Some fanart I made based on @capt-t-leela's fic, An Old Inhabitant of Earth :))
I kinda did a parallel between past Leela and present Leela? I don't know if that makes sense but whatever lol. The outfit she's wearing on the right is inspired by the one she wore to that zoo/resort thing when she was with Sean
Link to fic: An Old Inhabitant of Earth
hey if you read this fic and came from this link will you please tell me in the comments?
Me waiting for one of the three fics featuring my rarepair to update. It's been three whole months. It's gonna remain unfinished and I will starve.
How to give your rare pair writer extra kudos.
yes, I saw. no, I'm not excited.
I love it when women are unapologetically horny perverts
please know that if I use 'bro' or 'gurl' (with a u) both are inherently gender neutral to me.
I disagree but I also don't respect your opinion

Perry Index number 373; Or Folklore in Futurama
"It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long, the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. But then the winter came and the grasshopper died. And the octopus ate all his acorns and also he got a race car." -Soon to be Emperor of Trisol, Philip J. Fry
Fry's deranged rant in My Three Suns is a play on classic folktale of The Ant and the Grasshopper. The tale itself is a cautionary tale wherein the ants work hard all summer to collect food to prepare for winter, but the grasshoppers spend their whole summer singing (and enjoying themselves tbh) and have no food stored for winter time. Then the grasshoppers beg for the ant's mercy and help so that they don't starve.
In good Fry fashion, he completely mangles everything about the story and its message. Also, shoutout to how much Fry has grown since he first got to the future because he's being a little shit in this part of the episode. Surely our favorite guy wouldn't not be mooching off of his girlfriend and wasting away these days. I digress. I will admit his hairhorn is cute under his crown.
DESERVED. Hell yeah, left-handed cross. get his ass, Leela.
The Ant and the Grasshopper is a tale that dates all the back to Ancient Greece - specifically to Aesop. The first written record we have of this story is from 1484 CE (Common Era, this is what is used now instead of AD).
Here's something a little more interesting, imho. Folklore has such consistently common themes and stories across the world and vastly different cultures. The stories have variations, but the themes and main points are so innately human that people who study folklore have been able to group the worldwide tales by general themes and categorize them accordingly. Part of this is due to the stories traveling by word of mouth throughout the lands - like a big ancient game of telephone, the stories get their own flavors as they get passed around and then eventually recorded.
There are a lot of folktales attributed to Aesop..a lot. Not all of them are his! Some stories attributed to him precede him by 1,000 years. One of the main taxonomic methods for Aesop's fables is The Perry Index. The Perry Index groups all of the known stories that have been recorded by major themes and lessons. There are 725 Perry Classifications for fables attributed to Aesop. 725!!!
The Ant and the Grasshopper is Number 373. You can read a collection of 373 fables here. If you do go read those fables, you might recognize another name who I've talked about in these #Lit With Leela posts - Ambrose Bierce, who wrote An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, you can read in full here, which is the short story that inspired Bender's journey in Obsoletely Fabulous. You can read my post about that here.
