LU Writer Appreciation Project 2023

My gift for @natureless-creatures​ (Amaya) based on their fanfic The Shadows of Yesterday

AHHhh Amaya, as you already know, I’m hooked to this fanfic since the start and that last chapter ended with such a badass cliffhanger! This image was etched into my brain and it needed to be shared. I hope that my gift gives you the inspiration you need to continue to writing. The mystery behind Legend’s new strange power has my interest peaked. I really want to know what is happening with him and I can’t wait to see how the rest of the Chain reacts when they find out something is wrong.  I will be patiently waiting. >:]

Close up on Legend’s lightning scars

[raayllum]

Anyway borrowing from the Rayllum relevant sections of my "arc 2 is about the pursuit of knowledge / knowledge as a burden" meta for s4 and s5 (minimized/condensed text is from previous meta) let's talk about S6

Season four in a lot of ways was the journey of

Mutual Love as Self Actualization: Part 1 — Uncertainty to Certainty (S4)

As previously noted, Callum starts out S4 at both a loss with the mirror, and still coping with the uncertainty and stagnation of his loss of Rayla. When Ezran reaffirms that Callum still loves her, all Callum can helplessly rely that he doesn’t “even know if she’s alive.” Things don’t really improve once Rayla shows up, either, even if we see the persistent thread of not knowing vs knowing being knit throughout their arc with one another.

When Ezran is trying to get Callum and Rayla to work together, he doesn’t tell them to set everything aside, or even harkens back to their good old days. He asserts their identities and says, “Don’t you remember who you are?” because to him — and evidently to Callum and Rayla, because it works — working together and helping each other has become a fundamental, core part of who they are as individuals. They are that interwoven with each other, and Rayla reflects that in 4x07 with, “Callum, you’re the 'destiny is a book you write yourself’ guy. No one can control you or make your choices for you” as well as what Callum offers up to her in 4x09 where we see the turning point in their prior uncertainty. Although they’ve both changed, they are fundamentally still the same people they were when they fell in love, and there is both comfort, sadness, and acceptance in that realization, where Callum says:

Mutual Love as Self Actualization: Part 2 — Certainty and Discovery (S5)

Upon reconciling once Callum has said what we knew all along — “I’m so glad you come back” — Callum and Rayla return to the castle, and their searches for knowledge become arguably more explicitly stated by the text. Their first scene together in 5x01 establishes that Callum wants to know the Ocean arcanum (“I thought it would be about controlling the tides or fighting the currents” thereby exerting control, which he desperately wants over himself post-S4) as well as Aaravos, whereas Rayla is seeking answers about her family: “If I can figure out how he put you into the cursed coins, maybe I can find a way to get you out.”

This is, of course, something we know she doesn’t trust Callum with yet, not wanting to burden him with her problems especially before she’s reached her own conclusion of what to do about it (to delay it for the good of the world) and we see that the certainty and forgiveness Callum found in 4x09 has more than carried over.

Opeli: Don’t you want to know what she was up to? Why she did all this?

And although very uncertain about opening up, Rayla still expresses certainty that she knows Callum could and can be there for her, if he wants to be — if he’s ready to be.

This is, after all, with both Amaya’s encouragement and Callum’s reassurance that 1) “You can tell me when you’re ready” and that 2) he does want to know from 5x01. Then, we see both their arcs in this way largely — or at least they would, in a perfect world — be resolved in many ways by their interaction later in 5x04:

Previously, we’ve mostly talked about knowledge, especially within the text of the show, as a positive thing. It is the foundational rock of a strong relationship, it can lead to positive self actualization, and it helps the heroes keep Aaravos from being unleashed. When you do not have enough knowledge or perceived understanding of someone (Claudia assumes Soren could never understand her, and Viren and Harrow’s relationship breakdown), your relationship accordingly deteriorates. When you share knowledge, and share experiences (Rayla to Callum about the coins, Soren to Elmer about abusive cycles), you can become stronger together.

But knowledge is not exclusively a good thing. It can also be harmful, or unwanted, or unwanted precisely because it’s harmful. It can bind you to deals or bonds you don’t really want, and once you know something, you cannot un-know it, whether about yourself or about others. And we see this most plainly in the story Archmage Akiyu shares about the prison ("I knew too much").

