u know it's kind of funny how ppl talk abt how dark the original (grimm) versions of well known fairytales are and like. people thought that in the 1800s too LMAO like the grimm brothers republished their first volume 😭😭 we read a compilation of some of the grimm fairytales when we were younger and 'the robber bridegroom' has always stood out to us. I mean it's arguably one of the most disturbing stories in the collection. and we read it when we were ten. but idk we actually really like it

#weve been on a fairytale kick lately #also interesting to note that in the republished version the brothers grimm changed a lot of #“mother” characters to be “stepmothers”#namely the villains that were mother figures #but thats like. a whole nother post. an essay #anyways recommend reading the robber bridegroom honestly it feels more like a. horror short story to us than an oral tale #probably bc of how the grimm brothers wrote everything though LMAO #confluence.txt
