For the longest time I've thought if you saw/read anything that consisted of:
fairy godmother, glass slippers, pumpkin into coach that would IMMEDIATELY equal Perrault's 1697 version
dead mother, birds, a golden slippers, cut off heels/toes that would IMMEDIATELY equal Grimms' version (1812 or later revisions)

I used to think this was common knowledge.
I know I've posted about this many times. I think I even posted this exact screenshot as citation of proof once, but I can't find it.
WAIT WAIT WAIT
Tumblr media
YOU'RE TELLING ME
THE TITLE CARD FROM CINDERELLA (1950) EXPLICITLY SAYS IT'S BASED ON THE PERRAULT VERSION OF THE STORY???
WE COULD HAVE AVOIDED ALL THE SANCTIMONIOUS EDGELORDS SMARMING ABOUT HOW "well Disney toned it down; the One True Grimms' Original akschully has blood and no fairy and feet getting cut up, so there" IF THEY HAD JUST
BOTHERED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE MOVIE AND THEN GOOGLE "PERRAULT CINDERELLA???"
excuse me I need to go scream into a pillow
(I'm not saying Ashenputtel isn't possibly older as a folktale than its 1812 publication date in the Grimms' book, but Perrault's version was published in the 1690s. so...)

One Piece episode 1097
thoughts/reactions below! ahoy spoilers!
as expected, I cried (again)
this brought back a lot of the same feelings and thoughts I had when the chapters released
new explanation section; it's fascinating to watch because it (and when it was Robin and Chopper) did the job of giving character and story background, which for a show as long and interwoven as One Piece, is actually quite useful, especially if there's a new viewership (of course, spoilers will be prominent)
I do not begrudge Saul being alive because (1) seeing Robin happy-cry was worth it, (2) having someone from Robin's past still be alive is a nice thing for her; not everyone you knew has died; I'm glad for that for her
I appreciated the explanation of the Vegapunks and how Punk Records works (I admit I didn't fully remember)
knowing about Kuma's backstory makes the "these three founded the Revolutionary Army" hit differently than when I read it
Dragon is certainly interesting
the scene where everyone's reacting to Shaka's story is still a fav

Hey all, you know how internet searches suck now? When the results are awful, full-of-AI, death-of-the-internet levels of bad?
Start appending date constraints to your searches - "before:2023".
My results have gone from 90% AI bullshit to ~60% usable - which frankly at this point is a huge improvement.

Surprised to see Shirahoshi but I get it.
She's really more of a Little Mermaid (see the surface/sun) meets Rapunzel (trapped in a tower since a child), minus the romantic plots.
But when it comes to the definition of this poll: similarity to Andersen's TLM, I feel it's a little fuzzy, actually. But I get why she was submitted.
ROUND 1B, MATCH 5 OUT OF 8!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda Under the Cut:
Shirahoshi:
Why she's a Little Mermaid: She is a teenage mermaid princess who lives in an underwater city, was locked in a tower her whole life, and she wants to see the outside world and live on the surface. She also made a promise with the main character to one day see a forest on the surface with him. The subversion: She was locked in a tower because of a creepy stalker trying to kill her. She wants to live on the surface because her mom, who tirelessly campaigned for Mermaids/Fishmen to have equal rights and live on the surface, was politically assassinated and Shirahoshi has inherited her will. She's also not little, she's HUGE, almost 39 feet long.

ETA: added something (#5)
my-based-on-nothing-but-my-opinion summary of what's left in One Piece, seeing as Egghead is adhering pretty thematically to what I would expect:
Elbaf; legendary myth explains stuff
more Blackbeard problems
Vivi rejoins
df-science problems
origin of df
big battle at sea at the end of the Grandline

One Piece episode 1096
manga (ch. 1109) and anime spoilers
I really enjoyed the extended "Luffy and Chopper try to figure out how to make the robot move" scene. Very cute. (Docking didn't do much, you two.)
Could definitely see the padding with the Ohara recaps. But overall, it was a lot of "let's cry about Ohara and the legacy of inherited knowledge". This will continue next week.
Also, there's something nicely poetic (symmetrical?) about Vegapunk's intro in the anime coinciding with his apparent death in the manga.

I'm rewatching the whole thing dubbed now (currently on Skypiea), but I also just watched the new episode, and I was thinking about which I prefer. Kinda curious what everyone else thinks. Feel free to say why as well, I'm very curious.
