If all of the Disney Princesses live in Snow White's world, do you think the Magic Mirror would still declare Snow White as "The Fairest One of All"?

Yes, I do. I think Snow White is Fairest of All because her beauty is the outward version of her purity and innocence. And there’s no other Disney Princess who has more purity and innocence than Snow White.

I mean, the closest you could get, story-wise, would be Aurora. She’s magically gifted with rare beauty that’s symbolic of the rebirth of springtime. That’s quite the beauty classification!

She’s pretty innocent and pure, too—the tiniest glimpse that she might not be as pure as Snow White is the fact that she’s willing to complain about her lot in life, or about the fairies being overprotective, and has a little mischief in her. But even that is kind of a stretch.

What isn’t a stretch, though, is Snow White being so full of love to give that it splashes everywhere. Aurora’s scenes with the animals are all about her confiding in them and playing with them. But Snow White is decidedly motherly with her animal friends. She doesn’t just get their friendship and company—she gives. She teaches them how to clean, and helps them when they’re lost, that sort of thing. Even more loving with the Dwarfs.

So Snow White does good, and that’s part of the beauty of what’s inside of her causing her outside appearance to be beautiful. Aurora, as wonderful as she is, doesn’t do a lot of good. She makes very few decisions that show how loving and kind she can be.

Other than being respectful and obedient and obviously super-fond of her fairy caretakers. It takes a special kind of love to obey three old women who tell you that you have to abandon all your animal friends and the one true love you just met to run a kingdom, instead. I would’ve said “no, I’m not going, and here are all my suppressed bitter feelings about how you keep treating me like a child.”

But even though she’s devastated, she gives up the dream that just came true and fulfills her role as crown princess, instead. I don’t want anyone walking away from this post seeing any shade thrown on Aurora. The purpose of her character was very symbolic.

She wasn’t supposed to grow and change. She wasn’t even supposed to inspire change in others. She was supposed to represent Value. That’s it. She’s precious to everyone around her. She’s worth protecting, sacrificing for, and saving. She’s everyone’s daughter, everyone’s dearest, she’s all the gentleness and beauty and hope for the future, personified.

I could do another post analyzing Sleeping Beauty (though to be honest with you, it’s such an old and incredible fairy tale that I’d be a little intimidated.) But anywho, to answer this question, Snow White would still be Fairest of All because, I think, in the story, ther purity and innocence is what makes her so outwardly beautiful, and none of the other princesses are as pure or innocent. Aurora and Cinderella come close, and then Belle.

EDIT: It would be cool to see them all in one place, though, wouldn’t it? Not for, like, Pocket Princess antics or anything like that. Or anything too sprawly and intertwined, like Once Upon a Time. But if there were a way to neatly, carefully tell a story with that many princesses, and what they inspire in others, and why they befriend and what they teach to one another…without it being a total talking-head-fest…that would be neat.

THE GIRL AND THE DOG

@themousefromfantasyland @princesssarisa @adarkrainbow @tamisdava2 @faintingheroine @softlytowardthesun @grimoireoffolkloreandfairytales @natache

(A folktale from the Shilluk people of Sudan)

A woman was without a child. She went into the bush and found a dog. She said, “Oh jwok, give me a child! If you give me one it shall marry the dog.”

And a child was given to her by jwok, and then her child grew up. And the child went into the bush; it found the dog; - this dog was a white one.

The dog said, “Go to your mother and tell her, the dog says, ‘When will the Woman be given to me?’”

The little girl came saying, “Mother!” The mother answered. The girl said, “I found the dog in the bush, and he said thus, ’Go to your mother and say to her thus, the dog says: ‘When will the woman be given to me?’”

Her mother wept; she told the girl’s father; the father said, “Bring her to the dog.”

They found the dog lying. The girl was given to him. And the dog and the girl rose up, the dog went with the girl, they went into the ground; — the dog was Jwok; they went into the house of the dog; there were many trees there everywhere. And the dog said, “You shall always eat with me; and you shall go into this enclosure.” The people of the enclosure said to the girl, “Go to the center.”

The dog said to the girl, “These are slaves.”

Then the dog went away, and the girl was left. So the girl had gone into the enclosure of the dog, a big enclosure; this house was the house of Jwok. One day the girl ran up, she jumped up, and the ground split. The girl came out; she went away running. The dog saw her, he came running; the girl ran into a house in the river, this house was the river; it was a big house. And the dog came; he remained at the foot of the house (below the threshold). The people of this house were seven ; they were males, there was no woman among them. They lived on meat, they used to go hunting. The girl hid herself in the house; and the people came home and found their food cooked, they said, “Who has cooked the food?”

They were astonished. They went searching the house ; the girl was found, they were very glad. They said, “You have become our sister.”

So they remained. The girl told them, “I am chased by a dog.”

They said, “Where is he?”

She said, “He is in the ground below the house.”

They looked into the ground and found the dog. They shot him with a gun. The dog died, and they threw him into the hush.

And seven years passed, then the girl said: “I want to go and see the bones of the dog.”

The boys said, “Stay, do not go!”

The girl said, “I will go!”

And they all went; the girl searched, and she was hurt at her foot by a bone; the girl died. The boys wept.

Then the girl was taken by them and put into the river; she was carried away by the river and came to her native country. There fishermen found her; they pulled her out of the water and told the king (what had happened). The king brought an old woman, she washed the girl with water; and the bone was found in the body of the dead girl by the woman.

She pulled the bone out, and then the girl rose up, she sneezed.

The king was told, “The girl has sneezed.”

When the king came, he asked the girl, “Where do you come from?”

The girl said, “I come from the house which is in the river.”

The king asked, “What brought you there ?”

She answered, “I was given away to a dog by my father; but the dog chased me, so I went into the house in the river.”

And the king wept, she was his daughter! Her mother too came, and she wept. Then cows were brought, they were sacrificed.

They went home. — That is all, it is finished.

Charles during pre-season testing | Barcelona | 26 February 2018

📸 Alfa Romeo Sauber

The color pallette of these pictures reminds me of Snow White:

"...with a skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and hair as black as ebony..."

Some Updates

I know I said that I was going to post something that was also inspired by The Duchess and corresponded with my last post. I still plan on writing that but it was clear it needed more time than I expected. Nor that I ended up having that week. So it will have to come out later. For now, let’s do an update round up! The Lost King Things are progressing. While I am working on the second draft, in…

Fall Equinox

Happy fall to all.

The equinox arrives

Bringing changing strides

Of day to night

From sun to moon-light.

Summer step down
