Sun, Moon, and Tahlia

All four Sleeping Beauty stories have one thing in common, Sleeping Beauty always makes you so interested in the story no matter what.In Sun, Moon, and Talia, the story takes place in a country house. Talia gets raped by a king who finds her in the country house and she gives birth to two beautiful children named Sun and Moon.

In that story it was very different, very unique to me, something i have never read before and not quite child friendly especially from the start. It is well written but like most fairy tales it is always “happy ever ending”.

A deeper look into each fairy tale’s history reveals an original piece of writing that explores different life lessons to those perceived by modern society, often through gruesome and seemingly horrific tales.

Fairy tales hold a unique magic because they are able to mature, to change, and to become key to each generation. In the time of the tales of the Grimm Brothers were created, people lived in fear of magic and witches.

Fairy tales live in the minds from teller and from heares, growing and changing with each telling. The same tales told hundreds years ago still live in the minds of today.

life lessons to those perceived by modern society, often through gruesome and seemingly horrific tales always refer back to the current world that you remember or relate to these old stories.

As they conversed, they both realized they were forming a stronger bond of friendship and love”

Just LOL.

King: “oh hey, you’re awake! Cool! So, you’re probably wondering why your genitals are all beat up and you have two screeching brats stuck to you. Well, funny story, I happened by, thought you were hot, and helped myself to your unconscious body! I know, right? I’m actually here now because I was feeling frisky and fancied another go. Isn’t that hilarious??”

Talia:”Oh, thank you thank you thank you! I love you! MWAH!”

This is so messed up. For real.

It’s almost like the fairy tales meant to foreshadow our current world.

She passes new laws that give women equality and makes a rape (regardless of gender) a death penalty offense with the added bonus of a humiliating statue to stand to their crime forever.. with a fair trial of course.. and rules a prosperous kingdom into her old age when she steps down, passing rule jointly to her son and daughter creating a rich tradition of gender balanced rule. Over time the kingdom reaches a balance in its populace that allows every person to excel based on their merits rather than any gender, or race etc. The king goes down in history as a museum piece dedicated to ending rape, molestation, pedophilia etc regardless of who commited the crime!

The 16th century was jacked up anyway because this story actually made more sense to them back then when there were no woman’s rights.

They are not , they are more like nightmare or horror tales Similarly here what happens to Sleeping Beauty being raped while unconscious (a similar case in USA that happened this year in a University Campus caused a justifiable uproar and imprisonment), in the 17th century there were different morals and this was seen almost divine. Remember at that time Kings were seen as being bestowed with earthly power by God having divine right that justified the king’s absolute authority in both political and spiritual matters. Moreover this parallels the story in the bible where Mary became pregnant by the Holy Spirit. This is seen as a blessing. In similar vein, the rape mentioned in this story was seen actually as a blessing since it was performed by a king. Hence the words used making love.

When he returns, he finds that Talia has given birth to twins, named Sun and Moon. The story doesn't just talk about what is in effect non-consensual sex, there's also attempted cannibalism. When the king’s wife (yes he's also married) finds out about Talia and her children, she plots to have Sun and Moon killed, cooked in a variety of dishes and served to her husband as revenge (you can breathe easy — her plans are foiled).