So if S4 is about beginning to navigate both in spite of and within uncertainty, S5 is about having the safety of that uncertainty stripped away, both in creating more of it, and in removing some of it. Namely, the Ocean arcanum.

He chased the Ocean arcanum because he thought, if Sky granted him potential and freedom, then Ocean would grant him control, but the truth was more complicated than that. While it did grant him control (the ability to break free from Finnegrin’s spell), it also granted him a rather hard truth he’d rather not know.

The first time he cites his poem about true tides and untold depths, he is talking about his faith and trust in Rayla — the way he views her: “If she didn’t tell me, she has a good reason. […] I trust her. Unconditionally.”

The second time he recites the poem, it is about himself. The untold depths are within himself, are parts he is still trying to understand in full because they are uncomfortable truths. In many ways, Callum unlocking the Ocean arcanum is his version of Ezran’s 4x03 speech (see how we looped all the way back? 'Totally’ intentional I swear), that multiple things can be, and sort of have to be, true in order to gain new ground, even if there’s a part of you that wishes it could be simple.

Season six develops this theme, too, but it takes it and calls it Truth, and we see this reflected most notably in 6x06.

Mutual Love as Self Actualization: Part 3 — Certainty and Salvation (S6)

In season six, we see Callum build upon this certainty with Rayla by the way he remains emotionally open with her about his hopes and fears. After his 6x01 nightmare freaks him out, he runs right to her to receive support; when the guilt and fear gnaws at him in 6x03, he tells her the truth of what he did on Finnegrin's ship.

While the obvious facet of knowledge (truth) and salvation here is in 6x06, I also like to think it starts an episode earlier in 6x05. Callum wants to go along with the mission because he knows the quasar diamonds will be what they get in exchange whereas Rayla goes along with it because he's pushing for it (and well, helping people is always nice).

However, where Callum believes that the icy beast they seemingly have to slay is a monster, Rayla believes differently and hedges her bets on what she knows.

This is a great mini turning point in season six for a few reasons. For one, it merges the idea of truth and knowledge into one ("I know it's true") as well as emphasizing the concept of knowing something in your heart, which 6x06 will build on of "dark magic tears a hole in your spirit/heart that light can fill". It also clearly ties back to something that Callum knows he knows, which is that he trusts Rayla unconditionally (5x01). So he goes with it.

When Rayla does reach out to the behemoth, it's with more facets of knowledge: "I know you're in pain. I don't want to hurt you...", knowing the creature's name and the stories ("I know who you are"), and even in her lullaby:

(We'll come back to the lullaby for 6x06's relevancy as well). Once Rayla's kindness and compassion gets through, of her knowledge and seeing the truth of Esmeray's pain much like Ezran saw Zubeia's ("and the truth of you seeing that made it feel like less, like healing"), we return to how well Callum knows her and his knowledge about the trial ("You knew this was the reward"):

If I'd told you, you would've refused to go, because you never do anything for yourself.

To love someone is to know them, and to know them is (in these cases) to develop love for them. The same way that Rayla brings Runaan out of his grief and guilt induced darkness in 6x09 ("I'm your daughter and I love you") and recognizes the grief and guilt plaguing Esmeray, likewise, she represents and is Love to Callum.

He's gone from being uncertain about her survival, about expressing his love, all the way to looking to her for support and direction about the trials set before him:

Kosmo: Dark magic left a hole in you, but the Star-truth ritual can fill the darkness with light. [...] You must search your mind and heart for your one deep truth, the star within you. Then you must let that truth shine and fill the darkness. Callum: One deep truth, huh? Kosmo: Your deepest truth. [...] You must find the star within you, the one deep truth so bright it can fill the darkness.

As know, Callum's trial is still a struggle for him at first. But luckily Rayla's lullaby also foreshadowed the principle of looking inward rather than outward, too, and precisely what kind of answer and truth Callum is going to find.

Callum: I found my one truth.

