Book cover for Handsome and Hideous by Maria Fox. Main background color is dark blue with pinpoint white stars. There’s a crumbling octagonal tower with flying ravens in the background. Over that image is a tattered red rose attached to black thorns. The title and author’s name are in silver, as are the decorative motifs in the corners.

“It sounds awful when I say it out loud.” “True things often do.”
― Rachel Gillig, The Knight and the Moth

What Makes a Fairy Tale a "Fairy Tale"? Common elements of a story that make it a fairy tale.

It's not #romantasy, it's #fairytale

In the original # BeautyandtheBeast, the Beast isn’t the hero. He’s the task.
Beauty’s challenge isn’t romance — it’s discernment.
That’s fairytale logic.

Cheers.

What about a #BeautyandtheBeast retelling this weekend?

It's spring - a little magic, a touch of fairytale love in your day, would be just the thing.

Just finished Bryony and Roses, a reimagining of the tale of Beauty and the Beast by @tkingfisher.com. It was funny, sweet, well-paced, and engaging—a romantic story of how a green thumb saves lives!

illustration depicting a gothic re-imagining of the "Beauty and the Beast" fairytale. A 19th century woman and a goat-man monster embrace in a shadowy doorway. The library behind them is bathed in pale yellow sunlight. Goblins climb the tree-shaped columns flanking the door.

Between the shadows

Woman clothed half in a blue dress and half in armor. Her eyes are shrouded. A moth flutters close to her hand.

What's up next, Bartholomew?

Symbolism of the Rose in Beauty and the Beast Roses play a significant role in many Beauty and the Beast stories. Let's explore what they symbolized in the original fairytale.

OG #BeautyandtheBeast tidbit

Rose, rose, pick me a rose

Louis XV's mistress, Madame de Pompadour, France's 18th c social influencer, was rendered in paintings dressed in lavish gowns w/rose embellishments + often set in a rose garden.
