[@darraghtalorgan1905]

Jack O' Lantern was an Irish guy that tricked the devil in a weird drinking game. Once he died he could neither enter heaven or hell and had to walk the spirit world as an outcome of his stinginess. To ward off evil spirits he carved a lantern out of a turnip which would drive the spirits away. People started carving pumpkins because they are a hell of a lot eaesier and better looking.

The year is 2036. The crew are all strapped into chairs, forced to produce Drawfee episodes to appease their AI overlord, the Algorithm. The theme of the day is humans missing body parts. Jacob gets the headless horseman. Karina gets a pirate. Julia gets the manananggal.

[@DragonbIaze052]

@@linkeragon7885 Most episodes only have 3 artists drawing, and Nathan seems the least suited for the prompt. Sure, he would be fantastic at giving us a pirate or a headless horseman or Winter Soldier, but the AI overlords would concluded that there would be a 1.6% higher rate of viewer interaction if Jacob was drawing on this episode instead of Nathan. Also, it was just really hard for me to come up with a 4th idea.

From what I remember, Jack O’lanterns are based on the Irish man Jack O’ the Lantern. He kept trapping the Devil and making deals repeatedly until the Devil promised he’d never go to Hell, but Jack didn’t meet Heaven’s standards so wanders eternally. The lantern part is because the Devil took pity on him and gave him an ember of Hellfire to light his way, which Jack put in a turnip to carry, as you do.

[@grimdarkartist9176]

Yeah. If I remember correctly, jack o’lanterns became pumpkins when the tradition came to the Americas because pumpkins are native to the southern US and Mexico, so they were more readily available than turnips.

[@BirdQuartet]

Before Christianisation of the Pagan British Isles it was actual skulls that were used. Skulls were lit with candles so as to invite the friendly dead and scare away the unfriendly dead. Halloween itself actually comes from the Pagan festival of Samhain. Jack O' the Lantern was essentially brought about to further kill the British Isles' (and, to an extent, French) Pagan religions and suit new Christian society. :)

Fun fact the origin of jack o' lanterns partially originates from Irish folklore; Stingy Jack (also known as Jack the Smith, Drunk Jack, Flaky Jack) anyways it's about a guy who tricks the devil twice and when he died he couldn't go to heaven and the devil made a promise to not take his soul so he was forced to walk the earth with a burning ember, he carved out a turnup to carry the coal.

The Fianna were powerless to prevent it. When Fionn arrived at Tara he promised Cormac Mac Art that he would get rid of Aillen and this would prove his right of inheritance to the title of captain. Fionn was armed with a magical spear and while Aillen played his fairy music, Fionn kept himself awake by sticking the point of his own spear into this forehead and the pain stopped him from falling asleep. Fionn killed Ailleen with the spear, he cut off his head and carried it to Tara so that when dawn broke and the High King and his warriors awoke from the enchanted sleep they would see that Fionn had killed Aillen." - from the story of how fionn became the leader of the Fianna

Honestly carving snéaps is kinda fun. You don't have the pressure of being majestically artistic. You just put a little face into a vegetable and be on your way.

[@fluoxetoon]

It's not exactly folklore, it's only from 1901, but there's a statue of a so-called vampire rabbit above the doorway of a building in my city, and no-one's quite certain why. There's lots of myths and theories, but I don't think it's ever been solved, so they just run with it and embraced him as a local legend lol (Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK)

Makes sense that turnips would've been carved before pumpkins, since pumpkins are a New World crop. Native Americans didn't painstakingly domesticate the pumpkin just so that people could claim it was always there!

Whenever Karina mentions W.I.T.C.H. I remember being 12 and having bought the first issue at the scholastic book fair. I loved the art so much, I would trace all my favorite panels. I was so disappointed when they didn't publish the rest in the US, but I'm glad other ppl remember it

[@Grimalkin25]

Disney started publishing all of them in giant volumes a couple years ago. They even have a new one coming out next month!

[@jynellearches4466]

I remember reading them in bookstores in the philippines. I would buy them and bring them over and trace them too! It’s still one of my favorite comics.

When Tristan read the description of the Mananangal and mentioned "separation the torso and growing bat wings" My first thought went to literally spreading open the ribcage like wings. Similar to the Blut Adler execution from Viking myths

I genuinely love that Julia drew the manananggal again. I recognized it immediately when Tristen described it, and it’s so fun to see how Julia drew it differently from the last time.

[@lukasbright201]

Some additional fun stuff abt manananggals: the reason that putting salt/garlic on the bottom half would cause them to die is bc it prevented them from putting their halves back together. And if the halves arent reunited by sunrise then they die. So what they’d do is bury their lower halves somewhere hidden whenever they went out so no one would get to them and salt em up

[@Beigemage]

Here's an idea for you. Drawfee Chicken! Draw something that makes the others beg you to stop. Sort of like The Gong Show. And even better, yall each have something different that makes you cringe like, scary stuff, vs gross stuff, tangent lines. Yall do so many challenges where you laugh at the one drawing. It's time to give the drawer the power!
