This is incredibly random but I rewatched Hairspray today and did I just fall in love with a character called corny collins 🤣 😂 but seriously though James Marsden is so pretty I may have to go watch everything he's ever been in, I don't understand how disney hasn't cast him as a knight in shining armour, I haven't seem him in many things but even his characters seem so pure and lovely like corny collins, tom wachowski aka donut lord, Richard from superman returns maybe I'm projecting his characters' qualities onto him (and his face certainly helps 🤣) but I now have the opinion that this man is an angel 😇

AHHHH girl, I will gush over James Marsden with you ANY DAY. I am surprised it took you so long to discover him, and via Hairspray of all places. (LOL.) But I happily welcome you to the James Marsden Appreciation Club, and would gladly point out the other places you could enjoy the glory that is him.

I LOVE THAT LITTLE BEAN. Let me count the ways:

James Marsden Appreciation Post

He has been around forever, but he has consistently come off as a sweet guy both on and off screen.

He has such an underrated pretty face, with lovely bone structure and blue eyes. He could totally pass for an Tolkien Elf with that bone structure. (Controversial fancast, if James were younger: Eärendil??) And his smile... oh that smile... it's pure sunshine.

If you've seen the right movies of him, he's actually so freakin' talented; he can handle heavy roles as well as goofy comedy.

He does not take his career too seriously. He has done a LOT of work in kids' movies, and celebs who take on projects for kids have a special place in my heart. (e.g. Hop, Sonic, My Little Pony, and I even heard he's gonna be in the next Paw Patrol movie)

Disney has made him a prince: Prince Edward from Enchanted-- and he did it so wonderfully too! I loved him more than the "real" leading man, Patrick Dempsey.

You nailed it by saying most of his characters are so pure; it's true for most of the stuff I've seen from him, and I think it's just because of the aura he gives off. He is also known as being the "guy who never gets the girl", due to his roles as the jilted lover in "Superman Returns" and "The Notebook".

If you want to swoon, watch "The Best of Me" (Nicholas Sparks adaptation)--too cheesy for my taste, but it was worth it to see James in a romantic lead (and showing off his muscles--haha!)

He played one of my favorite superheroes--Scott Summers aka Cyclops from the X-Men! Unfortunately, imho they did a piss-poor job on his character, and really did him dirty in favor of Wolverine. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed seeing him in that role.

He has such adorkable comedic charm. I'm not a fan of stoner comedies, so I haven't seen those works of his, but he did Seasons 6-7 of 30 Rock, where he was utterly adorkable.

The man can SING. Like, seriously blow your socks off SING. He showed it off clearly in Hairspray and in Enchanted. I would love to see him in more musicals or Disney animated films. Please watch link below for proof.

James is the only reason why I am tempted to watch Westworld, despite hearing that it could be too depressing/dark for my taste. I also want to check out Jury Duty, his most recent tv work.

Any other James lovers, please feel free to chime in regarding thoughts or anything I might have missed! <3

Lost my Fear of Flying

Warnings: 18+... None(?), I go into a lot of detail about a dress that doesn't exist

Edward has no qualms about spoiling his queen to be, whether it be with pretty dresses or even prettier words.

Song: Parachute by James Durbin

She's not used to it. The expensive gowns, the extravagant decor, the castle staff, completely committed to waiting on her hand and foot.

No, Cas is out of her element and absolutely terrified to touch anything.

She sits on the bed in a silk robe, staring helplessly into the T.A.R.D.I.S.-like closet full of far too expensive looking dresses.

She'd politely sent the maids away, feeling awkward under their attention, but now she doesn't know what to do. Sure, she could manage to get one on if she tried but that's just it, she's afraid to try.

What if she ruins one?

She's briefly pulled from her thoughts by a knock at the door.

"Cassandra, my love? You didn't come down for breakfast, are you alright?" Edward asks.

"Oh, I- I'm fine!"

It's quiet for a moment, "May I come in?"

"Um, yes?" Her voice is unsure, but he doesn't notice.

"If you'd like, I can have one of the servers bring you something here- you're not dressed."

Her eyes drop to the floor, sudden anxiety eating at her.

"My dear, are you sure you're not ill?" He hurries to her side and takes her hand, "I can call you a doctor."

"No, no I'm fine I just... It's just a lot for me," she plays with his hands and motions back at the David's Bridal in the next room, "All of this."

He let's go of her hand to curl his finger under her chin and raise her gaze back to him.

"Tell me how I can help."

She hesitates for a moment, "Help me pick out something to wear?"

"Is that all?" He smiles, not teasingly, but happy that he can actually help with, "Any dress should be honored to have you wearing it, come with me."

He pulls her to her feet and steps into the closet that is nearly bigger than her studio apartment back in New York.

"What would you prefer to wear?" He asks as he pushes different fabrics aside, "Something like this?"

He holds out a silver gown that shimmers from top to bottom with countless crystals and far too many layers of tulle to be comfortable for daily wear.

She giggles and he frowns, "Do you not like it?"

"It's beautiful, but, maybe something a little more... simple?" She suggests, "Not only does look more expensive that my car, but I would be a walking disco ball, blinding everyone as I walk by."

"Simple... simple..." he mutters to himself as he haphazardly rummages through the dresses, "This one!"

He rips the hanger from the rack and shows off a pale pink gown.

"The color would really bring out your eyes," He grins.

