First kisses sometimes wake slumbering princesses, undo spells, and spark happily ever afters.
Mine broke Bale.
Seventeen-year-old Snow has spent her life locked in Whittaker Psychiatric—but she isn’t crazy. And that’s not the worst of it. Her very first kiss proves anything but innocent…when Bale, her only love, turns violent.
Despite Snow knowing that Bale would never truly hurt her, he is taken away—dashing her last hope for any sort of future in the mental ward she calls home. With nowhere else to turn, Snow finds herself drawn to a strange new orderly who whispers secrets in the night about a mysterious past and a kingdom that’s hers for the taking—if only she can find her way past the iron gates to the Tree that has been haunting her dreams.
Beyond the Tree lies Algid, a land far away from the real world, frozen by a ruthless king. And there too await the River Witch, a village boy named Kai, the charming thief Jagger, and a prophecy that Snow will save them all.
Welcome to the official Stealing Snow blog tour, hosted by Bloomsbury Children’s!

Today I’m excited to tell you which Villains are my very favorite. If you know me, you know that I love Disney anything. I was born and raised in Portugal, in the country for that matter. I would wake up super early and work in my parents farm. When it was time for school I would hop on my bicycle and ride all the way thinking about all things Disney. There wasn’t many TV shows or toys like here and now. But there was the Disney channel. Disney was a very big thing in Portugal. I remember riding my bicycle, as fast as I could to try and catch latest show. All the way home I would think of all the movies and princesses, prince charming. But most of all I would think about the wicked Villains. As I’ve gotten older I’ve added more villains and its fun to see how my tastes had involved throughout the years. So today feels bittersweet, I get to reminisce about my young self and my favorite Villains.

Joshua Mattes is one of many, great artist out there. Joshua Mattes like me loves Disney villains. So you can see why I follow him on Deviant Art. This piece is amazing in so many ways! I had to represent him, I mean how could I not? look at that art!
Maleficent

Maleficent, Mistress of All Evil! When I was young I was so scared of her. But as I got old the more and more I liked Maleficent. When the movie Maleficent was released I was completely in love with her. You have to admit, you would become a villain as well if someone did to you as they did upon her 🙁
The art beside the original picture is for sell at Esty.com By Jeff Langevin. If you or anyone you know loves Maleficent. This is a beautiful art piece.The holidays are upon us. *hint hint* lol
Evil Queen
These images are not mine. They’re property of Disney. I do not claim the rights.
The Evil Queen was my very first villain. I love Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, it’s one of my top 5 Disney movies. When ABC announced “Once Upon a Time” I literally screamed lol. It was the news of the century ha-ha. Let me tell you. A show based on fair tales and they cast member Lana Parrilla as the evil queen? It was beyond great and the show is a hit on top of that. I couldn’t ask for a better Evil queen!
Ursula

Last but not least Ursula from little mermaid. I never liked her either but again as time went by the more I liked her. But now that I’m thinking, who did like the villains when they were little kids?What a silly thing to think ha-ha

This sounds like a marvellous retelling.
Growing up, we only had the Disney movies too. On cassette tapes. Yup, I’m that old, that I remember using the old VHS. We didn’t have the Disney Channel, I was a Cartoon Network child. I can’t name a villain that I liked growing up. Ursula was the closest to get to me liking her, but it wasn’t until I saw Anastasia that I fell in love with one evil bat, Bartok. He is just adorably evil. I’m still not fond of the Evil Queen though. She’s redeeming herself on the show, but not enough for me to actually like her. But since Once Upon A Time, my love for Captain Hook, and subsequent hatred for Peter Pan, grew (I couldn’t stand that boy even when I was a kid).
Love the post! And I just checked Joshua Mattes and he has amazing art!
Oh god yes! I had them in cassette tapes as well lol. AND omg Bartok!!!! He was cute lol. I remember him! Thank you so much for stopping by, hope you entered the giveaway, good luck xoxo

Ohh this is so fun! I have never been super fond of villains (which, like you said, is probably how most people feel!) but I did always feel sorry for them. Like, even though I was mad at them and wanted the “good guy” to win, I still had that little bit of me that felt bad for the villain, because you know that while the hero/heroine ended up with the HEA, the evil queen or whoever was basically going to be alone and miserable forever, and that always seemed like something I shouldn’t be rooting for Love this!
