Working on this final creative project has been very time consuming but I am thrilled to almost be done with the semester! #grimm22

At first I thought it was odd to make the devil be depicted as a dragon but after some research, I learned that dragons are the symbol for evil which would make sense for why the devil is a dragon. #grimm22

My friends and I are planning on watching "Tangled" tonight and I am so excited to see the similarities and differences between the Grimm's version and the movie adaptation #grimm22

How does the devils grandma deceive him? Doesn't family come first? #grimm22

[Amaliasdsu @amaliasdsu]

It's interesting that peasants are characterized as poor and uneducated but the peasant that found a devil in his field completely outsmarts him not once but twice! I thought Devils are supposed to outsmart everyone, so it was interesting to see the roles being reversed. #Grimm22

[Amaliasdsu @amaliasdsu]

The ultimate revenge for a king would not be taking away his crown but it would be to lower his status and make him do peasant work for the rest of his life. Just as seen in "Devil + 3 Golden Hairs" #Grimm22

I am feeling very excited and more prepared for my final creative project #Grimm22

[Amaliasdsu @amaliasdsu]

How does a little garden gnome beat a huntsmen unconscious? lol #Grimm22

[Amaliasdsu @amaliasdsu]

The Fox set up his own misfortune. Why would he pretend to die just to test his wife's loyalty to him? Obviously after some grieving, women are expected to move on and become happy with someone new. They are not supposed to be miserable and die alone. #Grimm22

[Amaliasdsu @amaliasdsu]

I am stoked to see the role of the Cat be characterized as humble, friendly, and most importantly, an intelligent female. Much of these fairytales forget to include intelligent female leads, so it's nice to see it, even if the female role takes the form of a cat. #Grimm22

[Amaliasdsu @amaliasdsu]

After all of the trauma and abuse Two Eyes endured from her sisters, why would the fairytale end with her forgiving them? In my opinion, the fairytale would have been a happily ever after without the sisters return and instead living horrible lives w/o their sister. #Grimm22

[Amaliasdsu @amaliasdsu]

I sometimes wish fairytales had more of a back story. If everyday the servant went to serve the king his covered dish, what intrigued him to uncover it this time? Also, where does the daily dose of this white snake come from? #Grimm22

[Amaliasdsu @amaliasdsu]

I have to say, watching the fairytales come to life through Claymation was very entertaining to watch. I liked the change of how in "Rapunzel" the prince loses his eye sight by a spell Mother Gothel put on him. This was definitely less violent/gory than Grimm's version. #Grimm22

[Amaliasdsu @amaliasdsu]

Its interesting to see how "Blue Beard" and "Old Rinkrank" relate in the way they are both considered ugly beings because of their beards. I wonder if when these stories were written if it was unattractive or looked down upon for men to grow out their beards. #Grimm22

[Amaliasdsu @amaliasdsu]

Was anyone else not expecting there to be a bloody body behind that secret door? Or is that just me?... #Grimm22

[Amaliasdsu @amaliasdsu]

It's quite peculiar that the father in "The Frog Prince" tells his daughter she must fulfill the promise made to a frog...what kind of father allows his daughter to sleep with a dirty, slimy, stinky frog?! #Grimm22

[Amaliasdsu @amaliasdsu]

Gotta love when a woman takes control of the situation! I thought all of these fairy tales would have the same element of sextual assaults, infidelity, and forced love. However, "The Glass Coffin" has shown me otherwise and I'm living for this new storyline. #Grimm22

[Amaliasdsu @amaliasdsu]

#Grimm22

[Amaliasdsu @amaliasdsu]

I wonder how the title went from Sun, Moon, and Talia to The Sleeping Beauty to Little Briar Rose. Does anyone have any insight on how or why the titles changed to how they did?

[Amaliasdsu @amaliasdsu]

Zipes created an interesting way to end "Snow White" because why did the evil queen decide to put red hot iron slipper and dance until she died? That seems like a very disturbing way to die...and not to mention at a wedding?! #Grimm22
