Something a lil different, some new original characters of mine that have been cooking in my head for a few days 👀
ALSO, HAPPY PRIDE EVERYONE!
New trope is dropping now because I said so, Dragon and Unicorn trope.
Can I explain this trope? Yes and no, am I going to? No, I wanna see what people make of it 👀
Their names are Eira (the fair haired one) and Noma (the short haired one) <3
I'll add more information to this and repost it when I get more proper research done for them! I've ALWAYS wanted to make more historically accurate characters, and I honestly adore the concept of these 2 sm-
Lemme know what you guys think!

So a while back we were re-watching "The Last Unicorn" when my sister pointed out that in the beginning, Amalthea was still walking like a unicorn! Wait, what, rewind that.
She was! The way she moved her ankles and feet like hooves.
Later she turns her forehead first when Haggard walks toward her.
This was so cool to see the animators consider this character is a UNICORN IN THE SHAPE OF A WOMAN, so she moves her human body like a unicorn!
Great detail work/acting from the animation team! Here's to the "Monster Turned Into a Human Trope"
Ariel from the Little Mermaid tring to figure out legs.
Sisu from Raya and The Last Dragon crawling around all over the place.
Finally, the irony of Demona, a gargoyle who hates humans, taking to being human like a fish to water.

eheheheheh, deeply amusing myself again because, since merfolk are amphibians, that means that miranda is a frog princess
#all the care guide says is 'biomass'#the princess is also a dragon too#the dragon is one of those dragons thats very similar to a frog in the first place#but its the thought that counts!#this is better than bellanda who is both the frog and the princess#but who is also the dragon and the knight too#i spin the tropes around and around in my head and teehee#technically aaravi is also a unicorn princess too though she'll punch you if you even imply that

Seeing the trailer for Millie Bobby Brown's new movie makes me wonder if I've ever actually seen or heard of the "knight rescues damsel from dragon" trope played completely straight before, or if that's something of a dead unicorn trope.
I realize there's the classic "Saint George and the Dragon," but even in that case the princess was never bodily in any danger, it was the kingdom and the lands which were beset and the princess acted more as a diplomat hiring him on behalf of her country.
Perhaps the trope originator is the Greek myth of Perseus and Andromeda? You have the princess chained up to be offered to a (sea) dragon for the purpose of a ritual sacrifice, so it's not like the dragon really "kidnapped" her, and it's missing any mention of a tower, but it ticks more boxes than any I can think of

Things in merlin fics I love
Dragon lord Merlin that has more effects than just controlling dragons. Behavior wise more so though not physically.
magic sensitive Arthur/magic loves Arthur.
kinda adds to the last one but, even though I only see it once when the unicorn from s1e11 and Arthur are bonded. Percival’s family that were killed were his daughter’s so he’s really good with kids or anytime the knights are good with kids really.
Leon having a sister .
When Merlin ,Arthur ,and the knights have to confront ghost of their past. Something like the tears of uther pendragon.
Anytime Arthur and hunith interact.
Painter Arthur.
platonic besties Arthur and Gwen.
knight Gwen.
snowball fights/swimming in lakes etc anytime they can just act like friends and hang out.
hugshugshugshugshugs. I just love hugs and would love to see them more.
Flower crowns. Love to see it. Either when Merlin magics one’s up for Arthur or Arthur is surprisingly good at making them so he gives on to Merlin.
When ygraine has more family that loves Arthur and don’t blame Arthur. (Every time this happens their dead but still.)
Arthur Reuniting with his dead love ones fics.
kidnapped Arthur. One of my favorite tropes especially when Merlin snaps looking for him🙏🏽

