Tomorrow, It's Claudine's Birthday.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary: Ivy de Vil just wants her girlfriend to have a good birthday for once.
Ship: Ivy de Vil x Claudine Frollo.
Trigger Warnings: mentioned patricide, swearing, yelling, unhealthy coping mechanisms, implied child abuse, childhood trauma, etc.
Happy birthday @panthera-tigris-venenata .
------------------------------------------------------------
“DIEGO ETHAN RAMIREZ-DE VIL, I SWEAR TO HADES IF YOU DROP THAT CAKE I WILL FEED YOU TO TIK-TOCK!” Ivy threatened, leaning over the second floor railing of Hell Hall.
“Fuck off, I'm not gonna drop it!” Diego flipped her off awkwardly, doing his best to support the birthday cake that looked more like Auradon's Idea of a wedding cake (one of Anastasia’s children had owed Ivy a very, very, very big favor, apparently).
“Ives, calm down. If you feed Diego to the crocs, there won't be any music at the party.” Hunter—the oldest cousin and involuntary peacemaker he was—sighed from where he was hanging up the banner Ivy herself had made with the help of Claudine's younger half sister, Gigi Gothel.
“I can always do it after.” Ivy rolled her eyes, trying not to let on just how stressed out she was.
“Now I know to play badly if I drop the cake!”
“Shut up Diego!”
“I'll shut up when you calm down.”
“I'll calm down when everything is perfect. ”
And when exactly will that be?” Hunter and Diego asked in sync looking very done with her. Unfortunately for them, Ivy was just as done with them as they were with her.
“When Harry B gets here with the gift he promised to help me get!” She stomped her foot, turning red with fury. “Preferably before Claudine shows up!”
It had been bugging her all day—the idea that Harry Badun wouldn't show up on time or that he wouldn't allow that stupid conscience of his to do what she required. Even if it was a small request by de Vil standards.
Everything else she had managed to make perfect.
There were games she knew Claudine would like and wouldn't feel too guilty playing.
There were foods she liked and not a crepe insight.
Frollo's Creperie was rigged to blow thanks to a favor Carlos owed her.
All her friends were there.
The decorations were perfect and well crafted (in her opinion) and Cruella was away at the spa without a care in the world regarding what the teenagers under her care and not where doing while she was gone.
She'd even set up a room for Claudine there so that girlfriend could indulge in all of the passions she had had to suppress because of her bastardy hellion of a father (who, thanks to her wonderfully broken angel, was no longer a problem).
“Do I even wanna know what you asked my reckless cousin to ‘procure’ for your girlfriend?” Jace asked warily, looking exhausted as he carried in some of the presents the guests had brought. Looking ready to throw himself off the docks.
Ivy didn't answer because honestly, she didn't have the energy to and she also didn’t know how the other vk would react to the knowledge of what exactly his cousin would be getting her. With his ‘icky’ morals, who knew how the detective would react.
“I'm gonna take that as a no.”
Diego snorted. “Probably a smart idea, knuckles.”
“I told you not to call me that!”

Peter: I wanted to apologize.
Hook: Wait hang on-
Peter: I didn't realize throwing your hand to tik tok would cause him to hunt you down forever.
Hook: That's not allowed! You can't just apologize -
Peter: I was just trying to look cool like you, I mean you kill people in super cool ways all the time.
Hook: You're making it very hard to stay mad at you-
Peter: So I'm going to kill the croc for you as an apology.
Hook: Well...who am I supposed to be mad at now!?
Peter: I mean.... Tinkerbell? Maybe the mermaids? My neglectful mother? They all had a hand in shaping me, but maybe you could join me in therapy instead.
Hook: therapy...?
Peter: Wendy's been taking me there apparently it's supposed to help us work through my issues. I didn't like crying but I felt really good afterwards so...
Hook: ...it does sound appealing now that I'm losing the will to live again.
Smee: I've already set up an appointment capn.

