About this episode
🪲 They're not so different 🪲 One is the king of the world, and the other is a beetle. One wants to fight God, the other wants to wear golden horse shoes. When it comes to being completely arrogant and insufferable, though, they have more in common than you might think. It's two fairy tales of pride and power from Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen. 😈 The Creature: The Elle-folk They're NOT elves. They just look and act like them and have a very similar name but if you say they're elves hope you enjoy your VERY sick cow. --- 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/wicked-king 📖 Source 2 : https://myths.link/beetle ⚠️ Disclaimer: https://myths.link/416 --- 📢 Sponsors Function Health : The first 1,000 get a $100 credit toward their membership.
