Elphaba Deserved Better 💚 And Glinda Can Choke 💅A Wicked Review🧹

Hey there and welcome back. Today, we’re diving broom first into one of my favorite musicals: Wicked! It just dropped on HBO Max. So if you haven’t seen it, pause this video, go watch it and then come back. Ready? Okay. Let's get into it! 

It opens on Glinda, with sparkles, poise, and a whole lot of denial as she tries not to cry in front of an entire town but the guilt is seeping though. Her best friend is gone, and no amount of pretending can cover up that fact that she knows she played a part in it. Cue flashback! And surprise surprise, Elphaba wasn’t born mean, she was just born green. Thanks to her mom drinking some mysterious neon Mountain Dew while pregnant. That was not a prenatal vitamin!

Poor girl, from birth, Elphaba is treated like a glitch in the system. Her mom’s fault, her dad's fault, society’s fault. Everyone's passing the blame like she's a hot potato, and no one’s actually listening to her. Especially not her dad, who couldn’t take her side if it came with GPS directions. It’s wild to me how easily people can accept the idea that someone must be dangerous if they are different. In my opinion everyone, no matter their skin color,  beliefs, sexual orientation or whatever should be treated with kindness. No one deserves to be treated poorly for things outside of their control.

Then there’s Galinda, Miss shiny and perfect, who immediately insults Elphaba’s skin tone in front of the entire school. Nothing says “I’m secretly awful” like being casually racist during orientation but sure tell me how you think she's a great character. 

And then let’s talk about her sister Nessarose, she just wanted to go to school, have a life, maybe flirt a little, normal stuff and Elphaba, apparently being the only one with empathy, tries to protect her. Even though, let’s be real, Madame Morrible straight up claims Elphaba’s magic as her own but uses it to let Elphaba into the school. So ya win some, you lose some. 

Oh and Glinda throwing a tantrum because, for once in her perfectly privileged life, she didn’t get what she wanted? 10/10. Would watch again.

Madame Morrible gives Elphaba a very cryptic warning saying “you’re gonna do great things if you stay useful”, and Elphaba takes that as a genuine compliment. Sweetie, no. That’s corporate speak for “we’re gonna exploit you.”

Then cut to their dorm room, where Galinda pulls a full on Regina George, she demands most of the room and wants Elphaba to put in a good word for her with Madame Morrible, and begs for the secret to her powers like it’s some kind of skincare routine. 

Then we see their first real fight and the differences between them become as clear as Crystal Pepsi. Elphaba is an authentic, intelligent, principled queen while Galinda, well, she's a living, breathing Instagram filter with the emotional depth of a puddle. Sorry for all the puddles out there!

They show up to class and Dr. Dillamond enters. He accidently mispronounces Galinda’s name, and Elphaba stands up for him. Galinda’s comeback? Name calling. I would've thrown her out the stained glass window, who's with me? 

Dr. Dillamond explains how animal professors are being erased from history because people needed a scapegoat. Hmm that sounds familiar, and he drops the best line in the whole show:

“We cannot escape the past. We ignore it at our own peril.”

Say it louder for the people sitting in the back! Then, boom, graffiti. “Animals should be seen and not heard.” I saw red. That chalkboard might as well have been a billboard for bigotry but while the others laughed or looked away, Elphaba stayed to help him and gained her first true friend. And honestly? I cried.

Later, she’s in magic class and she struggles until her need for justice kicks in and boom! Coin levitates her power is rooted in passion and I love to see it. 

Then she follows Dr. Dillamond and overhears a conspiracy plot, and gets a vision of him in a cage. This is quickly turning into an Ozspiracy.

And of course, while walking back, some himbo on a horse crashes into her. Meet Prince Fiyero. He immediately flirts and Elphaba tells him to “get fluffed.” Honestly? Iconic. 

Naturally, Galinda sees this Prince and goes full pick me mode. Her flirting is so cringey it caused secondhand embarrassment in three time zones. But in the library, Fiyero sees Elphaba and she’s the only one not instantly swooning.

So Fiyero sings about how school is dumb and useless and everyone claps except Elphaba. This is basically when politicians cut school funding and their base cheers. Education matters and Elphaba knows.

Later Galinda plays the ultimate mean girl and rejects Boq and sets him up with Nessarose like she’s gifting a pity date. Then sings a duet with Fiyero about how perfect they are. I admit I gagged, a little in my mouth.

Then Galinda gives Elphaba a gift of a supposedly hideous hat, claiming it’s out of kindness. Spoiler, it's not. Elphaba wears it anyway and gets mocked at the dance by everyone and no one stands up for her. Not Galinda, not even her own sister Nessarose. This girl can't catch a break!  But, character development alert, Galinda, after some time passes finally joins her. One small dance step from Galinda, one giant leap for empathy. Finally!

