[When the video switches on, Ahiru is sitting on her bed flipping hurriedly through a book - Grimm's Fairy Tales. She'd had a few days of free time on her hands at the beginning of the week, and she's taken the opportunity to make a trip to the library. Once she had read the other books and started on this one, she had grown more and more dismayed ( Read more... )

We had one at home that talked about how elves'd steal babies if you pissed em off.

But the one you told me was really nice!

Wha-- oh, the shoemaker one. Yeah, well, those were English elves. The Irish ones is nastier.

Couldn't they just talk to the people who made them angry instead of stealing their babies?

Not all stories are happy.

[video] quackery March 25 2011, 06:15:22 UTC

They can all have happy endings if the people in them try hard enough, Fakir.

[..... Bawww, Ahiru. HE CAN'T EVEN TSUN TO THAT. His face softens a little bit]

That depends if they're willing to fight their fate or not.

A-are you sure that's a fairy tale, Ahiru?! I've never heard of that story before!

quackery March 25 2011, 17:34:25 UTC

I read all the words straight out of the book!

troublesmells March 26 2011, 01:21:39 UTC

M-maybe the book's a fake! Or someone's playing a joke on you!

quackery March 26 2011, 01:22:55 UTC

I got it from the library!

Die Brüder Grimm? Their tales were derived from folklore. I doubt they were really intended for children.

video. quackery March 25 2011, 17:28:57 UTC

Die Brüder... Were they German?

video. cantgetlaidin March 25 2011, 17:37:31 UTC

They were. They traveled all over the country collecting stories.

video. quackery March 25 2011, 17:40:11 UTC

I never heard of them... When were they alive?

True fairytales rarely have a happy end, Ahiru. They're usually meant to teach a lesson or moral.

[Video] quackery March 25 2011, 17:32:51 UTC

Can't they have a happy ending and still teach a good lesson?

[Video] littlest_lord March 26 2011, 05:53:43 UTC

The world isn't a happy place.

[Video] quackery March 26 2011, 05:55:01 UTC

Maybe not this world, all the time.
