I'm so tired of people saying that the Prince from Snow White is a creep for kissing Snow White when he thought she was dead.

People act as if he put his tongue down her throat while she looks like a regular corpse.

Maybe I'm just more comfortable with death because of my upbringing.

There's a European tradition that you would kiss dead people goodbye. You would also wait with a dying person because dying alone was one of the most horrible ways to die.

In Poland, you would spend three days with the dead body of your relative in the house so family and friends have time to say goodbyes. We even have pictures of family members in coffins, so we could remember them.

Yeah, it's a very post-modern, historically, culturally-small-minded way to look at it.

Specifically in this movie (which is a fairy tale's fairy tale) people just...totally ignore the scene where The Prince is introduced.

Seriously and truthfully, BECAUSE the Prince only takes action in three scenes of the movie, you HAVE to take all three of them very very seriously. Because thats all there is to know about him. That's how fairy tales work: lots of information hiding under very brief, simple snippets of information. It's called nuance.

Anyway.

The Prince kisses Snow White as a culmination of their promised love for each other.

First scene he's in, he falls in love with her because of her obvious purity and he overhears her longing for someone to love her. Then she runs away because she's not sure of him, and doesn't know him. But he sings his part of the song, which is all about how he has just one heart to give, one devotion to spend, and he's choosing to give it and spend it on her if she'll have him.

And she will have him. How do we know? She sends a kiss to him on the dove. That's how the exchange ends; that's how she responds, and that's why he leaves satisfied. It's their engagement scene. They're promising their hearts to each other.

Fast-forward, the Queen messes up what might have been the natural follow-through of that engagement which is marriage by trying to kill Snow White, she's living in the woods, but she won't forget the Prince and wholeheartedly believes he'll come find her.

And the very next thing we hear about him is that he keeps his promise. He's got one heart, one love, one devotion, and it's promised to Snow White, and he will not stop searching for her. When he finds her, he's returning her kiss from their engagement scene. He thinks she's dead, but he has to finish his quest anyway. This is him, trying to keep his promise even if she's dead; he's trying to fulfill the exchange they had when they saw each other last.

It's ridiculous to assume that she needed to be awake and alive to give permission for him to kiss her; it's ignorant of the whole relationship, symbolic and literal, between these two fairy tale characters. She already sent him her kiss and her heart; he already promised to claim it; he's fulfilling the promise in that scene.

Crazy postmodern people, don't know how to take in a story. Not everything gets to have your socio-cultural lens imposed upon it.

I had a colleague come into my office the other day and go, "hey, do you have a second, I have a...dark...picture."

And immediately, my first reaction was holy crap in the context of this office something "dark" has got to be the most morally reprehensible crap I've ever seen, we see murder and assault of all kinds on a regular basis, what on EARTH qualifies as "dark" in this context--

and he showed me the picture, and it was--

--solid black.

I adjusted the brightness for him.

#as the only lawyer in the office with a graphic design degree #i get these kinds of requests regularly #i'll admit that i was a little disappointed that it wasnt...cannibalism or something

My copy of the Danny Phantom graphic novel hasn't arrived yet, but based on isolated images I've seen without context, this is basically what happens right ???

I know they obtain cowboy hats and trauma

#danny phantom #Glitch in time #Graphic novel #I have no idea if Vlad gets a cowboy outfit too but I hope so #Not tagging under spoilers bc i dunno what happens #Unless knowing Danny gets a lil cowboy hat spoils the whole graphic novel for you #Then I'm deeply sorry #But if anything Danny having a little cowboy hat should make you wanna buy the book more #dp #GiT

Beatles Wives on Self Help

inspired by paperback book covers of the 60s and 70s, here’s a little graphic design project i’ve been working on pondering the question: what kind of self-help(esque) books would have been useful to the beatles WAGs circa 1968 - then creating them as if they had written them theirselves.

#just a bit of fun but i thoroughly enjoyed incorporating little references and jokes as i did them #the mclennon goggles are on pretty heavily but even if you aren’t into them i hope you still get a laugh out of these #the beatles #beatles fan art #mclennon #john and paul #paul mccartney #john lennon #george harrison #jane asher #cynthia lennon #maureen starkey #pattie boyd #ringo starr #beatles rpf #beatles wives #graphic design #graphic design is my passion #< semi-ironically 😭

I’m only just now reading the graphic novel and I gotta tell ya watching the movie first and then reading the graphic novel is the funniest whiplash in art style I’ve ever gotten

Ko-fi

#nimona #Nimona movie #nimona graphic novel #ballister blackheart #ballister boldheart #mcart #definitely not saying the graphic novel is a bad artstyle I really love it #but the beady little eyes are a fun contrast from the wet kicked puppy eyes ballister had #as of writing this I’m not done with the graphic novel yet but I can’t wait to see all of the differences #I’m enjoying it
