#rules for the woods

Rules for the woods:

Always carry a key in the woods, you never know what doors need unlocking or in other cases what doors need locked.

They're also a symbol of protection

it’s very easy to tell the good satires and pastiches from the bad ones because the bad ones are too afraid to live within the form. like if you are doing work with fairy tales and you are refusing to look closer at the underlying logic and unspoken rules of what can seem at first to be a senseless form, you are not going to create meaningful work. to borrow a turn of phrase originally used by maria tatar, if you refuse to enter “the house of fairy tale” as anything more than a gawking tourist, you will miss the particular order to the way the table is set, the rooms that are locked vs the rooms that are simply difficult to enter, the set of the floorboards and the position of the furniture. whatever you build will then be a gilded imitation of how you believe the house of fairy tale ought to look, the table set according to your educated specifications and every door open. there can be no interrogation of themes from a writer who views the form as beneath them!

#it speaks! #sondheim understood this with into the woods; the deconstruction of narrative itself is able to happen because we are able to believe in -> #<- the fairy tale logic he employs prior to this. #its a kids book but adam gidwitz understood this with a tale dark and grimm!! #cant speak for the rest of the series but that first book uses the absurdity of fairy tale logic to speak about the absurdity of -> #<- adulthood and the pedagogy present in many fairy tales to discuss the ways parents hurt their children. #rule of threes is important but theres so much on my list ive yet to read; always welcome recommendations. #fairy tales #into the woods #<- this comes from musings on how successfully i feel that musical functions so it gets the tag

THE SHERIFF AND GUY OF GISBORNE

uh. try to stay with me for a second. so incest motifs are a huge part of medieval lit. you see it in arthuriana cycles, you see it in romances, it's a whole thing.

Incest and the Medieval Imagination, Elizabeth Archibald

so robin hood. both adaptions and the text itself, tend to get interesting with guy of gisborne. and I will say that while I found the media being discussed in this text absolutely fucking insufferable to watch, the discussion on it was delicious, impeccable, show stopping

Mouvance, Greenwood, and Gender in The Adventures of Robin Hood and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Brian J Levy and Lesley Coote

and with regards to discussions on the origin text (which I love and adore forever)

Horseplay: Robin Hood, Guy of Gisborne, and the Neg(oti)ation of the Bestial, Stuart Kane

we're. getting to the point, I promise. guy of gisborne and the sheriff in my own "adaption" are not cousins, but brothers in law (fucked up brothers in law are my thing over on my other blog. brutus and cassius? I'm there. caligula and lepidus? all over that, baby!) because I'm aiming for an adjacent transgression.

on the topic of adjacent transgressions and guy's comment in this comic about cannibalism: there's an overlap in various genres of literature, predominantly in branches of horror and tragedy: between cannibalism and incest. (additionally! a lot of texts will take on christian subtexts and allusions, so there's a bonus homoerotic cannibalism discussion happening wrt communion that I'll get into in the future) it's about. chomping. the teeth, you know.

Managing Monsters, Marina Warner

Statius and Virgil: The Thebaid and the Reinterpretation of the Aeneid, Randall T. Ganiban

there's a 100% chance I will revise the sheriff's design at some point, but I wanted to draw the flowers exploding out of the spine so bad

AND FINALLY, the neck focus on guy is half due to his fate in his origin tale (beheaded) and half my own invention: I girl-with-a-green-ribboned him. a little narrative necromancy, if you will.

#long post #outlaws in the woods tag #im sorry for how long this is and also bc its 2am but also i am not sorry. i love medieval literature and horror #the sheriff wants to crawl inside guy's ribcage and eat his lungs #he is. interestingly enough. horrified at what everyone else does to guy's body #its about possession. obsession. who else has the right to eat you etc #im going to go folk catholicism forced sainthood on guy and every second of it is going to be awful for him #i will do narrative necromancy but i will adhere to the rules of the setting and the setting is TERRIBLE #i love it! sorry guy of gisborne. #anyway you guys ever watch showtime's borgias. favorite show. so. so uh. you know that one scene. the---

I have been going over the seasons looking for all the evidence of the whole epic primary color theory connected to El, Mike and Will. And ngl this moment right here had me spiralling.

THE SAD PAUSE UPON THE REALIZATION WILL IS STILL MISSING AND THAT EVEN THOUGH HE HELPED THIS GIRL WHO WAS LOST IN THE WOODS AND HOPED IT WAS A SIGN, IT PROBABLY DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING. WHICH MEANS HE'S STILL FOCUSED ON FINDING WILL. LIKE WHY DID HE NEED TO TAKE THAT YELLOW CLIP WITH HIM UPSTAIRS?!?!? WHAT WAS THE REASON? WHY IS THE MF RAINBOW IN FRAME?!?! SOMETHING SOMETHING TOO MUCH YELLOW

#byler #st primary color theory #this is not your standard color theory #this is not color theory #st color theory #we make our own rules over here #el = red #will = yellow #mike = blue #willel = orange #byler = green #but seriously going back to the very first episode #the evidence is quite astonishing #the moment we see will he's in a dark blue plaid with red yellow and white lines #then he puts on his partially yellow but mostly orange vest #then el gets help from benny and he gives her something else to wear besides that disgusting hospital gown #and it happens to be this huge yellow shirt #and so they're sitting at bennys and we get this big yellow shirt juxtaposed with yellow and red all over bc of the ketchup and mustard #then mike finds her in the woods the exact same place will went missing... #'Mike: do you really think it's a coincidence--?' #I could go on for ten years.... #st color theory crash course

get ready mera tomorrow is the day you will expect me camping in ur inboxes bcs the horny demons WILL have me by the neck

being made into a marionette/puppet/doll by the fellow guy and having all emotion draining in poor reader’s eyes!! they’ll be so pretty!! the “princess of the circus” !! an eye candy for the audience (and the boys especially) and at the end of the show, you will be giving them “special services” fellow being paid to have you give all the boys head!! heck have your holes stuffed to the brim by ALL of them at once!! and maybe behind the scenes, fellow will have a taste himself 🤭

