As much as we all love this sad skrunkly wet cat, let us not forget that he is, at heart, a stone-cold badass

You know the Grimm version of Snow White makes more sense than most versions if only because in that version Snow White was like 7 years old.

what-even-is-thiss

Like imagine you find a 7 year old in the woods and she’s like my mom is gonna kill me because I’m prettier than her and she’s not kidding. You know this queen is that sort of person. So you and your roommates adopt the kid and tell her don’t talk to strangers. And she keeps talking to strangers and getting poison combs stuck in her hair and whatnot.

Like yeah that’s kinda stupid but also she’s seven. She likes apples.

what-even-is-thiss

Also imagine it from the hunter’s perspective. The queen tells you this bitch is prettier than me I need you to take her out in the woods and kill her. And then you see who you’re supposed to kill and it’s a 2nd grader. Like how are you supposed to react to that sort of situation? Kill a human child? No. Because you’re not a brainless evil minion you’re just some guy dealing with a cartoonishly evil monarch. Of course you let her go.

Bad look for the Prince of course. Even if she did age while she was in that glass case. He saw a dead woman and just decided to keep her. And once she stopped being dead he was like we’re married now

He did cause the evil queen to dance to death in red hot shoes though. That was kinda cool.

With the acknowledgement that I'm grasping at straws, is it ever directly confirmed that the Prince wasn't also 7?

thedupshadove

See, I think that still works.

You are the guardsman assigned to protect the eight-year-old Prince. You are currently in the middle of the forest because he absolutely had his heart set on "going hunting", and the royal second-grader should definitely not be traipsing around the woods on his own. You let him go a little on ahead and he comes running back talking about how there's a dead girl in the clearing and there's no-one else around and he wants to take her home because she's really pretty, Hans, and she's all alone!

You let him drag you to said clearing and okay, that is one angelic-looking dead child alright, and on the one hand the quality of her clothes and the craftsmanship on the coffin (who builds a see-through coffin?) speak to potential Consequences if you simply carry her off, but also for the amount of vines that have grown on the coffin she looks extraordinarily un-decayed, so you should probably get the court alchemist's opinion on that, and there's no way he's going to come all the way out here in his embroidered velvet curly-shoes. And also this kid is technically assigned by God as your natural superior, or something.

So fine. You hoist the coffin onto your shoulder (it's not like the Prince can do it. He's eight.) and head back toward the castle, Prince chattering blithely all the way. And then you turn your ankle on a rock and suddenly there's a thump and a cough and a lot of shouting from inside the coffin and you have now become a key player in a tense political incident with the next kingdom over.

You should probably ask for a raise.

for some reason middle aged comic fans coming on the internet to defend their decision as to why they thought a twelve year old should have died or lived is so funny 😭😭😭

"the problem with booktok is that it romanticizes toxic relationships blah blah blah" NO!! the problem with booktok is that its a community that talks about, produces, and consumes published novels the same way people talk about, produce, and consume fanfiction. every issue with booktok (lowbrow subject matter, oftentimes poor writing and editing, a disproportionately heavy focus on erotica, books described via tropes (tags) instead of plot synopses, thinly-veiled misogyny) boils down to that. i don't give a single solitary shit if colleen hoover is writing toxic step-sibling incest romance! i've come across weirder shit this week on ao3!! what i do care about is the fact it reads exactly like an unbetaed oc-centric slash fic and this woman is expecting us to pay upwards of $20 for a copy!! girl i can read mid-tier fic for free any time i want i don't need you!!

Has anybody else noticed that it seems that nobody tells children fairytales anymore? It seems that they only read them books or have them watch movies; oral storytelling appears to have vanished. Perhaps it’s just in my area, but it has quite literally been years since my friends, family, and I have met a child who has even referenced a fairytale character that didn’t appear in a Disney movie.

When I was little, my sister would sew before she went to bed. She’d make up stories for me as she worked–one in particular about a walking, talking cat named Calico who went on adventures, painted pictures, and eventually fell in with a pirate-hunting merchant ship captain named Martin (after my own cat).

Those stories were a lot of what got me into writing, but they were also incredibly fun. Telling kids stories is awesome and we should all do ut more often.

Not only that, but kids yearn for oral tradition! With my first grade class we would have a tea party for their birthdays or any particularly special day, and during that time when we had our tea and shortbread cookies we would play this game called “How Goes?”

I would ask them in a very English accent what happened on their way to tea, saying “So-and-so, how goes?”

And they would launch into this dramatic account about the CRAZY STUFF that happened (all untrue but they were learning to tell engaging narratives and patterns and order of events and such)

Then after I would tell them a fairytale just based on memory, but a lot of times I would retell it to suit my fancy or make it a little more kindly (because that’s something I always do, make the stories a little more happy, a little more kind). Anyhow, they LOVED IT. And every time we had tea, I would tell a different tale because we never repeated the stories.

Furthermore, one day they decided to make up their own story based on a classmate with quite finicky shoes titled “The Boy Whose Shoes Wouldn’t Come Off.” I wrote it down for them, but they ultimately decided the order of things and what happened and the ending.

Storytelling is a magical experience that is well-loved and precious, and we should very much endeavor to continue the tradition however we can!
