((Haha but it's boring stuff. And I drew it before Amleth came up. XD So it's not as COOL! But I guess I could add him in there...somehow...it's just boring chibi things. Hah. Not as good as you guys stuff.
And I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! Goodness. That man...that ugly hideous man drawing Red all ugly. She drew her like that on purpose, phsssh just to make me upset.
But I'm not. I'm not, I love it. SO YOU DIDN'T GET YOUR WAY THIS TIME BIG GUY! NOT THIS TIME! FOR ONCE JESSE JAMES IS IN POWER! SO THERE!
Wheeee...I needa shower and get some eggs...and canvas...>>; OH YES and I was showing this to Frank last night...but I thought you all might get a good kick out of this. I was cracking up...it's so...disturbing. I was reading about the story of Little Red Riding Hood on wikipedia...and found this...
Interpretations
Besides the overt warning about talking to strangers, there are many interpretations of the classic fairy tale, many of them sexual.[16] Some are listed below.
Natural cycles
Folklorists and cultural anthropologists such as P. Saintyves and Edward Burnett Tylor saw Little Red Riding Hood in terms of solar myths and other naturally-occurring cycles (though not the cycle of menstruation, mentioned above). Her red hood could represent the bright sun which is ultimately swallowed by the terrible night (the wolf), and the variations in which she is cut out of the wolf's belly represent by it the dawn.[17] In this interpretation, there is a connection between the wolf of this tale and Skoll, the wolf in Norse myth that will swallow the sun at Ragnarök, or Fenris.[18] Alternatively, the tale could be about the season of spring, or the month of May, escaping the winter.[19] This may be as detailed as describing it as the May Queen ritual that represents the coming of Spring, with the crown of flowers replaced by the red hood.[20]
Ritual
The tale has been interpreted as a puberty ritual, stemming from a prehistorical origin (sometimes an origin stemming from a previous matriarchal era.)[21] The girl, leaving home, enters a liminal state and by going through the acts of the tale, is transformed into an adult woman by the act of coming out of the wolf's belly.[22]
Prostitution
One of the more common interpretations refers to a classic warning against becoming a "working girl."[citation needed] This builds off the fundamental "young girl in the woods" stereotype. The red cloak was also a classic signal of a prostitute in 17th century France.[citation needed] A Colombian charity recently used this theme in a poster campaign that showed various fairy tale characters reduced to child labour, including Red Riding Hood as a child prostitute.[23]
Sexual awakening
Red Riding Hood has also been seen as a parable of sexual maturity. In this interpretation, the red cloak symbolizes the blood of the menstrual cycle and the entry into puberty, braving the "dark forest" of womanhood. Or the cloak could symbolize the hymen (earlier versions of the tale generally do not state that the cloak is red--the word "red" in the title may refer to the girl's hair color or a nickname). In this case, the wolf threatens the girl's virginity. The anthropomorphic wolf symbolizes a man, who could be a lover, seducer or sexual predator. This differs from the ritual explanation in that the entry into adulthood is biologically, not socially, determined.
The red hood has often been given great importance in many interpretations, with a signficiance from the dawn to blood. However, the oral version prior to Perrault did not include such a red hood; Perrault introduced it.[24]
Main article: Modern uses and adaptations of Little Red Riding Hood
There have been many modern uses and adaptations of Little Red Riding Hood, generally with a mock-serious reversal of Red Riding Hood's naïveté or some twist of social satire; they range across a number of different media and styles. Multiple variations have been written in the past century, in which authors adapt the Grimms' tale to their own interests.
