…what the prince and princess might actually be doing

[CW: consent issues (kissing)]

This is kind of a pet theory of mine, produced by my random and fairly damn quirky imagination…

What if, in fairytales and Disney movies, when the prince kisses the sleeping princess to wake her up, they just forgot to show that he’s also pinching her nose & doing chest compressions???

Like, it’s literally the ‘kiss of life’ people!

…My brain is weird, and I’m OK with that ;)

(Bet I made you think, though — in which case, my work here is done.)
