the other day iwas reading this cinderella retelling oo for adults aa the premise was after 13 years of marriage cinderella gets a witch to kill her husband blah blah. anyway it was honestly GOOD at first i liked the fairy tale setting i was having fun. it was a non linear narrative showing cinderella at the witchs cauldron making the evil spell with flashbacks to her marriage.
halfway through the book. the book for adults with the marketing hook of 'cinderella wanting to kill her husband'. she gets through with flashbacks and says. I don't want to kill him. i just want to be free! and doesnt go through with it and talks about how indifference is the opposite of love.. not hate. and jesus christ it made me so mad may. i was so mad. i havent finished it i rage quit but honestly. shouldnt have had high hopes for a miserable slog of a fairytale retelling in the first place! also the sisters didnt cut off their heels. and i sorta skipped to the edning and they did something where it was actually an escapist fantasy adn cinderella was a normal woman from new york city going through a divorce because got it whimsy cant exist in fantasy settings either it has to be a metaphor you have to shout at the audience THIS IS FAKE!! TALKING TEACUPS DONT HAPPEN!!!
anyway im rambling. tldr "grounded" fairytale remakes always fucking suck
even if I was reading shitty ya fantasy, if they pulled an "ackshully this is REAL LIFE!!!" at the very end I'd be leaving death threats on goodreads

OUAT Rewatch: 1X01 - Pilot
Who says you can’t go home?
The “Pilot” of Once Upon a Time is almost divine in how adored it is. I write this intro just as I prepare to press play on it, and I feel an undeniable tension in my heart. Is there anything that can be said about this episode that hasn’t been said a hundred times before? Am I able to say hello again so soon after saying goodbye?
Only one way to find out. *Presses play*
This gets a little long, so I’m going to be a good Tumblarian and stick my thoughts below the cut! Hope you give them a read!
-Press Release There’s no actual press release for the “Pilot,” but let’s be real, we know the deal. Emma Swan, a bail bondsperson has one hell of a 28th birthday when the son she gave up for adoption 10 years ago - Henry Mills - comes to her doorstep. A trip back to Henry’s hometown introduces Emma to an assortment of townspeople and an even more uncanny story of heroes and fairy tales. Meanwhile, in the past, we see Snow White and Prince Charming cope and fight for their love and family as the Evil Queen threatens them with a curse most vile.
-General Thoughts For a series that needs to weave a central theme around at least two separate plots, simplicity can be one’s best friend, and the “Pilot” is the epitome of that. The plots in and of themselves are simple - a war against a tyrant with a major threat in the flashback and a woman who has never had a family now dealing with one being thrown her way. However, it feels so much bigger, and that’s because hanging around our mains are characters and settings that you just know are going to grow in addition to our mains and transform these simple realms into something greater, something epic. Surrounding Snow and Charming during their discussion in the war room are a set of dwarfs, a fairy, and a cricket, and those same characters show up in our world and at the very least, Archie and Graham hold a promise of a larger role if for no other reason than their professions. We are being promised a more epic story without ever taking away time from the main story, and that’s simply incredible. I feel like there’s so much to gush about when it comes to performances, and because I don’t want this to be super long, I’m just going to highlight some of my favorite moments from each actor and actress in a single sentence. Jennifer as Emma walking towards Ryan like she was the God damned Terminator made me laugh hard and it characterized her as someone cool and confident, allowing for later scenes to paint more of her nuances by showing her vulnerabilities and desires for people in her life. Lana as Regina has a commanding presence during the wedding scene and shows off just what kind of threat she will be to all of those in her way going forward. Ginny as Snow giving up her baby and eternally coining the line “her best chance” is heartbreaking in such a profound way and allows the tragedy of their 28-year separation to subtly play out here and more overtly carry weight throughout the rest of the series. Jared as Henry’s pleas to Emma to listen to him convey a sense of innocence and vulnerability that can bring one back to the most frustrating moments of their childhood. Josh as Charming’s determination as he rides upon his steed in those opening moments allow the audience to feel every bit of intensity and immediately give his relationship with Snow - however obvious the turnout will be - some stakes. Finally, last but certainly not least, Bobby’s chilling performance as Rumple in the jail cell - from the movements of his long fingernails toe the sickly sweet way some of his lines come across - make him suo mysterious and scary as well as give Granny’s lines about him owning the town added weight. Finally, on a funnier note, I’m not gonna lie, but I always wanted an episode that would canonize the “prettier than I” line. Come on - throw Leopold in there, we get a bit more nuance into their relationship as well as see the effects on Regina of Leopold’s neglect for her needs over Snow’s and make a Regina/Snow present plot and there could’ve been something cool!