Galinda shares a secret with Elphaba and demands a secret in return because even friendship is transactional with her and Elphaba confesses that the only keepsake she has from her mom is the green bottle. Galinda, not getting the vibe, immediately turns pouty because her secret was about a boy. Priorities, huh?

Then we hit the Popular montage where Galinda gives Elphaba a makeover with zero qualifications and a wand she got from vibes alone. 

Cut to Dr. Dillamond being escorted out of the classroom by Oz’s very own version of ICE agents. Elphaba tries to stop them and gets told to sit down. She sits for about approximately 5 seconds.

But then comes the lion cub scene, truly heartbreaking. The new professor hits it with a stick to prove cages are good for it. Elphaba’s like, “If it’s so good, why’s it trembling?” She uses magic to knock everyone out and helps Fiyero rescue the cub.

Madame Morrible sees the naptime aftermath and, noticing she still has her supply of sleepytime tea, immediately tattles to the Wizard. Meanwhile, Elphaba tells Fiyero she wishes she could be shallow like him, but she actually cares. Ugh, I love her.

Then fast forward to Elphaba getting summoned to the Emerald City but Galinda makes the whole event about herself and her “rebranding” from Galinda to Glinda. No, just no. But Elphaba being the kind person she is knowing Glinda would love to go to meet the Wizard takes her with her. 

But when the Wizard shows up and calls Glinda “Belinda.” I wheezed. Then he shows off a creepy doll he had made of Elphaba and gives her the Grimmerie. She reads it, no problem and accidentally gives a bunch of monkeys wings. Whoops, but it was all a trap. The Wizard wanted her to build a spy army. He’s a fraud. He can't even read the book. And worst of all? Glinda takes his side because of course she does. 

Elphaba says no to their offers to help them, grabs the Grimmerie, and flees. She and Glinda argue. Glinda tries to get her to come back and talk it out, Elphaba says she won’t compromise her values for a seat at the table. 

Then Madame Morrible spins a whole “she’s evil” narrative over the intercom and calls her a wicked witch because questioning corruption is apparently evil now.

Elphaba, not scared, just angry, invites Glinda to flee with her. Glinda, having seen everything Elphaba saw, chose to pander to the Wizard instead. Ew.

The guards attack, the flying monkeys attack but Elphaba, she escapes. And honestly? I’m cheering. I can’t wait for part two but unless Glinda has a serious redemption arc, I’m keeping her in the “nope” category. I love this story because it reflects something I believe deeply, kindness matters, even more in a system that’s built to overlook and punish it. But whether you’re a green girl, a glitch in the code, or just someone trying to stay kind in a corrupt world know that, that's magic and well what do you think?

Paloma Pulled Up on a Motorcycle🏍️and I Wasn’t Ready 💅Doll Unboxing🔥

Alright, buckle up, literally, because today we’re unboxing the coolest duo since peanut butter and jelly, but with way more horsepower. Yes, it’s the fabulous Paloma doll and her motorcycle! She’s got style, she’s got attitude, and apparently, she’s got a need for speed that Barbie can only dream of. We’re talking leather jacket energy, wind in her hair vibes, and the kind of confidence that makes you say, ‘Yep, she’s the main character.’ Let’s crack this box open and see what kind of trouble or um, adventures we can get into together.

Superman Review: Superman Was Cool… But Krypto Stole the Show 🐶🔥

Hello and welcome back! We just saw the new James Gunn Superman movie and you guys, I have thoughts! I also might have popcorn butter in my hair but I can deal with that later.

Let’s start with the big picture. This movie was fantastic, it was definitely not what I was expecting but in the best way possible. It’s like ordering a basic burger and getting a gourmet steak served by Krypto. So yes please! 

Listen, I loved seeing all the superhero characters sprinkled in but I wish we’d gotten a little more screen time with Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl, Metamorpho, and Mr. Terrific. Can we please get a little more of Guy Gardner being aggressively opinionated next time? Please? And don't get me started on Hawkgirl, it's not a want, it's a need. 

But I get it, they’re building a universe here, like a really intense jigsaw puzzle. The pieces are all there, we just haven’t assembled the whole thing yet. But the manual says “movies and series coming soon,” so I’m patientish.

Then we have to talk about the part that made me want to claw through the screen and pull out the plug. Eve oh my gosh, I don't know who gave her a mic and screen time but I’d like to speak to the manager. She was like a human mosquito loud, persistent, and banging repetitively into the screen, every time she popped up, I swear I heard a faint buzzing in my ear!

But on the plus side we had the cutest cgi dog to grace our screen since the live action Scooby doo movie, Krypto. I said what I said. Just a cute, sweet, and slightly destructive superpowered pupper. Every single scene with him had me laughing and smiling from ear to ear. He reminded me so much of our dog Max, except Max can’t fly or shoot lasers from his eyes… yet. We’re working on it. 

