MythoRealm Musings (Jack V. The Giant Realm) 2025-09-07 #MythoRealms #fairytales #jackandthebeanstalk #giants #concepts #fantasy

I picture the dynamic of Blunderbore and Cormoran as a Fred Flintstone to Barney Rubble relationship. (I know that show was based on the Honeymooners, but The Flintstones is where I’ll permanently remember this character dynamic from.) Life-long friends one is loudmouthed and ambitious while the other is good natured and would go along with his schemes. This court case could make or break their friendship.



Jack’s grandpa is revealed to be the late Jack the Giant Killer (The other Jack vs Giants story minus the beanstalk, he died of natural causes before this story), the giants will try to twist the lawsuit into his family being cold-blooded killers to their kind. The giants will act like they are doing the humans a favor by making an example of Jack. The only reason the current Jack never heard of him was because his dad moved his family away in case the giants wanted revenge.



With the info of Jack’s multiple acts of thievery and his family history, the giants will be gunning for the death penalty for Jack and his adoptive mom by proxy by being eaten by the giant plaintiff. When the giants say, “I’ll grind up their bones to make my bread.” They aren’t messing around.



The giants have attempted to live on Earth and make peace with the humans. But humans being humans, they freaked the f out and drove them away. The giants hurt by this decided to cut any beanstalks to their realm to cut ties with the humans. The imps from the war see this as an opportunity to use the giants’ bad history with humans as leverage to get them on their side to guarantee their victory against the fairies. Them joining the imps hinged on the lawsuit. Make the giants think that humanity is inherently bad/evil/weak. Meaning that if the giant won, they’d side with the imps and it’d be game over for the fairies, Jack, humanity, and the Earth.



The salesman will be revealed as a gryphon in a human meat suit. He worked for the fairies in the war but was kidnapped by the imps to be eaten by them. He only agreed to join the imps to save himself from being eaten. Much like how Peter Pettigrew betrayed the Potters to Voldemort to save himself from Voldemort. The salesman stole Jack’s wagon and cow and left him with the beans. Part of the imps’ plan to get the giants on their side. The imps knew they couldn’t beat the giants in a fight so they lied to them about having more power than they really do. Kinda like Hopper from A Bug’s Life where his power pretty much hinged on maintaining the illusion of power. All the imps in the war are low-level demons with not much power. Their end goal was to steal a realm outside of Hell that they can call their own. Using the power of lies and propaganda. Their empire’s built on an unstable foundation. The only reason the imps can hold their own in the war was because the weapons and magic they did have were stolen from other people.


It ends with the giants and Jack putting their differences aside to save the Earth from the reign of the imps. He would receive a pardon from the giants as a thanks for being a hero and would live with Blunderbore moving forward as they cleared things up between each other. I picture the ending of Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Jack’s house inside of the giant’s castle. Jack also has to work in his town to pay back for all his theft as punishment and his golden goose eggs don’t count. (To make sure he actually does his punishment and it sticks.) The kids who took bribes are also there but they don’t have to work as hard or long. Not an unfair punishment, as Jack shouldn’t have been stealing and the kids shouldn’t have taken bribes in the first place. Just because you do one big heroic feat, that doesn’t automatically null your history of wrongdoing. Jack accepts it with humility and dignity.



I’ve written down more stuff. But I’ll save that for another day. I do hope to turn this into something one day. Book, comic, or otherwise. I just wanted to get down on paper how I would do Jack and the Beanstalk. I don’t see this as a story of good and evil, I see it as a story of two people put against each other. Both of whom suck in their own ways and we see them get better throughout the story and unite against a bigger evil. Jack, a chronic thief, dealt a bad hand in life. Blunderbore, a giant that tried to live peacefully on Earth but was rejected by humanity. (Humanity’s rejection of giants is the reason why he eats humans.) In conclusion, this is a courtroom drama that got caught in the middle of a Lord of the Rings movie.



This post WON’T be in the creative commons because I hope to do something with these musings one day.

MythoRealm Musings (Jack V. The Giant Realm) 2025-09-07 #MythoRealms #fairytales #jackandthebeanstalk #giants #concepts #fantasy

It’s been a while since I made another MythoRealm Musings post. Given how I was moving and stuff, I didn’t have the time to make a blog post like this. I got my bluetooth keyboard back and I have something new to bring to the table. This post could be seen as a sequel to the Giants and Kaiju post.



We all know the story of Jack and the Beanstalk, right? A boy and his mom living in financial ruin. The boy is sent to sell their cow for money to get them by. The boy meets a salesman who doesn’t give him an invitation to Squid Game but some magic beans. (If they did get an invitation to the Squid Game, we’d have a Park Yong-sik and Jang Geum-ja situation. Season 3 episode 1 was the saddest episode of the show. Come to think of it, I’d definitely watch an imaginary season of Squid Game where we replace all the humans with fantasy creatures.) He climbs the beanstalk to a giant’s castle, robs him blind and chops the beanstalk causing the giant grievous bodily harm.



