These days when you kiss a prince you often run the risk of turning him into a frog. But don't let the ogres in shining armor get you down. There is no need for distress - you don't want to be anyone's damsel anyway. Simply remind yourself that you are busy racking up those 'frequent failure points' that will eventually pay for an all expenses paid trip to Mr Right.

The world is on fire and I've worn myself out with despair and stress. I need some tenderness today. So by Andraste's holy ass I'm going to make some.

New Rejected Disney Television Animation Pilots Unveiled "Odd Jobs" and "Portal Hoppers"

Recently we unveiled a a look to the rejected Disney TVA series Uncookedland, apparently Matt Danner ("Legend Of The Three Caballeros") worked as Director for the pilot.

As Danner was thanking the people for seeing the pilots where here worked on ("Shred Force", "MEGA, MEGA Whoosh" and Uncookeland"). Cartoon Network Studios creator Andrew Dickman ("Harmony In Despair") mentioned a pilot under the name "Odd Jobs" where he worked on.

Not many information for Odd Jobs or it's creator is available however based on it's title we can assume is a wacky episodic comedy about the mcs having multiple jobs.

Recently JJ Villard attended the Creative Block podcast where he commented about his career as cartoonist/animator that lead to create the Adult Swim series "King Star King" and "JJ's Villard Fairy Tales" and the Cartoon Cartoons short "Scaredy Cat" that according to him almost lead him to be blacklisted after trying to sell it to Nickelodeon since Warner Bros/Cartoon Network dosn't want to release it and apparently broke the NDA contract.

During the podcast Villard revealed that he had a small overall development deal with Disney Television Animation with a show under the name "Portal Hoppers" according to Villard the series was aiming to be for Disney XD, as it's name says the show would have been about multiverse dimension hopping alongside the likes of Star Vs The Forces of Evil by Daron Nefcy, Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero by Jared Bush and Sam Levine and Very Important House by Jenny Goldberg and Jhonen Vasquez this is the only information so far.

Likely "Portal Hoppers" was passed when Disney decided to bring back all DTVA series in development for the Disney Channel which made Portal Hoppers to feel out of place with the demographic Disney Channel is know for.

Adding on my post about how if the Evil Queen had manipulated Apple into thinking she was a good mom so Apple would free her the dragon special would be so much better, if they hadn't got rid of the book in wonderland and now the main tension is the fact that Raven had to sign it so they wouldn't die, but Apple has not signed it yet because the one she did sign in the ceremony thing was fake. So now the moral dilemma becomes that if Apple signs the book her fairy tale is bound to happen, just like he wanted, but Raven did not sign it because she wanted to, she did it for her and her friends survival

So Apple has to deal not only with the whole Evil Queen and her mom fiasco, she also needs to deal with the fact that no matter how much she wants to, she shouldn't sign the book because it would seal Raven's fate when she didn't agree to it out of her own free will

i do love canon amy & rory but god, does some part of me wish they really had gone with the idea of the doctor picking up a child as a companion (and then later, that child’s best friend with a huge crush on her.) with the rest of the season really not changing at all, except now it’s amelia pond with an angel in her head killing her and lost alone in the woods. it’s little rory who dies and is forgotten and becomes a toy soldier. if this is going to be a fairy tale, then let it be one. children have never been safe in fairy tales.

Picture of afro brazilian actress Adele Fátima playing the role of 'Clara das Neves' (a word play with 'Branca de Neve' (Snow White) and 'claras em neve' (egg whites, snow eggs or meringues in english) in the 1979 erotic comedy movie 'Histórias que as nossas Babás Não Contavam' (Tales Our Nannies Didn't Tell), which was a theatrically released parody of Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs for adults, part of the genre known as 'pornochanchada' that was popular between the late 70s to mid 80s during the climate of political opening and relaxing censorship in Brazil during the proccess of redemocratization.

This is the most family friendly picture of the movie that I could find to share on Tumblr.

Entangled with the Fae Series by Tessonja Odette

I love fairy tale retellings. I love romance and fantasy. This series has the perfect mix of the elements that catch my attention. I devoured these stories and I'm looking forward to reading the others.

These retelling give each fairy tale a twist that turns them into new stories. The author cleverly uses the elements of those Disney versions of these stories and incorporates them into the story. They become symbols of the fairy tale without compromising the story. I also love how the characters have their cameos in other stories. I recommend reading them in order so you don't get spoilers because you will meet the main characters in previous stories.

Here is the order and the fairy tale they retell:

Curse of the Wolf King - Beauty and the Beast

Heart of the Raven Prince - Cinderella

Kiss of the Selkie - The Little Mermaid

A Taste of Poison - Snow White

A Dream So Wicked - Sleeping Beauty

Warning: This books are not for young readers. I would say that people 18 years old or older can read them.
