a step-son!!

Avatar

I need a whole plotline of Sokka wondering who this fire lord person is going to be

Season 2

Aang: I wish that Iroh guy was the Fire Lord, he seems pretty nice

Sokka: Yeah the Fire Nation would probably be better off with him as Fire Lord, but he’s so old and more of an uncle figure, you know? Not really my type.

Aang: What

Early season 3

Sokka, waking up in cold sweat: Oh no. What if... Azula is the future Fire Lord

Late season 3

Katara: Sokka what should we do? The invasion failed, we’ve been hiding in this temple for weeks and Sozin’s comet is almost here

Sokka, mumbling to himself: I hope Zuko becomes Fire Lord he’s pretty cool

Katara: what?

Sokka: I said we need to defeat the Fire Lord soon

Sokka internally having a Firelord tier list during the series is something that I never knew I wanted.

*when zuko and katara arrive right before azula's coronation during sozin's comet*

Zuko: Sorry. But you're not going to be the one marrying Sokka.

Azula: What.

Sokka, trying to convince Aang to learn firebending: Aang, you need to learn firebending and defeat the Firelord so I can marry someone who isn’t terrible 

Wait No Sokka already thinks Wu's prophecys are wack so after being fully disgusted by the thought of marrying loserlord ozai he doesn't think too much of it and moves on with his life

Then a few years later Zuko's the firelord and they're dating but right when Zuko proposes Sokka Remembers and has an existential crisis then and there

Zuko: Sokka, will you marry me?

Sokka, remembering Wu's prophecy: motherfucker

Zuko, very confused but still hopeful: is that a yes?

after clearing up stuff up he said yes of course

Avatar

zuko: so, should we pick our wedding date?

sokka: I don't know, what about a day after aunt wu dies so she will never know how right about everything she was but anyway, any day you choose is ok for me

also, VERY annoying that bell #7 on tumblr's dash is JUST off enough that you can't play "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" perfectly