The tale can be told in terms of Little Red Riding Hood's sexual attractiveness. The 1966 hit song "Lil' Red Riding Hood" by Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs takes the Wolf's point of view, implying that he wants love rather than blood. In the short animated cartoon Red Hot Riding Hood by Tex Avery, the story is recast in an adult-oriented urban setting, with the suave, sharp-dressed Wolf howling after the stripper Red. Avery used the same cast and themes in a subsequent series of cartoons.[25] Allusions to the tale can be more or less overtly sexual, as when the color of a lipstick is advertised as "Riding Hood Red."[26]
This sexual analysis may take the form of rape. In Against Our Will, Susan Brownmiller described the fairy tale as a description of rape.[27] Many revisionist retellings depict Little Red Riding Hood or the grandmother successfully defending herself against the wolf.[28]
It may also take the form of a sexual awakening, as in Angela Carter's "The Company of Wolves" from her collection The Bloody Chamber (1979). (This was also adapted into a film by Neil Jordan.) In it, the awakening inspired by the wolf concludes with the woman herself being transformed into one.[29] Such tellings bear some similarity to the "animal bridegroom" tales, such as Beauty and the Beast or The Frog Prince, but where the heroines of those tales transform the hero into a prince, these tellings of Little Red Riding Hood reveal to the heroine that she has a wild nature like the hero's

((Ala, das' a silly picture. You silly. Did you ever see the picture I put up on DeviantArt?
Lordy, people are way too eager to put naughty meanings to things. DX I swear, I once read a poem that was a tribute to Emily Dickinson, and someone said it was proof of the Oedipus Complex. Pshh.))

XD In Literature class when we have to take meanings and what-not out of stuff I get sick and am like "What the heck? Just read it! You don't have to take every word for some hidden meaning. jeebus." Then again...I'm not a very analytical person. So who knows.
And you know...you don't HAVE to wait on people...just post...unless they TELL you to wait for them cause they'll be gone or something. Ya know?...But you can wait...I'm just being my bossy self. XD ))

And so the Dragon followed him to the village where he knew all three were present. Through the cool of the night traveling through the desert had felt like nothing to the wolf. They had arrived in almost no time, the village erupting unexpectedly in front of them from the sand dunes, but they hung back. Like some sort of taboo they found it hard to cross the line into the village itself. They crept on the edges of the city like a pair of theives.
Lok's eyes cut through the dark, his now again human form creeping warily into the dim light of the village. He gave a few sniffs and looked about himself. There was no one about. Turning around once he beckoned the dragon with a hand and trotted silently towards a homely little building: an inn.
Inside it smelled like home cooked meals and sleepy people, but a few scents stood out to Lok's sensitive nose. He crept carefully through the lobby, keeping to the shadows. There as a woman set up at a desk up front, dozing lightly upon the palms of her hands. Glancing at the woman once he snorted and stole away up a set of stairs to where he was sure was the room where they all were staying.
It was at their door that he stopped. He watched the door as though he might have been able to look through it had he left his eyes on the old wood long enough.
After a moment he fell back a few steps. He had done what he had come to do. It was time for him to leave again.
((TA DAH! SORRY RAINA! MWA!))

((Hahaha...humidity is suckzors. GOSH I wanted to go to the park with my dog today too...and the library...but I was drawing and forgot about that until it was 8 and the library was closed. D: ))
Sally looked to Amleth with a slight grin as he said he boiled someone before. She knew who it had been though and just giggled slightly at the thought of her friend being in a pot with three pigs eating him. Ah, it somehow felt like revenge, but someone else doing it for her. She then frowned as he said he didn't want to be the bad guys.
"Awwww why not?" She said and wiggled a bit on her bed, making a pouting face at the pig. "It'd be FUN! Aren't you tired of just sitting around being the one who gets eaten and blown out of your house? I think we should steal stuff and scare little children." She smirked devilishly and wiggled her fingers as if casting a spell.
"Yeah, scare them good." She leaned back and sighed out with a dreamy tone. She wanted to scare people, but it seemed impossible for her. Everyone had told her she had such a pretty face that it only made others smile and feel good. Maybe if she put on some scary mask. It was always her on the other side being/trying to be scared. Then again she didn't mind that either.
Honestly...she was just happy being away from the story she had lived in for so long. Her thoughts drifted off when Amleth spoke up again and she cast dough brown eyes towards him with a raised brow. "Yeah...I saw that thing. Pretty big huh? I think it's some bean plant or stalk or something. The leaves on it seemed like a bean plant of sorts. But I never knew ANYTHING could grow that big...even trees in my forest haven't grown that big." Excitement swelled in her chest and she sat upright on the bed.
