Look, you call it a beauty and the beast retelling and I'm there. Often to complain about it, but definitely not in this case.
I love how this was both a queer retelling of the original fairy tale and an excuse to ask some REALLY good questions, such as: what as WRONG with the dad? Why romantic love? Why all the secrecy?
And Gray's retelling either accounts for or straight-up ditches those elements and still manages to tell the beauty and the beast story. It was so fun.
Also, I <3 Daisy forever.