How would you feel if we learn in later seasons (fingers crossed) that the dragons can shape shift (like dragons in other lore) into humans or elf's to hide in plain sight?
And for my real question, how would this affect Soren and his unmatched charisma with the Dragon Queen or any of the other dragons that he's rizzed up?
I’ve been thinking about this ask a lot, and, you know, I kinda like my dragons being dragons? I can see the appeal of shape shifting creatures (be they dragons, unicorns, etc) but I like the additional complication and interest that comes from try to relate to someone who’s so vastly different from you, be it in size and/or lifespan.
For example, Sol Regem sees humans as lesser beings for what are probably many reasons. The fact they can’t do primal magic would appear to be his major issue, but he was pretty dismissive of Karim too, so I imagine part of the condescension might also come from the fact humans and elves likely seem small and insignificant to someone as long lived and powerful as an archdragon.
Which is part of what I like about the relationship Zubeia has with the dragang. She refers to Ezran as Zym’s brother, implying an incredibly deep connection between them, but also with her.
I do really like the friendship between Soren and Zubeia (and hey, if people ship them, go for your life) but again, what I find interesting about their dynamic is their incredible differences and I guess shape shifting dragons would remove that and make them a bit less interesting to me, though I can see the appeal of that particular trope.

Okay, hear me out, I know this is cheesy, but I just love this 2am thought (yes, it is actually 2am rn and I'm not exactly thinking straight)...do not take this seriously. Maybe. IDK if it sounds nice enough I might write it
But imagine a combination of fairytale tropes and a happy-ish ending (depending on how the villain wants things to go). There's a dark and evil lord taking over the lands in this medieval fantasy world. His army is growing by the day and no matter how hard other kingdoms try, their best knights never return when sent out to destroy him. Everything is seemingly over for the world...that is until an unknown knight in white armor, riding a strong and noble unicorn shows up and begins to unravel each plan that the dark lord has made, saving hundreds of lives.(I love the idea of old medieval unicorns, they sound kind of badass, also unicorns only let themselves be ridden by pure maidens with kind hearts apparently).
The white knight is often seen helping those that are vulnerable and defeating the generals of the dark lord but never killing them. Not a single drop of blood is shed when the white knight is around, infuriating the dark lord so much that he goes out in his own black armor to put a stop to this white knight.
The dark lord then pulls a Bowser move and kidnaps princess Peach the white knight after discovering who she really is inside. He kinda likes it, this is a nice feeling that will totally not cause him issues in the future... :)
Anyways, white knight escapes, dark lord goes oh snap I just lost my queen, and chaos happens.
They then end up fighting, the white knight not really wanting to do this, but hey, what can do you about this situation y'know? Another antagonist suddenly appears, it's some jealous and zealous golden knight that's upset the white knight is doing a good job at preventing death for everyone and he stabs the white knight fatally in hopes of fighting the dark lord himself but he gets got by the dark lord's pet dragon instead.
Cut to a Snow White or Disney princess-esc scene of the white knight without the helmet laying in a cozy bed and the dark lord kisses her to bring her back to life somehow because love works like that.
IDK how it would go after that though, depends how evil the dark lord actually is. His greatest enemy is bed-ridden and unable to fight and there's no one to stop him or his army now. So really, he could do what he wants at that point.

