queenslayerbee: Encarna covers her head partially with a veil, dressed in black, to offer a poisoned apple to Blancanieves after she’s finished in the bull ring. Everything in the image is in black and white, like in the film, but everything except encarna is blurred, and the apple looks crimson red. (encarna (blancanieves))

Tasha is a girl. She dances, standing gobbly yet proud on her tippy-toes. In the stage, she opens like a fresh flower, colourful, calling attention amidst her sturdier companions.

Natalia is a child. She follows when she can swallow the commands; when she doesn’t, she’s punished. In the Red Room, she wilts, grey petals falling and being torn alike at others’ will.

The Black Widow is an agent, an Avenger, a one-woman army. In the field she blooms, she freezes, she blooms again. She flourishes, she hurts. In constant transformation, never still or static, forever changing, is where she thrives.
