#Izzy Hawthorne

Disney Modern AU: Lightyear

Disclaimer: I'm no expert on the military and only go off of google searches, just wanted to make that clear.

Buzz, Izzy, Mo and Darby are all in the Air Force. Buzz is a pilot, Izzy and Mo are mechanics, and Darby is a retired explosive expert.

Izzy comes from a military family. Her late grandma Alisha was a famous pilot in the Air Force, her grandma Kiko is a retired scientist, and her father is a veteran in the army.

Mo had dreams of becoming a dentist, but those dreams are long gone after being drafted to serve.

Darby has a pet raven that only the three others know about.

Buzz has two pet cats, Sox and Socks. He found the former on the streets before enlisting in the Air Force, while he took the latter away from his shitty father who didn't treat the cat kindly...

While in service, Mo developed a huge tick of clicking pens as a coping mechanism. At first it annoyed everyone, but the other three got used to it and don’t mind it now.

It would only be after Buzz, Izzy and Mo finished their service that they meet the Toy Story characters :)

society if there was really an insanely popular 1995 children’s sci-fi movie about going to therapy, accepting your mistakes and the importance of help which starred a black female lead who is the granddaughter of the male lead’s lesbian commander

I think buzz only wears space themed shirts because he's a big nerd about space

sooooo you wanna explain your thoughts process for your Izzy Hawthorne playlist? 👀👀

inhales sharply!!!!!

so when i make playlists, especially character driven ones, it's usually a combination of songs that are lyrically relevant to their development and then songs that really just establish vibes, both vibes of the world the character lives in and vibes of the character themselves based on what we know slash what I make up. bc i like to have fun.

also i just love stealing from my liked songs

pushin' thru it one girl revolution just a girl celebrity skin california love tubthumping jumpin', jumpin' no scrubs these are all environmental vibe setting songs. i brought this up in my t'kani prime hcs post but i do like thinking about how t'kani prime after 80 years is having their own 90s era! and it's a nice connection to the decade lightyear canonically premiered in. so i wanted a nice mix of that 90s rock, pop, r&b, and alt bc we love black girls in their grunge era. so this is the music that izzy's listening to on a daily basis.

pushin' thru it ("i'm just pushing through it! no, you can't get back what you give!") working for the knife ("i always knew the world moves on, i just didn't know it would go without me...") wicket youth ("what you don't understand, what you can't understand, you can make it mean anything, oh, anything you want!") 929 ("soft and slow, watch the minutes go. count out loud, so we know you don't keep 'em for yourself...") circle game ("soon it's gonna change, it all just goes away, count your lucky stars that you had a chance to play...")

these are the Oh No I'm In My Twenties And I Guess I'm Grown And Heeeeere Comes The Existential Dread! songs. i actually hc that izzy worked as a researcher on the science crew (like her grandma!) before becoming a full-time space ranger, volunteering for junior patrol when she could. so she knows what it's like to live with that monotonous rhythm, to wonder if this is all that her life will amount to. knowing how time starts to speed up and slow down as she gets older.

that and i really wanted to get a mitski song in there somewhere oop-

joan of arc on the dance floor ("we don't! stop! until mascara's on the dance floor! we say: no! joan of arc is on the dance floor!") no fun ("no, we don't waste no time! no, we don't need no sleep! and we can go all night! no, you're no fun!") one girl revolution ("i am a voice yet waiting to be heard, i'll shoot the shot - bang! - that you hear 'round the world! and I'm a one girl revolution!") just a girl ("oh, i'm just a girl, take a good look at me! just your typical prototype! oh, i've had it up to here!") harlem ("when it gets loud, i turn it up! oh, shake it like a bad girl up in harlem!") angels (but in the end, i learned: it rains in hell and angels could be bad!") so these songs all speak to this inner spark, this little spitfire that I think izzy has. and I think this is her 'hawthorneness', even if she doesn't fully know it yet. she thinks that being alisha hawthorne's granddaughter means doing everything Right, when it's really about learning how to harness that spark. to be messy. to be crackling. to be bold.

