#thank you kaskjskjs i am not normal about him

PRINCE CHARMING TOO?? I see you have a type and I'm obsessed omg. Pleeeease give me some more between you two!!

I DO NOT HAVE A TYPE (*knows i have a type*)

but yeahh... 🥺 i love him so MUCH. our anniversary is actually soon! november 6th. shrek 2 is one of my all-time favorite movies, so i watch it a TON... but only recently did i realize, wow, this guy? sucks. he's terrible. i want him (partially my friend's fault for bringing it up YEARS ago and it kinda sat in the back of my mind for a while til i finally admitted it 2 years later 😔 she knows me too well smh)

and i got attached to him SO QUICKLY, partially due to my love of shrek, but also... 😔 yeah i have a type

my s/i is not like that though, she denies and denies and denies until the very end. (though so does he because he's set on fiona for a while... at least outwardly) my s/i is a lot like shrek, having grown up knowing him. she was the only human who wasn't really afraid of him. she didn't have anyone else. so she has some crass tendencies like he does, but she's really a hopeless romantic at heart. bitterly creating fairytales for herself that she knew would never come to fruition, because she doesn't really belong with other humans. all they've done was abandon her, and she never saw herself being accepted by them

and when she meets charming (she accompanied shrek, donkey, and fiona to far far away), her biases are affirmed at first. this guy is TERRIBLE... and represents everything she hates about nobility and the uppity far far away.

they're both stubborn. and that eventually works in their favor, actually. charming has never met anyone like her before, so carefree and honest. his life has been dictated by people primarily concerned with appearances; underhandedness the norm. but it isn't like that with us

and, well, a bunch of plot and forbidden love stuff happens 👉👈 we teach each other a lot. ideally, because of this, shrek the third never happens (i have such mixed feelings about that movie akjkjdskjs), and we move to a smaller place near the sunflower fields we see in the first shrek (and sunflowers are my favorite flower!). he doesn't go all out with the revenge plot

but i have an AU where it does happen and things are completely different between us 👀 probably a different origin story for us and everything (though i haven't decided on that part) i would really like to write for it one day