Now I wanna know,  did you see the movie? Did you love it? Hate it? Let me know in the comments below! I love reading what you guys think, unless you like Eve, in which case, we need to talk. And while you’re hanging out down there don’t forget to leave a like, hit that subscribe button, smash the notification bell like Krypto smashes Mr. Fantastics tech and most importantly, go on over and subscribe to my amazing husband’s channel, Cosas Para Tener!

Chaos, Daddy Issues, and a Fork: The Little Mermaid Was Unhinged 🧜‍♀️

 Hello and welcome back! So, if you’re still out here saying The Little Mermaid is just “Ariel gave up her voice for a man,” then you clearly haven’t watched it in a while. She gave up her voice to explore a world she was obsessed with. Eric, was just a bonus. Ariel was always gonna go to the surface, he just sped up the timeline.

Ariel was one of my favorite Disney princesses growing up. I even had the Mattel doll with the pearl necklace and everything. So, I figured, why not rewatch it and do a nostalgic review? So with that being said lets dive into this. 

We don’t even meet Ariel until six minutes in, and she’s already out there adventuring with Flounder, who by the way is an anxious icon. He’s a scaredy fish with a heart of gold and I love him for it. Ariel, meanwhile, is out here treating the ocean like her personal playground, just like I used to, I mean I definitely snuck into places I shouldn’t have been. Anyone else?

When she finds that fork? She has no idea what it is, but she’s thrilled. Pure golden retriever energy. Then a shark shows up, and Ariel, instead of fleeing like Flounder, goes back for her bag. Girl. Ma’am. That's a shark, not a unicorn. 

Poor Flounder gets stomped on by Scuttle, who might be the world’s worst anthropologist. He confidently explains that the fork is a “dinglehopper,” and Ariel just eats it up. Then she realizes she missed the big concert which is unfortunately relatable. I’ve missed things many times because I got distracted by a cool rock.

Ursula enters, giving fabulous sea witch energy. Then we flash to King Triton throwing a tantrum and giving the classic line “as long as you live under my ocean, you'll live by my rules”. That line always drove me nuts as a kid. Like, mister, king, sir, try “communication” next time.

Sebastian gets voluntold to babysit Ariel, but shes already distracted by a passing ship. Enter Prince Eric, and his adorable dog Max. Ariel’s like, ‘Who’s this?, and I get it. He’s charming, dog loving, and not afraid to risk his life for Max during a literal explosion. That's definitely boyfriend material.

Eric ends up getting thrown overboard and knocked unconscious and Ariel saves him, sings to him, then vanishes like a siren ninja. And boom, Ursula’s got her next victim. Ariel’s all puppydog eyed and Sebastian’s having a panic attack, and Triton is oblivious until Andrina spells it out for him.

Then Sebastian sings Under the Sea in a desperate attempt to distract her. Cute, but Ariel’s like, “I want human stuff, not a concert.” Flounder tries to cheer her up with a statue of Eric, but Triton shows up and smashes everything in a fit of overprotective rage. That’s exactly how you drive a girl or mermaid straight into a villain’s tentacles.

Then enters Flotsam and Jetsam, Disney’s creepiest eels, offering Ariel the deal of a lifetime. She says no... until they kick the face of the statue to her and that was somehow highly effective. She signs the contract with Ursula, loses her voice, and poof, legs!

Thankfully, Flounder and Sebastian were able haul her to shore, where Eric immediately feels like shes familiar somehow and Max is obviously obsessed with her too, so that’s a win. And of course Scuttle shows up, completely unaware Ariel has legs. I swear he lives in a completely different movie.

Ariel gets taken back to the castle and gets the royal treatment, which is where she slips into that iconic pink dress and hilariously tries to brush her hair with a fork. Meanwhile, Sebastian is living a Tom & Jerry nightmare in the kitchen.

Then comes the boat scene. Kiss the Girl starts playing, and Ariel’s so down. Yeah, she couldn’t talk, but she was absolutely leaning in. Ariel was anything but subtle but before their lips can meet, BOOM, eel attack! 

Ursula takes things to a whole new level by transforming herself into a stunning brunette named Vanessa, using her magic to bewitch Prince Eric into marrying her. Ariel is heartbroken. Luckily, Scuttle puts the pieces together and calls in a ragtag team of animal sidekicks for an all-out brawl that feels straight out of Avengers: Infinity War. Mayhem erupts—Max even bites Ursula, what a good boy!. Ariel’s voice escapes from the enchanted necklace, snapping Eric out of his trance. Then just as the two are about to seal their love with a kiss, Ariel turns back into a mermaid and Ursula drags her away. They were seconds too late.

