You know canonically Anansi is the first spiderman. And I'm not exaggerating, in the spiderverse comics Kwaku Anansi is literally the one who gives the spider men and women their super powers and even has the ability to take it away.
My headcanon is that the Spider-sense is actually a _story_-sense, borrowing Anansi's power over stories to gain an intuitive understanding of the narrative you're in and what the next story beat is likely to be.
I love one particular story of Anansi were he finds a weird looking rock that causes anybody who mentions how weird it is to pass out on the spot so he starts luring his neighbors to come see this rock and making them pass out so he can steal their stuff, until eventually one guy catches on to what Anansi is up to and refuses to acknowledge that the rock is even there causing Anansi to gradually get angry and loudly mention the weird rock which cause him pass out and the guys he stole from steal back their stuff.
4:00: well, to be fair, the whole "True Name" concept originated in Ancient Egypt, but it wasn't because it was magic in the conventional sense; it was because the _Ren_ ("True/ Secret Name") was one of the constituents of a person's soul, alongside their _Ba_ ("Personality"), their _Ka_ ("Life/ Essence"), their _Sheut_ ("Shadow"), and their _Ib_ ("Heart"). These five vital "organs" of a person's soul were often placed in canopic jars during the mummification process so that once they reached the afterlife, they could reunite with them and become a more complete being (since if your body was poorly maintained or you had only a fraction of your soul power, because some robber stole one of your canopic jars, you would not enter the afterlife fully-formed and would be barred from entering it proper, hence why many pharaohs and people being mummified often put curses on anyone trying to rob from them, threatening post-mortem vengeance against would-be thieves).
You should read the credits after red videos, she sometimes puts trivia in it. In the kali video she mention "having nothing but respect for that guy on twitter who described kali as "waifu as f*ck"" . Which made me fall from my chair laughing.
In defense of the Tarrasque's design, while it may be omnivorous, it's not a predator. It can and will eat literally anything that it comes across, including rocks, and its rampage continues until it is sufficiently tired or full enough to get in another power nap. In other words, the Tarrasque is like a giant angry cow and your party of max level adventurers are the snakes that the Tarrasque is stepping on and eating incidentally to get a few more essential nutrients in its diet. Fun Fact: Being fed to a Tarrasque is considered one of the few ways to permanently kill a god in D&D that does not involve the intervention of another deity. This is because anything that enters a Tarrasque's stomach ceases to exist. It is a mystery as to why the Tarrasque's stomach does this, and it also raises the question about whether or not the Tarrasque actually gains sustenance from whatever it eats. It should also be noted that there is a literal planet full of nothing but Tarrasques, and while some worlds do not have any Tarrasques, some do, and it's suggested that the Tarrasque's ability to reappear even after being killed or banished is a sign that there is either more than one Tarrasque on the planet, or that Tarrasques somehow wander from world to world. Prepare for The Great Tarrasque Migration...
I personally like it when people lean into the whole "tarrasque has prey eyes" thing, and use details like that to intentionally foreshadow and even bigger, more terrifying threat (cause let's be real, there are *so many* methods you can find online for cheesing the tarrasque, and if the party has any indication they're going to be fighting a tarrasque before they actually face it, some of those methods don't even nessicarily have to be metagaming).
@@AshDashProductions It depends on who's telling the story. We don't know where they come from, so there might just be at least one Tarrasque on every planet, and the planet of Tarrasques could just be what happens when you get a breeding pair of them.
15:20 One of the campaigns I played, we adopted an awakened shrub we named "Shrubby" - boi swore more than a sailor and had an unholy accent that shifted between British, Irish, Scottish, and Australian and everywhere between. Shrubby was very angry that the people we were chasing had set up camp near his hill, so they agreed to hang out in my backpack (or rather, roots in the backpack) and come with us. We still love our angry little shrub, even so long after the campaign has finished :)
I had a “Shrubby” too! They were an awakened thorn bush that grew through a skeleton we were fighting. They spoke through the skull and live at the back of our inn. I’d feed them fish. 😊
Fun fact about the eye on the side. Crocodiles also has their eyes on the side of their heads, and scientists believes it help them when making an ambush.
Some of the worst collateral damage tends to not be from predators but roided out herbivores like cape buffalo, hippos, kangaroos, and moose... Remember, it's not hunting individuals but destroying cities and worlds.
@@TheArcSet when your that big and powerful, I guess you don't usually have a tough time catching whatever you want. Wonder if it ever eat trees for the fiber.