His truth, his knowledge, his constant, his light... is love, his love, for Rayla and from Rayla. At the end of 6x06 in many ways, Callum is at his most self-actualized, freed from the taint of dark magic and paranoia about Aaravos' control... saved and allowed to become the best version of himself, a bright shining light. A star in his own right. Which is likewise why he expresses his truth before the episode is done. He did dark magic for her, but she's so much more than just darkness or desperation or sadness for him; she's light and hope and Love, too. She's his Constant, Deepest Truth. She's everything.

It's taken two and a half seasons, but he's ready to do more than just know it. He's ready to say it.

So he does.

I Adore You.

— summary. a headcanon of your body that jjk men adore. it's a request that i lost in my ask section but i still think about it every now and then! i just know this isn't proofread bcs when have i ever? aha.

— warning. NSFW version is under the "keep reading" tab! body worshipping is very much the theme of this headcanon.

— characters. gojo satoru, geto suguru, nanami kento, toji fushiguro, choso

— taglist. @shadowarchon @peachsayshi @hisvillainess @noritoshiikamo @laudthingcat @lazy10ieiri @suna-reversed @nkogneatho @amaya-writes @saintgojo @dearestgojo @sassooda @booksweet (always leave me an ask + your age (in case any stuff is nsfw) if wished to be added into the taglist!)

SFW

— gojo satoru : your smile

gojo loves it when your nose is slightly scrunched up when you smile, especially when you're excited with the things you tell him when you got yourself a good cup of matcha latte. he loves it when your gums shows a little when you laugh into your smile. thinks that the genuine happiness your face shows truly makes you the most beautiful person he's ever laid his eyes on.

— geto suguru : your fingers

He makes it a must to hold your hand, to have your fingers intertwined whenever he's around. Which is a lot, considering he wants to focus on you and you alone. He'd nuzzle the tip of his nose on your knuckles, kissing your fingers and your wrists whenever you complained about it aching. His phone is filled with your nail art because he says it's as pretty as you, and he'd make a 3D cast of you two holding hands if he could. And he would.

— nanami kento : your neckline

ah. nanami's favourite place to land his lips on. those soft, sensual kisses he placed there, it brings jolts of electricity to your very spine, no? his hands love focusing on your neck line whenever you complained of your shoulders aching, massaging you gently, careful to not make you feel any more pain. and that necklace he gave you. doesn't it make your neckline look so pretty?

— toji fushiguro : your waist

he won't stop squeezing your sides, whenever he's near you. his arms circle around your waist as he pulls you close, pressing his body against yours, muttering to him just how lucky he is. toji's eyes stayed focus on you when you put on your favourite pair of jeans, a string of chuckles escaping from his lips the moment you complained how the waistband never sticks.

— choso : your eyes

the way it crinkles when you smile, the way your eyes light up when you see your favourite idol, artists, pictures of your pets as you take them. he loves it when you sneeze and your eyes water slightly. He loves it when your brows furrow when you get stressed from finishing whatever you have to do when chasing the deadline or when you're worried. He loves it when you used eyeliner or mascara and it makes your eyes pop. to choso, there's love, warmth, happiness, sadness, grief and joy in your eyes.

NSFW

— gojo satoru : your breasts

He loves how soft it feels whenever he gives you a gentle a squeeze whilst making out or when he's fucking you from behind. Your nipples are sensitive and it shows when your body twitches when it is pinched, twisted and licked. Oh how he loves sucking them, and that contorted look on your face that is of lust and pleasure? He lives for it.

— geto suguru : your ass

Just like Gojo, he has a thing for something soft and plump for his hands to latch onto. His lips curled into a soft smile as he gives your rear end a gentle spank. He loves how your favourite pair of cargo pants hugs your figure. And his little habit is to have you walk in front of him whenever you enter a place because it gives him that perfect view of your derrière.

"I hate it to see them leave but I love it when they walk away." Cheeky.

— nanami kento : your tummy

his canvas, as he says before he finishes it off with his cum spurting out of his cock and lands beautifully on your stomach, absolutely in love with the way it rises up and down, following your chest as you tried catching your breath. it makes his dick twitch, so perfect to his eyes. hah. you are indeed the sorcerer's greatest muse.

— toji fushiguro : your whole body

how it shakes after he's done with you. how your body grows limp when you've reached your high. how your legs wrapped tightly around his waist as he leans down to kiss you on your lips whilst fucking you like there's no tomorrow. he loves it so so much when you're on your fours and he admires your body line, the way your neck to your chest are filled with faint bite marks yet apparent hickeys.

