#the minions seems happy though HSHSH

[return-of-the-queen-au]

Y'know what's fucked up?

How in the storybooks we see how the dwellers who used to be the children in subcon (and if you wanna believe they're also the adults, go ahead. I like that headcanon) who were nothing but lost souls until snatcher, not the prince, snatcher came over and what seems to forcefully make them sign a contract to become his minions.

and this makes me think that the prince got his silly evil arc before meeting said souls and forcing them to do his biding.

the kids, if they remember or not, only knew that the prince disappeared one day and that's it. They probably don't know snatcher is the prince. (nor that Vanessa is the ice monster, for that matter. Unless snatcher says it with no shame, but knowing him he definitely did.)

it's hard to connect the dots if you lack context. They don't what happened to the prince and they don't know he died, they just know there's this evil ghost who eats souls and laughs about it.

all the subcon residents (again, if they do remember who they were and what was going on before the whole Vanessa-goes-crazy matter) are doomed to be stuck with some evil ghost they (think) don't know without ever knowing why they died.

for them it was just a blizzard and some scary ice monster........their boss keeps talking about as "the ice queen" and about her cookies.
