I do feel like I should note that from maybe day 1 of playing Dark Parables (and there's a definite chance this was unconscious projecting on my part) I've seen the detective as a trans man. I say unconscious projecting bc I hadn't come to the conclusion of transness yet. I also somehow completely missed that novelization in Briar Rose. so.

You'll notice a couple of things. First the "Friendship Song" sung at the end of Pascal's Story is not included because it was not sung by any of the characters in-story. Neither is "More of Me" by Natasha Bedingfield as it was sung over the credits. Also, the "Black-Rock Incantation," "Sun Drop/Hope Incantation" (so those are the official names now), and "Final Healing Incantation" weren't sung by Cassandra and Rapunzel, just recited, so they aren't really songs, but they're included anyway. What they did omit was "Hook Foot's Ballad" which comes after "The View From Up Here". I wonder if Disney accidentally missed this and will reload the video with this included.
It's just over an hour long, perfect music for say, the treadmill or during a long drive!
Well, okay, well, actually the bonus chapter, which is called "The Curse of Thumbelina"
This time we play as Gerda, our golden girl 🥰
So! It seemed to end well, but no, something went fucked up again: some nightmares with my brother and some micro-girl. What are we doing?? That's right, we're going to deal with it!!!
We found the back door to the castle, and there's stuff lying around, and where's the dyed brother himself? It's not clear. We dig, we dig, we go into the cave, and there, SUDDENLY, Snow White's son is hanging from the ceiling in a spider shibari. What he forgot there is not clear, he says, just went for a walk and well… stuck beautifully))
What about Gerda? Nothing, she unraveled it, they went to find out what happened, they found a micro-bead. And she turns out to be the same one! She's either a girl or a thing! Wow! So what is this? A dream come true? Holy shit!
Okay, this little girl said she doesn't remember a damn thing, she knows Kai is gone and she's being eaten by flying monkeys (literally). Sow, me and my mom's friend's son promised to protect her--
-fucked up the little girl in a second good for us))
We went bushwalking and found our painted brothel boy, Kai. This fool decided to shrink down to the size of Thumbelina (a botanist who brews potions - woe in the family).
Gradually we learn that it turns out that Thumbelina is not Thumbelina at all, but the entire GODDESS OF HARMONY (no, not Celestia, but I wanted to (9(( ), and she was cursed by Gothel. How did that happen? Well, she just poured tea on her, poisoned her, insulted her well, and now the world is in decline, and the Goddess is depressed at zero years old, and her HP is reduced.
Anyway, somehow we found our micro-goddess, they tried to drag her into a portal to the world of the dead, but MOMMY'S FRIEND'S SON SHOOT ACCURATELY, the portal doesn't work, the little girl is saved, everything's fucking fine ✌✨
We took her to the throne, she remembered everything, "from the heart to the soul, thank you, I went to recover, because it is not good to be a micro-girl, it is not authoritative it turns out"
