In which Disney is still a BAMF

I love Danneel Harris, and her romance with that Ackles boy is squeeworthy. Like, looking at the Lakers photos, I think I had a grin on my face the whole time looking at them. I love her, just love her.
Which is why, when one of the photos kind of made me do a double-take, I flipped out until I figured out what was wrong with it.
This is the photo in question:
And I was looking at it, and looking at it, and looking at her and thinking "she looks evil", like she could totally be glaring someone to death right there and they would for serious actually be dying, and then thinking "she looks familiar... where have I seen this before?"
And then I got it:
If you don't know who this is, you've had a severely depraved childhood and possible adolescence. If you recognise her, but can't place her, that's okay. This is Vanessa, from Disney's The Little Mermaid. To be more truthful, this is, of course, Ursula in a human disguise, but that disguise's name is Vanessa and she looks sweet...
but you know she's really a heartless octopus.
But I digress.
And then I thought "well hell, if you're going to bear a resemblance to a Disney villian, at least bear a resemblance to probably the most awesome, and hottest (but only in human form), Disney villian there is". And Danneel did. I don't care that Danneel looks evil, because she looks awesome doing so, and she looks like Vanessa, which is pretty doubly epic.
And sure, the title of most awesome Disney villian is of course debatable, and certainly a matter of personal opinion, but there's no denying that Ursula is one badass tentacled witch.
God bless you Danneel :)
And finally, take a read of this awesomesauce article thingy, which applies The Little Mermaid to an older audience.