— choso : your fingers

such pretty digits, he'd say to himself as he watches you stretching your abused hole, making you finger yourself while his eyes lingers on you. And it bumps his ego up a notch when you can't even wrap your fingers perfectly around his girth. How your fingers molded nicely with his when he held your hands as he fucks you stupid, kissing them, placing them next to his cheek as he admires you.

King Magnifico X Reader:

Part 3 Royal Duties: You’ve been tasked with helping both the king and Queen Of Rosas, But helping the king is all you really crave isnt it?

Warning: little saucy, kinda shy smut 🙈

Notes: kinda a short one because I’m technically working on a personal project and should be writing that 😂

“ The Apprentice should always keep the fire going, Because the king likes his tea hot.” Amaya said as she began to walk you up the stairs to Magnifico’s study. She tapped your shoulder as he spoke again “oh! And he also likes to talk quite a bit, just listen.”

You nod your head to her words taking in the information the queen was giving to you. “Oh! I’ve been told I’m a great listener.” You said with a proud smile. She smiled and turned to you.

“Just know some requests might seem strange, but why a sorcerer needs what a sorcerer needs is not your concern.” She says as you both make it to the kings door. You look at the giant wooden doors before they swing open.

“Ah, I thought I heard voices.” Magnifico said as he smiled at his two loves. “What are we talking about?”

“You.” Amaya says with a smile to her husband. You sigh softly watching the two interact, it was obvious how much they loved each other.

“My if that isn’t my favorite subject.” The king said in a flirtatious tone before placing a kiss to his wife’s cheek. This caused you to feel a bit jealous. It must have been written across your face because The king laughed. “Sweetness, envy isn’t a pretty look on you.”

He teased as he kissed your cheek as well. “Come on inside, we’ll get to work on your first potion.” He said as he waved for you to follow. Amaya smiled and looked at you two.

“I’ll be in the kitchen, I heard They’re baking your face cookies again.” Amaya said as began to walk away. You smiled nodding to her before following the king.

Once alone you noticed the change in king. He was busy doing what he said making potions. You looked at him watching as he made small puffs of smoke. He must have noticed your eyes.

“Yes?” He asked glancing at you. You didn’t say a word before wrapping your arms around him. He looked at you a bit confused but decided to ignore it. He smiled and kissed your head. “What’s wrong Mi Amour?”

“I want to relive last night…not make potions..” you say softly into the man’s chest. He chuckled and picked you up as if you weight nothing setting you down on his potion table.

He quickly began to kiss you passionately, your tongues dancing in a waltz. A small gasp escaped your lips.

“My king..” you said softly as your hands found their way back to his chest. “God..” you whined “your the only man who can make me feel like this..”

He chuckled as he removed his robes. “Good. Because you belong to me now..” he said as he began to slowly kiss from your jawline down your neck. you moaned softly feeling his lips touch your sensitive flesh.

“Magnifico…please..” you whined feeling as if he was toying with you. The only response he gave you was pulling up your dress to your hips. He made quick work of it removing your underwear.

He smirked as he dropped to his knees. He looked up at you with a smile. “This is fine right? I’ve been dying to taste you.” He said his eyes half lidded with lust. You felt a twinge of arousal spike through your body. You nodded eagerly.

He smiled before slowly moving his mouth to kiss your thighs. “So beautiful..” he muttered as his mouth touched where you needed him most. “Mm..” he moaned against you. He began to slowly dance his tongue along your entrance.

“Ah- magnifico…” you gasped as he touched your most sensitive part. He continued to tease and suck at it. “Mmm more..”

He began to slowly pleasure you until you screamed out in pure bliss. Once you finished he smiled at you. “Now can we work sweetheart?” He chuckled to you.

You nodded satisfied still coming down from your high of being eaten by your king. “Mmm yes..” you panted out to him as you began to tidy up your clothing.

He smiled softly as you hopped of the table. “Now where shall we begin.” He said as he pulled out a book about potions.

ASHA (MY AU)

Emmmmm how the hell do these types of blogs get started?

This post is just going to be me rambling on about what I want to do with Asha.

