You know what, I've seen plenty of people throw their Spider origins tales into the ring so let me add my outlandish idea to the mix. For some reason in my mind I have created an elaborate au where the RDA are funded by some 1%-er back on Earth and create a test batch in order to perfect their recoms, only for the test batch they use random people's memories from throughout all of their memory research (no point in tampering with any important memories, after all) and these people eventually create their own sort of society in this cove and in order to remember parts of their human culture they put a heavy emphasis on, like, music and oral stories that range from classics like Lord of the Flies and Homer's Illiad and Odyssey to things like Peter Rabbit and the hungry hungry caterpillar and fairytales and basic nursery rhymes and other children's stories for the little kids to just fun folktales and whatnot to just everyday books we would read today (Twilight and Harry Potter, anyone?) and even poetry and comics. And the music is even more varied. Pop songs and lullabies and folk songs and hip-hop and way more, and as they get more adept at crafting they begin to try and make instruments from back on Earth (I just like to imagine the trail and error going on there) and eventually they get the hang of it.

I like to think all of these stories and songs and genres would just mesh together in the funnest ways possible (Peter Rabbit becomes Little Jack Rabbit, for example; this naughty rabbit who spends his time doing crazy shit like stealing a giant fox's golden goose and narrowly avoiding being beaten by a farmer when he's caught trying to steal his vegetables---instead of "Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack jump over the candle stick" it becomes "Jack is nimble, Jack is quick, Jack can dodge the Farmer's stick") and maybe even begin to evolve into their own new stories and whatnot with some Na'vi influence but that's an ask for another time because rn I want to get to the point lol. So a little before Spider is born (in this au Paz is one of these experimental driverless avatars, but unlike the others she remained stationed at Hell's Gate; and Quaritch has an avatar because I said so) Paz flees to these people and Spider is raised there and this brings me to the whole reason I've created this elaborate thing: so Jake is aware of these people and is on good terms with them after the war. They're a direct link to his past and much like him in the sense that they were once human and now walk in a 2nd body, so he often visits them when time permits it but never brings the kids along. Think of this group like Jake's one indulgence after doing his best to fully commit to the Na'vi way. He wants his kids raised in this way and knows he's already pushing it with allowing the scientists back at Hell's Gate re-opening Grace's school.

Now, all of this being said, Norm and the scientists are very interested in the society that has formed. It's not very often a scientist gets to witness the creation of a unique culture first-hand (and on an entirely different planet, no less) and they're curious to learn more about these people. The only problem is that Jake is really the only outsider they trust after all they experienced gaining their independence. Due to this Norm and Max invite some of these people's children to the school as a way to hopefully begin building a friendly relationship that will one day lead to them in turn being invited to their settlement.

This is how the Sullies meet Spider, who is the son of Paz, the lead "Priestess of Songs". Spider is next in line to carry on the entirety of all of the songs and stories both maintained and created by their people, and as such he is sort of the child who sets an example for all of the others and so him attending basically decides if any others will attend the school as well. I imagine this story to go one of two ways: nocorro or locorro, though either way I know he and Kiri will end up besties.

Will I end up writing this? Will I not? Idk tbh, inspiration is to me like a breeze is to summer. Short-lived and often weak. I just felt like telling someone and you're always super nice about this stuff. Anyways there's a lot more I feel should be said about my thoughts but I've already hit you with a lot so if you want to hear more just say the word lol, but I'll stop here.

What an interesting idea! I'm really glad you guys think I'm nice about your ideas, why wouldn't I be! They're always super cool! I love sharing ideas and working on the concepts and headcanons with you guys, shoot me whatever! I know I keep saying it, but we'll be able to go back and forth much faster in a couple weeks lol.

I am very intrigued by the idea of how fast this culture formed if Paz is one of the original test subjects. I know Grace herself has been on Pandora for like, thirty years, so it has been a while, but not long enough for them to forget songs and stories to the point they have melded yet. I'm also curious as to how they gained their independence! Also how did Paz become their leader if she joined later?

Nocorro is of course, fun in this because Neteyam and Spider are both young leaders. They can bond over that pressure and hopefully let loose a little together. It also creates an interesting tragedy, of who is going to sacrifice their place if they are going to be together forever. Damn nocorro always ends up a little tragic.