Frosty Reviews Idiocracy
This is one of those movies that people kept telling me I needed to watch because it seemed like a movie I’d like. Now that I have seen it I have no idea how this movie escaped me before now. It wasn’t until a few years ago that I even knew it existed and I just never saw it available anywhere. It must have been pretty low budget and didn’t have the marketing power behind it but even still it seems to have a cult following. I like most everything Mike Judge does so it should have been a no brainer.
It’s a dumb comedy but if a dumb comedy was a fairly accurate speculative dystopia. The idea is people are just going to keep getting dumber and dumber until one day a know nothing dumbass from our time would be considered the smartest man in the world. Part of the reason for the speculation is the idea that stupid people reproduce a lot while smart people reproduce very little. I have a bit of an issue with this reasoning…I think not reproducing is more of a midwit thing than a smart people thing. People smart enough to use protection when they are not ready…but not smart enough to figure out the benefits of a larger family and to be able to create the wealth to provide for it. The dumbing down of the world thanks to the fact that dumb people breed more is just part of the picture and the movie never really tackled the fact that we’re being dumbed down on purpose with drugs, porn, shitty education, lies, constant mindless media distractions, fluoridated water etc.
I bet if the movie was made or remade today social media especially stuff like tik tok would be prominantly featured, it’s kind of a real shame it’s not there because it would have been so perfect. I can so easily picture scenes where there’s some serious problem they need to address and the characters are just in the background doing tik tok dances instead.
I thought the movie was pretty funny but the funniest thing to me was the backstory behind the footwear. The movie was obviously super low budget which is a shame because otherwise I think this could have been a much better and more widely known and loved movie. At times the shitty backgrounds took me out of it a little. It was so low budget Mike Judge was dealing with some wardrobe stuff himself and when he was looking for footwear he asked for ugly shoes that they might wear in a future where everyone is retarded. He specifically asked that they be sure not to use anything that might become popular…the shoes they used for the movie were crocs and the wardrobe woman assured him they were so ugly there was no way they would ever become popular.
At times the joke felt like it was stretched a little thin, the premise was funny and many of the jokes were funny but there was times it felt like…maybe a whole movie wasn’t needed for this joke. The specifics of the plot were kind of inconsequential and I never felt really invested in any of the characters enough to care what happened to anyone. Particularly Dax Sheppard…I can’t stand the fucking guy but I do have to say he was cast perfectly for the role I totally believed him as a brain dead dipshit.
Most of the jokes were running gags one of my favourites was the way that the Fuddruckers restaurant slowly changed its name to buttfuckers. The whole movie isn’t just dumbasses laughing at people getting hit in the balls 24/7 there’s a subtle genius to the humour. The way the fat uninterested Costco employee greets them all by saying “welcome to costco I love you” says so much about the future he’s painting a picture of. A dehumanizing mega corporation that doesn’t even bother trying to appear like it cares and just pays an employee to just lie directly to you…stripped of all nuance and subtletey. It says they have to try less because people are too stupid to see it for what it is. There’s just something about a faceless corporation pretending to give a shit about you that feels so offputting and dystopian. I once got a birthday email from my bank and it kinda made me want to find out who was in charge of that decision and go take a shit on their desk. You’re not a fucking person don’t talk to me like you’re a person.
Some of his predictions are right on although he was wrong about Costco being the main megastore that eats up everything else and tries to be the one and only store, this was made before Amazon became basically what he was predicting costco would be. And he also rightfully predicts an oversexualization of society…his examples are silly like starbucks becoming a place where you get handjobs but it does seem like as things get shittier more and more people are resorting to some kind of sex work. I’ve never been on twitch because the idea of watching people play video games makes me a rage, but im told it’s basically impossible to use it without seeing half naked women turn it into some kind of erotic content.
I also thought the movie displayed the dunning krueger effect pretty well. Initially the main character who is from the past and is thus the smartest person alive is treated like the dumbest person they’ve ever seen…becuase they were too stupid to recognize how stupid they are so even basic common sense looked and sounded retarded to them.
In many ways we already live in the idiocracy, we’re getting dumber and we reward shitty dumb behaviour. The movie was essentially a reduction to absurdity of a real phenomena that’s only gotten a lot worse since it was written. The political pageantry was especially prescient because we’re currently watching a shit show involving a former and probably future president that’s actually been on WWE before.
Idiocracy was a good blend of dumb nonsense movie and intelligent satire. Definitely worth at least one watch despite the sometimes horrible cgi and somewhat lagging lackluster plot. It’s funny and it definitely holds up.

I know you're slowly working your way through the Hazbin characters in TLK/TLG verse but I'm so curious if you're going to do Helluva Boss characters as well. As well as if you're going to eventually get to Sir Pentious, Cherri, and Niffty. Unless you've done them already and I'm just stupid.
I love all your art and the choices you've made for the different characters. The choice for Vox kind of makes me think of Tik Tok the croc from Peter Pan. Just me imagining his eyes doing the same thing.
😍😍😍
I have done Niftty already T T People dont recognize her because i changed her color pallete to be more natural to lion pelts
Tumblr media
Not sure about Helluva, mostly because the lore feels bigger to Hazbin. I can come up with designs, yes, but i wouldnt worldbuild it like im doing with the Hazbin TLK AU.
Yes, Pentious is in the plans! Mostly to show how "redemption" works in the AU. I talked about it in my DA but it mostly relates to the eyes. Cherri is a maybe, like Zestial, because i didnt connect much to their characters, but we'll see! I was thinking to add her to the bonus of extras with Mimzy as well
Thank you for liking my Vox T T Yes, i was going for an animal who had very distintc eyes i could play with with the expressions. Tick Tock is a good reference i can use if i draw Croc!Vox later, thank you!

