aikaterini asked: What is your favorite fairy tale?
Honestly, I would say at the moment, Beauty and the Beast. I mean, the matter of Love Redeems is one of my favorite story tropes, and this fairytale (especially both Disney versions!) do it beautifully. Plus, when I was a kid, I always liked Beauty just because she was a nice, decent person (unlike her sisters). And Belle? Well, Belle might as well be describing me. Bookish, considered a bit weird, opinionated, wanting adventure...no wonder I identified with her so much in high school. It's definitely strange that both Disney versions are what I really associate with the fairytale, but...yeah, they are awesome.
