#and i love her in neverafter

[renegadeontherunn]

guys i love snow white i don’t even care she’s dark and a little crazy and wanted to hug rosamund immediately after meeting her but over the blanket bc she’s so cold and she woke herself up from the dead and punched through her own glass coffin bc no one was there to wake her up….i’m literally obsessed

I met Death, and he wanted me to live.

"If I was so dead, where was my funeral?! Where’s my headstone?"

I'm haunted by both these quotes and the idea of what would have happened had Timothy Goose found Ylfa after she'd well ...

Rosamund design doodles, I’m having a very normal one about her and neverafter right now

I think one of my fave things about the Stepmother reveal is who turned to look.

Because of course it was only the kids that looked. It's always only the kids in these sorts of stories who are the ones to look inextricable horror in the face while adults knowingly pretend there's nothing to see

[greatpistachiopie]

if i don't come back, it's cause rapunzel got me

[millacm]

strong disagree on takes that are saying that the intrepid heroes just disliked rapunzel because her design was offputting or because of her social mannerisms. 2 of the first things we learn about rapunzel are that:

1. a nat20 insight check doesn’t reveal any of her inner thoughts and feelings, just gives them the knowledge that she is an incredibly fake person who could be hiding anything. usually, a check that high means brennan gives you the whole story, meaning she was incredibly good at hiding

2. her hair is snaking throughout the entire castle, and can be used to watch them at any turn

those two things to me are the differentiator for why they were frightened of rapunzel, because she was learning everything about them while they could learn nothing about her

Walking through the woods with death

everyone said ‘emily axford fucked up murdergirl’ but nobody considered ‘emily axford awkward preteen murdergirl’

[hellishfig]

god… rewatching neverafter again

and the intro scenes are a mixed bag in terms of terror

rosamund is kind of freaky with the vines and the dead princes, but then we have gerard’s, which is very amusing. pib’s is also pretty funny. mother goose’s is dark bc his son is dead, but they still joke about the gander

then we get to ylfa. and brennan and emily show the darkest and saddest origin story i have ever seen for little red riding hood. a little girl, lost in every way possible, confused and alone and scared, begging her mother to let her in, and her mother refuses. her mother says that her daughter is dead and gone and a monster stands in her place. ylfa doesn’t want to be a monster. she wants to go home. but she is different, and her home turns on her, and that betrayal turns her on them. she huffs and she puffs and she blows the family that left her for dead away

and pinocchio. pinocchio whose mother is a shadow in a doorway. pinocchio who became a boy by being good, only to lose that gift by lying to save his father. pinocchio who loves his father enough to lie, and must now keep on lying to serve a woman he has never even looked in the eyes

there’s something very fitting about the children in this fairy tale land having the most horrifying stories. those stories about children straying from the path or needing to never tell a lie or misbehave in order to be real, they’re meant as warnings. be good, children, or you’ll never have the respect that adults get. be good, or the monsters in the shadows will come for you. be good, or you’ll die

in a season that was meant to be horror but was subverted by the players knowing the theme, i appreciate even more the darker corners of the story

[start i.d.: a drawing of ylfa snorgelsson, done in saturated reds and oranges. she looks to the viewer, dead-eyed, with a nosebleed. she wears her red cloak, a pair of red overalls, and a white blouse, her wolf paws on full display. end i.d.]

huff and puff, little one
