 Most of the fairy tales are ancient folklores & it's hard to trace back to it's original creators. Still I wanted to see which nakshatra natives has contributed to this field.

These German scholars are perhaps the most famous fairy tale collectors of all time. This collection was actually done as a part of their academic work.
Many popular tales reached a wider audience through their collection, including:

⭐Little Red Riding Hood
⭐Hansel and Gretel
⭐Snow White
⭐Sleeping Beauty
⭐The Frog Prince
⭐Rapunzel
This reminds me of wannowing basket symbol of Purva Asadha; separating good from the bad. After going on a journey of gathering knowledge in Mula, at this stage we're "sorting out" the information we've gathered & making it more refined & palatable ♀️
Charles Perrault

Uttara Asadha ☀️♐
Uttara Bhadrapada / Revati🌙
Shravana Ketu

He is sometimes dubbed the "father of fairy tales"
Charles Perrault was a French writer who lived in the 1600s and wrote stories inspired by folk tales. His collection Les Contes de ma Mère l’Oye (Stories of Mother Goose) was very influential
Some tales he is best known for include:
⭐Little Red Riding Hood
⭐Sleeping Beauty
⭐Cinderella**
⭐Bluebeard
⭐Puss in Boots
**His version of Cinderella, for example, is the one English speakers are most familiar with (with the fairy godmother and the pumpkin carriage etc.)
This is so interesting to me that Disney Cinderella was played by a pisces as well similar to Perrault

Hans Christian Andersen

Revati ☀️
Bharani 🌙
Jyestha ⤴️
Punarvasu ketu
Andersen was a Danish fairy tale writer active in the 1800s. His collections of Eventyr (Fairy Tales) contain many beloved and popular fairy tales that have since inspired many adaptations and retellings, and his name is one synonymous with fairy tales.
Famous tales include:

⭐The Little Mermaid 
⭐The Snow Queen
⭐Thumbelina
⭐The Ugly Duckling
⭐The Princess and the Pea
⭐The Steadfast Tin Soldier
⭐The Nightingale
⭐The little match girl

(can you see the revati influence?)
Specially ugly ducking is said to be inspired by his own life. Even after being so widely successful & well known he was never at peace & always felt like an outcaste.(bharani being outcaste nakshatra)
Also this concept of drastic transformation (mermaid to human/ ducking to swan) can be co-related to his Jyestha / Scorpio rising.
many of his works like little mermaid was inspired by his own unrequited love. He has an exalted venus, so unconditional/ unrequited love is a prominent theme.
The nightingale has that "return of the light" theme of punarvasu
Joseph Jacobs

Magha / Purva Phalguni☀️
Swati / Vishaka 🌙
Anuradha Ketu
Joseph Jacobs was an Australian folklorist who published several collections of classic English fairy tales. His collections contain what are now some of the best known versions of famous tales, and were very influential.
Some well-known fairy tales from Jacobs’s Collection:

🐷The Three Little Pigs
🌱Jack and the Bean Stalk
🐻Goldilocks and the three Bears
Anuradha with animal influence keep showing (similar to alice in wonderland)
Jack & the bean stalk seemed more swati to me 🌱🧐 what do you think? qrt
not to mention the wolf was trying to blow off the pigs houses 🌬️
Andrew Lang

Revati ☀️
Magha / Purva Phalguni 🌙
Mrigashira Ketu
His Arabian Nights – a version of the Arabic 1001 Nights collection was particularly influential. It included -

🧞‍♂️Aladdin
🧞‍♂️ The seven voyage of Sindbad
🧞‍♂️The forty Theives
🧞‍♂️ The rat catcher a.k.a pied piper of hamelin
"pied piper" Seems like a mix of his Revati (the magician / rat cather 🎣) & rat yoni 🐀 influence

also voyage of sindbad & forty theives was very Revati as well? 🧐
Another interesting co-relation in disney Aladdin, Jasmin was voiced by a ♓ ☀️ ♌🌙 as well.
Antoine Galland

