Medieval America Fanfic: Tale as old as time
In the new medieval America, if you ask an intellectual or maritime businessman living in New England or close to Canada, what is the world out of the North American continent, especially the Atlantic Ocean, they will give you all kinds of the argument. But if you ask a rural peasant or ordinary citizen, they will definitely answer you categorically: the opposite side of the East Ocean is kingdoms ruled by the descendants of the legendary princesses.
In this land of this time, the most passionate tales recorded by the bards and the few theater actors, besides DC and Marvel Legends, is the Disney Princess legend. In Cincinnati, they told people that there was a place called France in the opposite side of the sea. There was once a princess with a brown hair and reading hobby, ruled kingdom with her once cursed husband.
In Atlanta, they told people that on a peninsula called Scandinavia, there were really two kingdoms that were sometimes hostile: Arendelle and the Southern Isles; and Queen Elsa, who had platinum-blonde hair, finally chose Whoever lives for a lifetime has different opinions-In some stories, she and her sister Anna took the army to the south killed the thirteenth princes of the Southern Isles. She wiped out the threat and finally upgraded to the eternal demigod of the Snow Queen. Some said that the Queen faced the threat of external power, had to cooperate with the Southern Islands, and finally married the thirteenth Prince. The two countries merged relatively peacefully; there are many different versions, but none of them have been widely distributed as the two versions.
For most people, these stories are real history that has happened, not a fictional story. Corresponding to the "Great Epic" about the story of superheroes, the legends of the princesses have been gradually sorted into a collection of stories called "Blue Rose" for hundreds of years. There are very few people who can recite the whole "Blue Rose". Such personnel often claim to be a serious illness and suddenly can recite the whole story. Most people tell these stories according to what they have learned.
Of course, in the official theater sponsored by the republican city-state of the Pacific Northwest, there is still a memory that is most correct for the original story. There are even a few people who know that these stories are just stories of the residents of the southern Hydraulic Empire before the Regression, and know that part of it is pure fiction, and part of it is based on existing stories. But who cares?
There are differences in the stories in different regions, such as the "Tangled" printed by Seattle's EA Company (about the meaning of the combination of the two letters) and "Rapunzel" printed by Jameson and son's printing house in Buffalo on the other side of the North American continent, the story can be different from the life of the heroine Rapunzel. The main thing in common is that Rapunzel finally killed his black-hearted stepmother, escaped from the tower and became the queen.
In areas where Christian patriarchalism is compared, such as the nomads in the middle and the evangelical boundaries, the story of the princess is forcibly linked to the passages in the Bible: for example, Cinderella is moved by the love and loyalty of God to the Almighty Lord bring her into a new life.
In the areas that the US government can influence, the story of Pocahontas has become a particularly important part: all of her stories are linked to the May Flower to the Declaration of Independence, most of which are original in the New Medieval Age.
In the African American-dominated New Orleans, Tiana as the only African American in the princesses, she and her stories have been adapted into voodoo legends and become part of the so-called "local historical memory."
As for the image of the princesses and the princes, they are close to the image that the audience can understand in various depictions. Therefore, the image of the princesses is more like a young lady in a president or a sheriff's family. As for the princes, it is more like a lord wearing armor and robes, instead of wearing a gorgeous military uniform with epaulettes and ankle straps.
New medieval poets and writers have also created stories that allow different princess legends to be connected in series.
Of course, as mentioned above, the stories of different poets, different groups and different publishers are not unified. But it is very difficult for new medieval people to understand different lifestyles. You can't ask them to clarify the remarkable difference between 10th century of Merida's life, the 18th century of Belle's life, and Elsa and Anna's 19th century.
Among the North American continents, especially the feudal cores and the northeastern coastal family, some families will come up with genealogy to prove that they have a bloody relationship with a princess or queen across the sea. In short, from Detroit to New Orleans, from Baltimore to San Francisco, the legend of the princess is not only a story for children, but also few ways of the new medieval Americans to have the access of information about the Old World.
