It's a new villain y'all
Hope you enjoy Cinderella's villain song! She's a gal whose just over the fairytale love story and being sold dreams of a happy ending. Now she's embracing being an agent of chaos and we love her for it.
We've gone a lot rockier with this arrangement and I LOVE IT, big up Tony Halliwell for producing this track, it slaps. And the artwork?!? My God ‪@sarahsworks‬ you have OUTDONE YOURSELF. Links to find them below.
✨CINDERELLA'S VILLAIN STORY✨
The day is mild, the sun glowing sweetly in the sky and Cinderella sits at her desk waiting with bated breath for the man she loves to walk through the door and save her. Only last night she met her soul mate, the person she knew she’d spend the rest of her life with. Then the clock struck twelve and Cinderella’s spell was broken, forcing them apart. But the power of love is strong, she’s read it in her books, and it can conquer all.
Finally the prince's men arrive, she knew he’d come for her! Cinderella races to her door to greet them, only to find that she had been locked in by her evil stepmother. Quickly, Cinderella sends her mice friends downstairs to retrieve the key, but unlike the tale you may be familiar with, they are unable to steal the key in time and so Cinderella misses their visit and her chance to be with the prince.
Cinderella remains in her room, locked there for weeks, living off of the hope that the Prince must be waiting for her. She has always been a being of love and hope, it’s all that’s gotten her through those years living as a servant, all that has gotten her through these tortuous weeks, the hope that there was a light, there was love at the end of the tunnel. If you stayed strong and treated those around you with kindness, no matter what they threw at you, then eventually you would find happiness too. Her Fairy Godmother would visit occasionally, encouraging her to wait, that much as she may wish, she cannot interfere in the course of true love anymore, the prince must come for her. And at long last her time was about to arrive, the man she loved would come for her eventually and she would finally step into a life she deserved. She just had to remain patient.
One afternoon, Cinderella is sitting at her desk again, her regular spot as she waits for her prince and to her surprise, her Fairy Godmother arrives to deliver some news. News that rocks Cinderella to her core. The prince has given up his search to find her. The prince has married another.
Cinderella’s heart plummets, at the height of her hope, the precipice of a new life, she is thrown right back to where she started. She truly thought this was her time, that the prince was different. A shadow crosses Cinderella’s face, a darkness she hasn’t felt ever before entering her heart. In a world full of evil even the purest of hearts can break and become something darker, something unrecognizable. For so long she had hoped for a life different to the one she had been given, she had taken the high road and sacrificed her own wellbeing in the process. But the high road suddenly looks far too high to climb and the low road seems very very appealing. Forgiveness and kindness have gotten her nowhere and so maybe it’s time for a different approach.
So this is love? Well if that’s the case, then she doesn’t want it. In fact she’ll ensure it’s something she never has to worry about again. After all, isn’t it about time she took back control of her life?

I think the ending is so interesting! The clock striking midnight could mean that Cinderella’s magic stops working at the exact moment she tries to attack the Prince, and she ends up losing. Or it’s just a cool way to end the video and I’m over analyzing lol. Either way, amazing singing, and the animatic is awesome as well!

[@Shaii-f2x]

It's a possibility, but the magic that cinderalla got from godmother isn't always "weak" to stop midnight, it's powerful enough to change timelines (3° movie), so we can guess the clock is a sign of another thing: the time of love that cinderella ended there, if the dream started in a badallad, will end on another, as the godmother said, but she didn't said when these badalads would be. with the end of her dreams, another motivations have to replace, like greed for power? revenge? be free? whatever happened, she won in this fight.

[@EditDeath]

Alternately, the lyrics earlier talk about midnight as when the Prince's time is up, so this is Cinderella following up on that promise

Honestly, this villain arc really seems like it fits with the character & I think makes more sense than the actual ending of the storyline. Cinderella lost both her parents, was tormented & degraded by her stepfamily for years, and then the man she fell in love with "betraying her" was the final straw that made her snap (they literally had just met). Very fun song revision & animation! Amazing vocals (as always).

[@CheshireCat-cm1si]

Yay! If you're taking suggestions for your next villain song, do you want to do Nala from the Lion King? Here's what I'm thinking: Nala tries to get Simba to come back to Pride Rock like in canon. Only this time, Simba can't be swayed and stays in the oasis with Timon and Pumbaa. With no other options, Nala travels further until she finds another pride of lions. Out of anger at Simba's rejection, she murders that pride's leader and takes over. Now with an army of lionesses under her command, she rallies them to join her in taking over Pride Rock. I think you could use the song "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" plus "I Just Can't Wait To Be King". Just a suggestion, but I'd love to see what you do with it!

[@solarly3240]

I like how I get the feeling that while yes she wants to win, she might not necessarily mind losing, considering all that she's already gone through and how she really has nothing left to lose, she's decided to go down the most cathartic path for her. If she wins, then she'll get everything she's ever dreamed for, and if she loses, well she doesn't have to suffer anymore and how can it get worse than what she went through every day of her life.

[@598019001]

Is it weird that I'm cheering for the prince AND cinderella Both in this? The prince's biggest mistake was never asking her name, and using the glass slipper as his way of identification, I could easily see someone fitting it well enough and just... lying, to end up with the kind, happy lovestruck prince. I can picture this whole thing devolving years from now into a Heavily Charged Evil Queen vs rugged Rebel Prince sort of civil war, The Violence only matched by the level of sexual tension between the two of them. You know, provided that neither of them lost their heads during that clash at the end.

