As our little podcast slowly draws to a close (two more episodes after this one), our intrepid hosts recap some heavy hitters.

Ah, Edgar Allen Poe. Doing things to raven's tongues so they can talk, glazing over the logistics required for a six month orgy... and apparently getting press-ganged into voting until he died?

Our three hosts recap the non-Poe story from our Halloween episodes: Bluebeard, The Goose Girl and The Singing ! Some fun facts learned along the way is that Ariel's "ASMR voice" affects Ian too much to drive, neither Ian nor Ariel ever watched Game of Thrones, and Nick does a bang-on impersonation of Mickey Mouse.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/ChaoslillyCreations)

Ariel, Nick and Ian take one sit down for one last regaling of Sinbad's Voyages! They joke about him being shipwrecked on the shore of lost cosplayers (complete with oblique Yaya Han reference), throw Ariel for a loop as the boys discuss old-timey LucasArts and Sierra adventure games, and Ian keeps predicting all the plot points due to trope awareness.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/ChaoslillyCreations)

This week on Fairy Tale With Ariel, our host reads us the most epic fairy tale that Disney has surprisingly NOT made into a feature film yet. With an ugly prince and princess, fairies who turn those who don't love them into animals, and a monarch literally named King Grumpy, it's sure to reward all who would rather be good than beautiful (but wish that they can have both).Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/ChaoslillyCreations)

Welcome back to Fairy Tale With Ariel, where she, Nick, and Ian are all bewildered at how utterly brainless Sinbad and his crew are in the face of a cannibalistic giant. While recounting his third and fourth voyages, our hosts discuss how Sinbad is like a horror movie Final Girl, why giants don't seem to know how to cook a fat captain properly, and whether Arabian Nights invented Inception.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/ChaoslillyCreations)

A weaver is able to figure out something a king cannot. A haircutter struggles to maintain an emperor's secret.

Is that a sand bar? Oh, no... whale! Also, a long-awaited return! This week, Ariel and Nick welcome back cohost Ian, who has been away. Together, the trio breaks down the first two voyages of that classic idiot who always fails upwards, Sinbad. Listen as they demonstrate how much Tik Tok is influencing their music references, explore pointless cul-de-sacs of subplot, ask if a cubit is too much for your first time, and otherwise witness Nick having to restrain himself from making even filthier jokes.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/ChaoslillyCreations)

This week on a soothing edition of our podcast, Ariel reads "An Impossible Enchantment," where a princess is helped by fairies and merfolk alike, and "The Marvelous Musician," where the eponymous character is a jerk to woodland creatures and gets away with it scott-free.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/ChaoslillyCreations)

This week on the podcast, as Ariel and Nick discuss Halfman, and How the Wicked Tanuki Was Punished, they query whether the eponymous Halfman was literally half a man or just vertically challenged, take a detour into extolling the virtues of Alan Rickman, and surprisingly make no dick jokes at the tanukis' expense.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/ChaoslillyCreations)

On this soothing week of Fairy Tale, polymorphic transformations are all the rage. Join our host, Ariel, as she takes us through "Jorinde & Joringel," where a young lover must save his his fair maiden who has been turned into a bird by a witch, and "The Fish Girl," where after a spoiled girl is punished by being turned into a fish, she strives to redeem herself by retrieving a crown.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/ChaoslillyCreations)

Is that a princess snake, or are you just happy to see us? This week, Ariel and Nick discuss The Dead Wife (which kinda seems like a riff on Orpheus) and Flower Queen's Daughter (which kinda feels like a riff on Persephone, who, let's face it, really does have her shit together). In addition, we'll discuss the merits of Door Dash vs Grindr when it comes to dating, contemplate how the awful possibility that people are learning to speak English from listening to our madness, all while Nick makes an off-color joke (surprise, that) about ovaries in jars. Also featuring brief cameos from editor Scott!

Hello, everyone. After a brief hiatus for our reading content, we now return with Ariel's soothing "ASMR" voice (tm). This week, we check in with some bovidae story themes through two stories: Peter Bull, and The Goat-Faced Girl. In the former, we learn whether or not it's wise to sink your money into turning a bull into an educated human. In the later, we learn that if you want to avoid having your sudden goat-face ruin your marriage plans, maybe you shouldn't piss off fairies with your ingratitude.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/ChaoslillyCreations)

Happy New Year! This week brings a very special guest alongside hosts Ariel & Ian: Brenna, aka QueenBcosplay! Considering how instrumental they were in inspiring Ariel to start this whole podcast, it's lovely to have them on the show.And what a show! This week we go a little out of order, skip ahead and look at The Snow Queen (a Hans "What goes on in that man's head? Christ"ian Anderson joint). "Dickspect" a lot of giggling, the revelation that Milla Jovavich and the Snow Queen share the same wardrobe, and musings on what Nick is hoping for 12 inches of. Also, make sure to not let strange robber princesses play with your muff!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/ChaoslillyCreations)

Happy holidays! For this Yuletide episode, your soothing-voiced host Ariel does a lovely reading of two little stories from Hans Christian Anderson: The Tin Soldier and The Little Match Girl. Because nothing boosts seasonal depression like a toy soldier whose toxic masculinity masks real pain, and a destitute child hallucinating riches as she freezes to death. Thanks, Hans!

