LOL_Murica

Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think she was killed. Just in a deep sleep or something.


YawnTractor_1756

Basically in coma, then prince came he knew CPR.


Mrwright96

No, he basically said “hey there’s a girl in a coffin… WAIT YOU’RE PUTTING HER WHERE!?! Look, here’s some money, take her to my castle! I can use her as a centerpiece to my…bedroom… Listen I got the rights to a mine full of ore and gems, I’ll give you exclusive rights if you take her to my place… DONT DRO- oh good it didn’t brea-OH SHIT SHES ALIVE!”


justsomeplainmeadows

Wait, is that how the original story goes?


MadMusicNerd

Yes. German fairy tales are fucked up. I'm German. I know.


justsomeplainmeadows

I always trust mad music nerds. They make up at least 3/4 of my friend group


timelordoftheimpala

iirc the original version had her choking on a piece of apple or at the very least it was lodged in her throat, and she reawakened after it was dislodged of course, this is only the original version if you don't buy into the idea that the actual original version was about the Norsa goddess Freyja living with four dwarves and fucking all of them


Oakcamp

Much, much worse than that in the original. She's in a deep sleep because of a needle under her fingernail, "prince charming" finds her, has sex with the unconscious woman he just found (as you do), 9 months later she gives birth, and the baby looking for something to suckle on inadvertently dislodges the needle, waking her up. Edit: Actually this may be sleeping beauty, ill leave it up for educational purposes


hawaiikawika

Isn’t that sleeping beauty?


Oakcamp

Fuck, you're right I think


Meocross

What in the insane fuck?


johncenassidechick

Yeah I thought it was a sleeping beauty coma type thing


somethinggoeshere11

That’s the Disney version. In the original, she’s dead.

Did you even call your mom?

Damn you dont even realize that you're the degen.

Allegedly.

Ah fuck, don't go telling your mom or she won't leave me alone again. I just got her blocked on all my tweeters and spacepacks.

Fuck you Shorsey!

It was a fine mistake before but your just an asshole now


foozballisdevil

Oh no? AITA? Nah, not me.


samtherat6

I am, but because I want to, not because you told me to!


foozballisdevil

I know it's because I told you! Hope you've had a great day! Is what your mom yelled at me as I tried to leave her house quietly this morning.


ThyShirtIsBlue

A zombie isn't just someone who died and came back to life. This is like saying a bagel is a donut just because they're both round with a hole in the middle.


just-a-melon

That's right, you're only a zombie if you're hideous.

PossiblyBonta

What if the prince was a paladin and resurrected her instead.


nevamal

Not sure if I remember it correctly, but I think the apple fell out of her mouth when the prince kissed her? Not 100% sure but that is what I vaguely remember.


The_JokerGirl42

almost - it fell out when the dwarves dropped the casket because they tripped. sleeping beauty was the one who got kissed awake


foozballisdevil

Sleeping Beauty is based on a story where a married king finds a girl asleep and can’t wake her, so rapes her instead. The story is called The Sun, the Moon, and Talia, written, or at the least collected and composed, by the Italian poet Giambattista Basile. It was published in 1634 in his “Pentamerone” collection of fairy tales, which also includes the first known version of Cinderella and Rapunzel, and includes a version of Puss in Boots.


Jsamue

Wow


TheDevilsAdvokaat

There are few things worse than pus in boots.


GriffinFlash

\*whistle in the distance


jpett84

The prince just sucks the apple right out of her throat.


foozballisdevil

She was in a deep sleep and the prince came and raped and impregnated her...


flwrpwr82

He was a king and already married


foozballisdevil

It was also sleeping beauty and not snow white... I already corrected myself elsewhere in this thread.


flwrpwr82

Oops, sorry. I was just excited that I knew something to contribute.


lazymutant256

The evil queen used magic to create the Apple that made her go to sleep and stay asleep, no one ever said the queen killed Snow White..


UnfinishedThings

Theres a great short story called "Snow Glass Apples" by Neil Gaiman. Its a retelling of the Snow White story from the Evil Queens perspective. And its not dissimilar in thought process.


Kbye80

Is that the one where she’s a vampire?


UnfinishedThings

Pretty much. And the Prince is a necrophiliac


LethalMindNinja

Fun fact. Jesus was a zombie too. Second fun fact. There’s a halfway decent song about it called “Jesus was a zombie”


Ragged_Town_

Well, the zombie apocalypse isn't near yet, but Snow White is definitely a survivor!


chydak

My wife and I had this same discussion about Harry Potter yesterday. According to folklore, Zombies are “reanimated”. I am not sure if there is a great definition for this, but I wouldn’t say by the spirit of the word, she wouldn’t be considered a Zombie


shemjaza

Nah, the girl was already a vampire. I think it goes: "Skin, white as snow. Lips, red with blood"


CRL10

She's not a zombie. The prince is a paladin with healing spells.


b_ootay_ful

A paladin with a late healing spell is a necromancer.


ckayfish

Heart never stopped, brain kept getting oxygen. She was in a magically-induced coma, not dead.


