augh writing is hard

⚠️cw: flashing lights (transition)

It's not normal for the coil behind your navel to tighten with every single button that he opens on his shirt. It's not normal for your mouth to water when the dress shirt is finally open, and you can admire the glimpse of skin that is discreetly presented. It's not normal for your lips to tingle with desire to kiss the tattoos he uncovers when he pushes his shirt off his body. Heaven knows you didn't even think that this elegant man had tattoos, but he does, and you want to trace every single line with your mouth.

[lost-in-the-forest-again]

Who is ready for a surreal and ✨Spicy✨ chapter of my Dark!Horvath fic??

[braindead94]

Always behind you….

Excuse me, I’m just gonna vomit this out-

The old sorcerer never had much interest in the common mortals that surrounded this deary world. They all are beneath him, so inadequate to magic users, honestly, how could Merlin see it as a sorcerers job to protect them when they have the power to rule?

Never did see why the need to seek out companionship until he met you.

Maxim was in a new city, so many new buildings and sights that threw him off for a second, but it was that second that you saw him being lost and offered him some help. You didn’t just give him directions, you walked along with him, chatting trivial things like ‘Doctor Who’ or ‘What color do you trust’. But it only made him feel seen, you made him feel a forgotten sense. A sense he thought was gone after Veronica.

Horvath moved on front that day, passing you off as a pleasant thing in his day but then he saw you again in a different part of the city. Curiosity filling his mind and he followed you.

And it only lead him down a path that one would only describe as ‘A twisted path of obsession’. But he didn’t care, he felt that old desire rising in his wicked hear once more and he’d be dammed if he let it go.

He soon learned of your name, where you live, your job, whatever is connected to you, he knows. Soon there wasn’t a single thing he doesn’t know about you and it makes him ill.

Why now must he find a soulmate? Why is it a simple mortal with no ambition in life has fought his attention?

Damn it all, he needs that love, he wants to hear your voice close to him, needs to feel how soft your skin is, he NEEDS you with him.

Perhaps this world isn’t better off dead, not if it means he could snatch you from that place you call a home and into his ever doting care

Hey! First post, here’s links to the story so far!

We’ll be uploading character reference sheets, art, doodles etc! But if you want to catch up on where we’re at, here you go!! (Links to the blog and story are below!)

To start:

What is Fantasia Symphony of Sorcerers AU/ FSOS AU/ FSOS?

It’s a project made by two people, Aero and Golden. It’s a fanfic that aims to connect up a bunch of Disney universes, taking Fantasia as its central starting point. The plot entails Yen Sid and his apprentices, Mickey, Oswald, Julius, Scout and Golden all facing various threats on their journeys to become Master Sorcerers just like their father before them. They have made various arts about the story, and this tumblr is the next step to bring it to a wider audience, since it is quite niche!

What can I expect from the story?

A mixture of family fluff and angst! It’s got lgbt and straight ships, themes about identity and expression, and a whole lot of links to various cultures and traditions! It also includes a lot of magic and spirit animals that each sorcerer can summon, as well as unique world mythology that will be explored in due time. Mainly, the world of Luminosa (earth) is in a solar system just as our world is, but it’s heralded by many realms, which Yen Sid protects. These realms contain many worlds, but they all share the same sky- one sky, one destiny. On top of this, the main setting is the Kingdom of Lumos, established 1000 years ago. In Lumos, there are various cities and places, such as Fioritura, where the main family live, Nocturne, Ceros, Lega, and many others. There are also people living outside of Lumos, and their stories will be explored later 😉

Who are you two writing it?

Well, there are two writers- Aero and Golden. Aero is quite a bit older than Golden and they’re online friends, Golden can be very shy about her appearance and doesn’t share it online, nor her name. She’s got various names though (Polaris, MarionetteAngie, Yen Sid’s Hat (🤨)) and all with the goal of keeping her identity private (please be considerate of this boundary). Aero is more open, she loves plushies and has a huge collection, and the two have been friends since 2022 when Golden found Aero’s art and they started talking.

