"I am actually a princess," the frog said.

"Oh no!" said the prince.

"My curse can only be lifted by a prince listening to me."

"Of course," said the prince, and bent down with puckered lips.

"What are you doing?!"

"Kissing you, like you asked!"

"No!"

The frog hopped away, muttering.

@MicroSFF Bog witch 10/10 at curse design and hexitecture. That one's never getting broken without *true* love.

In the meantime the frog princess has to live in the well, actually.

@MicroSFF OK, let's go.

What curse do you mean? What type of prince? What exactly do you mean by "listening"? And finally, why are you telling me this?

@MicroSFF Turns out the prince had hearing problems.

@AdmiralMemo @MicroSFF I choose to believe that the entire kingdom is fucked because his parents and their child-minders did not encourage him to listen better, even if he had a hearing disability.

And when you have the leadership of a kingdom and its household staff modelling inappropriate behaviour to the hereditary rulers, then something is drastically wrong and needs to be fixed.

@MicroSFF The realism in the part where he would literally rather kiss a frog than listen to a woman