[@LincolnDWard]

I don't think I really appreciated until this song how important it is to Cinderella's story that she doesn't have any specific hopes beyond "someday things will get better." She maintains hope, certainly - that's a core part of her character - but she does not, at any point until things change, believe that things _can_ change in the short term. That's very realistic for someone who has been abused and gaslit for years by the time the story takes place. This song is almost an exploration of what could have been if she saw the Godmother's magic and the Prince's love as her big ticket out of squalor rather than simply seeing the ball as a one-night reprieve (which later turned into more).

[@cstarrosecolors7736]

I was wondering what she did to her stepmother and I think she did... nothing. Just left Tremaine to find her daughters, her pride and joy, as pumpkins, and watching as the stepdaughter she envied and hated so much march out the door in a beautiful and sexy revenge dress. That would be the best revenge for locking her up, leaving her alone just like Cinderella was.

This one i really want to see someone come up for the lore for, since in the origional, her feeling the hots for the prince wasnt even really the motivation, she just wanted to go to the ball and have some fun. But i guess unlike the origional, here she was corrupted by the life with her stepmother

[@violet999ab]

From reading the story in the description, it sounds like when she heard the prince was looking for her, she had hope she’d finally escape her stepfamily. Then when she learned he’d married somebody else, that hope was destroyed, and facing god-knows how much longer of being treated like a servant without any hope of freedom, she snapped and did what we saw in the video. (Plus, it’s been a hot minute since I watched the movie, but wasn’t she crushing on the prince after the ball? She didn’t initially go to meet him, but IIRC after she met him the two of them hit it off pretty well.)

[@shadowldrago]

@@violet999ab From what I remember, you're correct.

[@user-re8tc1dg3b]

​@@violet999ab she did kinda just fantasize about the moments with the prince, but i would say its cuz those were just the most genuine fun moments she had in a while

[@firenzarfrenzy4985]

Twisted tales are intriguing. A life where Cinderella was never chosen despite rising odds in the face of despair. It would truly be enough to crush anyone. Keep singing, your voice is great and can only get greater. And to the artist, Sarahsworks. Divine *chef's kiss*

[@mckennaholmes1020]

The line “He didn’t even ask me my name that night” made me say DAMN out loud to myself 😂

I appreciate that even as she snapped, she didn't go after the prince's new bride, understanding she was swayed the same way. Also, 2:20 gives off _Mean Girls Musical_ vibes ❤

[@lilyrose1581]

But then why did she turn her into a mouse in fact why does she lock all the other people in the castle throne area

[@toxicghost58]

@@lilyrose1581 I don't think that was her because they don't show her running past the Evil Cinderella, I think it was just one of the people in the audience, and it was meant to show what she was doing to the people who were running. Also, I think Cinderella locked all the people in so that there would be witnesses to what she was about to do to the prince. Either way, she knows who to be angry with.

[@lilyrose1581]

@@toxicghost58 no it was her because Cinderella was behind her where the new Queen seems to be running towards the back behind the curtains or running to the prince who is just right beside the queen and Cinderella comes up behind her and walks past her after turning the person into the mouse

I'm really curious about this one. Why are broken people always the most badass ? It's no wonder Harley Quinn fell for the Joker.

[@IceMetalPunk]

The more broken you are, two things happen: 1. You stop trying to please everyone who broke you, so no more politeness, and 2. if there's anyone you still care about, you never want them to feel the way you do, so you will go to any lengths to suppress those who hurt you before they hurt anyone else.

[@hannahhester8376]

Oh yep definitely don't blame her. This actually happened in the third film, where her stepmother got the wand turned back time made the slipper fit Anastasia, obviously Cinderella still got the happy ending, but imagine if she went to the castle got the wand back, imprisoned the royal family and made herself Queen.

OUGH I love the way her voice is still sweet, even dangerously so. Also props to the artist for her costume change. It looks loose and torn, mimicking the way the pink dress was torn to shreds by those uncaring, but now it is adorned with all the glitter and glam and audacity she was denied of her whole life, and I’m all for it!

Ohhh, another one i really wanted!!! I love how Anastasia's facial expressions reflect what we know of her from the sequels. This is amazing! But i do wonder what she did to her stepmother...?

[@Stocking_Panty_Simp]

She probably actually murdered her with the wand, stabbing her bluntly, because she missed her chance with the prince all because of her, and because the Prince married another she probably also a murdred The prince so that way she won’t have to worry about it so she probably just murdered them in a blunt rage so that way she could take control of her life

Now that i think about it, it's sad that in this context, Cinderella not only got abused, mistreated and taken as a servant to her family and was longing for someone that loves her as who she is as person but now she's experiencing a broken heart by the prince, she got a lot of bad experiences with people that just treated her badly that there's no point for her to keep hoping for love because it's what happened to her was "love", then she doesn't want it anymore.

This is great. Your voice is amazing as always and the animation style here looks really good and pristine definitely fitting for Cinderella. The song itself is like a jazz song from a club similar to Meg's song but with a bit of rock sprinkled into the chorus. 1:45 is my personal favourite shot as it gets across so many emotions in so little time, Drizella looks angry unsympathetic as ever while Anastasia actually looks worried for Cinderella showing her more sympathetic side. Great job to you and @sarahsworks!
