“The box is only temporary.” in Sylvia Plath’s handwriting

...

The Arrival of the Bee Box

I ordered this, clean wood box Square as a chair and almost too heavy to lift. I would say it was the coffin of a midget Or a square baby Were there not such a din in it.

The box is locked, it is dangerous. I have to live with it overnight And I can’t keep away from it. There are no windows, so I can’t see what is in there. There is only a little grid, no exit.

I put my eye to the grid. It is dark, dark, With the swarmy feeling of African hands Minute and shrunk for export, Black on black, angrily clambering.

How can I let them out? It is the noise that appalls me most of all, The unintelligible syllables. It is like a Roman mob, Small, taken one by one, but my god, together!

I lay my ear to furious Latin. I am not a Caesar. I have simply ordered a box of maniacs. They can be sent back. They can die, I need feed them nothing, I am the owner.

I wonder how hungry they are. I wonder if they would forget me If I just undid the locks and stood back and turned into a tree. There is the laburnum, its blond colonnades, And the petticoats of the cherry.

They might ignore me immediately In my moon suit and funeral veil. I am no source of honey So why should they turn on me? Tomorrow I will be sweet God, I will set them free.

The box is only temporary.

—Sylvia Plath, written 4 October 1962, in: Ariel, 1965

(Ariel in Ariel's Story Studio)

I've often mentioned Ariel, The Little Mermaid, and mermaids in general were my first special interest, but I wasn't introduced to her through the original movie!

It was actually through this adorable Living Books-styled educational game my dad brought home from a trip to the States, with a story book maker (you can collect more stickers for use in the picture book scenes from nearly every "page" of the game), characters in bubbles providing running commentary on the scenes (Ursula's comments are especially mean), an absolutely lovely aquarium-style minigame where you fill it up with cartoony fish (but when you use the camera, you get photographs of their real life inspiration along with facts about their species!)...

I didn't talk very much as a kid (I certainly wasn't non-verbal, or at least... not entirely? Just a quiet observer mostly, but I was also quite spoiled ^^;;;), so looking at how quiet, curious, but undeniably clueless about the human world Ariel was (enthusiastic despite having no clue she's coming off strangely)... ah, no wonder I latched onto her immediately as an autistic kid. ^^;

A fish out of water is a very apt metaphor!

Thinking of Hans Christian Andersen and how he wept inconsolably face-down in the dirt at a bad review, how he overstayed his welcome at the Dickens' residence, failed to understand their hints, accidentally offended folks with with questionable or off-putting words, how he needed and expected help with grooming, and how his relationships fared... the possibility he was on-spectrum too (not that we could ever know for sure, given how long ago this was, but the way he missed social cues makes it likely)... it's just a lot that felt familiar.

It's interesting that this aspect of Ariel wasn't even in his original story!

#autism #The Little Mermaid #Hans Christian Andersen #Ariel #actually autistic #never used that tag before I think! #personal #body image #kinda? super cartoony #this game also had lots of little trinkets like music boxes so many music boxes I think it inspired a love for them

omg i really love your transmasc retellings of Beauty and The Beast!! silglskglks can you do Cinderella some other time? if you have the spoons?? hehehe

this is actually very fortuitous b/c I actually had a post talking about transmasc Cinderella a while ago!! I’ve thought about writing a short story about this actually, so I am quite prepared.

So Cinderella, despite being ostensibly a wealthy woman, is constantly dressed in rags and dirty. Her sisters take to femininity freely and gladly, but she is always a failure at it. They view her as ugly and pitiful. Her life is dominated by her female relatives who exert total control over her body and her actions; like many transmascs, she’s resigned to the role of silent, disgusting servant, kept with the rats. Even her name isn’t her own, it was something cruelly forced upon her by her abusive family. 

His Fairy Godmother appears and gives him the appearance of his dreams through transformation. I’m picturing a dope baby blue outfit with gold and rapier at his side, because y’know. Homoerotic swordfighting is a must when it comes to princes. It could be argued this transition changes his physical appearance and not just his clothes, and this is why the prince could not recognize him through sight alone. He transitions when nobody else is home, wearing clothes that his family would never let him wear, in order to sneak away to a ball and dance with a prince (a future… king?). It’s a night where he is finally free of her abusive family and is able to express himself however she wants. He doesn’t even have to tell the prince the name she was forced to use.

But then it’s midnight, and she has to get home– the need to get back in the closet before your family can notice is a struggle many closeted trans people can relate to. She has to run away and leaves behind the classic shoe.

I’ve imagined the shoe-putting-on scene, reworked for a transmasc Cinderella, to function like this: The prince is looking for a man, but the shoe is too small for every man he finds. When he comes to Cinderella’s house, her stepmother tells him there are no men in the house, but invites him in anyways so her daughters can flirt with him.

