donkey doesn’t tie into any fairytales
The donkey, therefore, was brought up and grew bigger, and his ears grew up beautifully high and straight. He was, however, of a merry disposition, jumped about, played and had especial pleasure in music, so that he went to a celebrated musician and said, “Teach me thine art, that I may play the lute as well as thou dost.” (The Donkey by the Brothers Grimm)
It costs $0 to lie on the internet, reminder.
No it means that Shrek is biblical canon
the brothers grimm literally has a story about a talking donkey anon is a filthy filthy liar https://www.grimmstories.com/en/grimm_fairy-tales/the_donkey
Plenty of donkeys in Aesop’s fables, too, if those count.
I think it’s origin is actually the same as Shrek and Fiona. In the book “Shrek!” there is a donkey that accompanies Shrek to a castle where he meets a princess uglier than him.

Shrek’s based on a book with a plot structure only vaguely resembling the movie, but sharing an identical moral message. Donkey and shrek are in the book, so donkey and shrek are in the movie. I don’t think it went past that.
Why was Donkey in the book, then, smart fella?
Because the author drew them
Oh okay. No further questions.
You must be fun at parties
Not particularly, but I’m the only one that brings narcan, so they keep me around
Narcan, a live saver for any party
I still like the theory that Donkey is a Lost Boy escaped from Treasure Island before the full transformation took over and he lost his voice.
A fellow Theorist, eh?
Good to see you. :)
So the little boy fucked a dragon?
I suppose its not much more fucked up than interspecies donkey/dragon coitus, but still.
We don’t really know how old Donkey is, he may very well have ‘grown up’ by then.
But yeah; basically a human cosplaying as a donkey (with the help of some magic) fucked a dragon…
If you need shrek to tell you the bible is a fairy tale then brother I have news for you
Fine. I need you to prove that the universe wasn’t created in 7 days and that ribs don’t spontaneously turn into women. (Talking, burning bushes are totally a thing though. I have seen one.)
Edit: Didn’t express the /s enough I suppose. Flipping the burden of truth is all too common in some very strange discussions I have had in the past.
The Bible and Shrek are both human mythology. Stories we’ve created, learned, and lived that encapsulate aspects of the lived human experience.
Yeah but one of them is a good moral example and the other is the bible.
one is a good moral example and the other is a medieval sex guide
Always was 🧑🚀🔫🧑🚀
Is that the official render of Donkey? That’s fucking terrifying.