"TOMORROW WE CAN CHECK IT OUT!" A wide, toothy smile spread on her face and she laughed softly. "It'll be an adventure! We can climb it and see where it leads us! Maybe it'll take us to heaven! I've always wanted to see heaven..." She trailed off again as she heard footsteps outside. She stopped and began to move off the bed.
"Hey guys...I think someone's at the door. Maybe it's a new friend! Or maybe it's a big fat witch we can fight!" She jumped off the bed and trotted over to the door, giggling again. She flung it open smiling.
"Good Evening! My name is Sally! Are you wanting to fight or be my best friend ever?!" She opened her squinted eyes and saw the girl before catching Lok in her gaze and he was beginning to walk away. Her smile faltered and she stood still. "Wolf...you brought a friend to visit us?" She asked hopefully but as he continued to move she let out a slight worried yelp and scrambled towards him, grabbing his hand and tugging him towards her. If he thought he could just run off again without her, he was sadly mistaken
"Hey you! Where do you think you're going?! You can't leave again! Not when you just got back! Aren't you hungry or tired? We got an extra bed! You can sleep with us." Her eyes widened with intense worry, mixed with a bit of anger. "Please? Just...don't leave me again. I left with you, you said you'd come with me. Don't leave." She let go of his hand. Her eyes watched him cautiously and she pouted at him childishly. "If you leave, you're taking me with you. Got that, bud?"
((Haha a lot of that was pointless...but whatever. XD ))

((Hahahaha, sorry I haven't pooooosted, like I said I was gonna... I was in the HOPSICLE most of last night, 'cos the stupid emergency room was reeeeally crowded. ANYWAY... I POSTEH YAYS!
Ooooon another note... It is SO STINKING HOT IN HEEEERE. It's hard to be coherent... So, if this doesn't make sense, well.. You know why.))
Percy couldn't help but laugh at Red's enthusiasm. "Exciting would be a day I didn't HAVE to do any of those things... Though the ogres were always a bit fun to deal with... Easily tricked, those creatures are." He rubbed at the side of his face. Just thinking of the many fights with various mythical beasts he had made him weary... Red was lucky. She was only in one major story... And Amleth was in a similar state.
After all, why, in most stories, does one see the prince traveling from a far off land? He's never portrayed in the story as coming from a specific land, or from anywhere at all... He's simply Prince Charming, the hero, the rescuer and wooer of damsels and princesses alike. He always came at the end of the stories, only to be whisked away by the call of another... And sometimes, the constant travel made him feel ages older than he really was. If one looked closely into his deep , captivating eyes, they might see just how worn he really was.
"Do I hate ugly women?" Red's question had snapped him back to the current reality (a word that Dash used very loosely). "No, I hate generic women." he flashed a smile, "All Princesses do is tend to cry and be captured and otherwise rather helpless. Very rarely do I actually get any help from them in my quests, and instead I get a lecture on how clean my boots are, or why I hadn't shown up sooner... Their beauty is something a man would give his life for..." He paused, frowning in thought, "It's the lack of personality that takes all their beauty away..." Yeah, that seemed about right.
"I'm all for being the bad guy every once in a while... What wouldn't give to rub some dirt into one of the princess' faces, or lock them in a tower for someone else to save... But hey, no one would come, would they?" Percy gave a heartbreaking smile. "Because if the good guy's the one that's bad, no one would ever show up."
The man glanced at Amleth, raising his eyebrows upon seeing the man's feet. Very pig-like. It made him give a bit of a chuckle. "I suppose you're right... It was a bit easy... I suppose I'm so used to traveling from story to story that it wasn't anything out of the norm... The problem then, as you've pointed out, might very well lie in the fact that we're not showing up for our parts..." The thoght was somehow frightening. What WOULD happen when he didn't save Rapunzel this time? What if the wolf never showed up to eat the pig that coincidentally, wasn't there to begin with? It made Dash's mind want to unravel.
