Snow White and Treasure
While I’m on her topic.
I noticed treasure in my re-watch of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Every key character’s treasure reveals their true nature on the inside.
Nowhere is it more evident than in the Queen herself, obviously.
Her treasure is holding the title of Fairest of All. That’s what she cares about. How she’s perceived. After all, why else does she sneak out of the castle through the catacombs? Why does she have the Huntsman do her dirty work—why not just kill Snow White on her own? She clearly gets way too much joy out of the idea of poisoning Snow White.
But she can’t do that. She has to hide her true nature, so she sneaks out of her own castle.
Ironically, her treasure is Being the Fairest—but she’s not beautiful on the inside. She’s ugly on the inside, like a rotten apple! And that fixation on getting her treasure eventually puts that ugliness on the outside, no matter how much she wants to look the opposite.
The next character we have who’s treasure reveals his true nature is Grumpy. (My favorite.)
All of the Dwarves treasure their own comfort to some extent. But Grumpy doesn’t just treasure comfort. He treasures his own safety.
After all, what is grumpiness if not a person who has been afraid and self-protective all their life? He’s always defensive, always on the lookout for a scam.
Grumpy is the last to change…and the only one who’s true nature is revealed when he does. Also, Grumpy is the only character who’s treasure changes.
Grumpy starts out being the most against Snow White. All of them are, at first, until they interact with her and she shows them what she can do for them.
But Grumpy takes the longest to warm up, because he’s not just afraid that she’ll bring the Queen to the cottage and put him in danger. He’s afraid of feelings. They make him feel unsafe.
I know that sounds weird but seriously. That’s his big beef with Snow White. He clearly likes her in spite of himself, but he’s terrified of opening up, because she’s A) new and different and B) getting attached is vulnerability, and vulnerability is dangerous.
That’s the opposite of Snow White! When she’s being her most vulnerable about her wish, he’s meeting the whole idea with scorn: “Ha! Mush!”
But he can’t help feeling, anyway. Because Snow White is so pure, and so not defensive, she gets under his skin.
And his treasure changes.
He goes from saying “get rid of her, she’ll bring nothing but trouble” to LEADING THE CHARGE to save her from the Queen.
He goes from treasuring his own safety to treasuring Snow White’s safety.
And that new treasure reveals his true nature: Grumpy is sentimental, and feels things strongly. Who is the Dwarf crying the hardest when Snow White dies?
Those two characters show that one’s treasure reveals their true nature, no matter how they try to guard against it or hide it.
The Queen’s treasure of her own appearance reveals that she’s ugly on the inside.
Grumpy’s treasure of safety reveals that he is very vulnerable on the inside.
But Snow White? Snow White’s treasure is not defended. Snow White’s nature is not hidden. Because Snow White is utterly innocent and pure. She just is who she is, beautiful and simple, and that’s what so great about her.
She treasures love—and she is loving. She tells the birds at the wishing well, and sings out her wish, for love. That’s rewarded; the Prince hears it and promises her his heart. (She’s his treasure by the way.)
She tells the Dwarves that she’s got faith in his love, and she knows he’ll come back, and they just adore her.
She’s every bit as beautiful and vulnerable on the outside as her treasure of love is on the inside.
When she encounters lost birds, what does she do? Love them. When she encounters orphans, what does she do? Love them. When she encounters Princes openly giving their hearts to her, what does she do? Love them. Her nature reflects what she treasures.
There’s no sign of anything but innocence, no hiding, no disingenuousness—because why should there be? The thing she treasures is a good thing. So that’s what makes her beautiful.
Beautiful enough to be the Fairest of All dressed in rags and dirt.
Beautiful enough to be granted mercy by a Huntsman who’s own life is on the line.
Beautiful enough to be buried in a glass coffin, instead of buried alive when the Queen’s plot succeeds.
Beautiful enough to be searched for and found, against all odds, by the Prince who fell in love with her at first sight.
Someone who values love highly, and lets that treasure shine out through every part of their nature, is powerful. They can strike fear and hatred into the hearts of the most self-absorbed, and transform the most stuck-in-their-ways, and inspire love in anyone who comes into contact with them.
That’s what’s wonderful about Snow White. She’s pure, from what she treasures to her very nature, and needs to hide nothing about herself.

"You are frightening my Pathologist, Woman. Perhaps you could take a few steps back?"
-- The Full House by @emceefrodis , Chapter 5
Sometime in 2012, I reached out to the author of my favorite Sherlolly fanfic, very shyly sharing a (frankly embarrassingly crude) drawing based on the last chapter I had read of her story. I was actually terrified of doing so, since I hadn’t really drawn anything in a REALLY long time, and while I had done some sketches here and there, this is the first time I ventured to share a scene from a fanfic. It’s not even faithful to the scene! *facepalm*
Thankfully, this author was gracious and kind and the rest, as we say, is history.
It’s been 10 years since then, and as we wrap up 2022, I wanted to reminisce for a moment and I re-drew my original drawing (which I actually cannot find a copy of since it was at least 2 blogs ago). Thank you @strawberrypatty for sharing your story and your friendship with me. It’s been so great!

All the way back in 2013 I started drawing “seriously” because of them, and here we are ⭐️
Hopefully by the end of 2023 their book will be finished… 😅