Villain Rise Mikey Thoughts: Part One
i have already written so much for this one, this is part one of my storyline for a villain mikey au !! i genuinely just spewed thoughts out here, i will continue with a part two eventually <3
i'm making up my own villain mikey as i go because i am craving.
the abandoned at birth trope is a little overdone imo, i love it when i read it for the other turtles but mikey deserves something unique
he felt a little different compared to his brothers, not because he was the youngest... he just felt different.
three year old mikey genuinely didn't want to hurt his brothers, not after he practically launched raph at high speeds toward a wall trying to get a jupiter jim toy out of his hand.
he ran away after that, guilt eating at him for some time until he forgot, then he found the hidden city.
he finds baron draxum and realises he's his other dad, which made the screws already loose in his head rattle a little bit.
draxum trains mikey in the mystic arts safely so that he doesn't hurt himself, which was very loving and tender on his part.
mikey deserved an attentive father, that was something draxum realised when mikey told him what he could remember about splinter.
even though mikey was raised in a decent environment, draxum still wanted to destroy the human race and that warped mikey's thoughts and actions a little bit.
this especially affected his views on getting what he wanted whenever he did, he definitely is a youngest child at heart.
he would start being a delinquent in the hidden city, running away from the police if they caught him loitering or tagging places.
then he moved on to stealing.
coins, unicorns, jewellery, mystic trinkets, you name it.
he used his mystic portals to steal and hoard like a dragon.
while draxum was proud, he created mikey for something bigger than petty thievery, mikey was destined for something greater.
draxum told eleven year old mikey about going back topside, and he did just that, enduring homelessness for a brief period of time before getting a small apartment from all the money he pickpocketed in the financial district of manhattan.
he hated being among humans, seeing their lives as minuscule and pointless– but he never let it show, he always had the mask of a sweetheart.
he witnessed his first murder and for the first time in a while, he wasn't bored.
mikey wondered about upping the ante to his criminal lifestyle, he was growing bored of stealing and he completed his father's training, what kind of human could defend against him ?
he only started with nobodies, people who would be forgotten within a week.
it got his blood pumping, adrenaline coursing through his veins. he liked it.
but killing "undesirables" meant little to no money, and mikey has to pay rent. he lives in the bronx after all.
villain mikey likes the thrill of the hunt, he started hunting down drunk people after they leave the bar, sometimes even sober ones just getting off a late shift at work.
it was when he crossed paths with yokai capturing humans that he found interest in keeping one as a pet.
he moves to brooklyn at thirteen to go back to tagging graffiti, sometimes in the oddest of places.
that was around the time his brothers interrupted draxum's experiment and released the oozequitos to new york.
he captured a large sum of oozequitos to give back to his dad, but there were still others that decided to breed and persist.
mikey has no real motive for what he's doing, he's doing what his father asked of him and he wants to appease him, but he regularly has his doubts.
then when draxum teams up with the foot clan, that's when he really questions his dad, if the dark armour is worth all the risks he's taking.
mikey meets big mama and realises she's behind the human trafficking, then asks her if he could have a pet human of his own.
she scoffs and tells him to capture one himself, no kin of draxum should get meddled with her business (after all that happened with the other turtles, if mikey's the one with draxum she's not taking any chances for a temper tantrum)
even though villain mikey's a spoiled brat, he also recognises that if he wants a job done right, he has to do it himself.
mikey moves back to the hidden city to nurse draxum back to health after the dark armour drained his life force.
he finally comes across his brothers again and thinks they're amateur idiots.
he's a bit of a bastard, ignoring his brothers and continuing to do what he does for fun (graffiti, stealing, offing innocents).
a couple years pass and the krang invasion happens.
he put aside his differences with his brothers just for this, he still cares because these are the turtles he was created with, even though their dad is kind of whack compared to draxum (mikey really does love his dad).
mikey suddenly unlocks his ninpo and he's the greatest mystic warrior of his timeline, junior finds it weird he's not with his brothers.
leo explains to junior mikey's not one of them despite his assistance, he's not family.
even though mikey physically turned out fine post-krang, it sickened him seeing his brothers losing to some pesky alien creatures.
the way the krang biomatter clung onto raph, leo, and donnie pissed him off.
it unlocked something wrathful and hideous within him, wiping out the krang and sending their tech back to the prison dimension.
it was a miracle when his three brothers snapped out of their krang possession and they snapped him out of the mystic altered state he was in, golden-eyed and chains lifting the technodrome back into the prison dimension.
even though villain mikey is a lot more skilled in his mystic abilities from years of training under draxum, it took a lot out of him to make a portal that big.
he passed out and his brothers, casey, april, and splinter were beside him when he woke up, but he was so annoyed.
he didn't want to wake up to these assholes.
mikey could barely walk, but floating out meant overexerting himself, so pushing everyone out of the way to get back to draxum it is.
post-krang, he suffers a lot of paranoia and anxiety, almost too much to the point where he chains up draxum when accidentally going into the mystic state.
draxum tells him to go to the market, get some herbs to calm down.
he accidentally comes across a dispensary in the market, getting a few strains and asking if he could have it in the form of tea, since he sees a few yokai smoking the herbs.
he's told he could bake them, that's when he gets interested in baking.