And while he’s there, he sees Cinderella. And even without the magic he recognizes the man he met. And he speaks to him in private and gives him the shoe, and allows him to choose to put it on and prove he is the man he’s been trying to find.

And then they go get get gaymarried (knighting ceremony) and birds still pluck out the eyes of the stepsisters. Because what’s a trans fairytale without a little grim(m) violence towards transphobes, hmm?

Specifically in the short story I mentioned, I’ve played around with the idea of using Cinderella to emphasize the experience of being too masculine to be a girl, and not being allowed to partake in activities that cis women would. The stepmother encouraging her daughters to be independent and educated, for example, but banning those things for Cinderella. Or, Cinderella being told not to cut her hair because it’s “her one good (feminine) feature.” Also, Cinderella sneaking into her father’s room to “clean” and trying on his suits in private. I think there’s also something to be said, when transmasculinizing Disney stories, for how many princesses have dead mothers, and the idea that trans men transition because they didn’t have a proper ~female~ influence. 

I just think transmascs deserve a story where a trans man gets to escape his abusive mother and sisters and get to magically transition and get a cool sword and a cool romance and be happy and safe, y’know?

#m. #ask box #transmasc retellings #i swore i had more notes on this idea somewhere but i couldnt find them #so i had to rewrite this from memory lmao #i highly recommend transing your favorite myth or fairy tale or childhood media #its fun and healing #ohhh ive also thought quite a bit about transmasc ariel. but anyways :)

You look like a doll<3

Thank you, that’s so sweet, I wish! Well I guess it depends on what kinda doll… I long for the essence of a Ashton Drake “Medieval Mood” Blythe

#but I’m probably the DIY weird barbie in the bottom of the box #with no pants on #growing up my brother had a little mermaid Ariel doll that he gave a buzz cut too… she never had her tail or clothes on and always looked #unhinged I think that’s who I’d be

[troglobite]

lol the dlc is glitching

i'm not about to complain, though, bc it meant that after every non-water type move that the reuniclus used on my vaporeon, her water absorb ability triggered and she gained hp lololol

#also not a glitch but something i love is just how much befriending your pokemon changes things #well this might've been a glitch but chien-pao withstood TWO heat waves with ONE HIT POINT just for me 🥺 #and since the dlc is all duo battles i was like fuck i'm gonna have to have ariel my vaporeon Surf #even though chamaco my skeledirge is also on the battlefield bc i HAVE to eliminate these two while she's terastallized #and CHAMACO quote AVOIDED THE MOVE IN TIME VIA [my] SHOUT #and i was just like overcome w emotion it's so cute #he was a good boy and he knew that ariel didn't wanna hurt him and to look out for her surf #bc she had to take out the opposition to save him and the rest of the team #bc chien-pao had just fainted from their joint heat waves and ariel was the only one who could take it #i mean jackie jr (the mudsdale) could've too but then both she and chamaco are weak to water #so really the surf was gonna get someone and chamaco said NO IT'S NOT I TRUST YOU! and he avoided it 🥺 #also still can't get over how chien-pao took three heat waves before fainting simply because they toughed it out for me #and the number of times they've all shaken off status effects through sheer force of will? amazing #i love this mechanic in the game it makes me so fucking happy #they are all my lil guys and i love them #ALSO i've been having to clean out my boxes to be able to fill up my pokedex in the new region! #and this whole time i've been like who from my original team am i missing? i can't remember! #I FOUND THEM IT WAS NIEVE THE ABOMASNOW HIDDEN IN BOX 35!!!

Most of (but not all--my Little Mermaid mouse and mousepad, for example, aren't pictured) of my Little Mermaid collection circa 2004 on a sheep skin rug.

#my first special interest #The Little Mermaid 1989 #The Little Mermaid #Ariel #and then mama and my sister ended up using things from my collection and giving the school supplies in the little bag #so much of my collection has been lost or destroyed yay..... I only want to collect not use stop that ;___; #all that's left are those cheap Simba dolls (I also have another cheap doll with Eric and... I think the twins from the series???) #the collector's edition doll on the right was ordered online by my mother but I dismantled it due to suspicion of sihr #.......... so basically all I have left are the cheaper dolls and they uh #lost hair due to the heat ruining the plastic #stares at ceiling #... I have some newer TLM stuff though!!! like books ;3; #it IS funny though that the only doll I took out of the box and played with (and ruined the hair of) was the collector's edition one #expensive tastes from childhood #even now cheaper plushies and toys I won't get attached to or want much BUT #the rarer/fancier/well-made ones now THESE I want to play with #my poor Deerling that's over a decade old getting a little bit roughed up because I want to take it places and take pictures of it #I keep it wrapped up and cushioned now if I want to carry it in a bag! #dolls