Then the climax goes full-on Pirates of the Caribbean. Triton sacrifices himself to save Ariel, Ursula goes full kaiju. We’ve got whirlpools, lightning, giant tentacles And then as if thats not enough Eric literally impales Ursula with a ship. This is a kid's movie, I repeat, this is a kid’s movie. Modern disney could never. 

In the end, Triton sees how much Ariel loves Eric and turns her human for good. It’s a beautiful act of love and growth and a rare case of a Disney dad finally learning how to chill and not like ‘chill in a coffin’—actual emotional growth.

In the end they get their happily ever after, complete with sparkles, sea-side romance, and wedding cake.

Tiana Built an Empire 👑 My Favorite Modern Disney Princess!🐸

 Hi there and welcome back! Tiana from Princess and the Frog is definitely my favorite amongst the New Age Disney princesses. She didn’t just sit around waiting for things to happen! She jumped right into action. She had a plan, clear goals, and the hustle to match. While others were busy chatting with animals in the forest, Tiana was grinding hard, pinching pennies, and working toward opening her and her fathers dream restaurant. And lets be honest here she could’ve easily asked her wealthy friend Lottie for a loan but no, Tiana said, “Thanks, but I’m doing this the real way: with hard work, determination, and probably way too much gumbo.

And then just when things start looking like they're going to work out... bam! Frog. Boom. Amphibian. One second she’s chasing her dream, next second she’s dodging flies and hopping around with a dude that has the work ethic of a couch potato. I mean, I’d be mad too!

But what I love about Tiana is her no-nonsense attitude. She’s driven, focused, and a literal queen of the hustle. However she’s also a little too serious sometimes. Like, girl, it’s okay to enjoy the ride! Then there's Naveen, our charming but lazy prince, who helps her relax but honestly, his job before this movie was just chilling, and in return she helps him realize that being “rich and useless” isn’t actually a personality.

And don’t get me started on the Shadow Man. When he popped up offering Tiana everything she ever wanted, I was holding my breath like I just realized I forgot to hit “save” on a big editing project but Tiana didn’t fall for that black magic, unlike someone else we know.. *cough cough* Ariel. Tiana realized that all the success in the world meant nothing if she couldn’t share it with the one person who made her heart leap... or ribbit. Too soon? In the end, she got it all:  love, her restaurant, and yeah probably some killer Yelp reviews.

I Watched Hazbin Hotel So Many Times My TV Filed a Complaint: Hazbin Hotel Review

 Hello there and welcome back! This video has been a long time in the making but today we’re finally going to be jumping into my latest obsession: Hazbin Hotel. I’ve watched it so many times, I think my TV is starting to judge me. So grab your favorite snack and lets get into this. 

First off, the flashbacks? Amazing. That black, white, and red color palette. Gorgeous. It gave me instant Batman: The Animated Series vibes.

However, I wonder what happened to the rest of the angels in the intro? Did they call in sick? Also, Emily wasn’t even in the opening. Did she spawn in like an NPC mid-game? They explained Lilith and Lucifer, but Eve? She got the cameo and dropped instantly out of frame. Hopefully we will see more of her in season 2. 

Its great how Charlie gently critiques Alastor’s terrible commercial like, “Oh sweetie, maybe we don’t traumatize the viewers?” Meanwhile, Vaggie’s like, “This is trash, set it on fire. ” Their dynamic is hilarious.

Okay, so confession time. At first, I did not like Vaggie. She was judgier than Simon Cowell on America's Got Talent but by the end, she softened up and actually grew on me.

And Alastor? That man hates TV more than I hate lima beans. But Charlie ropes him into making a commercial, so he makes it awful on purpose. That is peak petty, and honestly? Respect. He redeems himself later with a way better ad. On the condition he never has to see a TV studio again. Boundaries! Some fans say he was selfish. I say he was “creatively petty but supportive,”.

Charlie’s reaction when her dad calls? Adorable. Vaggie’s reflex was “PANIC,” but the second she realized Charlie was just happy, she was like, “Oh good it’s not a Angel attack.” It reminded me of my husband, Erik and I. He’s chill. I’m basically Charlie doing pirouettes in traffic.

Also, I loved that van that says “Helluva Post”? I see what you did there, Vivziepop. Little nod to Helluva Boss! If you guys want a review of that too, tell me in the comments! I’m always down to ramble more.

In episode 2, Vaggie comforts Charlie during her freakout? Perfect. We all want someone to grab us mid-meltdown and go, “It’s fine. I got you.” Also, Sir Pentious. I LOVE him. Is he a dramatic Victorian snake-boy? Yes. Do I relate to his desperate need for validation? Also yes. I wish they showed him building his steampunk gadgets! I wanna see that DIY montage!