Find the cowriters:

Golden: GoldenHeartArt_ on Instagram, MarionetteAngie on YouTube and Tumblr (my further links are found on Insta and Tumblr)

Aero: Aeronautics_Comics on Instagram and Discord

Some essential points:

- Forget everything you know about kingdom hearts and the Disney universe lore-wise. It’s an alternate universe, so emphasis on ALTERNATE, even earth isn’t called earth, but it’s called Luminosa!

- We take pieces of Fantasia, Fantasia 2000, and Fantasia: Music Evolved, as well as a billion other things, and basically remix them! 🤭

- “Golden” the character is different to Golden the person (me), same with “Aero” the character being different to Aero my co-writer (who will likely be the one who posts most here!) They’re self inserts, but obviously due to the way the world works, they can be considered pieces of a personality, parts of a whole, which is the humans behind the story, or us.

- We have a soundtrack! Find it here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyD683ZvQYu-RYtRMor6X4nEWnRygNUpR&si=4c57rW3fsn1QKSxD

- The AU was first made on the 29th November 2023, so that’s when we celebrate its anniversary (since it was only published in April but that’s because constructing it took months)

- We also host a monthly (ish) podcast on Golden’s YouTube! It focuses on the behind the scenes of the AU and our general personalities, so please check it out if you want to learn more about the people, well, behind the sorcery! Find it here!

- Please tag us on Instagram or here if you make fanart or fan content!! Just please be respectful, don’t do anything inappropriate or too violent, keep everything safe for anyone under 18, and just be nice with our boundaries, if you need to know anything for my part, I have boundaries on my Instagram highlights (GoldenHeartArt_)

- Be kind to each other, it’s the main theme of the story 🤭

I hope you all love this story as much as we do 💛

A deep dive into the past of two characters, Golden and Scout, and the introduction of everyone’s favorite light man! 💜

The gang celebrate Christmas… after dealing with a Scrooge organ!

Various villains reveal a plot to take over the realms which Yen Sid protects, and Golden unlocks a new power she’s never dreamed of having… and we get some more details about Yen Sid’s life when he was young! 🧡🤭

The gang go on vacation, and meet new friends and threats alike!

The matriarch of all villainy… what an interesting concept. Good thing it’s in the past…right? Also includes Golden’s 10th birthday, marking what is now known as “present time”, since the rest of the story will take place over roughly a year from this point!

A sweet shorter story where one of Yen Sid’s old cohort finds herself in need of help, and the kids are more than happy to assist on this astronomical adventure!

And here’s the iconic cover image, drawn by Golden! We will post so many arts in the future by both of us, so please keep an eye out!

I then hear footsteps and then he pops his head around my door "oh sweet you look pale" he said with worry I blinked, I'm on my period he smiled a little and walked to me

Doing a spell and some herb was in my hand I walked out of the room and downstairs to the kitchen when I got into the kitchen I started to look through the cupboards and I found a pot I started to boil the herbs I added some water and waited until it was ready when it was I poured it into a big glass taking it upstairs before I went into her room I did another spell then some. chocolates was in my hand  and then walked in, I smiled here I said and she took the glass from my hand I smiled careful it's hot she nodded and taking sips doing a horrible face I chuckle yeah don't ask what's in it, I said. I lie down on her soft bed I open up my arm for her so she could lie on my chest and she did

(y/n) after having some of that drink I felt so much better but now I was feeling sleepy because  his chest  was so warm and he hand his fingers in my hair gently stroking. My hair was sending me to sleep so I gave in, shutting my eyes and falling to sleep listening to his heart beat.

"Well then, I guess introductions are in order,” the teen said[...].“I’m Miles.” The college student waved. “Dave.” The boy in the neckerchief, quite nonchalantly, said, “Merlin.” The air seemed to still. “What.”

 In 2010 New York City, sorcerer's apprentice Dave Stutler was already having a rough week. Then, two strangers magically land at his feet: Miles, a teenager just coming into his own magic, and... well...

Merlin.

A surprisingly young and very out-of-place Merlin.

As the three become involved in a battle of good and evil that has been raging since Camelot, they discover foes of Camelot's past, startling truths about their destinies, and a connection to each other that proves their meeting to be more than accidental.

(Takes place mid-Sorcerer's Apprentice, post-Avalon High, and pre-"The Coming of Arthur".)

Have you ever watched the Disney film called The Sorcerer's Apprentice, which features Nicholas Cage as a famous wizard 🪄?

