Wolf: “Put the cake and the little pot of butter upon the stool and come get into bed with me.”
-Charles Perrault

Little Red Ridinghood asked, “Where should I put my dress?”
The Wolf replied, “Throw it in the fire, my dear, you will not need it anymore.”

My goodness, the original tale and the many iterations and fan fiction does get a bit raunchy doesn’t it?

I grew up on stories of how important it is to “find a good mate”, and “avoid the bad ones”. But rarely stories teaches us how to be one of the “good ones”.

Reading some of those cheesy romances (I read them for the hawt guy on the cover, lol), well, that literature is kind of written to empower women sexuality and may have contributed to the feminist movement, or at least what women want from men (some good, but often times sets the expectations a little too high? Like how many men can be handsome, young, chiseled people who also happened to be a duke, or a Highlander, a pirate, Native American, or a firefighter, a T. rex, a were wolf or vampire, a sentient billionaire airplane, or all the above?). I prefer stories like Anne of Green Gables when it comes to empowering young people to be the better versions of themselves.

In our current dating culture involving people being online and swiping left and right, it’s hard to really get any idea of “getting to know the stranger”.

The fairytale of old had its use and purpose, but now with the environment being in danger and people judging others by their appearances and for their differences, I think now more than ever do we need to hear more stories of actually getting to know the strangers that we meet in our lives and not assume the worst of them (within Reason) and actually allow them to bring out the best in you and you bringing the best in others.

What was antagonist and victim could also have been thesis and antithesis which will go through conflict and turbulence but eventually lead to synthesis


*Note: I have a few things I need to confess. Yes I am a furry artist that cannot draw humans, and I am totally rubbish at keeping characters on model and consistent. One moment my human females have an A cup, the next image a D cup.

Oh, and boys, please don’t be weird and creepy like this. You can just be more direct about it and just wait for a yes or no. And girls, you honestly do not need to ask where to put your clothes, just don’t be a slob about it or forget about it.
