Don't mind me, I'm just squealing and squirming in a puddly mess on the floor because THE GODDESS HAS DONE IT AGAIN AHHHHHH o(*////▽////*)q Screenshots truly did not do this video justice. I saw snippets of aesthetics and gorgeous shots as you worked on this video and asked for visual suggestions on what was, more often than not, already a _perfect_ still - you wittle talented perfectionist. But I am absolutely, positively, undeniably BLOWN AWAY seeing everything in motion, with smooth BEAUTIFUL transitions accompanied by your vocals to the snazzy beat. Every piece slotted into place, every cog clicked together so seamlessly - your art, your animation, your mix, your vocals. So much talent and creativity in one person (queen, goddess, SUPREME ALPHA BEING) and I have so many feelings for this masterpiece so ARE YOU READY RAF HERE WE GOOOOO- Let's start with your voice. FFFFFFF your voice in this song just hits all the right notes (:D) for me. That first whispered VA line sent tingles up and down my spine, and then you followed that up with adlibs that built up more anticipation, and then your first breathy line just hit me like a ton of bricks and I was like "I'M IN LOVE I'M LOOPING THIS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE." For the rest of the song I was just absorbed in your chocolate smooth voice combined with the jazzy smooth instrumental like HRNNGH. IF A VOICE COULD STEP ON ME I WOULD WANT IT TO BE YOUR VOICE (but since it can't please step on me in person. Pls. I am laid on the ground for your steppage.) I rarely get to hear you sing in Korean and this is a treat, an absolute SNACC, AN ENTIRE MEAL THAT I AM HAPPILY DEVOURING AND BOPPING TO. This is the cake I wanted for my birthday, and I am enjoying every delicious slice and sound of it. Your adlibs bring a new depth to this song that truly takes it over the top, and the way you go from breathy seductive vibes (seduce me mawmi) in the beginning to powerful queen vibes (top me mawmi) at the chorus and back again has me in GOOSEBUMPS like what a true variety of eargasms. And I really really love the way you revised the end too, what a strong adlib of a line that really ends the song beautifully - along with that very last "Ah~" at the end. AhhhhhhhHHHHH. That is going haunt me, echo in my ears, as delicate as the bell chime that accompanied it and such a perfect last topping to this hauntingly gorgeous cover. Visuals wise- the minute I saw that clock spin and click into place and with the chime I knew I was in trouble. So smooth, so satisfying, and such foreshadowing for the perfection of the rest of the video. And oh lord. Oh looooordddddie lord this art I just- I can't- who am I- what am I- HOW AM I?? I am blown away, mesmerized by each drawn character and their different poses. There is SO MUCH ART in this video and hello 911, yes I would like to report a crime, and that crime is that this isn't a webtoon because I needed this webtoon like YESTERDAY. (my favorite is still that waltz scene at 2:24 like I will salivate over this anatomy and how the image flows for the rest of my days) And oh lordie that scene at 1:56 where Godmother is delicately putting on Cinderlyra's shoe, and then clutching it at 2:01 with those SMOLDERING EYES
You have a great voice to play a female villain. You have a lot of potential in your voice acting. Your villain voice acting to me is up there with other villains like Aku from Samurai Jack and Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls. I would hire you to voice my female villain in my story. Your voice sounds sadistic, cunning, seductive, and psychotic. Keep up the great work. :)
Honored to be thought so highly of by you, thank you very much ♡ I'm definitely looking into doing more voice acting so please look forward to it - and I'd love to see any villains you create
@@RafScrap thank you. I'm very excited to do my story and have you voice my villain. BTW, do you have a discord server? I'd love to chat with you on details and stuff. :)
Oh, it’d be so wonderful if she had a Discord Server! I’m currently trying to get more of my friends into her music. You know, culture them. XD Since their music tastes are vastly different than mine, they unfortunately haven’t had the pleasure of finding her like I did. It’d be very nice to find and discuss with others who greatly enjoy her work. 💗
@@LaceySings18 Lacey why are you an actual angel 🥺🥺💞 I don't foresee myself having the time to manage a discord server, but please feel free to hmu on discord!! Just let me know who you are if your display name is different, mine is RafScrap#5146
I love the curse of King Midas and have often contemplated incorporating it into a video, I'm so happy and honored to find it here in this context aaa //// ♡ thank you very much for this comment!!!
@@RafScrap I should be the one who is honoured! Thank you for another amazing video and a lovely comment! That would be a really interesting topic for a video, wow, you have a really inspired mind! We're all looking forward to your future projects, whatever they may be!
...good god, I don't need to be any more attracted to your voice, or either of these characters. I can't just play your music all day and lie in a pile of limbs and heartache!
@@RafScrap Okay! So I know this was months ago, but I have this theory and I really want to ask about it. Was this inspired by the story of Cinderella? Some of the iconography - the pumpkins, the mice, the clock - remind me a LOT of the story, except to me, this reads like Cinderella's "Prince Charming" isn't as nice as it seems. Hence her taking revenge. Maybe I'm reading too deep into it, but I've had this theory for MONTHS, and I just have to ask.
Corrupt love story about the evil character bringing the good character into the bad side by tricking them into thinking they are truly evil? I think yes. Off topic though the video and vocals are absolutely wonderful! You never fail to impress ^^ Hope you have a good day or night aswell as everyone else here.
@@RafScrap Goal accomplished then! Hey, quid pro quo! Every time you pop up in my subscription feed I can’t help but grin, because I know I’m about to hear something amazing. 🖤
whenever i heard "i'm a villain" in this cover, i really felt it. most of these covers were good too to be honest, but no matter what, i love this one the most. the art is beautiful, and the voice just sounds- damn. that's how i tried singing the korean version (totally without failing)
A twisted visual version of Cinderella with a gorgeous Evil godmother, combined with one of my fav songs "villain" by stella jang. MMMH!!!🤤 a cover I didn't know I want. I SUPER LOVE YOUR VOICE😍
God, this is such an amazing cover, I nearly sequaled after hearing it. And now I'm just playing it on a loop. Of course, let's not forget about the art and animation, just, aaaaaaahhhh. You've done some really great work and it's nice to see you still growing improving and all. So thank you for covering this!!!
Hello again you ♡ It's such an honor when someone who's been following my work sees progress, I'm pumped up!! My pleasure to create, and thank YOU always for your kind words and support
Just spit-balling stories here. A pretty and wealthy girl donates to charities, helps the poor, and is the kindest a person can be. But when a woman of the dark visits to speak with her, the woman points out that the girl has never sacrificed anything real to be good. Each kind acts only feeds into her desire to be considered a good person by everybody else. As time passes the girl's precious charities fall apart, her popularity among the people falls, and even her own wealth declines. Her actions turn destructive as she desperately clings to the idea of herself as a good person. She starts indirectly hurting everyone around her to preserve that ego. At the end she's left with nothing, clinging to the image of the woman who had given her that warning, calling her an evil witch and blaming her for every horrible thing. Calling the woman the villain and failing to see her own misdeeds.