10:27 Whenever a story has someone being given a quest, Red shows it as questgiver going "Do you want to go on a quest, kid?", to which the response is an excited "Do I!?" 16:41 The classic Tarrasque also has defensive spikes on it's back. You typical see stuff like that on something that is small and easily swallowed whole. My friend created what was basically Super Australiafor one of his campaigns where Tarrasques are a "small prey species".
Anansi saying "Do I?" is a running gag on the OSP channel. Red has a habit of having a drawing in a lot of her videos of a antagonist/villain asking the protagonist/hero some variation of "Hey kid, ya like proving yourself?" And the protagonist/hero responding "Do I!"
7:45 I love that image at the end to Isis being benevolent because Ra’s just like “Guess I was worried for nothing”, especially when set shows up. Also, Anubis waiting on Ra's bed looking at his “watch” like “we doing this or not? I’ve got places to be.” Kali reminds me of the Lovecraftian gods. She’s not good nor is she evil, Kali simply is. A avatar of life, and it’s destroyer, a maddened and sadistic butcher and a loving protector, a peaceful ambience cover and a death metal album cover. Also I love how in the myth where she nearly destroyed the world she literally bursts from Durga’s head like Athena, and then literally kills the antagonist by draining is blood and drinking it all and eating his clones. And when Durga says the fights over and time to go Kali just goes “Leave? ...I just F*cking got here! And I’m far from done, b*tch!” and goes full berserker. Hindu mythology goes hard when it wants too.
Red really loves using a muffled version of "Africa" by Toto in her stuff and due to my unhealthy love for that song, I always adore videos where it comes up.
So what you're essentially saying about your relationship to Toto's Africa is that "It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you" ... I'll get my coat
An alternate version of the story where Kali-Ma fought the demon lord had every drop of his blood would spawn demon clones, although smaller, of him with every drop of his blood she spilled. She quickly figured it out and fashioned a garrote from a a length of chord and strangled him. Then to deal with all of his demon clones that were running around everywhere and causing havoc, she took 8 tigers and turned them into men. She then taught the tigers-turned-men how to kill without spilling blood, then sent them out to slay all the demon cults, the offspring of the tiger-men went on to become the now extinct Thuggee cult.
*The* Trasaque can be _stopped_ but you can't do anything else to the creature that can eat gods. Seriously, please check out the _'What they don't tell you about The Tarasque'._
Fun tip involving shrub monsters, there’s a magic item you can use to create low level ones called “the pot of awakening”. It’s a common rarity, meaning a low level artificer can create 2 per day with infusions. Edit: I severely misremembered how creating magic items with infusions works. You can only have 2 at a time at level 2, and they take a month to work, so you can make a lot fewer than I was thinking, so you’d have to be much more strategic with them to create a good information network. You can also craft them, but you’d need 50 gp and 40 hours of work (this can be split between multiple people though), 25 gp and 20 hours for a level 10+ artificer. Also, they break after the plant awakens, but they don’t actually lose their magical properties, so you can always just cast mending on the pot to reuse it.
10:28 the joke here is the Greek (and apparently Celtic and Norse) trope of "Hey kid, wanna prove yourself?" "Do I!" Which is sort of a running joke with Red/OSP here proving yourself is mentioned so Anansi does the "Do I!" except it doesn't work because he wasn't asked if he would like to prove himself but got told that he would have to prove himself.
14:36 lmao, now THAT is relatable, at least to me. You better get some cord covers soon or your going to have trouble. P.S also, coating your cords in lemon juice.
16:22 Some predators have side facing eyes, including birds and reptiles. As far as I can tell it's either because they are themselves suceptible to be hunted or because they have a trait of some sort that negate the need for front facing eyes (sonar for instance).
It is EXTREMELY common to see Kali both inspiring various character designs AND for her to be horribly misrepresented as just evil or violent. as an example of character design, the fusion of Sugilite and especially Obsidian in Steven Universe bear a very strong resemblance to Kali. If you've ever seen or played it, Asura's Wrath likely counts... MAYBE. Asura's wife is identified as Durga in the story, while there's no apparent Kali analogue, and Asura's role as a destroyer that destroys evil things to save others nicely slots him into a similar role, though its also possible he MIGHT be a more actionized Shiva parallel, but i don't know enough about Shiva to say for sure. Anansi stories are OLD. Extremely old; they might NOT be the very oldest stories in the world, but they probably come pretty close in some respects. A lot of more recent trickster figures such as Br'er Rabbit/Hare are literally transplanted Anansi stories. The clip Red is showing when she goes WATCH AMERICAN GODS is from... well, the first season of the live-aciton adaptation of Neil Gaiman's American Gods, where Anansi (referred to as Aunt Nancy) is a major character. In the book he's a more lighthearted and playful figure, while in the series he's a much harsher and vitriolic person perpetually enraged by the suffering his people have endured; the clip shown is specifically from him appearing to people facing slavery and inciting them to kill their captors and die free. (American Gods features a LOT of different gods and entities; the Norse gods in particular are pretty important, most significantly Odin, though Thor is already dead by the events of the book and series.)
