E.C. Myers' Animal Crossing: New Horizons Promotional Reenactments Edit

To celebrate the launch of #FairyTalesOfRemnant in the U.K. (today!) & U.S. (9/15), for the next 12 days I'm sharing reenactments of each story—in #AnimalCrossing And there's a #giveaway too: Like & RT this post and 1 winner gets a signed copy of all 3 of my #RWBY books.^[4]

"The Warrior in the Woods" ...the most enduring, and I think the most inspiring, aspect of this story is one which many have taken to heart: If you can help others, it is your responsibility to do so.

"The Man who Stared at the Sun": The way the story is told may reveal much about the character of the person telling it.

"The Shallow Sea": We must be exposed to the stories of people from all kingdoms and cultures, Humans and Faunus alike, if we hope to make progress in understanding one another.

"The Hunter's Children": When a Creature of Grimm is killed, its body fades like a bad dream, and you would not want to eat one even if you could.

"The Indecisive King": This is just one example of many fairy tales that feature magical items that can help or harm their owners—or maybe both at the same time.

"The Grimm Child": The tragic tale of Poppy and Oak is one of the most well-known in this collection, as it has inspired dozens of horror novels, films, comic books, and even video games.

"The Judgment of Faunus": Many, many years ago, in a faraway land, there was a war between Humans and animals.

"The Infinite Man": I am only a man. Not even a very good one.

"The Two Brothers": There are many versions of our creation story, but the Two Brothers figure in all of them.

"The Story of the Seasons": I grant you magic of your own, mastery over the elements, the very powers of nature. May you use it to aid others just as you have aided me.

"The Girl in the Tower": To me, this tale is also a reminder that the familiar stories we know are just small parts of a larger one—other moments come before 'once upon a time' and still more follow 'happily ever after.'

"The Gift of the Moon": 'You can't put the moon back together' is a well-known phrase that usually means something broken cannot be fixed. However, its original meaning . . . is this: If something cannot be fixed, you should start over.

Staging these #RWBY #FairyTalesOfRemnant x #AnimalCrossing teasers was fun! I know editing #ACNH photos is a thing but I only tweaked one outside the game. (Can you tell which?) Here are all the images together. Thank you to all who have been discussing & reading the book. Enjoy!
