Little Red Riding Hood is not afraid of the big bad wolf. Far from it.

[weepingfoxfury]

'Who's that I see walkin' in these woods? Why, it's little red riding hood' sings Sam the Sham and The Pharaohs ... the man on the radio talks to his Friday chef guest about lamb chop recipes ... the traffic lady tells everyone about the latest collisions and gridlock, then muses with the man on the radio that even though there's no letter 'v' in the Irish language you can use the word 'van' ... Mr Morrison will be pleased.

Two days in the shiny metropolis, two more books ... the shelves are grumbling once more. 'The Picador Book of 40 - 40 writers inspired by a number' and 'The Reader on the 6.27' by Jean-Paul Didierlaurent.

I still have my childhood books. They're spread far and wide between all the other literary delights that jostle for attention. Tales of Little Red Riding Hood and Hansel and Gretel. My mother would read such things to me before leaving me to sleep.

Not that I slept. Not straight away. Me and my imagination couldn't just leave the characters mid sentence. Couldn't just let them dangle with nothing to do. Story would merge with story, characters would join forces, the 'bad guys' would either be vanquished collectively or fight alongside the 'good guys' against a newly thought up threat. Their world opened up beneath my duvet, my cosy torch lit tent. Until ........ the fast racing fairytale train that held my thoughts would come to a resounding halt as my mother's voice would call from the doorway telling me to 'turn the torch off' and 'go to sleep!'

Even in the dark all those wonderful characters would still be calling. Echoes in the woods, witches circling, wolves helping to carry baskets. Never enough breadcrumbs, never enough time, never able to keep my eyelids from closing in the end.

The man on the radio puts on the next track ... 'Stars in your eyes, little one ... Where do you go to dream ... To a place we all know ... the land of make believe' ...

I can't seem to remember how the three component version of my causality loop was supposed to work but I do gave a basic idea of how it would work if it was two part. Perhaps the Goddess is the one who sets the loop in motion. But how do you set a causality loop in motion?

Perhaps by encouraging Connie to grab the wolf mask. That or causing Universe F to exist or become sentient.

Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?

[tangledbea]

I have seen it speculated in the fandom that Calliope was possibly neurodivergent because of her behavior in Keeper of the Spire. Do you feel that this is the case? I have an issue because I felt the writers were trying to show case that Calliope was annoying because she was being an inconsiderate "know it all" because she was overcompensating for being insecure. Being neurodivergent myself, I dislike when an "annoying" character is speculated to be neurodivergent just for being "annoying."

I agree with you. I never saw her as particularly neurodivergent (I am as well), but as a neurodivergent person with a different kind of neurodivergent sister who is also my roommate, I'm well aware that nerodivergent people can be obnoxious (both I and my sister are self aware enough to clock when we're getting too annoying). I can't fault nerotypical people for seeing someone being annoying and supposing they might be neurodivergent, simply because that means they don't understand neurodivergence, and you can't know what you don't know. (It's another thing entirely if they don't understand and don't want to learn.)

In other news, I adore Calliope for being exactly who she is.

But when it comes to neurodivergence and Tangled the Series, I always felt that "Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad Wolf" was an ND and/or mental illness allegory. The moral there is that there can be something about you that other people find off-putting or even dangerous, but its on your loved ones to respect you and help you through it and, moreover, listen to you and your choices. That episode promotes bodily autonomy like no other. They way that they all accept that Catalina wants to keep the wolf, the way that they stop calling her Red after that. The way that Eugene sits her down and blatantly tells her that if she feels herself getting too angry again to let them now so they can help her... It spoke to me, man. That episode is overlooked.

Sorry for the tangent.

see one half of the conversation is the gender issues but the other half is me being annoyed that people don’t know anything about animals. you can also get your shit rocked by a deer or a turkey btw in case you think i don’t have a healthy level of caution towards wild animals. it’s deer > turkey > fox > bear > wolf > strange man > moose > mountain lion for me. obviously this is very northeastern US centric. i did run into a lone coyote once when i was in california and it spooked me a little but it left me alone

why is nobody talking about how "who's afraid of little old me?" might strongly be a reference to "who's afraid of virginia woolf?" by edward albee? a play about a couple in trouble? she's giving us poetry with TTPD, she's going deep with human existance and relationships. i firmly believe she's reinventing her lyric self this time.
