Faerie Tale Theatre: The Ultimate Episode Ranking
So, weā€™ve come to the end of this years-long Faerie Tale Theatre retrospective, my friends. Itā€™s been quite a ride. Unlike most big Hollywood collaborations, Faerie Tale Theatre wasnā€™t a vanity project or a corporate mandate driven by synergistic greed, but a labor of love from start to finish. Thereā€™s been highs and lows, but Iā€™d be lying if I said there wasnā€™t 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€¦

*taps mic* This is a highly specific thing that irks me, but here we go: stop using the terms ā€œcanonā€ or ā€œoriginalā€ 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 ā€œoriginalā€ 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 ā€œcanonā€ version is incorrect, as in all likelihood the true ā€œoldestā€ version has not been and never will be discovered, and doing this is a gross misunderstanding of how cultural storytelling functionsā€”thus, mythology, folklore, and fairytales fundamentally cannot have a conclusive canon. *leaves stage*

Faerie Tale Theatre Reviews: Cinderella
ā€œSo youā€™re telling me you had a good time?ā€ ā€œAnd I owe it all to you.ā€ ā€œRubbish! You did it all yourself. The cake was already made, all I did was add the frosting.ā€ā€“ The Fairy Godmother lays down the truth about our long-lasting fascination with the original rags-to-riches story Did I say Snow White held the record for the fairytale with the most variations? Silly me, how could I forgetā€¦

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, itā€™s 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!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
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