So let's get started?

INTRODUCTION: -As I said before I'm still developing this story (damn I don't even have an outline) but I wanted to start this rewrite (or plan it a little) because of something that really frustrates me about Wish, literally in a movie that commemorates 100 YEARS OF THE MOST IMPORTANT STUDY OF ANIMATION IN THE WORLD and the topic of art has not been given the importance it deserved, you know? It's like, yes, Asha shows her sketchbook in certain scenes, but then what? It literally seems like it's just for decoration, damn, Disney could have done the same thing as with the Miles Morales sketchbook in Spiderverse, but I'm already getting distracted from the topic, so one of my goals with this was to emphasize how important art can be , and not just the drawing, but all the forms that exist of it.

-So Asha is a little different from previous Disney princesses.

2. HISTORY:

CHILDHOOD: Yup! I'm joining the angst ship, I don't really blame anyone *cough* *cough* Flicker *cough* Bo *COUGH* *COUGH* ANNY *cough*, damn my allergies are getting worse. So Asha at this stage is quite cheerful and positive, basically like Rapunzel, Moana, Anna and this princess trope, however this takes place in the modern world (the movie would be set like in the princess and the frog movie only the world It's a little more modern) Asha discovers her passion for drawing, and as she grows up she wants to dedicate herself to that and is full of a lot of dedication and determination, but what would happen if we corrupted her dreams?

PUBERTY: “It's fine as a hobby…but it won't work Asha”, “Don't you like doing other more…useful things?”, “Come on, you have so much talent, are you really going to waste it on this?” , “Have fun without having a future” “Really this is more important than your other things Asha?” ,Yes, I am adding this, Asha wants to dedicate herself to animation, so Asha at first, like every Disney princess with character, ignores these types of comments, which came from anyone in general, some said it with good intentions and in a calmer mode and others in a more aggressive way (you know, being idiots), but when you receive this type of comments your entire life, it will somehow affect the protagonist, and it will only get worse *Insert evil laugh*

ADOLESCENCE: I didn't mention it but I plan to include Asha's family, or at least at the beginning, she was living with her parents Sakina and Tomas as in the official movie (I'm still debating whether to add Sabino or not), her father gets sick as in the original movie, so Sakina and Asha do their best to help him, then Asha has less and less time to concentrate on practicing drawing and in general her hobbies (I also want to emphasize that here Asha was doubting more and more about drawing as a professional way and started to despise her talent a little bit, not completely but that little seed had already been inserted in her head), her father was her biggest motivation, he was a dreamer like his daughter, her mother was more down to earth but equally supportive of her family, Tomas was always the first to see his daughter's drawings.

So continued the life of our protagonist, studying, working a little and drawing in the little time she had, and in those jobs she met Magnifico and Amaya, I'm still debating how I'm going to write them, but I'm sure I want them to do a scene with Asha that I'll explain later, for now let's continue.

One day Asha's father can't take it anymore and dies…….. all Asha could do was watch her mother running to her room because she really didn't want her daughter to see her in that state.

With that you're probably wondering, “Well, Asha can get a motivation to keep being a dreamer and pursue her dreams to follow her father's legacy rigth? “ Well actually………no, Asha in my Au unfortunately had already endured TOO many comments that referred to her dreams of being an entertainer or artist, even her mother had referred to it in a not so positive way (no, Sakina is a good mother, she's not perfect, but she cares like every mother about her daughter's future) , and without her major support in life, that…..eso ended up deciding that she would just give up on those dreams… or at least until a certain day.

CURRENTS: In the movie Asha is presented as a girl who studies a career that she does not like for the most part, but she says to herself “It's too late to redeem herself, there is no turning back, I just have to continue and everything will be fine, for me and my family”, she also works as an assistant to Magnifico and Amaya, during years of having met them she was getting closer little by little, in fact they knew the protagonist's family for some years but they had distanced themselves, they also “tried” to help with Tomas' illness, but as it was shown before that did not work out, now they gave Asha this job opportunity and she is not going to waste it, since she still has to help her mother.