Locorro would be like, Lo'ak totally being annoyed by this perfect guy Spider coming in and being a perfect role model. Then idk, he tries to get him to crack that image by teasing him or trying to get him to laugh, annoying him until he breaks. Kiri and Neteyam are all "stop flirting with Spider" and Lo'ak is like 👀. Lol poor Spider, he's never had such a hard time being serious he wants to laugh and tease back and be equally as annoying. This is his kryptonite.

HoM AU. Won't it be confusing since there's multiple Jacks in this AU? Jack Howl, Jack Skellington.

Also, love your AU and how insane it is.

Well, Jack is a very common name so it's used a lot in stories and common phrases: 'Jack of all trades', 'all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy' and others that I can't really think of right now. I'm a hundred percent sure that Yuu uses those phrases just to mess with him - like she could be talking about someone else and he'll pout, his ears will go down a bit and he'll whisper "but I'm Jack"

I actually remember this one time when I was babysitting my little cousin and he was watching this show that had these kids that were fairytale and nursery rhyme characters and there was this episode where Jack from 'Jack be nimble, Jack be quick' was trying to make a 'Jack Club' with Jack from 'Jack and Jill' and Jack from 'Jack and the Beanstalk'

How many times can I write Jack before it doesn't even look like a word anymore.

Also I don't know if anyone ever watched this show called Super Why! (the main character is the son of Jack from Jack and the beanstalk and his best friends are the daughter of the princess from princess and the pea, the daughter of little red riding hood and the son of one of the three little pigs) but I was obsessed with it when I was a child and I still to this day think that it's better than Ever After High but that might be the nostalgia talking.

okay folks i spent last night on the dropout discord not sleeping until i finished Puzzling the spells from timothy’s book so here’s what we’ve got:

jump from jack be nimble for obvious reasons

expeditious retreat from cinderella because she ran away from the ball and i know everyone thinks its jack and the beanstalk but as far as i, a fool, can tell, jack and the beanstalk never went into the book

lesser restoration from old king cole because brennan literally states that the old king cole rhyme grants tim the spell lesser restoration

calm emotions from the unfinished hey diddle diddle nursery rhyme (the cow jumped over the moon, the dish ran away with the spoon) i guess mostly just because of process of elimination—the spider from little miss muffet went to scheherezade, sleeping beauty wasn’t in the book yet i don’t think, drosselmeyer didn’t get written in the book he just disappeared

and then itsy bitsy spider granted a spell that was too high level—timothy is a level 4 bard and therefore knows up to level 2 spells. web (the most spidery spell) and spider climb (which would make some sense for itsy bitsy) are both level 2 spells, so it can’t be either of those. i think it’s probably water walk, a level 3 spell, because for me at least, that makes more sense than some kind of weather control like people were theorizing

also a lot of people were saying silvery barbs came from senator the ram but senator is first of all, part of king cole’s story, and second of all, tim had silvery barbs before they even met senator (he tried to use it when one of bandlebridge’s guys was yelling at pinocchio), and also silvery barbs wasnt one of the ones ally listed as tim getting them from the book

Of course I can't find it now, but I remember Mike Birbiglia having a joke about being described as a "nimble-minded comedian" in a review, being unsure what "nimble" meant, and having to recall the "jack be nimble" nursery rhyme. He concluded that it must mean fast, because you wouldn't say "jack be slow, jack be quick."

[its7amihaventslepthelp]

Finally got around to watching the new puss in boots movie and my god was that a wild ride. i honest to god did not really care about anyone else except for the bears goldie and jack.. im sorry the jack simps they pulled me in with their claws now i am one with them

and so i saw all these people drawing fan ocs with him. and i thought. hey. why not do the same? havent really seen any guy character shipped with him either so bada bing bada boom! now some info on this guy, his silly little name is jack b nimble! based off that one super short poem about a boy jumping over a candlestick. it was somehow one of the only fairytale poems i remember so i thought itd be a perfect chance! I basically just took the few lines of texts for this guy and put it on overdrive. now hes an acrobat where he does entire shows of leaping over pits of fire for whatever reason

definitely gonna try and tweak his design more since currently he just looks like every single guy i draw already

ty for reading my evil thoughts and characterizations of hundred year old nursery rhymes bless

Let's go up the giant beanstalk... (1)

“Jack and the Beanstalk” is without a doubt one of the most famous fairytales, and yet, do people really know it that well?

