togas actually make me so mad because greece has SUCH cooler traditional dress now. like they are serving on ALL FRONTS on EVERY ISLAND it’s ridiculous
I love folklore so much because depending on the location and era it comes from it’s either the most terrifying concept or the dumbest thing you’ve ever heard
Mexican Folklore: You think this place is a Normal Location? Tch. You fool. Everyone knows this place is the SCARY Location.
British Folklore: There’s a little Beast in your house… make sure you give it the necessary porridge……. otherwise it might turn to mischief…….
German Folklore: For the love of God, do NOT trust hot people and do NOT trust babies and do NOT trust short men and do NOT trust Christmas and do NOT trust sausage and do NOT trust the elderly and
US Folklore: This Giant Boy From Texas Is God’s Favorite
French folklore: If you don’t get tricked by a talking fox so iconic the French word for fox became the animal’s actual name, you’ll get taken away by the Wild Hunt. Unless your godmother is a fairy, except our fairies aren’t tricksters who can’t lie, they are 17th century intellectual noblewomen
French Canadian folklore: Nah seriously don’t make deals with the black horse with red eyes that’s obviously the devil, YOU DUMBASS
Breton folklore: King Arthur on crack. Also, DO NOT TRUST GOBLINS OR WEIRD LADIES IN WHITE
Southern France folklore: I would die for love and sing about it while I’m at it
what’s the first “cinematic equivalent to taking a roundhouse kick directly to the sternum” childhood movie experience you remember having? (If you reblog tell me the year you were born in the tags!!)
hopping on here to say that the number of people tagging things “why is [x movie] even FOR kids?????” thoroughly depresses me and I ask you to remember that children’s media is for ALL children, including those who have experienced trauma, because they deserve to feel seen and validated by movies and books that depict similar experiences!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All right, do you want me to take one for the team and watch the Phantom of the Opera musical with Deborah Sasson and Uwe Kroger? And provide live updates?
Please interact if you’re interested because I won’t have the courage to finish otherwise
I’m so sick of Aragorn-type long-lost heirs to the throne…does Aragorn even understand taxes? Does he even know taxes exist? Give me a long-lost king who was raised to be a diplomat before a warrior…who actually spent time working in the government of his country-to-be before he stepped up and announced himself - and maybe in a neighboring government too, to get different perspectives on leadership, and personal experience with allies! Give me a long-lost king who would spend a lifetime protecting the innocent without even the reward of recognition, much less of a crown. Give me a long-lost king whose proof of kingship isn’t a birthmark or magic sword but rather the knowledge of ancient customs and alliances, the ability to rouse loyal fiefs, the balls to just fucking stare down the Dark Lord or whatever… And if a lost heir has any identifying magic powers, it should be the ability to heal. Kingship defined by healing to start a new age in a tired and war-torn land would fuck so hard.
