[irrelevant-ramblings]

okay super late to the party but finally watched Disenchanted, mainly bc queen idina menzel was in it and also queen amy adams AND maya rudolph.

anyway so i have questions about nancy, actually? like i really want to know how miss no nonsense, i run a fashion boutique in new york city just up and decided you know what, screw all this, i’m moving to a fantasy kingdom? like what kind of life was she leading before this and how bad did it have to be for her to just leave everything behind? did she not have friends and family?

also how did her and edward fall in love? how did she go from practical street smart new york woman to the one we see in Disenchanted?

it was a pretty good sequel tho and “the flowers on your dress bring out the… other flowers on your dress” is 100% something i would say as someone who’s main goal in life is to become a flower growing druid lmao.

Music & Silence by Rose Tremain

So, the person that recommended the Robert Harris Cicero trilogy to me, which I adored (Imperium https://www.tumblr.com/joebloggshere/679458295216570368/imperium-by-robert-harris-i-really-enjoyed-this - Lustrum https://www.tumblr.com/joebloggshere/692367732075790336/lustrum-by-robert-harris-the-second-book-of-the - Dictator https://www.tumblr.com/joebloggshere/704238607209218048/dictator-by-robert-harris-wow-the-third-book-in ) also highly recommended this book to me. Although Rose Tremain is not one of my favourite authors I thought I would give it a go.

What can I say, other than it is an interesting book about Denmark in the sixteen hundreds but I just didn’t love it. Sorry. There is some excellent writing, some interesting vignettes but as a whole I was not satisfied.

Having said that my friend has reread this book several times as has his wife and it won the Whitbread Novel Award in 1999 together with many amazing accolades, so I am obviously missing something here.

Why don’t you give it a go and see what you think?

In defense of a "Wicked Stepmother":

Sarah's Stepmother in "Labyrinth", named Irene in tie-in media, only gets about a minute of screen time before Sarah rushes off to her room in a soaked snit. Fanfic writers usually turn her into an evil bitch and even the manga sequel, "Return to Labyrinth", has her cold and abusive to Toby, her biological child. But here's the thing...

I think Sarah's mother gets a bum rap.

Dressing nicely for an evening out and having mild conflict with a teenager does not a Lady Tremaine make. And as someone who actually lived with a narcissistic, manipulative, emotionally abusive stepfather, I can tell you that Irene doesn't even come close to wicked step parent territory.

Backstory first. It's never spoken of in the film, but clues in Sarah's room tell us that her real mother is a stage actress who abandoned her and her father for another actor. Sarah idolizes her mother and tries to emulate her with play acting. Sarah's father met and married Irene sometime after Linda ran off, and Sarah, who thinks her mom walks on water, resents the hell out of Irene for taking her place. A place that Linda abandoned for another man.

She couldn't help it. He looked like David Bowie.

Let's look at her first alledged transgression. She won't let Merlin into the house. Instead she orders him into the garage. Heartless, we assume because we all love dogs and only the most soulless of monsters don't. But slow down. She didn't leave him out in the rain. She put him in the garage. Furthermore, Merlin is an Old English Sheepdog. Is he a nice dog? Sure, but he's also a breed that's notorious for being high maintenance and hard to keep clean and right now he's soaking wet and filthy. Irene isn't being cruel, she's trying to keep him from ruining the carpet.

So now Sarah and Irene are in the house about to have their confrontation. "Sarah, you're an hour late..."

Sarah lost track of time. Sarah is the one who screwed up. Irene has every right to be frustrated. For all we know, she and Robert were supposed to see a movie or meet someone and Sarah's tardiness wrecks their plans. Note, please, that while she is frustrated, she's not even yelling. My mom would have screamed bloody murder and then held it over my head for weeks.

"Your father and I go out very rarely..."

"You go out every single weekend!"

There is no way to confirm who is right on this. I will say Sarah is the one prone to hysterics and exaggeration, so it's not looking good for her.

"And I ask you to babysit only if it won't interfere with your plans."

I ask. Irene asks. She doesn't demand, and she doesn't expect Sarah to give up her previous plans.

"Well how would you know what my plans are? You don't even ask me anymore!"

Sarah, you were LARPing in a park by yourself. Furthermore, with the storm you would have gone home anyway.

"Well I assume you would tell me if you had a date. I'd like it if you had a date. You should have dates at your age."

Irene doesn't want Sarah to be a Cinderella stuck at home every night. She wants her to go out and have a social life. This is literally the opposite of the bedtime story Sarah tells Toby later.

Also, "I'd assume you tell me..." Irene might not be wording it in the best way here, but she wants Sarah to communicate with her. She wants them to have a relationship.