Revati ☀️
Anuradha / Jyestha 🌙
Shravana Ketu
🧞‍♂️ translated the 1001 Nights collection into French from the original Arabic, and is believed to have invented the popular stories Aladdin and Ali Baba, because they do not appear in original Arabic versions.
So overall both of the writer / collector of Aladdin & Ali baba has Revati ☀️
Gabrielle-Suzanne de Villeneuve

Jyestha ☀️
Mula / Purva Asadha 🌙
Mula Ketu

La Belle et la Bête, which is the oldest known variant of the fairy tale
⭐ Beauty and the Beast.

⭐Alice in Wonderland

Carlo Collodi

Anuradha ☀️
Purva / Uttara Phalguni 🌙
Krittika Ketu

⭐Adventure of Pinocchio
Adeventure of Pinocchio seems very krittika/solar (leo) to me. story of a wooden boy becoming a human. Also his nose becoming longer with each lie 🤥 (he was very lunar initially) but eventually became more solar & honest.
James Mathew Berry

Ashwini ☀️
Purva Asadha 🌙
Pushya ketu

⭐Peter Pan
Berry was played by Jhonny Depp (Purva Asadha 🌙) in "Finding Neverland"

Peter Pan highlights the concept of using imagination as a coping mechanism & healing inner child.
Roger Lancelyn Green

Swati ☀️
Swati/ Chitra🌙
Rohini ketu
⭐King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table
⭐ Adventures of Robin Hood
He has many collection of myths as well.

Robin hood definetly seems very swati / libra to me. Also the choosen one archetype in Arthur with moon influence (rohini ketu)
Marie-Catherine d’Aulnoy
* exact birth date unavilable

Swati Ketu
Bharani Rahu

coined the term “fairy tales” that we now use for the genre
Madame d’Aulnoy was a French countess/baroness and writer who published two fairy tale collections, Les Contes des Fées (Fairy Tales).While her fairy tales don’t tend to be the versions most popular today, she was an influential figure in the history of the genre.
Some tales from the Aulnoy’s collection:

⭐Finette Cendron (a similar tale to Cinderella)
⭐Graciosa and Percinet (a similar tale to Snow White)
⭐The White Cat

Even if we don't have her accurate birth date, white cat seemed very ashlesha to me 🧐

* Initially I was expecting to see more pisces but sagittarius & scorpio influence outnumbered the rest
Now that I think about it most fairy tales features the protagonist in a distressed situation. Lost in a jungle or chaotic place ; no one else to depend on but themselves (reference to 8H/scorpio) also explains the occult references in fairy tales.
eventually coming out of that situation through their own bravery, honesty & hardwork to find "happily ever after" (reference to 9H/ saggitarius) often helped by devine intervention (Jupiter)
Leo & Pisces influence with the element of independence & adventure. Leo is where we begin our "soul searching" (sun=soul). We are on our own with just our inner light to guide us.
Pisces being final stage we have completed our worldy journey & have gathered everything needed to start a other worldly / magical journey (12H / Pisces) full of adventure & uncertainity. Explains the imagination driven nature of fairy tales.
If you want me to add someone to the list just qrt your suggestion ✅

I can feel it in my bones: NaNoWriMo starts soon. If you meant to do some novel planning this month but never quite got around to the planning part, here are a few questions to help you think through your story arc.

These questions are based on Hollywood screenplays, the hero’s journey, and the work of writers who are much smarter than I am—looking at you @RachaelHerron and @LaniDianeRich and @darynda. I didn’t invent any of this.

And, it's totally okay to do no outlining and just wing the whole dang thing! Or do your planning in a wildly different way. But I've found these questions useful. So.

To start, you’ll need a main character. Let’s assume your main character is an orphaned boy whose horrible extended family has forced him to live in a cupboard beneath the stairs. Question #1: What’s missing from your main character’s life?