Disurbing as those thoughts might have been, he stretched and got himself into bed, turning down the nearby lamp. "Perhaps we should all just get some rest... We can see what that plant is tomorrow, Amleth... I'm pretty curious myself..." He didn't mention the foreboding feeling he got when he thought about it. The foreign feeling not knowing the story he was in was a haunting one. In fact, Percy felt just a bit frightened for the first time he could recall.
That feeling was only compounded when he heard the soft shuffiling of feet just outside their door. Red had heard it too, and being quite awake and cheery (must have been something in the plates of food she'd eaten), skipped to the door to greet the person standing outside. Didn't she know she had to be careful in this place? The villagers didn't look like that for their health...
He was quite surprised with Red gave a squeal and dashed outside the door, leaving a very reserved looking woman standing in the doorway. Instantly, Dash knew who she was. He'd slain her countless times, to save the princesses she'd been guarding. It was rare to see her in human form, but he knew her.
And frankly, he had no inclination to pick up his sword at all. The setting was all WRONG for her to show up... Just like the setting had been wrong for ANY of them to show up. Very strange indeed.
"Dragon," He said lightly, giving a nod of his head. He then was hardly surprised (in fact, a smile gleamed on his face) when Red dragged Lok into the room. The wolf seemed as grumpy as ever, but there was something about him that Percy sensed was... relief? "Lok, I thought you'd run off... Sally here thinks you've come back to our misshapen little group..." There was a hopeful, questioning note to his words. There was something about Lok that he felt more familliar with as compared to the other two... Perhaps it was that they flitted from story to story... Always each other's foe... Or something else, maybe. He couldn't place it.
"As she says, we do have an extra bed, and I could give my own should Dragon want to stay as well." Oh, damn that chivalry. A prince he was, but for a DRAGONESS? One that was always his enemy? Well... They WERE trying to start over, right? Right. No more sides, no more grudges. And why not start here and now?
The Prince saw no reason not to.

((It's fine Aka, I told you guys I'd be busy but try to get on the computer. It just so happened that I was too busy to get on the computer and too tired at night to think of a decent post. Twas no problem, I was kinda hoping you'd just drag my character along (whether it be kicking and screaming or not).
I woulda posted last night but the router was being all funny and kept doing weird things to the web pages. I asked Alienz to send you a message for me. Anyway, I have to go look at tires for my car since one is flat and the others need to be replaced before inspection... I shall post when I get back in an hour or so))

Amleth fixed his eyes on his bedsheet and shook his head. "N-no, I don't think it'd be fun. Just because we're not... not doing the same stuff as before, we don't have to switch sides..." He thought that over. Just because they were different didn't mean they had to be complete opposites, did they? He hoped not. He liked these people the way they were.
He frowned. Honestly, nothing about the idea of being bad appealed to him whatsoever. In fact, the thought of it filled him with a sort of disgust. "I didn't like having to deal with bad guys. I knew a lot. I don't think good people deserve to deal with bad guys."
He looked at Dash. "That's why we gotta be good. There are already lots of bad people out there. There aren't enough nice people." He didn't know any princesses, so he had to take Dash's (fairly biased) word for it when he claimed they were a pain. But that didn't mean they deserved to get kidnapped by evil wizards and stuff, did it?
He lay back as Dash considered the idea of what may occur when they didn't fulfill their roles in their own respective stories. The fat man himself was unnerved by the idea of it; he had the creeping sense that something would be less than pleased with their decisions to have a will of their own, and Amleth was not liking the idea of how that something would react. He shivered and pulled the blanket over himself.
The pig didn't hear the approach of their visitors, so when Sally bolted for the door, he was caught off guard. When she flung the door open to reveal an eerie-looking woman, Amleth shrunk down in his sheets. The woman's eyes gave him the willies. She wasn't human.
Sally suddenly darted down the hall, calling something, and Dash nodded to the woman standing in the door. Amleth yelped, looking from the prince to this newcomer. "D-D-Dragon??" He pulled his sheets up over his nose, eyes like saucers. "Y-you're a... er... er... you're..." He allowed a small whimper. What was she doing here? How'd she find them? What...
