== Love Notes ==

Hey Lovelies, I'm late again, but I'm kinda glad today. Do you know why? Well, because sometimes there are only so many things we can do in a day. Sometimes all we can do is get up in the morning, and feed ourselves, and the rest of the day is a bust.

Sometimes all we do is work, and we can't remember to drink water or take our pills. Sometimes we can do a lot! Sometimes we can do all the things.

So just remember, whatever YOU did today is enough, okay? You're making progress, bit by bit in whatever you're dealing with right now, and it doesn't have to happen all at once. Look at what you did today, and be proud of yourself because you made a huge, or a tiny step forward, and that is STILL A STEP FORWARD, and you can be proud of yourself for that.

One of the hardest things that I struggle with is that I have started to understand my own boundaries, and my own limits-- and sometimes other people don't respect those (none of you, don't worry). There's going to be people in this life, sometimes people close to you, who are supposed to be supportive, but they're dealing with their own struggles and sometimes try to push you past your boundaries for their own sake.

This is just a gentle reminder, that even if THEY tell you that you/what you're doing isn't good enough, that's absolutely NOT true, okay lovelies? You are doing enough. You are going at your own pace, and that is perfectly acceptable, and absolutely necessary for you to keep going.

Don't destroy yourself for their piece of mind. You deserve better than that. Go at your own pace. You're doing great. Be proud of yourself-- I'm proud of you. Hope you all have a wonderful Friday/Early Saturday Lovelies. Take care okay?

Journey Across the Disneyverse: Second Day

In honor of the 100th anniversary of the Walt Disney Animation Studios, I'm rewatching some of my favorite films from the studio.

This were the ones that I watched today.

1 - Peter Pan (1953)

I will say something that will revogue my status as Disney nerd and Disney adult: this film is very weak.

Mary Blair artwork is still beautiful and amazing, and the animation is very well done. Neverland is a delight to the eyes.

But I feel like it lacks heart, it lacks a genuine emotional connection. Something is missing here.

The thing that gets on my nerves is that it lacks a proper ending. On Disney+ they had a deleted ending, and it feels so much more like an actual resolution that this movie's ending.

Wendy gets to say farewell to Peter, she and her brothers get to choose to grow up, while Peter and the lost boys get to choose Neverland. Wendy also is in better terms with Tinkerbell. Peter and Wendy also had an amazing romantic tension.

All of this would make the movie so much better.

2 - Sleeping Beauty (1959)

Disney reached storytelling maturity with this one. This is the ultimate fairy tale movie.

They transformed an already iconic fairy tale in an action-packed epic love story.

Despite giving name to the film, Aurora isn't the protagonist. She is a living McGuffing that drives the plot.

The real protagonists are the three good fairies, Flora, Fauna, and Meriwether, who deserve much more recognition from Disney itself and from fans. It's amazing how they are the main responsible for the movie passing the Bechdel test, even though some still decry the movie as sexist.

3 - The Little Mermaid (1989)

Blessed be Howard Ashman.

This film modernized the Disney formula with amazing effects.

It's definitely not the somber, tragic love story from the original Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, but it manages to create its own thing, a colorful and vibrant coming-of-age, romantic comedy.

I hate how the same people who decry past Disney heroines for being so bland and super perfect, crap on Ariel only because she acts like a genuine flawed, curious teenage girl.

4 - Beauty and the Beast (1991)

Blessed be Howard Ashman again.

What I loved most about this film is that it flips the original message of the fairy tale on its head.

A thing must be lovable first before it's loved. Love must be earned. You can't act like a beast and still force people to look past your obvious toxic flaws.

Belle is under no obligation to love the Beast. She isn't at any moment forced to look past his toxic behavior. It's the Beast who has to improve himself in order to gain her affection. He is the one who has to change.

True love is liberating, and not trapping. Beast might be the one who trapped Belle in his castle, but it's only when he gives her freedom and autonomy that Belle reciprocates his affection.

I love how the filmmakers confirmed over the years that if the curse weren't broken, Beast would go full Queen Elinor from Pixar Brave, and become a full beast. All the castle staff would become fully inanimated and die. Yet, Beast still puts Belle's wellbeing over his, letting her go, knowing full well that this would kill him and everyone on the castle.

Because true love is selfless, not selfish.

I also love how this film dials down the creepiness of the fairy tale by adding hundred of sidekicks on Beast's Castle.

If Belle were to be completely alone with the Beast, then we would have the child-friendly version of that scifi movie with Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence. But if Belle has actual people to make her company, people who often go completely against their master's orders, then things are less Stockholm-ism.

Reference books, etc.

I ordered a bunch of books from a shop on Instagram. When the shipping box arrived, it had a couple small pieces of cute decorative paper ribbon taped on and sealed with a "thank you" sticker. I didn't take a pic of that because I didn't think to, and now I've broken through it to get it opened.

Inside, all the book orders were wrapped in bubble wrap, but underneath I could see brown paper packages with decorative paper ribbon and presentation cards. One has a bookmark from the shop, and another has a thank you note.

PRECIOUS.

Here's what I got!

Notice the Ivanhoe and The Complete Sherlock Holmes I and II. Also the Tales from Shakespeare, A Treasury of Hans Christian Andersen, Æsop's Fables, and Complete Fairy Tales by Brothers Grimm. Lots of reference material used in Black Butler, though I'm not sure of references made to Æsop... yet. J.M. Barrie wrote Peter Pan, and we know there have been references to that one (like Peter and Wendy at the circus).

The Unwanted is unknown to me, but I'm intrigued. The bookseller says E.F. Benson also wrote ghost stories. Well, the big selling point of this book, for me, are the "risqué" inner cover artworks. 😆

Very first two pages have me chuckling, particularly how as early as 1937, if not before, we were saying "We don't deserve to have dogs." 😆

TW

Sinking into habits that I thought are no longer a part of who i am Is much too similar to walking back home from unfamiliar places.

Why do i still feel lost, when I already know where I’ll end up ?

The imprint on my skin old patterns that are easily traced lighting up a path I know i burned down ages ago.

It’s a muscle memory really falling back into myself even when I’m not welcomed.

I can define beauty over and over again, reform every feeling I’m capable of experiencing  into something that will resemble it. I know beauty and I know of it. I am beauty;

So yes I know i am beautiful the way i am it was never my concern.

Yet that didn’t diminish the loudness of the whispers telling me how good i am for fading away

All this weight I lost although unintentionally at the beginning became an addiction

A satisfaction I tasted whenever I noticed I’m withering delicious enough for me not to crave anything else.

I’m getting better, I never wanted to romanticize this. but I also am never totally in control, not of my relation with food, nor life or words.

Sometimes, it’s easier to believe that i’m beautiful the way i was.

Maybe before I ever existed.

wendyfulmother asked: "Belle! I have something for you!" The younger girl called out excitedly, holding a very book shaped present in her hand, a book of Hans Christian Andersen's stories. The young girl halted in front of her and handed her the present, "Merry Christmas!"

" wendy ! bonjour ! " belle calls out to the other , meeting her halfway. " for me ? " she is taking the lovely gift in her hand , placing a hand on her own cheek with a thoughtful expression forming. " oh , but you really shouldn't have ! i feel so empty handed as i've only picked you a bouquet of flowers. perhaps it would be better for me to give you a new story to read ! after all , we both have an appreciation for literature. "

she kneels only slightly to give the young girl a big hug. " thank you , mon ami. i've already began to treasure our great friendship in such a short time period .. and with this , you chose a marvelous time to give me a story. i was just hoping to read a new book , but the bookshop was fresh out , i'm afraid. " she giggles.