-Insights Here’s something I noticed during the wedding scene - The necklace Regina wears is the same one that Samedi brought to her in 7x12’s flashback. See “Flip My Ship” for my feelings on that, but I will point out that this gives us new insight as to when Facilier and Regina first met, although as she’s seen wearing it as the curse hits, it’s safe to say that at least one, if not both, of them could be replacements. Another thing I noticed shortly after that I just found funny was how during Regina’s speech to the Charmings, a lot of the guests weren’t cowering as much as gently averting their gazes. While watching the war scene, I couldn’t help but contrast it to the one in the finale. Snow lacks all manner of optimism in the one in the premiere, but by the finale, she’s the epitome of optimism! The wolf always seemed really weird to me, and now that I’ve seen its full schtick throughout the seasons, I gotta say, I’m not impressed. At first, it seems like the wolf was supposed to be a protector of Storybrooke, acting as an agent against Regina. But we’ve only seen it a handful of times and it’s acted like more of a MacGuffin than anything. And MacGuffins are fine, but this one was clearly supposed to mean something and it never really did, not even really in relation to what one would think would be its focal character (Graham).
-Arcs It’s hard to do a segment for arcs when a series has just begun because, well - every arc, in essence is beginning! And honestly, they’re all good, so I’m just going to write out the arcs that have been introduced here. Emma journey of belief Snow finding Charming The power struggle against Regina
-Favorite Dynamic Emma and Regina. I wanted to point this out somewhere, but the framing of their dynamic works so well. Parents who adopt children are more parents to a child than the parents who gave them up for adoption (Unless of course the birth parents died). This is something that we (should) fundamentally understand, especially in a case like this. Regina’s lines about changing diapers, enduring tantrums, and the like are true, and we - as well as Emma - sympathize and agree with that. Her position as mayor as well as the mother of a runaway boy also asks us to question our own feelings towards Regina throughout the episode. The animosity also doesn’t happen from the moment Regina and Emma meet. However, the conflict between them is not so simple. Due to both Regina’s harsh attitude and her actions in the Enchanted Forest, there’s an unease as we watch her, and while Emma’s situation in this matter is far from ideal on any level, we trust her and believe in the bond between her and Henry because while there is harshness there, there’s also an understanding. It’s such a nuanced conflict and knowing now where it has ended - in such a state where both mothers can co-parent Henry and enjoy each other’s company - allows for me to enjoy experiencing it again and appreciate the intricate steps taken making their relationship what it was.
-Writers As you all know, this was Adam and Eddy’s first episode, and it’s pretty freakin’ good! Unfortunately, until I’ve examine more of their episodes, I don’t have a lot to say here. The one thing I do want to point out is that - just like Regina in today’s episode - they are really good at making a strong entrance!
-Culture What made the “Pilot” of Once Upon a Time so popular? I didn’t watch this episode during its initial airing, but what I do know about the time it was released was that a lot of the dramas that were released tended to be gritty. There were exceptions like ABC’s Desperate Housewives, but it was a turn for the edgy in media. And then a show like OUaT came out, one that not only promised hope, but actually allowed for a payoff in the first episode, no matter how small it was in terms of plot. The score especially sells it. While there’s a tone of sadness to it, it’s overarching theme is hope, and that come off so clearly as it plays when the time on the clock changes.