HAVE A GREAT DAY MERA AAAA WILL COME BACK TO SCREAM SOME MORE!! 😫🫶🏻💕💕❤️❤️❤️

HI HI, LOVELY ANON!!!! 💖💖 omg,,, your thoughts are so good. I am ready for you to camp in my inbox. I will set up the tent for you and include many luxuries so the camping experience will be enjoyable!!!!

But omg the thought of being turned into a mindless sex doll for the boys and you can't complain or fight back. You're so pliable and obedient; it's in your nature to serve them and be fucked by them. <3 since Playful Land is a place in which you can indulge in fun day after day, why would any of the guys ever want to leave? Some of them (Trey, Leona, Cater, Jack, etc) are hesitant. Of course they want to use you, fuck you, kiss you, stuff you full, and do so many things they may not be able to do at school, but part of them knows this isn't the real you and you're just being controlled by Fellow. But time passes in Playful Land and eventually, whether they wanted to resist or not, they'll fall into Fellow's palm and indulge in you and your body. :) it's only a matter of time before the obsession wins out over restraint.

I think Fellow likely fucks you way before the rest get their chances. >:D he wants to have his fun first. Omg just imagine how many possibilities that opens up for Leona and Fellow rivalry. Two beastmen, one of them a sly fox and the other a protective lion, and they both want you. 😵‍💫 Leona respects you, of course, but he has to stake his claim to ensure that Fellow guy won't take what rightfully belongs to the king. >:(

#twisted chit chat #n/sfw #twst always knows how to cook yummy events orz #this event has me playing 'dark wood circus' on repeat for extra spooky vibes #OOOOO speaking of vocaloid horror songs i should assign each one to the twst guys... #jade gets 'candy addict full course' i do not make the rules <3 #'my tongue crawls across your candy skin' and 'my love comes with knife and fork' are such raw lines orz it's so (sk) jade #rollo gets 'fear garden' #riddle gets 'okaasan' #AAAAAAAA MANY THOUGHTS #omg but then the twins in 'trick and treat' luring you into the mansion in the woods.......... #azul gets 'unrequited love and he who sleeps beneath' >:) #maybe i should actually make the list ;;;;;

Something I haven’t seen anyone bring up before from Link’s hunger strike teen fact is — even though it was kind of an off handed joke from Freddie — Link and Taylor probably live super close to each other. Like possibly neighbors close.

#dndads #dungeons and daddies #dndads s2 #dndads season 2 #lincoln li wilson #taylor swift dndads #which also makes things a little sad because I imagine these two were in their backyards a lot #Link with soccer and Taylor doing survivalist shit in the woods #he’s definitely not allowed to swing his sword inside I imagine Cassandra would at least enforce that as a rule #anyways imagine growing up with two best friends your whole life and then one day your dad says you can’t hang out with them anymore becaus #they’re dangerous. but one of them literally lives next door

A lineup of all the "The Fillyjonk"s throughout the books (plus Mrs. Fillyjonk herself from the comics)

For the love of Booble stop mixing them up and thinking they're the same character it drives me insane.

#moomins #moominvalley #art #fillyjonk #mrs fillyjonk #the fillyjonk #the fillyjonk who believed in disasters #november fillyjonk #emma's niece #moomin books #moomin comics #character ref sheet #I'm honestly very proud of how I managed to make a generally very homogeneous looking species unique from one another #the general rule of thumb I found when coloring is that Fillyjonk fur is colored like wood while the hair ranged red-orange-blonde #like sticks set on fire (which is a metaphor I will absolutely use alot) #we don't get alotta male fillyjonks esp in the book but I think they tend to be shorter with more prominent whiskers #and I hc that their hair ranges from black-brown-grey #so Fillyjonks are actually one of the more dimorphic species in Moominland which plays into their whole gender role thing #and I WILL be playing around with that hopefully soon

The part about getting really into woodworking that nobody tells you about is that you might eventually need to find a black market dealer because certain species are illegal in the US

The fact that Symmetra’s seemingly only childhood friend was a boy she fundamentally disagreed with everything about and disliked pretty much everything that he stood for - and that it was exactly the same for him - is so so so funny to me. Unlikeable neurodivergent bitches gotta stick together

#overwatch #lifeweaver #Symmetra #Niran with his undiagnosed ADHD: there is NOTHING I hate more than rigid structure and order and rules #kid ​Symmetra: ohhh I can’t not befriend him #and in reverse ofc Satya like i wish I could live in a beautiful dream world where everything is made from- #-​the same generic futuristic architecture and that one corporation owned it all 🙏 #and Niran who’s still treating the poison ivy in his nethers bc he slept in the woods again is like omg .. did we just become besties #I’m serious when I say this this is the best lore related thing Overwatch has done in years. maybe ever #I just love that they gave Sym a friend like LW. absolute MESS of a man who absolutely adores her #this was supposed to go on my side blog but I drafted it to main by accident and I’m not rewriting all these tags #so Overwatch text post be upon ye
