[Snowflake] Recs

[karanguni]

In your own space, post recs for at least three fanworks that you did not create.

Truth be told, I am having a downright awful day, so I'm going to phone this one in with my Yuletide recs and a request that people just... leave a comment and talk about something. Anything.

I do not know this book! Tell me about this book!

omg!!! So, Fox in Socks is my favorite book in the whole world! It is a children's tongue twister book by Dr. Seuss. The premise is there's this Fox (in socks) who's basically tormenting poor Mr. Knox by trying to get him to say all these tongue twisters and Knox is like MY POOR MOUTH CAN'T SAY THAT, NO SIR. MY POOR MOUTH IS MUCH TOO SLOW, SIR. And so on through more and more tongue twisters until the end when THE TABLES ARE TURNED. Anyway the intention of the book is for readers to try to read it aloud, especially kids who are still beginners at reading, because it's both fun and also good practice haha.

I, being long obsessed with this book, may have also OVER-ANALYZED IT in various other ways. Like the not containing any gendered pronouns aside from that one on the cover, which I LOVE. Or also, the content is really rather kinky hahaha. Fox/Knox have this whole unnegotiated D/s dynamic and there is lots of calling each other "sir" and all the forcibly subjecting Knox to tongue twisters and there's other stuff in there like... Spanking and bondage and whatnot haha.

Someone has actually typed up all the text here but as with other Dr. Seuss books it's not really the same without his illustrations! But there you can see how the rhymes go heh.

Also I may have made like. A bunch of fanworks for it over the years lmao. (I used to have several icons for it too but I guess they're deleted at the moment or I would have used them, heh.)