So like my brains sees theory potential in the beautifully illustrated video especially with the scenes with the singular eyeball and the fact that out of the 2 wonderful characters shown, we're one visible eyeball short so I love those implications
If I am a villain for loving this, then GUARDS, TAKE ME AWAY!! :D I do not know Korean at all, but this song was an absolute bop and sounded like it was just made for you and your sultry voice. I love the premise of the story (not knowing the actual storyline of the actual song, haha) AND EVERYTHING FLOWED SO FLAWLESSLY AND ASDFGHJKL I'm foaming at the mouth. I agree, this would make an epic Webtoon, but I don't expect one in the future, haha! The song is (amazingly) satisfying in itself. By the way, how many languages DO you know/can you sing in?! You're SO multi-talented; I'm still learning Japanese and I CANNOT sing in Japanese FOR MY LIFE (I've tried...) Anyway. LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS. Wish I could understand the lyrics better, but THAT'S TOO BAD FOR ME. So glad to hear a new song from you, Raf. Hope you and yours are doing well out there in this overly chaotic world. Please stay safe.
Excuse me, who told you to be so sweet and wonderful? I can't accept this 🥺💞 Thank you so much for always leaving such lovely comments, I'm super happy to know you enjoyed!! I only know 2 languages fluently, but Japanese pronounciation is easier to pick up for native Korean speakers. It's so cool that you're learning a new language, rooting for you!! And I really appreciate you letting me introduce songs in different languages to you ㅠㅠ♡♡ Please stay safe, hope 2021 is and will continue to treat you kindly ♡
Words literally cannot describe how perfect this is AAAAAAAAAA I've once again been eagerly waiting for this to come out and per usual, my wig has been SNATCHED!! The amount of time and effort you've tirelessly worked to put this together was truly worth it and I'm absolutely in love with every aspect of this!!! This is going into my all time favourites from the queen 🙏🙏🙏 Your vocals are particularly so cunning and luscious in this song, the very definition of such delicious fine wine *chefs kiss* 👌👌👌 The whispery parts and the chorus give me such intense dokis and I'm falling in love over and over again 😩😩 The mix is just perfect as always, I'm no expert again but I'm your number one fan when it comes to your mixes (everything else as well) and you pulled through so hard just to make it sound so amazing, SUPER PROUD OF THE BBY!! Okay but the art and animation, GOD, I love this gorgeous webtoon style you've incorporated and you even put the extra effort to draw something new almost every frame, the eyes are always so mesmerizing to look at for both Lyra and Raf in the vid. Everything about the visuals are so big brained 😭😭😭 Catch me crying in real time™ from this perfection ❤️❤️❤️❤️ HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY TO THE LYRA AND ITS TIME TO GET LIT OVER THIS //HUFFS// A very well deserved and high quality gift this is :3cc
Shawowowon bae, you're so supportive and caring i'm 🥺 thank you for comforting me while I sobbed over audio, sitting with me in work calls, and offering your lovely ideas. I'm always so so excited when you think a frame looks good, or like my vocals for a preview, you're one of my biggest motivators ever and gosh I owe you, pho's on me for the next 20 years. Tl;dr - let's get married again please
Raf omg!!! I'm so glad to hear you sing in Korean! I was so surprised to see this appear on my subscriptions feed, knowing how lightweight and delicate Stella Jang's voice is, compared to your deep and powerful one. But you nailed it! I love how dramatic those vocals turned out to be. You have a voice made for broadway!! The way you put emphasis on some words and add you own color and vibratos in really made a unique color. I also loved the whispering parts, they were very soft. You have such a wide range, I'm captivated! We can hear that you had fun during the recording! And also, let's take a minute to appreciate this video. That aesthetic is superb and suits the song so much. I absolutely adored when you put black silhouettes, when you wrote "死" on Lyra's head and the accent red background on the important parts. That chess theme was also so cool. And as usual, the arts were gorgeous and super elegant. You're an all-rounder, able to do each step of the creation process of a cover wonderfully all by yourself and I'm totally impressed by your skills. Please never stop blessing us with your talents, we'll never have enough of you!
My gosh what a godsend of a comment! The dark tone of my voice vs. the elegance of the original was definitely an artistic choice I struggled with, so I'm very happy and honored that you enjoyed my final interpretation!! Thank you so much for your kind words, and for noticing the smaller details in the art/video. You commenting on and appreciating these things really inspires me to do add more in the future ♡
i cannot believe we’re watching this for free- I FEEL SO SPOILED TO BE ABLE TO HEAR SUCH A BEAUTIFUL VOICE, AND SEE SUCH AMAZING ARTWORK ALL AT THE SAME TIME
OKAY WHAT THE FRIGGLING FROGGLING BADDELING FUDGE!! I just check my youtube feed and I see this. Now I go in pure existential life crisis mode BECAUSE THE ULTIMATE GODDESS POSTED A NEW VIDEO. Then, I decide to read the comments to hype my ALREADY HYPED MORTAL SHELL. AND THEN I SEE THAT THIS IS AN ANIMATION?! I AM CRYING. CRYING OF HOLY FREAKING HAPPINESS. RAF YOU ARE MY HERO AND MY VILLAIN FOR DESTROYING MY HEART EVERY TIME WITH YOUR TALENT. The song (I never heard about it and I'll be looking forward to check the original AND some english translation because I need those to fully proceeds your masterpiece) has SUCH a beautiful flow to it! It gives some little tango-like vibes while staying somehow simple and catchy! You vOiCe of bloody course is super HHHHHHHHHOOOOOOTTTTT as usual, and GOSH you killed me with the intro line. I am shooketh and crying x2. I am always AMAZED by your language skills (English + Korean + Japanese singing abilities equals a beautiful combo). Your art is already so stunning and beautiful, but when you go animation time, we all know that things are getting on a whole new level. It's not getting real nor serious, because that's just where your works already are (and even more, if I may). I will have to reloop 10 times on slow mode, take notes of all details and do an ultimate searching to get all of the little things that you throw at fullspeed (I believe you are trying to destroy us from over-processing perfection and beauty at its core) and screech at it. Then, re-looping another 10 time just to thoroughly enjoy your video. THESE TWO LADS ARE LIFE. I'm sorry but all my brain can register are your cute doodles about that pool and Starbuck AHEM. Still wheeze from my dummy brain with that "oH iS tHaT hAmIlToN rElAtEd?? 👀" (no it's nOt yOu dUmMy) and I'm just hoping to see more of all of those lovely characters GOSH the Godmother looking at us with a mortally-seductive-and-dangerous glare vs the kinda-disturbing-pureness of CinderLyra (I love those names coming from the birthday hun's comment) are killing me EVERY TIME. This is just narratively STUNNING and I haven't even started my analysis. And of course your theme of "hero vs villain" is so interesting, as always!
