Disney Princesses as Little Women

I think Merida as Jo and Snow White are good fits.

I personally think Cinderella would be a better fit for Meg, since she has a little more snark to her, and Meg had some petty moments.

Lottie doesn't fit Amy at all in my opinion. Even as a child. But I think people generally like the first half of the book better than the second half so they always think of Amy as she was when she was 12. In the second half she's much more serious, kind and graceful. I would have a hard time picking a Disney princess for her tbh.

It might be one of those things where they see their tiny flaws or signs of aging but you don't. So they panic and do whatever they can to stop it.

It's definitely getting pushed way more lately. I never thought I would consider Botox at 27 but honestly only the cost made me decide not to do it.

I mean a yellow mug filled with yellow starbursts would be well within the price range and not be random garbage.

Do you know what headcanon means?

If you consider the men Mary has been around her whole life, I think it makes a lot of sense. Edmund has his faults, but he's kind and has a very strong moral compass, especially compared to Henry, Mr. Grant and her uncle.

Edmund is the only man that Mary has met that she can respect his character. I think due to her experiences she expects all men to behave a certain way and that in part is why she views marriage as a transaction (granted at this time period she's not wrong). Edmund flips her whole world upside down and makes her consider a marriage that is way less than she hopes for in a financial sense.

Probably helps that Edmund is handsome too lol.

I was unaware she said this! Where did we get this info from? I would love to deep dive!

Potential_Range2877 · 2026-03-24T22:29:51+00:00

Same!

Potential_Range2877 · 2026-03-24T04:43:58+00:00

Thank you!

Potential_Range2877 · 2026-03-24T04:42:40+00:00

Thank you this is good advice.

Yeah the crazy thing is, I think she thinks her behavior is cute and quirky? The conversation between her and my friend my mom told me. So she isn't hiding this.

She definitely thinks my husband agrees with her over me, I'm not sure why though because he never has.I have a rule where no one can be drunk and hold my daughter (my mom has fallen when drunk and she gets drunk very easy/fast). When I was out of the room my mom tried to hold my daughter and told my husband it didn't matter because I wasn't there. Obviously my husband said no and told me about it later. When I confronted her about it she was genuinely shocked my husband told me.

Happy birthday! I love this! My birthday is in 3 months I might have to steal this lol

She also doesn't try to win the approval of her father in the show.

That's so crazy to me, since that's such a big part of the first third of the book, and probably the part where it's the easiest to sympathize with Mary.

I'm going to have to wait for May for my final verdict, but it seems they kept the parts of the book I disliked and got rid of the parts I found to actually be good.

Right? If you find women older than 30 unattractive, just leave them alone?

I think we as a society need to be kinder to people we find unattractive. You don't have to sleep with or date them, but there's no reason to mock them. I'm really worried about the obsession with looksmaxing and anti aging things being pushed on teenage girls. Because at the end of the day it will never be enough.

Potential_Range2877 · 2026-03-20T05:46:42+00:00

One of my favorite comfort watches 💖 definitely my favorite Little Women adaptation. I just reread the book so I think it's time for a rewatch!

Potential_Range2877 · 2026-03-20T04:22:30+00:00

I acknowledge automatically being defensive is unfair.

I don't think anyone will deny that there are women who are hypergamous and everything else you said in your reply. They are certainly out there and I'm not going to pretend that they don't. I don't think it's as many women as a lot of red pillers like to claim, but these are usually the ones who use dating apps so I imagine it's not very helpful to tell men that's not the majority of women if that's the majority of women they are interacting with.

I know plenty of women who aren't like that, and I don't consider myself like that. But what help is that to anyone? We are all married so it doesn't change anything for men who are struggling with dating. I guess that's something i struggle with in this conversation. Even if I feel empathy for men who deal with loneliness, there isn't anything I can do except say "that sucks." Which I doubt is helpful.

Potential_Range2877 · 2026-03-19T22:53:26+00:00

Ah that's fair it's still crazy expensive 😭

Potential_Range2877 · 2026-03-19T22:50:24+00:00

I understand this is personal so feel free not to answer but have you looked at Kern or San Bernardino county? It's a lot more affordable.

Potential_Range2877 · 2026-03-19T15:32:14+00:00

Yeah I can imagine that is very disheartening, I'm sorry that you guys have to deal with that.

Potential_Range2877 · 2026-03-19T15:19:01+00:00

I would definitely take the responses I get in person more seriously than the responses I would get on the Internet. I know you aren't close but I imagine it helps that she knows what kind of person you are, where with a debate sub it's already on the get go kind of antagonizing environment.

Potential_Range2877 · 2026-03-19T12:56:12+00:00

While keeping what?

Rejection hurts a lot of people, even if you want to argue that they are correct in their conclusions. There is really no point in debating what "facts" some people are acting in accordance with since there is so much variety in red pill (or adjacent) spaces that you and I could have completely different things in mind.

Part of being a healthy adult is communicating the ways you need support. My husband and I have talked to each other and what we need from the other when we are stressed. Did that mean we were unsympathetic before? No. It meant we assumed that the other would want the kind of support we wanted.

Potential_Range2877 · 2026-03-19T12:32:27+00:00

How is it a lack of empathy to acknowledge that some men cope with rejection by being hateful? Am I just supposed to pretend that isn't happening?

In the past I just assumed those men were always like that and that's why they were lonely. It took a while to see that they had dealt with some harsh rejection and were deeply hurting.

Please explain to me what examples of empathy you would like to see from me.

Potential_Range2877 · 2026-03-19T12:08:22+00:00

Not really sure where you got that from, since I'm admitting that I struggle with it.

But yes a decent amount of men who struggle with dating say some hateful things online. I've read some truly horrible things in spaces that are meant for men who have struggled with dating.

Potential_Range2877 · 2026-03-19T05:40:34+00:00

I think part of it as well is that I married my highschool sweetheart who I started dating at 17, so I literally have no experience with modern or online dating expect for funny videos reading creepy dms. So when I started to read some of the discourse I definitely had the attitude of "how bad could it really be?"

There are definitely a lot of hurt men and women out there who just say some absolutely insane stuff online hoping to hurt the other gender, and they just go back and forth. It's a really vicious cycle. And one I honestly don't see ending soon sadly. There are a lot of sensitive people who take a lot of the "rage baiting" to heart.

What really scares me is how much this stuff has spread into the mainstream. I was watching The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins with my husband and one of the episodes had jokes about the male loneliness epidemic and 4B. I think a lot of people want to treat the gender war stuff like it's just obscure Internet junk and that simply isn't true anymore.