Captain Hook and Peter Pan lore (My AU)
Note: This will be shorter than the lore for Morgie and Morgana as obviously it's going to end the same
James Hook wasn't born James Hook, his birth name was Killian Jones and by the age of five he was already an orphan, being taken care of by his older brother Liam who was only five years older than him.
After a few years Liam realises he can't take care of his little brother alone so he joins a pirate crew that only agrees to take the boys in when they realise the boys are very skilled pick-pocketers and also possibly charuty cases.
Whenever the pirates are stopping to refill on supplies Killian and Liam are sent to steal and beg for... really anything they can get their hands on.
This continues for a few years with Liam slowly gaining the respects of the other pirates, learning how to fight and raid ships with the others
However, one night shortly after Killian turns ten when he's sitting on the deck stargazing he is visited by a boy around the same age as him. Peter Pan, talking about a magical place where he'll always be safe, always have a full belly and never be alone
Killian is very excited hearing this and wants to run and tell his brother but Peter stops him, saying Liam can't be trusted, he's too close to being an adult
Killian doesn't understand, his brother is his only family and his hero
Peter and him starts arguing with Peter saying that either Killian leaves Liam behind or he's not going to Neverland
The commotion wakes Liam up and he rushes up on deck to grab his brother
Upon seeing this Peter attacks Liam and the two fight with Killian trying to stop it as it gets more and more heated, both of them using swords
Suddenly a sick wicked grin spreads across Peter's face and as soon as the moment comes he pushes Liam off the boat, slashing with his sword as Killian tries to save his brother resulting in his hand being cut off
Killian collapses on the ship's deck from the shock and pain, only seeing his dismembered hand fall into the water as he hears his brother screaming in pain as a sick ticking sound is heard from the water overlapping with the screams and splashing
The last thing he hears are the rest of the crew screaming about some crocodile as one of the older men, Smee rushes up to him before he passes out
He wakes up a few days later wishing he was dead, his brother is gone, his hand is gone and it's all that twat Peter's fault
Smee stays by his side as he heals, letting the boy cry on his shoulder and scream until his lungs gives out, he's the one who fits Killian up with his hook and Killian decides he will not lay down and wait for death
If Peter dares to come from him again he won't be the naive child he ones was
He's James Hook now, so both he and any future family members of his may never forget the misery that brat brought them
Although he wanted, getting rid of his old name completely was too painful, his brother loved his name
So he keeps Killian as his middle name and dedicates his life to chasing down Peter, even if his life depends on it he will make that brat pay for taking away his only family
He challenges the current captain for well, the captain tittle, for which everyone laughs at him for
He's twelve and only has one hand, the boy must have a deathwish
To everyone's surprise James beats him, and so the search begins
Three long years they spent tracing Peter Pan, killing every crocodile they find in hopes of one day be able to finish off the cursed Tik tok croc who took James's brother away from him
Eventually Smee gets worried for James's future and in secret signs the boy up for Merlin academy to give him a shot as a normal life
James is ready to have Smee walk the plank for this betrayal with Smee begging him to at least try this new school
James eventually agrees, mainly because his history with Smee , so as punishment instead of walking the plank he makes Smee carry all his stuff after he's packed for the school
The first few weeks sucks so hard, he doesn't understand why he needs all these stupid classes. The only plus side is pick-pocketing his classmates
He's then recruited by a certain seawitch to be part of her gang, which he accepts if only to build up a more fierce reputation in the school
Little does he know this would lead him to meeting a certain young sorcerer

What is the best and worst clothing accessory in your opinion?
Best I’d say fundementally jewelry which might be too broad so I’ll say necklaces always look good maybe not as much in guys cause tik tok boys and Cuban links oversaturated for awhile but otherwise that.
Worst crocs having those little pin button things you see on 38 year old men complaining about their car nit getting repaired fast enough