I’ve written a concept for a hypothetical adaptation of Jack and the Beanstalk. I KNOW! I know the story’s been adapted more times than we care to count. But it’s such a simple story with so much you can do with it. It’s like Little Red Riding Hood or The Wizard of Oz. A simple story that leaves a lot of room for worldbuilding and lore. I saw Jack the Giant Slayer 2013 on Netflix and thought the film was okay, the giants looked goofy. But that film was enough for me to look into the fairy tales in which the film originated its idea from.



I’ve also had to do multiple Google searches to decide on the time period in which Jack the Giant Killer took place, King Arthur’s reign. King Arthur was 15 when he pulled the sword from the stone. Born in 495 AD/CE, pulled the sword at 510 AD/CE, and died at 565 AD/CE at 70 years old. Keep in mind that these numbers are estimates so they could be off. Early history is pretty murky anyway.



I had the idea that the first half of the story tells the traditional story while the second half flips the script and tells an original story in the form of a courtroom drama. A group of giant knights uproot the town Jack lives in and take them back to the Giant Realm which I decided to make Jotunheimr from Norse Mythology. The giant of the story is suing Jack for 3 counts of robbery, attempted murder, and grievous bodily harm. I haven’t decided on a name for the giant yet. But for this post, I’ll just call him Blunderbore. Jack the Giant Killer reference. I accidentally stole the lawsuit idea from the courtroom scene from Rick and Morty season 1 episode “Meeseeks and Destroy.” Particularly the scene where the giant accidentally slips and kills himself and Rick and Morty were believed to have killed him. They only got off scot-free because a giant lawyer came in and successfully talked them out of prison on a technicality. If you watched Rick and Morty, you might understand where I’m coming from. I still let the courtroom idea stand because it’s just too good to throw away and I picture it at a much larger scale metaphorically and literally. One of those ideas where I forget where I saw it from and unknowingly recreate it.



Jack before he stole from Blunderbore has a history of thievery stealing food from places to help himself and his mom out. (Robin Hood won’t be around for another few centuries.) The other kids in his town only like him because he bribes them with a fraction of what he stole to keep quiet about it. The kids confessed now because their entire town is uprooted and they’re in court. All their parents are understandably mad because they let Jack get away with it and they could’ve prevented this or saw it coming.



I’ve written ideas for twists and turns like the fairy godmother who told Jack about his dead dad’s stolen stuff is actually his biological mother, Jack was sent to live with a human mother to hide him from a war with imps and fairies. Throughout Jack's teen years, he has chronic back pains which are a product of him growing wings in his back before they sprout out at adulthood. Fairy puberty! The only reason he was able to climb that beanstalk was because the fairy godmother cast a spell on him to neutralize the pain from the inner wing growth.



The magic beans were a product of a magician enchanting beans to help food production during a famine somewhere. The magical properties led to the beanstalks being bridges to different realms. Various wizards, witches, and magicians (Jack’s dad included) used them to go to various different realms. Including Jotunheimr.



Jack’s dad was a magician who was accidentally killed by Blunderbore. The giant only stole from him because he was guilty for accidentally killing him and took his body and stuff to make there be no evidence of his death. So Jack’s adoptive mom would resent Jack’s dad for “ditching” her and causing them to fall into financial ruin. But she would later feel like a jerk for hating him when she learns of the freak accident. She also didn’t have a good work ethic to begin with because Jack’s dad would bring back so much gold. I imagine Jack’s dad being portrayed by real world magician and comedian Justin Willman of Netflix’s Magic for Humans and Magic Prank Show.



There’s a giant lawyer working with Jack who’s Blunderbore’s neighbor and childhood friend, he has to decide between a small human he doesn’t know or his childhood friend. I’ll call him Cormoran. This is to give Jack someone to talk to and befriend aside from the fairy and the giant’s wife (the latter of whom turned on Jack because of the beanstalk chopdown). I feel like a supporting cast with Jack is needed because he can’t just think to himself the entire time. Cormoran is the one who teaches Jack that giants aren’t bad or any different from humans outside of size.

Bad News (Century of Sadness)

There's been complications with FireAlpaca SE. I can't open the program, and Steam wouldn't let me use it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling FireAlpaca SE but it just wouldn't work. This is some very bad news for Century of Sadness. I used that for making the comic, now I can't complete the comic through there. I have sketches for several pages done. But the inking and coloring can't be done anymore. But thankfully, Krita still works okay, and it's been a good program for me and has more features than FireAlpaca. I've also been using it the past while to make comics and art.





