A minimum of one pristine copy of Cinderella will be kept in every household.

Slay best disney movie

I don’t want to be saved by some knight in shining armor. I’d like to be the one in the armor, and I’d like to be the one doing the saving.

AS YOU SHOULD

I bet he’s never led an army anywhere except across the squares of a chessboard.

I was twelve when I told my parents that I would much rather find a princess than a prince.

12? Thats crazy to think about marrying someone that young

“What could you do?” The woman laughs lightly. “Oh, you poor thing. You’re one of those girls who thinks there’s a way out, aren’t you? That something will come along and make everything better.” She sighs and shakes her head like she’s angry. “I wish there were. I swear I do. I wish I could tell you to run, to hide, but it would never work.” Her voice is so low I have to lean in close to understand. “Nothing can be done. Not a damn thing.”

This is why men suck.

“You’re a rare person, Sophia.”

UGH I NEED THIS MANNNNNN (after notes: HES GAY-)

But these good men aren’t making the rules. These decent men are turning a blind eye to indecent acts.

Thats so sad to think about

“If my life could serve a purpose,” the woman begins, raising her head a little and looking directly at the king, “then let this be it. I would die to give even just one person the chance to be free from you.”

“When the leader of this kingdom treats women as property, it sets an awful precedent. People think it’s okay to do the same.”

“I’m exhausted trying to decipher your riddles. See what can be seen? What does that mean?” “It means shut up and stop asking so many questions,”

NAH THATS SAVAGE

“You have a gift.” “Please.” She rolls her eyes. “You don’t have to be special or have a gift or anything of the sort. Some people think they are chosen, destined to be great, and do you know what happens while they are basking in the possibility of their own greatness?” “I don’t know,” I say. She narrows her eyes at me. “What happens is that someone with no particular preordained purpose puts their head down, works hard, and makes something happen out of sheer will. That’s where we fall.”

:(

“I think we sometimes make the mistake of thinking monsters are abhorrent aberrations, lurking in the darkest recesses, when the truth is far more disturbing. The most monstrous of men are those who sit in plain sight, daring you to challenge them.

oh…

Constance straightens up. “We’ll kill him. That’s what we’ll do.”

YOU GO GIRL

Constance turns back to me. “I say we practice our knife skills on her.” She is only half joking.