Let's say that Asha doesn't draw much anymore, she still makes small sketches because, well, when you are really passionate about something you keep doing it despite the adversities, right? Even unconsciously (you're understanding what I'm trying to say, right? ), besides, it's not like she still deep inside has not stopped wanting to fulfill her dream, although she every time says that making drawings will not lead her to anything or just saying “it's a hobby that will not lead me to anything useful or important” is just to have a constant reminder that she might not make it, that it's not worth it, that no matter how much she loves to create and draw, it just doesn't make sense anymore.

Remember I told you about a scene between the villain duo and Asha? well this is what I have in mind:

Asha somehow or another is going to end up asking Magnifico and Amaya for help, which would lead to Asha maybe not working with them anymore or something so she can pursue a small glimmer of hope of fulfilling her dream of being an animator (as I say before, this post is just me rambling), the villain duo simply proceed to manipulate the poor girl by making snide and manipulative comments about her “insignificant goals” and her “wasted talent”, if Asha herself was already quite doubtful about these issues, this just makes her worse, she's lost, she doesn't know what to do, she's afraid of her future, she doesn't want to let her mother down, she doesn't want to end up being a disappointment (maybe I overdo angst, it doesn't matter, it's important for ✨character development✨).

Now a multiversal cosmic thing happens (that I'm still thinking about) but the point is that my Starboy (Haedus) and his 2 protégé/small brothers (Nembus and Naos) arrive, at first Asha is VERY SCARED AND CONFUSED, I mean, this is not possible right, she must be confused from crying so much - I mean this only happens in the movies and fantasy stories she saw as a child right?! (lmao)

At first she doesn't get along with Haedus, not at all, with the little ones at first she is a bit distant, but little by little she starts to develop a great appreciation for them, the little starlets (and then Haedus) throughout the story bring back to Asha that dreamy and positive side of her.

Also Asha is not the type of person who makes derogatory comments when it comes to the goals or dreams of other people and her friends despite having received them all her life, no, she is not that type of person, of course everything she has lived through makes her more sarcastic or pessimistic at times, but she doesn't want someone else to feel like her, she doesn't want anyone to go through what she went through, and this is only reinforced with the arrival of the stars.

I have to mention that Nembus and Naos make Asha remember how she was as a child: cheerful, positive, dreamer, and seeing how the antagonists want to hurt them, how that can destroy the hopes and illusions of the little stars, that just makes her more determined to defend the little ones at all costs.

“They still have dreams, and they can still fulfill them, that's why I won't let others destroy those dreams, not like me.”

3.PERSONALITY:

-Sarcastic -Negative to a certain extent -Empathetic -Indecisive -Calm -Organized

FINAL COMMENTS:

That's all I have for now, I hope I haven't bored you, as I said before, this is all just my rambling, I still don't have an outline or plan for this, anyway, I hope you had a good time reading this, see you next time!✨✨✨

[rascalentertainments]

Hey! Finally decided to write out a few questions I had about Wish Granted, so here they are.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Who’s your head canon voice for WG!Flazino? You may have already said in another post but I couldn’t remember. (UaS!Flazino’s is Milo Manheim, if you’re curious.)

On that note, how do you think WG!Magnifico and Amat would react to Flazino being prince and the biological son of UaS!Manuel and Amaya?

What other Disney movie do you think you drew the most inspiration from, if any?

Do we get to see an actual wish ceremony in the story? If so, when?

Lastly, any hints towards the ending?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It’s not a lot, but I’m kinda late to the party so most of the good ones have already been asked. Hope you’re doing well <3

HIIIII! I'm so sorry I'm late to this! Been finally designing the villains, and working, so I had to try and make time for this!

I briefly mentioned it in Chapter 1, but that was so long ago, lol. 😆 WG!Flazino is voiced by Josh Keaton! He's actually been in a few Disney projects, including the voice of Young Hercules! Chose him because he has a voice that fits his range of emotion from stressed out, to snarky, to genuinely trying his best. Plus he has a great singing voice. (Also, LOVE your voice for UaS!Flazino!)

2. On one hand, they'd applaud them for getting their Flazino under control with little to no hesitation or resistance. On the other, they're appalled that UaS!Royals even HAD a kid! WG!Magnifico and Amaya don't plan on having heirs, they want to stay in power longer than humanily possible, so they need all the magic they can get.

