I first learned about the Rejected Princesses a few weeks ago, through a page I´m following on Facebook (actually a site that has an FB account). It frequently posts feministic articles - but let´s go to the point.
Unlike many of you are probably thinking, this has nothing to do with Eylowny, Kida, Giselle and other less popular/famous Disney girls who aren´t officially in the group "the Princesses". No, this is the idea of a creative, intelligent illustrator, called Jason Porath - he used to work in Dreamworks. After reading some old-fashioned critic that accused Frozen girls of "not being a role model", he started this serie of ilustrations of notable, interesting women, which, for this or that reason, never would be in a Disney movie - because their stories are too violent, amoral, weird, etc. There are romance characters like the infamous Lolita, legendary characters like Corn Maiden, but mainly, women who really existed. Some are more like villainesses, like Queen Fredegunde (who tried to kill her own daughter closing the lid of a chest on her neck), Elizabeth Bathory and the Empress Wu Zetan; others were awesome warriors, getting on roles that mostly are considered "man stuff".
The big point is, okay, I had heard of Lolita (who hasn´t?) m but most members of RP list are unknown characters I never heard before... and I´m actually getting addicted on this. I even started reading the Ramayana after learning about Sita (but to know why, look in the gallery).
My favorites until now:
Julie d´Aubigny/La Maupin- A swordsgirl, opera singer and outlaw, who lived in 17th French and literally burned a nunnery for love. I suspect strongly that the creator of The Rose of Versailles was inspired on her - even if a little - to create Lady Oscar.
Shajar Al Durr - she turned the Seventh Cruzade into a big fiasco
and demanded a huge Ransom for Louis IX of France. (I never had a good opinion about the Cruzades or anyone who wants to push its own religion down the others´ throats)
Ida B. Wells - she fought the lynching on EUA.
Petra Herrera - an amazing soldadera (soldier woman who fought in Mexican revolution). Too bad that Pancho Villa was a sexist pig who refused giving credits to women.
Kuthulun - the "wrestling princess" - in order to escape from marriage, she defied her suitors for a fight. (and no, she didn´t kill the losers, but they became considerably poor). She actually inspired the opera Turandot, according to Jason, but the opera character has nothing to do with the original. (centuries before Walt Disney was born, the opera writers already changed the stories as they wished)
Mariya Oktyabrskaya - she fought in a tank during World War 2 - wanna more badass than that?

Obs: if you know someone who could fit, ask Jason. He loves suggestions (but he received hundreds by day, so God knows when yours will come). I already suggested him to make Anita Garibald and Maria Bonita - respectivelly, a revolutionary heroine and a bandit, both from Brazil.

My most remarkable mangas
Wow, I was checking it now and realized it's two years I haven't posted anything here. Last year was a Hell, because of my mom's disease, and that took away every will I had from drawing. I'm returning in baby steps now, in spite of my disappointment with this AI invasion. (and my best works gonna be glazed). I made these bingos a couple of days ago, inspired by a friend on facebook. It's the mangas you already read - in my case, the ones that impacted me most, starting with the first ones. I already shared on face and was sad of putting on the trash bin, so I decided to share on twitter and here, too. (to see them, click on the title)
According to You (a new entrapdak amv)
According to You (entrapdak) - YouTube This is my second and last entrapdak amv. The first time I heard this song was in amvs (Strange Magic and Skip Beat, specifically), and I thought: "Wow, this is sooo like the relationship Entrapta has with Hordak and the rest of her self-proclaimed friends". Back then, I thought it would be a little depressive (and also, didn't have enough entrapdak moments to the 'according to him' chorus), so I chose Invisible Touch instead. But it took me just one night and one day, and it was actually fun. Until now, You Tube is not creating problems, but in case you can't watch in your country, I posted on vimeo, too: According to You (entrapdak) (vimeo.com) It is funny and sad that ND Stevenson and the other Spop writers discussed brilliantly the abuse suffered by Adora, Catra and even Hordak, but turned a blind eye towards Entrapta's situation, treating it as 'justified' (I found fans whom actually see it like this) or comic relief. Seriously
Entrapdak AMV
I finished yesterday a She-Ra video, with a song that I think that fits Entrapta perfectly, Invisible Touch. Youtube blocked it on USA - I would understand if they didn't have lots of amvs with the Genesis song... Elfen Lied had at least four or five ones! Oh well, I just posted it in vimeo. I'm going to post in daylimotion, too (as long as learn how to do it, because it has no "create video" button or anything alike). Here: invisible touch on Vimeo
She-Ra and Disney mixed
Hello, Today I finally finished a long- waited project, my first amv. Since the Season 3 of She-Ra, I wanted to do a video where each character was themed by a Disney song... actually, it's funny that nobody has done it yet, since there are tons of videos with Steven Universe's, One Piece's, Harry Potter, etc, like this. Still, it took a lot for me to find a decent theme song for Horde Prime (almost got Second Rate from Alladin 2, but it was too humouristic for such a dark villain). Here are the links. Got one on vimeo, too, just in case You Tube will make a fuss (it would be quite hypocritical from them, but). - She-Ra and the Princesses of Power Character Disney Songs - YouTube She-Ra Characters Disney Theme Songs on Vimeo I also created a new channel on youtube, Sugarpop (inspired on a Kellogs corn flock I loved as kid) to publish occasional fandon stuff. I'm planning to post original things, including small animations, in my original YT account.
