Fairy tales usually are
Seriously
They're pretty disturbing when you read them
I was looking through Hans Christian Andersen's original fairy tales and they're... creepy.

(disturbing) fun fact:
in the original cinderella the sisters cut off parts of thier feet to fit into the slippers 

Isn't it great??? 

And such is the way of the world...

"And shot her in the bowels with a crossbow". 

In the original Snow White, The Queen was forced to dance in hot iron slippers until she fell down dead.

that reminds me
"Ring around the rosy
A pocketful of posies
"Ashes, Ashes"
We all fall down!"
that scary childrens rhyme is from the great plague

I was thinking of that too but I didn't think it fell as a "fairy tale"