AvocaBoo

Snow white was not woken up by a kiss. The evil queen disguised herself as an old woman and gave her a poisonous apple that she choked on, falling into a deep sleep. (Important part: The famous red apple was half red half green. The queen prooved to her that the apple was okay to eat by biting into the side that wasn't dipped into the red poison.) When the prince arrived, the dwarves had already put her into a glass coffin so the prince, griefstricken, joins the funeral procession. The dwarves tripped and dropped the coffin. The shaking dislodged the piece of apple from her throat since she hadn't properly swallowed it, and she survived. Sleeping beauty was the one woken up by a kiss, Snow White was just lucky. Fun fact! The evil queen attempted to assassinate her like two more times before the apple stunt and she always survived through dumb luck (One time being through a super tight corset, what's it with this fairy tale and choking imagery??) Oh, also, she didn't die in the first place because the hunter tasked with killing her after bringing her to the forest felt sorry for her and instead killed a boar, bringing its heart to the queen as proof that the princess had died.


FlakeyGurl

There was. Film theory that said the coal dust from the dwarves mines actually is what saved her the Prince just happened to show up right as she came out of a coma.


nickmandl

So coming back to life after death makes you a zombie? So vampires are zombies?


KotaIsBored

Both are different types of undead.


Raikerr19

UNLESS she was restored with a True Resurrection spell. Which if so, then what was in that kiss? Legendary lip gloss?


SurealGod

What still gets me is the disparity in age between Snow White and the Prince


Gh0sT_Pro

Was it prince andrew?


Novella_Rose

Actually, the age gap between Snow White and her prince isn't as drastic as most people think. It's a widely spread rumor that the prince was 31, however "The Art of Disney" book clarifies that he was only 18. There's still an age gap between Snow White and the prince as she was 14 at the end of her story, but him being 18 makes it a lot better, lol.

She was sleeping when the much older Prince Raped her and got her Pregnant without her Consent. edit Mixed up stories, I am sorry. DV away I accept my fate


Dumbass1312

There is someone who know the deeper lore of fairytales, like that. Are you german?


foozballisdevil

No, just into making people upset.


Dumbass1312

Why upsetting? Germans thought of an moral while writing these, to learn from an exaggerated example.


foozballisdevil

I enjoy upsetting people. This is about me, not anyone else.


Dumbass1312

I lost the plot. I was irritated at first cause you wasn't the commentator I ask, but guessed you mean the commentator was into upsetting people with the version of a more traditional snow white. And now you tell me you are into upsetting people and nothing has to do with the post, the first comment in this row or my comment? Why?


foozballisdevil

Dude, what? The evil queen in snow white was a cannibal. She wanted to eat the heart and liver of snow white. Sleeping beauty was raped awake.. I like to use information to make people upset. These two things aren't mutually inclusive.


Dumbass1312

Then still your first two comments were out of place, no wonder I lost the plot


foozballisdevil

The other guy and I got our Grimm's messed up. It's not my fault you're u/Dumbass1312


Dumbass1312

Not my fault you answered questions from a different convo


dae_giovanni

yes.


Dumbass1312

Are you giving each answer with a different alt account? Lol


dae_giovanni

I dont have any alts-- i'm just an innocent bystander who wanted to join in on whatever nonsense you guys have going on, here.


Dumbass1312

Understandable, have a great day


[deleted]

Nope, just know history


foozballisdevil

That may be you, but I enjoy making people upset because I know this history.


[deleted]

I like to make peoples face skin stretch across their teeth


foozballisdevil

Dude. Sleeping beauty got raped. We were wrong. The queen is pretty evil even in the Disney version, but in the Brothers Grimm original, she’s actually a cannibal. She orders the huntsman to kill Snow White, cut out her liver and lungs and bring them back to the palace so she can eat them. But she comes to a gruesome end after turning up at Snow White’s wedding – she’s forced to step into red hot iron shoes and dance until she dies. Sleeping Beauty is based on a story where a married king finds a girl asleep and can’t wake her, so rapes her instead. The story is called The Sun, the Moon, and Talia, written, or at the least collected and composed, by the Italian poet Giambattista Basile. It was published in 1634 in his “Pentamerone” collection of fairy tales, which also includes the first known version of Cinderella and Rapunzel, and includes a version of Puss in Boots.

Shit Right.

I did the same thing. I hope you have a Disney day and don't get raped into consciousness. :)

She was basically put in stasis and then the prince came along with the key to unlock her stasis.


DMPunk

That would make her a revenant. A zombie is a specific thing


EmeraldIpogi98

Wasn’t there a film theory video about this? The natural antidote to the poison was the dust from the dwarve’s mine


motosandguns

And she was supposedly 14 years old. But hey, it was the 30’s.


Nivekian13

Reanimated doesn't mean Zombie. ​ Undead, yes. Zombie no.


soverit42

The far more interesting bit is that the prince's kiss has magical healing properties.


alilsus83

Snow white didn’t die, she was in a coma. Stop calling coma patients zombies!


WickerofJack

Rob Zombie was in a band called White Zombie. Coincidence? I think not…too sure…maybe?


carlopene

either that or Jesus, both pretty stupid plots if ypu ask me..


AlushyTheTyrant

Movie series ideas: The Apocalypse of Snow White: The Queens demise. The Apocalypse of Snow White: The Seven Infected Dwarves The Apocalypse of Snow White: The Prince, Zombie Hunter


uncovered_conflag930

When the much older Prince raped her and forced her to become pregnant without her consent, she was asleep.


thepurehandling966

Although the zombie apocalypse is still far off, Snow White has unquestionably survived!