Serious question - Lililan WHY are you such an excited sweetheart? this comment is a bundle of inspiration and motivation and it's so??? Contagious??? Always really happy to hear you enjoyed the concept and art, the time you take to notice little details and create in-depth analysis of my work is something I'm extremely excited and grateful for. Thank you very much for the love, and just for being such an amazing pal--ily mucho mucho
@@RafScrap Because destiny decided that I would have the great blessing to have you in my life AND BECAUSE YOUR TALENT'S CORE IS PURELY STUNNINGLY AMAZING ❤️
WOOOOOO I CAME HERE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE! THIS IS SO GOOD :DDDD Edit: Holy gosh your vocals are always so ethereal, and your MVs are top-notch, but this one knocked it out of the park! Amazing!!! I am in awe :)
I know I can’t say this enough but raf even after a year this cover was made. ITS SO AMAZING!! And Cinderella for ever! Always best fairy tale for visuals
I CAME AS SOON AS I HEARD (the notification) I am still in awe of the perfection that is your voice and absolutely fangirl every time you upload!!! This is exactly what I needed today QUEEN!!! How are you not a famous voice actress yet?!
All the best from Russia! It's so amazing that I can't put all my feelings into words! Such an incredible manner and power in the voice. I have been watching your channel for a long time, but only now I decide to write a comment. I'm really excited about the tremendous work you've done on the video and the song!!
AAHHH I AM IN LOVE!!! I know I always say your covers are amazing (because they are) but this one is so freaking good omg. I can't get over this. I just wanna get up and dance while listening to it on repeat! I can't wait to hear what other songs/covers you do in the future because omg your vocals are gorgeous and so is the art.
Your pfp always puts a smile on my face omg. Iimagining someone doing a little dance to my work is the sweetest thing, my heart feels warm. Thank you very much for your support and kind words
I think the moral here is that if Raf sings it, we'll all like it, regardless of what it is. Or maybe that's just me. The video is gorgeous, your art style goes so well with what you choose to sing! This is my first time hearing this song so naturally the original will now never compare haha. It reminds me of the song "Good 'n' Evil" from the Jekyll and Hyde musical, which is one of my favorite songs to jam to! All in all, astounding work as always ☺️💕
Hello, I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate every comment you've left so far, your words make me feel all warm and floaty inside. I love this song, so I'm honored you allowed me to introduce it to you -- even more that you enjoy this rendition of it! Thank you very much for your support ♡ ----also, I love the Jekyll & Hyde musical, In His Eyes in particular does something to me 🥺💞
Villain is one of my favorite song ever and you made it even cooler. I am as always so amazed at your mind and creavity!! I can't healp but notice at how much you improve on each of your upload, visually they were already stunning but I feel like you managed to improve and go above and beyond at each upload without keeping your so mesmerizing style. I also really cannot stop admiring how cool your imagery is! You always bring out references and symbolism in your video and artwork and I love it cause it makes me really feel like we can connect even more with your video cause we (the public) share the same references as you. Also your singing and mixing ?? STUNNING. Your voice was always amazing but it's really how you play with it to convey the emotion that really draws me to your cover. the way you chose to sing the "i'm killing you, maybe" is so nice and refreshing. You always have such unique and refreshing interpretation. I cannot not be fan of yours!
im late to this but oh my GOD I absolutely love everything about this??? your singing, the video editing, and especially the ART. it’s all absolutely incredible, I’m astonished :0
What an interesting game of chess my friend... “May we join the fun. No matter what side.” {We want to assist you in some way. (Even provide weapons if so desire)} [Interesting story... a broken soul... I would like to study this some more!] |Chaos... some much fun, but not to much. We still want them to recover so we can start it all over again, after all=)|
I Love this song and your interpretation @RafScrap,I will never get tired of this romantic tango,I will always like this type of song and many like it, I assure you
Not only did the song steal first place of my favorites but my heart too!!! It’s beautiful and it’s true art!! I love it sooooo much!!! I’m in love!❤️ Love your work!!
The only thing I can say is divine. It is so impossible to convey in words. This artstyle and your voice, oh my god. Well, this is the most magnificent thing i've seen and heard today!! (My English is very bad, sorry. Haha)
Every time i got several eargasm, i hope some day you will do some collaboration, like the one for Outer Sience, Splatter party and kuuso mesorigiwi, i love those 3 covers, and anyway I love your voice. Also the fact that every cover has an original touch, that make it different from the other people that make cover. Love your voice. Hope you will never lose the will to make songs. Wish everyone a good time
Thank you always for your lovely comments, you bring me a lot of joy and motivation. I will definitely be doing more collaborations in the future so please look forward to those.
@@RafScrap I'm really glad I made your day even a little bit better, I will surely look for your future video/covers. (also i'm already listening this for the 10th time lol, everytime you make me addicted to your voice, really) Wish you again a good day, and thanks for noticing me, it made me happy💙.
Yo the art is dope! Especially the vocals, might be a little late but seriously, gives me chills. its like some kind of mystic messenger kind of backstory that makes me go ooop- and the voice makes me swoon!!!
(I'm from another country and don't speak english very well, sorry if I said something wrong) I WANT TO SAY THAT WAS GREAT, OH MY GOD Your attempt to experiment with your voice (I mean you play with intonation, I don't know how to explain ;3;) was AMAZING. And the art is beautiful, my heart can't stand Thanks for this masterpiece~
I would not have known, your english is on pointe! But thank you for taking the time to express your feelings in a language isn't your first, your words and efforts mean a lot to me. Very happy to hear you enjoyed my vocal experimentations! ♡♡♡
This is BEYOND SPECTACULAR on so many levels!!! But…I’m honestly wondering why I’m not seeing more comments speculating and theorizing on the storyline portrayed here. One of the reasons I always love Raf’s videos is she always seems to portray fabulously deep and interesting twists on well-known stories. But they’re *so* deep and twisty I often feel like I don’t fully get what’s going on. I’d love to hear more people’s theories on the actual storyline. I can’t tell if the bloody, dark world is a) happening in real time, b) memories of the past, c) premonitions of the future (perhaps the “villain” telling Cinderella about her premonitions, or else predictions), d) possibilities they’re discussing shown in images, or e) an alternate universe where cinderella is the villain. (Like sort of Fran Bow esque where she keeps seeing this alternate universe). (I’m leaning most towards a) or c) but I really don’t know). It seems to me like, whatever it is, in those bloody images, Cinderella kills someone with the clock hand. It’s possible she gouges out the “villain’s” eye with a clock hand. It’s kinda hard to tell though, because it seems like her eye is already gone at the start of the story, as per it being on the table, and her eye being covered and stuff (sometimes its hard to tell if it’s gone or not because her hair’s in the way...but that’s probably the point). Maybe Cinderella gouged it out a long time ago and that’s why the “villain” sees her as the villain? Or maybe the eye has nothing to do with Cinderella’s villainy, and she did something else with the bloody clock hand. But the eye is clearly important