I love how he drew every letter and the signature says

"-Da King"

King: “YOU FED ME MY CHILDREN”
Cook: “nah, bro”

[sonjapersch]

Fun fact for everyone being horrified: we still tell all the Grimm's fairy tales the original way in Germany. Yes, to children.

[rangaenjoyer]

"Talia, plz come over<3
-Da King" lol😂

[badnipple]

I CRACKED UP SO HARD WHEN THE TWO STUICK FIGURE FAIRIES CAME ON SCREEEN dead

This story version of Sleeping beauty teaches everyone that you should be a kind person just like the cook; generosity is rewarded and evil deeds are punished

[mhairiharris]

“Do you really want to ruin it by listening to a story with *Rape* and *Cannabalism* ?”

Me: WHAT?

“Alright lets go”

Me: *WHAT?!!*

[ummmchileanywayssooo]

The cook saved the children COOK YOU ARE AWESOME

I think that alot of these stories were written by men who didnt know about the childbirth process.

[mateojackson]

how did the babies survive for nine months if talia didn’t eat anything
🧐 excuse me wtf

[keshiaanders]

"Sun, Moon, and Taliah" is one of the rarest fairytale where the second wife and/or stepmother wasn't the evil one.

[damunaik]

Talia, send the babies. Plz.
Talia, come over <3
*Da* King
😂😂😂😂😂

Not gonna lie, I lost it when the doodle of the fairies came up. XD
They're cute tho.
I really like this format.

[alanchoichang]

the king went back to "check up on her"....

[BigAl-ue]

Rape, Murder, and Cannibalism.
The 3 most important things in a messed up origin.

[alrightlosangelous]

"Please come over <3" lol

[emilylyon]

At the end, I thought the original story sounded sweet. Until I remembered the rape, that is, and then it kinda lost its charm

Well if you ignore that the king raped a random unconscious girl in the forest, it's a pretty story

[percyykatt]

King: **makes love to Talia**

Fairies: AYE bro whatcha doing?!

King: oh! Just making love to an unconscious women and secretly getting her pregnant with twins even though I am a married man. Ya know the usual
