NaNoWriMo is coming.
I told one of my friends I was doing it this year.
I discovered that, prior to this, I've never told non-writer friends about NaNoWriMo.
He almost lost his mind trying to fathom what I'm about to do.
No way I lose now, if only to prove him wrong.
50k words, here I come!

Huh... I just discovered there was a recent French book that is a Hansel and Gretel retelling... that takes place in Brazil and is called "Hansel and Gretel and Saci Pererê"
Tumblr media
The story is that Hansel and Gretel are now children of a gold-searcher living in Brazil... One day as the hungry children wander in the woods they meet the Saci Pererê, who decides to takes them on a magical adventure through time, to discover several of the great historical figures of Brazil - with food and sweets being a running theme unifying the whole book... At least that's what the back cover says.

EDIT: Wow okay... so apparently this is but one of an ENTIRE series of books centered around traditional European fairytales doing a crossover with either fairytale characters of non-European stories, or folkloric beings of Europe not usually seen in literary tales. Beyond the one above we have...
Donkey Skin and the Tanukis
Tumblr media
Beauty and Ganesh
Tumblr media
Red Riding Hood and the Chinese Dragon
Tumblr media
Bluebeard and B'rer Rabbit
Tumblr media
Cinderella and the Fire Bird
Tumblr media
Little Thumbling and the Minotaur
Tumblr media
Godilocks and Jean de l'Ours
Tumblr media
Snow White and the Korrigans
Tumblr media
The One Thousand and One Nights of Sleeping Beauty
Tumblr media
Wow... Just wow. I definitively need to get my hands onto one of those

what if Rumpelstiltskin was a tricksy, scary lady? what if she approached you in a modern-day bar?
what if @autisticempathydaemon wrote-ed and goated the script?
it might sound like this:

I Get Fractured Fairy Tale Vibes From This

Seriously, it makes me think Sally Starlet’s fairy tale segments were an art shift into 2D animation. And again it would be fun if it was inspired by Fractured Fairy Tales where the gang could go a little bit off base at times. Interesting they cast Frank as the prince and Julie as Cindrella since the former is confirmed gay.

☆ a fractured fairytale post 🧚‍♀️ ✨️ ☆
"Hey babe? Can you get the trunk from the attic for me?" She called out to her husband who was doing his usual moping in preparation of her yearly trip.
"Yeah" he groaned as he went toward the attic. He knew which trunk she wanted. He both loved and hated it.
He hated to see her pack it to go; he loved seeing her bring it back in the Fall.
She was busy bustling about when he delivered the trunk with his strong arms but sad eyes.
"I hate this..." his voice cracked.
She stopped and walked to him.
Lifting her delicate hands to his otherworldly face she replied "I know, Love."
"There was a time when I couldn't wait for this part, but in all of our time together, I have grown to love you in ways that cannot be measured." She spoke softly.
"I know," he replied. "It must be done this way, as it has been for all of time."
"But look for me," he continued, "when the raven flies overhead. When the dark moon arrives each month. And when the flowers droop and whither."
"I do every year, my love." She replied, delicately kissing a lone teardrop resting on his cheek.
"We have a few days yet. Let us make the most of them." She replied with an element of cheer.
"Yes, Persephone, my Queen," he said with bravery in his voice.
"You will always be my King, Hades." She spoke softly. "Now help me pack this trunk."
Soon it would be Spring and she would be gone. But in the Fall, she returns home. To him. 🖤

I have recently gotten into making fractured fairy tales, (I have more 🙂🙃) and thought what if the reason Snow White is named that is because she had albinism. (Ignor the spelling, and like I said I don't like drawing humans 😅)

I'm shocked that in the vast OUAT fandom nobody has mentioned its uncanny parallels to Michael Buckley's The Sisters Grimm books, particularly the notion of the walled in fairy tale town and the pretty bright parallels between Sabrina and Daphne and Emma and Henry respectively.

TMNT Snow White a crack!fic from 2002.
In this mangled fairy tale, fairest Michelangelo leverages his good looks and colossal eating talents to thwart a jealous old queen.

Last night I was at the theatre seeing the new production of Beauty and the Beast and trying not to compare it to the four productions I've seen previously.
Halfway through Act 2, I had this idea for a twisted BatB. What if when the Beast is cursed, he doesn't isolate himself hiding in the castle but instead gets out into the community to prove that he has learned his lesson.
But obviously no one trusts him because a) that prince guy was a dick and b) the Beast is quite terrifying (and like in the movie/musical, he struggles with being a decent person and has to learn).
No idea if I have the time or skills to do anything with this, but I liked the idea a lot.

Weird & Wonderful Wednesday
Tumblr media
Ah, more fractured fairytales, and the start of Harrow’s series that’s called Fractured Fairytales. In this case it’s about Zinnia Gray. She’s about to turn 21, which is as old as she’s going to get since because of an illness she got. No one else with that illness has lived past 21.
Of course, that would be a boring book (and sorta short). Zinnia’s best friend Charm wants to make Zinnia’s last birthday an awesome one, with a Sleeping Beauty theme. Except, when Zinnia actually pricks her finger, well, suddenly she’s adventuring through the multiverse, alongside another ‘Sleeping Beauty’ named Primrose.
Like a proper fractured fairytale, this takes these fairytales and tilts them on their head, or their side, or sorta upside down and inside out. The characters were really fun, and unique, and it was a fast read too. And, it is the first book too, with the second out as well.
You may like this book If you Liked: The Charmed Wife by Olga Grushin, Malice by Heather Walter, or Lava Red Feather Blue by Molly Ringle

☆ a fractured fairytale post 🧚‍♀️ ✨️ ☆
I just want to go to bed...
People are just after me today! Omg they just won't leave me alone.
"Do this, Aurora, Do that."
I just need a bloody nap.
No one here ever lets me nap.
They keep saying that I'm still a growing girl; that I'm 'sPeCiAl'. They're all so damn protective...
Which is good, I guess.
But why are they so afraid to let me sleep? WHY?!
This is exhausting.

This piece is lovingly dedicated to the memory of Francys Arsentiev, known as the Sleeping Beauty of Mount Everest. Her name has nothing to do with the original fairytale, but she is the subject of a topic that I'm incredibly interested in.
For more info:
I am also inspired by a sleepy teenage daughter of mine... 😉

Kinda thinking about how Phantom of the Opera is a lot like Beauty and the Beast (or the other way around idk) and I'm really in love with the whole trope there. But I want to write a fractured fairytale story. I wrote one about Peter Pan being a bad guy. Now I want to write an all new story.
Phantom of the Opera but Christine and Erik are women? Beauty and the Beast but theyre both women? I really want to show off bisexual pride in this story. I need help with ideas.
Idk what to do. Someone help me with this idea that's been gnawing at my brain for the past year!