alien superstar ("i'm too classy for this world, forever, i'm that girl, feed you diamonds and pearls, ooh, baby! i'm too classy to be touched, i paid 'em all in dust, i'm stingy with my love!") good as hell ("come now, come dry your eyes, you know you a star, you can touch the sky! i know that it's hard, but you have to try!")

these are izzy's karaoke night songs, i like to think. they encapsulate the image she wants to project. it's not like she wants people to think she's better than them, but she wants that confidence she usually feels like she doesn't have.

and yes i DO think izzy can sing. why? well uhhhhhh

break my soul ("you won't break my soul, and i'm telling everybody! everybody! everybody! i'm takin' my new salvation, and i'ma build my own foundation!") musician ("oh, it's calling! i just can't stop, i'm sorry! i can feel a new day dawning!")

i see izzy as the heart of team surprise party, and a character who just generally is quite joyful, so these songs speak to that joy, that life and hope she can't help but infuse into everything.

alligator sky ("where was i when the rockets came to life? and carried you away into the alligator sky? even though i'll never know what's up ahead, i'm never lettin' go, i'm never lettin' go!") mikrokosmos ("you got me! (i dream while looking at you!) i got you! (inside those pitch black nights!) the lights we saw in each other were saying the same thing: the starlight that shines more in the deepest night!") come together ("come together! right now! over me!")

izzy hawthorne, the space ranger, now in a team. an unlikely group of friends, but also something more, because they've got each others' lives in their hands, actually.

it's time ("it's time to begin, isn't it? i get a little bit bigger but then, i'll admit, i'm not the same as i was. oh, don't you understand? i'm never changing who i am") never be the same ("i'm changing! if only just a little! i'm breaking! it hurts to let it heal! i'll never be the same! no, i'll never be the same!") on my way ("i'm gonna hit the throttle! i'm gonna place my bet on every step i take! go tell everyone under the sun, i'm on my way! and if i rock bottom, i'm gonna smile and dance with every step i take! go tell everyone under the sun, i'm on my way! on my way!") just like fire ("just like fire, burning out the way! if i can light the world up for just one day! watch this madness, colorful charade! no one can be just like me anyway!")

and these songs represent who she's becoming. she's growing out of that self-imposed shadow, and into a fuller version of her own self. step by step.

sometimes I like thinkin about izzy carries kiko with her as she gets older 🥺 actually I have a one-off hc that izzy's Official Job before she becomes a full fledged space ranger is doing biology research for the colony on top of volunteering for the junior patrol, and I can imagine she always gets a little soft when she can reference grandma kiko's papers in her work

but also more slice of life things, like how she's picked up stray japanese phrases and exclamations that kiko would use all the time. she always answers her phone with a moshi moshi! and team surprise party has gotten used to her ikimashou! right before a mission. kiko was never fluent since her family was a more than few generations removed from japan, but they all tried, and avery and izzy got some of that too. and how izzy still has a ratatouille moment™ when she munches (replicated) bonito flakes because it reminds her of the baby food kiko would make for her.

and izzy got kiko's voice. alisha couldn't carry a tune to save her life.

(grrr bark bark bark kiko singing this to baby avery and then avery and or grandma kiko singing it to baby izzy i'm so unwell)

so ive been trying to think up a response other than !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but my brain is just !!!!! i live this! its so lovely. kiko living thur her son and grandchild 💗💗💗💗

and kiko being a biologist! izzy doing biology work!! 🥺🥺🥺 thank you!!

[gingerisaspice]

the team meets molly ^o^ i think they like her!

[famouslysleepy]

omg i just got this random urge (WINK) to ask you about any alisha and izzy headcanons you might have

Alisha & Izzy Headcanons

when Alisha was still publishing her space ranger books the very first person she always read them too, was to her little boy Avery.

I feel like Izzy took Alisha’s passing very hard at first, cause she was probably still rather young when it happen. She definitely grow up idolizing her books and memories of her as a way to feel connect to her. But in the present day, I think the support of her parents and potentially Kiko (depending on whether she was still alive after Alisha’s passing) are definitely major reasons for why her outlook on being a space ranger someday is still so positive

[mymameisnotknown]

Izzy can and probably will kick all our asses

I am a child when it comes to coloring