Then when Vox, Velvet, and Valentino show up, it’s chaos. Vox is smooth until someone says “Alastor,” and then he glitches harder than my Wi-Fi during a rain storm. My fave Vee is Vox, his sass is premium. The way he throws shade at Valentino? Legendary. Who is your favorite Vee? Let me know in the comments!

In “Stayed Gone,” Alastor casually roasts Vox while staying cool as a corpse cucumber and Velvet’s little smirk? I see you, girl. Also, Vox’s pet sharks? Not to be dramatic or anything but I would die for them. They're so cute. And Nifty cuddling with Keekee? Adorable. 

Later, Vaggie bans Sir Pentious from keeping his egg bois and making weapons, and I’m just sitting there like, “Why are we punishing the only guy with a cool airship and minions shaped like breakfast?” The Egg Bois are precious. I need egg boi merch. 

Then there's that weird Zestial and Alastor interaction. Zestial’s like, “Tell me your secrets,” and Alastor’s like, “Nah, I prefer mystery and jazz.” Ancient beings playing 4D chess but forgetting one of them doesn’t fold to pressure? Seems odd to me but oh well. What do you think? 

Then there's Camilla Carmine? MVP. She claps back at Alastor with zero hesitation. Iconic. And when Zestial and Camilla sing, it's one of the best songs. I also loved that during the trust exercise Husk just nopes out the back? Hilarious. 

Then we hop into episode 4 which dives into Angel and Valentino’s toxic mess. Husk calls out Angel for being fake, but before Angel can reply Val calls and Angel’s personality does a full 180. Can we say Trauma! Charlie tries to help but she’s too sweet to be firm. And Val kissing her arm to drug her? Nope. Big yikes. Luckily it doesn’t work, because Charlie is basically sugar-coated steel.

And that fight between Husk and Angel? Oof. Messy but heartfelt. I love “Loser Baby”, its such a great song, definitely one of my favorites! What is your favorite song in the show? Also Husk flinging cards like Gambit from X-Men? I cheered. Exploding dice? Yes, please.

The music battle between Lucifer and Alastor was amazing and I hate to say it but Alastor won. However, I liked the addition of Lucifer's gold violin, it was a nice reference to The Devil Went Down to Georgia from The Charlie Daniels Band. 

Then Mimzy’s story about old-school Alastor? I need the prequel! The Husk and Alastor argument hit hard, Oh boy Alastor really shows his true colors there doesn't he. Husk was just looking out for him and Alastor took it as questioning him. Then when Charlie tells Lucifer that “At least he believes in me”? I felt that in my bones.

Then Charlie visiting Heaven? Shocking.  I was kinda amazed that charlie was even able to go to heaven but she managed it despite her dads concerns. And St. Peter singing at the pearly gates? I'm imagining he does that for everyone. And of course Adam and Lute try to stir the pot like when don't they but we’re keeping this spoiler-light. Also, Angel acting like Nifty’s big brother was sweet. And Nifty’s “touch him and I’ll end you” look at Valentino? I love her.

I don’t want to spoil much about the last episodes, but I’ll say this, Rosie? Delightful. A breath of classy fresh air in a city that smells like brimstone and trauma. I hope we see way more of her.

Belle Didn’t Have Stockholm Syndrome She Had Standards✨Why Belle is my favorite Renaissance Era princess✨

 Hey there and welcome back! Okay, I have to admit as a kid, I was obsessed with Belle from Beauty and the Beast. I mean, a smart, independent bookworm who basically walks around a small town full of red flags and says “Nah, I’ll be over here with my fantasy novel”? Iconic. 

Now, I know there are people out there who say Belle has Stockholm syndrome… but honestly? I don’t buy it. Not for a second. Belle isn’t brainwashed. She’s brave, clever, and makes her own decisions from the very start.

We see it right away. She’s obsessed with books, even when the whole town treats her like she’s strange just because she enjoys a good book. I mean heaven forbid a woman have interests! And then Gaston, Mr. “I Benchpress Moose for Fun,” tries to get her attention by literally throwing her book in the mud. Like no you are not the plot twist she’s looking for.

And when Gaston and LeFou start mocking her dad? Belle shuts it down fast. She’s loyal, she’s protective, and the moment she hears something go boom in her dad’s workshop, she runs to check on him without hesitation.

Then we see her quick thinking when Gaston attempts to propose. Belle handles it like a pro, basically gives him the “Thanks but no thanks, and also please go away forever” treatment. But then things take a turn when Phillipe shows up alone, no Dad in sight, and she doesn’t even blink. She gets straight on that horse, and goes right into the spooky woods. Our girl is ready.

And then as if that's not enough she sacrifices her own freedom to save her father. Voluntarily trades places with him. That’s superhero-level selflessness.

