Fairy Tale with Ariel: Recent Episodes
ChaosLilly Creations
Don't let the sparkly wings and princesses fool you! These are readings of the original fairy tales, in all their uncensored glory, brought to you by an aptly named host with a taste for the spooky side. When not reading the stories themselves, you can listen to her and her friends regale each other to "fairy" funny effect.

If we're talking holes of dicks, we must be talking about Aladdin. Join for our final episode, where our hosts discuss Aladdin and Sleeping Beauty with all the wit and gumption you've come to expect. Thanks for listening!

Well, they each read the stories separately. Now, they get to hash them out together. Ariel chimes in as Nick and Ian relive their tellings of Rumpelstiltsken, and Hansel & Gretel. Wish them luck!

As our little podcast slowly draws to a close (two more episodes after this one), our intrepid hosts recap some heavy hitters. This episode we look at The Ballad of Mulan, Thumbelina, and Jack & the Beanstalk. Amazingly, Hans Christian Anderson's story is not the most upsetting one this time around!

Welcome to our final reading episode; after this, all episodes will be "Fairy Funnies."
For our final story, we've decided to end with a classic: Sleeping Beauty. Come hear the parts that were not in the Disney version (such as the prince's evil ogress mother)!

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?

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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! No need to walk down a single road for three consecutive years; come in and get some tapioca pudding, doncha know.

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.

Happy New Year! This week brings a very special guest alongside hosts Ariel & Nick: Oscar, 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!

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! Merry Christmas!

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.

Welcome, one and all, to another fairy funny recap, continuing the exploits of the worst keepers of horses, the Knights of the Round Table. Cringe at Ian’s perpetuation if his “flesh cup” joke (slurp, slurp), squee at Ariel’s suggestion that every adorable moon lion needs a cute little space helmet (it makes in context), and mourn with us all as the Lance-ahad ship sinks under the ocean due to it being an example of incest (ew). So throw on your favorite hair-shirt borrowed by a gun-toting witch (again, makes sense in context), and wonder aloud with us as we ask, just... WHERE is this story going, exactly?

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!

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. Listen to the episode to find out which is which!

Happy Halloween!
We complete our two-part Halloween special with at least two stories where the bodies of murdered victims rat out their killers, plus another where a prince needed to do a better job of keeping the virus out. And if your editor may say so himself, your host Ariel goes swinging for the fences with a tour-de-force performance reading The Tell-Tale Heart. With added spooky sound effects, this episode is not to be missed!

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)

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! (insert applause here)

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).

We come to you this week with a shortened episode, because even though our professional lives outside of the podcast might get a bit stressful, we still are committed to bringing you all the fairy tale content we can!
Sinbad's voyages are almost complete. 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.

The saga continues! Thrill as Sinbad continues to raise his insurance rates on any ships he owns as he goes on two more adventures, where everyone except him may, or may not, all completely die. Of course the story will never call attention to that, nor how much of a sociopathic streak he shows in these stories, but I will!

Surprise! The editor was ahead of schedule this week.
We are proud to present a Fairly Funny episode... with both Ian AND Nick (and our beloved host, Ariel, of course). Now you can enjoy wells of deep mythic knowledge and waves of strange, witty one-liners all in one episode! (And with the added bonus of not having to hear my voice. Wink)
This week, we recap the Girl With One Hand, and really dig in to... what is corn doing in an African myth, why do way too many fairy tale ingenues ask to receive idealistic gestures instead of tangible gifts from their parents, and who is without a doubt the worst brother in fairy tale folklore?
...also, we do apologize for the audio quality— Trying to record three people with one microphone and without a proper recording studio is really hard, it turns out. (Sighs)

This week we read The Snow Queen! Come learn how a hobgoblin’s broken mirror-shards getting stuck in your eye will cause you to run off to a cold palace with a strange, frigid woman, with your only hope being when your sister regains her memory after crying on a rose, plays relationship therapy with crows, lets a robber princess steal her muff, and puts up with a self-centered, talking reindeer.

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. And finally, we recap The Hero Makoma, whose name means "Greater," (bitch)!
Much cursing, knowledge and humor to be found.

Luckily, there are many laughs to be had as we can't stop talking about bears (wink), fairy tales being like unto Lovecraft, and the healthiness of being a fairy tale doormat. Stay safe everyone, and enjoy!

Due to spikes in Covid and the nature of his job, Ian is unable to join the episode, but luckily, Ariel's roommate Nick is more than happy to fill in and bring the sauce! (Seriously, this episode gets just a tad saucier than normal... which means that it technically qualifies for explicit maybe once or twice)
Here's hoping you laugh as much as our favorite mermaid host, because this episode is a riot.
In other fun behind-the-scenes trivia, editor Scott's young daughter helped her dad a little bit with one section. She even made two edits, all by herself! Her editor father is very proud. (In case you're wondering, said section was NOT when the topic discussed got a bit more adult ;)

Three different stories, three different countries! We're multicultural today!
Once again, editor Scott has the fun of doing the first draft of this episode's paratext so, confident that Ariel will polish it up later, I'm just writing whatever! A jiggy jar jar doo! (See? What. Ever. I. Feel. Like ;)

In a change of pace, Ariel dishes with her Prince Charming, Ian, comedically recalling the tales from our first two episodes with a more... loosy-goosy, improvisational style.
Meanwhile, Scott the editor wonders whatever he did to deserve having to edit audio levels on session where two speakers share one mic. (Ah, let's face it: Scott almost certainly deserves that karma for one reason or another)
Ariel apologizes and will try to get the mic properly adjusted for next time.

