Miscellaneous Myths: Tam Lin

"Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee" being a recurring line always felt like putting on a short skirt and lounging in front of a beau.

I can’t be the only person who thought of tamlin from acotar when I first saw the video

I like to think that the token story was started after Tam Lin romanced a few too many ladies, to try and scare them away. Little did they expect Janet.

"isn't an elf or a farie, he's a human"

I look directly at the camera as I seem to be the only celtic witch left alive that understands the elves and faries were mythologizations of other people, and were thus, just human. Yall let germans and christians destroy your hero worship and mythology.

Was that the nightmare before Christmas theme in the background??

Tamlin 😏😏 the booktok girlies know what I’m talking about

tam lin by the forgetmenauts. thank you for coming to my ted talk

“I do not have daddy issues!”

Yeah, ok nice happy ending there, but are we seriously ignoring the fact that Tam Lin raped any woman who wandered the woods without a ring or cloak?

Any ACOTAR fans who can’t help but cringe when hearing “Tam Lin”?

So Tam Lin's story is basically him pretending to be the villain while in reality he is actually the damsel in distress?

TOOM LOON

What mythology is this from???

Never underestimate a pregnant woman.

oh hey it's the cu chulainn palette swap

I love how romantic this story turned out to be, despite the whole "rape ghost" allegation. Also, I've noticed a trend when there's a story involving saving the one you love, but with certain stipulations, men always tend to "look back" and lose the trial, while women always seem to hang on to their goal coming out victorious in the end.

Thank you so much! This video helped me ALOT in my assigment on "House of Stars"

i saw the name and got punched in the face by repressed ACOTAR plot twists

So there is where all the "I can change him" romance stories came from

"His final form: Tam Li, but naked."
Hmmm. How do I make Tam Lin hotter than literal fire?

Oooh! I love fall!

This is one of my favorite stories you've told

The nightmare before Christmas music, ohhh the utter JOY! I forgot how much I like that movie and autumn in general.

Am i the only ACOTAR fan in these comments 😂

have you read 'An Earthly Knight' Red? its how I was first fully introduced to Tam Lin, and i still love it ^-^

i didn’t realize how similar a court of thorns and roses was to myth. huh

Still confuse why fgo has to change the name to tam lin. Are they suppose to take our virginity???

I'm fine with tam lin gawain then

Oh I've read this story

That’s the Fae for ya

Yay… but still Janet, how are you the first person to do that?

Just got this from my recommended. Funny cuz FGO's Lostbelt 6 came and their Fairy Knights were renamed as "Tam Lin" for NA.

Any FGO player who came here to figure out why they translated Fairy Knight to Tam Lin but is even more confused 🥴??

Watching this after fgo's LB 6 get released

Fgo na people tag in, how many of you showed up just cause of the NA fgo name changes

just want to say: Here since FGO renamed the Fairy Knights to Tam Lin so curious about this

Fgo NA anyone

Is it just me or are the thumbnails for myslanious myths getting progressively more colorful

I like how this is the SECOND time I’ve seen Yahtzee as a euphemism for “the deed” or childbirth on the channel.

Okay, I'm loving that Janet went into those woods looking to punch in her v-card! And, then goes on to save her baby-daddy from his tragic fate, while pregnant! She faced down the Fairie Queen, survived, and got her man! Bonny Janet is living her best life! XD

wait so we don’t get a book, a few short poems, and maybe a cameo for Tam and Janet’s kid???

The version I know specifically notes that Janet ties her green skirt "above the knee and not below", which is probably so she can go about hiking in the rose bushes without destroying her clothes but always gives me the image of Janet in one of those sexy renne fair-esque costumes showing approximately 60% more leg than actual renaissance skirts did.

Especially since green is said to attract the attention of the fey.

you should write poetry with how well that intro went with the description of autumn and halloween

I know I commented this a couple years ago but my name is Tamlin 😅

This is one of my favorite stories particularly because of how you narrate it😄

That’s a twistedly funny story.

I came into your woods, now put your woods into me.

Let me tell you my….

✨tragic backstory✨
