Beauty and the Beast – Thomas Blackshear

BEAUTY by Robin McKinley

Beauty has never liked her nickname. She is thin and awkward; it is her two sisters who are the beautiful ones. But what she lacks in looks, she can perhaps make up for in courage.

When her father comes home with the tale of an enchanted castle in the forest and the terrible promise he had to make to the Beast who lives there, Beauty knows she must go to the castle, a prisoner of her own free will. Her father protests that he will not let her go, but she answers, “Cannot a Beast be tamed?”

Robin McKinley’s beloved telling illuminates the unusual love story of a most unlikely couple, Beauty and the Beast.

The boy understood, that his father was a monster.
And that only awakened the monster in him.

#the whole acknowledged monster-as-masculinity thing in this film #really did it for me #like…… really did it #dragon-fathers who burn up stolen women and exchange them as fuel for sons #young men grappling with their fathers being monsters toward their mothers #young het women navigating a world where their lovers have monsters for fathers #it was beautiful i fet like the top of my head was aflame with how good #and the dragon Armand was so beautiful and gentle and trying to be good even with that baggage #the female gaze so sharp framing him – always naked and exposed and vulnerable #i want to rewatch #he didnt want to be a dragon!!!! / @corseque