Then later, after a fight with the Beast, Belle runs away and gets ambushed by wolves and the Beast comes to save her. He gets hurt, and instead of ditching him and running back to her father, Belle helps him back to the castle, treats his wounds, and stays to help. That’s kindness, not captivity.

Then, when Belle sees that her father’s in trouble again, she doesn’t wait around for permission even though the Beast does let her go. Though let’s be honest, she probably would’ve left with or without a hall pass.

And when Gaston’s stirring up a mob, because apparently nobody in that town has critical thinking skills, Belle tries everything to protect the Beast and stop the madness. She's not just defending him, she’s standing up for what's right.

In the end, Belle isn’t some damsel in distress. She rescues her father, saves the Beast, and ultimately finds love but only after the Beast learns, grows, changes, and becomes someone truly worth loving. Not because she’s trapped but because she chose to.

So, what do you think? Who’s your favorite Disney princess from the Renaissance era? Let me know in the comments! I wanna hear your thoughts!

The Swan Princess Review Iconic Nostalgic Awkward and Weirdly Magical ✨

 

Hello and welcome back! Like most kids in the '90s, I was obsessed with The Swan Princess. I mean, how could you not be? Odette is a strong female character, the music is great , and the animation… well, let’s just say it has that “VHS-on-a-Saturday-morning” charm. Sure, some frames look like the animators sneezed mid-drawing, but hey, that’s part of the nostalgia.

Now let’s talk about Prince Derek. At first, this guy comes off like he was raised by a pack of frat bros. “What else is there?” Really, Derek? I almost died of second-hand embarrassment. Like, sir, you’re talking to a princess, not ordering a pizza. But credit where it’s due, when Odette’s in trouble, he doesn’t hesitate. He hops on his horse faster than you can say “redemption arc” and even trains to fight the beast who took her. So yeah, he trips over his own tongue, but at least he shows up when it counts. Growth!

Now let's talk about the true stars: the animal sidekicks. First up, Puffin—adorable, brave, and tragically shot out of the sky like a tiny feathery war hero. Odette, being the literal queen she is, pulls out the arrow and nurses him back to health. 10/10 would trust her in a crisis.

Then there's Jean-Bob, the frog who thinks he’s a prince. He’s got a French accent so thick he probably dreams in baguettes. He spends the movie trying to kiss Odette, but she’s like, “Sorry, I’m saving my lips for Derek.” Jean-Bob takes it like a champ. Growth!

And we can’t forget Speed, the turtle who moves like molasses but has the heart of a race car. His name is Lorenzo Trudgealong and yes, that is both hilarious and majestic. Let me know in the comments whos your favorite animal sidekick!

Then there's our villain, Rothbart. This guy is basically a magical incel with serious “basement dweller” energy. He kidnaps Odette, demands her hand in marriage like it's a DoorDash order, and basically lives with his mom. Honestly, if he weren’t so evil, I’d feel bad for him. But nah. He’s a menace.

Then we get to the “Odette clone” fiasco. Bridget shows up glamoured to look like Odette, and Derek, our prince with the emotional IQ of a loaf of bread, is like, “Yes, that’s definitely my swan girl.” Even though, HELLO, the dress is totally different. Like, when did the evil lair install a Target? Derek doesn’t even question it. He just starts declaring his love despite feeling like theres something off about Odette. Like please, make sure the girl your declaring your undying love for is the right one! 

Then after that Rothbart pops in to gloat like a Disney villain who’s read too many Tumblr posts, and because Derek made his big “I love you” speech to the wrong woman, the real Odette starts fading faster than my New Year’s resolutions. Derek realizing he messed up books it back to her, and cradles her like the dramatic prince he finally grew into.

Then we get the final boss fight! Rothbart turns into a giant bat creature, because why not? And things are looking rough until Jean-Bob and Speed come through like the Avengers with Derek’s bow. MVPs, honestly. Derek defeats Rothbart, and just when it seems like it’s too late… in a rare act of emotional competence, Derek tells Odette he loves her not for her looks, but for her kindness and courage. Boom, true love magic! She revives. They get married, Odette rocks the prettiest wedding dress ever! Seriously, she looks like an angel and of course the kingdom is saved.

Disney's Cinderella Healing Trauma with Kindness and Sparkles✨Why Cinderella is the most underrated classic era disney princess

 

Hello and welcome back! I am so tired of the Cinderella slander. You know, the whole “she just waited around

for a man to save her and married a prince” narrative? Like… no. The people who say this are either a few

crayons short of a full package or have memory loss worse than Dory from Finding Nemo.

Let’s be real if you haven’t watched this movie in a while, you’re probably forgetting just how much trauma

Cinderella went through. From the very start, it’s clear that Lady Tremaine was a raging narcissist. She didn’t

just pit her daughters against each other; she made Cinderella's life harder simply because she could.

