This was really great! And I was just in a very fairy-tale mood, too…
You pulled from so many different story/fairy-tale archetypes, and built something together with them that really pulled at my heartstrings in so short a time.
I really mean it; to some extent, it felt bit like in High School Lolita, with the contrast between the pastel/storybook presentation and all the pain and anger violence underneath it all… I found it very effective and moving; but also very funny at times (I love Caleb’s himbo energy), and thankfully hopeful too.
