OK, I just realized something...(I may've been the last person to do it, but whatever)
Robin Wright is in the movie "Damsel", with Millie Bobby Brown.
Robin Wright previously, famously, played Buttercup in "The Princess Bride", who was also a princess.
But Buttercup was very pretty passive throughout the movie. She argued with Prince Humperdinck that Westley would come and rescue her, but she never tried to escape herself, and she never drew a sword and tried to fight him or anyone to try to win her freedom.
Whereas "Damsel" is the story of a princess who saves her own damn self. So it's kind of like Robin Wright's princess-era passing the torch to Millie Bobby Brown's.

Netflix’s ‘Damsel’ is Anything But in Distress
By now, it’s safe to assume that most people are familiar with the damsel in distress trope. Once upon a time, there was a meek young woman, usually a princess or royal of some sort, trapped in a castle. Sad, alone, and defenseless, she waits atop her tower/prison for a prince to come and save her, whisking her off to her happily ever after. This is the fairy tale dream we’ve been selling to…

throws my giant dump of drawings in here
this is an au setting my wife and i made up and we throw different characters into it sometimes bc its a fun way to study character tropes and such <3
the basis is that everyone gets a like magic seed when theyre born and they plant the seed once they hit puberty and then as they grow, the plant grows with them and eventually spits out an animal to be their life companion, known as a familiar.
the familiar fully forms when the person feels like they've 'found' who they are. so for some people it can be while theyre in high school while for others it can take longer (or in some cases, never form). the animal has to be an animal the person as seen before with their own two eyes so its very common for teenagers to go on a 'familiar trip' when they're getting close to 18 to try and broaden their horizons and see a bunch of new creatures.
i wrote out a bunch abt the setting and nothing at all abt the character choices but this is too long so if u want to hear the list of match ups/my decisions pls ask me here or on @alwayscobrakai <3 all u Need to know is that daniel has a mongoose (ofc) and johnny has a hornet. thank u for ur time
