Inspired by today's Secret #1. Movie, show, book, stage play, whatever.

Cinderfella.

Ever After for film

Into the Woods for theater

The 10th Kingdom for television

Ella Enchanted for book

The Paris Opera ballet for Cinderella was nice.

Ever After is my absolute favorite, but the most recent live action Disney one is a close second favorite.

...You know it's only just now occurred to me that I may have only ever seen the Disney version, and only once or twice when I was a kid. I feel like I must have seen some other variations or at least send-ups, but I can't think of a single one.

The classic 1950 Disney version is my favorite version.

It was my favorite Disney movie as a kid, one of the first movies I ever remember watching. Even as an adult the good parts of the movie are really good that I can overlook the subplots that don't interest me much. The animation is stunning, I love the feel of capturing love when Cinderella meets the Prince. It's so short but everything is done so well and fine tuned to fill my romantic heart with everything I want love about that instant magical moment of falling in love in a fairy tale.
Also, Cinderella's dress transformation in this film is the iconic Cinderella moment that no other adaptation has been able to compare to. Probably my favorite animation of all time! Cinderella's ballgown and whole look in this version is my favorite version (though there are so many stunning versions!!! but again, I can't get over the classic).

My favorite book based on the Cinderella tale is "Bound" by Donna Jo Napoli. I love the way the author set the tale in ancient China. The story was simple but effective with the world building and stayed true to the spirit and lesson of our modern relationship with the tale.

Honestly, I haven't seen/watched/read one I didn't like.

So this is weird, but my favorite might be A Cinderella Story: Once Upon a Song. Might be the music fan in me, even though the songs are kind of cheesy BUT I DON'T CARE.

Hiei from Yu Yu Hakusho

Vegeta from DBZ

Merry & Pippin from the LotR (although Sam wins at being the most Ride or Die mf there ever was and his love for his best friend was so true)

People mentioned Kenshin Himura

Levi Ackerman from AoT

Movie: The Slipper and the Rose

Book: Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine

Disney cartoon, the Disney cartoon sequels (they and Aladdin are the only good sequels I will defend them all day) Ella Enchanted (book's great, movie's ok), the version with Brandy, I could have sworn Vivian Vande Velde had a version but now I can't find it.

Weirdly enough I LOVE Ever After but it's in my brain as [Costumed Period RomCom] not [Fairy Tale].

Inspired by today's Secret #6. Let us celebrate the pocket, pint, and fun-sized today. You must (not) be this tall to ride this ride.

If it counts --- Critical Role has given me Kima, Keg, Yeza, Dariax and Orym as all short queens and kings I would not mind if were real

Samwise Gamgee. Then Bilbo, then Gimli, then Merry, then Frodo, then Pippin.

Gimli.

Wolverine was my favorite Marvel character for years not only because he kicks butt and is just all around badass, but he does it while being the same height as me. (And I'm short for a female.)

This also helped me be even more fond of Kenshin (the character... I know there are issues with the mangaka) than I already would have been.

Anyone have some good online distractions or cute things to look at?? Spent 3.5 hours in the dentist chair today, and even with the painkiller he prescribed, I'm still really miserable.

... but you wouldn't mind if someone else made them for you! As always, including the fandom and full character names is a big help, and I'll try my best to use an appropriate image choice. Just to clarify - it's my intention to make all the secrets left in this thread, so even if they're not marked claimed, they will be made.

I'll monitor this thread until tomorrow's secret post goes up, so feel free to leave your comments until then!

Yours truly,

a secret maker
