SNOW WHITE WAS THE RIGHTFUL QUEEN AND SHE NEVER TOOK HER THRONE BACK

[partywithponies]

Her father was the king, right? So when her father died, his firstborn should have taken the throne, not his WIFE. LINES OF SUCCESSION DON’T WORK THAT WAY.

Snow White isn’t a real princess, and the Evil Queen isn’t a real queen. Snow is a child monarch, and the Evil Queen is just the queen’s guardian, possibly her adviser until she’s old enough to take full power.

Oh my GOD, what if Snow White becoming more beautiful than her wasn’t the main reason the “queen” wanted her killed, it was just that Snow becoming more beautiful meant she was growing up and would soon take her rightful throne. Snow’s 14, and in era the film appears to be set, she’d take the throne at around age 16, or possibly even 15. THE EVIL QUEEN ATTEMPTED TO COMMIT REGICIDE AND MAKE IT LOOK LIKE AN ACCIDENT IN AN ATTEMPT TO STEAL THE THRONE

And then at the end of the film, the evil queen’s dead, and instead of going back to the castle and claiming her rightful throne, Snow rides off with Princey McDeadgirlsmooch to his kingdom!

I’d accept that the “queen” had lied to Snow all these years and she didn’t know that she was the real queen this whole time, but Snow! She’s dead now! Even if you weren’t queen before, you sure as heck are now! You have no siblings Snow, who else is going to run the country?? You can’t LEAVE!

THIS IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY SNOW

[partywithponies]

When you look at it this way it’s no wonder the huntsman was unable to go through with killing Snow White. Not only had he been asked to murder the most innocent and trusting child in the kingdom in cold blood, he’d been asked to murder his own monarch. 

Of course he couldn’t do it! He’d have to live with the guilt, and not only that, but when you weigh up the repercussions of the “queen” finding out he didn’t do it against the repercussions of the rest of the kingdom finding out he did, I know which one I’d rather risk.

[fruitcakefiona]

Regarding Snow White going off to Prince Necrophile’s kingdom instead of reclaiming her own, I’d argue that she had no idea that her stepmother was dead. How could she possibly know that the old hag that had given her the apple was the Evil Queen in disguise? She didn’t! So at the end of the movie she probably thinks that the Evil Queen is still alive and sitting on the throne and that’s why she doesn’t go back. But that just means we need a scene where Snow White returns to her own kingdom and reclaims her throne. It’s the only way to do Snow White justice.

the thing about Tangled is that this is a story geared towards little girls (even if it's "fun for the whole family," it's a disney princess movie, it's geared towards little girls), and it says, "here is a girl who is naive and doesn't know anything about the 'Real World' or how to navigate it safely and correctly. now pay close attention: the good guys are the ones who help her grow and explore new things while still respecting her own perspective and feelings, not making her feel stupid. the bad guys are the ones who tell her that she is too weak/immature/naive to do the things she wants to do, because she is fragile and needs protecting." and I watched this when I was nine years old and it resonated deep in a part of me that I couldn't articulate with words yet.

Title: The Pipe of Freedom Artist: Thomas Stuart Smith (Scottish, 1815-1869) Date: 1869 Genre: portraiture, genre art Medium: oil on canvas Dimensions: 106.8 cm (42 in) high x 78.7 cm (30.9 in) wide Location: Stirling Smith Museum and Art Gallery, Stirling, Scotland, UK

Thomas Stuart Smith painted this striking portrait to celebrate the abolition of slavery in both the UK and the US. The man portrayed is enjoying a pipe at his leisure, symbolizing his freedom from enforced labor. Behind him, a yellow notice announcing a slave auction has been partially covered up by a copy of the Emancipation Proclamation.

Title: Gertrude Vernon, Lady Agnew of Lochnaw (1864-1932) Artist: John Singer Sargent (American [active in England], 1856-1925) Date: 1892 Genre: portraiture Medium: oil on canvas Dimensions: 127 cm (50 in) high x 101 cm (39.8 in) wide Location: National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK

Exhibited at the Royal Academy the year after its completion, this painting was instrumental in winning John Singer Sargent the position of the UK's premier high society portraitist.

The subject of the painting is Gertrude Vernon, an Englishwoman who in 1889 had married Sir Andrew Agnew, Baronet of Lochnaw Castle. Singer Sargent depicted Lady Agnew in three-quarters view, wearing a white gown with a mauve sash and backed by a wall of blue silk. Her portrait's fame made Lady Agnew a prominent figure in British society, although her later years would be marred by ill health and financial difficulties.

德化白瓷 Déhuà báicí/dehua white porcelain

Dehua County, located in Quanzhou, Fujian, China, is renowned for its white porcelain.

Its kilns flourished during the Tang (618-907 CE) and Song dynasties(960–1279 CE), peaked in the Yuan and Ming periods, and remain famous today, particularly for their white porcelain. Fired at high temperatures, the unglazed porcelain exhibits a smooth, jade-like texture, appearing crystal-clear and pure white.

Dehua white porcelain is renowned for its "high-toughness thin-bodied高韧薄胎瓷衣" technique, a breakthrough in ceramic craftsmanship that achieves exceptional strength in ultra-thin structures. This technology enables the creation of porcelain pieces with egg-shell thinness (0.2–0.5 mm) while maintaining remarkable durability, making it a hallmark of Dehua's artistry. However, not every piece of Dehua white porcelain employs this technique, as it involves significantly higher production costs.

PORCELAIN?!

[saxifraga-x-urbium]

so in the victoria & Albert museum's huge ceramics gallery which people never seem to know about, there was a temporary exhibition by a 4th generation porcelain worker from dehua & some of her work v which particularly took me out were these books - books which looked as if they had hand pressed paper pages with ragged edges, being tugged open and ruffled by the breeze. they looked like a film still. they looked light as air. there was a drapery of fine silk fluttering as well. ALL PORCELAIN.
