I'm joining the miraculous Mouse on the Mind and hip This Happy Place Blog for the Kill/Refurb/Marry blog hop! This week's theme is Disney Princesses. Just gonna say it now: I feel REALLY strongly about this one, you guys.
Kill: Okay, not going to make friends with this, but I HAAAAATTEEEE Ariel. Like SUPER hate her. I would gladly murder her in cold blood, in the bright light of day, with my bare hands, and I am fairly confident I would get acquitted because she is THE WORST. An entitled, ignorant sixteen-year old brat, Think about who you thought you "loved" when you were 16 and tell me if you were equipped to make permanent life-altering changes at that time based on that "love".
Here is an earlier rant explaining my hatred: rant. I won't repeat it here because I am already riled up just thinking about it.
(Let's also discuss how King Triton is the worst possible dad in Disney animated features. No really, I am ready to convince you. Would you send your 16 year old child to go live with a stranger on the other side of the globe because she insists that she, a teenager, "loves him"? Because what Triton does is worse than that - he can't exactly visit her on land.)
Refurb: Can we go ahead and make Megara a princess? I know she doesn't fit the typical Disney princess requirements, but man do I love her badass, independent woman attitude.
Marry: I know the Disney Hipsters say that she looks busted in the parks and I don't disagree, but I LOVE Aurora so much. She is the pink princess and you know how I feel about pink (and if you don't: I love it as much as I hate Ariel). Plus her dress CHANGES COLOR. What is more baller than that?
When I was little, I had a nightgown that was blue and pink and I used to dance around to Once Upon a Dream and pretend I was her. She is the best (in the movies).
If you're smart, you will hop on to all the next stops.
But.. but... doesn't Aurora also marry a guy at 16 (whom she presumably loved after one creepy exchange in the forest) plus, her drunken father just wants to marry her off to have lots of babies.
ReplyDeleteAurora doesn't whiiiiiiiiiinnnnne to her father the entire movie and never once utters the words "BUT I LOVE HIM DADDY!"
DeleteAlso, King Stefan knows Prince Phillip's family and has known him since he was a child. He is not sending his teenage daughter off with a literal stranger....to live in a place he can't physically visit. And being drunk at a major celebration does not make one a drunk. So.
DeleteI'm not an Ariel fan... though my feelings are not as strong as yours, lol. What would you refurb about Meg? Just the fact that she isn't a princess? ;)
ReplyDeleteSorry to say I killed Aurora in my hop. I don't dislike her, I just don't feel like we really know her very well. She doesn't have much of a personality in my opinion.
Lol that's okay Becky. I think practically speaking I should have married Tiana because she is the best. I'm just a sucker for pink :)
DeleteYes, I want Megara to be a princess. That's the refurb I'd make :)
Hah! I love that you picked Aurora because one of her dresses is pink ... when you maybe love Tiana more ... :p
