As Gladys' débutante ball approaches, Mrs Russell seems to be on a spree of cutting off her nose to spite her face, first disinviting Carrie Astor because her mother wouldn't receive her, now wanting to dismiss Monsieur Baudain who's turned out to be a fraudulent Frenchman, a mere ouiabou wannabe from Kansas. How much ball will be left after all these cuts and changes?

Thank you dear!

Show how much you trust me

Pairing: Li Shang x Fem reader

Description: After saving Shang from Shan yu show him your secret to see if he still trusts you

You fought a group of huns with your friend Mulan who had been your friend for years, joining her in the army for honor but to also be who you are even with the risks involved with what the two of you were doing. You happen to turn when you see Shan Yu behind your general and friend Li Shang fighting 3 other huns on his own, not seeing shan behind him ready to take him out but you were going to make sure that wouldn't happen to anyone let alone someone you cared about if you had any say in it. You run jumping and tackling shan yu managing to get good hits even cutting his shoulder, rolling and moving quickly in between the hits with your sword before you got hit and thrown a few feet away from him hitting your back on a rock slowly leaning up seeing Chien Po and ling running to where you were, fearing that you and shang had gotten hurt instead you all see shang and mulan disguised as her alias Ping fighting while the boys ran to you after seeing you across from them leaned on the rock you hit. You groan in pain as chien po lifts you and puts you on his shoulder running to hide from the avalanche with shang and mulan behind you looking at them until you couldn't see them running to find them, getting caught in the avalanche finding mulan's horse Khan not to far getting on him looking for your friends seeing nothing but snow until you looked behind you and see a red cape. You immediately get and grab him looking until you hear a gasp seeing mulan nearby "Mulan! Over here!" she gets on in front of you as you see the edge of the cliff going over until you stopped mid air seeing the rope on khan smiling in relief as you guys are helped until as you and shang step on the ground the rocks below you collapse screaming as you fall grabbing hold of a steep part of the cliff holding on to shang hearing everyone yelling. Soon you see the rope next to you after climbing up on an edge putting shang over your shoulders and grabbing the rope as everyone gets you up and away from the cliff "Step away they need air" you look at each other as you catch your breath "You are two of the craziest men I ever met...and for that I owe you both my life from now on both of you have my trust" you smile as everyone cheers until you heard mulan yell in pain seeing the wound and immediately knowing that the secret you both had kept was gonna be exposed. You grab her and run in the medic tent, carefully treating her wound shaking as you try to sew the wound up until shang grabs your arm doing it as you notice one just above your chest "Do you still trust me?" You take your armor off closing your eyes until you hear a sword and feel something warm under your chin opening your eyes to see his fingers holding your chin with his sword in the corner. He patches you up thanking him as you hold your armor "You're my friend and you saved my life my debt is repaid and I trust you" you smile putting your armor on telling everyone of mulan's condition relieved she recovered going to celebrate victory until the huns came and took the emperor fighting shan yu with shang deciding to give shang an up throwing both your shoes at shan yu "I was the one you threw at the rock". You pull your hair back and with your helmet on as he realizes "Show how much you trust me" you say running as he follows you fighting him giving shang time to get him stuck as the fireworks hit him both of you holding lanterns until you both jumped landing on mulan who was looking for the both of you smiling and hugging each other as you join the boys and end up being rewarded for saving China by the emperor going back home to your family who heard the news being proud of you. You were holding your baby sister when you heard your brother say someone was here for you turning to see shang smiling big hugging and inviting him for dinner and soon after the two of you began dating and joining him on his adventures with your friends and mulan after getting engaged.

The Ballad of Mulan: 木兰诗 mù lán shī

I was curious about what the original story was like, so I looked up (a version of) the original text. It was really interesting and eye-opening because (unsurprisingly?) it's nothing like the Disney movie(s). The only real similarity is the premise: a young woman with no older brother takes her elderly father's place in the war draft. Apart from that, about every other detail is different:

Mulan has siblings: an older sister and a younger brother.

The ruler of this kingdom is referred to as the Khan/Khagan (可汗) and as the Son of Heaven (天子), titles used together for the emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty (北魏 386–535 CE).

Mulan is never discovered to be a woman during her time in the army, spending 12 years there.

The enemy is never specified explicitly, though historically this may have been the Rouran (柔然) in present-day Inner Mongolia (内蒙古). Places that Mulan passes include the Yellow River (黄河), the Black Mountain (黑山, thought to be southeast of Huhhot 呼和浩特, Inner Mongolia), and the Yan Mountain (燕山, referring to either the 阴山 Yīn mountains of Inner Mongolia or the 燕然山 Yānrán mountains of Mongolia 蒙古).

The description of her journey is much longer and more colorful than anything about the war itself, providing imagery and parallel structure that differs from the rest of the poem.

On the soldiers' return, the emperor offers Mulan a government position (尚书郎), which she turns down, asking only for a 明驼 to return her home across the 万里 that separated her from her family. I wasn't sure if this "camel" was to be taken literally; translations I found differed on whether this was a camel, a horse, or some magical version of these which traveled at incredible speed.

The soldiers only discover that Mulan is a woman when she returns home, changing back into her old clothing (旧时裳), pulling her hair back into a feminine style, and applying makeup. I found it curious just how quickly she readjusted to her old life.

The last lines of the poem were also really beautiful and spoke to me in a queer way. It says that when you see a pair of rabbits, male and female, running together, side by side, how can you tell them apart?

雄兔脚扑朔，雌兔眼迷离，双兔傍地走，安能辨我是雄雌？

These lines include a chengyu, 扑朔迷离, meaning "complicated, confusing," which originally comes from this passage, referring to the difficulty in telling apart the male and female rabbits. "The male's foot is twitching, the female's eyes are squinted, blurry," but these small differences aren't noticeable from afar or when the rabbits are in motion. Though you might eventually be able to pick out some small details regarding the sexes of the rabbits, in the end it doesn't really matter. To the hunter, for instance, these are both simply targets; their sex is inconsequential.

