Sleeping Beauty Horror - Tumblr Posts

I am relatively new to the Netflix series The Sandman, but something occurred to me as I was watching it. Rose Walker's great grandmother, Unity Kincaid, had fallen ill to 'Sleepy Sickness' as a consequence of Dream's capture by Rodrick Burgess.

I was watching how she was like 'I am your great grandmother Rose.' and just imagine how it must have been when she was first pregnant with ABSOLUTELY ZERO CONTEXT.

Nurses and doctors must have been so damn horrified that someone might have pulled the original Sleeping Beauty on her.

For those that don't know how that went down, in summary, basically the prince (or king, I need to further look this up had done the no no to the comatose princess and she got pregnant, giving birth in her sleep. Then she wakes up, marries her 'savior' and the 'evil witch' was the jealous ex wife that attempted to save her... (or kill her idk)

Imagine the sheer horror and everyone being suspicious of the men of the office, the nurses just keeping a hawk-like eye on all of their comatose patients, especially the women.

Sorry for the rant, I was on the bus listening to Prime Mover by Ghost when I realized just as I was on the cusp of falling asleep. I had to write this down and share.

Thank you for listening to my TED talk. If you have anything else you noticed please let me know.
