Sleeping Beauty (1959) turned 65, and it remains still such a beautiful film. It's one of my favourite quintessential fantasy films, and I adore princess Aurora and Maleficent!

I don’t know how many other people have put this together, but Thalia Grace is a version of sleeping beauty.
She’s basically cursed from birth. She’s a child of the big three born under the pact, so there was very little chance of her even making it to 16
The modern sleeping beauty is said to be based on a fable from the 1600s that’s named Sun, Moon, and Talia. Talia is the stories version of sleeping beauty, although her story is more grim than modern versions, and she is put to sleep with a splinter of flax. Talia and Thalia are very similar names, and CAN be pronounced the same
Thalia, in Greek mythology, is a muse, but it’s also a word. In Greek it means to flourish, to bloom, or to be joyous. Briar Rose is one of the more popular names for sleeping beauty, and she is named after a flower. So Thalia is named after something a flower does, which is flourish/ bloom. (This one’s a bit more of a stretch tbh)
Grace and beauty go hand in hand. Grace is also one of the gifts that sleeping beauty receives from the fairies in some adaptations of the fairytale.
Thalia Grace is put into a magical sleep for years to save her life, obvious one
Thalia Grace and Sleeping Beauty both have plants that grow around them/ on them that (in some adaptations) protect their ‘kingdom’.
In conclusion, Thalia Grace is a sleeping beauty retelling that I did not catch for like 8 years

saw a tweet that anya, who has jumped from orphanage to orphanage and house to house at such a young age, is building her perception of love through twilight and yor: the reassuring words twilight says to yor, yor’s constant acts of service for her family, and their overall warmth and trust to depend on one another, despite initially being complete strangers.
what i love about that and spy x family as a whole is that it doesn’t enforce love as something purely romantic or physical, but that it’s everywhere. love is in yor’s burnt fried eggs and twilight’s nagging to get homework done. it’s in the peanuts in the pantry, the family ootings, and in each stitch in anya’s penguin plush. despite having a rough childhood, it’s likely that anya will grow knowing that love is limitless and is sprinkled throughout everyday life, thanks to twilight and yor (and bond).
of course, love can also mean kissing