All of us are missing something. Maybe it’s a feeling of danger or true love or a sense of higher purpose. Maybe it’s a large animatronic penguin that can dispense boba tea through its nostrils. For our orphaned boy, it’s a sense of belonging.

THREAD: How to choose what to write about.

When you're blocked by the lie of "writer's block."

1. First, where I get ideas from:

• I teach others and rewrite the transcriptions into blog posts.

• I capture real stories I tell over dinner. Vulnerable, authentic experiences.

• I find strong opinions (on Twitter) that I disagree with. My counter-argument becomes a post.

Of these ideas, the BEST is whichever I can't not write about.

Which idea, of all those swimming inside your brain, are you compelled to pursue the way Ahab was driven to hunt Moby Dick?
—Steven Pressfield

Here's the two-step framework for finding your "must write" ideas:

My first step is choosing an objective for my article, such as:

I can second this observation through personal experience. I was only able to start writing because "it's just dumb weeb fanfiction quests, who cares." 100,000 pages of dumb weeb fanfic later, and I actually got better... but only because I was trying my best with every page.


"It's dumb weeb fanfiction" gave me permission to be bad, to vomit things onto the page that I knew fell far short of what I wanted it to be. To just write and write instead of laboring over six paragraphs for weeks like I'd always done before.

But I still *wanted* to be good.

Writing is HARD. And unfortunately, most people don't appreciate just how hard writing (or communication in general) is, and that cultural attitude infects writers, too.

You must give yourself permission to be bad. And realize that all writing is practice.

IT. COUNTS.

And as the folks in my mentions are pointing


... it's an excellent way to find out what actually resonates with other people - putting work out there. Even your early bad stuff you'll cringe at later.

What resonates is NOT easy to tell, because we all, inherently cringe at ourselves, a lot.

So here is a secret: Not everything I write goes anywhere. I have at least 4 books completely written and edited that never went on submission. I have books that stalled out at 20k. I have docs on my computer with opening paragraphs I don't remember writing. But! 1/

Every now and then an idea sticks with me like that corner of tortilla chip that just won't go down your throat. It happened with SPARROWHAWK, which began as 40k of a YA story, died, and was reborn as a comic, thanks to @christopher_j_r and @boomstudios. And now... 2/

It's happening with THE WILLOWS, a short story that you'll see in @UncannyMagazine next year. This Southern Gothic horror story began as an attempt to sell my next Romance to @AbZurdity after the Blud books in 2014 or so. And she didn't buy it. Guess why? 3/

Turns out, it wasn't a Romance! It was Southern Gothic Horror. Even the bones of it screamed strangeness, not sexiness. I loved the taste of the world, but I hadn't found the right story yet. Tried to write it 2 more times and failed. Until I finally understood what it was. 4/

So I took the 50 pages I'd written and cut half of them, twisting the story around from a gothy Romance inspired by the band the Civil Wars and turned it into a spooky descent into madness. And it looked back at me from the abyss as if to say, DUH. Sometimes... 5/

THE UNTOLD TALE OF THE LESSER KNOWN WARRIORS:JOGRAJ GURJAR & RAMPYARI GURJAR AND HOW DID THEY DEFEAT THE CRUELEST ISLAMIC INVADER, TIMUR LANG.

Timur Lang, was the founder of Timurid Empire. He was born in April 1336 CE, somewhere in central asia.


During his reign, he conquered Persia, Egypt, Central Asia and emerged as the most powerful and heinous ruler. He was a religious fanatic like the rest of the Islamic invaders who tried to invade India.

Timur Lang decided to invade India in 1398 as he heard about India's splendid wealth and had a desire to conquer India which his ancestor Genghis Khan couldn't do.


After Firoz Shah's demise in1388, Delhi Sultanate was in a state of political turmoil.During this time, Timur sent his grandson Pir Mohammad to attack Indian front. He invaded Multan&was able to defeat Iqbal Khan's brother but when he met with resistance,he asked help from Timur.