For Mulan, in her role in the army, it didn't matter that she wasn't a man; she completed her tasks regardless. (And not only did she complete them, she earned recognition from the emperor for her work.)

Transphobes online may waste hours picking apart the details of people's bodies that they deem gender variant, but in the end, in many cases, people simply don't care whether the rabbit has twitchy feet or squinted eyes or whatever else. A rabbit is a rabbit, and our genders are rarely, if ever, consequential enough to the task at hand to merit such scrutiny.

安能辩我是雄雌？你到底为什么要知道？

A Promise is Timeless

Chapter Two: Meeting Asha and King Magnifico (Part One)

Reading Time: 17 minutes 34 seconds

Speaking Time: 26 minutes 51 seconds

The August sun cast a golden sheen over the lush green meadows of the castle grounds, its warmth a welcome embrace as the day began. The air was filled with the rhythmic thud of arrows hitting wooden targets, accompanied by the occasional whiny of horses and hoof beats.

Merida, her fiery hair flowing in the breeze, adjusted her bow with a determined smug. Angus, her loyal steed, stamped his hooves restlessly beneath her. "Alright, Angus, let’s show ‘em what we’re made of!" she encouraged, drawing her bowstring with a practiced ease.

Nearby, Mulan, dressed in her father’s armor with her hair up, expertly guided Khan through a series of precise maneuvers. “Remember, Khan, aim true and steady,” she said, her voice a calm contrast to the intensity of her focus. Khan snorted, nodding as if he understood perfectly.

Belle perched gracefully atop Phillipe, was engaged in a friendly competition with Raya. Instead of her normal white and blue dress, she was dressed in a rose-red archery outfit with yellow trims in the same shade as her princess dress.

“Belle, are you sure Phillipe is up for this?” Raya teased, her eyes sparkling with amusement. Tuk Tuk, her not-so-horsey companion, rolled beside the brunette.

Belle smiled, drawing another arrow. “Phillipe’s more than capable. It’s me you should worry about!”

Isabel, riding Gladiator, joined the banter with a laugh. “You all talk a good game, but I’m about to show you how it’s done!” She aimed and released an arrow with a confident flick of her wrist.

At that moment, Esmeralda rode into view, astride Achilles, Phoebus’s trusty steed. She offered a radiant smile as she expertly drew her bow, her normal attire replaced by an outfit similar to Belle’s but purple instead of green. “Sorry, I’m late, everyone. Achilles and I had to get in a bit of practice ourselves.”

The arrows whizzed through the air, each princess displaying their unique skills with each bow snapping. The sun-drenched morning was alive with a friendly rivalry. As each arrow struck its mark, laughter filled the air, mingling with the cheerful sounds of the kingdom waking up to a new day.

While the princesses continued their archery practice on horseback, a sudden burst of excitement and a shimmering flash of color drew their attention skyward. Princess Jasmine soared into view, standing effortlessly on the magic carpet, a mischievous grin on her face.

With a flourish, Jasmine produced a set of gleaming knives and began hurling them toward the wooden targets with precision. Each blade struck its mark with a satisfying thud, eliciting gasps of awe and a few chuckles from the other princesses.

Merida raised an eyebrow, her free hand resting on her hip. “Well, isn’t someone fancy? You do know we’re practicing archery, right?”

Jasmine laughed, twirling a knife in the air before catching it deftly. “I thought I’d add a little flair to the morning! Besides, it’s not like you all are using magic carpets. Try doing archery from up here!”

Mulan shook her head, a playful smirk on her lips. “I think we’ll pass. I don’t see any carpets in the stables, after all.”

Belle joined in, a teasing glint in her eye. “You’re just trying to show off, Jasmine. We all know your real talent lies in making an entrance.”

Esmeralda, riding Achilles, chuckled as she observed Jasmine’s performance. “Well, Jasmine, if you keep this up, we might have to start calling you ‘The Queen of Aerial Arts.’ I’d love to see anyone else top this!”

Jasmine’s eyes sparkled with amusement. “Well, if you think you’re up for the challenge, I’d love to see you try archery on a magic carpet. Until then, I’ll keep my showmanship to myself.”

Isabel nudged Gladiator and laughed. “I don’t think any of us are brave enough to take you up on that. But for now, keep those knives coming. It’s not every day we get a front-row seat to your aerial acrobatics!”

With that, Jasmine executed a graceful spin, her magic carpet swirling beneath her as she continued her impressive display. The other princesses couldn’t help but cheer her on, their earlier competition forgotten in the face of such spectacular showmanship.

After a good hour of practice, the princesses guided their steeds into the stables, exchanging laughs and friendly jabs about who had the best aim. Jasmine's magic carpet hovered beside her as the group walked back to the castle.

“I see that your archery skills are getting better, Belle,” Raya compliments her as the group walks. Belle feels appreciated and a little bashful.

“Well, I do have the best teachers,” Belle compliments Raya. “You and Ms.-hero-of-China here.” Which causes laughter between the two. “But mostly I wonder what Tiana, Cinderella, and Aurora are cooking up for lunch,” Belle mused, wiping sweat from her brow. “After all, this practice sure works up an appetite.”

“Maybe something with a bit of spice,” Esmeralda suggested, “considering Tiana’s knack for amazing dishes.”

As they rounded a corner, a sudden swirl of dark smoke materialized in front of them, revealing Hades, the god of the underworld. He clapped his hands together in exaggerated applause, a sly grin spreading across his face.

“Bravo, ladies! Bravo! I have to say, I’ve never seen archery quite like that,” Hades said, his fiery head flames flickering with amusement.

“Well, that’s a surprise,” Mulan said, raising an eyebrow. “What brings you here, Hades?”

Hades shrugged nonchalantly, his grin widening. “Oh, just thought I’d check out the local entertainment. The underworld’s running itself, so I had a bit of free time. And let’s be honest, watching you all was way more fun than managing the endless torments.”