WG!Amaya would share a few spells that can UaS!Amaya to spy on UaS!Flazino when he's out of sight, or even spy on any possible traitor in the kingdom. (And they'd exchange tea recipes) Their respective pets would get along as well.

UaS!Magnifico would get along GREAT with WG!Mags. They both want the power of a star, and WG!Mags actually succeeded in getting a taste of that power. I can definitely see them going on and on about how hard it is to keep their Flazino's in line. Only, WG!Magnifico would slightly respect UaS!Flazino more for being a royal and not a peasant like WG!Flazino.

3. Hercules, big time! In fact, Wish Granted is part of an homage to the Disney Renaissance movies, where they just had super creative films one after the other! Hercules is actually one of my all time favorite Disney films, and Star's personality and strength is heavily inspired from it! Hell, a LOT of the humor is similar to Hercules, especially in Magnifico! (Plus I have a superhero story in development where is a combination of Wish, Hercules and Superman.)

4. Yes, actually! 😂 I didn't realize I NEVER showed one in the beginning. Oh my gosh, I'm embarrassed….

So it'll be shown during the set up for the finale! Once the royals gather up the people to make 100 wishes, they take in another newcomer to demonstrate their power. (So 101 actually!), it'll basically show what will become of the Hamlet when their wishes are taken. Magnifico plans to just eat them all and kill them on the spot if Asha doesn't give up Star.

5. I'll give you HINTS!!

Thanks so much, @snackara! I'd love to get more questions from you when you have them! They're so fun! 😁

I'll tag you guys in case you want some more lore here! 😉

Feel free to skip or ignore any of these if it’s spoiler territory! <3

1. I got the name Antares when I was searching names that mean “star” because I didn’t want to name the star boy, Aster.

2. I’m only going to be keeping “This Wish” and “At All Costs” and “Knowing What I Know Now” so I’m keeping three from the canon, and I’ll be replacing “I’m a Star” with Antares’ song, “Down There”, as well as “This Is The Thanks I Get?!” with the villain duo song “Our Command”.

3. I’m going to start of with writing the story and then I’m going to be working on the animatics/animations afterwards, for the musical numbers, I’m going to start composing some of the numbers on BandLab and then I don’t know about singing them, we’ll see.

4. Not yet unfortunetely, but I’m open to any suggestions!

5. Their names were used while I was researching names that meant their fitting personality which makes it a bit more interesting.

6. She was only 6 when her father died on the wishing tree, so she was taken at the age of 7.

7. You will see her in a purple dress towards the ending or even on the middle, what I could do is to try and create a wardrobe for her in her outfits that she’ll wear throughout the rewrite.

8. She unfortunately gave up Asha after her father’s death when she realised that his nature was the purpose as to why she felt alive, she also felt like that she wasn’t good enough to be a single parent just yet and wishes to do better, the rest is spoilers so I won’t summarise.

9. Wishing stars are only allowed to grant 2 wishes because they represent the past and the future of rebuilding your wish to make them come true, after a star grants all 2 wishes, they start slowly fading into cosmic dust back to the sky. The rest is also spoilers.

So how King Florian got himself killed like drinking a poison?

Alright, this is the part 4 of this Prequel I wrote with Amaya and Magnus backstory!

I'm in a writing Florian mood, this OC that has been just in my head for so long is finally getting loose!

If you wanna take a look on how he looks, click HERE to see @uva124 amazing design for him and young Magnus and Amaya!

So here’s how his death went:

King Florian is sleeping on his large comfortable bed, he groans as he wakes up, feeling a terrible headache that has been making him unable to do anything for days now.

“Ughhh my head…”

"Good morning, your majesty" Says a sweet voice from the side of the bed

"AAAH!" The young king get startled by the voice, he turns to the side of the bed and sees "Miss Amaya! You scared the life out of me!" He says shaken up by the sudden wake up call. He calls her miss even though she's just 5 years older than him, just to show respect.

"Oh dear, I’m so sorry, my king" The woman apologizes bowing her head down slightly.

Florian holds his head, still feeling pain, but then he realizes something... "Wait, what are you doing here? Weeks ago you said you'd be away in vacation for a while... I assumed you went to travel with my brother- ugh" He groans because of the headache.