as it’s one of the strongest images throughout. I can’t tell if, at the end of the video, we’re a) at a time in the past when her eye was still there, and it was red and creepy (and maybe that’s why Cinderella gouged it out, like a Tell Tale Heart sorta thing), b) her eye is somehow still there…even though it’s also on the table, c) she was given a demon eye, perhaps by making a demon contract herself, d) or else it’s kinda the anime thing where the eye is gone but the hole shines red creepily, or e) it was recently gouged out in the scene, but the bloody socket was drawn to look like the eye. There are some shots of blood on her face too. …It’s just really hard to tell the time frame of everything. ...Or maybe the eye isn’t even the “villain’s.” But if not, whose would it be? There are many shots of Cinderella with a bloody handprint on her ankle, missing a shoe, and she’s holding a bloody clock hand. I think understanding this is key to understanding this take on the story. I can definitely tell it’s a dark take on her losing her shoe, but I don’t know exactly what happened there. At first I thought someone tried to do something bad to her, grabbing her ankle, but there’s a brief shot of someone with their hand on her ankle looking really anguished. I have no clue who this person is. Are they the “villain”? The prince? I…I have no idea. But it feels important because it feels like that’s the actual scene where she loses it. Did Cinderella kill that person? If so, why? They didn’t look evil themselves…Why were they in anguish? Was their hand covered in bloody? Or were they pressing so hard into Cinderella's leg they made a mark? People were saying in other comments that they think the “villain” character is an evil fairy godmother, perhaps a demon she summoned. I do love the idea, and I do think the wings, and the magic in her hand at the end fit this well. There are shots of the carriage turning into a pumpkin that fit this as well. And then at the end it’s possible she’s the godmother giving her the slipper before the ball. I just don’t understand why the fairy godmother, even a demon version of her, would start off saying that she’s the villain? I guess maybe she would be trying to get cinderella to think carefully about whether she wants to do this, because maybe she’ll kill someone at the ball? But why would the fairy godmother kill? Steal her soul maybe? I dunno. But also why would she play chess and dance with her? Honestly my first thought was that she was the prince character. Her outfit looked kinda princely to me at first, there are swords behind her (which is a far more princely image than it is fairy-godmother-y), it seems like they’re at the castle, they play chess, and *dance* together. There’s also the words “The Waltz of Love” shown in French behind them at one point. Those things fit the prince, but not so much the fairy godmother. And then at the end the prince is maybe giving her back her shoe after it fell off. I like the idea of the prince being the villain. It feels very Into the Woods to me. I’ve also seen a twisted fairy tale prompt about Cinderella being sent to the ball to kill the prince, which I think fits this telling as well. I do think it could work for her to go to the ball and kill the prince instead of marry him in this storyline. But the other option, and the one I honestly think makes the most sense, is the evil stepmother. She’s the true villain of the Cinderella story. It makes sense that they would play chess together in their own house. It makes sense that the evil stepmother would have a conversation with her about “I’m the villain. Sure, yes. I know that’s what you think of me at least. But what if *you*’re actually the villain?” That honestly feels like a sort of conversation they could have in other versions of the story too. The mouse part is interesting too. At first I thought the “villain” killed Cinderella’s beloved mouse friend, but there’s a shot of her lovingly holding it, which makes me wonder if it was the other way around. Unless of course the “villain” was teasing the mouse before killing it. But her loving look seemed sincere. The “villain” being friends with the mouse doesn’t really make sense to me if she’s the godmother (maybe it’s before she turns it into a horse?), or prince…but it does if she’s the stepmother. Because I think that’s an interesting twist-we think she doesn’t care about little animals, but actually the mouse was *her* friend and cinderella was the one who killed it. I don’t know what bearing the mouse has on the larger plot though. (It was killed by a needle, not a clock hand. I assume this relates to the mice helping Cinderella create her dress in the original). The interpretation of the story I think makes the most sense is that, in this version, the stepmother keeps her from the ball, but also doesn’t go herself. Instead they play chess, and discuss topics of villainy, and dance together themselves. Because of course Cinderella is going “You’re a villain” if the stepmother truly kept her from the ball at this time. And it's a great opportunity to discuss the nature of their relationship. And it makes sense as the tipping point between them. And then, at the end of the night, before midnight (when she was supposed to be at/leave the ball) Cinderella has had enough, she grabs the clock hand and either gouges out the eye of, or else kills, the evil stepmother. (There’s a part that says “Dreams that rot in the carcass of a pumpkin” on screen. I think this fits the idea that the stepmother kept her from the ball, so the pumpkin rotted instead of becoming the carriage, as did her dreams of going to the ball). The timing of the clockhand kinda throws me though. Because she rips it off *before* midnight. I don’t think my theory above is a bad one, but I feel like that imagery fits a bit better if she is basically trying to stay with the prince, to stop time, to stop midnight from coming. If the clock never chimes, then the spells never break. Right? Edit: just rewatched it and found some more merit to the godmother idea. The shoe is *already* bloody when the “villain” puts it on her. It’s possible this takes place *after* the ball. Cinderella had some bad experience there, had to kill someone with the clock hand. She came back to accuse the godmother of being a villain, and the conversation proceeds from there. At the end she reveals she’s not a fairy but a demon. I don’t know if this truly fits or makes any sense at all. Usually with these types of videos, once I read someone else’s theory it feels so much more accurate, and very different from what I thought. But I just love this video so much and I am desperate for answers on the actual storyline here XD I absolutely love the visuals I see, and honestly any of these, and other interpretations would be amazing. I love twists on fairy tales, especially dark ones, and just seeing the image Cinderalla with a bloody clock hand and ankle alone is absolute chef’s kiss for me. If you made it to the end, thank you so much for reading all my ramblings!! Feel free to add your own theories in the replies!!
OMG, you're such an iconic legend. Your voice has this dark, vintage, Marilyn Monroe-like vibe to it that I'm literally obsessed with. Love you and your voice, and greetings from Germany
Absolutely beautiful...where have you been, my darling RafScrap? Your voice is enchanting and very soothing to listen to Thank you, please continue to make all the girls squirm with your luxurious voice~
Maybe we telepathically connected for a minute because i've been right there on the Stella Jang obsession train with you. I'm glad a fellow fan enjoyed my rendition of it, it means a lot ♡♡♡
"Again" implies you've come back to life once already, there is a mythical being in my comments section confirmed. Thank you very much for your support ♡
Ah, I changed my subscription right away after hearing the song! You are very good at Korean ㅠㅠ Even though I use a translator, I really like the tone and high notes ㅠㅠ I'm really envious of being bilingual! I hope you enjoy more!
Madly impressive! What an absolute masterpiece, both the video and the vocals have blown me away (especially the hushhhhh-es are so mesmerizing oh my god) , you deserve every praise and more!
