I love you, media and music based on folklore, mythology, and old stories passed on from generation to generation. I love you, people who take these sorts of things “too seriously” and begin genuinely analysing what’s generally overlooked as a silly story. I love you, people who both romanticise these stories and point out the very real horror that lies in a lot of them. I love you, people who refuse to let the stories and folklore important to their culture fade away, even when for hundreds or even thousands of years people have attempted to erase their history and culture. I love you, people who reclaim their people’s stories and tell them from the mouths of those it originally belonged to. I love yo

Could Princess Kaguya from Japanese mythology kill Macbeth?
Yes, Princess Kaguya from the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter could kill Macbeth!
A celestial princess born from a glowing stalk of bamboo upon it being cut open by a man named Taketori no Okina, she applies for the Gender Clause, Unconventional Birth Clause, and Birth Parent Clause!
Thank you for your submission!

From that day on, Princess Kaguya was like a different person, devoting herself to her studies in pensive silence.