He steps her in front of a mirror and holds it to her body, looking utterly gleeful to be helping her.

"Are... are you sure it's okay I wear this?"

He looks at her, head cocked like a confused puppy, "Of course, my love, it was made for you after all."

He waits until she takes it from him and presses it to her chest, playing with the skirt in her reflection.

"Shall I call a handmaiden to help you dress?"

She looks up at him through the mirror, cheeks warm as she nods.

Once she's properly fitted in it, she realizes how well the bodice is fitted to her, how the soft, blush colored satin complements her complexion. And her eyes have never looked bluer.

She's enamored by the simple tulle overlay and sleeves, the ends of which and queen anne neckline are lined with little lace honeybee appliques.

She let's out a small squeal when she spins and the dress flutters around her.

As soon as Edward sees her walking towards him across the throne room, he's completely awestruck.

Her white oxford heels click against the stone floor and the long trumpet sleeves flow elegantly behind her like wings. Her hair, curled at the ends, bounces with every step.

Whatever conversation he had been having a moment ago is gone from his head as he strides over to meet her.

His arms encircle her waist as soon as she's in reach, spinning them in vortex of tulle and glitter.

He sighs happily when she kisses his nose before he sets her down.

"I knew you would look divine in this," He takes her hand and raises his arm to give her one last twirl before pulling her close, "But words fail to describe how beautiful you truly are."

She runs her fingers through his hair, hand settling on his cheek as she raises to her toes to kiss him.

He's somehow smiling wider when she pulls away.

"We should be dancing. There should be music!" He exclaims and as if by magic, the faint sound of strings begins to fade in, "Shall we dance the night away, dear Cassandra."

"It's still morning, Edward" she teases.

"Then we shall dance the day away as well!" He laughs, falling in step with the romantic melody surrounding them, guiding her with him by hand and hip.

Round 1, Poll 7: Prince Edward VS Josh Chan

[princess-ibri]

Queen Narissa Villainess Backstory!

Been waiting till after Disenchanted to do this one incase it gave me any new information I could use to craft a backstory for her and it did! Along with some ideas for a backstory for Giselle!!

Born Nora Ladon

Originally from Our World, was a secretary in 1970s New York

Was dissatisfied with her lot and wanted a more magical life, where she had real opportunity for advancement and maybe even love

Started getting into magic, and eventually met a real magical user, someone who had crossed over from Andalasia/The Everrealm in the past into Our World, who provided her with magical training and knowledge of how to get to Andalasia 

There she changed name to Narissa, the name of a sea nymph in mythology, as tribute to her water based abilities 

(I headcanon that all humans who use magic are naturally drawn to one of the four elements as a base from which they can use magic)

Narissa used her magical talents and beauty to enter into court life as the Royal Magical Advisor to the King and Queen of Andalasia

During this time she discovered Queen Grimhilde's secret lair beneath the castle and started learning Dark Magic from her spell books to further her ambitions 

(Andalasia is Snow White's kingdom in my personal canon)

Eventually she fell in love with a young knight of the court named Albrecht, but though he cared for her his heart was already falling for another, a beautiful forest nymph called Myrthe

The two wed in secret to hide from Narissa's wrath, and had a child, a daughter called Giselle

Albrecht hid his wife and daughter in a house he's built for them around Myrthe's tree

But Narissa discovered the pair and exacted her vengeance upon them

Myrthe managed to save Giselle with the help of the local animals, who hid her, and later raised her in the tree house after Albrecht and Myrthe demise

All that was left of their souls joined together to create the memory tree that grew next to their old home, preserving and tending to their daughter's memories as she grew

Narissa, now fully committed to darkness, decided to move up in the world once more, determined to become Queen of Andalasia 

She slowly got rid of the royal family on by one,  a sudden sickness here, an accident with a dragon there

She only kept Edward alive as he's a true son of Andalasia,and  had access to Andalasian magic in a way that she, a person born of Our World, could never have. She used this connection he had to "feed" off him to gain extra power in her own spells, as well as using this extra magic/magic draining  to keep him innocent and compliant

She fears Edward getting married as she knows that if he gets True Love's Kiss it will break the spells she's created to use him.

When she realizes who Giselle is, the daughter of the man she she felt betrayed her , she has extra incentive to get rid of her, both from petty jealousy and as she knows that Giselle possess inherent magic as well as the Daughter of a Nymph, (which is how she can create musical numbers and talk to animals still in Our World) and so could be a powerful rival if she learned to use her magic intentionally 

This is also why she wants Edward to come back to Andalasia alive. So she can continue using him as a power boost. 

This is also the reason Narissa can't create any more poisoned apples once those three are used, she's become too dependent on using Edward and with him gone her magic is weakening. She starts to draw on him again in Our World, which is how she can transform into a dragon, but she over exerts her stores, and as Edward is fighting back against her finally and Giselle is as well, unknowingly using her  own magic, Narissa is eventually drained and this is why she disintegrates into nothing. 

I wanted to give Narissa more of a personal reason to hate Giselle/give Giselle a backstory that better linked her to the villain and the  fairytale she originally came from in the movie (as well as some nods to the Ballet which shares her name). Plus it adds some extra in story weight to Narissa calling Giselle "the one who started it all", rather than just a call back to Snow White

Also made her mother a Nymph based on these early concept drawings for Giselle

I like to think this is what her mother looked like and she gets her red hair from her father
