Slavic folklore: Bad Heir Day

🪉Ivan fights wizards and monsters and Baba Yaga with a music streaming subscription🪉 What do you get when your daughters have been kidnapped by a sleezy cloud and your son not only spends all of his days jamming with his self-playing harp, but DOESN'T want to tear the heads off his friends?

French stories: Our Son, Ourson, the Bear

🐻Ourson is a Beary Good Guy🐻 Sorry, I couldn't resist, but he is actually a good guy. He isn't a bear though. He just looks like one to people who have probably never seen a bear, because he's kind of just a very hairy kid. He's like that because his mom kicked a toad that wasn't a toad and the toad cursed him. Don't worry, it'll make sense (mostly). 😈 The Creatures: Ga-Gorib A monster who does bad by tempting people into murdering...themselves? --- Links: 📚️ Fictional is back!: https://fictional.fm/subscribe 💬 Discord: https://myths.link/discord 📷️ Instagram: https://myths.link/instagram ✍️ Bluesky: https://myths.link/bluesky 📼 YouTube:https://myths.link/youtube 📖 Source 1: https://myths.link/ourson --- 📢 Sponsors Home Chef: Home Chef is offering my listeners 50% off and free shipping for your first box PLUS free dessert for life!
