For Michael Keaton fans.
Pushing my fanfic
Baby, Mine on AO3.
When he came to The Medici Family Circus seeking the truth about a flying baby elephant, tycoon and impresario V.A. Vandevere had no idea he'd become fascinated with its trainer, 18-year-old Milly Farrier, an obsession he doesn't welcome. Milly, determined to go against her father's wishes and become a scientist, is equally struck by the smooth, suave, cunning owner of Dreamland, but doesn't trust him. And rightfully so. Neither wants to give the other the upper hand, but both need each other to secure their futures by making Dumbo a sensation. If lust doesn't get in the way. This is another version of the 2019 film, so many of the film's events happen in this, though changed. It's NOT an RPF: This is based on the characters, NOT the actors who play them.

"Dumbo 2019," back before the world went nuts.
I'm experiencing some Dumbo live action nostalgia, because that year was a fun one for me.
Before I even saw the movie, and inspired only by the novelization and a few commercials, I created a new Ship: Villy (V.A. Vandevere + Milly Farrier aged up to 18), and was writing a long, slow-burn fic:
Baby, Mine of AO3, plus others.
I met a lot of great Dumbo fans here *waves at @victorianwestpiano * (who also writes Dumbo fics on Archive)
Even with all its flaws, and it has a lot, I enjoyed the new Dumbo. Especially since the stage design and costuming are magnificent. I only wish the script had been as good as how it looked.
Posting these with a happy-sad sigh with the memory of how fun the fandom was, but how everything went to nuts in 2020.

Thank you!!
They’re wonderful!!
OMG I love their expressions!!
I think the Ebenezer Scrooge hair on V.A. is great!  (I’ve never seen that version of “Christmas Carol.”  Scrooge is actually good looking for once!)
Thank you so much!!
For my mutuals who don’t know what this is about, this is my other fanfic Ship:
Baby, Mine on AO3.
Almost forgot, I had drawn some Fanart for @vavandeveresfan I will need to do more of this ship and others from her works.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I know that V.A’s hair isn’t on par with the actual design, that’s my fault I couldn’t get it right so I went with another grumpy old man, Ebenezer Scrooge from the Netflix’s A Christmas Carol. Hope you don’t mind.))

V.A. Vandevere & Gabriel Agreste have the same vibe.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gabriel’s house looks like it could be in Dreamland.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They both love Art Deco.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Both have a lair with a huge round window.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Both have two sidekicks/minions, one who’s the brains and one who’s the brawn.  Both brawns don’t talk much.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And both, whether canon likes it or not, are head over heels mad for a much younger woman.

V.A. about the Slow Burn in “Where the Sea Meets the Sand.”
Tumblr media
Thank you so much to those who’ve read it!  I worried that I was just repeating myself -- “Oh look, yet another time he holds her from behind and they get hot and then Milly suddenly gets mad at him.”  But I just went with it, and I’m happily relieved you didn’t find it repetitive!  Or you did but didn’t mention it. ;-)
I think it’s good that I’m taking my time with finishing Baby, Mine, because hopefully it will clear out what I’ve already done so that I can write something fresh.  Nothing is worse than writing the same sex scene over and over (which I think I did in my Beetlejuice fics).
Right now I’m busy writing a Christmas short story for a children’s magazine (1000 words or less!!), so I’ll have to put images of horny V.A. and Milly aside. :-)
I hope all of you aren’t suffering from the horrible heat and floods and earthquakes and monkey pox and whatever other fun things are threatening us.

“Where the Sea Meets the Sand,” a short Villy fic.
Here on AO3.
After reading a scathing gossip column about entertainment impresario V.A. Vandevere, Milly Farrier tries to think alone at night on the beach of Dreamland's ocean Boardwalk.  When V.A. finds her she tries to convince him, and herself, that she hates him.  V.A. is equally determined to convince her otherwise.
An unofficial scene for Baby, Mine, set perhaps at the end of Chapter 6
Tumblr media
Many thanks to those who read it. :-)

That’s also true of my other Ship, Villy,  V.A. Vandevere + Milly Farrier age 18, from Disney’s live action Dumbo.
Baby, Mine on AO3.
*siiigh*  What is it about hot older male villains with silver hair and walking sticks?

