ROUND 4A, MATCH 1 OUT OF 2!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
*Includes the original 1950 animated film, the 2002 sequel Cinderella II: Dreams Come True, and the 2007 sequel Cinderella III: A Twist in Time.
Propaganda Under the Cut:
Disney's Cinderella:
she is very iconic, she is super kind and has a beautiful dress
Submitting specifically because Cinderella III: A Twist in Time has lived rent-free in my head ever since I was a small child.
This Cinderella is most young (western) peoples introduction to this very story. Cinderella is so hopeful and by getting one small magical adventure, her whole life changes for the better. She is skilled and inspires such loyalty with her kindness that it’s hard to dislike her for any reason she gives. I’ve always been jealous of her ball hairdo too.
Walt Disney put all he had into this movie. And his favorite animation was the dress transformation scene. There’s a reason she is often front and center on the Princess group promotions.
she is the original. to me. probably the first exposure to cinderella for a solid chunk of people alive & on tumblr today. she is just a perfect encapsulation of everything that cinderella is, even if she's become warped in the public consciousness. also i'm pretty sure she's the reason why the glass slippers are so predominant in more recent retellings bc she is simply so iconic. 100/10 no notes 💜
She's maybe not the OG OG but she was one of the first animated Disney princesses and strangely enough it doesn't stop her from having an amazing personality. She's literally a slave but keeps being a nice person, forgiving and always doing her best. And the sequels absolutely didn't ruin her character. She's a sweet girl who tries to fit in but who's loyal to the person she is and who tries to change things always in a cute and sweet way to show people it's not that hard. She literally forgave Anastasia and tried to help her after all she did to her (the scene where the step-sisters destroy her dress still is terrifying to me)... she's awesome and deserves more recognition honestly...
(Mod's note: the following submitted specifically for Cinderella III: A Twist in Time, but I condensed the animated movies into one entry.) No she is not the same as the original Cinderella of 1950. This girl’s biggest chance was unfairly snatched away from her. When the Prince was brainwashed she was enough to get him to double take. She was so Right that their connection over powered magic. And she had to be rescued from a ship. And was almost crushed within a pumpkin! And finally had to expose another imposter, who turned out to be just another victim of Lady Trameine. This Cinderella fought harder for her love because she knew what True Love was like and she still was able to forgive those who asked for it.
(Mod's note: the following submitted specifically for Cinderella III: A Twist in Time, but I condensed the animated movies into one entry.) Listen yes it's the same Cinderella from 1950 but she has an arc in this one! It's Disney's greatest film!!
Listen I love them both but the animated Cinderella definitly shine in every single movie she has. And she has 3.
Vote for Cinderella because she deserves it and is still underrated in the Disney Princesses Franchise when she survived so much (ab*se... Lady Tremaine still terrifies me and she doesn't even have magical powers except when she steals the magic wand in Cinderella 3) Also one vote for Cinderella is one jump outside the window Henri is ready to do. Yes it's real.
Disney animated the original fairytale but definitely made it more magical and less creepy (like the birds making the step sisters blind? It gave me nightmares for ages). If I think: which one will I want to rediscover multiple times? Disney's Cinderella. Plus Cinderella 3 is a masterpiece.
Mofurun as "Mofurella"
listen. they do an episode where they're all sucked into Cinderella and they make the trans teddy bear Cinderella. Incredible story writing, 10/10, no notes.