Then Robert enters the scene. "Sarah, you're home. We were worried about you."

WE were worried. As in both he and Irene. You think that's the reason she was waiting on the porch? Because their sixteen year old daughter is an hour past when she said she'd be home and now it's raining and getting dark?

It's not like she'd ever talk to a stranger.

Sarah runs up the stairs in a snit, not even acknowledging her father and leaving Irene dismayed. "She treats me like a wicked stepmother in a fairy story no matter what I say." Her voice isn't angry, it's hurt. She's making an effort to reach Sarah, but nothings working. She can't break through the tantrums and the anger and the hero worship of Linda.

Sarah is a fantasy junkie. It's all over her room. Her books are all fairy tales. Her dog and her teddy bear are named after figures from Arthurian legend. But she's wrapped herself in a different kind of fantasy, a toxic one. One where Irene, well meaning and kind, is one of the evil stepmothers from her fairytale books, while Linda is good and virtuous like one of the dead moms at the beginning. Except Linda isn't dead. She's shtupping a costar.

Part of Sarah's coming of age and maturity is rejecting Jareth, the stand in for her mother's lover and therefore finally rejecting following her mother's selfish path. We see her finally let go of Linda by putting her picture and clippings in the drawer. Hopefully, the next morning, after she picks the confetti out of her hair, she'll finally be able to start over with Irene.

𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥, 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞, 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫-𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐭.

Kathryn Merteuil from Cruel Intentions is portrayed by Ketu natives. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Amy Adams, and now Sarah Catherine Hook.

Characters that I randomly thought would be Kathryn Merteuil's daughters, just so happen to be played by Ketuvians; particularly known for having manipulative, cunning, power-driven personalities.

This relentless pursuit for power and control extends to other Ketu characters. I have explored this theme already in my Ketu Dominant Themes post, I just didn't use female characters as my examples.

Cersei Lannister is an extreme version of this archetype, set in this non-modern, brutal world in Game of Thrones, known for her psychopathy.

Being extremely ruthless and cunning, with a thirst for power and control and an unchecked ambition, it doesn't come as a surprise that she is portrayed by a fire sign native Lena Headey (Venus nakshatras share these themes, as well).

Reminded me of Cate Blanchett's character from Cinderella, Lady Tremaine, who has a desire for control and maintaining power. She is absolutely heartless and cruel.

The same actress also played Hela who driven by power, is absolutely cunning and even more ruthless, possessing this superiority complex.

Having this deep desire to dominate and conquer, it comes as no surprise that the actress has an Aries stellium; proving it true that the rashi comes first, as the signs alone can be known for these negative, power-seeking traits. These fiery traits in the Ketu section are specifically exaggerated. The Ketu rulership seems to not only exaggerate the traits of the fire rashis, but darken them too. Technically; Ashwini is Dark!Aries, Magha is basically Dark!Leo and Mula is just Dark!Sagittarius lmaoo.

Just shortly describing Hela's Ashwini traits, I thought of Azula, who is voiced by Magha Sun Grey DeLisle.

Having a fiery determination and borderline exaggerated Leo traits; much like Hela, she is obsessed with being domineering. Known for being cunning, extremely ruthless and driven by power and control.

Another Hela-type character is the formidable antagonist, Artemisia, played by double Ketu native Eva Green in 300: Rise of an Empire.

Similar to Azula, she is driven by vengeance and is relentless about it. She is extremely strategic and power-hungry, seeking dominance over others and causing destruction.

Both Magha ASC Eva Green and Magha Moon Katie McGrath played the character Morgana, though with different arcs.

Eva Green's version of the character is more overtly power-driven and manipulative, as she has a double whammy effect of the Ketu nakshatras. While Katie McGrath's portrayal is her journey to villainy as she grows a thirst for vengeance and power, becoming a formidable force in the series.

Madison Montgomery from AHS: Coven! Played by Mula native Emma Roberts, she is undeniably ruthless and chaotic.

She seeks power & status in the witch world, being cunning, mean-spirited and manipulative.

In the same season, AHS: Coven, we also have the ruthless and powerful, vengeful witch Marie Laveau played by Magha Sun Angela Bassett. She means to assert her place in the world, embodying LEGACY (Magha nakshatra nod, much like Azula who strongly represents legacy and her ancestors).

And alongside her is Ashwini native Jessica Lange playing Fiona Goode, another ruthless, cunning Ketuvian/Fire sign character obsessed with power, youth and maintaining superiority over others.

