#Sefu

[leoneliterary]

Read the RO list after starting chapter 2 and fell in agony because Sefu wasn't on the list

I know right?!

He almost was, but for the sake of the plot (and my sanity because I'd have to make both of the twins ROs and that would be so many...) he and Sefu won't be love interests for this story.

But remember I mentioned that a story set in the same world as Honor Amongst Thieves will have them as ROs. That's already jotted down.

Is there anything specific that you really love about your ocs?

Thank you so so much for asking this? First, I'm honored and incredibly appreciative of you for asking. And second, you really got me thinking about what I *do* love about them and why I continue to explore them even after 11 months of being in this fandom space.

So this is going to seem like a generic, generalized response, but it is something that applies to all of them.

I really love how each of my OCs, at least in my perspective, very very clearly can be traced back to their source materials while simultaneously being their own characters.

Starting with Oisín, Oisín from the get go was always meant to align both with "The Headless Horseman" and also dullahan mythology (specifically Irish and Scottish folklore). And yet, because of the way they evolved and the way I developed them in alignment with the narrative of "Twisted Wonderland", they became their own being. --- idk if folks even knew this. I never set out to have them shipped with Lilia. It entirely developed naturally and on its own. And it has turned into arguably my favorite ship out of all of them. The Headless Horseman??? Married to a Vampire???? Incredible. Amazing. 10/10

Then you have Kingsley and like... he is so at his core the Horned King, and every which way you look at his narrative, even his character development? It aligns itself in the way that the narrative of the "Chronicles of Prydain" unfolds. Even when he has his seige on the castle, it feels on par with the actions of the Horned King or any of the other antagonists from the series. His temperment and his personality? 100% - and yet his choices are his own. His narrative is his own. He gets the Cauldron. He gets to KEEP the Cauldron. Its HIS. Not Tarran's!!!!!

René, Rémi, and Eve are so painfully the main trio of "Swan Lake" (the ballet). And yet René's entire narrative and personality is contingent on a question that the ballet NEVER answers or even considers: "Who is Odile without Rothbardt?" And so the Odile we get in NRC, René, is my interpretation of who Odile would be when alone. How she would act if functioning on her own and without the evil magician. So sure, René is Odile. But René also is René. And only René.

Emil holds an incredibly special place in my heart where this theme is concerned. I don't think many people are aware of the anti-semitism in "Tangled". So when I thought of the idea of a Dame Gothel expy, I went in with the idea of creating a Gothel who just was Jewish coded but not a charicature. I incorporated elements from the original Rapunzel tale, the adaptation of "Into the Woods", "Tangled", and added flavor in the form of jewish beliefs and jewish customs. It's resulted into a character who is very very clearly Gothel in his narrative and in his personality and in his relationships, but he isnt restricted by the narrative or characterization as depicted by Disney. He has grown beyond that just like the beanstalk that ended up in his bestie's backyard. Also-- his Overblot? Chef's kiss.

Xiáng is ESPECIALLY fun here. Because when I originally created him, I didn't have a Disney character in mind. He showed up an amalgamation of different ideas and themes from stories I've read recently that I really enjoyed. And then @inmateofthemind popped into my DMs and asked me if Xiáng was twisted from Crikee from "Mulan". And I sat there. And i looked at all the drawn comparisons. And i couldn't deny.... the parallels were to strong not to lean into it. And the more I leaned into it? The more and more he showed himself to BE Crikee. And yet he so ISNT!!!!!! It's honestly so fun.

Sefu is also really fun, because they came from a rewatch of Lion King 2: Simba's Pride with @ramshacklerumble . And I honestly just gave myself permission to take the idea of Zira and REALLY LEAN into the yandere, creepy territorial fan aspect of her character. It also gave me the opportunity to explore how I personally think Zira's dynamic with Scar looked like, based on the implications set out by the film. We never get to see it in the media, which means that Sefu does have the opportunity to expand beyond the scope of Disney, and I do get to determine how much Leona actually can't stand them lol.

Alphonse too is such a fun one. Because his source material depicts the Wellies as incredibly static and yet emotionally driven characters, I get the opportunity to explore the question "What would allow the Wellies (from "Giselle" the ballet) to actually move on and rest in the after life?" It's also a fun opportunity to explore the very blurred lines between fae and ghosts in older Anglo/Irish folklore, as the Wellies were supposed to be inspired by the Otherfolk.

If you're still reading this- thank you so much for sticking around?? Genuinely, I appreciate it and I hope you enjoyed the read. If you want more specific details about any of the things mentioned, please don't hesitate to ask!

i dunno yall, but i ship Sefu and Aegon (yes i will ignore the fact that he doesnt cheer when male mc does strip at the hall, yes i think Aegon is just being a tsundere), just cuz the silly nickname Sefu calls him, Aggy aaaaawwwwwwwww

Sefu:

Aegon:

Meanwhile, "Aggy" was totally foreshadowing something.

There are two albums more significant than others I'd say on Laura's 30 years of career. Obviously Laura who has broken every record in Italian Music business with her songs, albums and performances and rightfully so, the best international career move she made was to start recording in Spanish in 1994.

The Spanish debut released in 1994 - included the most important songs of Laura's two Italian albums. The love was instant - back in the 90's it went on selling more than any foreign artist in Spain has managed to sell before. Even 29 years later it's on the second position. Besides Spain her career was launched also in Spanish speaking territories in Americas - fans out there are loyal, to date this has been a major market (in addition to her home country Italy) for her ever since when releasing new albums or going on tours. Singles such as Se fué and Amores Extraños still live on from this album. See Laur making the album from here!

This leads us to the album that was released exactly 10 years later in 2004: Escucha. The album where Laura released her inner rock soul, sang about painful break-up but also collaborated with Madonna was a huge success along with title track but especially Víveme. Laura had been nominated at Latin Grammy's before but in 2005 the golden gramophone was finally hers. The success story wasn't finished as it was awarded also with US Grammy the next year as well being "The Best Latin Pop Album" - these are merits that only rare if hardly any Italian artist has managed to achieve. Check here how the album was made!

Do you listen to Laura in Spanish and if so which songs you love the most on these albums?

[leoneliterary]

I know they're supposed to be ducklings but fuck do these just make me CRY thinking about them and MC

Searching for character descriptions of Tamu and Sefu STAT

Oh my goodness, I love this! How adorable!!

Y'all should label who is who in this picture, haha!

And Tamu and Sefu are described earlier in the story, but I'll have to add another now that y'all are grown up. I'm pretty sure their artbreeder portraits are around here somewhere. (Speaking of, I need to commission an artist for the portraits, asasp.)
