snow white is stuck in my mind afkftrdklfskrd
#so i started a snow white AU awhile ago#The narrator: she was shoved into the idea by local dinluke discord server#anyway i'm still thinking about it??????#it's become enticing to me because i can't#for the life of me#fogure out what the them and the spine // the HEART hurrhurr// of the original fairytale is#so i can't translate it seamlessly into other contexts#and it's drivibg me insane#i'm not looking for the ''beautiful bitch old woman hates young girl'' narrative i dont care about the surface read#i want the w h y. why is this fairytale relevant why was it a story worth telling and retelling over and over#why did it matter to be told in the first place???? what purpise does this narrative serve#like yes there is a rivalry yes there's jealousy but why. jealousy over WHAT#i can't figure out the entire ''old and beautiful powerful jealous woman'' trope that is so prevalent in[mostly european and white centric]#fairytales and it's so fascinating to me#i want to know what drives it. the beliefs that feed into it the cultural and personal notions#because you've got SO FUCKING MANY–#holy shit i used ''trope''?? i'm sorry wont be going back to rewrite the tag but it's not a trope. it's so structural#it's a definitive archetype#you've got the snow queen you've got maleficent you've got cindrella's stepmother and you've got snow white's evil witch#there's so many and i dont get the villainization of mature beautiful women#i'm sure i'm being superficial by only looking at more recebt fairytales this thing goes deep and in ancient
