My Ruined Childhood!

Assalamualaikum and a very good evening I bid to bla.. bla.. bla...

You get it.

Well, growing up in a normal neighborhood, my childhood years had been filled with the attempt of trying to become all the Disney princess characters (Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel, and ect) and hoping for a happily-ever-after in my life.

Yeah, I dreamt all day long. Good old times.

The Disney slogan - "Where Dreams Come True".

I dreamt of a cruelty-free world.

But then, 10 years later, I discovered the internet.

What I discovered shocked me and devastatingly ruined my childhood dreams forever!

How was my childhood ruined?

Well, let me tell you the top 3 most dark endings of the so-called happily-ever-after we had been fed by Disney.

1. Cinderella

The Weird Prince

• Well, rather than catching Cinderella like a normal person would (like running for instance), in the Grimm's version, the Prince instead spreads tar on the palace steps, hoping that Cinderella would get stuck as she tries to flee. His plan however fails, and only her shoe was left sticking in the tar. 

Cinderella's Masochist Step-sisters

• They, on the other hand, attempted to fool the Prince into marrying them. How? Well, one of them sliced off her big toe so that she may fit the slipper, while the other sliced off her own heel. Wait, what? 
• Their deceit were revealed by Cinderella’s 'enchanted' birds (I mean, how on earth would those birds be able to know anyway? They must have been enchanted!) pointed out the blood on their stockings to the Prince. 
• Both of the step-sister’s eyes were pecked out as punishment for their cruelty and deceit. 

Creepy or what, right?

2. Pinocchio

The Blamed Gapetto

• Pinocchio teased Gepetto mercilessly and then ran away.
• While chasing Pinocchio, Gepetto was caught by a police officer who then threw the sad old man in prison, believing he is abusing the puppet. What a freaking injustice! 

Pinocchio Killed the Cricket

• When Pinocchio FINALLY returned to Gepetto’s house he met a 100-years-old cricket who told him that naughty boys turn into donkeys. 
• Being the arrogant, selfish, self-absorbed, freaking.... (you get it)  boy he was, Pinocchio threw a hammer at the cricket and killed it. Yup, the cricket died.

The Blue Fairy

• Pinocchio somehow ends up nearly getting burned as fire wood but then he bites off an evil cat’s paw and meets a beautiful blue haired fairy who tells him she is dead and waiting for people to take her body away. 
• Yes, the fairy was actually a corpse. A walking, talking corpse to add.

Pinocchio Freaking Dies

• Reaching the ending, the puppet was then punished by death for being such a naughty boy
• Pinocchio then gets hung from a tree by the cat with the mutilated paw and the cat’s companion the fox, and they watch as Pinocchio suffocates to death. 

What a 360-degree reversal. 

3. Sleeping Beuty

The Deserted Castle

• Have you ever wondered why?

• Well for one, every single living thing (even the flies) in the kingdom fell into a deathlike slumber for a 100 years (yeah, they literally became corpses) after being cursed.

• Secondly, the rough thorny shrubs and vines which grew up around the castle were so thick that hundreds of young men who came from faraway lands, trying to make their way through the brambles to ‘gaze upon’ the sleeping princess (idiots, right? I mean, they should at least save her, not just 'gaze' upon her beauty!) got trapped in the thorns and died slow miserable deaths (well, they kind of deserved it, don't you think so?).

Sleeping Beauty was Knocked-up in her SLEEP!

• Eventually, on the 100th year, the curse finally ran off, and as a king rode by the castle, the brambles turned into flowers and opened for him. 

• No, the king did not awake a with a freaking kiss.

• The bastard king actually decided to rape the sleeping princess, thus impregnated her with twins. 

How Sleeping Beauty ACTUALLY Woke up?

• Sleeping Beauty somehow gave birth to the twins (while still in her slumber. Wait, WHAT?).

• One of the babies sucked the enchanted splinter from beneath her fingernail and THEN she finally awakens. 

The Evil Queen

• Of course the King had a queen at home.

• The queen attempted to have the babies slaughtered and fed to their father, 

• She also attempted to burn Aurora alive, but the king saves the day just in time

• The queen was burned instead, and they all live happily ever after. 

An awfully dark period, that was. I mean, they still lived happily ever after they had just literally burned a living person at stake. Not to mention, someone would ever think of slaughtering babies.

By the way, in the original version, the king who rapes Sleeping Beauty was actually her own father and that thought made me cringe every single time this story was mentioned. FREAKING DISGUSTING! I just can't...

So, that's the top 3 movie endings which disgusted me and royally destroyed my previous childhood dreams.

I could list more, but then, you wouldn't be able to handle those, thus resulting in you inability to eat for days, just like I experienced. So, just 3 for you babies.

Go along now. Bye bye...
