Artist Imagines What Would Happen If Disney Princesses Visited A Psychotherapist (10 Pics)

Awwww... Ariel looks so sad!

I hate this criticism of The Little Mermaid. Ariel felt she belonged in the human world LONG before she met Eric. Meeting him wasn't even the catalyst to her changing herself--that would be her father destroying everything she loved and telling her to give up her dreams of the place she felt she truly belonged. Her change had very little to do with some man and a LOT to do with her feeling she was living in the wrong body and in the wrong life. Honestly I'm shocked the trans community hasn't come out defending The Little Mermaid against this kind of criticism because it's exactly what many trans people deal with themselves.

She felt uncomfortable as a mermaid long before Eric came on the scene. She was always fascinated by the human world. Eric didn't suddenly spark that interest. It's absolutely not toxic to know you're not happy somewhere, in the body you're born with and long for a place you feel you belong to. Isn't that the same for trans people? Of course, she sees and falls for Eric but he further fuels her desire to move to a world she feels is compatible to her. King Triton destroys her treasure trove which is why she goes to Ursula to become a human. It was her father not understanding how she didn't fit in her environment and longed to be in the human world with Eric that fuels her to take the drastic step. Only people who've been rejected by their parents for their identity and beliefs can truly understand Ariel. The rest conveniently refer to her as spoilt only because she has a mind of her own.

My daughter has a book where the little mermaid chooses to go back to the sea.

She also gave up her voice in exchange for a vagina

So true!

yea but she gained the dwarfs trust and they gained hers.... it was a mutual trust and cleaning agreement lol

Me: Evil Queen! Don't you dare give me the apple. Store clerk: Sir, these are the apples you purchased, I was just ringing them up. Now please step aside and let the next customer through..

It's also not like she knew that prince very well before she married him.

T-R-U-E

HAAAAAA!!!!!!🤣

But the problems with washing that hair tho.

After all, the kingdom was named Corona.

yah thats rite, also, u didnt get my eye colour right

No disney princess should

This one made me laugh XD

The therapist obviously didn't see the sequel.

She didn't

I doubt it.

XD

But he let her go and she willingly came back, which means he’s no longer her captor. Though it could be Stockholm Syndrome.

wait until Belle learns about Stockholm syndrome...

Hmm, a thing that looks like an animal but can talk, dresses in clothes like a human and seems to have the understanding of a human being. Ok, he hasn't physically hurt me or sexually assaulted me and he's feeding me and giving me a nice room and clothes; maybe there is a really good story here.

But that library!

Ya have to admit tho.... the books thing sounds pretty great. (at least if u love to read as much as me)

Aww these are pretty funny!

she can’t help it. it’s the predefined fate of the predictable princess story. F A T E

I can hear the sarcasm in his voice, heh.

These are a hard smack of reality

When I read the story of Cinderella to my daughter I would usually add, when they were dancing, "they talked and talked and really got to know each other."

For anyone who read one of the old versions of the story this is especially apt.

In the Disney one the prince is pretty much told he needs to kiss her otherwise she'll be stuck like that forever, alongside most of the kingdom. If we want to get picky we need to speak to Merryweather about making the kiss part of her counter curse/wish for the princess... the original tale however, wow, it's dark!

So did the Prince go all the way instead of just kissing her?

Poor Sleeping Beauty was abused for a long time by her prince. And her mother-in-law tried to kill her as well as her children.

They should...well not Disney should, but some sort of producer should remake this movie based off the true story. It’s actually pretty fccked up

Technically the genie made him a prince so he didnt lie-

She started the lie! She posed as a vagabond

I mean. In the end she knew who he was, and HE saved the entire Kingdom not to mention her and her Father from an evil Sorcerer.

Mhm.
