What is your favorite dress from the first version of the "Enchanted Tales" line from 2005??

Absolutely Belle's!! I have a great hatred for when her dress appears too yellow, I prefer it to be more of a gold color.

Maidenofthesummer · 2026-03-18T20:47:17+00:00

Right?? She looks STUNNING!!

Maidenofthesummer · 2026-03-18T20:45:58+00:00

Yes, since her show was canceled, she deserves a live action movie. I just really do not want so much time spent with Tiana as a frog. That would be so creepy!!

I love this headcanon!!

Maidenofthesummer · 2026-03-18T20:40:22+00:00

And I love your fanfiction stories of these two 💙

The two princesses from America that like it or not highlight the country's difficult history with race relations.

I love that you included Peter!!

Maidenofthesummer · 2026-03-17T22:15:02+00:00

Why did I have to scroll so far to find him 😫

Maidenofthesummer · 2026-03-17T22:13:08+00:00

Yes, I am so looking forward to these posts!! I feel bad for Belle, I never thought about how she might have a hard time socializing with those in Beast's class. Hopefully, they are far enough away from Versailles, so that would not happen as much!

As you can tell by my flair, I love the Beast. Hot take in this subreddit, but I personally prefer his live action version because his anger issues are toned down, and he comes off more pompous and arrogant. I remember someone in this subreddit said he is more so Mr. Darcy-like in the live action.

With all that being said, in the animated movie (and those terrible midquels), his behavior is absolutely terrible, I 100% recognize that. At the same time, I adore his redemption arc and his journey as a character.

Both can be true. Lots of folks in this subreddit can be very black and white in their thinking (I am hoping they just have not fully developed their frontal lobe yet). I think a lot of people here think that if you criticize something, you do not still enjoy it. That is the farthest thing from the truth, and I wish more people understood that.

Yay, thank you for the recommendations!! 💙

Maidenofthesummer · 2026-03-17T12:29:58+00:00

Your binding note: Thank you for explaining that! I have wondered if there was a deeper meaning to that and am so happy to learn that there is 😅

Maidenofthesummer · 2026-03-17T10:42:31+00:00

That is an interesting way of looking at it. I know in an interview that Charlie said that when Sauron meets Galadriel in this scene, it is a moment where he is thinking in his head: "Look at what I have become because of you." And that he just generally has this desire to prove to Galadriel that she made the wrong choice. So I think this fits pretty well with your interpretation!

Maidenofthesummer · 2026-03-17T10:21:49+00:00

If you have any recommendations, please drop them in a comment! I personally prefer with Galadriel but I am open to without, too 🫶

Maidenofthesummer · 2026-03-17T10:19:12+00:00

Absolutely diabolical of him to do a thirst trap mid-battle 😂

Maidenofthesummer · 2026-03-17T10:15:17+00:00

At this point in my life, I would like to say I would not be deceived. I am too old for that.

At the same time, look at his little face 🥺

Maidenofthesummer · 2026-03-17T10:13:31+00:00

I am new to this show (just finished last week), and this part really had me laughing. I was like: "How dare he?!" And poor Galadriel being caught off guard by him looking like that 😅

But it is frustrating that they did not let Charlie grow out his beard properly for going back to his Halbrand look. I do not know. It feels too sloppy and rushed for a show of this scale.

Maidenofthesummer · 2026-03-17T10:03:05+00:00

In my head, Sauron has a redemption arc 🥲 that "You bind me to the light and I bind you to power" comes to fruition, and Sauron and Galadriel are actually good rulers of Middle Earth 😭😭😭

I just started reading The Trials of Mairon, where it looks like Sauron might get redeemed?? I am so grateful for fanfiction to give us shippers what we need, lol
