this post has haunted me for like 3 years. every time i start to think i imagined it, it shows up on my dash again and then immediately disappears into the ether for another 17 months
tiny brain: fairy tales i.e. beauty and the beast, snow white, and cinderella are romantic

I just kinda played the game
