Faerie Tale Theatre: The Ultimate Episode Ranking
So, weāve come to the end of this years-long Faerie Tale Theatre retrospective, my friends. Itās been quite a ride. Unlike most big Hollywood collaborations, Faerie Tale Theatre wasnāt a vanity project or a corporate mandate driven by synergistic greed, but a labor of love from start to finish. Thereās been highs and lows, but Iād be lying if I said there wasnāt any passion put into every minuteā¦

Fox Spirits In Medieval Narratives: Gender Bias
The domestic worship of the fox described by Zhang Zhuo informs us that the fox spirit occupied an ambivalent position in family lives. That foxes were enshrined in private quarters and offered food consumed by humans suggests that they participated in the family as insiders. However, their supernatural power and animal nature inspired both reverence and fear, and preserved their identities asā¦

afotaro is the elephant's foot of toxic old man yaoi but that's not gonna stop me from memeing on it, y'know, as a coping mechanism.
#my hero academia#mha spoilers#afotaro#all for one#dank mha meems#tw: child abuse#what do you mean afo manipulated kotaro into fucking his wife. hori???? ššš#give nao to me you utter loser i wouldn't need some ancient eldritch comic book shill to convince me to make love to my beautiful wife--#more seriously tho#I've said it before that AFO and Tenko's dynamic is meant to be viewed as a story of abuse told through a lens of fantasy#and these chapters cemented that impression in the best (worst?) possible way bc so many abusers get close to the parents--#--so they can have unrestricted access to their children + be trusted to be left alone with their children#Hori has really hit the nail on the head so it's disappointing that so many people still downplay Tenko's victimhood#and view this chapter as him ''falling off as a villain'' (wtf)#also the idea of AFO appearing to the Shimura fam wearing different faces/fulfilling different ''roles'' is so fairy tale coded I love it

*taps mic* This is a highly specific thing that irks me, but here we go: stop using the terms ācanonā or āoriginalā to refer to mythology, folklore, and fairytales. Canonicity is a modern concept (as in, the past several hundred years) that only applies to modern novels, films, and other such works. Stories like mythology, folklore, and fairytales that belong to large people groups, while different tellings may share certain fundamental details, by their nature will vary in their details great and small simply due their being told over and over again by different people over great swaths of time, and looking for the āoriginalā is most often pointless, as these stories are usually so old that their first telling is lost to time, and calling the oldest source we have the ācanonā version is incorrect, as in all likelihood the true āoldestā version has not been and never will be discovered, and doing this is a gross misunderstanding of how cultural storytelling functionsāthus, mythology, folklore, and fairytales fundamentally cannot have a conclusive canon. *leaves stage*
#people more knowledgeable on the subject feel free to chime in#it cracks me up that even the Greeks in antiquity were having debates about canonādid you know that ancient Greeks used to debate about#whether or not Helen was taken willingly or not in their rhetoric classes?#mythology#fairy tales#folklore

Fox Worship In Rural China: From Village Patrons To Fox Kings
Foxes are ambivalent.) Late folklore depicts them as a kind of horny evil spirits. However, itās a simplistic interpretation. Once upon a time, foxes were revered as patrons, had the status of local and family deities. The relatively low prevalence of foxes in northern China did not prevent the emergence of their sophisticated, semi-official cult. Before foxes acquired their own shrines, theyā¦

I know from experience that things can seem pretty bleak when it comes to an anime's future and I know a lot of fans, including myself have been worried for Sugar Apple Fairy Tale's anime since it ended last month with no word on renewing it for more seasons... but I still have hope it'll be back someday to finish it's story.
The secret behind my hope is this year itself, considering how so many other anime series have returned to continue telling their stories.
Plus other animes have already confirmed their return for next year in 2024!
They are proof that any anime can return! For some they've only been on a break for a year, while for others it's been much, Much, MUCH longer! Anyway as always my message for SAFT fans is Have Faith and Keep Hope Alive!
Honestly I'm not the kind of person who would dwell on an anime's future (anymore at least), but Sugar Apple Fairy Tale is the one and ONLY exception to that rule.

My three Fates :)
I used the latin names of the Fates from the mythology because I though the greek names (Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos) were super ugly
Decuma is smaller because the "present" is a shorter period than past and futur. Morta is taller because the "futur" is infinite

Killing Koschei the Deathless always involves an egg. You have to break an egg & the means of killing him is hidden inside. I will never be over the imagery of the seed of death being found within the seed of life. Mortality wrapped up in rebirth.

Finally, I found the reason, why is Sea Fairy is got cursed.
This curse of the eclipse.
Currently, she's free, don't worry!
[Sherbet's Story]
She was an unfrozen on this scene and she's talked to Sherbet himself.
So that's means, the story with Sorbet and Peppermint is happening, after "A Mermaid's Tale" story, but also before the time, where is Sherbet visit Cotton (current days).
But.. how is Eclipse is cursed her?
The powers of Mermaids is actually connected to Almighty Sea herself. So that's mean, Sea Fairy on time of Eclipse become weaker..
But Eclipse is somehow cursed her and turned her into frozen statue.
I need to more watch about Tower of Frozen Waves story
#sea fairy cookie#sherbet cookie#sorbet shark cookie#peppermint cookie#cookie run#cookie run kingdom#crk#a mermaid's tale#tower of frozen waves#cookie run lore and his chronology is hard..#especially lore of Ancients and Legendaries#i want to discuss about this more.. because Ancient Cookies lore is hard but harder can be only dragons lore from Ovenbreak
