Quick Fun Discussion: Another Fairytale Comparison
Okay, I think I've gone off the deep end with this ship...I'm seriously starting to see it everywhere! O_o
I know the similarities between Kurtofsky and "Beauty and the Beast" have been discussed and squeed over, but I think I found another (more contempary) fairytale that has a couple of fun similarities as well. ;-P
Who here likes...SHREK? XD
(Please tell me I have have gone crazy!)
Okay, in this discussion, I am most specifically refering to Shrek 2.
I was watching Shrek 2 with my little brother recently and there were some plot points in the movie that I thought would be fun to discuss. :-)
The major point I wanted to bring up is the Fairy Godmother's relentless message to Shrek through out the movie: "Ogre's don't live happily ever after."
In the scene where Shrek is in Fairy Godmother's office, and she's naming all the happily-ever-after fairytale stories and stating that none of them include Ogres - arguing that beautiful princesses like to marry handsome, charming princes, and not ugly, smelly ogres.
In my Kurtofsky-shipping brain, this is how that scene was translated:
Sue (Fairy Godmother): In all the gay romances you've ever heard of, how many of them involve big, sweaty jocks?
Dave (Shrek): Uh...?
Sue: Well, let's explore that, shall we?... Maurice by E.M. Forster? No. Brokeback Mountain? No. Adam and Steve? No.
Dave: Uh, I thought the guys in Brokeback Mountain seemed pretty rugged-
Sue: They were rugged...you're just chubby.
Dave: *confused face*
Sue: Pretty, gay boys like Kurt prefer handsome, charming boys like Blaine. Not big, sweaty jocks like you.
Dave: But...
Sue: Gay boys like you don't live happily ever after - they don't get to fall in-love. Especially ones who were once (past tense in this sense) mean bullies like you.
Dave: But I love him.
Sue: I'm sorry, but that is not the "normal" way gay romances have gone.
Dave: *sad face*
The Shrek 2 movie plot I think would work well for a Kurt/Dave fic, in my opinion. I like the idea that not everything happens like you expect it to (just because it's a tradition doesn't mean that you must always follow it), that beauty truly resonates from the inside, and that anyone can find love.
Forgive me, if this whole thing seems corny and stupid! I thought it was interesting and had a relative point to our Kurtofsky ship. ^_^ Tell me what you guys think .
Lastly, on a silly note, I couldn't stop giggling at this: (human!Shrek and Dave Karofsky - Dear Lord, I've lost it!)
(Okay, I'm done here. I'm sorry you had to sit through this...)