This week we explore three unrelated short stories: one where a holder for powdered tobacco gives wishes more often than it gives nicotine boosts, another where a shirt collar hits on all the fine articles of clothing he meets, and yet another that's one half Androcles' Lion, another half Rumpelstiltskin.
And, once again, your puckish editor Scott is the one to toss the word salad before the Ariel the master chef puts on the finishing touches. If you see this before it's erased, just know that I hope that wherever you are, and however you are, you're staying safe and being valued. (I love these small moments we have together, by the way.

Hey people!
This week we've got two versions of Cinderella coming at you - the original Grimm story, and a version about a Native American chief's daughter, whose wicked sisters get turned into trees by the end.
Additionally, three short stories concerning elves as compiled by the Grimm brothers are included in this episode. One concerns a shoemaker, another a Changeling, and the third...well you'll have to find out.
Indian Cinderella was found on Project Guttenberg.
The world is getting wilder and wilder out there. Please, be safe, and take care of each other. Every life matters, and you can't say that while also standing aside and letting mad injustice against a particular demographic happen.
While Scott and I would like to encourage you to donate and support local businesses, artists, neighbours, and causes in need of help in the wake of the pandemic, we've also put together a little "tip jar" on Ko-fi you can drop a few coins into if you'd like to support us.

This week, Ariel's coming at you with the original story of The Three Bears (hint: there's no Goldilocks) and a story from Australia, The Bunyip.
Thanks to my fellow volunteer Admin on a certain fanpage for suggesting The Bunyip, I hope I did it justice.
Also: We're live on Apple Podcasts! Please please please leave a five-star rating and review - it sends my editor into paroxysms of delight when he finds out people like the stuff he's working on.
There are people in 33 different countries that have tuned in so far to Fairy Tale, and as I hope I've communicated, Grimm and Andersen are not the only sources of fairy and folk tales out there. If you have any recommendations, favorites you want to suggest, stories you've not heard before but would like to, please let us know, I would love to do them.
The original version of The Three Bears is found in The Doctor, vol 4, by Robert Southey (1837), and this version of The Bunyip is found in The Brown Fairy Book by Andrew Lang.

This week in honor of the #1 city at the time of recording (and because maybe she's homesick), Ariel's reading the (completely safe) Tale of the Bamboo Cutter (竹取物語), otherwise known as The Tale of Princess Kaguya (かぐや姫の物語).
The oldest manuscript for this story, which starts with an old man finding a three inch tall girl in a stalk of bamboo, is from the 15th century. The story itself, though, supposedly dates back as far as the 10th, and is considered the oldest known Japanese prose narrative.
This is one of the most well known Japanese fairytales, and while many translations and variants exist, the version read here is from Japanese Fairy Tales, compiled and published by Yei Theodora Ozaki in 1903, and found on Project Gutenberg.

Beauty and the Beast in a way you've not heard it before, I'd wager!
This version, which is child-friendly, is found in the Blue Fairy Book, as collected by Andrew Lang, and found on Project Gutenberg.
Thank you to Scott, my editor, and the amazing listeners that have come our way!

No more lapsed weeks. Yay!
This week we have two different Snow White's (are they two different people? Yes, they are. But... are they? Speculate amongst yourselves) go on adventures involving bears, apples, witchcraft, princes, questionable ages of consent and, of course, both villainous and non-villainous dwarves.

An extra-long episode this week! Sorry about disappearing for a week there - work's been a little nuts and if I haven't been trying to meet deadlines I've been dead to the world.
This week we have a bunch of classics, at the request of a number of friends that are having a hard time right now: Stone Soup, an old short folktale about a man teaching people about sharing in hard times; Little Red Riding Hood, who really needs to learn about anesthetics; The Smith & the Devil, who you'd think was used to being lambasted by now; and The Little Mermaid, for whom things don't work out but she tries her best anyway.
The Little Mermaid was written by Hans Christian Andersen.
This retelling of The Smith and The Devil was found at https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/Russian_Folk-Tales/The_Smith_and_the_Devil.
Little Red Riding Hood was collected by the Grimm Brothers.
The retelling of Stone Soup read here was found at https://www.dltk-teach.com/fables/stonesoup/mtale.htm

These next three stories by Hans Christian Andersen are fairy short...I mean, fairly short...(ba dum tissss), and there's still not a girl locked in a tower or a prince in sight.
There is a sparrow, though...and a...pond full of babies? Hans, you okay bro?
Stories by Hans Christian Andersen read to you by Ariel. Audio editing by Scott Hill.

This Ariel isn't actually a mermaid, but she'll gladly read fairy tales to you all day long.
And, well, we're all in quarantine.
Some mad fellow fans of a different podcast said they found Ariel's voice soothing (all the jokes may go here), so, here we are.
Fittingly, we'll be starting with Hans Christian Andersen's series of fairy tales. This time, we have The Emperor's New Clothes, and The Rose-elf.
The Emperor's New Clothes is pretty much what you've always heard - the Rose-elf, less known, is definitely a darker story.
Be warned: not all these stories are child-appropriate.