Speaking of power-hungry witches; Ashwini Moon native Kathryn Hahn plays Agatha Harkness, who has a lust for power and control, finding herself completely fixated on Scarlet Witch's powers and wanting to gain control over such an immense force to master it within herself.

Magha Moon Helena Bonham Carter played the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland, the character having a very fiery temper and an obsession with control. The Leo characteristics being exaggerated by the nodal rulership, she has an oversized ego and an extreme sense of self-importance, ready to inflict punishment on those who slight her.

A far lighter, less sinister, version of this Ketu archetype, is the Evil Queen in Mirror Mirror, played by Magha Moon Julia Roberts.

She still fits this highly manipulative, power-hungry archetype, her motivations rooted in status and control over the kingdom.

These characters thriving on power and control speaks to the emptiness and wounds they hold within. People who naturally possess power do not seek it, yet it seems to be a theme for these Ketuvians to be hungry for it. As if there's a beast inside of them that wants to suck things in and conquer, which makes sense for the Ketu x Jupiter polarity as Jupiter has excess to give out and Ketu wants to possess it (as I've talked about Ketu constantly absorbing things & people intentionally or not). The more cunning portrayals show how these characters live through their domineering force, deliberately using it to pull things under their control; ready to combat any outside forces that mean to take away their status and things that signify power to them. This combativeness is specifically shown in Ashwini Moon Blair Waldolf who becomes very combative when threatened. I believe people forget that Ketu alone is different from Ketu nakshatras. The fire signs will always remind you that they're fire signs, that's why observations like "Ketu nakshatra people have zero ambition and only seek spirituality and they represent nothing" is a completely one-sided statement and a disregard to how the houses and signs ruling these nakshatras operate. If this observation were the case, then I wonder what the Ketu gold-digging archetype implies if not everything I talked about.

ReCount: Top 15 Portrayals of The Evil Queen

Tomorrow, Disney’s live-action remake of “Snow White” will be coming out…aaand I don’t think I’ve looked forward to a movie LESS in my entire life. -_- Seriously, I was iffy about the idea, to say the least, right from the word go, but the more I hear and see of the film - completely disregarding behind the scenes foolery, JUST focusing on the movie itself - the more I feel my interest and confidence dwindle. And there wasn’t much of that to begin with. The most disappointing aspect to me is Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen. Again, putting aside all the behind the scenes stuff, and how one may or may not feel about Gadot as a PERSON (I know opinions there can be VERY strong), as an ACTRESS I was actually looking forward to that piece of casting. But the more I see and hear of her Queen, the less sure I am that she’s going to be worthwhile. Of course, the film hasn’t come out yet, and it’s unfair to judge completely, and it’s also worth stating that direction and writing are just as likely to blame as anything else…but regardless, any support I had for her there has faded away for the most part.

Thankfully, there’s more than an abundance of takes on the character to choose from beyond Gadot’s portrayal. “Snow White” is one of the most popular fairy-tales out there, and the Evil Queen is one of the most well-known and frequently adapted villains in the history of literature as a result. A while back I did a list of my Top 15 Favorite Portrayals of the Queen that have come around over the years. I thought it would be fun, with the newest film’s upcoming release, to look back on these other portrayals again, since it’s been a couple years and not everyone likely saw the older rankings. Maybe when the film comes out, Gadot will manage to make her mark among these malevolent monarchs…but I’m not holding my breath. In any case, with that in mind…here are My Top 15 Favorite Portrayals of the Evil Queen! Let’s see how many you all know. ;)

HONORABLE MENTIONS (Left to Right, Top to Bottom)

Judy Parfitt, from The Charmings.

This was a very weird attempt to turn the Snow White story into a 80s sitcom. Parfitt plays "Queen Lillian," who acts as the typical unpleasant mother-in-law figure that Snow White and her prince have to deal with. She also falls in love with Gomez Addams at one point. Bizarre.

Julia Roberts, from Mirror Mirror.

While I generally like this more comedic retelling of the Snow White story, I feel there's something somewhat lacking in Roberts' portrayal of Queen Clementianna, as the character is called here. I think it's an issue with the writing. Generally, though, I think there's still stuff to admire both about this character and this film.

Monica Belucci, from The Brothers Grimm.

This dark fantasy/horror film is kinda like a medieval Ghostbusters…sort of. XD Throughout it, the titular characters encounter creatures that will become figures in their famous fairy-tales in the future. Belucci plays the main villain of the story, “the Mirror Queen,” who is sort of a conflation of the Evil Queen and Rapunzel…leaning more heavily towards the former than the latter, obviously.

Patricia Medina, from Snow White and the Three Stooges.

