it’s okay to have bad days. it’s okay to relapse. you’re not failing, you’re not a bad person, and you can still reach out for help. it’s not your fault. take whatever steps you need to take to help yourself get back on track.

A good thing to keep in mind when analizing fairy tales is the idea that “actually, your outsides DO match your insides, because if you’re ugly, deformed or disabled, it’s God’s punishment for being a terrible person.”

This idea was extremely persistent in western literature and lasted well into the 20th century. The idea of not being able to judge books by their covers is a pretty modern concept.

And if you’re wondering about Beauty and the Beast, the original* story wasn’t saying “don’t judge books by their covers.” The moral was closer to “don’t break your promises (doesn’t matter if your dad just died and you’d like to attend the funeral, don’t break your God damn promises.)”

Love at first sight makes a lot more sense when you can tell someone is a good person just by looking at them. Like, it’s not a coincidence that the most beautiful girl in the village was also the one kind enough to fall in love with the Beast. Cinderella’s stepsisters are ugly because they are evil. The Evil Queen isn’t just being vain, Snow White being fairer than her is a legitimate threat, and obviously, as her machinations to get rid of Snow White get more and more twisted, so does she. And this can happen in reverse as well. The Plain Princess is a story of a princess who is plain, selfish, and lazy. Scared that their daughter is plain, her parents send her to fairy godmother bootcamp, where she learns the value of hardwork, kindness, and becomes more beautiful.

I have never heard a fairy tale that doesn’t function on the beauty = goodness logic. So be aware of it when adapting a fairy tale, because if you aren’t using this logic yourself and you don’t replace this logic with something, a lot of your characters get their motivations reduced to “because we’re referencing this fairy tale and they did it in that one.”

*the oldest version I have found. If you are unfamiliar with the less Disney versions of literally any fairy tale Beauty and the Beast then I would be overjoyed to tell you.

ya’ll are wrong. the two types of writers are really “i will talk about this and blog about it and make sixteen thought-out pages where i explore a single character point and i’ve written a novella on the backstory of another and actually involve others in my process”

and “if i so much as breathe about this before it’s ready and done, the story dies because it thinks i already told it”

Asking “why are you depressed, life is so beautiful!” Is like asking “why do you have asthma, there’s so much air!”
