Going slightly mad?

I had a dream in animation last night. I literally dreamt about the ending to Disney's Cinderella. OMG spoilers, but you know the scene where, after all the struggle on the part of the mice to get Cinderella out of the locked tower so she can try on the slipper the Duke is bringing around? She comes running down the stairs and sits to try it on, but as the guy with the glass slipper comes running over to her, the wicked Stepmother trips him, and the glass slipper shatters. The Duke despairs, crying over the slipper and then Cinderella brings out the other slipper, and she fits it and happily ever, much to the horror of the Stepmother?

Well, here is the ending as viewed by my subconscious. The Duke is crying over the slipper being broken. All dialogue was direct from the movie except the part in bold which denotes my bold re-invisioning of that scene.

Cinderella: Well, perhaps, if it would help... (she goes to remove the other slipper from her pocket)
The Duke: No, no, no, nothing can help now!
Cinderella: But you see, I have the other slipper.
(The Stepmother is aghast--very famous look of horror on her face as the Duke kisses the slipper and puts it on Cinderella's foot.)
Cinderella: (Looking up triumphantly at the still-shocked Stepmother) That's right. I have the other shoe, bitch.

That's one you won't see on the special edition DVD folks.

That's from Sleeping Beauty. Also, LOL at sex pollen, as arcane_the_sage brought that into the discussion of inter-generational romance. It doesn't forgive the problems with written IGR (boy, am I getting tired of writing the full thing), just like it doesn't really fix any of the other folk who fall prey to it, but it's such a classic staple. And now you've gone and found it in Disney. Well done.

Right. Whoops! Clearly I didn't watch Cinderella much either, though I have no clear reason for that. And sex pollen is an excuse for forcing (in a story) any romance that doesn't make any sense given the characters.

Yep, I believe I represented it correctly in my argument. Mostly because you joke about it when you can't get two characters together in your fics :)

LOL. Sex pollen is the best excuse for implausible sex EVAR!

(BTW, are you the other CKR fangirl? If so I have more Tin Man slash fic recs for you, and they are just about as implausible as sex pollen.)

[ivy03.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, I am. And I don't know what tv is talking about, reccing CKR smut. Those fics were not smutty at all!

The third one in the series by that author turned into porn! Just not either of the two she linked.

Anyway, joandarck has some fic up here, here, and here. Only the last one gets smutty, though. What's with people writing these in threes?!