If you have, then this Marvel themed The Sorcerer's Apprentice is right for you!

Summary: (Takes place before Thor: Ragnarok): It's Doctor Strange's first day as the Sorcerer Supreme and The Ancient One assigns him to a person. A young girl named Maddy Phelps. (This is actually Maddy's backstory before she becomes the Sorceress Supreme)

Any who...

On the way to her best friend Brynnie Bratton's birthday party, Maddy gets into a severe car wreck. Her mom was saved by The Ancient One but, however, the car kept tumbling until it got into the midstrip on the highway and then, Maddy was upside down. She had lost all feeling in both of her hands. Three heroes arrived on the scene. Tony Stark/Iron Man, Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Doctor Strange. All three work together on taking apart the car so that they could reach the unconscious girl. Tony and Peter realize that Doctor Strange really cares about Maddy so, they decide to step aside and let the Sorcerer Supreme work on getting his future wife free. After he got her from the almost totaled car, the Sorcerer Supreme then goes about his plan. Whatever he has planned for Maddy, it's huge!

I hope that you guys are looking forward to this story and please stay tuned for more awesome content!

Elias's Fantasmic Adventure!

My 200 follower special!

(More under the cut!)

Event Summary

When Elias was younger, he always loved to read fairytales. Yet, there was one book that told a story that stuck with him till the present day. The story was about a creative and joyous mouse who, while asleep, dreams of himself on a spectacular journey through the depths of his own imagination. Elias loved that story, but as the years went on, the book fell into obscurity. No one in all of Twisted Wonderland seemed to know anything about this book! Elias thought he had been dreaming about it for years until he saw the same book in NRC's library. Though it was covered in dust, Eilas still felt the exact same spark that he had felt when he was little. As to not let the story fall into obscurity again, Elias begged Crowely to find a way to let people know about the book, yet Crowely couldn't help him. Elias almost ran out of ideas until he remembered a rhyme his mother would tell him.

Here in your mind

It’s magic you’ll find

When out of the night

Dark forces ignite

To blind you with frightening schemes

If you use your might

To brighten the light

You'll create night of wondrous dreams

This inspired Elias to put matters into his own hands. With funding from Kalim, Elias sought to put on a wonderful water and light show spectacular as a homage to his favorite fairytale. But, he will need actors and dancers! Help Elias create a nighttime fantasmic!

Actors and Dress Code

In the fairytale, the magical mouse goes on a trip through his mind. In his dreams, he sees wondrous, beautiful, and dangerous things. Since this live show is supposed to be inspired by that story, Elias would like all actors to dress appropriately for whichever part you may be going for. Of course, there is still a lot of room for you to be creative!

In this show, Elias will be playing the part of the mouse, who, fast asleep, dreams that he is a mighty sorcerer's apprentice with the power to control water, color, and magic.

In the original story, the mouse sees things such as:

A vibrant jungle

Elephants on parade

A Genie who can grant any wish

A large ocean with all sorts of creatures

Pirates

Fairies

Beautiful princesses

Evil monsters

Powerful dragons

With these in mind, you can decide how you want to be perceived in Elias's dream! Do you want to be a beautiful prince or princess? Or do you want to change Elias's dream into a nightmare?

Here's some references:

For your character's outfits, make them vibrant and fantastical! Anything can happen in Elias's dream!

If you're still stuck, then go watch the original Fantasmic! It should give you ideas for your character's outfits. (Yes, I know that the link is the outdated version, but tbh they didn't change much from the one linked and the updated one so IT'S FINE)

The New Member Of The Family

A canon-divergent fanfic were we Ignore season 5 all togheter

No parings

" his Uncle looks up, the carvings in the red magical arc are scales, serpentine dragons evolving it, right in the center a green Jade pulses, it's shape not taking any face, until he looks at it a bit more and see a reflection, an egg, then… “... pff, your father is forgetting his roots” "

Also on AO3

If someone would ask any agent of section 13 what did their job is like they would say something of the lines incredibly boring paperwork, basic field research, sometimes life or death situation and most time fighting the incredible urge to puke because of the not so pleasant smell of magic

Since the Chans were moving the latter description might disappear for a time, who knows with this crazy job, but at least peace for the agents nostrils would be a welcome change