So I . .  . kinda wrote a Villy fic.
Tumblr media
I’ve been stressed and needed a fandom to escape.  I dipped into Miraculous Ladybug, which lead me to discovering my favorite kind of Ship: Older man + younger woman.
I saw some fanart of Ladybug and Hawk Moth
Tumblr media
and it made me jealous for my Ship.
I miss V.A. and Milly.
Tumblr media
I suddenly started writing a short fic.
I had no idea what the plot was going to be, no idea where it was going, it just came outta me nonstop.
It’s sort of a scene for Baby, Mine.  It doesn’t really fit in, but I imagine it happened the evening of Chapter 7.
I’m going to post it to AO3 tomorrow.

Older Man/Younger Woman romance books.
Someone asked if I ever wanted to write Baby, Mine as a novel to submit to publishers.
Of course I can’t use it as is, because that’d be copyright infringement.
But have I thought of changing names and circumstances and making it my own and then submitting it?
Tumblr media
But because of the online frothing-at-the-mouth hatred toward the Older Man/Younger Woman trope, I didn’t know if traditional Romance publishers were open to it.  I’ve never read the genre, so I know nothing about it.  Would they think it’s “creepy” and about “p*dophiles,” even if the female protagonist is 18 or older?
Turns out Older Man/Younger Woman trope is a Romance favorite!  Here’s just one of several Romance Novel blogs with a list of recommendations:  Reader Recommendations – Our favorite "Older Man, Younger Woman" romance books.
Someday, after I’ve written all the WIPs already on the list (it’s long!!) I may try to adapt Baby, Mine somehow.
Of course, I’d love to write a YA novel for Disney Books about 17-year-old Milly being hired by V.A. Vandevere for some new project -- like the A Twisted Tale Collection series they already have.  But unfortunately they’d never let me include smut.  And what fun is that?  ;-)

I can't believe it's been 5 years! Half a decade! Happy 5th anniversary, Dumbo! (This is a very good tribute, especially having done it on your cellphone!)
I too still love this movie, flaws and all. If only Tim Burton had made this a mini series! He'd have had the time and space to leave in all the good parts cut from the script (which are in the novelization).
This was the first time I ever saw Colin Farrell and Eva Green, and it was a great introduction. Michael Keaton was marvelous chewing up the scenery; he'd never done a character like this before, and he was great.
The production design and costumes deserved Oscar nominations. I'm very pissed that it didn't get any. Dreamland is an amazing creation of imagination. I wish it were real!
I miss my Ship (Villy: V.A. Vandevere x Milly Farrier age 18). I still want to finish my fanfic, but I have other things I need to write! Someday, perhaps . . .
Baby, Mine on AO3.

So, 5 years since this movie came out. And I still love it, even if I can't express it with words. ;)

I wish I could've done a better 5 year aniversary tribute but I dont have my laptop with me right now so just doing it with my cellphone.
Happy 5th year aniversary Dumbo 2019 and happy Good Friday to all of you!

