Bluebeard: Courtship
I am working on a personal project of a retelling/re-imagining of Bluebeard. As a kid, I had a picture book of the fairy tale and I remember loving it a lot. It was dark, something I’ve always been attracted to, and the art was beautiful. When I read it later as a teen, it was wrapped up too much in weird moral lessons to women, which was less attractive to me. I love fairy tales to just be fairy tales.
I am going to be true to my own little self and her love for the dark and beautiful, and changing it enough to please my current tastes.
A little Bluebeard bonus because I had a need to draw this as well xD
Bluebeard
SO after my computer dying right after I started working on this for my illustration class back…. 3 months ago OTL I had to start again from scratch and do everything traditional BUT I’m damn proud of those inked illustrations! I did a few drawings during the past 3 months, not as much as I’d like but still. I’ll post those little by little so I don’t spam xD
Bluebeard. Based on the incredibly creepy childrens story that you definitely shouldn’t read to your kids.
Bluebeard adaptations
My favorites, there aren’t enough adaptations of this story...
--- Foreword
The story is a mystery and, maybe, gothic romance (if I’m not wrong with the term).
Could be changed for dark/mystery romance where the lord is cursed and have a nice ending. I love fix-its.
I don’t mean wreck the story, by any means. I mean more like Snow queen/ Frozen adaptation. (Not making a case here I suppose. I mean different enough but not too different).
I don’t mean Disney but some Beauty-and-the-Beast-esque with a bit of Phantom of the Opera in there. Medieval, gothic and not modernized like how Dracula/vampires was modernized.
--- The Films
Now for the film adaptations which I recommend :
Sorry, they’re all in French. But if you get the chance, look them up.
- La barbe-bleue 1986 (Mystery, romance, jealousy)
-Barbe bleue 1951 (Comedy)
-Barbe-bleue 2008 (Nice medieval set, reminds me of Hammer films, has a funny pair of little girls, the bride is in early teens, not really romance)
“Think of Bluebeard’s castle: a girl can have all the easy riches, if only she promises not to seek the room that holds the bones.”
— C Pam Zhang, from “When Your Inheritance is to Look Away” (via voirlvmer)

Синяя борода - сомнительный человек со странностями. Bluebeard was a weirdo.
