>>151375491only if you say please
>>151375491>evil entity can't break into your house and has to trick you into letting it inThis trope never made sense to me.
>>151375491Does it have a vag?
>>151375491Would
>>151375491>let monster in>thinks it can kill you>ends up getting raped>wants to be let out but can't escape>you are the monster
>>151377038Probably some sort of cope from people back in the day that thought monsters were actually real that got canonized.
>>151375491
>>151377038Evil that just bowls you over without consideration for your existence is just like a storm and not scary just unfortunate. Evil that is let in by your own actions is a mark against you. It’s an allegory for sin and why vampires and the sort fear the cross, they’re sin incarnate.
>>151377038It makes sense when you notice that wild animals don't have thumbs, and the majority of these stories existed solely to get kids to behave. A scary story about a monster that can't break into your house was just more effective than saying "Close the door so raccoons don't get in."
Lol I was gonna ask what new anal log horror this was from but then I realized it's that slug thing from Owl House innit?I've never seen Owl House so I might be wrong
>>151377038It's a security measure on the monster's behalf, like when Indian scam centers tell the guy with the thickest accent to self-identify as "John Smith of Microsoft." Only a child or an invalid is gonna let the monster in. If you go around breaking into houses just because you can, you're bound to stumble in on a lumberjack or a priest eventually.
>>151379153Yeah it's that cutie

>>151379225How many centuries will it take to live this down? Superpower status?https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7mceb_t8EIs&pp=ygUWZG8gbm90IHJlZGVlbSB0aGUgY2FyZA%3D%3D
>>151375491Is this horse show related?
>>151379522Nope, even cringier
>>151377038It's like vampires where it's a metaphor for letting evil into your life. So if you fall for the tricks of evil (lust, greed, etc.) and "let them in" then bad things happen.
>>151379530I grew to love this fat slug. Best girl.
>>151378532kek
>>151379489>>151379530So what is it? Is it actually a vamp slug that can't enter buildings without permission?
>>151381230It's a shapeshifting basalisk on a reverse isekai adventure as an american kid
>>151377038Weird Birds did it bestFirst when the MC is leaving his doors unlocked a dino nigger immediately is able to sneak in and steal his shitAfter he wises up to that they try luring him out with objects, then move up to using mimicry to try and trick him, and after long enough they simply brute force in anyway>>151381281ok but can it enter buildings without permission?
>>151381916It can but it doesn't because that would be rude.
>>151377038Aside from what everyone else has said, hospitality has historically carried with it a major cultural weight on the part of both host and guest that can reach nigh-religious levels. The monster's transgression of such expectations serves to reinforce its evil nature and separate it from a dangerous beast.
>>151375491If you're cold, they're cold.
>>151375491>Sneaks out the side door, jumps it from the back and fucks the hell out of it. Neighbors see but won't say shit cuz they know that wasn't some normal creature. They've heard it whispering to their children at night.
>>151382843Also a magical thing: magical beings that require permission become basically depowered and vulnerable if they cross a home's threshold without permission.
>>151381916>Weird BirdsIs this some "femboy named "anon"/Ao3 shit?
>>151375491Sure, but wipe your fucking mouth first and come use the front door.You're not coming in through the window, that's retarded.
>>151375491Show me your ratussy.
>>151383532noXwitter ARG of a dude having some dino niggers roll up on his houseIt's pretty neat
>>151375491It looks kind of like Nukie...
>>151377038I think it make for interested storytelling if the monster has a weakness and can't just bulldoze the hero with supernatural powers.
>>151377094It's a shapeshifter.>>151378285In the show, Vee is nearly the size of a leopard seal and way (way) stronger. She's probably around five hundred pounds and can jump using her tail and climb ladders without legs. And one of the first things we see her do is a running jump out a second-story window into a run.>>151379153>that slug thingMostly like a mix of a snake, crocodile, and sea serpent. Think a lindworm (wingless dragon with two legs). She has scales that are smooth and shiny, not slimy.>>151381916>ok but can it enter buildings without permission?Yes. Basilisks are basically story-breakingly overpowered in-universe. It's unclear why the first basilisks to appear didn't eat all magical life to extinction shortly thereafter. Out-of-universe they exist as plot devices to cover some details that would otherwise derail the story.
>>151377038>spending effort breaking in and risking being killed rather than working by subterfuse to disarm your preyLiteral monsters are smarter then you
>>151383845>. It's unclear why the first basilisks to appear didn't eat all magical life to extinction shortly thereafter
>>151384137There don't appear to be any (or weasels) on the Boiling Isles. But at any rate, "basilisks" in the show have very little to do with the basilisks of earth legend.
>>151383969Who do you think invented math? I always knew the numbers were evil.
>>151383625Would like to check this out, but need more than a vague description.
>>151375491No.
>>151384369Weird Birds. That's the title, lolI'm sure you can find a compilation of the posts somewhere and there's more than a few yt vids doing it for youI'm a big bitch and the practical effects he used tap into my specific crippling fear of shit outside my window at night so you'll just have to search it all up yourself because I don't wanna
>>151377038Vampire rules, which are based on old school fae rules, both of which are likely allegories for rules of conduct for european nobility.
