i dont fully understand the idea of 'gritty retellings' or 'realistic retellings' of fairy tales that rely heavily on shock value and explicitly include 'dark material' (for example red riding hood often gets retold with more obvious depictions of csa) not because of like a ruined childhood sense or anything but more because i always fold my hands and think Yeah What Did You Think The Original Story Was About

catmask

and to add this on to be clear: i DO like retellings or explorations of stories that expand upon or dissect the original moral of long standing folktales However. sometimes people do this in a way that feels like someone opening a grilled cheese sandwich and saying YOOOOO DID YOU KNOW THERE WAS CHEESE IN THIS?

big fan of when a character dies and one of the people closest to them is so undone by grief and guilt that they start hallucinating them still being alive and having full blown conversations with them, only for it to be suddenly revealed that they've been interacting and conversing with their corpse this entire time while it becomes rotten and putrid and unrecognizable to everyone else. the gothic romance of it all.

and when the other people around them realize what's up and get soooooo mad about it like oh my god that's messed up that's not healthy you need to stop you need help... don't listen to them girl keep holding onto that bloated disintegrating corpse with a white knuckled grip until they have to physically tear you away from its side and you come away with handfuls of cloth and hair and fragments of bone clutched in your fists and the spaces between your teeth

idk how much this made the news in the Americas but the Hellenic coast guard watched as a vessel carrying more than 400 (some estimates say 700) migrants capsized and sank in the Mediterranean. 104 people survived. official death toll is 79 because the rest is missing, and might never be found. There are claims that many children were below deck.

Frontex and the Hellenic Coast Guard was aware of the vessel and the dangerous situation it was in for days, but did not intervene

The coast guard released this photo. They came this close but did not intervene. EU and the Greek coast guard sat and waited for this boat to sink
