Darkside Disney Princesses: Sleeping Beauty

Sleeping Beauty I decided to take a twist on the whole Maleficent movie relationship thing.

So for this AU, Briar Rose, instead of running up to her room in despair after hearing she's a princess and has to leave her whole life behind, instead runs out into the woods. And before the fairies can find her--they're still keeping their magic small to keep their location secret, not knowing its already been compromised--she runs into Maleficent.

Of course, she has no idea who the wicked fairy is. No one has ever told her about her. All she knows is that a beautiful and powerful being of the forest is before her, but Rose has never known real wickedness, and perhaps she's feeling somewhat rebellious towards her aunts, so she begins talking to the strange woman when Maleficent --who likes to play with her food-- feigna concern asks Rose to tell her what's made her so upset.

So Rose tells her about how she just found out her whole life is a lie, and how she'll never see the first boy she ever met again, and how she doesn't want to go and be princess with a king and queen she doesnt know, parents who gave her up for some reason intead of bothering to raise her themselves.

If she had had time to process her grief, and the promise of not being separated from her new found love, Rose might have been able to get over these resentments, spoken in the heat of the moment, more quickly.

But Maleficent decides that fanning the flames of he Princess's broken heart and trust, playing on her anger towards Stefan and the three fairies, could be so much more entertaining than just killing the girl outright.

So she takes Rose by the arm, and back with her to her palace, where she promises her the truth about all her questions, and the answers to how to solve all her problems...

Time passes, and the princess never arrives on her 16th birthday.

The king and queen are distraught. Relations breakdown between the human kingdom and the fairy court, as the fairies failed in their duties to guard the human girl, and they are called back into the Veil of the Fairies, leaving the mortals to fend for themselves.

Then relations break down between the human kingdoms when Prince Phillip goes missing as well, vanished into the forest, never to be seen again.

And then others begin to vanish. A farmer here, a wandering knight there. A whole group of children one moonless night. As more disappear, many more begin to flee entirely. Fields are left untilled, houses abandoned, borders undefended.

Tales soon cross the land as the refugees take flight from Stefan and Hubert's kingdoms. Tales of a dark presence that haunts the shadows of the woods, stealing away those who are foolish enough to wander beneath the trees. A fiend who takes the shape of a beautiful forest sprite, with a voice like a nightnagle. She causes all who hear it to fall under her spell, wandering into the shadows like they're walking in a dream, one from which they will never wake...

i kiss her, and she tastes dead.

but of course she would. she’s been asleep for a thousand years.

my eyes are open, and her lips are blue. the air is still.

a half moon emerges from a dark cloud, and the room turns silver. gold threads glisten in her dress, the silk in tatters. i watch as the rose in her hands crumbles away.

this isn’t how it was foretold. this shouldn’t be how it ends.

i kiss her again. she does nothing. her chest does not rise and fall as the tide. her lips do not bloom pink as dawn.

she lies as winter does.

what else am i to do?

dust notes dance before my eyes. i was not prepared for this. my whole life leading up to a singularity, but no after. only before, only during. no next. no then. no ending.

I’m back from San Diego Comic Con! Don’t mind me just being silly.

I got quite a lot of merch this year!

Though I will admit one of the things that made me happiest was getting some beautiful gifts from @miniyunart in the mail when I returned! I was ecstatic since all the merch at Con was mostly Tottmnt related! I highly recommend checking out her amazing store!!

I swear that will be it for photos/videos for a while. Back to art now! Thank you for your patience!

Disney Role Reverse🍂

Queen Aurora is on a path to extract every source of magic to make herself more powerful, it is a very slow process until she hears of a young Fae creature more powerful then any other Fae. Using her powers of manipulation the queen tricks little Maleficent; the young Fae still learning from her mother to harness her abilities, into false friendship to steal her magic.

All while Maleficent merely wants to travel the world and extend her horizons.
