I didn't even notice the Little Mermaid similarity until now, especially since, besides that superficial plot point, it's the anti-LM.
You're right. He's evil. But you should see him naked. I mean really!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I have always loved Cinderella, esp when I was a girl, but my go-to Cinderella wasn't the Disney version. I like the one where her sister cuts off her toe.
Other favorite fairy tales: Little Mermaid, The Dancing Princesses, and The Wild Swans. And Anne Sexton's One Eye, Two Eyes, Three Eyes.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I like the one where her sister cuts off her toe.
Turn back! Turn back! There's blood on the track!
I got some of Ben Stein's Money for knowing they make the wicked step mother dance in red-hot iron shoes at the wedding. How festive!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I like the one where her sister cuts off her toe.
And the other one cuts of her heel.
I really like The Snow Queen. I think about it whenever someone becomes someone I don't feel like I know anymore.

Don't forget that the birds from Cinderella's mother's grave came to her wedding, perched on her shoulders, and poked out her stepsisters' eyes as they walked beside her up the aisle and back down afterward.

Always Anti-fascist!
Never really wanted to be a princess. Although I would have taken years off my life to do at least one Jedi Mind Trick.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Does anyone here have a strong opinion, one way or the other, on Ruby Payne's books on poverty?

For me, the allure of fairy tales wasn't being a princess. It was the heady combo of danger, abandonment, sexuality, and magic.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Cash, not a strong opinion, but I think they're useful as entry-level books for people who need to examine their social assumptions. There's a lot of generalizations, but for people so rooted in Middle Class thinking that they have no conception of life without Little League (or soccer league, or ballet class, etc), they're effective.