-Rating How can I give it anything other than a Golden Apple? For those that didn’t read my intro, that’s essentially 10/10 with an * for it being truly something else. This episode is marvelous from top to bottom and its barely existent weaknesses are naught but nitpicks. Not only that, I feel like it left me with so much. I just wrote two and a half pages about this episode and I still feel like I’ve done a disservice to it. I didn’t talk about how just relatable and charming and magical everyone is. I touched upon performances, but there’s still so much to be said about everyone. How is it that Robert Carlyle wasn’t even on screen for five minutes and still left one of the biggest impacts of anyone, even some of those more featured than he was? I still have loads to say about Henry and Emma’s dynamic (I was tempted to cheat and put them up there too). I could talk into eternity about the parallels and the setups and the goofy moments in the background. I could speak to how even in episode 1, Storybrooke becomes more not of a place, but a character. I want to read all kinds of things into the line “There’s not a lot of things I’m great at in life.” This episode is so great that it makes me feel guilty for not glorifying it enough, and that’s what makes it worthy of a Golden Apple.
-Flip My Ship Shadow Queen - HE HAD HER PILOT NECKLACE!!!! OMG! MY SHADOW QUEEN SHIPPER HEART IS JUMPING FOR JOY! Snowing - Snowing’s connection throughout this episode was just awe inspiring. You feel the connection between them in every word they spoke and every exchange of expressions they held. It’s demonstrated the most clearly when Snow asks Charming to go and see Rumple. Just the way that she says “him,” and with a look, you just see how he gets it. At the same time, they’re not without conflict and distinctions between the two of them. They have disagreements and act on their own, but are still unmistakably meant for each other. There are many relationships on the show that attempt realism, and even Snowing itself in Storybrooke will encounter that, but moments like these paint Snowing as fantastical and paint a picture of romance here that becomes iconic. Swan Queen - I love me some FoeTP’s and their’s was one hell of a start! The ambiguity of Regina’s intentions and motives as well as sprinkles of selfishness and coldness with and on Emma’s part make their chemistry truly delightful! I reflected on what I liked about them above in my “Dynamics” section, but everything there works fully down here too.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
And that about covers my thoughts on the premiere! I promise you that future posts won’t be nearly as long (Fingers crossed. This took quite a few hours to put together). Hope you liked them and thanks once more to the fine folks at @watchingfairytales for putting this rewatch together! Season Tally (10/220) Writer Tally for Season 1: A&E (10/70)

How Andy Serkis went from playing Gollum to directing his first movie — and the pressure of making a non-Disney 'Jungle Book'
Astrid Stawiarz/Getty
Known for being the master of the motion-capture performance following his roles as Gollum, King Kong, Caesar (in the “Planet of the Apes” movies), and currently Supreme Leader Snoke (“The Force Awakens,” “The Last Jedi”), Andy Serkis is throwing a major curveball on all of us for his feature directorial debut.
“Breathe,” about the life of Robin Cavendish — who became paralyzed from the neck down from polio — and his wife Robin, is a traditional biopic that is fueled by the performances of its leads Andrew Garfield as Robin and Claire Foy (Netflix's "The Queen") as Diana. The intimate love story is a departure from the usual CGI-focused work Serkis is known for. The movie was made through his production company, The Imaginarium, which mostly focuses on mo-cap projects.
But this is only a brief departure.
The opportunity to make “Breathe” came to Serkis while he was in post production on an extremely ambitious project: A live-action “The Jungle Book” movie for Warner Bros. that will feature a lot of big name actors doing mo-cap of the legendary characters that were brought back to the zeitgeist after Disney's CGI blockbuster release of its own "Jungle Book" movie in 2016.
Business Insider chatted with Serkis in New York City about finding the time to make “Breathe,” why he’s completely okay with movies resurrecting deceased actors through CGI, the status of “Jungle Book,” and how he created the Snoke voice.
Jason Guerrasio: You run The Imaginarium with Jonathan Cavendish, the son of the main characters of "Breathe," Robin and Diana. How did you meet him?
Andy Serkis: Jonathan had seen a film I had made called "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll" about Ian Dury, who was a polio sufferer, and a punk rocker first and foremost, and he loved it and began telling me the story about his father. And then he told me he had been developing the script for five years. So we started The Imaginarium.
Guerrasio: So basically you were like, good luck with all of that with your family script.