Mofurdella is even plot relevant, that episode is how they get the Rainbow Carriage for their group attack anyway MOFURDELLA FIRST CINDERELLA PRECURE EPISODE TO GET ONE MOFURILLION VOTES

Dungeons and daddies has decided to live in my head rent free for the rime being, so let us discuss our hermie unworthy options after the last episode:
1. The most commited chaperel high school student who just wanted to steal the mascot costume, no matter the cost
Supporting evidence:
- known method actor
- child of Scam Likely, enough said
- keeps showing up unexpectedly, like he's keeping an eye on them
- has a chaperel high student id
- We know nothing about him, other then his bio parents are Scam and Joadie and that he is a theatre kid/method actor
Arguments against:
- Normal took off the costume at the dance. Hermy absolutely could have disappeared with it, especially since the teens immediately started to fight someone who got gooped . (Linc did put it on at some point, but there probably still would have been time, right?) (Haven't listened in a minute)
- If Hermie is that commited to stealing the costume, why follow them to our world when Normal no longer had it with him? After everything Hermie has commited to for the bit, you want to tell me he wouldn't know where the mascot kid lived? He could have made up an excuse to take it from the Oak-Swallows-Garcia Household
-Normal mentions seeing him at the school play
-He is initially seen most frequently at teen high. Doesn't he have school? (Admittedly the weakest argument)
*Note: alot of the arguments can be excuses by just saying Anthony hadn't thought of the twist yet
2. Hermie is scamming them so they can access the goof realm
Supporting Evidence:
-the "I do" when Nick says he doesn't know how to get to the goof realm (I think later that episode we had confirmation that to access the goof realm you have to pull a scam or be scammed as well)
- Hermie seems to genuinely like teens. After all, Taylor is his uncle cousin nephew and Normal is his will-they-won't-they partner
- He has helped the teens multiple time
- His method acting and ability to pull costumes out of seemingly nowhere definitely indicates the skills necessary to create a fake school id
-Normal mentions seeing him in the school play
Arguments:
- Has been getting more annoyed about the teens forgetting him (arguably also Anthony's fault. He forgets Hermie too)
*Note: this could also be used as motivation to commit the scam as a way to help the teens (getting them to the goof realm). He could be desperate to help them so they stop forgetting him
- despite my previous explanation for the ID, we know nothing for certain yet
(The next 2 are kind of the same)
A mix of both. Chaperel high student Hermie Unworthy who started out just trying to get the mascot costume, then genuinely became friends with the teens.
3. Either is now trying to help them like in theory 2 or
4.is bitter about them forgetting him all the time
In both cases, any argument or supporting evidence comes from a mix of both theories 1 and 2
Last and definitely least is purely a crack theory:
5. Hermie has actually been Scam Likely the whole time
Supporting evidence:
-None really. Scam just seems the sort
-Nothing about Hermie makes sense
- The pure commitment to the bit can only come from an expert
-Scam has been suspiciously quiet the whole time
Arguments:
- It makes no sense
- It feels narratively unsatisfactory
- Scam Is probably in the goof realm
- Jodie has confirmed he and Scam had a kid who Scam ran off with. Hermie is either real or he is in on the scam
I'm definitely missing things, but either way hopefully we'll find out next episode :)

i wanna know YOUR top 5 d20 seasons now 👀 but also top 5 trek femslash pairongs so i can pay attention to them when i eventually have crawled through the original series
dimension 20:
Fantasy High - cause I'm basic and @counterspelling got me into it that way. "you've gotta watch it beej, it's so funny" and now because of that the two of us watch the shows as they premiere together. but yeah I love these bad kids and cycle through my own faves of them but c'mon the set up is just so fun and such a cool idea and then you hit that second episode and jfc, this is a little fucked up actually and you're hooked! you're just hooked!
Mice & Murder - I need this to have a sequel cause it was just so funny and I'm a sucker for a murder mystery type deal and grant and rekha are pure fucking chaos together and I miss raph, bring this cast back pls
A Court of Fey and Flowers - I honestly wasn't sold on this one at first cause regency stuff isn't my thing but holy shit, this one goes hard and I fucking loved it.
The Seven - for exactly the same reasons as you, I mean how can you not love this one, I will take twenty seasons of their quests now thank you
Unsleeping City - this one also took a bit for me to warm up to it but I find it a comfort one to watch now, I love Lou and Ally's characters and how they bounce off of each other and the way their relationship grew in the second season too. also Zac playing a one brain cell firefighter is just so fucking funny
trek femslash, okay so you know most of these aren't gonna be from TOS right? like TOS doesn't even have enough you can really make a top five really. also this one is not in a specific order at all unlike the other lists because it changes as I change. anyway here it is also in a specific order because I'm a liar.
B'Elanna/Seven - at least once a week I text @trillscienceofficer a thing about B7 because the two of us are so fucked up on it. it's about how they mirror each other....it's about how similar they are and can't and can see that and hate that in each other but admire each other. it's about how Seven is out here awkwardly flirting with B'Elanna like c'mon. I wrote a whole fucking essay about it! an essay!!!! (basically if you wanna know more please read that essay least I turn this into another essay about them)
Tasha/Deanna - I always think of this pairing in the sense of what could have been and what we did have still. Like in season one they were always reaching out to each other when the other was hurt or under the influence and then Tasha dies! she just dies! on a mission that was meant to save Deanna! I'm just supposed to go on with my life after that???? Like god, I can only imagine the episode when Deanna loses her powers and Tasha being there for her in that one or when Tasha's sister comes on the ship and Deanna being there for her in confronting the past and what she had to do to survive. I love them for what we got in s1 but I'm forever haunted but what else could have been there.