Now put yourself in Cinderella’s shoes. Actually, don’t. They’re glass. You’ll get blisters.

But seriously her mother’s already passed away, then her dad dies too, and the next thing she knows,

she’s in a reality show called “So You Think You Can Suffer?”

But despite all that, Cinderella is kind, caring, and somehow not completely feral. 

Less than 10 minutes into the movie, Jaq tells her that a new mouse is caught in a trap. What does she do?

Does she say, “Ugh, not my problem”? No. She instantly rushes to help him, gives him a name Gus, gives him

clothes, and basically welcomes him into the family like he’s her long-lost rodent cousin. Honestly, the girl’s got

more compassion than a therapy dog convention.

And let’s talk about Lucifer, the original grumpy cat. Even though Cinderella clearly doesn’t like him because

he’s basically hunting her mouse friends like it’s an episode of Tom & Jerry, she still tells Bruno to try and get

along with him.

Then when the royal invitation to the ball arrives, Lady Tremaine pulls the classic “Oh sure, you can go…

if you finish all your chores and have something suitable to wear.” Translation: “You’re not going.”

She knew what she was doing. She piled on extra chores knowing full well Cinderella didn’t have time to stitch up

anything wearable. Honestly, Tremaine’s just lucky Cinderella wasn’t into petty revenge, because I would’ve

glitter-bombed her mail.

But plot twist: the mice and birds show up and repay Cinderella's kindness by making her a dress out of scraps,

ribbons, and love. And it is gorgeous. Seriously, Project Mouseway nailed it.

Then Cinderella shows up in her gorgeous pink dress, ready to go. She’s not even doing anything wrong just trying

to join the family and maybe dance with someone who isn’t emotionally unstable. And what happens? Anastasia

and Drizella rip her dress apart with the coaxing of Lady Tremaine.

And the fear in her eyes? That wasn’t just sadness. That was the look of someone who’s been gaslit, manipulated,

and broken down for years. That moment hurt more than stepping on a LEGO barefoot. Poor Cinderella broke and

in that moment with her last ounce of hope her fairy godmother appears like the magical grandma we all wish we

had, she waves her wand, and Cinderella finally gets her night of freedom. A new dress, glass slippers, pumpkin

Uber, she’s ready.

And the best part? She doesn’t even realize she’s dancing with the Prince. She’s not scheming. She’s not plotting.

She’s just genuinely chilling. Probably thinking, “Wow, this guy hasn’t insulted me or called me a servant!”

The next day, she’s just doing her thing serving breakfast, minding her business when Lady Tremaine mentions

that the Prince is looking for the girl from the ball. And Cinderella? She doesn’t faint. She doesn’t immediately run

out screaming “IT’S MEEEEE!” No. She’s humble. She listens. She holds onto hope.

So no, she didn’t wait for a prince to save her. Cinderella was a girl who endured unthinkable hardship, stayed kind,

and just wanted one night where she didn’t feel like the household punching bag. And through that kindness, hope,

and resilience, she found a better life.

It’s a beautiful story of survival, self-worth, and a reminder that sometimes, the most powerful thing you can be is

kind.

So if you haven’t lately, go watch Cinderella. It’s on Disney+. And if you’re still not convinced just remember that

her fairy godmother gave her a ball gown, but she earned her happy ending.

And on’t forget to leave a like, subscribe, and hit that bell to get notifications. And tell me which of Cinderella’s

dresses do you like more? The pink one or the silvery blue one? I personally love the pink one, handmade with

love and a dash of mousey friendship, but let me know down in the comments what you think.

Lets Play Dungeon Crawler Torchlight Part 19

 

Hey there, adventurers! Welcome back to part 19 of my Torchlight playthrough, aka the series where I repeatedly wander into dark dungeons, pick up way too much loot, and pretend I know what I’m doing. Torchlight is still one of my all-time favorite dungeon crawlers. It’s got everything: epic loot, endless dungeons, and the constant reminder that I have zero self-control when it comes to inventory management. Seriously, why do I always carry 47 swords instead of one good one?

In this episode, we’re going even deeper underground, because clearly, my hero has no sense of self preservation. Expect more monsters, more explosions, and probably me yelling “NOOOO!” when I forget to heal at the worst possible time. 

Oh, and my pet will continue to be the real MVP, hauling my junk back to town while I pretend it was totally part of my strategy.

So grab your potions, sharpen your weapons, and mentally prepare for some dungeon chaos. This is part 19, at this point I’m either becoming a legend or just really good at respawning.

Lets Play Gourdlets a Cute Cozy Game from AuntyGames

Hi friends! So today we’re diving into Gourdlets, a cozy city builder game from the delightful folks at AuntyGames and let me tell you… I think I might need an intervention, because I'm absolutely addicted, send help or snacks, preferably both.

