“When her kiss transforms the Beast, she is furious. “You should have warned me! Here I was smitten by an exceptional being, and all of a sudden, my fiance becomes an ordinary distinguished young man!“”
— the 1909 play Beauty and the Beast: Fantasy in Two Acts by Fernand Noziere, the very first published version of the story where the Beauty is disappointed when the Beast transforms into a human at the end. (via corseque)
1909. This isn’t a Millenial thing. Their grannies even wanted to fuck The Beast.
I suddenly feel the need to remind people that this goes waaaay back. Y'all did not invent thinking Monsters can be sexy. This is Old Magic.
