Carson: *Looking at Greta* Wow she’s so pretty!

Max: Don’t feel that way, Carson. You’re pretty too.

Carson: I’m not jealous, Max. I’m Gay.

Random details I noticed rewatching 'A League of their Own': Pointless, funny and an annoying error.

Two things, The pen ink on Carson's finger, and Charlie's address. Means nothing except Carson can't work a flexible nib fountain pen.

Who tf is tall enough to do that spinny thing to D'Arcy Carden? Girl is like 15 feet tall.

Carson and Max are wearing VERY complementary outfits (Red/blue) in this. I don't know if it means anything apart from the fact that in a better world, Max would be playing AAGPBL and even could have been a Peach... but she isn't. Or it's setting them up as two equal and comparable characters. I dunno. But it's a cool parallel.

I like that Carson's mask ages from episode 1 (left) to episode 8 (right). I mean they played 108 games and the thing is faded, seams splitting, paint coming off, rusty. Good attention to detail.

You can't see it (cos of trash quality, very sorry) but there is a red lipstick kiss on Jo's cheek.

Contrary to common belief, Greta doesn't kiss her own card. It a Racine Belles player.

Jess's face. That's it.

Sorry this is a long one and deserves it's own post. I think this may be a continuity/costuming error, but when Carson sent her letter to Charlie in 1x01 (see above) she addressed it to PTE Charlie Shaw. PTE stands for Private, the lowest US Army rank and pretty standard for infantry. Home boy above (this is from 1x02) is wearing Staff Sergeant 1st Class insignia. Which given how long he was gone for, is IMHO, unlikely. Even though this is a dream sequence, he's wearing it in 1x07 and 08 too. So I'm assuming Carson's letter is the error. The show did at least keep it consistent for his other uniform in 1x03 (we're not even gonna discuss the Third Army patch he had on that uniform, that's definitely a post) [ALOTO TEAM PLEASE HIRE ME].

Mental notes: - Carson has had to cover for herself and Greta 'I-have-rules' Gill THREE times. Once with Max, once with Shirley and (I assume we'll see in season 2) once with Charlie. Greta never had to talk her way out of being busted. - The ongoing joke about Carson being from a farm is reference to Dottie and Kit in the film, who actually were from a farm.

I have so many more of these but I have uni work to do and its very early in the morning.

What struck me so hard while watching a League of Their Own was the realisation that queer love and queer hope and queeness will never EVER die.

Chanté Adams as Max Chapman in A League of Their Own (2022), the new Amazon Prime series remake of the 1992 movie.

Cameron Chapman in like 10ish years could play an incredible Mr. Darcy if given the opportunity.

#someone please make this happen #not that i needed another excuse to crush on him but i honestly think he would be absolutely phenomenal #lockwood and co #cameron chapman

[waitingforthesunrise]

But like… imagine Cameron Chapman as Mr Darcy though…

My exact reaction

[starberry-cupcake]

I’ve said this before but it’s fascinating to me how, in my opinion, a big reason why Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (1991) works so well as an updated adaptation is because it swapped the core narrative parallel from Cupid & Psyche (like Villeneuve and Beaumont had) for Pride and Prejudice. 

The wildest part is that I’ve never seen, in any of the books, dvds, interviews, notes or memorabilia I’ve ever collected, anyone from the production mention P&P as a direct reference, not Linda Woolverton, not Brenda Chapman, not Trousdale or Wise, and idk if I haven’t been looking hard enough, if it’s just me thinking this, if they're not aware they did it or if it was all Howard and he passed away before being able to give an interview about it. 

What I mean is, narratively-wise, B&B ditches the narrative structure of Cupid & Psyche that most fairy tales under the category of “animal bridegroom” tend to use and, instead, follows the P&P structure to a T, while filling in the gaps with its own characterization or elements from its predecessors (like Gaston coming from the Cocteau film, which is mentioned as a big inspiration many times).