Two old wizards sat opposite ways of each other, one dressed all in white the other all in black, a balance to the complicated ritual they are about to perform in a vacant vault newly build in the secret base, a vault supposed to always stay empty for its true purpose is to mark a location that must stay protected at all costs

Uncle and Daolon were… a handful these last few months for the Chan household, ever since Tarakudos defeat section 13 finally got the recognition by their superiors that perhaps magic does exist, and maybe they really should have a facility that specializes in said demons. Which means budget which means any magic enemies defeated comes here wich implies danger

Hence it was decided by captain Black that they should know other ways to incarcerate their prisoners besides bars, after all not all enemies will be sorceres that Uncle could block their magic from, some would be demons, and what better place to seal demons, if not the demon realm

The two man had to cooperate in searching and recreation the old ritual that created the eight sorcerer demons portals, a complicated magic spell, that required the preparation of a new symbol for the demon they are about to banish, the son of Shendu, the future treat, Drago, if father was sword, son would be a dagger, that was a suggestion by the good chi wizards niece, an object easily accessible to any time, even if for the first use they needed to forge it from scratch

It has been hell on earth for poor Jackie and Toruh, nephew and apprentice had to deal with countless complains, demands and worse of all, play wireless telephone when both old man fought and disagreed which component was actually needed, that when they hadn't to be always on alert fearing the dark chi wizard would, in the middle of the night, make a spell that gives him back his powers, and he did tried… three times in a roll

Meanwhile Drago has been… odd, the young dragon was never know to engage in good behavior, his muzzle had to be replaced many times with how much he tried to melt them and escape, his cell changed every other week or so to compensate for his almost successes, solitary only made him more agitated and letting him divide a cell with another inmate was calling for trouble

But ever since Uncle has requested one of his scales for the ritual the teenager has been… quiet, almost calm, he does snap, he is still cranky and still doesn't socializes with the other prisoners in his mandatory recreation time, but he has stopped trying to escape, when pressed if he was planning something the only response was

“I should be the one asking that” or silence, needless to say the security was over the walls ready for anything the demon tried, he will not use this as an opportunity to run or worse, summon his uncles and aunts

“Jackie do you hear me” of course were is magic trouble there is Jackie Chan, the Chinese man yelps in surprise to his friends voice, he touches the communicator to let his answer be heard, tension not leaving his shoulders

“Yes! Yes captain Black I do hear you”

“We are arriving at the location, is everything ready?”

He looks at Uncle and Daolon Wong, both completely immersed in their enchantments and mixing, Tohru gives him a thumbs up as he fixes the second drum in place “Yes”

“Good, is Jade with you?”

“What? No, no, she was sleeping in her bed when I checked before coming!”

“Security has spotted her near the entrance, I thought you would like to know that”

“Jade…” he sighs and looks up “I'll make sure she isn't around-” and right there in the vents, a little girl with orange hoodie smiles sheepish at him “never mind, I found her”

On cue Jade opens her hiding place and leaps below “You left to summon a demon and didn't tell me!”

“We are not summoning anything we are banishing one, and you are supposed to be in bed”

“You never said anything that I'm supposed to be in bed, besides I'm sleepwalking and you can't wake up someone who's sleepwalking because…hmmmm” the little girl searches her brain for excuses to keep her here and see the action “that will make their brains explode! Yeah! I learn that in school”

Her Uncle gives her a look she knows he isn't buying anything, but at this point why bother, it's too late for escort now, every camera and security is focused in the demon they are bringing here “fine, but stay far away from the circle, and if anything happens, run for it got it?”

“Yup” she says looking around and poking the drums, this is going to be a long night…

.

.

.

