TALES TOO TALL RULES, TWs, AND OTHER NOTES
Please press/click the read more to read the rules of this askblog! This is highly recommended before fully interacting (Especially because the trigger warnings are at the end)!
Heads up:
This is my first time running an askblog, so I apologize for any mistakes or other issues that might happen!
If you wanna look at my actual blog, where I reblog things or post art of MatB and other things, it is @beepsparks .
There is a sideblog for this askblog specifically for noncanon asks and interactions! It will usually use text if its character specific, but in other cases it might use artwork! The blog is @myths-too-tall , feel free to use it for silly interactions, or roleplay with the characters!
I can be very busy at times due to school or outside events, so please be patient if it takes awhile for answered asks, updates etc. sometimes I won’t even be able to give warnings before sudden hiatuses due to outside events (ex: being grounded lol)
This askblog is VERY VERY story based, so please don’t get upset if an ask of yours gets ignored because I want to move on with the story! Apologies if such happens!
Sometimes the media used to answer asks will randomly change, as maybe one day I might not want to answer asks in full color digital art! Examples of styles that could be used are: Sketches on paper, line art, character expression icons with text, or just text.
Some of you are aware what the internet has done to giants (which is exactly why I usually don’t mention my interest, also I envy you if you DONT know). I’m here to say this au and blog does NOT involve any of that stuff! I simply have a hyperfixation on giants in fantasy and I want everyone to know that this au and blog isn’t here for inappropriate reasons.
Yes, this au exists because one day I thought it’d be interesting to mix my favorite fairytale with my special interest! Since my special interest is Padlock, apologies if it takes awhile to get to characters beyond episode two of dhmis! As many more recent characters have their moments after the main story. But, if you want to know who is CURRENTLY in this au who will appear at some point (that isn’t the trio or Paige and Tony); Shrignold, Colin, Briefcase, Roy, and a secret character that will make a surprise appearance if mentioned! (Asks that are wrong guesses on who this is will be ignored, as not to overflow the askbox)
Arcs WILL happen in this askblog after the main story, most of them are planned already!
The fic of the main story of this au is out! Which you can read here, but if you don’t want spoilers and want to see how the main story plays out in the blog, you don’t have to read it! (Notably as well, there will be small differences between this askblog and the actual fic!)
You can ask questions about the blog, au, etc. (Just anything not asking the characters) by typing an ask with “( )”, “[ ]” or “[[ ]]”! (Example: “[[Does this au ship Fluffybird?]]” (the answer to that is yes btw)) You are also allowed to ask questions through DMs, if you are uncomfortable with your question being public!
Rules:
Tumblr itself already has this rule, and so does this askblog! You must be 13+ to interact with this blog due to how gory and dark it can get.
Magic anons are currently NOT allowed until I feel the story is complete at the moment or on very rare occasion! Magic anons could mess with the story, which is very unwanted!
Same goes for any asks in general that could dramatically affect the story (such as giving the trio any amount of money beyond like, 5 gold coins.)
Absolutely NO 18+ asks! If you’re going to have… interesting thoughts about any characters in this au, please do it somewhere else! There are plenty of minors in this fandom, please do not make things inappropriate.
Trigger Warnings (Without actually spoiling anything):
Implied death of a cow (not shown)
Themes of cannibalism at a point
A LOT of blood and gore at times (although I will try to tone it down in art, I will also have a read more if a particular scene drawn is considered too frightening or bloody, as I don’t want to accidentally subject anyone to those scenes if they’re simply scrolling the dhmis tag or something)
Overall stuff you’d see in an au based off of ICE HELL
Not exactly a trigger warning but Paige and Tony do NOT go easy on the trio (nor anyone else), so if you’re easily frightened by giants I don’t really recommend interacting with this blog, I don’t wanna accidentally frighten anyone!
Connected to the last warning, you probably aren’t gonna like this au if you have megalophobia, considering its based of Jack and the Beanstalk
Strangulation
Threats, plenty of threats
Swearing lol
A child dying

Ghost Fools
(aka, emmet bites the dust) read it on ao3! if you like this fic, please reblog it!
When Emmet opens his eyes, he almost forgets what happened. He’s back in his too-empty apartment, blinking at the sudden brightness of daylight. Have his eyes been closed for a while or something? And why is he in the living room, wasn’t he in the kitchen?
And then he hears the shouting.
“The nine button, Chandelure! THE NINE! IT’S RIGHT THERE!”
It’s a voice that Emmet hasn’t heard in a very long time.
His legs move on their own accord, not that he’s particularly against the location. It can’t be, it couldn’t be...
There, in the kitchen, is Ingo. Which would totally be a normal thing, if not for the fact that he went missing six years ago and has been dead for a lot longer than that. He’s clearly frantic, gripping onto his tattered hat in a panic as he points to the phone in Chandelure’s spindly arms.
“THERE IS NO WAY YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN OPERATE THE PHONE!” Ingo suddenly yanks his hat off, pulling anxiously at his own hair. “GO GET HAXORUS! OR SOMETHING!”
What’s even more shocking, surprisingly enough, is that the two of them are standing over Emmet’s body, face down on the kitchen floor.
Oh. Right. That happened.
“Ingo?”
“Not now, Emmet,” Ingo spares him a glance, but he does a double-take when the brunt of the situation finally hits him. “Wait. Emmet?!”
The most awkward of silences follows. The twins stare at each other, not quite believing what they’re seeing. Chandelure, clearly uncomfortable with the vibes, puts the phone back on the counter and floats out of the room.
“This is weird,” Ingo finally states.
“Oh, it’s weird?!” Emmet grabs Ingo’s shoulders, which is finally something he can do now. “Have you been following me the whole time?!”
Ingo avoids his brother’s deadly glare, instead finding the wall much more interesting. “Define the whole time.”
Emmet throws his arms in the air in defeat. “I can’t believe this. You were haunting me.”
“Hey, haunting is a strong word,” Ingo points at him, just like he used to whenever he got a lecture about running off. “I’d like to think we were just spending time together.”
“It’s not spending time together if I don’t know you’re there,” Emmet hisses, crossing his arms.
“Maybe, but at least I didn’t do that,” Ingo juts his thumb back over his shoulder, where Emmet’s dead body is still laying on the ground.
“Last I checked, you also died!” Emmet not-so-gently reminds him.
“Yeah, but I didn’t trip while making coffee,” Ingo scoffs. “This is pretty embarrassing for you.”
“Alright then, Mr. Perfect! How did you die, then?!”
Ingo suddenly loses his steam, awkwardly clearing his throat. “I, er… tripped. Off a cliff.”
“HAH!”
“SHUT UP!”
As Emmet’s laughter eventually dies down under the harshness of Ingo’s gaze, another strained silence fills the room. There’s been a pretty large shift to the dynamic of their apartment, characterized primarily by the fact that Emmet’s body is only growing colder. The two of them look at each other, hesitantly, perhaps looking for some solution to the pickle they’ve found themselves in.
At the very same time, both twins ask, “Now what?”