P&P works with points of inflection for character development, because it’s a character driven novel in which the leads are changed and developed through their interactions, whether directly or indirectly, with each other. 

A Big point of inflection for Elizabeth and Darcy is the moment things reach it’s lowest point of decline: Darcy’s first proposal. In B&B this is mirrored through the West Wing scene. I could draw parallels of both and go into massive detail, but I don’t wanna make this post longer than it is already. 

The second point is the olive branch that starts mending the path and serves as a more honest communication: in P&P it’s Darcy’s letter and in B&B it’s the mutual rescue from the wolves. 

The third is the start of the mending process, which in P&P becomes clear in the Pemberley visit and in B&B happens through song, mostly in Something There and Beauty and the Beast. Again, could talk in length about this, but I’ll refrain.

The fourth is the separation, which in P&P happens through Lydia running away with Whickham and in B&B is because Maurice is lost in the woods. In P&P, Darcy finds Lydia and Whickham and pays in secret to save the Bennet’s name for Elizabeth’s sake and in B&B the Beast tells Belle to leave the castle, not letting her know that her leaving would condemn him to remain as a Beast forever. 

This is a very important point of comparison to me because this moment, the moment in which Beauty leaves the castle, is the key point in common from both fairy tales to Cupid & Psyche. 

Like in other fairy tales inspired by it (d’Aulnoy’s Green Serpent, for example), the leading lady breaks her promise and has to rescue the man she condemns and loves. The Beast asks her to come back, she doesn’t (for similar yet distinctly different reasons in either version) and finds him on his death bed upon finally returning, so she saves him. 

In 1991′s B&B though, there is no promise to break, there are no conditions for Belle, she’s free to go and the Beast does not expect her to come back at all. This removes any blame from Belle, which she had in the other versions, while still giving her the agency to save the Beast at the end, something that she does, in this version, without knowing that she could. 

The saving isn’t an attempt to mend a wrong she did but something that happens unknowingly, she was never aware of the conditions of the curse or her power in all of it, nor did the Beast expect her to love him back. Both Belle and the Beast think he’s dying. He’s happy to see her one last time, she’s sad to lose him. And then, she saves him. 

This “no conditions” moment erases the promise and relates the Beast more to Darcy’s secret actions, not meant to win Elizabeth over but because he cares for her truly; and Belle’s feelings are her own, not influenced by any sense of guilt or responsibility, much like Elizabeth’s. 

The fifth is the ultimate conflict, which is meant to separate but has the opposite effect and brings them together. In P&P, it’s Catherine De Bourg's visit to threaten Elizabeth and in B&B is Gaston’s raid to the castle to kill the Beast. 

The sixth and final is the declaration of true feelings or, more precisely, the leading lady’s moment to accept hers, given that Darcy claims his feelings have not changed and the Beast has already declared his love to the audience’s eyes. 

So, what I find most fascinating (aside from the fact that I love both stories) is how in the 1700s, there was a premise to follow in a myth and in the 1990s the premise to follow became (unknowingly? knowingly? coincidentally?) an 1800s novel, which became as much of a narrative footprint as myths of old. We keep telling stories that carry something of other stories we were nurtured by and I think that’s a really cool aspect of storytelling.

chapman attempting to propose to georgie by reading mr darcy's fail proposal off his kindle.... this is piffling vale's mr perfect

#also i forgot he literally attempted to propose to a woman who repeatedly told him she wasnt interested 😭 #wooden overcoats #he doesnt even do the good proposal!!!

[petrosapian]

Something about the ending we get for Antigone and Chapman reminds me of my favorite little fun fact about 2005's Pride and Prejudice. They added a scene to the American version, where Darcy and Lizzie are sitting by the water kissing and talking about pet names. They did not have nor need it in the British version. Longing stares, hand flexes and a sincere proposal was enough. But despite my parents best efforts I am very American. I need obvious kissy kissy scenes to know this is authorial intent and not me reading into things. Also I am autistic.