At the same time, in a place were gravity doesn't exists, the sky is red and nothing grows nor a breeze pass, a small reptile boy jumps rock to rock, amusing himself in following one small bumbling patch of dry grass in the vast of nothingness

“gotcha!” he grabs the ground in triumph, a toothy arrogant smile appearing as he pulls it out, only to tumble and fall in his butt, the floating particles of dirt go directly to his nose making the boy sneeze, and with it… nothing comes out “ouch”

Far away observing the little boy, a demon watches, grey skin, skinny enough for his bones to appear, tail lazily swinging in the nothing, bat wings retracted, Hsi Wu, the youngest of the eight demon siblings was tasked to be the current babysitter of the newly addition to the family

Not that there would be any danger to the boy, their territory was surrounded by Shendu's dragons, and those things are more loyal to that brat than any of them anyway, but it's good to know where he was, no-one likes to be awaken by the crying of the little gecko when he gets lost in his play

In better circumstances Hsi Wu would amuse himself to be the fun Uncle, he has fantasized this once, long ago when his brother announced the eggs’ arrival, but as things were now, the fresh memory of the wind dampened his mood, sometimes he wishes to never have attempted to get out of this place at all if it meant his chances to be freed were basically nulled

World domination be damned, he just wanted to feel the wind now, not this static place, he couldn't even mourn his defeat properly because his brothers stupid egg just had to ratch last year… at least he think it was last year, time is hard to tell in this damned place-

“Gah! What?!” a dirty little hand trusts itself in his face, the owner of said said hand looks at him with a serious expression

“Gift” he opens his hand and presents a smooth round rock “you looked sad and i found this cool rock the other day, I thought you might like it uncle”

The sky demon picks the rock with a puzzled expression, what was so cool about a rock anyway, but it seemed to please the small dragon, so he didn't question it anymore, least he makes the baby cry, or worse, mad “hm whatever…”

“Why are you sad?” the boy sits besides him

“Nothing that you can understand” he plays with the rock, sending it from hand to hand “grow up stuff”

“oh… so it doesn't have anything to do with that weird hole?”

“What hole?”

The kid points behind him, making Hsi Wu turn and gasp, that… was a portal, his red eyes wide with surprise, wings spreading instantly in excitement, and exit

“Uncle ? Wah!” The force of the sky demons' propulsion made the small chunk of rock they were on spin as he took flight directly into the portal, be it his or anyone else he doesn't care, if there was the minimum chance he could escape he would take it-

“GAH!” an electric force of a barriers burns Hsi Wu arms, he persists in entering, ignoring the pain, but the barrier doesn't gives in, he pants in frustration

“Uncle?” a tinny voice calls him back, in the nearest floating island his nephew looks at him, scared, tail tucked between his legs, big eyes watching him in concern, he flys over

“Damned portal”

“Is that one of those things that can free us?”

“Not us, if it was you fathers portal maybe, but apparently not, whoever is the demon connected to this portal he is inside here, we can't pass”

“hmm” the little demon studies the portal, in it's arc he finds a name carved “who is… Drago?”

“Weird name…” his Uncle looks up, the carvings in the red magical arc are scales, serpentine dragons evolving it, right in the center a green Jade pulses, it's shape not taking any face, until he looks at it a bit more and see a reflection, an egg, then… “... pff, your father is forgetting his roots”

“what?” the little boy looks annoyed at his Uncle

“This one is yours”

“I have a portal?!”

“And a name, come on, pass trough before it closes”

“but- what- how-” The confusion in little Dragos’ face makes the older demon chuckle “what about you?! All of you! Were am I gonna go- Were-what???”

“Calm down” Hsi Wu knees down at his nephew's eye level, for the first time looking at the little boy with a soft expression “You have to just find a way to get us out of here when you are out, what do you say? Deal?”

The boys’ breath eavens, his eyes open wide in amazement “Deal! I won't fail! You'll see!”

He scrambles out of the sky demons grasp and jumps rock to rock, excited, tail slashing in determination “I'll get you all out of here! I promise”

And Drago jumps out of the demon realm, for the first time…

The adjusting to this new places’ gravity is a shock, the little gecko, unlike his relatives, doesn't steps out gracefully, nor imposing, out of his prison, but stumbled out and falls face first in the cold ground of section 13s’ new vault, making a visible effort to get up, his body still adjusting to the concept of natural gravity, even his training with uncle Tso Lan didn't prepared him enough for this

A raspid voice gets his attention to look up, there is a green demon towering over him, wearing orange and a strange thing covering his mouth, yet his voice , due to how close he is, can heard by the boy

“Ah… this makes more sense now” he chuckles, his eyes looking at the little demon and at his right rapidly, smoke coming out of his mouth cage, little Drago got the message, run “but if you want to imprison me you have to get a lot more creative!”

