…Fairy tale mech anime where the mechs are giant wooden puppets carved by Geppetto from Pinocchio. Goldilocks pilots the bear mech, Red Riding Hood pilots the wolf, the frog mech wants to be a human, and Beauty falls in love with her beast mech. Is that anything.

Beanstalked is a webcomic following Jack, a farm boy who recently just found out he's a fairy tale, as he tries to figure out what his true happy ending is in a world where Happily Ever Afters are disappearing.

If you like fairy tales and magic with a side of blood, violence, and swearing THEN GO CHECK IT OUT!

Red Beans is a very self indulgent couple for me so I decided to draw something especially indulgent for myself.

A full explanation for the reason behind this pic would require a long ass ramble post but I'mma save that for a later day and simply say that a m/f couple that don't desire kids is very nice and sweet to me.

Jack and the beanstalk just works for them okay

Also Stanley's wife is definitely only expressive because he sets her up to look that way. He's... 78% mentally stable. At most.

Book summaries and submitted endorsements below:

Dionysus in Wisconsin by E.H. Lupton (Wisconsin Gothic #1)

Endorsement from submitter: "Gay urban fantasy in Madison, WI"

A graduate student and an archivist work together to fight a god.

Fall, 1969. Ulysses Lenkov should be working on his dissertation. Instead, he's developing an unlucrative sideline in helping ghosts and hapless magic users. But when his clients start leaving town suddenly—or turning up dead—he starts to worry there's something afoot that’s worse than an unavenged death or incipient insanity. His investigation begins with the last word on everyone's lips before they vanish: the mysterious Dionysus.

Sam Sterling is an archivist who recently moved back to Madison to be closer to the family he's not too sure he likes. But his peaceful days of teaching library students, creating finding aids, and community theater come to an end when the magnetic, mistrustful Ulysses turns up with a warning. There's a god coming, and it looks like it's coming for Sam.

Soon the two are helping each other through demon attacks, discovering the unsavory history of Sam's family, and falling in love as they race to find a solution. But as the year draws to a close, they'll face a deadly showdown as they try to save Sam—and the city itself.

Leagues and Legends series (Beanstalk: The Adventures of a Jack of All Tales, Echoes of a Giantkiller, Remember the Dust) by E. Jade Lomax

Jack Farris doesn’t want to save the world, just every person he knows, encounters, or hears of.

It’s a bit of an issue.

S. Grey doesn’t want to save anyone but himself. He wants to know everything and majoring in sagework at the Academy is the best way to do that.

Laney Jones left her home to avoid the constraints there, only to find different barriers holding her back at the Academy. Eager to learn, to excel, to escape, she has far from given up.

Rupert Willington Jons Hammerfeld the Seventh would just like everything to be orderly, thank you very much, but it seems the only way to make monsters and myths (and malicious but mundane men) to stop rampaging through his world is to go out and do some hero-ing himself.

They are put together as an unwilling study group, but they become something more.

You know what I would do if I were going to make a Jack & the Beanstalk movie based off this poster?

I’d make Jack a Flik-from-Bug’s-Life type of dreamer who is highly ambitious. Instead of being an inventor like Flik, Jack is just sort of entangled in his own imagination. He’s always coming up with hare-brained schemes to win himself fame and his family glory, and he’s an easy mark for con men because he’s always jumping at the next chance to grow up and away from his little impoverished town.

But I’d make the little giantess around 10 years old. She’s the princess of the giant kingdom, and she's the most important thing in the world to the Queen Giantess. Her name is "Cynnie" which is short for "Cyneburg."

Princess Cynnie wants to explore the world because that's what her father the King Giant does—he's always going out hunting or conquering. But her mother is bound and determined to keep Cynnie at home. She gives her everything she could ever want, lots of toys and distractions, and whenever Cynnie becomes disobedient, throws a tantrum, or tries to run away, the Queen Giant calms her with a special treat: a song from a rare captive human singer. The singer's name is Daina, but the giants keep her locked up to do their bidding and refer to their slave only as "the golden harp."

Jack climbs the beanstalk and discovers the giant kingdom, and wants the gold there to prove what he's found and make his family rich. But he's discovered by Princess Cynnie during a welcome-home banquet for the King Giant. She hides him from her ever-hungry father, and he tries to make friends with her as soon as they're alone.

This sort of backfires, because Princess Cynnie is so excited that there's a way to get down to the human world that she immediately wants to escape with Jack. She's caught but keeps Jack a secret, and out comes the Queen Giant's "golden harp" singer. Jack learns two things. 1) That the song has a weirdly powerful affect on Princess Cynnie, and 2) the golden harp is a very pretty young woman of his own age who is trapped against her will.

Jack befriends the isolated Princess Cynnie to keep himself alive and learn more information about where Daina is kept, but has to tread carefully because the spoiled princess loses her temper often and is only mollified when he lets her treat the much smaller human like a toy.

Jack comes to empathize with Cynnie and trust her enough to bring her in on the plan to free Daina. However, just as she begins seeing him as more than a toy, she also fears losing her one friend and gets jealous of Daina. Meanwhile, Daina explains that her song calms Cynnie because she's an enchantress. The Giant Queen uses her magic singing to keep the child from getting wild ideas and leaving home. Jack has to convince Daina to stop enchanting Cynnie, and use her song to try and trick the Queen instead, even though it jeopardizes her own life.

Something like that. And the idea is, people aren't toys. You can't trick and manipulate and hair-brained-scheme them into behaving how you want them to behave, even if you are bigger and louder and convinced that your way is right.

But they cancelled the movie so we'll never know now

It’s occurred to me many people don’t know who the characters in red shoes and the seven dwarfs are based on in fairytales.

Let’s start with the obvious:

Snow White is Snow White from Snow White and the 7 dwarfs

Regina is the evil queen from Snow White and the 7 dwarfs

King white is king white from Snow White and the 7 dwarfs

Now to the f7:

Merlin is based on Merlin from Arthurian legends

Arthur is based on King Arthur from Arthurian legends

Jack is based off Jack from Jack and the beanstalk

Hans is Hansel from Hansel and Gretel

Pino, Noki, and Kio are Pinocchio from Pinocchio (this one really killed me because I couldn’t get it, I got the others but this one I had to look up lol).

I couldn’t find if prince average is based on anyone, I think he’s just the average prince in fairytale stories, no extraordinary characteristics, no first name, just nothing outside of his overall unappealing personality and vainness.

Edit/ @astrolionking reblogged and pointed out Prince Average is based on the huntsman whose ordered by the evil queen to kill/capture snow/red.

Y'know, if I had a nickel every time Disney cancelled an animated gt movie that would've been amazing, I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird (and sad) that it happened twice
