The vocal layering?? The fuck?!
Okay. Okay. How do we interpret this.
There’s a possibility that this is just supposed to represent his voice getting corrupted as he’s taken over more and more by wild magic; that him having a different VA as pure Philip was to keep us from having his identity confirmed by the VA. That’s possible.
But with the “The Emperor is looking forward to meeting you”, and his eyes sometimes being blue and sometimes being green, I’m genuinely starting to wonder if there are two people inside Belos. If he and his brother are… combined, somehow. Some magical accident? Is that why he built a new body– not to put himself into, but to separate out his brother?
Looks like I’m writing that essay that nobody asked for, but the subject is still bothering me, so I’m going to do this anyway. So here it is, my defense of Disney’s Sleeping Beauty, and The Kiss.
Yes, I’m defending that kiss. The one that gets so many people up in arms because Aurora “didn’t consent”.
Before I dive into this, let me clarify what I’m not saying. I’m not saying Sleeping Beauty is a perfect movie, or above criticism, or that people who don’t like it are wrong for not liking it. Personal tastes are personal, and everyone has the right to like or dislike whatever movie for whatever reason.
What gets to me is when I see criticism that says Sleeping Beauty is objectively an inherently bad/problematic movie because of The Kiss, because that’s just not true. It’s fine if that’s someone’s squick or something, but it’s not inherently bad.
Context, context, context. Context is essential for this situation. We’re not talking about a situation where Philip stumbles across a random woman sleeping somewhere and decides “hey, this seems like a great moment for a make out session!”
Philip and Aurora know each other; they’re already in love (love at first sight is a whole separate issue that I’m not addressing in this post; canon establishes they are in love, and that’s that). Philip already knows Aurora has been cursed; the fairies told him. This is a rescue attempt.
In a fairy tale like this, True Love’s Kiss is a known solution for curses (such a known solution, Maleficent actually intended to use it as part of her plot by keeping Philip locked up 100 years and then releasing him so he could wake Aurora from her curse then, so he’d be old and soon die, and they’d never really be together).
He isn’t “making out with her because he thinks she’s hot” he’s trying to save her. I’d argue it’s the equivalent of CPR/mouth to mouth.
I actually just rewatched the scene where Philip kisses Aurora, and I think it’s very interesting to note that he actually doesn’t touch her any more than he absolutely has to; literally never puts hands on her until after she’s awake and happy to see him. So he actually respects her personal space as much as he possibly can given that situation.
Anyway, the tl;dr: Sleeping Beauty is not an inherently sexist/problematic movie just because the solution to the curse was True Love’s Kiss.

So I made a quickly and reallyyyy messy redraw of one of my favourite scenes of Kamen Rider W but with the anime's style

I don't think I've ever posted this, but this comic I've been commissioned rotates in my head every so often