The demon spins around and in a demonstration of power melts his muzzle as he spits a wall of fire all around, making the simple preparations burn, he adopts a defensive position and locks eyes with the little girl the human man wearing blue holds closer behind him

His attack doesn't break the protective barrier around the main enchants were Uncle starts to chant louder, they had hoped to send him peacefully, now force it is, the portal starts to suck the air around itself, Drago the son of Shendu does not stop his attack, fire still cracking in his mouth, hands and feet piercing the ground trying to delay his inevitable doom, but a maniacal smile never leaving his face

The guards around start to fire against the teenager, their bullets do nothing against his skin, and unbeknown to all a demonic child slips inside one of the drums when it starts to fly around due to the sheer force of the banishing spell, all but one old evil chi wizard, who reaches for the instrument and forces it down

Finally the little girl in orange jumps out of her uncles grasp and using the direction of the wind in her favor kicks the young dragon out of the ground, her Uncle mere seconds away from reaching for her hand before she too is sucked inside

“This isn't the last of me, Chans!” Drago laughs “This is only the beginning!”

The portal closes, the fire crackles more gently, agents move around focusing in extinguishing them, peace has come back once again

“That was…” Tohru murmurs

“Anticlimactic?” Jade returns

“Too climatic” Jackie answers “we are lucky he didn't take you with him! Never do this again, do you want a repeat of last time?! And it would have been worse! We don't have Shendu's portal to get you out this time what if-”

“But Jackie if I didn't jump in he would have tried to scape or jumped on u-”

“Enough!” Uncle slaps both their foreheads “all ends well when it goes well, Drago is gone, and that's what matters, now help Uncle pack his things”

“Yes, we should also take some of this fire, magic like this is rare to- WHAT ARE YOU IMBECILES DOING?! DID ANYONE TOLD YOU TO START PUTTING IT OUT?! NO” Daolon Wong chips in and marches to the agents, branding his cane like a weapon

“Oh yeah, him…” Jade whispers to her best friend, the gentle giant “is he still going to live with us?”

“If captain Black wishes”

“Ugh…”

“Tohru! A little help here!” Jackie calls, doing his best to lift one of the drums alone “this thing seems heavier than last time”

The Japanese man walks towards him and lifts effortlessly the instrument “looks the same to me”

“You must just be exhausted Jackie” Captain Black approaches, putting a reassuring hand in his friends shoulder

“I guess…”

After too much time cramped in a tiny space, Dragos’ legs were starting to hurt even if he was small, he could feel too much energy in his veins, he wanted to move!

A peek in the smallest frests between the wood that he made shows him nothing but darkness, his ears don't hear nothing but soft snores, it may be ok to stretch out a bit, right? Right

With caution he slowly let's go of the letter he was until now forcing together to maintain the illusion of a fixed drum, luck was on his side for there was nothing above him, letting the small dragon put his head out and see his surrounding for the first time

He was in a place full of stuff, vases, paintings, relics, it reeks of magic and enchantment, where was he?

Effortless the boy jumps out of his hiding place and quietly explore this strange building, when he hear a sound and light coming from one of the doors, curiously he approaches and see what looks to be a place were humans eat, an old man with long hair and black tattoos chews what looks to be two pieces of skiny bread

Demons don't need much sustainable as humans, at least that was what he was told, and unless said demon was auntie Po Kong, but Drago could smell the food from a mile, the first sent he ever smelled outside of fire, ozone, dirt and grass, it made his stomach rumble, he gasps, and immediately regrets it closing his mouth, the old man stops, and looks at the door

Please don't notice, please don't notice, the child begs in his thoughts, legs ready to run, then the old man ignores the sound, leaving his food behind leaving the room and making the lights go out with a strange button on the wall

Drago waits… and waits… until he can't hear anything anymore to slide inside, eat the rest the stranger left and go back to his drum

Daolon Wong watches as the boy enters the kitchen and eats the simple sandwich he made with the gusto of a starving man, and smiles knowingly, it's going to be a long game, but he has learned to be patient, he will get his powers back, and if it also guarantees some dragon demon chi it is a bonus, but for now he will have to gain the trust of this boy… his first allie in his journey back to power