Isabel, feeling a tinge of embarrassment, stepped forward. “Why were you specifically watching us? And don’t you have an underworld to run?”

Hades flicked a hand dismissively. “Like I said, the underworld mostly runs itself, you know. I came to see how our newest recruit was faring.” His gaze rested on Isabel. “I noticed you weren’t in the villain’s lair this morning. Thought I’d see what’s going on.”

Isabel looked puzzled by Hades’s comment. “Recruitment? But I’m not evil like the rest of you,” she says honestly to clarify. “Sure I helped save you and the other villains from being under a curse for so long as well as saved the Disneyverse and reality from the destruction of two witches, not single-handedly of course. Both you and Maleficent even offered me a place to sleep in the lair so I didn’t have to stay in the Haunted Mansion anymore.”

Hades chuckled, the flames on his head crackling. “Well, Isabel, the villain’s league has a very flexible definition of what makes someone part of their team. It’s not all about being wicked. Sometimes, it’s just about finding people who can bring a bit of unexpected flair. And you, my dear, have certainly brought that.”

Esmeralda nudged Isabel gently. “Looks like you’ve made quite the impression after all these months.”

Isabel gave a wry smile. “I guess so,” she shrugs. “Though I must admit, it’s a bit strange having you all so interested in me even though I’m Mickey and Minnie’s adopted daughter.” She says towards the God.

Hades gave a theatrical bow. “All part of the fun! And don’t worry, we know to keep an eye out for you for Merlin’s worried sake. After all, who knows when you might be needed to shake things up a bit?”

“All I have been doing is cooking breakfast and making tea for the villains as well as keeping the place clean,” Isabel admits. “Also I wasn’t expecting you to come watch us, I didn’t want you to see me all sweaty and oily from practice today.”

“First off, greatly appreciated. Second, you already know why. Third, you’re mortal. I’m not gonna judge you or be disgusted by your sweat, it’s a normal thing for mortal skin.” Hades says in a casual nonchalant tone. “Besides that, hello ladies. It’s been a long time since we truly saw each other face to face since the good ol’ House of Mouse days.” Referred to Belle, Mulan, Esmeralda, and Jasmine before turning to the two new princesses.

“Merida, I presume? Pixar’s Princess,” Hades says to the Scottish redhead. Merida slightly blushes but keeps a bold attitude.

“Aye, that’s me!” She says proudly with a cute little curtsy. “It’s nice to meet you, you’re, um… godliness?!?!” Sounding unsure how to title the Greek god. But she received an amused chuckle from him.

“Lord Hades,” the god politely corrects her and turns his attention to Raya. “And you’re the new princess in the lineup, right? Raya? I saw you during the Once Upon a Studio bit.”

“Yes, I’m Princess Raya,” she says politely, but it is quite awkward how to talk to a deity. “Nice to meet you, Hades. And you’re quite taller than I imagined you to be when Meg talked about you.” The other girls snicker in amusement, even Hades was amused as well.

“Oh really?! I’m glad Ms. Nutmeg still talks about me after all these years,” Hades chuckles with a smile, but decides to not get sidetracked. “Also isn’t there another new princess with an ‘M’? Wow, the company is killing it with the ‘M’ names.”

“That would be Moana. And we now have a new princess, Asha, she’s not official yet but hopefully, someday she will be,” Belle informs Hades.

“And we will welcome her just like the others, official or not,” Jasmine says sweetly.

“Then would it be okay if I tagged along to meet them?” Hades asks curiously. “It’s not every day where a villain hangs out with a group of princesses.”

The princesses didn’t know whether or not to let him or if it was okay since heroes and villains usually stay separated. Back then they would mingle, but as time passed with new movies and characters, they had grown distant.

Looked around at each other of who should say something for determination. But Isabel shrugs. “I see why not, and if Merlin or Yen Sid have a problem with it, they can bite me for all I care. Besides, it’s not like you’re doing anything wrong, you’re just joining us to hang out and talk.”

“True,” Hades agrees. “And I’ll be a good “widdle villain” if it keeps those two from getting a knot in their beards for me just being there.”

“But what about the other villains? Would they be okay with it too?” Jasmine asks Hades curiously, to which the god also shrugs. “They can bite me too.” Which caused the girls to lightly laugh.

“Alright, you can come hang with us as long as there’s no funny business,” Mulan says nicely. “I’m sure the other princesses have missed seeing you too.”

“Mostly I hope Meg is there. It’s been a while since I have seen her when she started dating Hercules,” Hades admits. “It would be nice if we could catch up.”

*Meanwhile*

In a mini castle secluded from Disneytopia’s main one. The Disney Princesses would be in there to hang out with each other including the non-officials. Currently, in a room secluded from the others’ activities in the main room, Asha was being mentored by Elsa and Elena. She’s also being mentored by The Fairy Godmother since she is one in training, but she was away helping Yen Sid.

Currently, the two older females are helping Asha to learn how to use magic. A stool stood a few feet away from them with a red apple on a plate sitting on top of it. As Asha held her wand firmly, she patiently took her time taking calm, patient measured breaths with her eyes shut. Then Asha opened her eyes, pointing and aiming her wand at the apple.

“Make it green!” She declared. A burst of magic left her wand and hit the apple… only to turn it into a lime much to Asha’s disappointment. Asha sighs in exasperation. “Well, at least you somewhat got it,” Elena says to try to encourage her.

“But I wanted the apple to turn green, not into a different fruit,” Asha explains then gently puts her free hand on her face. “This magic stuff is so hard.”

“And it is,” Elsa agrees with her, comforting her as well with reassurance. “Sometimes magic isn’t an easy start for some people.”

“Oh really?” Asha asks with slight skepticism, moving her hand to look at Fifth Spirit. “Aren’t you the one that made an ice castle under one musical number?” Making Elena giggle because Asha just called Elsa out.

“Um, well, about that,” Elsa says nervously but the door to the room entered and Mirabel came in abruptly.

