and I get why from a storytelling perspective you’d go with that property! There’s already magic that you’ve (somewhat) explained, and it already has a theme to it that you can pair with something dangerous (The Sundrop flower paired with the Moonstone rocks)! Yeah, it’s simple enough that you don’t have to go too in depth with it!

but I’d argue there is a Disney princess who needs the expanding of her character more, whose husband needs expanding of his character, and who’s world is just begging to be explored with all the rich possibilities that leave underneath the surface!

PLEASE give me a Sleeping Beauty TV series! So many people just DO NOT understand her as a character! She's playful, a hopeless romantic, mature, kind, and above all SELFLESS to a tee!

Actually think about her life for a second! She was raised to be a simple peasant girl! All she wanted was to find love and live a simple, happy life! Then at 16 years old she meets this man who she practically hits it off with immediately! This man matches her freak SO well (I love them), he sees this GORGEOUS woman singing and immediately starts singing and dancing with her. They both look so happy enjoying nature and each other as they waltz through the forest. Then she goes home and expects her three mother figures to be happy for her.

And what do they do? They drop the bombshell on her that she's a princess! She has been raised as a peasant! She has most likely had NO formal education on politics, etiquette, or even formal speaking! Her maternal figures aren't her bio family like she was raised to believe, they lied to her her whole life, and now she's expected to marry someone who she may not even like because she DOES NOT KNOW HIM, and bare him a son (because that was just what was expected of women back then) YALL ARE SO LUCKY PHILIP WAS A FEMINIST AND A GIRL DAD (Evidenced by Audrey in Descendants). The man was willing to give up everything for a woman because he believed in love regardless of class disparity.

Philip being the GOAT does not erase the fact that Aurora had NOTHING going for her in terms of proper royal training, and she STILL went back to the kingdom regardless, just because she needed to for the sake of her people. She may be mocked an ostracized by her peers in the court for being "a peasant" or for her lack of a formal education. Yet she went back despite EVERYTHING. That is true selflessness.

Look... I love Rapunzel. I love Tangled the Series. I'm not saying that Rapunzel DIDN'T deserve or need a TV show. She absolutely does! She knew nothing of the outside world for 18 years. Let her explore a little bit! (And give her a better haircut) I love everything that TTS gave us! ...but what I am most interested in is the possibility of giving OTHER princesses a similar treatment.

Aurora had her agency stripped from her the MOMENT she was born through her betrothal, then once again from the curse placed on her, and AGAIN through the fact that she had her whole life decided for her from living as a peasant to her 16th birthday. Does she cry? Only in sudden bursts of emotions. She doesn't whine or try to fight, she just takes it in strides.

As for what the story could be about? Aurora learning to actually be a princess. Studying laws and fighting for her fellow man, a comedy of errors about her not knowing princessy things, maybe even an overarching plot of Fae politics and their magic system! Heck, throw in a little brother type like Varian to be an apprentice to the fairies and balance out Aurora's more eligant and reserved nature and you have a recipe for a great story!

FUCK DRAGONSPINE!!

cw: taxidermy, cannibalism, mutilation, brains in jars, flaccid penis.

so you know all those funky attractions across America with like the wax statues or monster museums?

so basically it was this a little ranch in the woods that put on display all these weird attractions think of like a Renaissance fair, but for old scary myths.

so they were all these brains of like… a cannibal cult just in these jars right? And then, at a different point in the fair there was this town of the taxidermied skins of this cannibal cult… (kinda like a wax museum)

and someone warned the main girl and her guy side kick as a crowd was leaving for the night “oh you don’t wanna go in there. these things sway with the wind, so it’ll just be you and they’re trying to remember all of their positions, so you don’t freak yourself out.”

but like in any horror movie, they don’t listen they go inside it’s creepy and then they see this woman in this old Timey Victorian cowgirl set up if that makes any sense? she was wearing a more Victorian style, puffy dress and bonnet, but she was speaking like Sandy Cheeks; the whole “howdy y’all” thing

hey, so this one comes up to the main duo and she starts speaking to them, warning them to leave because it’s almost night.

and then, for some reason, I start hearing my own voice in my head say “oh, these people are definitely gonna come alive as ghosts.”

then she starts telling the story of how one of the visitors of married one of these taxidermy skin suits in poem form I think?? and it was rhyming and talking about his flaccid penis… it ended like this:

You, the spouse of Vincent, Whitman, come to take him home after every one of his TV segments. No matter, if he’s just a simple weatherman or hosting his own primetime show.

The sounds you want me to greet him with “hey, how’s the most beautiful person in the world doing today?”

he smirks at you and responds with. “I don’t know. How are you doing?”

decades of the same lovey-dovey crap that everyone’s sick of…

and then he dies…

decades past and eventually you go too. You end up in hell for some unspecified and unimportant reason.

you see him again… well, you recognize his voice.

he’s now a CRT TV…

in your time apart Vincent has become so self-conscious. He was once an utter heartthrob and now… he’s got a block of wires for a head! you meet him again as an overlord… after Alastor’s rejection, he’s become even more self-conscious…

and the first thing you say to him as he tries to run away hoping and praying that you don’t recognize him…