I think there tends to be a perception that any work of fiction more than a few decades old is going to be riddled with cliches as well as full of horrifically outdated societal ideals. And I’m not going to say that’s completely incorrect, but it’s also not the case for many works either, including some of the most famous and formative ones.
For instance, let’s take fantasy.
The film “Willow” came out in 1988. It looks like it’s just going to be a straight Chosen One story. The evil queen is killing all the baby girls in the land looking for the one with the super special birthmark who is destined to defeat her, but the fated baby is smuggled away from her clutches just in time, and is found floating down a riverbank. I thought I was going to watch her grow up, discover her destiny and probably some special powers or swordfighting abilities she beats two-dimensional sexist boys with, and journey to heroically slay the queen in an epic showdown. But nope. She’s not named Willow, and she’s not the protagonist, and none of that happens.
The lead, Willow, is the father of the children who find her. They’re little people, and all played by actual little people. So right off the bat, we’ve got a disabled protagonist played by a disabled actor, and he encounters a lot of prejudice for it outside his village. He’s also unusual in that he’s a married father with kids, not some young attached swashbuckler/prince/pirate/etc. He very much WANTS to be a great sorcerer, but shows no actual magic talent. However, he is good at sleight of hand, such as his “diseappearing pig” trick. . . which ends up being his trump card at the climax with which he tricks the evil queen. But that’s just a distraction; the person who has a super badass magical fight with the evil queen isn’t him OR the baby, it’s an elderly sorceress he meets along the way who has beef with her. So the two absolute powerhouses of the movie who go head to head are two WOMEN, and not sexualized ones either. Granted, it’s hard to get more cliche than “evil sorceress queen” but her throwing down with the old crone was VERY unexpected for me! And the other lead female character is the queen’s badass daughter, a powerful fighter who begins on her side but sides with the heroes by the end.
But it’s not the old lady who defeats the queen either; she defeats herself when she tries to kill the baby, setting up a ritual to do so. When Willow tricks her into thinking he made the baby disappear and she moves towards him, she accidentally completes said ritual, causing it to destroy her as the target instead. At not one point in all of this did that baby ever show ANY magical powers or inclination of a special destiny; none of this would have happened if the queen hadn’t believed in this prophecy, for which there really was no proof, and acted accordingly. . . which is a piece of advice I’ve seen many a writer give for how to do the “Chosen One” trope well. And again, this movie was in 1988, predating all these writing blogs and advice channels. And what’s more, Willow doesn’t get real magic in the nick of time, there’s no Deus Ex Machina, he uses his own cleverness and the stage tricks he WORKED for. I really loved that. Again, it’s like something a modern writing blog would say they would totally love to see happen sometime!
The Last Unicorn film came out in 1982, but the novel was written in 1968. And yet, it averts a great many cliches about fantasy and gender in fantasy. The lead is female, and her motive has nothing to do with men. She has agency and takes action, and is very strong while not needing to make a big deal out of being “not like other girls” to do it (though she is definitely NOT like other girls, as she’s a unicorn in human form!) for this strength. We see her fend off a harpy, fight back against the Red Bull, and it’s mentioned she’s killed dragons before as well. Plus, she comes back in the sequel “Two Hearts” to finish off a griffin. Yet at no point is she an obnoxious edgy girlboss who shits on feminity; she’s in fact very feminine if she’s anything. And she does fall in love with a man, and this does have a big impact on her, but he’s not what her quest is about, and she in fact has to choose to give up being with him to complete that quest, and leaves him entirely at the end.
She also passes the Bechdel test; she talks with the witchy Mommy Fortuna who kidnaps her, trying to persuade her to free another female monster, the aforementioned harpy. And while she talk to her woman friend Molly about her love interest, their most iconic conversation is their first, and very feminist one, in which Molly angrily sobs demanding to know why the unicorn only came to her now, when she is no longer the innocent young maiden that unicorns are SUPPOSED to come to, but instead a haggard middle-aged woman who has been living with the leader of a bunch of bandits in the woods. Definitely not a demure virgin like the mythos say unicorns love. And yet, implicitly, the unicorn does not care.
And, of course, the unicorn saves herself at the end, and all the other unicorns in the world. It never presents itself as a feminist story, and I don’t think it was intended as such, but it sure qualifies in a number of categories.
For the final example, there’s The Lord of the Rings, written in the mid-50s. I actually haven’t read this series. But what I can comment on is something that was pointed out by someone on Tumblr (alas, I cannot remember the URL) that what so many of Tolkien’s imitators get wrong is they think that Aragorn is the protagonist, and make their Aragorn rip-off be so, but that actually the protagonist was Frodo, the literal little guy, the humblest of creatures, with no magic or fighting skills, and that this was the point. And I think that’s really interesting, that the father of modern fantasy and all its cliches, actually averted this cliche; it was only his many copycats that made it one.
These works were not, of course, perfect in other ways. There’s nary a scrap of POC or LGBT rep to be found in them that I know of. But they’re also far from cliche-storms in which every character is a cardboard cutout stock type and which every plot point is easily predicted either.
So, what is my point to this post?
It’s that older works are worth reading, or watching. Especially the genre-defining ones. These are some of the most famous, most far-reaching works of the fantasy genre in modern times, and that’s because they were GOOD. It’s not even about the box-checking aspect either; The Last Unicorn is heart-breakingly beautiful writing with a story and lines that make me more emotional than any other work ever has, book and film. Willow is a jolly good watch. The Lord of the Rings…ok, I’ll level with you, I just couldn’t get into it, that’s why I didn’t read it, but its significance to the fantasy genre is undeniable, and just because it wasn’t for me doesn’t mean it isn’t worth YOU giving it a shot. But so many people are just so sure that anything from before 2000 must be unoriginal, problematic garbage, and that’s reductive as well.
Besides the fact you’re missing out on things you might enjoy, reading within your genre is especially essential if you plan to WRITE in it, in my opinion. Whether this is fantasy, romance, sci-fi, horror, or something else, it is WORTH reading the masters. It is also worth familiarizing yourself with what’s ACTUALLY cliche, and what’s a DEAD UNICORN TROPE—I’ve read waaaay too many people who wrote what they clearly THOUGHT were very clever satires, but the things they were making fun of were never actually that prevalent in the genre to begin with, people just THOUGHT they were (ex: How many stories out there are there REALLY of princesses being rescued by dragons? Actually very few. But everyone lampshades it and references it and so on!) So it’s also worth reading what’s been done before if your plan is to parody, or satire, or deconstruct, or just do something new—that way, what you write will actually BE something new, instead of the eleven millionth author who thinks their protagonist is SO UNIQUE because they are a GIRL who FIGHTS omg!!
A lot of writers, both professional and aspiring, fear consuming work within their own genre, worried that they will be subconsciously influenced by it. They want their work to be wholly original, from their own imagination entirely. While I respect their choice, I also disagree that being inspired from other works is a bad thing. Inspiration doesn’t mean a direct copy. Indeed, I think people should in general stop stressing whether their work is a perfect unique snowflake untouched by any outside influence. All of us are influenced by something or other. And that’s fine. Every great work that you love was influenced by something else, consciously or subconsciously. Can you imagine if Neil Gaiman had decided NOT to write American Gods, and his own depictions of Odin and Loki, because he was a fan of Thor comics as a child (it’s what got him into actual Norse mythology!) and was worried that Jack Kirby’s version of the gods would influence his own? Ridiculous! Heck, I think it’s good to be inspired! To get ideas from other things! You just have to make them your own! And if there’s one thing that humans are goshdarn good at, it’s putting our own new spin on something we heard! That’s been how storytelling has worked since it begun!
And heck, why stop at reading the greats? Read the obscures and the flops! Read the worst shit in the genre! See what NOT to do, and think how you could do it better, and get the grain of a story from that! Get ideas from works in the genre that are forgotten or under-known! Use ideas from these that so many others have slept on, and expand them! For instance, look at the vampires of Paul Feval rather than Stoker or Le Fanu, for instance—if THEY had been the major media influences for Hollywood’s vampires, what would our modern depictions of these creatures be like? Use that as a jumping point for YOUR take on them!
Anyway, that’s all. I’m going to go watch The Dark Crystal now.