“I apologize for interrupting anything but Princess Tiana says that breakfast will be ready soon,” the Colombian “princess” politely informs the three. But she notices Asha looking distressed and upset. Mirabel then becomes worried, her sisterly instincts kick in and she enters the room. “Are you okay, Asha?” She asks her in concern.

“Yes and no,” Asha admits with an undertone of frustration. “Just having issues learning magic, it’s harder than it looks.” Then directs toward the apple-turned-lime, sounding a little frantic. “I can’t even change a fruit’s color without it changing entirely.”

“Okay, deep breaths Asha,” Mirabel says sweetly and calmly holds Asha’s free hand. “Here’s some advice from someone in her family who isn’t magically gifted,” Mirabel tells her as she comforts Asha with a calming voice. “You need to let your mind and emotions relax and have patience with yourself and your pacing. You’re putting too much pressure on yourself mentally by worrying and straining your thoughts if you’re doing something right or not.”

Then Mirabel began the story. “When me and my sister Luisa were little, my mama told us the time when Isabela was young and learning how to use her gift. She was so impatient and stressed herself so much that she accidentally created a floral overgrowth in Encanto. She got so worried that Abuela and my mother would be so mad,” Mirabel could see that her story was cheering Asha up.

“Thankfully they were both understanding,” Mirabel continued her story. “Mom was comforting and Abuela says that Isabela made Encanto a lot more colorful that day. But my mama gave my sister some wisdom of her own: like a plant, she must give her blessing time and patience to be neutered and grow. And just like when a rose grows, she will blossom like her blessing and will create wonderful things with it.”

“So, from your story, I must allow my magic to be controlled naturally rather than force. With patience rather than straining myself and putting too much pressure on myself from my expectations?” Asha asks the Colombian.

“Yes, that’s one way to put it,” Mirabel says and picks up the lime. “Eventually you’ll get the hang of it. Accidents come with learning, eventually, you’ll figure out your flow with magic.”

Asha smiles, then points and aims her wand at the lime. Magic shoots out and turns the lime back into an apple, a green one. The girls erupt into a cheer for Asha, a moment of celebration she got it right.

But then the apple multiplies itself into many which causes Mirabel to hurriedly try to collect the fallen fruit. So Asha, Elena, and Elsa pick up the fruit on the ground. “I did not intend for this to happen. I wanted the apple to cut itself into slices, not multiply itself.”

“It’s okay, Asha. Besides, you can do a lot of things with apples,” Elena reassured her nicely.

“Sometimes accidents have their silver lining,” Elsa adds to Elena’s statement. “Including in magic.”

“Well, at least we have enough apples to make an apple pie,” Asha says as she looks at the brighter side. “Tiana will be thrilled.” Then she looks around the room and sees a vase, using her wand, she turns it into a basket to put the apples into, hoping that the vase isn’t an expensive one.

“I’ll take this to the kitchen,” Mirabel says as she takes the full basket from Asha. “Tiana’s going to have a field day with these.” Then she leaves the room. Asha carefully tucks away her wand in a pocket hidden inside her sleeve.

“So Elsa, you haven’t answered my question,” Asha gently prods the snow queen.

“I blame the Disney executives for making my powers look easy,” Elsa explains casually. Elena chuckles humorously before adding her input. “Makes sense, if you had more time like a TV show to develop your powers rather than a few hours, they wouldn’t have to “Mary Sue” you a bit to make the plot go by faster.”

“That’s true,” Asha admits, sounding reasoned by their responses, before pondering. “Makes me wonder how Wish would have turned out if it was a TV show too instead of a movie.”

Then they heard a startled scream and immediately they left the room. What they saw was every princess/queen, except Cinderella, Aurora, Tiana, and Mirabel, looking at the entryway in shock. Princess Eilonwy, Vanellope, and Sofia alongside Alice huddled close to Kida as the Atlantean Queen protected them.

In the entryway stood Hades alongside Belle, Isabel, Merida, Esmeralda, Jasmine, Raya, and Mulan.

“Relax Eilonwy, I’m not gonna take you to the lich if that’s what you’re worried about,” Hades says in annoyance from her scream. “Honestly he’s not a fan of me either so I don’t bother with that guy.”

They couldn’t help but hear ex-Princess Giselle from Andalasia ask Isabel if Hades being here was a good idea. Isabel says she allows it but if Merlin or Yen Sid found out, she didn’t care.

“Who is that?” Asha whispered to Elsa in concern as she leaned a bit toward her, but before the Fifth Spirit answered, the God approached them.

“And you must be Asha!” He says politely. “The name’s Hades, lord of the underworld,” he introduced himself as he held out his hand, to which Asha politely shook it.

“Nice to meet you too but how do you know my name and who I am?” She asks the God in curiosity.

“I saw your film, and I want to give my condolences on your box office failure. The company seems to be slacking on effort and not making good movies like they used to,” Hades tells her. “Take my movie for example, I had many people auditioning to voice me with the same idea in mind: dark, deep, and rumbling. But it took one guy, one different voice that changed everything; my character design, my personality, as well as flipping the script on its head. And I have to admit, watching your movie made me cringe so hard that I wanted to throw it in the deepest darkest parts of Tartarus.”

Then recollection came over Asha, remembering his face now as she sheepishly tucked a strand of her cornrow hair behind her ear from just talking to him. “Oh right, I remember you, Once Upon a Studio. But yes, I don’t blame you, for a movie that was supposed to be a celebration of one hundred years, it fell quite hard on its face,” she admits in embarrassment.

“It could be worse. At least your movie doesn’t have a direct-to-DVD sequel, a TV show, and/or a live-action remake,” Snow pipes up with a slight tinge of annoyance. Hades groans in frustration as he looks at the first princess. “Did you have to bring that one up, Snow?” He asks her before summoning a Greek-styled couch and sitting on it.

The room itself was spacious enough for the couch, despite there already having furniture, designed exactly like the princess’s dressing room from Ralph Breaks the Internet but much larger and with windows as well as hot pink curtains.

