y'know, i've been thinking lately
as someone who's been obsessed with princesses ever since she was a kid i love butch knights, it's a given
butttt truthfully i've always preferred butch villains maybe it's the opposites attract, who knows!
the slowburn of a femme princess being held for ransom in the butch villain's castle, the way the butch villain sees the femme princess at first as nothing more than leverage??? how the femme princess attempts a one-man prisonbreak (and fails comically)??? how the two eventually come to fall for the other and femme princess goes "oh, i kind of prefer it here"???????
bonus points if before kidnapping femme princess butch villain infiltrates her ball under a fake persona and the two share a lovely conversation before the butch villain lures the femme princess out to the secluded (and conveniently unguarded) moonlit castle gardens
anyways, point is this is a safe space for evil/villainous butches (I love y'all <3)