Ok, I'll bite, what is "The Miraculous Tales of Chat Noir"?
Yesss I love this one! Thank you! 🖤🐈⬛
As you may recall, Chat Noir got his hero name from a storybook Emilie read him as a child. This fic is an attempt at recreating the storybook in question, while of course exploring characters from canon.
My favourite part is that it has a very, very passive-aggressive narrator, who is very, very aware of the tropes:
“My love,” he announced, “I believe I have found the answer to your woes. You wish for a friend, but tremble at the thought of the cruelty of man. You wish for a companion that will be pure of heart, free of any passions, and as entirely devoted to you as I am.”
“My beautiful husband, this is certainly true,” the wife said, dreamily. “But I do not believe there is a single soul in this kingdom that fits this description, apart from your own.”
“My love, you are giving me too much credit. Such souls are everywhere around us: they watch over the sapphire skies; they follow you along as you trail the path to the forest; they hide in magnificent caves and under the humblest of pebbles. Animals, beloved, are better people than people themselves; and so, it stands to reason than the only person worthy of your affection is, in fact, not a person. Name any creature you would like by your side, as big or tiny as you want, as dangerous or rare as you desire; your wish is my command; there are no lengths I would not go to to see you smile again.”
The wife agreed that it was a wonderful idea, because her husband’s ideas were always wonderful; but, like many heroines before her, she was too virtuous, too humble to ask for a dragon, for a unicorn or for a phoenix. Instead, she interrogated her heart, searching for the perfect companion.
“My beautiful husband, I ask only one thing of you. I want my new friend to be just like me: curious, but attached to its home; graceful, but protective.”
“What you want, beloved, is a cat,” the husband said, for he was well-traveled and had met many creatures in his younger years. “A cat will curl up by your feet in winter; a cat will laze next to you in the sun; a cat will stand on the rooftop in the darkest of nights, protecting you against nefarious spirits. I shall find you the most beautiful cat there is, as beautiful and perfect as you are; and it will keep your heart warm, when I am unable to do so.”
And so, it was agreed that the husband would find his bride the prettiest, the smartest, the most perfect cat in existence.
Totally normal behaviour, and not a metaphor for anything. This is fine. Everything is fine.

