Yeah Disney really glazed over a lot of the endings of those “fairy tales”. Rapunzel’s story ends in a particularly fucked up fashion
Or they just made them happy endings because they wanted them to end happily?
they just want to make them more childish so they can make more money. The fairytales also used to have actual moral of the story or more meaning in general.
Yeah, but many of the morals and endings of these fairytales are fucked up and needlessly cruel. I hate Disney as much as the next guy but modernizing old stories for a new audiance (especially for kids) is not a bad idea.
Yeah, I was just making fun cause the SMBC comic was using Rapunzel as an example and in the original story she actually does get preggers, with twins no less, and something about ending up in the desert and the guy’s eyes being poked out…it’s been a while since I heard the tale.
Yeah, German fairytales be like that.
(P.S.why are we "Yeah,"ing?
The witch’s concern for men I get, but could someone shed a bit of light on the claim for women? Is that just an extreme for laughs or did someone out there really do … something close to that?
The witch from Hansel and Gretel is the one example that comes to mind.
If I remember correctly, in the German version of Sleeping Beauty, the Prince’s Mom is an ogress who wants to eat Sleeping Beauty.
also the prince raped her in her sleep and she only woke up because of the pain from the birth of their baby
If I remember correctly, one of the newborns (she had twins) sucked on her finger attempting to nurse and dislodged the cursed splinter that was keeping her unconscious.
I don’t remember if any explanation was given as to why no one thought of just pulling the damn thing out prior to that. That seems like a pretty fucking solvable problem.
I wonder if this is what Smiling Friends is referencing in the enchanted forest episode where Charlie pulls the thorn out of the tree.
She is speaking from experience.

As long as you keep licking, you may.
More to eat for the redhead.
Yes she’s ecstatic in that last panel lol
It took 20 seconds to climb her hair.
You are giving him too much credit. It is 29 seconds.
Dude’s first time.
