Oct. 19th, 2023 03:59 pmChangelings is a reference to the myth of fairies abducting children and replacing them with "changelings" or "faerie-babies". The Blue Fairy also mentions that the Black Fairy steals children. It is also a subtle reference to the original version of Beauty and the Beast by Gabrielle-Suzanne de Villeneuve: In the story, it is revealed that in order to protect Beauty when she was a baby, the good fairy, upon discovering that a merchant's baby daughter had died, took the dead girl away and left Beauty in her place.