Yes, women wore veils in the Middle Ages. For a good chunk of European History after Jesus, women would cover their hair, with only children and women involved in the oldest profession really letting it flow free. If you are curious about fashion history, I'd recommend Bernadette Banner's videos on Halloween costumes, ranking period dramas, and redesigning book covers.
Also Red only covers like 1 other Hindu god, which was Krishna. This is because, unlike the vast majority of the stories Red covers, Hinduism is still a living religion, and Red doesn't want to offend anyone who practices it.
Sorry if this is off-topic, but have you ever heard of Andrew Chesworth? He's a former Disney animator who, despite mostly working on Disney's CG animated movies, is incredibly talented with hand-drawn 2D animation as well. He recently uploaded a short animation to his TH-cam channel called "The Brave Locomotive", and I think it's worth checking out if you haven't seen it already.
The reason you hadn't heard about the evil topiaries is because those specific versions, known as "Woodlings" are specific to the 3rd edition supplement to the Monster Manual titled, creatively, Monster Manual II. Considering Wizards retired 3rd edition, and the v.3.5 patches, back in 2004 in order to replace it with 4th Edition which, as Puffin has stated, old D&D players hated with a burning passion and I don't think they've been included in anything supplemental for 5th Edition thus far. So if all you have is 5e material...yeah, there are a lot of critters in this vid you won't recognize because they are all from 3e. Good old 3rd edition D&D may have been a bloated mess of variant rules and supplements, but there was some genuinely interesting stuff in there. And, thanks to the Open Game License active at the time for all of that material, home-brewing a setting had never been easier. Do I have copies of all of the books Red showed? Yes, yes I do with some as legally acquired PDFs and the rest as physical book copies. I also recently binge skimmed all the back issues of Dragon Magazine on the Internet Archive and saved all of the articles that looked interesting to read later. I have no self control when it comes to D&D lore. None.

eyes on the side isn't a prey specific thing. if a creature has eyes on the side of their head then it means their evolution favored a wider field of vision, which is why it's on almost every aquatic creature & bird has them
I always love to think the real reason Shiva is married to Parvati and Kali is because Kali fell head over heels for Shiva and nobody tried to stop the marriage despite Shova already being married for fear of what Kali would do to them if they did, and/or the thought of how Kali would handle rejection is a thought not even destroyer of the universe Shiva wants made a reality. I mean she did almost cause the apocalypse because Durga was frustrated, imagine how rejection would end? Vishnu: Aren't you already married? Shiva: Don't you think I know that! Be my guest to go tell her that! Vishnu: No thanks I'm good.
That saint's story makes no sense. Villagers: "Zounds, we had no idea the monster that had been terrorizing us became a Christian. We feel bad for killing *now.* Let us all converted to this religion we apparently were not part of." Seriously, why would they it converted to a *different faith?* Also, I HATE the suggestion of "improving" something by just plain replacing it, like the suggestions of turning D&D's Tarasque by turning into something that is not the strongest wild animal.
1. Yeah that first one is unfortunately ruined by real life stuff. 2. And by proxy allowed fanfiction for both good and bad and Tv Tropes 3. I feel like he's friendshaped and should have been given a chance 4. You're not you when you're godly angry
Nun orders are indeed a bit later of an addition to Christendom, specifically after Constantine's legalization of Christianity in the late Roman Empire. Any actual saint Martha would've been long-dead by then. But (1) this story originates in medieval France, and medieval stories tended to "localize" their conceptions of any and all ancient saints, depicting them with contemporary garb fitting their role in the story, no matter how anachronistic, and (2) headscarves were actually normal clothing for women in the Roman Empire--modern islamic hijabs can trace a direct line of descent from the Roman headscarf, the Palla, and its equivalents around the Mediterranean. Upper-class Romans could get away with wearing elaborate hairdos instead, but wearing your hair down and not covered with a headscarf was seen as a sign of a slave, prostitute, or exotic foreigner in their very patriarchal society. So they would have been accidentally correct by depicting her that way.

