I am not hyper fixated on anything right now. No ear worms repeating in my head either. Also cancelled my Netflix account.

How do people live like this?

Ranking Cinderellas

I'm so excited for Bridgerton Season 4. As we know, it's based off a Cinderella trope. Turns out, I love me a Cinderella theme.

So let's rank all the Cinderella related things I've watched, from my favourite to least favourite.

1. Cinderella (1997) - Brandy and Whitney Houston. Gotta be at the top for me, based on total watch count. It has Victor Garber, my all-time favourite supporting actor. I love the score, I love the performances. Too many other great stars to list. I sing Impossible while I wash the dishes and mop the floor. 10/10.

2. Cinderella (2021) - Camila Cabello and Nicholas Galitzine. I love a juke box musical with modern songs. My favourite scene is the "whatta man/seven nation army" mashup. I don't understand why so many people didn't like it. Solid modern ending too. Hooray for stories where women as treated as friggen normal people with aspirations and desires.

3. Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella (stage) - Technically it's the same as the Brandy one but the two versions are totally different so I'm ranking them separately. I love watching the Santino Fontana bootleg super cut on YouTube. I particularly like his version of "Me, Who Am I". Him and Laura Osnes have Disney voices. I also got to see it live in my city and it was such a joy. I suspend my disbelief for some of the problematic parts of the storyline heh.

4. An Offer from a Gentleman by Julia Quinn (book) - Ooft it was hard to rank this one. Depends if I'm in the mood for words or songs. Cos on a different day, this could be #2 on my list. I want a little bit more out of Book Benedict though so I'm looking forward to watching where the show will take it.

5. A Cinderella Story (2004) - Hilary Duff. Such a classic. Applies the Cinderella themes well. The diner, the cellphones, online romance, how the mains were so in tune with each other, the school dance. Again, so many big names, too many to name! Always gets a rewatch when I see it on the telly.

6. A Kiss at Midnight by Eloisa James (book) - Just read this the other day on my search for Cinderella themed stories. Still mulling over it. It wasn't an instant classic for me but it was an enjoyable Regency style story.

7. Disney's Cinderella (1950) - A cartoon classic, just like any other Disney movie.

8. Cinderella (2015) - I'm very shallow, I couldn't get over Lily James' eyebrows. Watched it once and can't remember it.

---

Give me the Cinderella story, insert characters from different franchises or give it a twist and I'll probably love it. Lol.

Any others I should check out?

There has to be a classical kpop cover in season 4, right?

I wonder which one

New season promos got me thinking bridgerton thoughts again.

I love how they've changed Sophie's name to suit the actress, as they've done with Kate and others.

However, the OCD data classification purist in me is annoyed because now there's 2 Tumblr tags and my old posts don't have the new name so the one tag won't be comprehensive anymore but who's going to back to retag old posts to fix this plus you don't want 2 different name tags for the same character on the one post and technically one surname could be for posts about the book character and the other name for the show character but how about when you're talking about the character overall so would you use one name with the alternate surname in brackets but that's not aesthetically good looking for a tag plus does Tumblr even allow bracket punctuation...

THIS.

I'm ready for some glove action kthx

This is INSANE

[it-me-sannore]

Oh lawd, they're just drip feeding me this goodness and I looove it!

She's just been saved from a horrendous situation and is worried he's going to recognise her.

He just wants to get home but is annoyed he's been brought up with morals and good manners, AND can't work out why she feels vaguely familiar.

He's sick, she's nervous, and they're both wet! *evil cackle*

Katie Leung looks so fierce as Lady Araminta in the new promos. I love her already!

I'm so excited for this story!

Squeeeee!!!

I know they're normal people. And they are not their characters. But it's so hard not to search every word and comment and look for a hint of benophie.

[it-me-sannore]

Oh god. I don't have to imagine it anymore. It's real. It's coming.

I'm so ready for this.

Oh just re-found this post. Let's see how wrong I was... Yep. Just the 1 out of 5. No overarching character storytelling across seasons. What a pity.

Some things I want to happen this season:

1. Benedict and Sophie meet at a ball at the end of the season

2. Francesca gets married (a given but I haven't followed spoilers so who knows)

3. A flyaway bonnet scene like how Pen first met Colin on a Monday but possibly repurposed

4. Lady Whistledown doesn't get outed this season

5. Which would also mean Cressida doesn't get her comeuppance yet

Let's set up future seasons please! Give me some proper storytelling.

I'm finally watching Bridgerton Part 2, 50 days after its release.

And the topmost thing on my mind right now is that I really like the composition and colouring of this particular shot 🤷‍♀️

Good day~

"Well in that case, come on in."

That pause Luke gives. I'm like a moth to a flame. A panting dog. He just reeeels me right in.

Countdown to season 4, baby!

[it-me-sannore]

My modem stopped working yesterday, 17th May - one day after the new Bridgerton season dropped.

Although it's a hassle that I'm still trying to fix, thank goodness it waited until I finished watching the show before it died.

If it broke earlier, I'd be so unhinged right now.

#you know it's serious when they pull that face

[it-me-sannore]

Part 1 in the bag! I posted this yesterday, specifically to see how well I'd do.

Let's see...

Pretty sure I can only get a maximum 2/5 with Part 2 to go.

They mentioned the bonnet meetcute as a throwback. So #3 not gonna happen.

And the promo for Part 2 looks like it's following the book so that's #4 & #5.

Also, I thought the promo pics of them seeing Colin in the 1st ep might be Francesca's wedding. It wasn't but it could still happen! So #2 stays on in the list.

And that's why they don't pay me the big bucks!

Some things I want to happen this season:

1. Benedict and Sophie meet at a ball at the end of the season

2. Francesca gets married (a given but I haven't followed spoilers so who knows)

3. A flyaway bonnet scene like how Pen first met Colin on a Monday but possibly repurposed

4. Lady Whistledown doesn't get outed this season

5. Which would also mean Cressida doesn't get her comeuppance yet

Benedict had a video promo card come out on April 28???

AND I TOTALLY MISSED IT??!!?

What the heck! How did I miss every single Tumblr post, like or tweet about it??

I could have been dissecting every new muscle movement of our dear expressive Benedict as my prep for the new season!

But APPARENTLY I've been living UNDER A ROCK.

I'm a fake fan.

...

It's fine. It's ok. Season drops this Thursday. Deep breaths. Just gotta hold myself together for a few more days.