Serkis: Yeah, it wasn't really the idea I was looking for. We were looking for other directors to direct it. And then I took the script home and I was just floored by it. It was just so incredibly powerful and emotional and you never read scripts like this in terms of the emotional content of it. So I was like, "S---, I'm having lunch with him tomorrow and I think I'm going to pitch me directing his parent's life story." So I did.
Guerrasio: At this point it's just script stage, no talent attached.
Serkis: Right. None. And he said, "Yeah, let's do it." So we started developing it and then "Jungle Book" came along and we started working on that and then that became a long preproduction. We shot "Jungle Book," principal photography, worked on it for a year and a half, and then this weird opportunity came up in the long post production we've had. Andrew and Claire became available and we raised the money in seven weeks and we shot the whole thing in seven weeks.
Bleecker Street/Participant MediaGuerrasio: Was that a nice time to shut off the part of your brain that was focused on "Jungle Book" or while making "Breathe" are you juggling that as well?
Serkis: Juggling lots of plates.
Guerrasio: But was it fun to shoot something that wasn't going to be as heavy motion-capture as "Jungle Book" is?
Serkis: I was so looking forward to it. This joy of seeing the performance at the end of the day rather than waiting a year and a half to see how a character is going to turn out eventually was a joy.
Guerrasio: Is that the big difference of directing "Breathe" versus "Jungle Book," the immediacy of it?
Serkis: In many ways it's the least complicated shoot I've ever done. On "The Hobbit" for Pete Jackson I was his second unit director, so that was my first grand scale experience as a director. Stepping onto a set with 150 crew and working for 200 days straight. The technical side of it was a huge education. So I felt prepared when I went into "Jungle Book."
Guerrasio: Was it nice to go back to basics, so to speak, of traditional filmmaking with "Breathe?"
Serkis: The simplicity was tied together with the brief shooting days. On those big projects you have nothing but time, this was like we have to get all of this in seven weeks. There was pressure. I didn't want to just make a film that felt like a drama-documentary that's handheld and not lit well. I always wanted to make it cinematic. It's based on truth but I wanted it to feel like a fairy tale which gradually gets stripped away towards the end of the movie.
Guerrasio: What did Jonathan think of the movie?
Serkis: He was by my side every day.
Guerrasio: But it's one thing if you make a biopic and the person it's based on is still alive, you may meet them briefly and maybe they'll come out and do press. This is the son of the main characters right next to you. Was it more pressure?
Serkis: We're such close friends, it was a joy. And he's so objective about his life. He wanted to see it from the outside. That was a gift.
Guerrasio: So you found the right guy to be your business partner.
Serkis: [Laughs] That's true. It could have gone horribly wrong.

Guerrasio: What's the latest on "Jungle Book?"
Serkis: We're in a really good place with it. We shot the performance capture, it's live-action, so we shot in South Africa with this amazing young actor named Rohan Chand. Our version is darker in tone to the Disney one. Which I loved.
Guerrasio: So you have seen it?
Serkis: Oh, yeah.
Guerrasio: You didn't feel like, "I can't see it, I have to go in fresh with mine."
Serkis: No. No. Because I just wanted to make sure we weren't covering similar ground and I don't think we are. There was a point where we were neck and neck, these films were potentially going to come out within months of each other.
Guerrasio: Could you sit back and enjoy Jon Favreau's movie and not analyze the heck out of it?
Serkis: When we were shooting at the same time there was a bit of that worry, but I knew our script was for a PG-13 audience. It's a story about identity and we're using performance-capture as opposed to the whole jungle being CG. So, honestly, you can't think about the other one, you focus on what you're doing. I love where it is. We have designed these animals that you can very much see the actors' faces we have — Cate Blanchett, Christian Bale, Benedict Cumberbatch — in them.
Guerrasio: So you're just deep in post right now?
Serkis: Yeah. The animation is flowing. I think it's in good shape.
Guerrasio: I would like your thoughts on motion-capture in general. We've now had CGI versions of living people — Michael Douglas in "Ant-Man," Robert Downey Jr. in "Captain America: Civil War" — but also people who have passed away — Peter Cushing and Carrie Fisher in "Rogue One" — is there a certain line the industry should not cross in regards to using the tools we have?
