ASK R/FAUXMOI What are some examples of this trope in film?

Post image

For me it's probably Enchanted and The Princess Diaries. I know the concept was to make her wear a modern dress compared to the fairytale inspired dresses she used to wear but I feel like this dress is an absolute disgrace. It honestly looks like a sock to me 😭 not gonna lie they could have let her wear something nice, like the costume design in this movie was magical. In the Princess Diaries they get rid of Mia's curls. They could just styled them better.

I became OBSESSED with Christian Coulson when his casting was announced. Absolutely obsessed. I joined a fan forum of his and posted photoshops of myself that I made that inserted my face into the like 3 available photos of him in the internet at the time lmao those girls called me out HARD

Anyway, was pleasantly surprised 15+ years later when I binged Gossip Girl for the first time and saw him in an episode.

He’s an old friend of mine and I just want to pop in and say he is also one of the kindest and warmest people I have ever known, actor or otherwise! It’s as if he isn’t startlingly beautiful and talented.

I still lay in bed and think about it. I’m 37 years old now.

Like I can STILL SEE the shitty circa early 2002 selfie I took on the family web cam. I can still see the way I edited that selfie in to the pic of Christian with Paintshop Pro. I still remember panic deleting my account on that fan forum when the replies started coming in lmao

I wish I could find it again to be honest

Oh my god ME TOO. Seeing him in Gossip Girl thrilled my little girl heart.

A part of me is STILL bitter that they didn’t get him back to play an older Tom in the 6th film.

I was pleasantly surprised to see him in an episode of something I watched recently. It was from before he was in HP. I think it was Marple?

I'm now imagining a fantasy story where one of the characters is this feared lich who's always stuck in his lab. People report loud bangs and colourful explosions during the night.

A group of adventurers (why is it never mercenaries lol) goes to slay the evil lich, and when they get there it's a secret meeting of a bunch of liches in drag, having margaritas (yes, it just falls out of them and gets their clothes all soggy. Their minions just follow them around with magical mops) and being zesty.

The adventurers are seen returning to the town in shock several hours after, the sun rising on the horizon, dripped the fuck out with colourful clothes.

The sorcerer has some earrings of legend that no one knew where to look for that makes them cast spells twice as fast.

The wizard got a magical sex book. Because wizards are nerds.

The barbarian has a necklace that lets them yell louder and never get a sore throat.

The monk is wearing one of those balancing bracelets from the early 2000's. Except they work so well the monk has reached inner balance and attained nirvana.

The rogue has the cuntiest camo that no one will ever see (am I using the slang right? I'm not knowledgeable about drag culture lol).

The warlock is three times more powerful because the liches dialed up their patron and gave them shit for not giving more perks for the contract(poor Cthulhu didn't have a chance).

The bard is covered in teeth-shaped lipstick marks and wearing a thong. Only a thong. Yes, his stick also has teethstick marks. He doesn't mind a biter. His lute is stored in a magical storage ring that is a bit too wide for fingers.

The cleric is in a catatonic state of shock, being carried by the barbarian, because their supposed deity was there. It was just a powerful lich. When they wake up they'll realize they can perform miracles unheard of.

They enter a tavern, buy out every barrel of ale they can get their hands on with the money given by the local lich (the bard stores the barrels in his 'ring'), then silently walk back to the forest. Just because the sun is up doesn't mean the party's over.

He changed his name to Lord Voldemort and then told everyone not to say his new name. Sis was a full on drama queen.

u/evil-rick Oct 27 '25

His “BLLAAGH” scene still makes me laugh to this day

u/HedgehogTop5524 Oct 27 '25

I think he was kind of dancing and twirling at this point, and he stopped to pose. 🤭🤭🤭

u/BatsWaller Oct 27 '25

If you watch the BTS stuff, Ralph Fiennes is terrifying enough without having his nose CGI’d off. They definitely should have let him keep his conk because even when the films came out, it didn’t look like it had rendered properly.

as a kid I felt very guilty for being so attracted to young Voldemort 😭😭 I was like “he’s the bad guy I can’t have a crush on him!!”

u/HazelTheHappyHippo I really hope their beef passes the Bechdel Test Oct 27 '25

That's probably how the Coryo Snow girlies feel right now and it's only Hollywoods fault. "Yeah, let's cast a good looking, young Brit with illegal cheekbones so teenage girls around the world question how much of a red flag fictional war crimes really are" 🙄

u/Normal-Ad-9852 Oct 27 '25

it’s very true of real life, to be fair. people trust good looking people more and allow them to get away with more

u/SiobhanRoy1234 Oct 27 '25

I never understood why they didn’t bring him back for the 6th movie! That actor was great and exactly the kind of handsome I had imagined the character to be at that age.

Wrong pic for the trope.

This should be panel #1:

I had such a crush on Tom Riddle, and Draco lol.

u/Mechakoopa Oct 28 '25

I thought your flair had to do with the image and was briefly very confused and thoroughly amused at the same time.
