Everyone’s going on about having a ‘traditional, old-fashioned Christmas’, but when I burst into the house covered in green paint and demand a champion strike my head from my shoulders with my own axe so that I may return the blow next year, I’m ‘scaring Grandma’.

the fact that tangled has a perfect set-up for major miscommunication between rapunzel and eugene to be the final emotional climax of the movie (“why’d you leave me”) but instead sidesteps that in favor of a beautiful battle between the two of them in which they try to out-sacrifice each other because they love and understand each other that much. the fact that they each try to save the other using the best means they’ve got at their disposal, the ones they’ve used their whole lives: rapunzel bargaining with mother gothel and promising away pieces of herself- this time all of herself- in exchange for his safety, Eugene pulling one final scam and trick when he feigns tenderly touching her face so he can actually cut off all her hair and set her free. the fact that Eugene’s plan works but as a result he dies, Flynn dies. (he told us this at the beginning, “this is the story of how I died” but remember- it’s a fun story.) The fact that the swashbuckling rogue and trickster and thief Flynn DIES so that rapunzel, the girl who never got to have a life, can LIVE. The fact that after one final successful trick Flynn dies so Eugene, little lost orphan boy, can rise again in his final and only role as a good man and as rapunzel’s husband- all of these make tangled the masterpiece it is. in this essay I will

Adaptations of Arthurian Legend are so funny because you can always see which of the knights the author had a personal beef with and which of them they thought deserved better.

A Secular Christmas Carol

How we love the Christmas season With its quaint old-fashioned ways Though religion is outdated We will keep the holy days Who could care for stale theology With all these gifts and toys? You can keep the Christian duty We'll just take the Christian joys

How we love the Christmas carols With their angels, snow and bells Why, it doesn't even matter That we doubt the tale they tell There's no need to make suggestions That our worldview might be wrong We don't like the Christian message But we'll take the Christian songs

How we love the Christmas dinner With its turkey, ham and pies We will gladly stuff our faces With the food and drinks we prize We'll ignore the rules and rituals Avoid the prayers and priests We've no time for Christian fasting But we'll join the Christian feast

How we love the Christmas trimmings All the tinsel, trees and lights Countless costly decorations That adorn the winter nights Don't destroy this time of beauty With the word of God who came We'll take all the Christian comfort And deny the Christian name

Do you dare find this offensive? Why it almost sounds like greed To keep all these Christian customs For those of the Christian creed We don't ask for controversy There's no reason to get riled We enjoy the Christmas season! Just leave out the Christmas child

Sir Kay gets the short straw so badly, imagine you were winning multiple events in the Olympics and earning great honor for your country and then they interrupt the medal ceremony to crown your scrawny little brother the new king

Squire's Tales AU where instead of being escorted to the Other World after dying at Camlann, Gawain and Terence wake up in the past. Specifically, during the seven years they spent lost on the quest for the green knight.

Once they figure this out, their goal seems easy to figure out if difficult to accomplish: obviously, they need to hunt down Morgause and try to kill her before she can topple Camelot.

This is slightly hindered by them coming across Lancelot fighting himself.

Lancelot had also woken up in the past and had much the same idea as Gawain and Terence: go fight the person responsible for the mess that had gotten them all killed.

He just had different ideas who that was.

So now Gawain has to go fight Lancelot again, which is vastly complicated by the fact that, once again, neither of them really wants to hurt the other, only this time, it's not just a one on one duel, there's also an injured past!Lancelot trying to contribute to the fight but actually only getting in the way because future!Lancelot is quite sincerely trying to kill him, and Gawain keeps having to throw himself in between them.

I think what could really crown this scenario is if Arthur shows up, disguised style like he kept doing during that period, and is delighted because his nephew is alive after all! And then promptly confused out of his mind because that looks very much like two Lancelots, and while he secretly might not mind seeing Lancelot get beaten up a little bit, this does look like a concerning situation, he should probably intervene -

And poor Terence, on the sidelines, has to decide how in the world to explain this.

I relate to Howl because I too make clever references even when I know that no one present will understand them.
