people will see gross ships where the woman fixes the bad abusive boy or w/e and say “oh just like Beauty and the Beast” but y’all fail to realize Belle didn’t fix Beast. She’s not sitting there screaming about how “I know there’s good in you!!!!!!!” after he does something horrible. She’s not making it her goal to change him. Beast changes because he actively wants to become a better man. Belle is just existing around him and he’s like “hmm I wanna do something nice for her. I wanna learn how to read, and relearn how to eat properly so I don’t gross her out, and wear clothes properly instead of just ripped capes,” like he’s actually trying to be better, which is why the story works. Kyle Ron is not that. Edwin Cullen is not that. They’ll never have what The Prince has babes I’m sorry.
Also, Belle canonically just did NOT put up with his “GRRR i’m mean” bullshit for one minute, and refused to until he cleaned up his act
