I have just...never wanted to Violently Fight any characters more than I do Fairy Godmother, Belle and Beast? Like, Fairy Godmother’s fucking HYPOCRISY. She was totally fine with Mal’s decision to never bring the barrier down ever, and then at the end she hands Ben the wand with this fierce smile-and-nod like, ‘I’m so proud of you, be strong!’ as if she was on board with the idea from the start WHICH SHE WASN’T. She’s so sing-song all the time, she’s supposed to be teaching goodness class but she ignores everything from her own daughter’s problems to the literal prison on her doorstep. If anything sums up her attitude, it’s the way she accepts Jay’s ‘correct’ answer to a goodness problem while ignoring the fact that he forced Carlos’ hand down in order to answer first. Fuck her.
Belle. Every time I look at her I want to smack her stupid face. The way she looks so Upset and Worried and Squicked by every situation all the time. WHERE ARE YOUR GUTS, woman??? Why are you so SPINELESS??? She’s just the epitome of that person who, like, sees a starving beggar who is starving because she and her husband slashed the country’s welfare system and now she’s like, ‘eww, that beggar is smelly, how upsetting.’
And BEAST. Honestly he’s a real DILF, which I just find viscerally uncomfortable because THAT’S HOW HE DOES IT, he looks all dignified and wise and statesmanlike and sort of fatherly and cuddly as he says things like, ‘we have no option but to lock up innocent children forever’ and that’s how he gets away with it. He tells his own son to his face that everything is his fault; when Ben reminds him that he said ‘follow your heart and believe in yourself’ or something like that Beast is like, ‘did I??’ because God forbid Ben take anything he said and use it as a source of strength.
And then the NERVE of these three adults looking at Mal like, ‘what do we do?’ I DON’T FUCKING KNOW? ALL THESE PROBLEMS ARE OF YOUR OWN MAKING WHY DO YOU NEED A CHILD - A VICTIM OF YOUR FUCKED-UP SYSTEM - TO MAKE YOUR DECISIONS FOR YOU, ARE YOU LITERALLY TOO LAZY AND MORALLY BANKRUPT TO EVEN RUN YOUR OWN COUNTRY?
Just, jeez, they’re the worst.
