I read hers and her brother story when I was in middle school. I cried, till I had no more tears.
During that time we also had class discussions, homework, personal studies and thesis on books like “The White Rose” ( a book about Sophie and Christofer School and their movement, wrote by their family ), “A Bag full of Marbles” (the autobiography of a French Jewish kid escaping the nazi persecution), “If this is a Man” (the autobiography of a Italian Jewish man slaving in a concentration camp) and so many others.
Little me red this books so many times, striving to be the person that would have helped in those moments, believing that all the adults had also learned this lesson and that collectively we were striving for a better, more united future. All of that, NEVER AGAIN.
But now I see all of these people, those ““adults”” whom should know better, being the worst possibile insults to humanity I have ever seen.
But I still strive to be the person that will help. The one that will help student protest, that will help children despite different backgrounds, that will help men and women who are persecuted.
And they will never take this from me. Because I learned. Because I see.
And because I promise myself that it would never happen again.
Her beautiful, extraordinary diary is available on Internet Archive. It was a transformative read for me, and her legacy has inspired my activism so much. Reading it, you can't help but be stunned by the brilliance and ferocity of her mind, and moved by the photos of her and her friends, all so earnest and wise beyond their years.
From what I remember Disney never touched Thumbelina, although there is a Don Bluth production.
A story that I love but that was never touched is the one of “Snowhite and Redrose”. It’s a tale of two sisters that live with their caring mother at the edge of the forest. They are so kind and lively that they befriend every animal in the forest, even a talking bear that they meet during winter. During the story they have disastrous meetings with an evil and greedy gnome, but I’ll let you read the rest of the story, I genuinely like it and don’t wanna make spoilers.
It has an happy ending, a Beauty and the Beast vibe and a lot of space if you want to integrate more fae/magic elements. Sorry if it’s confusing, English is not my first language.
okay so for mayyyybe a hypothetical OC-related project; are there any fairy/folk tales, ballets and similar that anybody is earnestly surprised Disney has basically never touched for movie adaptations? Or stories the company are just unlikely to play with? I might or might not be working on an "alternate princess lineup" from movies and a company (and been sharing the progress among personal friends).
Really if anybody has some suggestions/ideas it'd be deeply appreciated. I got about 5 (6, technically?) atm so it'd be nice to have a few more for the back pocket ^^;
They will not go.

This is terrorism.
Spread the information.
While we spent the last week watching horrors unfold in Lebanon, Israeli newspapers are shamelessly publishing articles claiming parts of Lebanese territory. If you think their only aim is to fight “terrorism” you are a bloody fool.
Thank you @anneemay for the notice