HOW THE HELL HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS CREATOR BEFORE?!?! TH-cam, the fuck you doing not showing me this sooner?! Accidentally find this absolutely amazing and beautiful singing voice through My Lullaby cover. I'm in love
It's so good!!! I can't believe it took me so long to listen to this since the notification came it's amazing!!! You're as inspiring and talented as always and yet again I'm introduced to a song I didn't know and usually wouldn't hear just because you sang it and you did such an amazing job. I am in awe by your art and your hard work!! Have a nice day ^^
This was epic! Your voice work so well on this song and the animation was so epic! And the Cinderella theme for it was so good for this! You should totally do cendrillon because literally with your beautiful voice it be like every song became a fairy tale 😍
Don't mind me, I'm just squealing and squirming in a puddly mess on the floor because THE GODDESS HAS DONE IT AGAIN AHHHHHH o(*////▽////*)q
Screenshots truly did not do this video justice. I saw snippets of aesthetics and gorgeous shots as you worked on this video and asked for visual suggestions on what was, more often than not, already a _perfect_ still - you wittle talented perfectionist. But I am absolutely, positively, undeniably BLOWN AWAY seeing everything in motion, with smooth BEAUTIFUL transitions accompanied by your vocals to the snazzy beat. Every piece slotted into place, every cog clicked together so seamlessly - your art, your animation, your mix, your vocals. So much talent and creativity in one person (queen, goddess, SUPREME ALPHA BEING) and I have so many feelings for this masterpiece so ARE YOU READY RAF HERE WE GOOOOO-
Let's start with your voice. FFFFFFF your voice in this song just hits all the right notes (:D) for me. That first whispered VA line sent tingles up and down my spine, and then you followed that up with adlibs that built up more anticipation, and then your first breathy line just hit me like a ton of bricks and I was like "I'M IN LOVE I'M LOOPING THIS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE." For the rest of the song I was just absorbed in your chocolate smooth voice combined with the jazzy smooth instrumental like HRNNGH. IF A VOICE COULD STEP ON ME I WOULD WANT IT TO BE YOUR VOICE (but since it can't please step on me in person. Pls. I am laid on the ground for your steppage.) I rarely get to hear you sing in Korean and this is a treat, an absolute SNACC, AN ENTIRE MEAL THAT I AM HAPPILY DEVOURING AND BOPPING TO. This is the cake I wanted for my birthday, and I am enjoying every delicious slice and sound of it. Your adlibs bring a new depth to this song that truly takes it over the top, and the way you go from breathy seductive vibes (seduce me mawmi) in the beginning to powerful queen vibes (top me mawmi) at the chorus and back again has me in GOOSEBUMPS like what a true variety of eargasms. And I really really love the way you revised the end too, what a strong adlib of a line that really ends the song beautifully - along with that very last "Ah~" at the end. AhhhhhhhHHHHH. That is going haunt me, echo in my ears, as delicate as the bell chime that accompanied it and such a perfect last topping to this hauntingly gorgeous cover.
Visuals wise- the minute I saw that clock spin and click into place and with the chime I knew I was in trouble. So smooth, so satisfying, and such foreshadowing for the perfection of the rest of the video. And oh lord. Oh looooordddddie lord this art I just- I can't- who am I- what am I- HOW AM I?? I am blown away, mesmerized by each drawn character and their different poses. There is SO MUCH ART in this video and hello 911, yes I would like to report a crime, and that crime is that this isn't a webtoon because I needed this webtoon like YESTERDAY. (my favorite is still that waltz scene at 2:24 like I will salivate over this anatomy and how the image flows for the rest of my days) And oh lordie that scene at 1:56 where Godmother is delicately putting on Cinderlyra's shoe, and then clutching it at 2:01 with those SMOLDERING EYES
Aww, this is really cute 😭
literally SAME with the screenshotting thing
My man wrote a bible
If only I put the same amount of effort into my essays as this person put in this comment 😔
Ok i feel a lot of gay vibes from this comment
If you were a villain, I'd be a hero. Then I'll see you more often than anyone else.
Oof right in the heart 💘...okay, deal, you're officially my hero 🥺💞
Smooth
Ooh, sounds like a great secret yandere hero of a shoujo manga story!
Smooth
Joker is that you?? Lmao
Rafscrap after giving the girl her shoe back: now step on me with that
I would pin this if it wasn't Lyra's birthday. Absolutely yes
@@RafScrap lol
Okay but, the animation goes so well with the music, damn
Very happy to hear that, thank you very much for your comment ♡
Our queen has just succeeded in making me even gayer yet again
🤭🤭🤭 I feel proud
@@RafScrap as you should
Wut
Same, I've reached a level of pansexuality i didn't even know was possible.

You have a great voice to play a female villain. You have a lot of potential in your voice acting. Your villain voice acting to me is up there with other villains like Aku from Samurai Jack and Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls. I would hire you to voice my female villain in my story. Your voice sounds sadistic, cunning, seductive, and psychotic. Keep up the great work. :)
That sounds like an amazing compliment and a backhanded compliment wrapped in one package haha
Honored to be thought so highly of by you, thank you very much ♡ I'm definitely looking into doing more voice acting so please look forward to it - and I'd love to see any villains you create
@@RafScrap thank you. I'm very excited to do my story and have you voice my villain. BTW, do you have a discord server? I'd love to chat with you on details and stuff. :)
Oh, it’d be so wonderful if she had a Discord Server! I’m currently trying to get more of my friends into her music. You know, culture them. XD
Since their music tastes are vastly different than mine, they unfortunately haven’t had the pleasure of finding her like I did. It’d be very nice to find and discuss with others who greatly enjoy her work. 💗
@@LaceySings18 Lacey why are you an actual angel 🥺🥺💞 I don't foresee myself having the time to manage a discord server, but please feel free to hmu on discord!! Just let me know who you are if your display name is different, mine is RafScrap#5146
Raf has the Midas touch for sure. Everything she touches turns to absolute gold
I love the curse of King Midas and have often contemplated incorporating it into a video, I'm so happy and honored to find it here in this context aaa //// ♡ thank you very much for this comment!!!
@@RafScrap I should be the one who is honoured! Thank you for another amazing video and a lovely comment! That would be a really interesting topic for a video, wow, you have a really inspired mind! We're all looking forward to your future projects, whatever they may be!
i saw the notification and immediately yelled "YOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
I'm excited by your excited reaction haha, thank you very much for all your support always 💞💞
I am a simple man. I see RafScrap post, I click. I enjoy.
Ahhh always an honor, thank you very much ♡
Ma’am I believe you dropped this
-> 👑
I was picking it up to give to you, sir.
Full webtoon when?
Gods, I absolutely love this and while joking about the webtoon I kinda wish it were one
I really wanted to draw this in a webtoon-y style, super happy it translated!! Maybe some day I will attempt one..👀
Thank you for watching ♡
@@RafScrap yes please!! I love you're drawing 😍😍
@@RafScrap if l had money l would pay to read that
...good god, I don't need to be any more attracted to your voice, or either of these characters. I can't just play your music all day and lie in a pile of limbs and heartache!
"A pile of limbs and heartache" oh my god i'm laughing at how relatable and adorable this is, thank you very much for leaving such a sweet comment ♡
@@RafScrap Okay! So I know this was months ago, but I have this theory and I really want to ask about it. Was this inspired by the story of Cinderella? Some of the iconography - the pumpkins, the mice, the clock - remind me a LOT of the story, except to me, this reads like Cinderella's "Prince Charming" isn't as nice as it seems. Hence her taking revenge.
