Part of what’s so great about Sleeping Beauty is that i’s about like one very intense day in Aurora’s life. For sixteen years she picks berries and minds her business and like one right after another it’s ‘you’re fallen in love but it doesn’t matter’ ‘you’re a princess’ ‘we’re not your real aunts’ ‘you’re engaged to a stranger’ ‘you’re going home to your real parents’ ‘magic is real and we wield it’ and that onslaught of constant life-altering information is why she is the princess best poised to survive 2020

aurora’s last words after pricking her finger: oh thank fuck some time to process all this