Winter is coming, and with it comes a trifecta of fairy tales to make you appreciate the warmth of home. In the first, Snowflake, an elderly couple make themselves a child out of snow, who meets an unfortunate end. In the second, Puss In Boots, a sharply shrewd cat (with his wee little boots) wins for his master the best living arrangements a kingdom could offer. And finally, in The Frost we see how the eponymous natural occurrence can be awfully petty.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/ChaoslillyCreations)

When the Ian is (unfortunately) away, Nick and Ariel come out to play. But remember, when it comes cracking you up... Nick don't play.This week, our hosts discuss their first batch of King Arthur stories, featuring melon soda, buff silk, phallic murder candles, gallivanting and a Shia LaBeouf flesh cup. No, not all of those make sense, even in context. But, hey, due to computer errors, we have a nice Monty Python-esque interlude, so there's that!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/ChaoslillyCreations)

Did you know jellyfish originally had shells and lost it because of a monkey? Or that if you decide to just lay in bed, you may suddenly become wealthy? Or that golden hair, invisibility and flying stools are all components to finding true love? Or that by kicking a hair brush, a magical honey badger will give you and your siblings a magic garden in exchange for all your clothes pins?One of the previous four sentences was completely made up by editor Scott, but three of them are completely real fairy tales.

Happy Halloween! In this spooky episode, the first of our two-part Halloween extravaganza, your intrepid host, Ariel reads three fairy tales of the folklorish macabre.First, is the dreadfully horrifying "Blue Beard," where a young bride discovers just why her new husband has been a widower so many times.... Next up, "The Goose Girl." Because sentient drops of blood and severed horse heads that speak are so adroit for this time of year. Finally, Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven." A true classic of poetry, and a reading of it you will forget... nevermore.(Editor's Note: all voices in this episode are Ariel Benham. Even the super deep ones)Music featured in this week's episode:"Bach Toccata in D minor for Violin Solo" by Blue Shift.

Why, yes, the name of this episode WILL make sense in context...Ariel, Nick and Ian are here once again to poke fun at all your classic fairy tales! This week, they recap the obscure Japanese story Schippeitaro, which prompts a rousing discussion on why Yaoi mangas make all the men's hands so gosh darn big, and the Indian tale The Snake Prince, which doesn't quite feature the sort of naked men that Ian was hoping for.And to top it all off, for the first time ever, Fairy Tales With Ariel will feature a laugh track!

Welp. Sometimes Fairy Tale characters be straight-up dumb, everybody. This week, our intrepid host Ariel and her two guests, boyfriend Ian and roommate Nick, recount the stories of The Wounded Lion, with its hopelessly dense heroine, and the Six Sillies, with its protagonist potentially being the seventh. In the process, they'll learn why calendars make for great baby name sources, discuss what other group of people use hobo signs, and maybe just... offend an entire language?Give it a listen, and have some fun (at least, before the One Who Ends All Happiness catches up to you... that's also in the episode).Start your own podcast with BuzzsproutFree Delivery on Your First Order Over $35 from InstacartBuy us a coffeeFollow us on InstagramFollow us on FacebookSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/ChaoslillyCreations)

In this exciting tale, he once again embarks with a doomed crew on a doomed ship, but now he's got to deal with giant, rock-throwing birds, angry monkeys whose hysterics are unexpectedly helpful, and a crazy old man who can nimbly balance on helpless travelers' necks as if they were stilts.Start your own podcast with BuzzsproutFree Delivery on Your First Order Over $35 from InstacartBuy us a coffeeFollow us on InstagramFollow us on FacebookSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/ChaoslillyCreations)

Ariel is back, along with the ever-knowledgeable Ian, to give you the strait dope on some Fairy Tales we've covered. There's "Indian Cinderella," who's really not so much "Indian" as "First Nation," and not so much Cinderella as Beauty & the Beast plus cinder burns. Following are three tales of elves, which end more pleasantly than such tales normally do.
