When he finds out his fellow athlete friend he's met online is also going to the Olympic games, Merlin is stoked, however he doesn't imagine that "Red_Shoes" isn't the artistic gymnast he thought, but her country's weightlifting champion. That doesn't stop him from getting the biggest crush on the pretty girl he saw training the other day though.

I bring you this humble sports au, as someone with 0 knowledge about the subject, besides the fact that literally every woman I saw competing on tv these days is gorgeous

I’ve always imagined Hans to be the slowest to anger out of the F7; that being said however he’s definitely like, one burnt cookie away from beating someone up at all times

Merlin and Self Worth in Red Shoes and The Seven Dwarfs

Merlin values physical appearance above almost anything in people, this extends to himself as well.

We first see him and the rest of the f7 attacking the fairy princess because he thought she was a witch because “she looked like a witch”. This is also the first example of him judging based on appearances.

The second example is his immediate acceptance of red shoes when she’d broken into their house. Continuously he’d make comments about other people’s appearance, her father included. Remarking how red shoes must take after her mother.

He also makes self degrading comments about his appearance. It’s mostly to red shoes about how she’d like him so much more once she sees what he really looks like, not seeming to bat an eye or believe her when she says she likes him and it doesn’t matter what he looks like.

It seems he only values himself for his appearance and that bleed into his view of others. He only thinks of himself as worthy and deserving of love if he’s “beautiful”, he doesn’t see himself as being lovable if the only thing he’s offering is himself as a person.

When in the forest after snow reveals herself, he has an epiphany that snow likes dwarf Merlin over human Merlin. This changes his entire view and ultimately realizing he loved snow(the person) for snow(the personality) not snow(the person) for red shoes(the appearance).

At the end of the movie, after he sacrificed himself, he looks at snow and says, “ you’re the most beautiful woman in the entire world. My eyes are open.” This is so beautiful because after viewing everyone with this judgmental lens, including himself, he finally can see people, namely snow, for who she is and for more than the girl he thought she was.

Edit/ he says, “whether my eyes are open or closed.” When he was dying. Not sure why I didn’t put that.

More new art! Here’s a Snow!

[ID in alt and under cut]

[ID:

A digital drawing of Snow from red shoes and the seven dwarfs. It’s a bust of her surrounded by apple blossoms drawn in pastel colours and watercolour-like line art, with rough pencil highlights. The line art on Snow White is in contrast drawn with a rough and thin pencil. She’s smiling at the viewer. The background is a simple warm grey. In the lower left corner is a signature reading “Cookieek”.

Enjoy RSATSD content🥰

Going to pretend that it hasn’t been 2 years since I drew anything red shoes-related.

This is a bit old but I’m sick of it just sitting in my gallery slowly aging. I like that for this version of Gretel people in this tiny fandom sort of just agree that she would have braided hair and round glasses.

I’ve also had the same idea of another F7 that she founded, including: Alice, Dorothy, Goldilocks and the three Tin girls from the end credits. I should really explore it more they’re fun to think about.

IT’S A SCONCE

[pinkrangersarah]

merlin's opening statement of "a princess doesn't look like a witch" gives me the impression they've actually never seen a real witch, or at the very least the only witch they could have seen is the wicked witch of the west (who isn't even green in the book), up until regina. this is hilarious to me on multiple different levels. fairy tale wise, the only one of the seven who has actual dealings with a witch is Hans. Arthur and Merlin have Morgana le Fay in their original fairy tale, but she was often described as an "enchantress", not a witch (though she has been in some sources).

the idea of the f7 not knowing anything about actual witches is honestly hysterical to me. it both goes along with their biases and it paints them as actually not being that great of heroes (which you can make the argument they're not, despite merlin's boasting in the beginning, because they were obviously only helping red shoes/snow white in the beginning to break their curses and Arthur COMPLETELY ignored snow white when she was surrounded by those knights).

Fairy Princess: I have to find my darling husband *Average* I'm so worried about him!

Jack: Seriously, what do you see in that guy?

Fairy Princess: He makes me laugh

It’s occurred to me many people don’t know who the characters in red shoes and the seven dwarfs are based on in fairytales.

Let’s start with the obvious:

Snow White is Snow White from Snow White and the 7 dwarfs

Regina is the evil queen from Snow White and the 7 dwarfs

King white is king white from Snow White and the 7 dwarfs

Now to the f7:

Merlin is based on Merlin from Arthurian legends

Arthur is based on King Arthur from Arthurian legends

Jack is based off Jack from Jack and the beanstalk

Hans is Hansel from Hansel and Gretel

Pino, Noki, and Kio are Pinocchio from Pinocchio (this one really killed me because I couldn’t get it, I got the others but this one I had to look up lol).

I couldn’t find if prince average is based on anyone, I think he’s just the average prince in fairytale stories, no extraordinary characteristics, no first name, just nothing outside of his overall unappealing personality and vainness.

Edit/ @astrolionking reblogged and pointed out Prince Average is based on the huntsman whose ordered by the evil queen to kill/capture snow/red.
