I love the “it would solve all of the kingdom’s problems if we just made everyone a princess!” joke from Twisted, because it’s the perfect representation of the Princess’s character. ‘Making everyone a princess’ sounds stupid. ‘Princess’ is a specific, gendered individual title to start with, and taken at face value, it just seems like she’s saying just bestowing a royal title on everyone without actually changing anything about societal structures would magically force everyone to treat each other as equals, or as she puts it, “be nice”. She’s inarticulate. It’s a very immature and simplistic phrasing.

But then you realize that Ja’far never let her fully explain this idea before dismissing it, so she could have worked out the legal logistics of effecting real practical change - and during her reign she evidently does, since the policy successfully ensures all citizens are treated equally.

And then you realize why it’s so successful. ‘Making everyone a princess’ really just means recognizing that everyone innately deserves as much respect, kindness and autonomy as a member of royalty. That’s exactly what the Magic Kingdom needs. This is a country with an absolute monarchy, rampant political corruption, stark socioeconomic division, an excessively cruel legal system and widespread literal slavery when she inherits it. She gets rid of all of those problems because she refuses to compromise on basic ethics! Politicians, employers, landlords, law enforcement, prison staff, family members - nobody is allowed to mistreat their princess. You can’t financially exploit your princess. You can’t discriminate against your princess. You can’t deny your princess control over the governing of her country. You can’t own her as property. You can’t deny her proper legal representation. The implementation may glossed over, but the concept is sound!

In the beginning this character said “I just want to be free so badly! You slaves could never understand this feeling!” At the end she enshrines in law that human rights are universal, fundamental and inalienable and sovereignty resides in the people, i.e. the foundation of modern democracy.

#you know what that is? growth #have i said that i love twisted?#‘cause i do #and i love the princess!#‘you are kind and that’s enough’ it really is huh #i really want a fanfic about her just-post canon learning to live with ruling the kingdom and not having slaves anymore #and getting into the nitty-gritty of her revolutionary reforms #all while coming to terms with her grief for ja’far #like her canon arc was great but there’s so much to explore of how she goes forward afterward #am i gonna have to write it?#starkid twisted #twisted the untold story of a royal vizier #twisted