This film has a major issue with tone, as the slapstick goofiness of the Three Stooges is sort of hamfistedly slammed against what is a more or less "serious" handling of the fairy-tale. It feels like the movie can't make up its mind what it wants to be. With that said, I like Medina's Queen, and elements of her portrayal have actually influenced me in some works of my own.

Eleanor Audley, from The Railroad Hour (1953).

Before she played Maleficent, but after she played Lady Tremaine, Audley voiced the Evil Queen in a radio version of Disney's Snow White. She does a fine job, as you'd expect. Interestingly, this was the second time this radio program attempted to adapt the Disney film; an earlier production featured Jeanette Nolan in the role. She's alright, but Audley is lightyears more interesting.

Tamsin Grieg, from Revolting Rhymes.

This two-part animated miniseries adaptation of the Roald Dahl book by the same name features a comical depiction of the Queen, who - before being crowned - goes by the name "Miss Maclahose." Unfortunately, this version disappears from the story pretty quickly and never actually receives any real comeuppance for her villainy.

CHOICES 15 - 11

15. Prince Raj, from Snow White With the Red Hair.

While this genderbent take on the Queen ranks at the bottom, do not misconstrue this to mean I dislike him, as he's quite possibly my favorite character in this anime. Raj is a vain and spoiled prince who starts off as a (somewhat comical) villain before eventually finding redemption and becoming a friend to Shirayuki, the Snow White character. In the Japanese original, he's voiced by Jun Fukuyama; in the English dub, he's played by Todd Haberkorn.

14. Queen Hedrian, from Denshi Sentai Denjiman AND Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan.

This take on the Evil Queen was the main villain of the former series in the Super Sentai franchise, and later became the secondary antagonist of the latter. She desires to destroy all things of beauty in the universe, so she can be the only beautiful thing left. The actress who played her, Machiko Soga, would later play the witch Bandora in “Zyuranger,” a.k.a. Rita Repulsa in Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers. 

13. Charlize Theron, from Snow White and the Huntsman.

This version is known by the name “Queen Ravenna.” While I’m not a huge fan of this movie (and haven’t even bothered to watch its sequel), I genuinely think Theron was a well-portrayed and excellently-cast take on the Evil Queen. She’s both one of the most empathetic and yet thoroughly despicable takes on the character on the whole countdown, which is saying a lot.

12. Majorina, from Smile! Pretty Cure (a.k.a. Brooha, from Glitter Force).

This fairy-tale themed “Magical Girl” series features the Queen as one of the main villains of the show. In the original Japanese version, she is called Majorina (literally meaning “witch queen”), while in the English dub - entitled Glitter Force - she’s called “Brooha” (a pun on the Spanish word for “witch”). In the former she is played by Tominaga Miina; in the latter, the vocal chops are handled by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn.

11. Vanessa Redgrave, from Faerie Tale Theatre.

One of the most over-the-top takes on the Queen out there, in the best possible way. Redgrave is delightfully hammy, but still has her moments of menace, and faces one of my favorite defeats of any version of the character out there. Also, her Magic Mirror is played by Vincent Price: instant kudos there.

CHOICES 10 - 6

10. Diana Rigg, from Snow White (1987).

This rather cheesy, low-budget children’s musical movie is ultimately saved almost single-handedly by Diana Rigg’s turn as the villain. To be honest, this is one of the most perfect casting choices for the role the world has ever seen. Like Redgrave, she’s very hammy and often strays towards the comical, but she has her threatening moments and a pretty awesome (if somewhat confusing) final bow from the picture.

9. Hitomi Yoshida, from Grimms Notes: The Animation.

I finally figured out who voices this version of the Queen! This take on the character appears in the anime adaptation of the now-defunct game “Grimms Notes.” This is quite possibly the single most tragic and sympathetic version of the character on the entire list, which is saying a lot. The only reason she isn’t higher is because I wish we had even more of her; she only shows up in one episode.

8. Dianne Wiest, from The 10th Kingdom.

Here named “Christine White,” this version of the character is actually the new Evil Queen, following in the footsteps of the original from the classic fairy-tale. She’s still out to defeat a young lady, still uses the old poison apple gimmick, and generally clearly bears all the hallmarks of the classic Queen we all know, however, so I still think she counts. Another somewhat sympathetic take on the character who rides a fine line between cruel tyrant and tragic villainess.

7. The Queen of Fables, from DC.

If you’ve only seen the version from the “Harley Quinn” animated series, to be blunt, you haven’t seen the REAL Queen of Fables. Read some of her comics, there’s some great stories there. In the DC Universe, this version of the Queen believes that Wonder Woman is, in fact, the reincarnation of her old nemesis, Snow White. Weird, but certainly fun.