Uhura/T'Pring - they had one scene. one. where Uhura is out here like "hey Spock your fiance is beautiful" and damn if she a) wasn't right and b) on her way to steal Spock's fiance. that's all it took for me okay, I'm easy! sure this ship requires a lot of extrapolation and we don't know anything about T'Pring really (SNW don't interact) but I know in my heart I can fix that.
Jadzia/Lenara - the big canon femslash ship of 90s cause they got to kiss on screen and do you have any idea how that rewired my brain, like sure I took way too long to figure out I liked girls too but that episode lived in my head rent free. and it was about how they couldn't be together! there were too many external factors! and they missed their chance! they missed their chance!!!!!!!!!! the scene where they pull away from each other realizing this isn't going to happen.....god.....just end me and bury me with that scene thanks.
Beckett/T'Lyn - this one is new and currently at the top because of the newness to me and the season just ended so it's my head. like I went in the season expecting to really like T'Lyn/Tendi and I did! but I came out liking these two more, there's just something about that episode where they really bonded and understood each other. I really need more of them in the future.

What is your favorite Christina and Manny performance on the show?
Oh man, I have a lot actually! I think they're both really wonderful actors who gave so much to their respective characters, and while I think they had chemistry off the charts with one another, I also think they had chemistry with pretty much every other actor on the show? It was a really charismatic cast in general, and they played off each other so well.
Okay, so I've tried to narrow this down to just a couple a season, but it's been wildly difficult, especially since Christina in particular has so many really great scenes on the show, and I'm sure as soon as I hit post I'll change my mind, haha, but okay, right now:
Rio in the 1.10/2.01 cliffhanger
Christina and Matthew are great in this scene too, but Manny really steals the show. His ability to navigate the complicated, evolving mood of the sequence across two different episodes and a long season hiatus is pretty much perfect, and seeing him flick on honeytrap mode is just !! A wildly great momen, and some really great acting from him.
Rio with the tyre iron in 2.04
The bathroom break is, of course, transcendent, but Manny is honestly at his most charismatic, his most electric, his most physical as a performer in the episode closer with the corvette. It's a scene I think I've watched about 12,000 times and it never loses it's energy. He's really just that good in it.
Beth and Ruby's fight in 2.08
Christina and Retta both are on fire in this scene, but Christina's line delivery of "I would choose you. Every time." lives rent-free in my head. The way her voice breaks, the frantic, urgent pain, it's!! Perfect!!!
Beth and Rio go back to Beth's in 2.09
The layers of vulnerability and intimacy are unparalleled, and Christina and Manny both play the moment with the exact right amount of nerves and tenderness and uncertainty. Magicccc.
Beth in Beth and Rio's reunion in 3.03
In a lot of ways, Manny has the easier job here. He's performing for Beth, and he does a great job, but Christina fractures in such a compelling way. She feels so tautly pulled in the moment, so unable to process what's happening in front of her, and you feel that as much as you feel her start to scramble mentally for her way out, and the beat where she finally finds that escape hatch? It only gets better on re-watch.
Beth and Rio in the park bench fight in 3.06
Christina's actually pretty amazing generally playing griefstruck after Lucy's death, but I love this scene in particular for just the anguish that washes over both of them. Neither of them ever wanted to be here, and yet they can't escape each other, and a conversation that starts about work and becomes about Lucy before becoming about them involves so many shifts in tone that they both just land so well.
Beth strongarms Gayle in 3.11
Look, they like - - never let Beth be funny, and the chance she has to be a total dick to Gayle after robbing her blind is cinema magic to me. Christina just kills it.
Beth talks to Dean in prison in 4.03
This could be one of my favourite scenes acting-wise on the show fullstop. I think Christina and Matthew are both tremendously nuanced in it, but Christina in particular opens Beth up to guilt and grief and fear in a way her typically closed-off character doesn't get to be. It's really affecting, and the glassy eyes get me every time.
Rio's look of betrayal in 4.08
Naked betrayal!! The way Manny shifts his whole face in a heartbeat as he realises what's happened!! I can't!!!
Christina in 4.14 after Rio re-delivers Beth's furniture / Beth and Rio 'he's in our way' scene
Christina plays weary about as well as Manny plays charming, which is to say very, very well, and there's something to the combination of that that shouldn't work, but really does. The exhaustion is palpable in both these scenes, and with that exhaustion, everything just feels a little closer to the surface. Both Christina and Manny play the beats with something that's not-quite-vulnerable, but not-quite-as-guarded as normal, and it just creates this sense of space, not just in the moment, but maybe for the future too.
I think that's me! What are some of your favourite acting moments on the show?
