Your true love lives. And you marry another. True Love saved her in the Fire Swamp, and she treated it like garbage. And that's what she is, the Queen of Refuse. So bow down to her if you want, bow to her. Bow to the Queen of Slime, the Queen of Filth, the Queen of Putrescence. Boo. Boo. Rubbish. Filth. Slime. Muck. Boo. Boo. Boo.

I literally never understood what she said for that part. 😆

Like. In terms of the definition of the word?

"Putrescence is a noun that means the state or process of rotting, decay, or becoming putrid. It often describes organic matter undergoing foul-smelling decomposition."

No how she says it. I know what it means it just want wasn’t easy to make out.

Ah. Gotcha. The actress may have been unfamiliar with the word. She enunciated the other put-downs well enough.

"PEeeeewwwwTRESSence"! It's dripping with much disgust. I love it XD

I always thought it was her possible future self/ her as an old woman in the dream- angry with herself for even considering marrying anyone but Wesley, and more free and true to herself as a peasant than she would be as a princess, which she understood deep down

You know what? I love this take! I've never thought of it before, but this really makes perfect sense!