Maybe I'm reading too deep into it, but I've had this theory for MONTHS, and I just have to ask.
this needs to be used in a comic, show, animation, SOMETHING
Honored that you think so 😊💞 thank you!!
ok i'm not even finished with this yet but THE ARTSTYLE AND RAF'S AMAZING VOICE- time to listen to this on repeat
THE ANIMATION, THE ART, THE SINGING, THE EVERYTHING JUST SLAYS ME P L E A S E-
Your all caps is giving me an energy high, thank you so much for your enthusiasm ♡
Corrupt love story about the evil character bringing the good character into the bad side by tricking them into thinking they are truly evil? I think yes. Off topic though the video and vocals are absolutely wonderful! You never fail to impress ^^ Hope you have a good day or night aswell as everyone else here.
i thought it's more like "look what have you done to me, we both weren't tha saints at the end, right?" kind of story
You’re definitely killing someone with these absolutely amazing vocals
You'll never convict me 😈
@@RafScrap *I can as Death, confirm that you killed it*
ME AND MY SISTER WERE JUST TALKING ANOUT HOW YOU SHOULD SING THIS-
I'm extremely flattered that you and your sister talk about songs I should sing, thank you and please feel free to send suggestions my way anytime ♡
@@RafScrap would you still be taking suggestions by chance? :ooo
I love the villain's design. While it's simple in theory it looks striking and detailed while pairing perfectly with your voice.
Excuse you madam! Who said you could make villainy sound so damn good? You’re going to corrupt my poor (very susceptible) heart!
Oh, but that was the goal all along ♡
Your comments always put a huge involuntary smile on my face, thank you for your sweet words
@@RafScrap Goal accomplished then!
Hey, quid pro quo! Every time you pop up in my subscription feed I can’t help but grin, because I know I’m about to hear something amazing. 🖤
whenever i heard "i'm a villain" in this cover, i really felt it. most of these covers were good too to be honest, but no matter what, i love this one the most. the art is beautiful, and the voice just sounds- damn. that's how i tried singing the korean version (totally without failing)
If I heard your voice coming from the sea, I would simply follow it. 🥺🥺🥺🥺
I...please don't do that 😂😂😂
I--
I'm so glad this was recommended to me, I literally got chills (multiple times.)
Same this was the best recommendation ever lol
A twisted visual version of Cinderella with a gorgeous Evil godmother, combined with one of my fav songs "villain" by stella jang.
MMMH!!!🤤 a cover I didn't know I want. I SUPER LOVE YOUR VOICE😍
God, this is such an amazing cover, I nearly sequaled after hearing it. And now I'm just playing it on a loop. Of course, let's not forget about the art and animation, just, aaaaaaahhhh. You've done some really great work and it's nice to see you still growing improving and all.
So thank you for covering this!!!
Hello again you ♡ It's such an honor when someone who's been following my work sees progress, I'm pumped up!! My pleasure to create, and thank YOU always for your kind words and support
babe wake up Raf posted
Now go back to sleep for the next month or four
I'm Korean, and your Korean pronounciation in this song is spot on
Welcome back, Raf! It's always a treat hearing your dulcet tones and witnessing the glory that is your animations!
Gosh what gorgeous words, I have a soft spot for 'dulcet'. Thank you very much for the sweet comment ♡
Just spit-balling stories here.
A pretty and wealthy girl donates to charities, helps the poor, and is the kindest a person can be. But when a woman of the dark visits to speak with her, the woman points out that the girl has never sacrificed anything real to be good. Each kind acts only feeds into her desire to be considered a good person by everybody else.
As time passes the girl's precious charities fall apart, her popularity among the people falls, and even her own wealth declines. Her actions turn destructive as she desperately clings to the idea of herself as a good person. She starts indirectly hurting everyone around her to preserve that ego.
At the end she's left with nothing, clinging to the image of the woman who had given her that warning, calling her an evil witch and blaming her for every horrible thing. Calling the woman the villain and failing to see her own misdeeds.
So like my brains sees theory potential in the beautifully illustrated video especially with the scenes with the singular eyeball and the fact that out of the 2 wonderful characters shown, we're one visible eyeball short so I love those implications
Honestly, slaying EVERYTIME queen.
Woah that means a lot to me, especially coming from such a talented animator 🥺💞 thank you!!
If I am a villain for loving this, then GUARDS, TAKE ME AWAY!! :D
I do not know Korean at all, but this song was an absolute bop and sounded like it was just made for you and your sultry voice. I love the premise of the story (not knowing the actual storyline of the actual song, haha) AND EVERYTHING FLOWED SO FLAWLESSLY AND ASDFGHJKL I'm foaming at the mouth. I agree, this would make an epic Webtoon, but I don't expect one in the future, haha! The song is (amazingly) satisfying in itself.
By the way, how many languages DO you know/can you sing in?! You're SO multi-talented; I'm still learning Japanese and I CANNOT sing in Japanese FOR MY LIFE (I've tried...)
Anyway. LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS. Wish I could understand the lyrics better, but THAT'S TOO BAD FOR ME. So glad to hear a new song from you, Raf. Hope you and yours are doing well out there in this overly chaotic world. Please stay safe.
Excuse me, who told you to be so sweet and wonderful? I can't accept this 🥺💞
Thank you so much for always leaving such lovely comments, I'm super happy to know you enjoyed!! I only know 2 languages fluently, but Japanese pronounciation is easier to pick up for native Korean speakers. It's so cool that you're learning a new language, rooting for you!! And I really appreciate you letting me introduce songs in different languages to you ㅠㅠ♡♡
Please stay safe, hope 2021 is and will continue to treat you kindly ♡
Words literally cannot describe how perfect this is AAAAAAAAAA I've once again been eagerly waiting for this to come out and per usual, my wig has been SNATCHED!! The amount of time and effort you've tirelessly worked to put this together was truly worth it and I'm absolutely in love with every aspect of this!!! This is going into my all time favourites from the queen 🙏🙏🙏 Your vocals are particularly so cunning and luscious in this song, the very definition of such delicious fine wine *chefs kiss* 👌👌👌 The whispery parts and the chorus give me such intense dokis and I'm falling in love over and over again 😩😩 The mix is just perfect as always, I'm no expert again but I'm your number one fan when it comes to your mixes (everything else as well) and you pulled through so hard just to make it sound so amazing, SUPER PROUD OF THE BBY!! Okay but the art and animation, GOD, I love this gorgeous webtoon style you've incorporated and you even put the extra effort to draw something new almost every frame, the eyes are always so mesmerizing to look at for both Lyra and Raf in the vid. Everything about the visuals are so big brained 😭😭😭 Catch me crying in real time™ from this perfection ❤️❤️❤️❤️
HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY TO THE LYRA AND ITS TIME TO GET LIT OVER THIS //HUFFS// A very well deserved and high quality gift this is :3cc
Shawowowon bae, you're so supportive and caring i'm 🥺 thank you for comforting me while I sobbed over audio, sitting with me in work calls, and offering your lovely ideas. I'm always so so excited when you think a frame looks good, or like my vocals for a preview, you're one of my biggest motivators ever and gosh I owe you, pho's on me for the next 20 years.
Tl;dr - let's get married again please
The first line gives me chills every time how dare you
😂😂😂 I apologize
@@RafScrap omg i never got the notification you actually responded to me omg
@@RafScrap i just realized this song was posted 5 days after my birthday 😳 best birthday gift ever, even if it was a bit late 😳💕
The sheet and utter amount of femme fatale in your voice.... If I was just a bit more attracted to women than I am to men, I'd melt.