Sally reappeared, dragging a certain displeased creature behind her. Amleth squeaked again. "Nnnhmmmhh," he managed, wishing he could vanish into the mattress. "Oh dear," he mumbled. "He is a pack animal." He wondered if he must have jynxed it somehow while trying to assure Sally; that was it. Lok was back because of him. Oh dear.
((Bleh. Lots of crap.))

((hahaha I really love Amleth... Sorry that the hour turned into several, you'd think people who WORK at a tire store would know stuff about tires... *grumbles*))
It hadn't taken nearly long enough in her opinion to reach the town, and it had taken an even less desirable amount of time to FIND the people Lok had been talking about. Sure, a part of her wanted to meet them, it would mean that she would be with others also trying to escape. But what if they hated the dragon? What if they couldn't accept her.
The thoughts scarcely had a chance to complete before the door before them burst open and a busy brunette ran out and grabbed Lok. It seemed to her, that these people were more than happy to have him back. She could practically feel a sort of veil lift, though a particularly frightened squeak ruined its complete removal.
From inside the room she heard someone say her 'title' in greeting. However, when her eyes fell upon the person who had spoke, she immediately tensed and her pupils slitted thinly an indication that she felt threatened. But the prince didn't reach for his sword, he didn't yell things at her, he looked relieved to see another of his common enemies, and he offered her his bed? (He looked less than pleased about it though)
Doubts immediately began to surface and quell, instinct fighting what was really going on, telling her to run but her mind saying it was alright. She sighed and managed to relax herself slightly only to hear stuttering words at the other end of the room. She turned to face the one that was producing them only to see a rather pig like man un-successfully hiding and re-appearing under the blankets.
"Yes, a Dragon." She sighed and moved into the room, more to get out of the way of the young brunette and Lok's tugging match than anything else. "I met Lok in the desert, he said he knew people trying to abandon their stories as well..." she spoke, trailing off. What else was she supposed to say? Allow a dragon to stay in their group, the prince seemed willing to deal with it (in her opinion it was only because he knew he could slay her) but the others surely wouldn't.
((hahaha sorry if it's crap, I'm running about, just a week left before I leave >.<))

((Okay! MY TURN AGAIN! SUPER! AWESOME! ALLLRIGHT! Let's see if I can get something coherent out!))
Lok was not quite as sneaky as he thought he was or perhaps, he thought as he cursed under his breath, that he had lost his touch. He was a wolf for god sakes; a prowler. It was part of his life's work to be quiet and useen.. until of course he leapt out at his helpless victims and ripped them limb from bloody limb, but Sally, oh Sally, she had heard him (probably used to the light sound of his feet), or maybe the Dragon had given him away.
Either way, he still tried to leave and to dart away into the shadows where he knew for sure he'd be safe, but Sally had always been rather quick. Giving a rather funny sort of yelp she sped forward, one of her hands gripping one his clawed ones. He froze, quite unsure of this sudden movement and why he didn't mind it so much. For a moment he could only look at her, a slightly confused look on his face and his head tilted in very confused canine like way. Though, of course anything he liked he quickly disliked and he showed his disgust of this hand holding by snarling an ugly snarl.
"What is it you want?" He said in a voice that wasn't half as angry as he felt. He tugged at his hand, maybe only half heartedly, as though he hoped she'd take him back, give him a reason to say. Maybe he hoped he would forgive him for being what he was.
When she spoke he flattened his ears and narrowed his mouth into a firm line. "What? Now you want me to stay?" He demanded, casting his eyes about the room as he was pulled inside. Wasn't that just what he wanted to hear? He hated that.
He glared at each individual in turn then back to Sally as she released his hand. She was watching him, as though he might bolt, and he sure felt like doing just that, but somehow he found his feet planted firmly. He glared at her for a long spread of time. "Oh goddamnit! I really am stuck with you aren't I?" He seethed while clenching his fists. He hated the fact he didn't hate that idea and he hated the fact that he never quite felt so relieved to know that maybe he didn't really HAVE to be alone.
He then cast a look at the prince, a dark look full of half hearted loathing. He had never felt so needed before. "Shut your yap, Percy. I'll stick around for awhile.. then maybe I'll leave again." But maybe he wouldn't.