Serkis: You mean digital resurrection?
Guerrasio: Exactly.
Serkis: I think if it's handled with taste and it honors actors who have passed and their families are happy, the estates are happy, if it's done in a respectful way, I think that's perfectly fine. But there has to be a good reason for doing it. Dramatically. Storywise. I mean, I think digitally resurrecting any character from history, Abraham Lincoln could have been performance-captured or Winston Churchill for that matter, it's a way of doing it. It's so funny because we love real stories and bringing people back to life through them. Think of how many actors have done an impersonation of somebody else. Wouldn't it be great to have the real Elvis Presley or someone through 3D imagery?
Disney/LucafilmGuerrasio: The recent "The Last Jedi" trailer has Snoke’s voice prominently featured. How did you come up with the voice?
Serkis: When I first worked on it with ["The Force Awakens" director] J.J. [Abrams] there was an evolving design of the character. It was going through lots of changes. But it's all about where a character carries his pain, or aggression, or emotional centers and with Snoke it was very much there [putting his hands to the back of his head]. And his skull has got this big scar in the front, so for me it was a fracturing. He's got this cleft in his head and I think it's very painful for him to speak and yet there's an imperiousness about him. He's severely damaged but there's a vulnerability that's he's trying to cover so that was sort of what I was trying to do.  
Guerrasio: I'd like your thoughts on the recently news about Harvey Weinstein's alleged sexual harassment and assault. Weinstein was an executive producer on all the "Lord of the Rings" movies. What's your reaction to the revelations?
Serkis: I think there's no excuse for a culture that allows for any kind of bullying or coercion on predatory behavior and I think we are behoove not just in this industry but across all industries to be vocal about that and to encourage and help and support people who are brave enough to come out and to challenge people who are in positions of authority if they behave badly. That's it.

New Post has been published on Home Decor Help
New Post has been published on http://www.homedecorh.com/hygge-decoration-the-10-keys-to-a-happy-home.html
Hygge Decoration: The 10 Keys to a Happy Home
Today we talk about hygge decoration or inspired by the pursuit of happiness in our home, or how to enjoy the simple things, which has become the feeling of the moment in decoration.
A new word that is incorporated into the dictionary of decoration terms: hygge (pronounced hu-ga). This is a Danish term that comes to express something like what you feel when you are in front of a fireplace reading a good book with a good cup of hot chocolate or something as simple as enjoying the simple things, the small pleasures that Offers us life. That is hygge, which usually translates as cozy or comfortable but goes much further because it expresses a state of well-being that we all wish to create in our home and for that reason, this word until recently unknown, has become a whole revolution in The world of decoration. And is that for something the Danes have an enviable standard of living, a style of decoration copied throughout the world and are the happiest society in the world, according to UN surveys.
Perhaps because of all this hygge decoration or inspired by that search for happiness in our home, has become the sensation of the moment and is one of the most outstanding trends in home decoration. Moved home, it’s kind of like turning our home into a place where we let out all the worries, relaxed and comfortable. And how can we translate this in terms of decoration? By following some simple tips that will help us give our decoration that hygge touch that will make it the perfect place to rest after a long day or where to enjoy with friends a pleasant hours of talk around a table or a fireplace. Make your life more hygge and your happiness will increase!
10 Hygge Decoration for Your Home
1. The priority in hygge decoration
It seems simple but sometimes we forget, in decoration, that who should use each element of our home are the people who inhabit it. Hence this is one of the first maxims to keep in mind, creating spaces designed to make people feel at ease and relaxed. How to apply this in decoration? Well it is very simple, before designing in our furniture we should seek comfort and provide us with well-being. Before a sofa the first thing that we must ask ourselves is if we feel comfortable in it, if they give us comfort, more than if they are the last design. The same thing in front of our bed or in front of a chair or armchair. Prioritize comfort and your body and mind will thank you. And so do your family and friends.
2. A serene atmosphere with light colors
Light colors help us create a more serene, stress-free space. Tones such as white, brown, gray or beige contribute to create a serene atmosphere, also pastel tones. The Danes often bet on monochrome spaces or almost where the colors combine in harmony, without great stridencies. This will help us relax and rest both in the bedroom and in any space in our home. Also bet for the simplicity of the hygge decoration and not overcrowding the spaces, all this will allow your mind to rest and will make you feel better at home.