This comment is so sweet, I'll be the one melting. Thank you very much 💞💞
Raf omg!!! I'm so glad to hear you sing in Korean! I was so surprised to see this appear on my subscriptions feed, knowing how lightweight and delicate Stella Jang's voice is, compared to your deep and powerful one. But you nailed it! I love how dramatic those vocals turned out to be. You have a voice made for broadway!! The way you put emphasis on some words and add you own color and vibratos in really made a unique color. I also loved the whispering parts, they were very soft. You have such a wide range, I'm captivated! We can hear that you had fun during the recording!
And also, let's take a minute to appreciate this video. That aesthetic is superb and suits the song so much. I absolutely adored when you put black silhouettes, when you wrote "死" on Lyra's head and the accent red background on the important parts. That chess theme was also so cool. And as usual, the arts were gorgeous and super elegant. You're an all-rounder, able to do each step of the creation process of a cover wonderfully all by yourself and I'm totally impressed by your skills. Please never stop blessing us with your talents, we'll never have enough of you!
My gosh what a godsend of a comment! The dark tone of my voice vs. the elegance of the original was definitely an artistic choice I struggled with, so I'm very happy and honored that you enjoyed my final interpretation!! Thank you so much for your kind words, and for noticing the smaller details in the art/video. You commenting on and appreciating these things really inspires me to do add more in the future ♡
I CAME AS FAST AS I COULD YESSSSS
Woah first comment! Thank you very much for being so enthusiastically supportive, it means a lot to me
i cannot believe we’re watching this for free- I FEEL SO SPOILED TO BE ABLE TO HEAR SUCH A BEAUTIFUL VOICE, AND SEE SUCH AMAZING ARTWORK ALL AT THE SAME TIME
OKAY WHAT THE FRIGGLING FROGGLING BADDELING FUDGE!! I just check my youtube feed and I see this. Now I go in pure existential life crisis mode BECAUSE THE ULTIMATE GODDESS POSTED A NEW VIDEO. Then, I decide to read the comments to hype my ALREADY HYPED MORTAL SHELL. AND THEN I SEE THAT THIS IS AN ANIMATION?! I AM CRYING. CRYING OF HOLY FREAKING HAPPINESS. RAF YOU ARE MY HERO AND MY VILLAIN FOR DESTROYING MY HEART EVERY TIME WITH YOUR TALENT.
The song (I never heard about it and I'll be looking forward to check the original AND some english translation because I need those to fully proceeds your masterpiece) has SUCH a beautiful flow to it! It gives some little tango-like vibes while staying somehow simple and catchy! You vOiCe of bloody course is super HHHHHHHHHOOOOOOTTTTT as usual, and GOSH you killed me with the intro line. I am shooketh and crying x2. I am always AMAZED by your language skills (English + Korean + Japanese singing abilities equals a beautiful combo).
Your art is already so stunning and beautiful, but when you go animation time, we all know that things are getting on a whole new level. It's not getting real nor serious, because that's just where your works already are (and even more, if I may). I will have to reloop 10 times on slow mode, take notes of all details and do an ultimate searching to get all of the little things that you throw at fullspeed (I believe you are trying to destroy us from over-processing perfection and beauty at its core) and screech at it. Then, re-looping another 10 time just to thoroughly enjoy your video.
THESE TWO LADS ARE LIFE. I'm sorry but all my brain can register are your cute doodles about that pool and Starbuck AHEM. Still wheeze from my dummy brain with that "oH iS tHaT hAmIlToN rElAtEd?? 👀" (no it's nOt yOu dUmMy) and I'm just hoping to see more of all of those lovely characters GOSH the Godmother looking at us with a mortally-seductive-and-dangerous glare vs the kinda-disturbing-pureness of CinderLyra (I love those names coming from the birthday hun's comment) are killing me EVERY TIME. This is just narratively STUNNING and I haven't even started my analysis. And of course your theme of "hero vs villain" is so interesting, as always!
Serious question - Lililan WHY are you such an excited sweetheart? this comment is a bundle of inspiration and motivation and it's so??? Contagious??? Always really happy to hear you enjoyed the concept and art, the time you take to notice little details and create in-depth analysis of my work is something I'm extremely excited and grateful for. Thank you very much for the love, and just for being such an amazing pal--ily mucho mucho

I just wanna get up and dance while listening to it on repeat! I can't wait to hear what other songs/covers you do in the future because omg your vocals are gorgeous and so is the art.
Your pfp always puts a smile on my face omg. Iimagining someone doing a little dance to my work is the sweetest thing, my heart feels warm. Thank you very much for your support and kind words

What good timing for me! thank you for finding and watching, it means a lot to me ♡
Omgg, art style on point!!! Such a queen 👑👑👑
Very happy you enjoyed, thank you for your support ♡
I think the moral here is that if Raf sings it, we'll all like it, regardless of what it is. Or maybe that's just me. The video is gorgeous, your art style goes so well with what you choose to sing! This is my first time hearing this song so naturally the original will now never compare haha. It reminds me of the song "Good 'n' Evil" from the Jekyll and Hyde musical, which is one of my favorite songs to jam to! All in all, astounding work as always ☺️💕
Hello, I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate every comment you've left so far, your words make me feel all warm and floaty inside. I love this song, so I'm honored you allowed me to introduce it to you -- even more that you enjoy this rendition of it! Thank you very much for your support ♡
----also, I love the Jekyll & Hyde musical, In His Eyes in particular does something to me 🥺💞
Villain is one of my favorite song ever and you made it even cooler. I am as always so amazed at your mind and creavity!! I can't healp but notice at how much you improve on each of your upload, visually they were already stunning but I feel like you managed to improve and go above and beyond at each upload without keeping your so mesmerizing style. I also really cannot stop admiring how cool your imagery is! You always bring out references and symbolism in your video and artwork and I love it cause it makes me really feel like we can connect even more with your video cause we (the public) share the same references as you. Also your singing and mixing ?? STUNNING. Your voice was always amazing but it's really how you play with it to convey the emotion that really draws me to your cover. the way you chose to sing the "i'm killing you, maybe" is so nice and refreshing. You always have such unique and refreshing interpretation. I cannot not be fan of yours!
GOOD LORD RAFSCRAP, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS JUICE!!!
Your comments boost up my energy and motivation, thank you so much for this juice too 🥺💞
Well damn that's incredible. Remind me to come back here if I ever need some professional help on a project
im late to this but oh my GOD I absolutely love everything about this??? your singing, the video editing, and especially the ART. it’s all absolutely incredible, I’m astonished :0

Every time i got several eargasm, i hope some day you will do some collaboration, like the one for Outer Sience, Splatter party and kuuso mesorigiwi, i love those 3 covers, and anyway I love your voice.
Also the fact that every cover has an original touch, that make it different from the other people that make cover.
Love your voice. Hope you will never lose the will to make songs.
Wish everyone a good time
Thank you always for your lovely comments, you bring me a lot of joy and motivation. I will definitely be doing more collaborations in the future so please look forward to those.

This is BEYOND SPECTACULAR on so many levels!!!