So, the comic now delayed further. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience. If I didn't have faith in it, I would've cut my losses and moved on. Firealpaca is now rendered unusable. Losing an art program used to make the comic and be enough to cripple production.





All the inking and coloring I did at this point is now down the drain. But thank the gods I still have the sketches, and I exported them before FireAlpaca stopped working for me. So, I don't have to start all over again If I had to, I would've given up on this right then and there. I'm gonna only focus on sketching the comic until all the pages are done moving forward. This'll leave some marks that'll take some time to recover. Pages 5-8 are now officially canceled from being released publicly early until I can sketch all the pages and finish them.





I got 15/52 pages sketches which just adds extra insult to injury.

MythoRealm Musings 2025-05-03 (Of Giants and Kaiju)

I'm gonna deliver some musings and words of stuff from the MythoRealms (comic universe).

Giants and Kaiju exist, they're about as large as a skyscraper, some as massive as mountains. But the bottom line is that they're larger than the average species. Their sizes could be caused by radiation, atomic/nuclear energy (assuming it doesn't kill them first), magic, or genetic abnormalities and/or augmentations.

I had a concept about giants considered too dangerous to continue to be giants. If they do nothing but destroy stuff and cause harm to the normal sized people, they'll be put through a process to make them not as dangerous anymore. By shrinking them to the size of an average person or member of their species. Once shrunk, they can never be giants or kaiju again. They'll even be put onto a list of shrunken giants on a registry like criminals. (Being shrunken is not the same as being a criminal you'd have to go onto two different lists for that, one for being shrunken and so on. At least being shrunken, you can start over and recover from it somewhat.)

Assuming a shrunken giant decided to have offspring, with a normal sized person or otherwise. They'd be either born normal sized or grow to be half-giant. Kinda like Hagrid from Harry Potter.

Say Godzilla exists in the MythoRealms and he gets successfully shrunken down, he'd still be dangerous to be around with the atomic breath and his strength. But he'd be nowhere near as bad as he would be if he were still huge. He'll still retain his nuclear breath and other characteristics, but he'll only be able to use a fraction of it because of his smaller size. Therefore, rendering him not as dangerous.

What if a giant or kaiju were falsely accused of a crime they didn't do and end up getting shrunken before proof of their innocence were presented? The company who shrunk them would be very sorry and unable to return them to their previous size as the shrinking process is only one way. Unless we have Pym Particle tech, there's just no way we can return them to their normal size. But they'll compensate by paying them and giving them benefits and housing as a way of saying sorry for shrinking you.

Come to think of it, Clifford the Big Red Dog if shrunken to a normal sized dog would be okay. But if Emily stops loving him, he'd shrink to about the size of an ant. Good luck not accidentally crushing him. The rest of his life would pretty much hinge on him being loved always. But at least no more buying thousands of dollars' worth of dog food every week or otherwise. How do they get the money to not only support themselves but also a kaiju-sized dog on top of that.

Assuming kaiju and giants have a population and reproduce, how would there be enough room for all of them? My idea is that a wizard, god, or entity capable of bending reality created a realm within Earth for most of the kaiju and giant population to live in. Some would stay in the main mortal realm on Earth, but the vast majority would go to this giant realm where everything is massive to compensate for their large sizes.

Would Kaiju/Giant wrestling exist? I don't see why not, giant monsters and kaiju go at each other's throats time and time again since probably the beginning of time. Survival of the fittest.

I have a list of Kaiju/Giant Monsters to work with. I got the list from scrolling through Reddit's Public Domain subreddit. There's one guy who posts clay sculptures of dinosaurs and giant monsters with the expressed purpose of releasing them into the public domain. MagazineExpert3098 of Reddit makes them, and he's been such a great help for filling up my list of public domain characters to work with.

www.reddit.com/user/MagazineExpert3098/

I feel like I got everything inside of my head out. So, I'm gonna cut the post here. In conclusion, Godzilla would beat King Kong, he has atomic breath and a tough hide. With him, it's practically an open and shut case!

I went and saw #TheDayTheEarthBlewUp and it was amazing! It had heart, it was fun, funny, and it felt like the first #LooneyTunes movie that felt like actual Looney Tunes! #Support2DAnimation and go see it if it’s playing in your local theater! I cried watching it, me crying at a movie in a positive way is the highest amount of praise I can give.

Finally! My first honest to god, finished, flat colors, comic page of Century of Sadness!


Is The Century of Sadness dead? Absolutely not! I finally finished doing the flat colors for pages 1 and 2. It's not 100% finished, I still need to add shading. But aside from that, I got it! Came out of hibernation to do this comic after gods know how long.


50 more pages to go! 6 free to view pages left to complete! The first 8 pages once done will be free to read and all completed pages beyond that will be available on Patreon and Ko-fi. (Now I'm sweating for the pages to come.)