Brahman (Cattle) are a Species/Breed of Oxen/Cows that are a Cross Breed of the European Cattle and Zebu (humped cattle native to the Indus River and Ganges River Valleys).
You mean IRL or whatever those are in Fallout?
@@Jfk2Mr That the name for cows in Fallout were inspired by the IRL breed.
As someone who hasn't watched any of the fate series, that description of the fate terrasque scared me a little
Not even a minute in and already goodbye to monetization...
Disney gargoyles was first time i learn of anansi honestly was great cartoon i you able to find a way to watch it believe you may enjoy it,first time i learn of tarrasque was from monster in my pocket a 90's toy line,13:19 so Brer rabbit tar baby trick
It wasn't fussiness it was funzies aka fun also the evil shurbs are ripped off from steven king watch dominic nobles lost in adaption where he compares the shining movies to the shining book
To be honest I mostly know of that Egyptian goddess's name because one of
Power Rangers Wild Force's Megazords is named that.
eyes on the side isn't a prey specific thing. if a creature has eyes on the side of their head then it means their evolution favored a wider field of vision, which is why it's on almost every aquatic creature & bird has them
I always love to think the real reason Shiva is married to Parvati and Kali is because Kali fell head over heels for Shiva and nobody tried to stop the marriage despite Shova already being married for fear of what Kali would do to them if they did, and/or the thought of how Kali would handle rejection is a thought not even destroyer of the universe Shiva wants made a reality. I mean she did almost cause the apocalypse because Durga was frustrated, imagine how rejection would end?
Vishnu: Aren't you already married?
Shiva: Don't you think I know that! Be my guest to go tell her that!
Vishnu: No thanks I'm good.
For a second when they said asuras i hear hashiras and i was confused for a sec
That saint's story makes no sense.
Villagers: "Zounds, we had no idea the monster that had been terrorizing us became a Christian. We feel bad for killing *now.* Let us all converted to this religion we apparently were not part of."
Seriously, why would they it converted to a *different faith?*
Also, I HATE the suggestion of "improving" something by just plain replacing it, like the suggestions of turning D&D's Tarasque by turning into something that is not the strongest wild animal.
1. Yeah that first one is unfortunately ruined by real life stuff.
2. And by proxy allowed fanfiction for both good and bad and Tv Tropes
3. I feel like he's friendshaped and should have been given a chance
4. You're not you when you're godly angry
There is, in fact, an IRL breed of cattle called the American Brahman.
cats, the sharks of the house.
How is the D&D Monster Manual not relatable? I believe that this video comes from the Pre-covid times, so, maybe that?
How are you deciding which videos of these to watch? Since I checked the miscellaneous myth Playlist and the order is not the same.
The Brahman is an actual bread of cow.
Eric Cartman as a verb...
don't own a cat but isn't it something like their whiskers picking up static and their thinking its prey for some reason? Just a question.
Nun orders are indeed a bit later of an addition to Christendom, specifically after Constantine's legalization of Christianity in the late Roman Empire. Any actual saint Martha would've been long-dead by then. But (1) this story originates in medieval France, and medieval stories tended to "localize" their conceptions of any and all ancient saints, depicting them with contemporary garb fitting their role in the story, no matter how anachronistic, and (2) headscarves were actually normal clothing for women in the Roman Empire--modern islamic hijabs can trace a direct line of descent from the Roman headscarf, the Palla, and its equivalents around the Mediterranean. Upper-class Romans could get away with wearing elaborate hairdos instead, but wearing your hair down and not covered with a headscarf was seen as a sign of a slave, prostitute, or exotic foreigner in their very patriarchal society. So they would have been accidentally correct by depicting her that way.
PLEASE take the Dionysus video off members only setting soon. I can’t afford,financially, to become a member so I can’t watch it and I have been waiting for AGES for you to make it.🙏🙏🙏🥺🥺🥺

"She was alive prior to Jesus dying. It's weird to consider her a Saint." -a man who doesn't know how canonization works
Wait, where's Dionysus? 🤔
1:28 please say _Mother of Horus_ three times in a row as fast as possible...
use something smelly that drives the cats away.
Have you reacted to the FGO Memorial Movie 2023 ?
If so I can't find the Video.
If you want to see Red comment about FGO, watch her Gilgamesh video.
Is it just me or does he keep saying "skemeth" instead of Sekmeth?
Fgo’s terasque is much more accurate
