THE FAIRYTALE MEME
WELCOME TO THE FAIRYTALE MEME
Welcome to the Fairytale Meme, where it’s time to indulge in your happiest happily ever afters or your grimmest Grimm tales! I’ll provide the tropes, you provide the characters! Leave a blank comment or list your preferences! Pick and choose, RNG, or plot with a pal to come up with a story that suits you best! Of course, if there are tales, roles, or 'spells' you’d like to try that aren’t listed, go for them anyway! The only limit is your imagination!
-CHARACTERS-
Royalty : examples - King, Queen, Prince, Princess, Duke, Duchess, etc!
Are you spoiled sweet, or rotten and rich? Cursed because of your vanity, or seeking to find your one true love? A runaway bride, defiant rebel, or slave to tradition?
Commoner: examples – Servant, Peasant, Knight, etc!
Are you an indentured servant thanks to a cruel family, or a simple peasant who sings to the birds? Ready to go an epic quest to prove your worth, or just trying to keep your loved ones safe and sound? Longing for more, content in your ways, or indifferent to status?
Trickster: Fairy Godmother, Enchantress, Big Bad Wolf, Genie, etc!
You’re not quite human, except perhaps for your heart? Do you try to help those less fortunate, or pick on silly mortals for fun? Are you a member of the Fae, or a dragon guarding their horde? Trying to teach a lesson, greedily taking what you think is yours, or curious about the way the other half lives?
-STORIES-
Beauty and the Beast:
One person’s trapped in a monstrous form, the other is the cure! Unless you like your new body, and your true love is down with claws and scales. Hey, you do you.
Cinderella:
It’s a ball! Spice it up, make it a masquerade if you please! Royals and rags mix together under the sparkling lights for a dance of epic romantic proportions!
Red Riding Hood:
Onc’s a red-colored quester, the other’s a big bad wolf. Together they… fight crime! Or make out. Or antagonize each other. Or all of the above!
Rapunzel:
Have some oddly familial time with kidnapped kid and witch/warlock, or be the confused traveler who comes across the world’s most epic ponytail! Or beard, long as you climb gently.
The Little Mermaid:
The oh-so-classic tale of fishing for love! Or maybe the Sea Witch wants some action too. Go for the Disney sweetness of exploring the human world, or the agony of ‘de feet’ as every step is walking pain.
Of course, these are only a handful of fairytales, it’d be impossible to list them all. Go for what you’re craving! If you want to use a story that you’re not sure others will be familiar with, don’t hesitate to drop a link or a video – who doesn’t enjoy learning a new story? Or mix two or more stories together! These are only suggestions, go with what your inner author tells you!
-SPELLS-
True Love’s Kiss:
The cure-all to end all cure-alls! But maybe the cheek or forehead will count, as will the love of a family member or friend! Maybe neither of you even realized your feelings until that moment, oops!
Happy Haunts:
A spooky location, with sad tales of lost loves waiting for their intended on the other side. Are they trying to lure you to your death, or helping you avoid a similar fate?
Life’s A Happy Song:
This is “Tricksters Are Assholes” prompt. You got cursed to sing all the time! Or have frogs/jewels pop out of your mouth every time you speak! Or they’re giving you an impossible quest – hold onto your beloved if you want to keep them, even if they turn into ice or water!

And then she keeps pulling it up.
And keeps going.
And keeps going.
By the time she's sounds it several times around her glove she says aloud in obvious confusion:]
Who has hair this long?
no subject
I do.
[Says a voice from behind. Aaaand if Alice isn't fast enough, CONK! goes a frying pan to the head.]
no subject
In this case Alice turns seconds before the voice, that familiar creep up the back of her neck making her realize something was going to happen.]
Oh!
[That's all she gets out, no greeting or "how do you do" or anything. Nothing but a frying pan upside the forehead.
To say it staggers her is an understatement. The hand formerly reeling up that silvery hair goes straight for her forehead and Alice bends dramatically at the waist, clutching at her knee with the hand still bearing the length of hair wrapped around it.
Ooooh boy.]
no subject
[At least this was a lighter copper skillet as opposed to a cast iron pan, that probably would have opened up Alice's skull. Instead, the tall dark-skinned just wanted to concuss the intruder enough to grab her wrists, bind them in long, curly, almost cloud-like locks of moon white hair, and then do the same with her ankles. Congratulations, intruder, you've just been hogtied. With hair.]
no subject
Alice isn't sure what to say about all of this. Not that she could say much of anything for a while as unconscious as she was but when she woke up.]
Nnh, my head...
[Mumbled to the floor, of course. She shifts in place then only to find said movement really wasn't getting her much of anywhere.]
no subject
[Yup. When you have ridiculously long hair and almost boundless free time, you get surprisingly good at knots. But while Alice is struggling on the floor, the captor goes to grab a chair to drop her prisoner onto.]
Now... who are you, and what are you doing in my tower?