If you don’t know what Gourdlets is, imagine this: a regular city builder game with roads, parks, buildings, the whole deal. Now, throw in some adorable little creatures that look like pumpkins crossed with marshmallows. These little guys just waddle around, living their best lives, judging my urban design skills. Seriously, every time I misplace a tree, I swear one of them gives me side-eye. Tiny, judgy, pumpkins.

And wanna know the best part? It’s a no-stress game. No timers, no enemies, no disasters. It’s just you, your creativity, and a bunch of little gourd folk who seem perfectly happy to hang out no matter how questionable your city planning choices are. Which is great for me, because I once built a town in Pharaoh that had twelve fire stations, and ten Architects and zero bazaars, priorities!

Now, I thought I’d just hop on for “five minutes” to test it out. and suddenly I’ve built a park that could rival Central Park, a waterfront promenade, and a suspiciously large number of benches. Do the Gourdlets even sit on benches? I don’t know. But you bet your cozy little pumpkin butt that they have the option.

So, come play Gourdlets with me, because it’s wholesome chaos in the best way just be prepared to lose hours of your life while these tiny veggie people steal your heart.

Lets Play Dungeon Crawler Torchlight Part 18

Hi friends! Grab your potions and stuff that backpack until it screams, because we’re heading into Part 18 of Torchlight, one of my favorite dungeon crawlers of all time. Eighteen parts. Yeah, we’ve been at this so long that if Torchlight were a Netflix series, we’d be waiting for the renewal announcement by now.

Torchlight is one of those games where you go in thinking, “Okay, I’ll just play for a little bit, kill a few goblins, maybe loot a chest or two.” Then suddenly, three hours later, your pet wolf is running back to town to sell off the 47 rusty swords you’ve hoarded because you swear you might need one of them someday. Spoiler: you won’t.

But here we are, still crawling through this endless labyrinth like IKEA customers looking for the exit. Except instead of meatballs at the end, we get fire breathing dragons, skeletons and questionable magical jewelry.

So buckle up, sharpen your axe, and don’t forget to feed your pet because if there’s one thing Torchlight teaches us, it’s that fighting hordes of monsters is cool, but having a dog who can run errands for you? That’s priceless.

Lets Play Twinkle Star Sprites From SNK (Retro Gaming)

Hi! Today we’re playing Twinkle Star Sprites, a retro fever dream SNK decided to relaunch just to test my reflexes and patience. This game looks all cute and glittery at first, like “aww, magical girls throwing sparkles”, but five seconds in, it’s pure chaos. It’s like Mario Kart if everyone ditched their karts and started firing rainbow death lasers.

You’ve got fireballs, you’ve got counter-attacks, you’ve got screen-filling explosions that make you question whether you’re actually winning or just slowly ascending into another dimension and the best part? You can get totally annihilated by a character who looks like they belong on a third grader’s sticker sheet. Humiliating and yet also adorable.

Grab your snacks, don’t blink, and watch me get turned into sparkling retro rubble.

Unboxing Cute Barbie Outfit Haul

Hey everyone!  Today, we’re doing something absolutely crucial for humanity: unboxing three brand new Barbie outfits! That’s right, three teeny tiny fashion emergencies, that only I can attempt to solve without losing a button or accidentally creating a new Barbie sized fashion trend.

But I wonder will Barbie look fabulous? Will I drop the tiny accessories on the floor and pretend they didn’t exist? Will my dog, Max try to steal her shoes? Honestly, who knows, but one thing’s for sure, it’s going to be sparkly, chaotic, and ridiculously cute. So buckle up, grab some popcorn, and let’s dive into a world of mini dresses, teeny purses, and the kind of tiny drama only Barbie can inspire.

Unboxing Zoe with a Suitcase (Defa Lucy Colorful Day)

Hi! Today we’re unboxing Zoe with a Suitcase, also known in her secret identity as Defa Lucy: Colorful Day. Yes, she has two names, because apparently even dolls need stage names now. Barbie walks in and says, “Hi, I’m Barbie.” Zoe says, “Hi, I’m Zoe, but on weekends I’m Lucy.” Okay, diva.

And let me just say, I am loving these dolls. They’re so extra in the best way. Like, Zoe doesn’t just come with a suitcase, she comes with a whole lifestyle. She looks ready for a trip to Paris, while my version of travel chic is sweatpants, snacks, and praying my luggage is under 50 pounds.

The suitcase is what really sells it though. What did she pack? Outfits? Shoes? Evidence of her double life? Probably just a pair of sunglasses and a plastic hairbrush. But honestly, that’s still more prepared than me on vacation.

So grab your boarding pass, because we’re about to find out what Zoe’s bringing on her “Colorful Day.” Spoiler alert: it’s definitely cuter than anything I’ve ever packed.