6. Anne Francine & Charles Hall, from Snow White Live!

Long before Disney brought “Beauty and the Beast” to Broadway, their first big stage version of one of their animated films was this show at Radio City Music Hall. It’s gone by several titles, but I know it best as “Snow White Live!” Anne Francine played the Queen in her beautiful, radiant form, while actor Charles Hall played the Witch following her transformation. Both are awesome.

THE TOP FIVE

5. Miranda Richardson, from Snow White: Fairest of Them All.

While this TV film adaptation has some problems, Richardson’s Queen Elspeth is widely considered one of her best performances, and easily a shoe-in for my top five. This take starts off as a sympathetic character, but becomes increasingly more despicable and deranged as the story goes on, as her yearning for beauty and love drive her to the point of madness.

4. Vil Schoenheit, from Twisted Wonderland.

If you know me well, you should have known this one would be on the countdown. In this Disney-Villains-themed gacha game, taking place at a School of Dark Magic founded by seven famous baddies, Vil is the analogous character to the Evil Queen. He is a worldwide celebrity who, despite his fame and fortune, still struggles with issues of self-confidence, envy, and pride. In the game, the character is voiced by Hiroki Aiba.

3. Sigourney Weaver, from Snow White: A Tale of Terror.

This horror film version of the story boasts one of the most underrated and delightfully complex versions of the Queen out there. Weaver isn’t by any means obvious casting in the role, but she does a phenomenal job. Like Richardson, this take on the character - known as Lady Claudia - starts off as a sympathetic character, but becomes increasingly more villainous and demented as the story goes on.

2. Lana Parilla, from Once Upon a Time.

Here named “Regina Mills,” Parilla’s Queen was something of a breakout character for this series. I actually love her more today than I did when the show first came out. Regina starts off as a straightforward villain, but as the series goes, she evolves and changes, going from a sympathetic antagonist to an anti-hero and ultimately to being one of the good ones. Her arc and her performance throughout are spectacular.

1. The Disney Version.

Was there ever any doubt? Through various incarnations, the original Queen - first voiced by Lucille LaVerne - is by far one of Disney’s most iconic villains, and the chances are good this is the first take on the character most people think of when they think of the story. She’s not as complex or sympathetic as other versions, but she doesn’t need to be: she’s a great baddy in a truly classic feature film, and that’s all she really needs to be to take the top. ‘Nuff said.

An Uninvited Guest (Villains Lair) — PattyCake Productions music video

As the cadre of big bads reconvenes at the castle, revelations about the Evil Queen's failure to obtain the sundial lead to the unveiling of traitors in their midst. The apparent plot was doomed from the beginning, thanks to the plan beneath the plan. But when you're working with so many notorious villains, a little backstabbing should be expected, shouldn't it? Where will the conspiracy lead them next?

My favorite bits:

Maleficent's smug satisfaction at the Evil Queen's frustration

the revelations that the villains had banded together before in order to banish Ursula, and that Facilier had tricked them into releasing her

Gaston, Mother Goethel, and Cruella trying to slip out as the confrontation heats up (Methinks the fur-clad lady doth protest too much…)

Lady Tremaine implying that Scar is leading the guard patrol

icky Frollo creeping on Vanessa in his typical form

the shock of Lady Tremaine losing control of her emotions

Facilier and Ursula laying out their ultimatum

bringing the season full circle with that ominous reprise of "What Goes Around Comes Around"

Trivia:

Many of the wide shots for this episode were filmed the previous summer in order to include Ursula. The guys worked to accommodate Emoni's schedule, since she lives in Nashville and is often on the road in her career as a singer.

Because of the challenges of scheduling such a large cast, they called in several of their swing cast members to act as stand-ins for established characters in group shots. Most of the dialogue is framed in single medium shots with each of the principle actors who were filmed in a separate session.

Emoni and Rachel originally played Ursula and Vanessa two years earlier in "The Grande Mermaid". That project also had a protracted filming schedule due to circumstances beyond their control.

Robby is something of a method actor. Once he's in costume, he's in character and interacts with everyone accordingly. Layne's wife Cyndi brought their youngest daughter Doris to the studio for a visit so that their little Tinkerbell could meet Captain Hook.

At the time this episode was released, Tony and Layne already had scripts and songs in the works for the next season. They made sure to temper fans' expectations, though, since they didn't want to bring their cast and crew into the studio to film until it was safe for everyone.

With the completion of the season, PattyCake gathered all of the songs into an album on streaming services.
