Now I Just Accept Them - Blog Posts

I think reading folktales is the best antidote to Cinemasins everything-needs-a-logical-explanation brainrot, and by folktales I don't mean the disneyfied versions made to fit modern narrative sensibilities of three act structure and want versus need character arcs, I mean the unprocessed versions harvested straight from the mouth of some elderly european hick and thrown straight into the page with no revisions. The ones where a frog hops from inside a bathtub to tell the queen she's with child then disappears never to be seen again, where a chopped arm can grow anew from its stump like a willow, where a mother gives birth to a talking baby riding a goat. Some of you could use a bit of dreamlike absurdity with no explanation but the themes it represents, not the mechanics that allow it.
