Giving dwarf jobs away to non-dwarves though….something seems wrong. See what you started, Peter Dinklage? ---

Apparently Dinklage works on the _'I’ve got mine, Jack"_ principle. ---

So to reiterate… Snow White…isnt There may be A dwarf There’s no Prince Charming or love story And “fairest” is a mangling to mean most moral. Which means for a while the evil queen was. ---

> [@Pavelb1](#): > > Snow White…isnt > There may be A dwarf > There’s no Prince Charming or love story If the rumours are true you have to wonder why it is called Snow White at all. If you are that desperate to tell a completely different story that diverges in so many critical ways, why try to piggyback on the original? It just makes you look stupid. If you think your story is strong enough then write something original to tell it. ---
