ROUND 1B, MATCH 5 OUT OF 16!

Propaganda Under the Cut:

Cindy:

Her fairy godmother abandons her, so her mouse friend is the one who ends up casting the ballgown spell. He messes up, transforming himself into a human woman, and Cindy into a horse. They go to the ball anyways, and it turns out the Prince is a massive horse kid who ignores all the women at the party to hang out with horse!Cindy, so they end up together in the end anyways

[Click here to an propaganda ask comprised of images]

Cinderumpelstiltskin:

When she is approached by Rumpelstiltskin who offers to teach her to spin straw into gold if she guesses his name, she declines, because she needs a dress to go to the ball. Rumpelstiltskin gets pissed and begins shouting his name. When Cinderella tells this story to her step-mother, she renames her Cinderumpelstiltskin

I FORGOT ABOUT THESE BOOKS I LOVE THEM SO MUCB

Do you think The Endless Tale works as a sort of mirror image of the 1001 Nights frame story? What with the narrators gender being flipped and the strategy being to make his audience grow to hate his story instead of wanting to know what happens next?

In a way, that does make sense. Especially because the storyteller's end goal in both is to avoid being killed.

By the way, The Endless Tale still reminds me of "Jack's Story" from The Stinky Cheese Man:

[thatwritererinoriordan]

Jack has a problem. He’s successfully grown an enormous beanstalk, scaled to the top, and stolen a golden harp and gold-laying goose from the sleeping giant. However, the giant has now awoken and Jack has scurried back down the beanstalk in the hopes of chopping it down before the giant can catch him. Jack could possibly even make a clean escape if only the Little Red Hen would quit harping on and on about all the lazy animals who refuse to help her with her wheat.

As the hungry giant catches up to Jack, Jack is forced to find ways to divert the giant’s attention in order to avoid becoming an afternoon snack. When he is unable to find a suitable hiding place, Jack convinces the giant that a good story or two would be the perfect way to begin a meal.

And so it happens that Jack begins telling his own versions of some very familiar stories. With each tale the giant becomes more and more dissatisfied, and Jack becomes more and more determined to make it up to the giant by spinning a new yarn.

The giant (and the audience as well) is treated to some new treatments of some old favorites, such as a tortoise racing a hair-growing hare, Cinderumplestiltskin, Little Red Running Shorts, and a couple of princesses who kiss frogs and sleep on peas. Jack must not only tell tales as fast as he can for as long as he can to avoid being eaten, but he must also overcome the disturbances caused by that pesky, bread obsessed Red Hen and a very smelly hero made of cheese.

The Stinky Cheese Man & Other Fairly Stupid Tales, both as a book and stage play, shares with its audience the joys of making stories your own and creating new possibilities for the familiar.

No thoughts, head empty.

He looks like a cheap action figure that's been in the microwave for way too long.

He looks so triumphant here.