“I wouldn’t have to if such things didn’t exist in the first place. Yet sadly they do,” Snow says in honesty, still sounding annoyed.

“I know what you mean, eight years after my film’s release, I’m getting both a sequel and a live-action adaptation,” Moana agrees with Snow White.

Asha looked confused. This is understandable since she’s only eight months into her existence since her movie debut. “What do you mean by that, Snow?” She then asks the fairest princess.

“Well, in the early 90’s. Disney was struggling with competition in the movie industry. With the success of the Winnie the Pooh TV series along with The Little Mermaid and its TV series with Aladdin’s success. They made the first straight-to-DVD movie; Aladdin: Return of Jafar.” Snow explained. “A cheaper movie made which became successful and started a long series of these kinds of movies for over a decade.”

“Yeah, I remember Hook being pissed off about them. Although he was happy that he got one and it was released in theaters, it still didn’t stop his complaining that Michael Eisner was poisoning the company,” Hades chuckles, remembering what happened in the early 2000s.

“He was happy when Princess and the Frog came out but started to become stingy with the CGI. Then when the live-action remakes started coming out along with Frozen 2 and other sequel films planned, the company had relit the fuse to his rage that was snuffed out long ago. And now his anger has resurfaced, saying things like ‘has this company had learned nothing from Eisner’ and ‘if the king was still alive, he would have had none of this’. He said the last bit in the past but it’s still funny that he held that grudge.”

“He was always protective of the king’s vision before his passing. Sadly the company doesn’t seem to care about Walt’s choice of the no sequel rule. Nor the people that helped shape it since numbers of animators are being let go left and right,” Snow says sympathetically. “Nor do they care about us, we’re nothing but marketing tools for them instead of just people.”

Then Snow starts crying a little, she was the first character the king accidentally brought to life in the real world. And the first to be close to the king himself. It was sad that the kingdom that was originally built for joy, fun and entertainment was now a money monarchy compared to the vision that Walt truly wanted kids and adults to have.

Before anything else was said, the door to the kitchen was opened by Mirabel. Out came Cinderella holding three waiter trays with many plates and bowls on top of them. One tray on top of each hand and one on top of her head.

“Let me help you out with that,” Anna says politely and gently takes the tray from on top of Cinderella’s head.

“Thank you, Anna. Be careful, the contents are hot and the plates are heavy,” Cinderella informs her. Then the two placed the trays on the coffee table as Aurora and Tiana carried two trays in each of their hands but Tiana had a third tray on her head as well. But this time, Elsa takes it instead of her sister.

“I don’t know how you and Cinderella can do that without knocking the tray over,” Elsa says in astonishment.

“When you’re living the hard knock life, you got to learn skills to do things that you couldn’t do before. Besides, it strengthens the muscles in the neck and you learn how to balance with patience,” Tiana tells the ice queen.

The princesses took their breakfast dishes from each tray and sat on the furniture to eat. And Anna was reluctant to help Tiana collect the carrying trays. The remaining plates that weren’t taken had Tiana’s stuffed beignets with either fruit or hazelnut chocolate spread or pudding.

“Hello Hades,” Cinderella says politely as she now acknowledges the God in the room with Aurora and Tiana following suit. “What’re you doing here?”

“I came to see the new princesses, somewhat using it as an excuse to not go back to my job even if the underworld runs itself,” Hades explains nonchalantly.

“Then do you want me to make you something? You can help yourself to some of the beignets I’ve made?” Tiana politely asks.

“Oh, you don’t have to, princess,” Hades insists nicely. “I’ll gladly take the beignets.”

The moment was peaceful as she and the other princesses ate together with Hades. As she smiled on the inside while filling her mouth, Isabel felt happy to make Hades feel welcome in the most unexpected places he’d never thought he would be.

Hades summoned a metal plate and a pair of reusable chopsticks. He saw Mulan use her chopsticks to grab a beignet and place it on top of her bowl of congee, so he decided to do the same. Sure, levitation is an option but for once he decided to do something humane and normal.

“So, Hades, have you and the others met King Magnifico?” Asha asks curiously.

“Not yet,” Hades says casually, leaning back on the furniture comfortably before taking a bite of beignet.

“They have been putting it off for a while,” Isabel adds as she gets comfortable sitting between Ariel and Rapunzel. “With the reconstruction of the Villain’s Lair that got destroyed, and Hook being Hook, they haven’t gotten around to it.” Asha then gives Isabel a confused look at the last bit, so Isabel explains.

“He’s protective of the kingdom that Walt build as we mentioned prior. The day that we watched your film, aside from how bad we cringed and with Hook’s banter, he seemed worried about King Magnifico. Sitting on the fence, believing every man deserves a chance but at the same time, King Magnifico is different than the others. He is royalty with sorcery, and a human.”

“And?” Asha says as she doesn’t understand what the deal was. “What’s wrong with that?”

“What Isabel is saying that none of us had a life like King Magnifico’s,” Hades explains as she now takes over for Isabel. “Those of us gifted with powers or not, like moi, were often shunned from society and treated as an outcast or a demonic evil figure. And those that do have magic aren’t human, or aren’t human anymore in Jafar’s case. So to see a normal human man wielding magic and ruling a kingdom while being beloved by his own society, then immediately going crazy because of you, Asha, and try to regain control over the kingdom by force. It raised a lot of red flags for us, because none of the recent CGI villains had gave us any issues until we saw him.”

“So, you’re afraid that he might do the same to you guys?” Asha then asks curiously.

Hades lightly chuckles. “Not afraid, just avoiding unnecessary casualties. But today is the day that we finally introduce King Magnifico to our ranks. We have decided that it would be best to get it over with rather than it never happening and making him feel outcasted from us like he doesn’t belong.”

“Just be careful and don’t do what I did,” Asha confesses. “If I had known what he would be capable of after opening myself to him, I wouldn’t have told him anything just to protect my family.”