3. The importance of details
Surround yourself with elements that bring you well-being, relaxation and peace. For it, nothing better than the objects we love, which evoke good moments in our memory, inspire us and make us feel. Family pictures, pictures from our trips, drawings given… in your decoration bet on those elements that for you are special and necessary. Also the recycled elements that tell us stories and to which we can give a new use. Memories of family, small details of some trip, your favorite books… the details are what make a house unique and special and make it “our home”. Pay attention to them and you will notice them in the environment.
4. Wood and natural materials
Another essential element in any home inspired hygge decoration is wood. The wooden floors will bring warmth and make us feel in harmony with nature. But also tables, tables made with logs, chairs… The wood in any of your varieties will bring us warmth. In the materials also choose the most natural ones like the wool, the skin, the linen or the cotton in carpets, cushions, blankets, etc. Warm blankets under which you take refuge on a Sunday afternoon or fluffy cushions on which to lie down while you enjoy a movie on the sofa. Mixing different textures is also helps us create warmth and home feeling.
5. The Importance of Light
In the Nordic countries know well how important is the light and therefore its windows have no curtains or very thin to allow the light to pass and enjoy it even in the darkest days of winter. The fireplace is an essential of any home and if you can have it you surely enjoy it but if not, the candles can also be a great option when it comes to enjoying a hygge, more warm and cozy. For something the Danes consume about 6 kilos of candles a year. Take every opportunity to turn out the lights and take out the candles and enjoy a romantic and warm atmosphere. And it is that in the light of the candles everything looks better. Yes, white candles and no smell. Simplicity first.
6. Enjoy the solitude
The Danes are clear. Each person needs their private space and their moments of solitude that can be enjoyed, for example, reading a good book in our favorite armchair or taking a long bath in the bathtub. That is why hygge decoration does not give up those small pleasures that will give you so much even if you can only enjoy them at specific times. Do not give up the tub if you like toilets with foam or be sure to create a corner for your crafts where you can enjoy for hours forgetting the world. If you are from books, you will need a good reading chair. Or if your music is yours make sure you create your space to enjoy it and have your favorite discs on hand.
7. Without forgetting the social life
Because the human being is sociable and we need others to feel happy. Meetings are an essential part of life so your home must be prepared to host friends and family and create a climate suitable for meetings. Take into account all the details to create the perfect atmosphere around the table or on the sofa where you can maintain and prioritize the necessary elements such as a good sofa, a large table, comfortable chairs, puffs… Yes, we know that each floor Day are smaller but when it comes to deciding the decor think about it and you will not regret it. You will be able to enjoy many hours of joy and shared well-being.
8. Do not miss a little green
Plants and flowers should be part of our hygge decoration. Just a few plants and branches on the windows or tables can help us improve our well-being. There are many types of plants resistant to the interior and do not need too much care. And all sorts of original and different options, from hanging plants to small worlds in an aquarium. Whatever your choice, bet on them and you will not regret it. Their care is also a good way to relax and forget the world.
9. Enjoy the outdoors
No matter how small the space you have, do not give up enjoying the outdoors. The Danes, accustomed to many months of cold and fog, know this very well and that is why their philosophy is to take advantage of the slightest ray of sunshine and enjoy it from their balconies, terraces or patios. Do the same and turn your outdoor space into a special place to relax on any summer day but also in the middle of winter, taking advantage of the sunniest hours or pulling stoves and blankets. The sun and the outdoors bring us many benefits and make us feel happier and at peace with the world.
10. Learn to do nothing… and enjoy it
Perhaps this is the concept of the most important hygge decoration of all, in the background. Know how to take advantage of free time and enjoy them. An extra hour in bed, a few hours of reading in your favorite corner, take time to dedicate to review old photos… and all this away for a while from the connected world we live in: mobile phones, tablets and computers. People need to disconnect and relax, and it gets harder and harder each day. Do not feel guilty about it, learn to enjoy it.