For example, many people tend to ignore where this story comes from. They put it by the side of other tales such as Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow-White or Hansel and Gretel, despite “Jack and the Beanstalk” actually not sharing the same origin. This tale is neither from the German märchen of the Grimm, nor a French conte de fées by Perrault – it does not come from countries of Northern Europe like the Billy Goats Gruff, nor does it come from Russia like The Firebird or Baba Yaga tales. No, Jack and the Beanstalk is rather one of the most famous and iconic British fairytales, coming from England – the other English fairytale able to rival with it in popularity would be “The Three Little Pigs”.

Now, let's already destroy a misconception. “Jack and the Beanstalk” is NOT the same story as “Jack the Giant-Killer”. Jack the Giant-Killer is not an alternate name for Jack and the Beanstalk – these are two different stories that yes, both involve a Jack and giants, but have their own histories, plots and origins. “Jack and the Beanstalk” and “Jack the Giant-Killer” both are however the peaks of a larger cultural iceberg known as the “Jack tales”. I’ll explain: in the culture, tales, folklore and literature of England, there is a recurring name. Jack. Jack is the common, every-man name used in most folktales and fairytales to designate their main character, and as such “Jack” became by itself a stock character or archetypal figure. As a result, an entire web of fairytales, nursery rhymes and other legends shaped themselves around this Jack, or these Jacks. This phenomenon is actually prevalent in all cultures and all fairytale groups, as every nation or country will have a “common name” or “everyman name” they will use regularly to designate the folktale or fairytale main character – to the point the name shapes a stock character or folkloric archetype. In Germany, it is “Hans”. In Russia, it is “Ivan”. In France, it is “Jean”. And throughout the British Isles, it’s Jack.

In terms of folklore, Jack declines itself most famously as Jack O’Lantern, Jack Frost, Jack in the Green, Spring-heeled Jack. In nursery rhymes, he is in “Jack be nimble”, and “Jack and Jill”, and “Jack Sprat”, and “Little Jack Horner”, and “This is the House that Jack Built”. And in fairytales, Jack is most famously represented by “Jack the Giant-Killer” and “Jack and the Beanstalk”. (The corpus can even be extended outside of the British Isles, because the Jack tales actually moved to the USA and found their place within the Appalachian folklore, creating an American branch there)

Now, back to the story itself.

“Jack and the Beanstalk” actually underwent several variations, but the core plot stays the same. Jack is a poor boy living in the countryside, and due to his misery he needs to sell his cow. He sells the cow for magical beans which, when planted, grow into a massively talk beanstalk, so big it reaches into the sky. Jack climbs the beanstalk and discovers there is a castle up there, where a man-eating giant lives. Hopefully Jack is protected by the giant’s wife. Jack ends up becoming rich by taking the money and magical items within the giant’s castle – and when the giant tries to climb down the beanstalk to chase Jack, the boy cuts the beanstalk, killing the giant in the process. Of course, this is a very, very simplified summary, but since everybody knows what the tale is roughly like, it will be enough for now.

When it comes to the tale, its most famous incarnation, the text usually reprinted and shared around, is Joseph Jacobs’ version, found in his “English Fairy Tales”, published in 1890. If you do not know, Joseph Jacobs is the brothers Grimm of England, the one who shaped and edited the most famous and iconic set of fairytales of his country). However, Jacobs’ version is but the latest incarnation of the Jack story. In 1845 (or 1842?), it had already been published in Henry Cole’s “Home Treasury” (under his pen name, Felix Summerly). This book was the one that popularized the Beanstalk tale in the mid-19th century (in turn, Jacobs explained that his version of the Beanstalk story, different from Cole’s own, was based on the various oral versions he heard in the 1860s).

Before Cole, the name to remember is Tabart – Benjamin Tabart. He is the one that published the other most famous version of “Jack and the Beanstalk”, in 1807, “The History of Jack and the Bean-Stalk”, sometimes printed as “The History of Jack and the Bean”. Today, whenever you search for a Jack and the Beanstalk copy, you will likely end up either with Jacobs’ version, either with Tabart’s one, despite both of them taking opposite approaches. For example, Tabart’s version is part of those “fairytales with morals”, meant to be educative fables for kids, and in it Jack appears as a moral and heroic figure in his right – for example, Jack’s actions are rationalized and justified because, as we learn by a fairy, the giant’s riches had been obtained by stealing the belongings of Jack’s father before murdering him. As such, Jack merely avenged his father and took back what was rightfully his – it was Tabart’s version that Andrew Lang included within his “Red Fairy Book” in 1890. Meanwhile, Jacobs’ tale lacks any moral and rather places back Jack in a neutral moral ground, stealing purely for material gain, exploiting the giant’s wife kindness and ultimately killing the giant not in an act of revenge but to save his life (though this is all nuanced by how the giant is explicitly described as a man-eater who isn’t above dining on children). Jacobs particularly disliked the moralizing of Tabart, and said in the oral versions he heard himself there was no justification for Jack’s action such as a theft-murder of his father. (As a personal note I can add that having a fairy arrive in the story to reveal the truth about a mysterious past, and deliver the moral of the story, is very clearly a literary device inherited from French literary fairytales, where such things were very common).

