Lucy pulled her arms tighter against his torso, hands gripping tighter into the fabric of his shirt as she listened to Natsu breathe out a soft hum. The words were there, everything she needed to say in a simple sentence that she wanted to show him.

But it clogged at the bottom of her throat. Her lips remained sealed together, not moving as her mind echoed them louder as he smoothed down her blonde hair. It felt right. Yet, she couldn’t push it out. The fear in her gut pulling it back down before she could spew it up in a nervous jumble.

Her brown eyes prickled with tears she refused to shed as her heart hammered in her chest. She had never imagined it would be so hard to tell someone that she loved them. And she feared that she never could.

In medieval culture, an event like a royal christening is not a private party; it’s the public social event of the year. To not invite any person of rank to such an event is a deadly insult.

Maleficent is certainly someone you wouldn’t want at a party, but she’s also someone powerful enough that only a fool would ever dare treat her with such blatant disrespect. The only way the King and Queen could possibly have gotten away with not inviting Maleficent was to not invite any of the fairies at all; inviting the other fairies and excluding her is explicitly taking sides in the conflict between the fairy factions.

Which means they made themselves her sworn enemies, and she responded by treating them as such from then on. If you actually get into analyzing the social dynamics of the scene, it’s very clear that Maleficent was willing to show mercy at first by giving the King and Queen a chance to apologize for their disrespect to her. She doesn’t curse Aurora until after she gives them that chance and they throw it back in her face with further disrespect.

And yeah, if the King and Queen had done the properly respectful thing and invited her, Maleficent would have given Aurora a scary awesome present. Moreover so would the other fairies, because at that point both sides would be using it as an opportunity to show off and one-up each other. What they gave her before Maleficent showed up was basically just trivial party favors by fairy standards.

How do you know so much about the social dynamics of medieval fairies

I love seeing this come around and it touches on some of my favorite points.

Growing up I had a book of these types of fairy tales, and in the book I have the bad fairy wasn’t purposefully not invited. Her invitation got misplaced. I’m not sure if that’s true of the original Sleeping Beauty or not, but having this be an intentional move in the Disney movie makes a huge difference on Maleficent’s character and really does give her sound motive for her actions.

Furthermore, I’d like to note that while the queen does later ask Maleficent, “Then you aren’t offended, your Excellency?”, the King and Queen don’t say anything else to say that Maleficent was purposefully excluded. It’s Merryweather who does. Merryweather shouldn’t have had anything to do with the invitation process, shouldn’t have any control on who gets excluded, and shouldn’t know what the King and Queen’s intentions were.

And this is really important to me because anyone who’s seen the movie should know that Aurora isn’t the protagonist. Prince Philip isn’t the protagonist. The three good fairies are the protagonists. They are the ones who pissed off Maleficent from the start, they are the ones to take the active roles in the story, they rescue the prince and use their magic + prince to then rescue the princess. And I just. I really love how important they are. They aren’t your usual protag group at all and I love them.