“Thanks for the advice but we’re not very touchy-feely like that. Sure we developed a sense of trust within our group and to be open to each other, but not like this,” Hades confesses as he gestures to the many females in the room. “We’re not that open to the new people.”

Which Isabel nodded in confirmation. The villains aren’t very mushy with their feelings compared to the Princesses. They prefer to be open to those that they trust and are close with but they do keep their privacy of thoughts and feelings until they decide to share.

After breakfast, Isabel took a shower and changed into regular clothes. As she and Hades were about to walk out, Isabel’s foster siblings, Rachel and Kairi, entered. They were surprised to see Hades with the princesses.

“Isabel J. Mouse!” Rachel exclaims which Isabel smiles in response.

“Hey Rachel! Hi Kairi! We were just leaving, bye!” Isabel says hurriedly, giving her foster siblings a hug before they left.

“She’s a nutcase,” Kairi laughs which Rachel just nods.

————————————————————-

Hey everyone, this story took a longer time to produce. A previous project had taken up a lot of my time which made me have to rethink my story plans if I don’t want to exhaust myself and give myself writer’s block faster. 🫣

But I have more stories planned for September and October. I just hope work, procrastination and life doesn’t kick my ass about it. Because I want Part Two to be longer and include the villains.

Love you guys! 🫶

Disney Horses

Disney has never tried doing a franchise focused on their equine characters, and I am disappointed. So here is a partial compilation of Disney horses--namely the ones I think would be the most marketable--just in case Disney should ever change their mind on that point and wants a reference guide to which horses they should include in the line.

Major (Cinderella, 1950)

Major is a gray stallion who is temporarily transformed into a coachman for Cinderella's night at the ball.

Samson (Sleeping Beauty, 1959)

Samson is a gray stallion belonging to Prince Phillip. He is shown to be fast and fearless, and he hates distractions and detours.

Captain (101 Dalmatians, 1961)

Captain is a gray draft stallion who lives in the English countryside. He is instrumental in aiding in the rescue of Pongo and Perdita's puppies, and helps provide them with shelter and protection during their trek back to London.

Frou Frou (Aristocats, 1970)

Frou Frou is a flaxen chestnut light draft mare belonging to Madame Adelaide Bonfamille of Paris, France. She is a close friend of Duchess and her kittens. She is the only mare to be prominently featured in a Disney animated feature film with a specific storyline. Fantasia (1940) features a pegasus mare in one of its sequences (the mother of Peter Pegasus).

Philippe (Beauty and the Beast, 1991)

Philippe is a flaxen chestnut Belgian draft stallion who belongs to Maurice and Belle. He is very cautious and skittish, but bravely returns with Belle to the Beast's castle to find her father.

Achilles (The Hunchback of Notre Dame, 1996)

Achilles is a gray warhorse who belongs to Captain Phoebus. He is trained to respond to commands the same way a dog would, and even knows how to sit and heel. He appears to get along with Frollo's Friesian stallion Snowball, despite their owners being on opposites sides.

Pegasus (Hercules, 1997)

Pegasus is a pegasus stallion belonging to Hercules. He is white with a blue mane and tail. Pegasus isn't the most intelligent horse, but he's very loyal and courageous.

Khan (Mulan, 1998)

Khan is Mulan's faithful black stallion. He carries her into battle against the Huns.

Bullseye (Toy Story 2, 1999)

Bullseye is a chestnut stallion who serves as Woody's loyal steed in the children's show that spawned the toy line Woody is part of. In the Toy Story films, Bullseye is Jessie's closest friend and ally.

Buck (Home on the Range, 2004)

Buck is a bay stallion belonging to Sheriff Brown. He is incredibly egotistical and admires the bounty hunter Rico until he learns Rico is working for the notorious Alameda Slim.

Maximus (Tangled, 2010)

Maximus is a light silver Andalusian stallion who loyally serves the Captain of the Guard, acting as both his mount and his right hand man. He is intelligent, brave and fiercely patriotic. He dedicates his life to protecting Princess Rapunzel on all her adventures.

Angus (Brave, 2012)

Angus is a black Shire stallion who serves as Merida's mount and best friend. He has good judgment and hates having to carry Merida into danger, but will do so if the cause is just.

Sitron (Frozen, 2013)

Sitron is a brunblakk (brown dun) fjord stallion who belongs to Prince Hans of the Southern Isles. Despite his owner's sinister nature, Sitron is a polite, friendly horse with fast reflexes and an instinct to protect.

Fidella (Tangled the Series, 2017)

Fidella is a bay draft mare who belongs to Cassandra. She is fast, strong and brave, and Maximus develops a crush on her. Fidella does not come from a feature film, but this list desperately needed another mare.

The Nokk (Frozen II, 2019)

The Nokk is a Scandinavian water spirit tamed by Elsa. It serves as her mount. While it is Elsa's friend and allows her to ride it, it is still very wild and will drown trespassers on the Dark Sea.

Chapter Fifteen

Dean immediately throws his hands up in the air as if he thinks I’m about to whip out a gun on him. “Woah woah hey, wait a second…”

“What are you doing here?” I demand, shocked by the invasion of my personal space. “You can’t just come to my house.”

“Okay, look, you weren’t texting back, I wanted to check that you were okay.”

I stand across from him with my arms crossed. “Well, here I am, I’m fine. What do you want?”

He gives me this loping smile that I’m sure he thinks is very charming and no doubt has practised in the mirror. He leans back against the iron railings. “I thought your housemate was lying when she said you weren’t home.”

“You rang the bell?”

“Yeah and she told me to go away.”

“I’m telling you to go away too.” I snip. “Don’t come to my house.”

He adopts a very concerned expression, his eyebrows pulled together in a frown. “Evie, am I after doing something wrong? You just stopped talking to me after last weekend.”

“You got thrown out of my birthday party for being so fucked up, I didn’t feel comfortable texting you after seeing you like that.”

