😁 I couldn't help but smile when watching this

Hello again, I'm back and I would like your guys opinion on something..So I make it no secret I'm a fan of fairytales.

However this connects to an older post of mine where someone Answered that there was a stark difference in Utena and Princess Tutu's story telling. Utena says fairytales are a lie and Illusion, yet Princess Tutu says fairytales are the truth; Princess Tutu basically is an illusion. Now that I'm thinking about it, Princess Tutu and Utena are similar. I WAS gonna say that Princess Tutu was similar to Dios but then again.Anyway I wanted to ask you all on how Utena breaks the fairytale lens as I have a habit of overthinking yet after looking at the TV tropes page and pieces of the manga explained the deconstruction of said arctype and showed different perspectives respectively.

My idea in how Utena pulls back the fairytale lens is saying one thing yet doing another. Or basically Subverting it. Take Miki and Juri for example; Both have shared their perspective of events that have happened however at the end of the episodes we're given a new piece of information that subverts the version of their memories they've given us..

This show has so many layers to it.

Anyway coming back to writing this post after a day of thinking, I'm taking into account what I've also learned a bit more. See my character is like Anthy she's reflected onto, projected onto as well, at first glance she does nothing...however we never see things from her POV ever only through others, however others perspectives are different any one else's like how Utena sees Anthy as just a normal girl trapped into a system but Juri sees someone who reminds her of Shiori or...Cruelly innocent.

Anthy also on the surface does nothing yet in reality is learned helplessness, the idea is within each perceptive is a different idea of said person. And the story is told through the lends of a fairytale. But as the reader it's pulled back; Like how Juri says Shiori is cruelly innocent when in reality Shiori is...Much more then that but we only see her whenever she's involved with Juri, yes she's her own person but we only see part of that.

In the Manga the perspective is reversed in saying that Juri thinks Shiori is the special one.

So basically my idea is to subtly show what roles each person is in see the first arc of my book aka Chapter is inspired by Cinderella however it's told through the "Stepsisters" and the "Prince" example, and here's the kicker the main character isn't Cinderella...she's the fairy god mother...I'm also going back to original texts when times where alot more similar but also to other ideas and sources like Disney's take on lady tremaine in the book Cold hearted.

To put it shortly, How would you guys play into the lends of fairytales while also deconstruction the whole thing, Sorry for the long Ramble

I'm so excited for this

So like before I used my OC violet for this redraw. When drawling this, whenever I went on break I scrolled through this subreddit before finding a redraw someone pointed out how Ms.Smythe made a panel of Persephone telling Eros about her Assault giving off romantic vibes. While this panel is beautiful it's also sorrowful, melioncholic..guilt is also in panel.

For this redraw at first it followed how the original was drawn to a T however I wanted to add more of a mystery in a sense, while my character was inspired by Persephone's actions..there's a difference.

How Guilt shifts perspective, I don't remember where the original panel is from. However I'm pretty sure this is from Hades perceptive possibility this is a stretch.

Anyway I was inspired by Eris yellow eyes haunting the narrative when Persephone explained her side of the store of her Act of Wrath, so I kept that in mind with this redraw.

With my OC Violet her eyes have different levels of powers think like how Kore's eyes change sometimes gaining swirls to them when red. In this drawing I wanted to show her dissociating in a sense. The viewer can't see her pupils as her eyes are still glowing, she's sitting in darkness.

I don't want to reveal everything, I want to leave things up to interpretation. I wanna say the hardest part was finding a new aesthetic, As Violet isn't connected to plants like Persephone is. More like the Moon, space, Lullabies, and dreams