Ooooooo~ I love the many experiences of a Monster x Human pairing. It's a wonderful trope that opens up so many possibilities for romance, angst, fluff, etc. I love it so much. I could read it forever and never get tired of it. Urban fantasy, secret world, and likewise genres are absolutely fantastic. I understand your attraction to them. Also all of my chosen fictional favorites are some brand of monster (going to count angels under monster even though they seem to often be their own category). And, personally, I am fine with poly as long as I like everyone involved and I get to hold their hands. 👉👈 Farz just wan't that. I would glad hold Sano and Vincent's hands at the same time though. Or maybe that's more of my own personal monster harem? Either way, I'm winning!
Also, not sure if you played them or not, but you may like:
Cinderella Phenomenon (free - the premise is that all the men have some kind of fairy tale curse, so not exactly monsters.)
Seduce Me the Otome (free - most of the love interests are demons. There is a sequel and it is much better, but it is not free)
Cloud Meadow (not free - porn game filled to the brim with monsters and breeding mechanics since you are running a farm and lots of cute possible monster love interests. It's still in early access though)
A Date with Death (free - a fun, cute game in which you seduce the grim reaper over the course of a week)
Not saying you will like all of these, but maybe you will find one of them interesting. I know other games too, but... there are so many and some of them are not good. lol

You🤝Me: Monster x Human pairing in urban fantasy
Ooo~ I've stream A date with death, with friends in our server.
I love Casper, I find him neat. though not as strong I feel for Sano and Vincent.
I'm want to see more Monster men things that isn't just games, though I was to see what they look like. There something about Monster men that get me all heated up and flustered 😊
Hence me liking Obey me, WHB and PB's upcoming game Ark Academy:
You have a Dragon boy, A "Dog" God, A demon god, eldritch tall man, unicorn, zombie, part human? and a cat boy.
Here's to hoping for more news about this game T^T
