This is a fantastic, empowering rewrite to the damsel-in-distress version we all grew up hearing! I really appreciate how the mother is so used to surviving in a world where her own wild self is in danger that she tries to keep her daughter safe, but does not reject her outright. There’s a nuance to how you wrote that character that is important. I also like how “the huntsman” father is ambiguous: was he a man who killed a wolf, or a wolf who was killed, leaving only his tail...?
I'm so glad the piece resonated with you! I hadn't even thought of that dual aspect of the father character, that perhaps he himself was a wolf who was killed. I really like your perception of the mother, she's someone who I view as very sympathetic, but also perpetuating the cycle because of her own traumas.
Great imagery.!!The photooshoot is beautiful
Thanks Oma 🥰