He sighs and rubs the heels of his hands into his eye sockets. “I know, I know, I messed up, I’ve just been going through a lot lately. I shouldn’t have gone to the party, I just really wanted to be there for you.”

I arch my eyebrow. “Did you.”

“Yes of course! And I know, I know that the present I got you was shite, in fact, it was an insult of a present and like, I got in trouble for stealing it from work and all, it just really wasn’t good enough for you.”

“Well you can have the whiskey back if you want it. I never drank it.”

“Nah you can keep it. I deserved the trouble I got into.” His eyes get really big and soulful. “I’m so sorry, you shouldn’t have to put up with me, or with anybody, who acts like that around you.”

I shift from one foot to the other and try to keep my chin up, hoping that I have the kind of look in my eye that might turn him into stone.

“I have your real present with me, if it’s any consolation.” He says, and I watch him dig through his backpack to produce something flat and square, wrapped in paper. He holds it out to me. “I should have given you this instead of the whiskey, and also, I should have come to the party sober. I won’t ever be like that around you again.”

“It’s alright.”

“It’s not really, you can tell me I’m a dickhead if you want.”

I don’t want to tell him that. Reluctantly I take the present. It’s heavy. “Will I open it in front of you or should I do it later?”

“Whatever suits you.”

So I flip it over and peel the sellotape at the back. He’s done a very neat job of it, like, it’s as though he actually sat down at a table and spent time cutting the paper straight, folding all of the corners into neat, perfect little points. “I have no idea what this might be” I admit. 

“Well I hope that you like it.”

I fold open the paper to reveal a large, square book. “The Art of Mulan.” I read aloud, and then my eyes flick to his. “This is my favourite movie.”

“I know, you told me before.”

“I did tell you… but it must have been ages ago.”

“Yeah it was but I remembered.” His eyes are steady on my face, watchful, even.

I smooth my hand over the cover, bright red with Mulan and her horse Khan in the centre painted in striking black ink, the letters of the title beautifully embossed with gold. Despite myself, I feel my animosity toward Dean begin to thaw, I’ve never been very good at staying angry with anybody. “Thank you.” I say. “This was really nice of you.” 

He shrugs and looks away bashfully. “Ah, well, you know, it was nothing really. When I saw it in the bookshop I thought of you straight away.” 

His words strike an immediate chord with me. He thought of me… But still, I’m on edge around him. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do in a situation like this. I tuck the book under my arm and start throwing glances at the door. “Well.” I begin. “I suppose I should go-”

“So I don’t suppose you want to talk more.” He interjects. “I feel like I have some serious explaining to do.”

I hesitate. “Well, Claire, my housemate and her boyfriend are upstairs. I don’t think they’d be very pleased if I showed up with you.”

A sigh. “Why? Did I make a fool out of myself in front of them too?”

I shrug and he puts his face in his hands. “Oh Christ. I’m actually such a bloody mess sometimes, that’s so embarrassing.”

“It’s alright, it wasn’t that bad, they’re just… a bit protective of me.” He keeps his face buried and I reach out to touch his arm in a stilted gesture of comfort. “Don’t worry about it Dean, honestly, it wasn’t a big deal.”

“You don’t think so?”

“No, like not at all. It’s whatever. I was probably just being too sensitive.” 

He drops his hands and makes a sad face. “I understand if you don’t want to talk to me.”

“I do.”

“Really?”

“Really. We can hang out, I just can’t really let you come in. Why don’t we go to the park instead?”

“Okay.” He says. “As long as you don’t mind the cold too much.”

“I don’t mind.” I promise. “Let’s do that, come on.” As we head down the snowy streets together I steal a quick glance up at the windows of the apartment, just in case somebody might be watching us go.

DCA Info Part 41: Meet Ru Khan 🐴

Twisted from: Khan from Mulan (1998)

Ru Khan (ル・カーン, Ru Kān) is a 1st year student affiliated with the Dragonstone dorm.

History

Ru was born and raised in an eastern village, but her family constantly moves from place to place due to business and other circumstances. When she was around 5 to 7 years of age, she moved to the town of Harveston. Ru used to play with the kids in her previous homes, but the only friend she fondly remembers is Epel who she played rough with from time to time. At some point in her life Ru moved again, this time to the Sunset Savannah and was left in the care of her uncle and grandmother at a noodle shop they run while her parents looked for work in the city. Despite the fact that Ru's parents come home late she understands their circumstances. She is homeschooled and often has to help her uncle run the business. They live in a place with open fields and quite far from the city, but it was a walk away from a slum area where Ruggie resides.

Personality

Ru is rather bold and won't hold back in what she thinks of people, but she won't blindly say it when it starts a fight. Ru calculates when she can say her harsh truth. When someone wants to fight, she would always start it with an agreement, asking them if they REALLY want to fight, usually the opponent backs off when she dares them. She has this sense of courage where she will outright fight anyone who dares to mess with her. It was normal in the towns she previously resided in but her mom always tells her to just tell an adult, while her uncle and grandmother ask her if she won.

She hopes to make life better for her family so that her parents don't have to work in a faraway place. Though she finds it difficult to follow etiquette and being feminine.

Appearance

Ru has fair skin, green eyes and black hair with a white streak in it and is commonly kept in a braid. She also has a "tail" of black hair behind her. A pair of horse ears can be seen on her head.

First School Uniform

Ru wears a black tunic with a green outline and red string and gem details. The tunic is worn over a brown top with the sleeves having black cuffs. She also wears green pants, white stockings, and a pair of black flat shoes with gold soles.

Ru accessorizes with a red flower hairpiece with a maroon gem in the center and a green sash with the gold circular buckle having the Japanese Kanji for the word horse "馬".

Second School Uniform

Ru’s ensemble is more flowy and while she looks tough, she has some sense of class because of her braid.

