All of the book owners (so far) are the fictional authors of fictional fables and stories.

Mother Goose collection has Cinderella, Master cat or Puss in Boots, the sleeping beauty in the wood, little red riding hood, the fairy (all written for Louis the XIV in the 1690’s appx… the Grimm brothers are more relevant retelling sod the stories for an 1800’s Germany

Scherezade from 1001 Arabian nights started as one thousand nights and evolved to what is is now known as titular and story content wise. Having the ebony horse, the thief and the merchant, the adventures of Sinbad the sailor, and Aladdin and the lamp.

An interesting tidbit if the most famous stories from the collection (Aladdin and the Genie, Sinbad the sailor and Ali baba and the 40 thieves) they were either independent and added in later editions or added for the French publication in the 1830’s

And Aesops fables are from Ancient Greece and contain the basis for all fairy tales and fables such as the tortoise and the hare, the boy who cried wolf, the lion and the mouse, and others.

All of these story tellers also share things in common, all of them are either historically (Aesop) or designed to be (Mother Goose and Scherezade) people who are not wealthy, do not hold a position of power but wants to help the future.

Aesop was a Greek Slave who wanted to document the oral stories being told amongst the common folk and to also make commentary on the politics happening as well. With the commentary being seen as moral lessons for the children to grow and learn with.

Scherezade is the extremely learnéd daughter of the Vizier who agreed to me the next bride for the king to stop him from killing all the virgin wives he had. She constantly gets him to postpone her execution with the fables and changes his mind so he doesn’t assume all women will cheat immediately after sleeping with him. Giving the reader an idea of what knowledge can do.

Mother Goose is supposed to be a village woman who met a goose who laid golden eggs for her and eventually spun tales for the children of the village, entertaining and imparting lessons to them.

They all have some aspect of their stories that undermines their influence on change as well. For Aesop is is his state of slavery, for Scherezade it is volunteering to try and avoid death as long as humanly possible, and for Mother Goose it is the witch connotations that came about.

All of these coincidences and similarity paints a beautiful picture of humanity and imparting knowledge to the youth reading them but to have them all be relevant? WHY BRENNAN LEE MULLIGAN! WHY?!?!?!?!?!!?! WHY ARE ALL OF THESE SIMILARITIES APPARANT?!?!!? WHAT IS THE REASON?!?!!? WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE?!?!!?

(Hi I am a Double Major in Psychology and History currently on a national scholarship research program, I just did a research paper on how popular media in each time reflects the politics of the time, meaning I did a LOT of digging into 1001 Arabian nights in terms of Orientalism, Mother Goose fables for the return of theatre (because of pantomime and an evolving comedia del arte) and Aesop was recent boredom research. Please message with questions if present!)

Yura is the sun.

I know, practically everyone's figured it out by now, with a bunch of the pafl songs (mostly the ones from Sanya's pov) alluding to Yura being her "sun".

But here's what I wanted to add on: Sergei is the wind.

There's a tale in Aesop's Fables called the North Wind and the Sun, and I think it's pretty well known but let me summarize it:

The sun and the north wind had a contest one day to see who can make a passerby remove his coat. The wind blew and blew, but it just made the man wrap his coat tighter around himself because of how cold the wind's approach was. Whereas the sun shone on him, and, because it was too hot, the man took off his coat.

Sanya refers to Yura as a "relentless sun" multiple times...

(first is from 100 Epitaphs, second is from False Disposition)

and that he made her drop her barriers because of how "friendly" he was.

(also from False Disposition)

But for Sergei, she practically refuses to tell him ANYTHING; she sneaks out behind his back, steals and experiments on the Cube™ without him knowing, sneaks Yura in through her back window while trying to keep him quiet, etc.

His cold, harsh methods (the wind) makes her keep her barriers up around him, but not around Yura because she believes she can be sort of "loose" around him, like loosening a coat.

I dunno, just thought it was neat.

i’m under the assumption that books represent the character or entity as a whole rather than them from this specific story. so if we do open pib’s book imagine we get a scene not in marienne like we expected but from another one of his lives.

as tybert, prince of cats in the court of king noble, heading to reynard’s place to try and convince him to stand trial. a place where his intelligence fails him as he is tricked and reynard leaves him to die at the hands of the priest in the henhouse.

the cat in pinnochio’s story, pretending to be blind being led by his fox companion and having his paw bitten off by pinoch. maybe even having second thoughts about just leaving this kid to die but staying loyal to his trickster code and letting it happen, a testament to how much he’s changed.

the cat in aesop’s fables, a real menace, who jumped up in a tree and hid and watched the fox almost die at the hands of a human farmer and his dogs. who offers to settle a housing dispute between a rabbit and a weasel and ends up eating them both. who convinced an eagle and a sow that they were threats to each other, making them too scared to leave their homes, and then ate them when they died of hunger.

hell, maybe even the cheshire cat from alice in wonderland, incredibly unsettling but still oddly charming and whimsical. truly unattached and purely there for fun or to just see what happens.

the possibilities are endless and it would make my fairytale trickster nerd heart so happy to see

#neverafter #d20 #dimension 20 #pib #tricksters #aesops fables #i want to see the court of king noble and some reynard stuff SO BADLY. all the tricksters are #there. isengrim the wolf is there. it would be so cool
