Any story claiming to be a deconstruction of fairy tales but has nothing to offer except new types of violence, more explicit sex, and a general attitude of “lol happy endings aren’t real” is like. such a cultural waste of time tbh

know what actually is a good deconstruction of a fairy tale? Shrek. It fucks up just about everything in a normal fairy tale and still manages to have a happy ending with a good message and never once has to be ‘gritty’ or ‘dark’. It’s actually really well done.

“The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.”

– Ursula LeGuin, ‘The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas’

lmao this is such a running joke in fairy tale academia that we keep a tally every time fairy tales are combined with ‘dark’ or ‘twisted’

Please reblog, this is so important.

I needed this

Is this foreal?

Yes it’s a real service. I do volunteer work for a rape crisis support service in my city and texting is one of the features we provide as well. But just to boost its credibility, I tried it myself:

I’ve used this before and it’s a huge life saver. The volunteer literally talked me down from a panic attack and sent me links to helpful websites pertaining to what I was dealing with

i’ll never forgive what this hellsite did to undertale tbh

we had an extremely well written game where litterally every single character was likeable in their own way, even when every single one of them had flaws. we had a lesbian couple where it was impossible to get the true ending without pairing them together. had incredible humour. we had this beautiful story about how you have to help a young child let go of the greif and pain of losing his parents and his beloved sibling and becoming a soulless husk. meanwhile helping the soul of the first child be finally put to rest. and is even a game where you don’t even want to reset it after finishing it, as you have the power to rip the happy ending away from the characters who finally get their freedom, and kill all of them in the process. and is quite litterally up to you what their fate will be.

undertale was such an incredible game, and in my opinion, dare i say almost perfect rpg and i’ll litterally never forgive that it got reduced to weird sans rule 34 and “haha sans undertale”
