Everyone loves me. Everyone loves my beauty. But there's a filthy secret lurking underneath this beguiling face of mine. I don't know what I've done so well in my life that heaven has bestowed upon me this enchanted flower, which will grant my desire to be young again. Be yourself? Hah! You're funny. Who would desire an old lady Gothel with gray hair, wrinkled skin, and an earthy bad odor? Nobody, honey. Nobody. I'm a narcissist? That's true, since I'm always thinking about myself. Why should I bother thinking about people who don't care about me? Everyone used to despise me because of my appearance, and now that I'm dang gorgeous, they all want to be with me? Fools. I thought there was no end to the euphoria I was feeling, but all of my hopes and dreams vanished like bubbles, and the powers ended up with a child that knew nothing but to crawl and wail in her cradle. I'd made up my mind. I'll get what is mine. That flower is mine. So now you're calling me the bad guy, huh? Of course! I don't blame you if that's what you're thinking. Who would be considered a good person if they kidnapped an innocent child who was oblivious of the rest of the world? Well, I don't give a shiz. I mean, who cares? I'll do whatever it takes just to be happy. Flower gleam and glow Let your powers shine Make the clock reverse Bring back what once was mine 🎶 You got it right, my dear. I took the child, showered her with love, and raised her as my own. But people really can't be satisfied even if you give them everything they want. One day, they will wish to break free from the tower you built. They felt imprisoned, but all you wanted to do was keep them safe from the awful beasts outside. What did I gain from being a good mother to a child I never had? Nothing. I died alone, while the child I was raising went with a stranger she had only just met. Poor Gothel. Maybe in my next life I'll take care of my skin and drink enough of water so I don't have to kidnap another child who will eventually kill me. 😪 ©️KemiGranger Img Source: Reddit