Let me get going on that Peter Pan inspired stuff too. Sebek accidentally somehow sallowing a really really small clock as a kid. And whenever he has his tail out you can hear the tik tock sound
NO ANON YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE FUNNY
Sebek has never pulled out his croc form before. Ever. The last time he did it he was what 8 years old???
So the clock he ate as a kid was a bit of an old one, so the ticking noises only lasted for up to 6 months fortunately. One day he needs to pull his croc form out and he's a bit insecure about it!!! But he REALLY needs to, so he does and-
Tick
Tock
The clock plays once more. Whatever shift or whatever Sebek's body was doing as he went into croc form activated THE CLOCK AGAIN
Diasomnia has no idea that he ate a clock as a child so they tease him for it but also he's super pissed about it because!!! HE DID NOT KNOW THAT IT WOULDVE CONTINUED WORKING SHUT UP

OK I JUST HAD A GREAT HEARCANON
so like you know how sebek has a lot in common with tik tok the croc from Peter Pan and in there when the croc is near you hear a ticking of a clock.
So the idea is that as malleus's retainer sebek keeps a pocket watch with him all the time to follow schedule (and malleus of course)
So every time sebek is near you can hear a clock ticking because of the pocket watch.
(which makes it kind of a sebek locator)
Luca(yuu): What's that ticking sound?
Malleus: Oh, don't worry it's just sebek.
Thank you for coming to my tedtalk🐊

Different Peter Pan Fight Scenes
Peter Pan in cannon is a crazy little shit who is very dangerous with a blade. When watching any kind of telling of J.M.Barrie’s character we expect an entertaining fight scenes with Peter Pan and his arch nemesis captain Hook. There have been many different displays of these fight scenes. But I will be focusing on Disney’s original animated Peter Pan, their 2023 Peter Pan as well as the 2003 Peter Pan. This is because the 2023 Peter Pan seems to be trying to take cinematic elements from both. However, they are very loosely on the 1953 Peter Pan.
Disney Animated Peter Pan
This Peter Pan uses a lot of slapstick to change the violence of the story. It is still entertaining to watch. While there are a lot of things i didn’t like about this Peter Pan in the 1953 film, he was at least was still memorable and competent. I think when Disney decided to bring back their iconic Peter Pan adaptation they did better in Return to Neverland than the 2023. Jane Darling in the Disney verse is a competent girl and I do like her fight scene against Hook. This is because they still make Hook look dangerous and intimidating and she has to start out by fleeing from him. When she finally frees Peter Pan she doesn’t suddenly go female power and out shine him. It is still Peter who takes out his arch nemesis. So it is better to have them both look good.
youtube
2003 Peter Pan
What I like about this fight scene is how they show that Hook is smart and had this whole plan to kill Peter Pan. Hook is dangerous and a worthy enemy to Peter Pan even managing to over power Peter; Peter knows he is in trouble and needs to try and escape his enemy but Hook grabs him in time. Then throws him towards an open net to drown. This Peter Pan is still a cocky, cheeky smart ass, but he doesn’t underestimate captain Hook. He knows Hook is dangerous and Hook IS supposed to be dangerous. This film didn’t feel the need to tone down the fight scenes. Peter Pan ends this scene with being saved from the crocodile, both of them hearing the ticking clock. Hook gets distracted and when he remembers Peter, he has already fled. They made Wendy more proactive in the fight scenes and I don’t dislike that because she’d have to adapt to this dangerous island in order to survive. So Wendy with sword skills I have always liked to HC. They also made her show her leadership skills when Peter Pan is a little preoccupied fighting captain Hook.
youtube
Peter Pan 2023
This movie should of just been called Wendy because they decided to go down the route of insufferable girlboss. This Peter Pan is incompetent and he gets overpowered by Hook not because Hook managed to overpower this not normal fairy child, but because this Peter Pan is an airhead. He gets himself and the Darlings blown up then separated, fails to look for Wendy which in cannon is something Peter Pan does do. Then when we finally see him face Hook; he has this whole distraction when fighting Hook after he realizes Wendy is alive. He has a flipping conversation with her with captain Hook standing right there. This Hook somehow hurts him through his shadow? It was strange. So Hook didn’t feel like he earned his victory. This Hook normally gets his but served to himself from an airhead. They then get saved by Tik Tok the Croc but what I took weird was that Tik Tok didn’t tik until Hook was on his head. Does the Crocodile have control of its own ticking now? It was strange.
youtube
The fight scene just feels lack luster, like we expected a better fight scene. They do try to copy the slap stick I suppose, with Hook balancing over the Crocodile’s jaws. But animated Hook has tons of slapstick and was kicked into the jaws of Tik Tok. This Hook found himself here because he is not observant enough. Doesn’t help that the constant ticking of the Crocodile does not happen in this film. So...it is a miracle this Hook hasn’t been eaten yet.