Ru’s ensemble consists of a muted green tunic with the top portion having a black collar outline and three red bow shaped knot buttons while the bottom of the tunic has flowy pants that resemble a skirt. Over the tunic is a dark gray vest with black trim and under the tunic is a brown top with black cuffs. For footwear, Ru wears a pair of black flat shoes with white leggings.

Ru accessorizes with a red flower hairpiece with a maroon gem in the center with a red ribbon shaped knot with a tassel underneath, a red necklace with a gold coin shaped pendant and a black sash.

School Statistics

Ru is classified as Student #12 and is in Class 1-D. She is a member of the Horse Grooming Club and her best subject and favorite subject is Marathon Run due to her constant need for running in the wind. Her least favorite school subject is Basic Etiquette due to having no sense of grace due to her upbringing.

Relationships

Family

Ru appears to have good relationships with her various family members and even assists her uncle with farm work or making noodles.

Pet

Ru has two pets. A Silkie Hen named Bailong and a Ferghana Horse named Cheung. They were gifted to her when her uncle won a horse during a fair and the hen was won by her grandmother from mahjong gambling match with one of the neighbors. Bailong likes to chill on places and is overall quiet while Cheung is rather energetic and is in tune with Ru's emotions, he can always tell what she's feeling.

Night Raven College Students

Ru was a childhood friend of Epel and fondly remembers the time she spent with him.

Powers and Abilities

• Magic: Like her fellow students, Ru can do magic.

• Speed: Due to having the attribute of a horse, it’s safe to assume that Ru is very fast.

• Cooking: Due to Ru often helping her uncle out either with farm work or with making noodles, she developed a talent for cooking noodles. Though she prefers to make dumplings since they're easier to make.

Unique Magic

Ru's unique magic is called "Bronco Stampede" (名馬の強さ/ブロンコ・スタンピード, Buronko Sutanpīdo; lit. “Strength of the Great Horse”). When in use, she gains a strength boost and speed boost for a short period of time. Whenever she uses it, her arms and legs glow jade green with runes.

Trivia

• Her birthday is on May 17th, making her a Taurus.

• She is 175 cm tall.

• Her favorite foods are ramen and other similar noodle based dishes as well as dumplings while her least favorite food are garlic and onions. She dislikes fancy restaurants and thugs.

• She enjoys running in an open field, eating noodle based dishes and roughousing.

• Her preferred Styling Jewel Outfit Styles are Cultural and Cool.

• For her casual attire, she would wear athletic clothing since it allows for more movement and track shoes.

• She is dubbed "Little Seahorse" (タツノオトシゴちゃん, Tatsunōtoshigo chan) by Floyd due to her horse attribute despite seahorses ironically being slow.

• She likes running through a fields occasionally.

• In the future, she would be a professional athlete.

• In terms of desserts, she favors traditional eastern desserts.

• She would smell like freshly picked produce.

• Her signature scent would be a metallic smell with a hint of dust from training.

Every time an update comes out, I'm always eager to see what will happen next. I also always wonder what other characters, companions, realms, and other things could be added to the game, it always keeps the excitement going whenever I think that. I only hope that it keeps living up the expectations and does a good job expanding the world of Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Top 5 animated horses?

ohhhh ho ho ho 🤠😈🤠😈🤠😈

Khan from Mulan! I adore black horses, and I love love love how he's stylized in the movie! I can't find any info on if this was intentional or not, but his design & anatomical proportions remind me of Han Gan's drawings of horses, which is such a cool detail!! Plus I loved the movie Mulan, it's been ages since I've seen it but this guy has stuck in my memory since childhood, and imo being memorable is a quality of excellent excellent character design :D

2. The Horse with a Blue Circle Around His Eye from Spirit! Again! Character Design!! I remembered this horse!!! For years!!! Whoever came up with the idea of giving him a blue circle around his eye i love you <3

3. The Rest of the Horses from Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron but Especially Spirit, Esperanza, and Rain! They.... and also.,.,.,Them :))))))))))

4. Angus from Brave! I love draft horses and I love black horses and I love this horse <3 <3 <3 A Lad if I've ever seen one :)

5. Scarlet from Horseland, okay i'm going to be honest. I never watched horseland, I don't know what it's about, I know nothing about this horse, I've never met this horse. But as a wee horsegirl who loved to browse the aisles of my local Books-A-Million, I remember there was a spring when the Horseland books (which I also never read) were displayed everywhere and I specifically remember this horse bc I loooooove black horses and so she makes it onto the list bc again. Memorable <3 Also her red mane highlights look sick and i love them and i love her

OPEN MULAN STARTER

➳જ⁀➴ THE SEASONS HAD CHANGED QUICKLY and Jack Frost had visited. Bringing along with him Winter and all that came with it. A thin layer of snow blanketed the once green grass and beautiful plant life. Everything had either died for the season, or was had fell into a deep sleep. Sleep-- That reminded the warrior of her friend Aurora. Mulan couldn't help but ponder how her friend and the prince were doing. Those thought quickly disappeared, as Mulan gently pulled Khan to a stop. The warrior was dressed in thick fur lined robes and armor to help fight off Jack Frost's winter. Khan had a few extra blankets over his back to help him stay warm as well. "We should rest for a little Khan." She motioned to Khan leading him to the small creek she'd stopped them by, that wasn't frozen over so he could get a drink.

Mulan had been gathering wood on their venture so once they stopped she could easily start a warm fire. That's just what she did; building the wood up in a pile so she could light it. This took a few minutes, but once the fire was going she pulled out the food she had in one of Khan's saddle bags and started making it. The warrior had slipped off her helmet to let her long raven hair down, her helmet had shielded her face from the cold breeze that rested in the air. Her cheeks quickly turning red from the cold and a shiver running through her body. At that moment Khan grabbed one of his blankets off his back with his mouth and drapped it over his mistresses shoulders. "Khan-- thank you." She smiled at the horse how now laid himself down behind his mistress to help keep the two warm while he grazed on the grass around them.

@slacker413 Could you get your man out of my mailbox before I unalive him with my hooves like a rancher cutting a snake in half with a shovel