But…I’m honestly wondering why I’m not seeing more comments speculating and theorizing on the storyline portrayed here. One of the reasons I always love Raf’s videos is she always seems to portray fabulously deep and interesting twists on well-known stories. But they’re *so* deep and twisty I often feel like I don’t fully get what’s going on. I’d love to hear more people’s theories on the actual storyline.
I can’t tell if the bloody, dark world is a) happening in real time, b) memories of the past, c) premonitions of the future (perhaps the “villain” telling Cinderella about her premonitions, or else predictions), d) possibilities they’re discussing shown in images, or e) an alternate universe where cinderella is the villain. (Like sort of Fran Bow esque where she keeps seeing this alternate universe). (I’m leaning most towards a) or c) but I really don’t know).
It seems to me like, whatever it is, in those bloody images, Cinderella kills someone with the clock hand. It’s possible she gouges out the “villain’s” eye with a clock hand. It’s kinda hard to tell though, because it seems like her eye is already gone at the start of the story, as per it being on the table, and her eye being covered and stuff (sometimes its hard to tell if it’s gone or not because her hair’s in the way...but that’s probably the point). Maybe Cinderella gouged it out a long time ago and that’s why the “villain” sees her as the villain? Or maybe the eye has nothing to do with Cinderella’s villainy, and she did something else with the bloody clock hand. But the eye is clearly important as it’s one of the strongest images throughout. I can’t tell if, at the end of the video, we’re a) at a time in the past when her eye was still there, and it was red and creepy (and maybe that’s why Cinderella gouged it out, like a Tell Tale Heart sorta thing), b) her eye is somehow still there…even though it’s also on the table, c) she was given a demon eye, perhaps by making a demon contract herself, d) or else it’s kinda the anime thing where the eye is gone but the hole shines red creepily, or e) it was recently gouged out in the scene, but the bloody socket was drawn to look like the eye. There are some shots of blood on her face too. …It’s just really hard to tell the time frame of everything.
...Or maybe the eye isn’t even the “villain’s.” But if not, whose would it be?
There are many shots of Cinderella with a bloody handprint on her ankle, missing a shoe, and she’s holding a bloody clock hand. I think understanding this is key to understanding this take on the story.
I can definitely tell it’s a dark take on her losing her shoe, but I don’t know exactly what happened there.
At first I thought someone tried to do something bad to her, grabbing her ankle, but there’s a brief shot of someone with their hand on her ankle looking really anguished. I have no clue who this person is. Are they the “villain”? The prince? I…I have no idea. But it feels important because it feels like that’s the actual scene where she loses it. Did Cinderella kill that person? If so, why? They didn’t look evil themselves…Why were they in anguish? Was their hand covered in bloody? Or were they pressing so hard into Cinderella's leg they made a mark?
People were saying in other comments that they think the “villain” character is an evil fairy godmother, perhaps a demon she summoned. I do love the idea, and I do think the wings, and the magic in her hand at the end fit this well. There are shots of the carriage turning into a pumpkin that fit this as well. And then at the end it’s possible she’s the godmother giving her the slipper before the ball.
I just don’t understand why the fairy godmother, even a demon version of her, would start off saying that she’s the villain? I guess maybe she would be trying to get cinderella to think carefully about whether she wants to do this, because maybe she’ll kill someone at the ball? But why would the fairy godmother kill? Steal her soul maybe? I dunno. But also why would she play chess and dance with her?
Honestly my first thought was that she was the prince character. Her outfit looked kinda princely to me at first, there are swords behind her (which is a far more princely image than it is fairy-godmother-y), it seems like they’re at the castle, they play chess, and *dance* together. There’s also the words “The Waltz of Love” shown in French behind them at one point. Those things fit the prince, but not so much the fairy godmother. And then at the end the prince is maybe giving her back her shoe after it fell off.
I like the idea of the prince being the villain. It feels very Into the Woods to me. I’ve also seen a twisted fairy tale prompt about Cinderella being sent to the ball to kill the prince, which I think fits this telling as well. I do think it could work for her to go to the ball and kill the prince instead of marry him in this storyline.
But the other option, and the one I honestly think makes the most sense, is the evil stepmother. She’s the true villain of the Cinderella story. It makes sense that they would play chess together in their own house. It makes sense that the evil stepmother would have a conversation with her about “I’m the villain. Sure, yes. I know that’s what you think of me at least. But what if *you*’re actually the villain?” That honestly feels like a sort of conversation they could have in other versions of the story too.
The mouse part is interesting too. At first I thought the “villain” killed Cinderella’s beloved mouse friend, but there’s a shot of her lovingly holding it, which makes me wonder if it was the other way around. Unless of course the “villain” was teasing the mouse before killing it. But her loving look seemed sincere. The “villain” being friends with the mouse doesn’t really make sense to me if she’s the godmother (maybe it’s before she turns it into a horse?), or prince…but it does if she’s the stepmother. Because I think that’s an interesting twist-we think she doesn’t care about little animals, but actually the mouse was *her* friend and cinderella was the one who killed it. I don’t know what bearing the mouse has on the larger plot though. (It was killed by a needle, not a clock hand. I assume this relates to the mice helping Cinderella create her dress in the original).
The interpretation of the story I think makes the most sense is that, in this version, the stepmother keeps her from the ball, but also doesn’t go herself. Instead they play chess, and discuss topics of villainy, and dance together themselves. Because of course Cinderella is going “You’re a villain” if the stepmother truly kept her from the ball at this time. And it's a great opportunity to discuss the nature of their relationship. And it makes sense as the tipping point between them.
And then, at the end of the night, before midnight (when she was supposed to be at/leave the ball) Cinderella has had enough, she grabs the clock hand and either gouges out the eye of, or else kills, the evil stepmother.
(There’s a part that says “Dreams that rot in the carcass of a pumpkin” on screen. I think this fits the idea that the stepmother kept her from the ball, so the pumpkin rotted instead of becoming the carriage, as did her dreams of going to the ball).
The timing of the clockhand kinda throws me though. Because she rips it off *before* midnight. I don’t think my theory above is a bad one, but I feel like that imagery fits a bit better if she is basically trying to stay with the prince, to stop time, to stop midnight from coming. If the clock never chimes, then the spells never break. Right?
Edit: just rewatched it and found some more merit to the godmother idea.
The shoe is *already* bloody when the “villain” puts it on her.
It’s possible this takes place *after* the ball. Cinderella had some bad experience there, had to kill someone with the clock hand. She came back to accuse the godmother of being a villain, and the conversation proceeds from there. At the end she reveals she’s not a fairy but a demon.
I don’t know if this truly fits or makes any sense at all. Usually with these types of videos, once I read someone else’s theory it feels so much more accurate, and very different from what I thought. But I just love this video so much and I am desperate for answers on the actual storyline here XD
I absolutely love the visuals I see, and honestly any of these, and other interpretations would be amazing. I love twists on fairy tales, especially dark ones, and just seeing the image Cinderalla with a bloody clock hand and ankle alone is absolute chef’s kiss for me.
If you made it to the end, thank you so much for reading all my ramblings!!