Looking at the pig he smiled a smile that seemed to show off his teeth, and just how big and numerous they were. His golden eyes flashed wickedly at his discomfort. "Come to think of it... I am a litle hungry." He said, running his tounge over his lips.
Lok then looked over his shoulder at his dragon companaion and frowned. "But if I stay, she stays too. All you goody goodys make me SICK." He nodded at the dragoness curtly and flashed her a brief smile that was mostly a grimance.

Sally watched Lok's face. Her eyes never leaving his, a staring match per say. Wolves loved staring people down...she was used to holding his stare longer to prove her point. The doughy drops of her eyes were framed perfectly by her long lashes, only making them look even more determined and sad, almost as if she were an abandoned puppy. When the wolf responded with her NOW wanting him to say she looked some-what hurt. She had always wanted him to stay. She wasn't going to say anything though. He never seemed to care to try to understand how she felt, ever, why try to explain herself now?
She furrowed her brows a bit and let him glare around like a spoiled child before snatching her eyes again, she held his stare just as she had before, putting her fists on her hips to make the stare even more dramatic. When he finally agreed, in his own angry way, and dropped the staring match she smiled widely. She gave a delighted little squeal and wiggled her body slightly before hugging him.
"I'M SO HAPPY!" She said loudly, squeezing him around the chest in a bear hug before letting go and prancing over to her bed. "YAY! I knew you'd come back for me! I KNEW it! Didn't I know it Amleth? I told you guys he'd come back!" She seemed extremely excited as she grabbed Amleth's hands and shook them around, grinning madly at him. "Our best friends are all together now! Now we can do on adventures and not be so dark and sad and depressed! It'll be so much fun!" She went about doing a bit of what appeared like a potty dance before falling to the ground and reaching under her bed as Lok began talking again.
"Oh don't worry Sparky." She said, suddenly a bit more calm. She pulled out from the bed, basket in hand. "I asked the cooks to make an extra dinner for a friend of mine. I knew you'd be hungry." She smiled up at him as she shoved herself off the floor and snatched out something wrapped in tin-foil. She placed it in Lok's hands, grinning still, appearing as if she would explode with excitement.
"It's a steak, I told them to cook it rare, and it looks pretty red to me. I figured you'd like it like that. You never do cook things." She finally threw her attention over to the dragon with curiosity.
"Ooooh a new friend? Are you staying with us to?! Now I get a girl friend! I WAS getting a bit tired of being around a bunch of boys all the time." She made her way over to the woman and rested an arm around her shoulders, patting her slightly. "My name's Red...though I prefer being called Sally. After all, we are running AWAY from our stories. Sally makes me feel less restricted to my role." She nodded wisely and leaned in closer.
"How about you? What's your name? I'm sure you don't like being called Dragon." She paused and her face lit up a bit, glancing to her new friend's back. "Does that mean you can fly?! You know what?! Tomorrow we're going on an adventure to that bean stalk. Maybe instead of climbing you could fly us up there! That'd be so amazing! I've never flown anywhere. I never even left the ground before except climbing trees and stuff. Oooooh that'd be so NEAT, flying...I bet it feels wonderful!" She let go of the woman and looked around.
"I don't want anyone sleeping on the floor...so maybe us girls should share a bed together! I don't mind! It'd be like a sleep-over. Anyways it'd make me uncomfortable knowing I was in a bed while someone else wasn't." She rubbed a hand over her freckled face and began to pull off her knee-high socks, which by now had slipped and crumpled around her ankles. "How about it? I'm skinny enough to leave you room. Not sure that's a good thing...even if I did grow boobs...I still feel gangly or what-ever. But I guess that's just from feeling that way for ever since I can remember."
This was the best night in her entire life. Her best friend ever had returned, making their awesome group complete. And now she finally had a girl friend, someone who could understand her a bit more than the guys would. This, in Sally's eye, was as best as she had dreamed of. She only wished to get out of the forest with Lok and show him just how different they could be, now they had a bunch of new friends to join him.
This would be the best time of her life, she was sure of it.
((Hahaha...such the optimist.))
