ARABIAN NIGHTS & ARABIAN NIGHTS – TRADITIONAL TALES FROM A THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHTS, CONTEMPORARY TALES FOR ADULTS Author: Clive Johnson #bookdescription This innovative book offers retellings of a selection of tales that have captured the imaginations of countless people over many centuries. Accompanying each is a contemporary short story that reframes the messages and teachings of the original, specifically written for an adult audience. Here are stories of betrayal and murder, exploitation and sibling rivalry, soul-searching and discovery. The modern parallel tales swap the busy alleyways of old Baghdad for the horror of Saddam's prisons, move from following caravans sweeping across the Sahara to modern day pilgrims trekking along the Caminos of northern Spain, and lift Aladdin out of his cave to unwittingly face Triad gangsters and antiques smugglers. Wayward Baptist ministers, adulterous accountants, and eco-warrior backpackers follow in the footsteps of the no-less colourful characters than those that feature in the original tales. #bookreview #link : http://ohmybooknessreviewfolklorefairytales.blogspot.com/2016/10/book-review-from-oh-my-bookness-of.html?m=1 #bookshop #bookstore #books #BookBoost #blog #blogger #blogging #bookstagram #readstagram #reads #readers #readersofinstagram #folktales #folktale #folklore #aladdin #arabiannights #arabiannight #yafiction #adultfiction #booklove #lovetoread #fiction #library #classictales #reimagined #moderntale

So my girlfriend and I like to role-play a lot on our phones at night, whether she's away at school or sleeping beside me. It helps get us to sleep since we both have so pretty wild anxiety. When we both got into Undertale we started casually role-playing the different characters and over time it shifted into a really cool AU I thought I'd share. Fair warning. It's long. So CityTale or alternatively ModernTale is an alternative universe where the monsters were never exactly pushed Underground in the war. In fact, there wasn't really a war at all in the formal sense. However since monsters face severe discrimination from a slight majority of humans, they all sort of migrated into this one, over crowded, dystopian city which is called "The Underground". (I know. Original.) Not that The Underground doesn't have a human population, because it does. The humans that live in The Underground are either Highly-Tolerant of Monsters or incredibly poor without much choice over their living situation. Magic still exists in this world. I'm going to try and briefly explain all the characters and their established attributes. If you like this au and want to change things in it, I give you full artistic liberty. Just be sure to give credit where it's due. ...Or don't, but I'll be sad if you don't. CHARACTERS Frisk: A fifteen year old non-binary child who struggles with a neurological condition known as Pseudo Bulbar Affect (unprompted episodes of uncontrollable laughter or crying). They were an emancipated minor who lived alone in a run down apartment for a short period of time before being adopted by their long time social worker, Papyrus Aster. Before this time Frisk had a very difficult life that they refuse to talk about. Often the subject will cause them to enter a period of selective mutisim. They have scars down their arms and torso. Frisk is a fairly positive and kind individual that studies dance of the contemporary and ballet variety. They can be very immature at times and a bit of a brat, but they have a good heart and genuinely care for the people in their life. They're into fairy-kei style fashion. (NOTE: (in canon) After an incident involving asphyxia due to a PBA episode at Chara's house Frisk developed a hypoxic anoxic brain injury resulting in numerous cognitive issues such as Ataxia: jerky muscle movement Apraxia: inability to remember muscle movements involved in basic tasks such as eating with utensils, brushing teeth, etc. Anomia: difficultly with words or language Amnesia And short term memory loss All of these side effects do eventually recede over time but I thought it was worth noting. Particularly with memory Frisk at times would wake up with varying sets of memories. (sorta like save states) For example sometimes Frisk remembers only things after the incident, only things before the incident, both after and before the incident, or neither before or after.) Chara: The sixteen year old adopted child of Toriel and Asgore Dreemurr. Chara has been in and out of mental institutions all their life and has been bounced from social worker to social worker due to their destructive and unpredictable behavior. Chara suffers from many mental illnesses, the two most prominent being psychosis and childhood schizophrenia. To many, Chara is a lost cause. Constantly plagued with both suicidal and homicidal thoughts and responsible for the death of their brother Asriel, Chara can never seem to get a break from all the noise in their head. When calm, Chara can actually be quite charming and charismatic, though somewhat socially inept in regard to considering the feelings of others. They used to be a student in their mother's dance studio but is no longer trusted to dance without hurting themselves or others. Now they just sit and watch on the sidelines. It's said they were once a master of the craft. Chara over time becomes very close with Frisk to the point of developing a crush. (NOTE: Chara is incredibly guilty over Frisk's hypoxic anoxic injury since they were there to see it happen.) Papyrus: A young social worker known for his work with particularly troubled cases. He's also one of the few people with an able understanding of both human and monster psychology. He works cases of all shapes and sizes. After falling for a particularly special case named Frisk, he and his older brother/housemate Sans adopt them with open arms. Papyrus is outwardly confident and highly opinionated while still maintaining a pure and innocent kindness reminiscent of that of a child. He lives to help people and refuses to give up on a case, even if it runs him into the ground. Papyrus in the past has worked with Chara but after a near death experience and a catastrophic fight with his