I may have been reading too much fanfic (or just the right amount of fanfic, take your pick) because I was watching Brave with my kid today (for the first time, yes, hush, you) and when Merida got to the part about how it’s time to start a new tradition and let their children choose their partners and marry for love, I was like, now this is the cue for two of the princes to kiss, right? Right?

I mean, I wasn’t actually expecting it to happen. Not really; if nothing else, I would have heard about it if it had. But I could, like. Physically feel the space in the story where it should have happened.
