    I mean. they could have just said "satyrs" without specifying where they're from. like. what is that detail adding to the sentence.

    I mean, don't ask me. I'm perfectly in agreement that you don't get satyrs in children's movies apart apparently from Disney's Hercules, which is a film that I find adorable in its naivety regarding greek myth

    and the narnia movies, though I thought they also called them fauns actually.

    (I Disapprove of every Narnia movie after the first, mind you.)

    literally all of Greek mythology: not appropriate for children
    Disney's Hercules, a children's movie: ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

    according to the wiki, satyrs and fauns exist as entirely separate species in narnia

    Huh that makes sense. It's been a long-ass time since I read the books but it seems like what Lewis would do.

    The Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus book series is targeted towards kids, so, if there were a movie or two adapted from that, it might count.

    No there isn't.
    There are two movies about it but they suck and the fandom pretends they don't exist.

    i'm guessing that the author may have at one point read the phrase "reeling with pleasure," decided they too would use it, but then fucked it up by changing it to "reels of pleasure."

    I mean, I'd read it.
    The only time I tried to write anything approaching diplomacy was a lead-up to Mycroft Holmes and Saruman fucking and that was quite hard enough.

    Torn between voting "Agree" and "Witnessed". Agree for the first phrase, Witnessed for the second.