Hello!
I read about your asks being open, so I immediately decided to go here~
I do hope I won't be the reason you will regret opening them though xD
Here is what I'm curious about: how did you find out about Gabrinette and why did you start shipping it? 👀
You're definitely NOT any reason why I'd regret opening Asks! Quite the opposite!
This video was the very first time I ever saw of Miraculous Ladybug & Cat Noir. I stumbled across it on YouTube in early June 2022. I was searching for songs from the Tangled animated series and saw this on the sidebar. I'd never heard a thing about it before.
Just judging by this, and since this doesn't show Hawk Moth at all, I thought Ladybug was the hero and the Cat was the villain. I thought Cat was something like a Cat Burglar -- hence his casing out the art museum -- and Ladybug had to keep stopping him. But every now and then they reluctantly worked together to defeat bigger and badder villains. Meanwhile, their real life personas went to school together, and Marinette didn't know she was crushing on her nemesis.
Just before finding Ladybug I was writing for a Ship I created, from the 2019 live action Dumbo. I called it Villy: Milly Farrier, the daughter of the hero, and V.A. Vandevere, the villain. I aged Milly up to 18.
V.A. is an older, rich, silver-haired, famous impresario with an ascot and a walking stick. I guess you could call that my Thing. ;-)
Tumblr media
When I first saw Gabriel Agreste and Hawk Moth I was stunned by the parallels with V.A.. I watched MLB episodes on YouTube, and quickly started Shipping Gabriel + Marinette. Soon after that I found Gabrinette fanvids and fanart
I think this was the first Gabrinette fanart I ever saw! Still love it so much!
Tumblr media
Anyway, that's how I got hooked! Thank you for Asking! And I love your blog! :-D

I should have mentioned, I read the junior novelization of Dumbo, which is based on the script as it used to be, months before I saw the movie.  It’s much, MUCH better than the movie!  It gets much more into the minds of all the characters, and gives V.A.’s backstory.
After reading the book the movie was a big disappointment.  I heard from some cast members there was a lot cut out.  I wish it’d been a TV mini series like Wednesday so Burton would have left in a lot more.
This is just to let you know that, should you decide to watch Dumbo, to not get your hopes up.  Visually it’s magnificent!  The costumes, the sets, everything looks so incredible!  But it’s heavily flawed.  Most of Keaton’s scenes as V.A. are good.  I just wish they’d left in more so he’d have been properly fleshed out.
Thanks for the Ask!

Villy AU (V.A. Vandevere x Milly Farrier age 18) .
No one left who likes this Ship, but I'll reblog it anyway for nostalgia's sake.
Villy as an 80s movie: A Gif Fic.
(A’ la Flashdance, but with a circus.)
When Milly Farrier arrived at college, the “circus girl” wasn’t welcome.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She was determined that nothing would get in her way.  Her life centered around classes, not partying, not dating.
Tumblr media
Her professor invited a guest lecturer for the entire semester.  V.A. Vandevere.  Some billionaire I.T. nerd, there to “inspire” them to “achieve.”  Milly wasn’t impressed.
Tumblr media
One day …
Tumblr media
After classes, Vandevere asked to speak with Milly alone.
“Am I too boring to hold your attention?” he asked, dryly.
“No,” she replied, equally dryly.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He did.  Every night, including weekends.  Their conversations zeered from what was covered in class to anything and everything.
Her Dad told her to give up this stupid dream of being a scientist and to train for the circus.
Tumblr media
She knew what he really didn’t like was V.A.’s attention.
Tumblr media
Usually Milly Zoomed from the dining room.  Tonight, her Dad and brother Joe were at a movie.  She took her laptop to her room.  She couldn’t wait till V.A. came online.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Take off your glasses,” Milly asked.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
She hadn’t meant him to see that much.
Or maybe she had.
V.A. stammered and said he had things to do, and was gone.
He didn’t Zoom her.  He ignored her in class.  Despairing, Milly gave up.
Two weeks later, Vandevere came into the Student union to get coffee, because the coffee machine in the professors’ lounge was broken.
And she was there.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
V.A. had no idea whether she’d spotted him or not.
That evening, he whined to his butler, Sotheby.
Tumblr media
The doorbell rang.  After answering it, Sotheby told him,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It was raining, so he didn’t see right away who it was standing on the steps, under the elegant awning.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fifteen minutes later …
Tumblr media
V.A. took her to his exclusive club, The Question Mark.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
After dinner, they returned to Vandevere Manor.  Milly said she had a surprise for him.
It was one hell of a surprise.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The next morning, she ignored her father’s repeated texts.
Tumblr media
Reluctantly, V.A. had to leave on business.  He was still giddy with shock and love.
Tumblr media
So was Milly.
Tumblr media
The End.
