We want a blog of Fells game playing, from the perspective of the second drawer.

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Happy Birthday to my new nephew!

He doesn't quite have a name yet. The name in the lead right now is "Joshua." It should be sorted out soon.

Well, my nephew finally has a name. It's not Joshua. It's Asher Allyn. He might go by Ash for short, meaning that as a kid he'll train Pokemon and then grow up to fight the undead with his chainsaw hand.

And then marry a princess when she comes around with a glass chainsaw prosthetic and finds that his is the only stump in the kingdom that fits it.

(Based on the assumption that Ash is essentially a male translation of Cinderella)

     Aww, come on Fell, that is mean. He is so young and already you are hexing him by comparing him to female Disney characters. At least wait until the boy can defend himself properly.

Umm....

Yeah. Disney did NOT invent Cinderella.

Just thought I'd point that out.

Disney didn't even reinvent Cinderella. I'm not even certain that they're animators or writers paid very much attention to it while it was in their studio.

     Someone else wrote the story, but I think that Disney made it famous, and I didnt feel like putting in the effort necessary to figure out who really wrote it.

Nope, and nope.

Cinderella is a folk tale. Fairy tale, whatever. NOBODY wrote it, or rather, there are so many different versions of it and most of them are anonymous--and Disney definitely didn't make it famous. Perrault's version is the most famous, and the one that Disney based theirs on, though mostly a hack job. And Perrault didn't have singing mice. ;)

    Ok, I stand corrected Stacer. I called her a Disney character because that is where I know her from, so I assumed that that is what most people would know her from too.

No biggie, Archon. It's just that fairy tales and folk tales happen to be my specialty--I'm getting a master's in children's literature, and focusing on children's fantasy and its influences, so that's the sort of thing I notice, that's all.
