Hi friends!
I am a guest on "Down Time," a podcast run by some lovely friends, including patron Dave B.! We talk books, TV, F*cked Up Fairy Tales, and more!
I do Allerleirauh - I wont be offended if you skip it, its the umpteenth time I've shared it, after all! 😂
Hello, Fucked Up Fairy Fans! Thanks for your patience as we pulled together this episode!

Would it be more correct to say "The Maiden Without Hands"? Does it make it more "fairytale-ish" to say "with no hands"?
FUFT Flashback from August 2021!

A compilation video of "The White Cat" and the bio I shared of Madame d'Aulnoy last year. I will be sharing another of Madame's tales, along with two of her contemporaries, in the premiere episode of FUFTPod Season 4, coming next week!

This week, I'm posting a couple flashback tales on YouTube from last March.
This one really flopped because I tried the ten minute format early on, ha! So you may not have even seen it.
Also that March was some huge creator drama, and nothing was going anywhere if you weren't talking about it! I kind of think that may have been what really broke TikTok in the first place, lol!
2023-03-07 15:51:07 +0000 UTC View PostYes, tonight's cinderella is half sheep!
2023-01-06 21:32:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe Cinderella is very similar to little saddle slut that I shared last year on TikTok. But it does have some differences.
I also have Snow White up on tick tock today. It's doing terribly so far, which is so weird for such a popular fairy tale! Usually when I do a big one like that, I'm guaranteed some views. I'm starting to wonder if my swearing videos are being suppressed more these days. My last around the world folktale did really well (by today's standards for views. Lol) and my ...
Alright, should we take bets on how many versions of Cinderella I get thru before we all get sick of it?! 😂 New series on YT and Reels!

This one will make your mouth water! And it's specifically a Hanukkah-set tale!

Tonight's a weird one with the dumbest prince I've ever met, possibly?
Can't believe it's halfway done!

Hello! A silly little tale - if you missed my podcast episode of Jewish tales, I talk a little on the history of the Wise Men of Chelm and share a few more of their stories.

A spooky tale tonight! Another one of what goes around comes around too. Enjoy!

"The Pastry That was Eternally Dirty" - I don't care how dirty it is, I'm gonna eat that rugelach!
As always, I publish early on YouTube, and it will go up later this afternoon on clock app.

New video up (will be on TikTok later*).
Some folks wonder why songs like "Santa Baby" make Christmas sexy, but this Norwegian folktale is proof that we've always paired Christmas and love-making. Well, at least some have tried. . . Off to Norway today for Around the World in 2022-12-05 16:36:06 +0000 UTC View Post
OH MY GOD IT IS HAPPENING.
I HAVE MERCH.
IT IS HERE.
That being said, I just ordered some samples of it so if you want to hold off until I do a quality check, please do!
I'll send out a sticker set to all patrons who have been here for 1+ years!
You'll also see some artwork I did for a set of Galentines. I just put these up there because I had to have at least five pieces before I could open the shop LOL. I'll probably take them down once I have a few more FUFT d...

This fairy tale is awesome. An incredible heroine and an ambiguous ending. Where is my Norwegian action film version of this?!
This is the full-length version, multi-parter will be up on TikTok later this afternoon.
Sorry I haven't been able to do "extended cuts" of tales lately. I'm hoping it's a perk I can offer more in the "off-season" of the podcast or something. It's been hard to keep up!

Hello!
Here's the "full length" version of the story I'm sharing on TikTok later today! One of my favorite varieties of Rumpelstiltskin. It's not quite as colorful as the Grimm version, but I find it delightful. Plus, it focuses on two ladies.
Side Note: Those of you who see my Instagram stories may have seen a link I shared from Book Riot about a new YA collection of twists on fairy tales. The excerpt on Book Riot is "Say My Name" (Ha!) a short story that moves Rumpelstiltskin...

Hello, Fucked Up Fairy Fans!
Today's post is equal parts historical record and folktales.
It is also another episode that gets particularly adult. (Boy there's been a lot of that this season. Something for me to work out in therapy. :-P)
Special thanks to Matt G (aka @MattHatterPlays, aka "The Indigenous Folklorist" - Hopi) for providing a sensitivity read.

Hello!
Thumbelina (full length) is up on the 'tube today!
Later I'm sharing "Thumbelina: the Therapy Sessions" on TikTok and Instagram (I may drop them over the next few days). I'm experimenting with ways to do complimentary work - more short form on TikTok and long form on YouTube. So those of you who follow me both places have some variety and/or to see if the short form works better these days on TT and IG.
I dunno if I'll keep it up. As always, we try ...
2022-11-17 15:23:31 +0000 UTC View PostHi all!
I'll be taking a short hiatus from posting content from 11/1-11/14. I need a break for my health and home and sanity, lol! Additionally, with the midterms, I expect it will be a terrible time for content that isn't purposefully rage-stoking.
The podcast will still come out as scheduled here, though!
11/9 - Keep Calm and Fairy On
11/23 - Indigenous Tales
I hope to have Fall of the House of Usher posted on Halloween, and I'm doing a scary ...

Hello!
Here's tomorrow's tale a day early to your inbox! You'll notice I present this very straight. Last year people seemed to enjoy when I told Tailypo in a straightforward spooky stories way, so I gave this one that treatment too.
And there's no parody of The Monkey's Paw that can outdo the Simpsons one so...
Enjoy! You can actually just listen to this one like an audiobook if you like - the video is very simple and it's fully narrated.

Hi friends!
Sorry I didn't get this together in time for "early access" (nor was I able to make an extended cut) - but you can enjoy all three bogeyman stories I shared on Tiktok in one vid here if you like!
Creature folklore isn't really my wheelhouse, but I get so many requests for it, I'm trying to get in that "zone."

Hi Fucked Up Fairy Fans! It's a pretty terrible 4th of July here in America, so have some stories early. I've included the Nightingales tier in this one too, as a thank you!
This is the season finale of the FUFTPod! I'm taking July and August off from the main podcast, though I hope to have a couple of surprise treats during that time. I'll be taking the time for a break, then to prep for season three, as well as get some merch happening!
I hope you have a wonderful summer! ...

Hi all! This episode is all about Hansel and Gretel type tales!
I covered "Molly Whuppie" a ways back on TikTok, which is another one of these stories. You can view it (or review it) here. It was before I knew to put subsequent parts in the comments - but it's in my playlist "Irish/Scottish/British."

Hi friends!
As I've been widening the scope of the stories I tell on "F*cked Up Fairy Tales," I've been searching for ways to responsibly share stories that fall outside my cultural experience. On a recent popular video, a TikTok user suggested I donate a portion of monetary gains from my stories to an organization that supports the people whose story I've shared. I think this is a great idea, and I'm excited to make my first donation!
Each month, I'll donate 1/3 of my funds...
