I like the whimsy of fairytales so much with all their strange rules that just are respected and personifications of things like the wind that noone questions and characters’s reactions that are either too drastic or too mild for the situation and never just right

Modern storytelling makes too much sense 😞

#just read the rest of the stories in the east of the sun west of the moon anthology can you tell #I also read about Egle queen of the serpents and kinda want to read an anthology of lithuanian tales

disclaimer: yes, I am complaining about cheating in media. Because, yes, writers have the freedom to create what they want but if the morality in creation is free for all forms of media, but no piece of art is exempt from criticism, and that includes criticism on personal moral grounds. I betcha if I said Harry Potter is good, actually, everyone on here would flood my blog telling me I am wrong because of the author's intense prejudice. That being said, I am criticizing cheating in fiction, If you don't like that, don't interact

So often lately I see period dramas where the husband cheats on the wife (ex. Poldark, The Essex Serpent, Queen Charlotte, The Great)...and not only do I despise the cheating trope with every fibre of my being to where I get panic attacks when I consume the media...but specifically with period dramas...

Do these writers not understand the greater implications of a husband cheating on a wife during these periods? More than just the humiliation and heartbreak in the case of a loving, good marriage just like it is today.

In the Western world, probably until certain laws were enacted in the 1900's, if a woman married a man, she was legally his property. She had no legal identity under him. She was financially dependent on him. Any wages she made would automatically go to her husband. Her children were also not legally her children- they belonged to the father. If the husband died, even if the wife was still alive, the children were legally considered orphans.

Women could only rarely gain a divorce from their husbands. In England in the mid-1800's specifically, if a wife divorced a husband she had to prove he had to not only cheat but also be physically abusive, incestuous, or commit bestiality. On the other hand, a husband could divorce a wife just for being unfaithful. Because, kids, there were sexual double standards.

Getting married was often the endgame for a lot of women during that time. Sometimes you couldn't make your own living enough- marriage was a way to secure your entire future financially, with more than enough money to get by. If you were a spinster and middle class, you could get by with a job. But if you are an upper-class lady, the one thing a lady does not do is get a job and work. So upper-class spinsters basically were dependent on their families to get by (ex. Anne Elliott in Persuasion faces this with her own toxic family). As strange as it sounded today, marriage gave them some freedom to go about since a husband could be persuaded sometimes more easily than a father and one had a different home, their servants, etc. A husband was your foundation entirely for being a part of society, and standing up as your own woman.

So if a husband cheated on a wife, that was a threat to take all of that away.

He could give a lot of money that could be used to support his wife and children to the mistress. He could completely abandon said wife for the mistress. And since the wife legally couldn't get a job as he still lived, she would be dependent on any money he would said- and that is IF he sent over any money.

He could take her to court and publicly humiliate her to get a divorce away from her (look up the separation of Charles and Kate Dickens, he would call her mentally ill and say her cooking was bad and that she was having more children than they could keep up with all while having an affair and divorcing her to be with the misteress). And even if the wife was the nicest, more proper, goodest, more rule-abiding never-keeping-a-toe-out-of-line lady in town...as a man, the law was default on his side (look up Caroline Norton's A Letter to the Queen which details exactly that, the poor woman had her earnings as a writer taken by her husband and was denied access to her children from said husband)

So yeah...even if there was "no love" between them (and anytime the wife is portrayed as too boring or too bitchy so He HaS tO cHeAt is brought up is...pretty victim blamey)

So yeah. Period drama writers, if you have the husband have an affair ...just consider the reality of these things and address them, maybe punish the husband for once (*gasp* men facing consequences for their actions?!?!!), and if not, just please find other options and other tropes and devices for once.

The implications of Taylor Swift wearing her diamond chain mail dress tonight which is a clear reference to the one she wore in That Bathtub Scene™️ in the LWYMMD video but it also looks like an unwrapped version of the dress she wore on that night in 2009, when it’s literally been 13 years since... no one is doing it like her. absolutely no one

#taylor swift #vmas 2022 #the easter eggs are all around us #serpent queen #lwymmd #she did not come to play #we are not safe #the woman is an agent of chaos #she's messing with us #be prepared guys #hannah post™️#tumblr viral

“And if the serpent grows in monstrousness and corruption, if it poisons the land of Elfhame itself, then let me be the queen of monsters. Let me rule over that blackened land with my redcap father as a puppet by my side. Let me be feared and never again afraid.”

I actually can’t stop thinking about East of the Sun, West of the Moon… I’ve read that entire collection of Scandinavian fairytales, and there were some others that I liked a ton as well (I thought the one about the giant who didn’t have a heart was great too) but something about East of the Sun West of the Moon was just so good..

It is just Beauty and the Beast with extra steps, but I liked that their love was mutual before the enchantment was broken, I liked that it had the motif of a woman looking for her lost husband and subsequently rescuing him, also personified Winds are characters in like every tale in this collection but it was good to see them here too; idk I just think that this fairytale was really neat

#after this I bought several anthologies of fairytales from various regions #so far I’ve read some baltic and slavic ones #but so far the only one I liked as much as this one was Egle the Serpent Queen #I want to read Chinese tales after I’m done with the Baltic ones
