If Snow White literally had “lips red as a rose, hair black as ebony, and skin white as snow,” she’d look like a walking nightmare.
honestly this sounds like the description of a vampire. Which would also explain how she convinced seven dwarves to let her stay with them. How she could control some animals to do her bidding. How she could sleep for a long time without aging. Why the hunter betrayed the queen for her, and why the queen wanted her heart, so she could be sure she was killed properly.
Shit, THIS is a retelling I want to read.
“Are you as good as they say?” the queen asked the huntsmen.
“Good enough,” he said shortly. “I’ve been in the business of hunting vampires for a few years now, and I’m not undead yet. I catch more grief from false leads than from the real thing. So how do I know this vampire of yours isn’t just a bad cough that’s been going around?”
The queen quirked a smile. “A mirror told me.”
The huntsmen looked more interested now. “She has no reflection?”
“She has no reflection. So unless she’s too beautiful for even a looking glass to dare paint her, I don’t think you need to worry about a false lead.”
#oh man the apple should be dipped in holy water #and then when the prince kisses her he cuts his lip on her teeth and the blood revives her #this makes too much sense (via roseapprentice)
I CANNOT RECOMMEND “SNOW GLASS APPLES” BY NEIL GAIMAN ENOUGH IN THIS CASE.
