Cinderella Ella Ella Ella Ella

I found this again while scrolling and...it hit me a little too hard

So that means it's time to trauma dump :]

Part of why I love Steph so much is because I relate to her a lot (not just personality wise). Back in elementary school/middle school, because of my ADHD I struggled a lot and I was seen as stupid by a lot of my peers. And I didn't grasp that it was just my ADHD so I believed that I really was an idiot. But thanks to some friends I met at my high school (who I love dearly and would gladly die for) I realized that I couldn't be more wrong.

So seeing Nerdy Prudes and Steph's character growth, and seeing her going through the same things I did, AND get a happy ending with Pete who loves her and sees past her self loathing and sees how smart she really is, helped cement that for me that I wasn't stupid and that I shouldn't give a shit if other people think I am, and I shouldn't give a shit how other people perceive me in general.

Full spoilers review of Cinderella’s castle

Ok so now that I’ve had some time to ruminate, I really want to share my thoughts on Cinderella’s castle

First of all, I think the song that has stuck with me the most was “I want you to watch” (I’m pretty sure that’s the name) I think it stuck with me so much because of the insane vibes. It was such a banger song, played to the chorus of Cinderella being tortured to death. The song was so haunting and insane. And just that one line “I want you to watch” has been stuck in my head all night.

That being said I wish we had access to the cast recording because I already miss the rest of the songs. Like I remember the song about starlight being so beautiful but I can’t even remember it (Cinderella moment amiright)

In terms of costuming it was the sort of thing that felt like it worked so well you didn’t notice it until suddenly Cinderella came out in her Led starlight dress and suddenly it hits you how amazingly accurate all of the clothing has been.

The actors were all amazing. Idk if there’s more to say than that. Everyone slayed, and Jeff was serving cvnt the entire time.

The characters were absolutely amazing. I feel like Nick lang looked at the moment from NPMD, where Richie says “I love being alive” and the audience started crying, and just made a whole play about it. There were so many immediately beloved characters that died (some brought back thank goodness) that the audience were sobbing about loosing.

Honestly I think the show is amazing. I can’t wait for the digital ticket and if I had more money I’d probably go see it again.

Oh also I saw Curt Mega before the show and all of my friends missed him except my mom. I was shaking so hard just from him walking past us. It was nuts

I had a lot of fun! Can’t wait to do it all again next time!

I’m sorry, I may just be a bit oblivious but I don’t actually get what you’re trying to imply here 😅 especially because in my mind these are two very different characters.

Mainly because from point one it’s obvious Jason doesn’t want to be doing the things he’s doing which contrasts with max who seems to revel in it and so has a much more stark difference between his terrible behavior and his redemption.

I think it should also be mentioned that (imo) Jason isn’t really a character who gets “redeemed”. (Hear me out!) From my understanding redemption is when you do something truly truly bad, make up for it, and learn to be a better person. Jason barely fulfills the truly bad thing by hanging with max and doing his bidding (but as I said above he doesn’t want to be doing any of it in the first place) but his “redemption” is a bit overshadowed by the fact that he tells Richie that if max ever came back he’d go right back to bullying. Now even though max’s redemption is also overshadowed by a return to his evil doings I think it’s really important to mention that Jason just randomly says he’d return to bullying if max ever came back. Whereas max has a more character reason to make his decent back into evil (mainly getting hurt, and pissing his pants. Which are both embarrassing things and we know he has a problem with his dad humiliating him)

In your tags you mentioned that you didn’t think screen time had to do with this, but I actually think it does. And the reason I think this is because of Kyle. Now idk about anyone else but I often don’t remember much about this character. (I had to look up his name just now.) and to me that’s because he hardly does anything in the show. So it would make sense to me if Jason, who is in the show less than max but more than Kyle, would get less attention from the fandom than max, but more than Kyle. And while I know that people love taking random background characters and making them the fandom favorite. I don’t actually think that Jason really fulfills what a typical fandom wants to see which is mainly toxic sad boys. (Which Jason is not imo. Other than the whole “we’re gonna return to bullying” he’s pretty healthy and happy)

I’m sure there are more in depth reasons but that’s the one that came up to me.

Sorry, not trying to be rude or anything. Just kinda hoping to start a conversation because I’m really curious about this topic! 😊

(edit: I looked back at your tags and saw that this is about race, which is totally fair. I’m not going to claim that isn’t what’s happening here since I haven’t really looked at the fandom from that point of view. Feel free to disregard this entire reblog 😝)

Jason Jepson is literally everything the fandom wants Max to be (kind of dumb, gets redeemed and turns out to be actually really sweet, cares a lot about his friends, makes up with the nerds he bullied, hell he even likes Grace). But yet the fandom still favours Max more. I wonder why that is! Hmmm, I wonder what the difference between these two could be!

Ella and Tadius from Cinderella's Castle give very similar energy to Curt and Tatiana from Spies Are Forever. Both not interested in each other romantically but are absolutely best friends and probably kiss each other on the cheek when they meet up and everyone sorta thinks they're together and they never deny it but they know they're not together and never will be

Open your eyes, daughter of fire.
