Dark Fairy tale ideas!! Part 3
✧ Cinderella's stepsisters weren't cruel. They were terrified. They'd seen what happened to the last girl the fairy godmother "helped."
✧ "The woodcutter always arrives just in time. Always. Have you ever asked yourself why he's always so close to the woods?"
✧ Peter Pan doesn't take children to Neverland. Children who are about to die wake up there. Make of that what you will.
✧ "She's been kissing frogs her whole life. Not looking for a prince. Looking for whatever cursed them."
✧ The Evil Queen's mirror was enchanted to say "you" no matter who asked. She never knew. She was always the fairest. The mirror just couldn't tell her that.
✧ Goldilocks wasn't lost. She was casing the place. She'd done it before. She'll do it again.
✧ "The spinning wheel doesn't curse you. It just shows you the thread you were already on. Sleeping Beauty just didn't like what she saw."
✧ The Little Mermaid got legs. She hated every second of it. She went back. The sea didn't recognize her anymore.
✧ Rumplestiltskin has a room full of firstborn names and not a single child. He just wanted someone to know his.
✧ "There are seven ravens circling your house. You have seven brothers. Do the math."
✧ Cinderella left the slipper on purpose. She knew exactly who would come looking. She'd been planning this since she was nine.
✧ The enchanted rose wasn't counting down the Beast's time to find love. It was counting down until something worse came to collect what it was owed.
✧ "The third wish is always the one that undoes you. Not because of the rules. Because by the third wish, you finally know what you actually want. And that's the most dangerous thing of all."
✧ Mother Gothel didn't steal Rapunzel. She won her. And the witch who lost her has been looking ever since.
✧ The glass coffin had a lock on the inside.
✧ "Every fairy tale has a forest. Every forest has something that does not sleep. Every story where the hero survives--they made a deal in those woods. Every single one."
✧ The wolf ate grandmother because grandmother asked him to.
✧ Jack didn't steal from the giant. He was reclaiming something. His family has been climbing that beanstalk for generations.