Iqbal Khan secured his hold on Delhi under Muhammad Tughluq after Firoz Shah died.
Timur provided the required back-up to his grandson with 100000 men approx. Timur sacked and plundered all the cities coming in his way &later in October 1398 reunited with his grandson.

A brief thread on Jovan Hutton Pulitzer, the crazy con man who is now claiming to have hacked into the Georgia voting machines in Fulton County. 90s kids and tech aficionados might remember Jovan as the inventor of the CueCat, the dumbest gadget of all time.

Also, for anyone who wants to claim that Jovan Hutton Pulitzer (not his given name, but one he changed legally after the CueCat debacle) invented QR Codes: he did not. Like that other right-wing crazy man who claimed to have invented email, Jovan didn’t invent QR Codes.

He did invent the CueCat, a product that somehow raised $185 million dollars for a tethered barcode scanner for magazines and newspapers, so you could get ads from your ads. As I said, the dumbest product of all time. Good backup barcode scanners after they were hacked, however

Oh, that’s another thing. When CueCat was a thing, its systems were hacked. I guess that’s what makes Jovan a security expert. His bankrupt company from 20 years ago was hacked and widely mocked. He’s a genius.

In recent years, Jovan pivoted to being a treasure hunter who was featured on and widely mocked on Curse of Oak Island, because the man is insane.

Oleg Karpov pisze, że gdyby Siergiej Sirotkin zdobył w pierwszej części sezonu więcej punktów od Strolla, to jego kontrakt z automatu zostałby przedłużony na kolejny sezon. Tak się nie stało i Williams ma możliwość szukania innych opcji i to właśnie robi. #F1pl

Czego w artykule brakuje, to informacji, że SMP prawdopodobnie przekazało Williamsowi część środków na sfinansowanie sezonu 2019. W przypadku zakończenia współpracy ekipa z Grove będzie musiała zwrócić te środki. #F1pl

To tłumaczy wysokie kwoty jakich Williams ma oczekiwać za fotel od nowego kierowcy. Jest pewnie próg opłacalności i dopóki nie zostanie osiągnięty, to zmiana z finansowego punktu widzenia nie będzie się zwyczajnie opłacała. #F1pl

The first ever world map was sketched thousands of years ago by Indian saint
“Ramanujacharya” who simply translated the following verse from Mahabharat and gave the world its real face

In Mahabharat,it is described how 'Maharishi Ved Vyasa' gave away his divine vision to Sanjay


Dhritarashtra's charioteer so that he could describe him the events of the upcoming war.

But, even before questions of war could begin, Dhritarashtra asked him to describe how the world looks like from space.

This is how he described the face of the world:

सुदर्शनं प्रवक्ष्यामि द्वीपं तु कुरुनन्दन। परिमण्डलो महाराज द्वीपोऽसौ चक्रसंस्थितः॥
यथा हि पुरुषः पश्येदादर्शे मुखमात्मनः। एवं सुदर्शनद्वीपो दृश्यते चन्द्रमण्डले॥ द्विरंशे पिप्पलस्तत्र द्विरंशे च शशो महान्।

—वेद व्यास, भीष्म पर्व, महाभारत


Meaning:-

हे कुरुनन्दन ! सुदर्शन नामक यह द्वीप चक्र की भाँति गोलाकार स्थित है, जैसे पुरुष दर्पण में अपना मुख देखता है, उसी प्रकार यह द्वीप चन्द्रमण्डल में दिखायी देता है। इसके दो अंशो मे पीपल और दो अंशो मे विशाल शश (खरगोश) दिखायी देता है।


Meaning: "Just like a man sees his face in the mirror, so does the Earth appears in the Universe. In the first part you see leaves of the Peepal Tree, and in the next part you see a Rabbit."

Based on this shloka, Saint Ramanujacharya sketched out the map, but the world laughed
