Ella Fitzgerald y Louis Armstrong por Phil Stern

[class-of-classic-blog]

I need to talk about Ophelia Ella before she became Cinderella.

Ophelia was not like other princesses even thou she had a happily ever after like others. She likes cooking, cleaning, gardening and sewing her own clothes. Everything other royals would call "servant work", but she took great pride in her own hard work.

She also had a lot of fears regarding her destiny, but she couldn't tell anyone because even her close friends praised it and couldn't wait for them to start. Was she really ready for it? Was she really ready to lose her mother? What kind of prince will hers be? What if he doesn't like her hobbies and her interests? What if he is a traditional prince and would stop her from cooking, cleaning and gardening because that's 'not what proper princess do"? What if he doesn't love her and only marries her for destiny and crown? Could she live in a loveless marriage? And what about her future child? Is she willing to die and not watch them live their life past teenage years?

Louis Charming. That was her destined prince. From some minor Charming family. They didn't know each other before legacy day, but they both agreed to take it slow, first being friends.

First, they would have short conversations about general things at lunch and between classes. Then they would from time to time go together for a coffee, to get to know each other better. After that, they started going to the library together to do homework and study. Sometimes they would just be in the garden together not saying a word, Ophelia doing her gardening, and Louis reading a book. Just feeling the presence of each other was enough. Nothing romantic yet, just platonic for start.

Then he started bringing her gifts. Nothing big, just some simple thing things she liked. Her favorite flowers, favorite chocolate, new tools for the garden, and a pretty embroidery set. Small things that she appreciated. And she started giving him some small gifts. Books he liked, his favorite childhood dish, embroidering his new cape and gloves with things he likes. They started spending more time together. Having breakfast together in the garden, walking trought woods, going horse riding, dancing together at night knowing they're alone.

They were falling in love slowly but deeply. Their love was simple and quiet. They understand each other the way no one else could. And Ophelia wasn't scared anymore.

That's until she held her daughter crying in her arms about how she rebelled and fell in love with a boy named Hunter Huntsman, who was not her destined prince, and how she was scared of destiny. That's when she remembered her scared and lonely teenage self.

She couldn't put her daughter through that, she loves her little girl too much for that. Ophelia knows that many of her friends would not approve of her choice, especially a certain queen. But she's ready to burn all bridges with Snow White for her daughter.

@cookinguptales says: #but the long and short of it is that a man who'd made his living creating 'phantasmagorias' (or scary magic lantern shows)#bought an old ruined and abandoned convent in the early 1800s#and rigged the whole thing up like a modern haunted house#and was utilizing things like ventriloquism and projections on smoke and such to make people think the place was haunted#keep in mind this was a real ruined convent with like real ruiined gravestones and stuff everywhere#people had never seen ANYTHING like it and they were terrified and enthralled#I would have loved to have gone#I'm sure a lot of the special effects would seem quaint these days but it really is the birth of special effects y'know?#and I'd love to see the showmanship