Which one is the closest to the original, oral tale? Nobody knows and experts have been debating it for a very long time – some claiming Tabart is a literary tale, and Jacobs’ is closer to the oral folktale, others affirming that Jacobs rewrote earlier published versions, and that Tabart’s older version is closer to the source-tales.

However, Tabart was not the oldest version of the Beanstalk story. In 1807, the same year as Tabart’s, an anonymous version was published within “The History of Mother Twaddle, and the Marvelous Atchievements of Her Son Jack” (there is an author’s signature, but it is initials, B.A.T.). This version is very different from the one we know today. Most notably Jack is not protected by the giant’s wife, but rather helped by the giant’s female servant: she is the one that leads Jack to the giants’ house, and she is the one that puts the giant to sleep by getting him drunk with beer. Not only that, but the thefts of the giant’s items are absent – rather, Jack beheads the giant, before marrying the servant, and having his mother climb the beanstalk to live with him in the giant’s house.

The oldest record of Jack and the Beanstalk is actually a version from 1734 called “The Story of Jack Spriggins and the Enchanted Bean”/”Enchantment Demonstrated in the Story of Jack Spriggins and the Enchanted Bean”, published in “Round about our Coal-Fire, or Christmas Entertainments” (“Round about our Coal-Fire was first published in 1730 but lacked the Jack tale, which only appeared in the 1734 edition). The most fascinating thing with this version is that it was an humoristic, parodic version that mocked the very tale it told… Which proved that by the 1730s, the story of Jack and the Beanstalk was famous and well-known enough orally to be parodied.

Oh man,that's hard to pick. I don't like what Disney did to pocahontas since they took a real kidnapping and turned it into a romance

Also don't like "jack be nimble, jack be quick, jack jumped over the candlestick" because, like, what's even the point of this one

[stabberghost]

My brain. I see one image of this Jack fellow and my brain immediately just makes up a fun cocncept for this character that doesn't exist. "B. Happys brother Jack? 🤔 -> Jack B. Happy. -> reminds me of that nursery rhyme "Jack be Nimble" ->Jack B. Nimble -> Funky little edgey man in cape torments you at night by speaking strictly in rhymes and ruining every nursery rhyme you've know by giving it some kind of fucked up dark meaning regardless of if the meaning is actually the true meaning or not. I mean look at him he's in a cape and speaking in rhymes how could he know know his stuff. In reality He's making this nonsense up off the dome and is just there to fuck with you. nothing more nothing less." What am I meant to do with this? 😭

This is the most sickest fucking concept ever holy shit his name is jack b. nimble now thank you

You guys are so close to making me want to make jack an actual character now what the hell

[takaraphoenix]

about mother goose- as someone who grew up in the usa, i think like 99% of americans would recognize/be able to recite mother goose poems/rhymes. when i saw that poll i couldn’t really remember which nursery rhymes were mother goose and when i looked it up i was able the whole of the rhyme by just looking at the title. even if they said they were only vaguely familiar/didn’t know mother goose most americans (i can’t speak for other english speaking countries) could recite baa baa black sheep, humpty dumpty, jack and jill, hot cross buns, how much wood could a woodchuck chuck, jack be nimble, hickory dickory dock, hey diddle diddle, hush little baby, and it’s raining it’s pouring

Having been informed that Humpty Dumpty is from this is actually wild to me because HIM I do know - I mean, that annoying egg was in the first Puss in Boots movie, after all. And Americans do love to put the talking egg into things.

Love how the majority of the things you list there sound more like you're having a stroke though. Hickory dickory dock hey diddle diddle. Okay. Sure. xD

Though, me being completely unfamiliar with this concept, I somewhat assumed there was like - some kind of common thread or something. The Mother Goose figure being more of a link between these. Or whatever. I don't know. So I assumed people would know what nursery rhyme is from this when I just throw that name at them, or at least vaguely. xD"
