– mysaladispeople

"Okay, here it goes. I had a ~thing~ for Jafar from ages five to eight. I imagined that he must be hurt inside and sad, so that's why he turned evil. I wanted to fix him so I wrote a letter to 'The Movie Company', asking them to make a movie called 'Jafar's Bad Day' where he was sad and then happy again. My mum actually sent it too!"
