    As a reminder, at this point, she had no idea the beast would turn back into a human. She was fully prepared to ride the beast.

      As a “wood” scientist, I’m certain you can understand her appreciation for monster cock.

    Never dreamed it but my friends are kind of living it - they are compulsive thrift shop book buyers who built an addition onto their house for their collection of 50k+ books. High ceiling, rolling ladders, the works. Their garage is like a stack room at the library.

      Damn I just started cataloging all my books. Started Friday, i am hoping to have at least a 1000. I was told if you have at least thousand books your officially a library.

    To simply have access to a lot of books? Sure, that’s why I support public libraries.

    To be held in captivity by an enraged asshole? No. Nothing about Beauty and the Beast is good for women. Least of all the brainwashing it does to convince young girls to love horrible wealthy men and try to fix them via codependency and tolerate financial and emotional abuse.

    See Mickey Mouse Monopoly documentary for analysis on Disney movies and the themes they push (VERY hard to search up, here’s a link https://youtu.be/WDwYOBJLZdg )

        I read a woke book version of these fairy tales in like 2006, in that version iirc she wakes up first and punches him haha

        I think it’s this: https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/feminist-fairy-tales_barbara-g-walker/379833/item/558205/?gad_source=4&gad_campaignid=21855271854&gbraid=0AAAAADwY45iHbfzincPvEffoeEEbUNdBV#idiq=558205&edition=3801907

        It’s way worse in the original story.

        It’s a cursed thorn that keeps her asleep. Prince comes along and rapes her in her sleep. Then leaves her pregnant and still unconscious.

        Nine months later she gives birth. The baby crawls up searching for a nipple and starts nursing on her finger. It sucks the thorn out of her finger lifting the curse and she wakes up.

          It’s not a prince who finds a random sleeping girl. Princess Zellandine falls in love with a man named Troylus. Her father sends Troylus away to perform various tasks to prove himself worthy of her. But yes, he does basically rape her in her sleep when he comes back.

          All those old fairy tales have one single core lesson for children: stranger danger!

          In that light, the original Sleeping Beauty plot makes sense. Don’t get shit-faced and pass out at a house party around a bunch of horny drunk randos. Most of the guys there might be decent and honorable, but it only takes one horrible creep.

          That is, sadly, a better outcome lesson than waking up to a gentle kiss from a kind and handsome prince, no?
