The 10th Kingdom! I WATCHED THAT TOO! Best fairytale title credits EVER. I have to rewatch it but I knew I loved it!
I've had the Bandit Queen well, Bandit Princess idea way back season 1 and how when Snow ascended to power her court are still a wee bit wary of Snow. Snow pretends she's not aware of it but she very much is.
If you're familiar with Queen of Attolia books, their reaction to Snow is kind of like how the nobility of Attolia reacted to Eugenides wary and masking it with contempt. I have serious feelings about Snow winning over the court. Snow's aware that people in the court supported Regina over her but can't prove it because they would always point out that Regina coerced them (like Voldemort).
And, she can't exactly go accusing people of being disloyal because she needs the nobility to stay in power.
So she plays the sweet and just card but and hides her craftiness. So people think its Charming and The Lady Red who holds the power, at first.
But slowly the people still loyal to Regina are bending to Snow's will. Rumors start to swirl about visits at midnight, about a slip of a girl waiting in bedrooms, wearing clothes a bandit would wear. Suddenly all the hostile Dukes are no longer hostile, and the more moderate people of their house become more prominent in court...
(I just have so many feels about Snow and Queenship!)
Yes, I feel like Rumpelstiltskin is involved somehow, the trickster, who stole away the Princess!
