Fairy Tales Are Bad-Ass

A while back I got into a small discussion about fairy tales, and the tone thereof.  Which is general, lacking in specifics.  That’s part of the fun of fairy tales!  They don’t tell you the toad’s name or backstory, or what childhood issues sent the Prince out a-questing.  They simply present these things, demanding that you step into their world.

In the language I used to use a lot, they demand a paradigm shift.  In the language we use more nowadays, they require you to use a new operating system.  Meaning, there is no translation provided.  Fairy tales are not going to explain to you how to get step-by-step from where you are to where they are.  Either go there or not, the frogs and princesses really don’t care.

This is what makes fairy tales bad-ass.  This is why they’re fun.
