stupid headcanon: some timelines sans wears slippers, some timelines sans wears sneakers
LOL
EVEN BETTER HEADCANON:
Whether or not Sans is wearing slippers or sneakers is an indicator of which timeline he’s in.
If he’s wearing slippers, it’s the Pacifist route because he’s relaxed knowing that you’re not going to hurt anybody. But if it’s Genocide, watch out! ‘Cuz Sans is lacin’ up his sneaks so he can stay in a relatively active mood and do everything he can to stop you.
Oh good, I get to debunk fairy tale ridiculousness again. It’s been awhile since I’ve been able to use my fairy tale knowledge on here.
Okay, first of all, there is no such thing as an “original” version of a fairy tale; there are only “popular” or “accepted” versions. All versions of fairy tales are as valid as any other version given their history as oral tales; each tale twists and changes as it spreads to other cultures, and several tale types have similar tales that formed independently of each other in various places around the world (Cinderella is the most famous example, with over 1,000 recorded variations and some of the oldest versions being found in Greece, China, and Egypt).
Second of all, several of these are patently false. I’ll just go down the list.
Snow White and Hunchback are the two that are actually true. In the Grimms version of Snow White (”Little Snow White”), the Queen does ask for her liver and lungs (though this was later revised to the Queen asking for her heart) and she is forced to dance in red hot shoes until she dies. This is the norm for Snow White tales, though the specifics vary quite a lot. Hunchback is similarly grim, which makes since given that it’s based on a book by Victor Hugo (like, come on. This is the same guy that wrote Les Mis. You expected something different?). The Rapunzel one is also more or less true, as is the Hercules one.
Clarification on the Little Mermaid one: she doesn’t actually wind up in purgatory. Since she was a mermaid and not a human, she didn’t have a soul and so when she killed herself, became a “daughter of the air” and can earn a soul (and thus proceed up to heaven) if she does good deeds for mankind for 300 years. Purgatory is a Catholic construction, and the probability that Hans Christian Andersen was Catholic is very very small considering that Roman Catholicism remained illegal in Denmark for nearly three centuries after the Lutheran Reformation in the mid 1500s.
Cinderella: This is only true in the Grimms/German version. I’ve actually written a paper on revenge and retribution in Cinderella tales across the world, so I can tell you with a great deal amount of certainty that it greatly depends on which Cinderella tale you’re looking at for the fate of the stepmother/stepsisters. Perrault’s Cinderella/the French version, on which the Disney movie was based, ended with Cinderella forgiving her stepsisters and inviting them to live with her in the palace. The only thing they are denied is the ability to marry the prince.
Pocahontas: this one is pretty half-and-half; there is absolutely no evidence that John Smith raped and impregnated Pocahontas before, during, or after his time in Jamestown. Historical accounts maintain that Pocahontas was friends with John Smith and often visited Jamestown during the years he was there. When the English reported that Smith had died after being sent back to England to treat him for injuries from a gunpowder incident, she stopped visiting the settlement for a couple of years. It’s also maintained in the historical accounts that when she visited, she often brought food and kept several of the settlers from starving. Historical accounts do not maintain that they were lovers, that she was of suitable age for a relationship (period), or that there were any sexual implications to their relationship. It is only in fictional accounts of their relationship (particularly in the Disney version, where she was significantly aged up) that that relationship is portrayed as romantic.
(cont) There are a couple of scholars that maintain she was raped during her captivity by the English (which happened long after Smith left for England), but the majority of the scholarship agrees that she was not raped.
Her only child is by John Rolfe and he was conceived after they were married, so the ‘raped and impregnated’ claim is wrong as well.
She was also not kidnapped and taken to England. She and John Rolfe were married before they left for England…for a good two years, in fact. She and Rolfe traveled to England, stayed for a year and a half, and then boarded a ship to return to Virginia, where Pocahontas died of an unknown disease along the way.
Mulan: false. I’ll let this post do the explaining for me, because it explains it better than I ever could. The actual ballad of Hua Mulan says no such thing; the ending this post describes is from a book called the “Sui Tang Romance” and is basically fanfiction of the actual Hua Mulan legend. The tragic end is “a detail that cannot be found in any previous legends or stories associated Hua Mulan.”
Beauty and the Beast: patently and blatantly false. I have never been so insulted by a statement about a fairy tale in my life, and I argue about Cinderella on a regular basis. There is no BATB variant tale where the Beast ends up eating the girl after the wedding. The Beaumont/French tale (again, the version on which the Disney version was based), has the Beast dying of heartbreak because Beauty was late returning to the castle, but ends with the Beast and Beauty happily married after she proclaimed her love for him. Here are links to BATB tales around the world, just because I want to correct the awful monstrosity that was “the Beast ends up eating Belle after the wedding.” Also, here’s a link to my favorite BATB variant, the Norwegian “East of the Sun and West of the Moon,” and a link to “Cupid and Psyche,” the tale on which many BATB tales are based. The Aarne-Thompson tale type for Beauty and the Beast is 425 for anyone interested (425A tales are Cupid and Psyche tales and 425C tales are BATB tales).
Basically, this post is a hodge-podge of mostly true to embarrassingly and infuriatingly false information. Do your own research, and don’t believe everything the internet tries to tell you about fairy tales.
I love you
Fairy tale debunkers are my heroes
Bless this
Herculese doesn’t stop at teh death of his wife and kids. He also killed a centaur with hydra venom and sealed the poisoned blood in a jar. When hiss second wife thought he was cheating on her, the gods told her to smear the blood on his tunic (she didn’t know it was poison) and hercules ended up dying slowly and painfully because of the poison so he lit himself on fire because it was more bearable.
like even if you make fun of more experienced artists. like ur still bein an ass but at least ur less likely to literally fuck someone up enough t get the mto stop drawing lol
that isnt to say, only make fun of popular/good artists. bc that can still b fucked up :^)
but experienced artists are more likely to look at how far theyve come and not want to give it all up after one or two insults
inexperienced artists are more vulnerable bc theyre literally just getting in tothe game and trying to figure it out and it makes it so much easier for them to give up
you dont have to pretend to like it but seriously dont go out of your way to make fun of them like. seriously..
okay you’re all aware of yellow pearl, the shitlord1950s secretary
“that’s no excuse”
she has a smugness about her that seems funny compared to a) what we know about pearls and b) the stoic sad blue pearl everyone is fawning over. and its true that yellow pearl seems exactly like that kid in elementary school that would tattle on you in a second to get a pat on the head from the teacher–but y’all are forgetting something.
the moment yellow diamond speaks, saying pearl’s name
she flinches. immedietely. unthinkingly. yellow diamond doesn’t even sound that angry, just vaguely annoyed, and yellow pearl’s automatic response is to shrink
when yellow diamond asks her why someone is calling on the diamond line, she rushes to answer, doing her best to avoid being blamed for what’s happening. when she says “i don’t know” she sounds almost panicked, and she quickly tries to shift blame to peridot
and when yellow diamond reaches her hand down, yellow pearl backs the hell up
like yellow diamond hasn’t even moved the camera at that point the only thing that moved is pearl, she moved the fuck back the second yellow diamond reached her hand down. and fuck i would too if the hand was bigger than my fucking body
in conclusion, blue pearl isn’t the only pearl that needs protection
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