brother, he agreed to drop the case. Papyrus is in a long distance relationship with the pop icon Mettaton. They often text each other with lots of adorable emojis and support or advice when needed. Sans: A quarter-life-crisis-suffering college dropout that often works odd jobs, first to fund his brother's career and later to reel in a little extra pocket money for their family's newest addition. Initially Sans was a promising astro-physics major but after their father passed away Sans gave up his dream so Papyrus could pursue his. Sans is incredibly protective of both Frisk and Papyrus which essentially means that Sans has zero tolerance for Chara, sick or not. If it wasn't for Sans, Papyrus might have died in an incident where Chara suffered a severe psychotic episode. Sans can often come off as spacey and apathetic when in reality he suffers from chronic depression. He tends to avoid his problems rather than face them which puts a heavy strain on his relationship with Papyrus. He has a high appreciation for puns. Especially the ones that make people groan after being told. Sans has a close relationship with Toriel. I don't know yet if we'll be shipping them or not. Toriel: A woman in her mid thirties though she constantly insists she's old (mostly because she feels older than she looks) the former wife of mayor Asgore, Toriel lives out her days alone in her apartment above her dance studio. She's a dance teacher who's specialized with children and thoroughly enjoys every second of her work. She and Asgore separated after the death of their biological son Asriel due to disagreement on how to care for their adopted child, Chara. Toriel firmly believes that although she loves Chara with all her heart, they cannot properly provide for their child without institutional help. Toriel also tends to fixate on the fact that after Asriel's birth, she was deemed barren and therefore has an overwhelming lack of sense of self worth. She also has doubts about her parental abilities. She has a very close relationship with both Frisk and Sans. Asgore: The mayor of The Underground, that lives out his life in modesty as the owner of a little tea shop. He uses the tea shop for community meetings. He's also one of the few people that hasn't given up on Chara entirely, but in the back of his mind he knows that there need to be major changes if Chara is ever going to function as an independent adult. He misses his wife, but realizes that their relationship is more than likely broken beyond repair. He and Papyrus are incredibly close and he often turns to the younger individual for domestic advice. Mettaton: Formerly known as Hapstablook, Mettaton is a ghost gone corporeal with the help of Dr. Alphys. He started his career off as a casual club singer and a vocalist for his cousin Napstablook. After gaining recognition for his uniqueness, general good looks, and stage presence, he went on to become a well received popstar. He continues to work with Napstablook to produce his music and is an all around confident, yet considerate individual. He's in a long distance relationship with Papyrus that he's very committed to and often compensates for his naivety. Alphys: Alphys is a triple major mechanical, computer, electrcial engineering graduate student, with a minor in biology, working towards her Phd. Mettaton's body was actually her thesis project, a machine that was able to fully integrate with a soul. Addicted to social media, Netflix, and her work, Alphys rarely ever leaves her dorm with the exception of going to classes and her school's anime club. She met her current roommate and totally-not-a-secret crush through the club. Alphys is shy, but kindhearted, and really bad at taking care of herself. It's been said that she's been seen on the engineering and Tech building roof on campus, just staring down at the ground. Undyne: In a word, intense. Undyne is a undergraduate student working toward her goal of being thE BEST PERSONAL TRAINER EVER AHHHH! She works at the local gym and sometimes picks up a shift or two at Asgore's cafe to help make ends meet. Undyne is the president of her School's anime club AND HAS HAD PEOPLE BET ON HOW MUCH SHE CAN LIFT TO RAISE MONEY FOR ANIME BECAUSE SHE'S SUGOI AS FUCK. When in her dorm she often preoccupies herself with trying to get Alphys to work out with her or eat healthier. She also prides herself in her cooking skills but it's best to note that on campus Undyne is not allowed within 30ft of a microwave. Undyne is brimming with confidence and bravery and wants to help others achieve the same level of awesomeness. She also really likes visual-kei on the down low. Napstablook: Well blooky is obviously an aspiring dj, but because he's a ghost and generally shy, he prefers to produce music for his cousin Habstablook to sing to. that way he gets his music out there, but he doesn't have to deal with being popular. He's sweet, but very introverted and lacking in self confidence. Some might argue that he's also depressive, but when his cousin comes home from touring he tends to considerably lighten up. Blooky lives in the same apartment complex as his cousin, only a few doors down. He also secretly is into fashion and occasionally designs stage costumes for Mettaton. Maddox: Also affectionately referred to as "Mad Dummy" Maddox is another cousin to both Napstablook and Mettaton who also lives in the same apartment. He works in the field of demolition and is generally a little bit on the nutty side. He cares for both his cousins deeply. Gaster: An awful person. Gaster was a theoretical scientist who was considered a prodigy in numerous fields of study. Also incredibly gifted in magic. He was known for his moral ambiguity and twisted methodology. He created Sans and Papyrus as test subjects, often using them to further his research with little to no concern for the fact that they were sentient. Manipulative and cunning, Gaster was even able to convince them that what he was doing was normal and that their "punishments" were deserved. Gaster died after one of his experiments ended in catastrophe. This incident also left sans blind in his right eye and unable to use it for magic. So yeah! More characters to come! Feel free to request!
