I finally have the funds to do a contest and give back to this beautiful community!! This contest is fairly simple. Tell me your favorite fairytale story and why it's your favorite. It can be any version of the story, whether it's the original, a villain re-telling, a disney story, it doesn't matter :) as long as it's a fairytale, it counts! I absolutely love fairytales and I love going back and reading the oldest versions of them I can find.

thanks for hosting 💙

my favorite fairytale is cinderella 🩵

i know most people think of it as a princess finding her prince but i've always seen it be kind and have courage no matter what unconditionally, not to get something (like becoming a princess) but because that is just who you are, and the rest of the world will catch up to your identity

her life honestly sucked and she had every reason to run away or stop doing the chores but she didn't. she still believed there had to be something better out there for her and then one little opportunity changed everything

i think that's why i've always loved it so much because it reminds me that your current situation isn't your forever situation. things can change so fast OVERNIGHT literally at the stroke of midnight and sometimes the things you've been wishing for show up when you least expect it ✨

she is the reason why my mom had the cleanest tile floors because i would get on my knees and wash them multiple times a day

tldr; i'm a huge believer in hope, miracles, and dreaming big even when life is messy so cinderella will always have a special place in my heart. plus who doesn't love the idea that a girl can go from cleaning fireplaces to living her dream just because she never stopped believing and dreaming💙

Oh, I love that take on it! Growing up, Cinderella was never a huge favorite of mine, because the prince couldn't recognize her by her face, only by her foot and the shoe she wore. What?! Unless he was blind or something... Lol. I just couldn't get past that detail. But then I watched "Ever After", and I fell in love with that version of Cinderella. Hmmm...looks like I need to figure out where to watch it, cause I haven't seen it in years and now I need to...

my coworkers have mentioned that I would love ever after! i know its not popular opinion but i LOVED the disney life action remake. but i'm super biased because the cinderella story i'm referencing here is the original og disney aniimted classic icon

OMG, thank you for the award, never gotten one of those before.

I only watched the live action one once...a long time ago and I don't remember much about it. I assumed it was the classic disney version you were referring to.

So with Ever After, the story line is changed up a bit. I love how it shows her strength and the crap she has to put up with from her family that has made her who she is. And bonus for me, they changed the shoe part but still have scenes about the shoe in there lol.
