It was a wonderful journey taking Folk Literature class this semester! I bet most of us saw movies like Cinderella, Little Mermaid, or Rapunzel but according to Hollywood’ style. However, we’ve learned more about them and others stories.

@TBarnette94 I agree! It was a good topic to engage the entire class since most of us have heard of him. #F470
everyone's tweeting about their essays for this class and im....uh...frantically writing two other essays??? Haven't gotten to this one yet; I hope it's a fun prompt #F470
@TBarnette94 So do you think that he's gonna live on as an urban folklore in the foreseeable future? I thought after the hype of Slender he was pretty much gone, but I guess not. #F470
Clowns with silly costumes and face paint from last week, and an abnormally tall no-faced being in a suit for this week. In my opinion, I prefer killers to have a face I can see. I guess it's scarier because you can't tell what's under the surface. #F470
When Slenderman started popping off in popularity, I only knew the most basic of information about him. I didn't know he had specific proxies, so the 12 year old girls wanting to be his proxies was a surprise to me. #F470
I think the Slenderman craze bringing people together to form an online community was pretty rad; the "sense of community" that we discussed before in class when it comes to folklore. #F470
After reading the discussion posts I realize there's other "modern" urban legends that have come up in the recent years I think of urban legends I think of things from decades ago at the earliest. #F470
An essay about the academic job market. Very fine writing. My folklore students may find it interesting. As might my graduate students. #F470 #CL727 #Fairytales #academia @neilphilipmyth

@josephsdsu thanks for a great semester, and for adapting your class to fit online after the madness of the last few months. I wish we’d gotten to finish up class in person, but I’m sure I’m not the only one who enjoyed the class. Have a great summer! #F470
i think slenderman has earned his place in modern folklore despite its known origin #F470
I really enjoy creepy pastas. They were pretty much the start for me into the creepy and weird horror genre. Things like Slenderman and Smile dog will probably stick with me forever. It’s cool to be at the start of a piece of folklore. #F470
I still stand by the position that no idea or person should be vaguely blamed for one's actions. If you kill someone, you are the only one to blame, not your parents who nurtured you, not the president who's "in charge," not God who made you, it is your fault alone. #F470
Last post of the semester:
Bits of past return
Stories change but stay the same
Cultural folklore

When I think of the Pied Piper, I think of the Piper from "Shrek Forever After" who is a bounty hunter and makes the orges dance. Now I think of him using his pipe to take children because the villagers didn't pay him.

It's so interesting how slenderman became so big so fast. Then basically fell of the radar and is somehow coming back again #F470
When I was a kid, I didn't know what Creepypasta was. When I heard someone talking about it, I thought, "Why would someone think pasta is creepy when it is so delicious?!"😋😅

I think a lot of the fear of urban legends comes from not that they're real per se, but the fact that they're very plausible and could be real. It could've happened, so it could also happen to you or me. #F470
@josephsdsu if I have nightmares from this documentary because of the creepy clown shit, I WILL blame you. I have a deathly fear of clowns. This is terrifying. Fuck this shit now. #F470