"Heavens no! I wouldn't go traveling in the ocean, not after my past experiences" She chuckles quietly "I just needed a break from the confining walls of the palace, you know? For the past few days I was lodged with a lovely family of farmers"

Said farmers provide the food for the palace. Amaya poisoned their vegetables with a potion that would only give terrible headaches to someone that magic in them, a sorcerer such as Florian. It never affected anyone from the castle staff or the food testers, so no one suspected a thing.

"I see... So what brings you back?" He smiles at her kindly despite being in pain.

"Isn’t it obvious? I’ve came to restore you back to health. You poor thing, I should’ve never left, you’re clearly in desperate need of my talents." Amaya has a gentle smile and eyes full of fake pity. She picks up a tea cup from the king's night stand "Here you go, this will make all the pain go away" her voice is soft as she hand him the tea cup

The king holds the tea and sees his own reflection on it, he looks skeptical "Thank you, but I doubt it, I've been trying every healing spell in the library to get rid of these migraines, but nothing works… It feels more like a curse..."

"A curse? That can’t be, who would ever curse you? You’re so beloved by all of your people" She acts shocked, like she just heard the saddest thing in the world.

"I don't know, but THIS isn’t natural... And speaking of my people, I haven’t granted any wishes for days…" Florian places the tea on his night stand and starts to try getting out of bed, he’s distressed "I shouldn’t keep them waiting- I should at least check a few wishes today, then- I- I-" He feels his legs go limp and just falls back on the bed "Ugghhhhh" He groans in frustration with how weak he feels.

"Shhh come now my king, you must rest" Amaya sounds motherly, she caresses the king’s long hair to comfort him "There’s nothing to worry about, your people love you, they won't mind if they don't get a few wishes for just a little while" those words do indeed help Florian feel better "... What a shame that Magnus went to travel, hm? If he was here perhaps he could help you with the wishes" she says longingly

"Heh nah, he couldn’t do that since he got no magi-" Florian realizes he just blurted out his brother's secret that they both agreed to keep away from the public, and worst, he said it to the maiden his brother is in love with, he lifts his head from the pillow nervously trying to remedy his mistake "UUUH I mean- Umm- He doesn't USE his magic a much as me bu-but-" Florian tries to come up with something, but he's a terrible liar

"Hush now your highness, it's alright, I already know" Amaya said calmly

That caught him out of guard… Sure Amaya has been living in the palace for a year now, but Magnus was always so serious about hiding from others that he has no magic… He really must love her a lot.

“Oh- hehe of course… I should’ve guessed, you two are so close… It makes me glad that he found love, he really changed thanks to you, you know?” Florian looks at her with a thankful smile as he sits on the bed

“He did?” She asks innocently tilting her head “How so?”

“Growing up, he always been closed off and cold… But since you arrived, he has been so much happier and alive, he even started treating ME better, which is crazy cause for years he avoided even looking at me! -Ough” Florian gets excited talking about how his brother has improved, but his migraines start flaring up again, he lowers his head and holds it with both hands.

“Oh your majesty, please lay down.” Florian did as she said, laying back on the bed “There, now drink up, and I promise you’ll feel better before you know it.” She takes the tea cup and gives it to him with a caring smile “My potions always help you feel better, don't they?… And I made it apple flavored, I know it’s your favorite”

It was true, Amaya has been their royal potion maker for about a year, and her potions always did help Florian feel better whenever he had a cold or felt tired. He knew he could trust her.

“… Thank you, Amaya” Florian drinks the tea… it does taste like apple, but it’s really bitter, he makes a face of disgust but tries to hide it to be polite.

“Not to your liking? That’s quite alright, one sip is more than enough for the effects to kick in.” Amaya says as her gentle smile changes into a wicked smirk.

Florian is looking at the tea so he doesn’t see her change in expression "Oh no no! It tastes great hah ha" he lies, then he asks what he should’ve probably asked before even drinking it “And umm what are the effec-“

… Florian feels strange…

He feels sleepiness overtake him... But not like a nice sensation of drifting off to sleep, it's more like his eyelids are being forcefully shut down, he tries his best to keep them open, and he sees Amaya's wicked grin.

"It's nothing much really, you'll just fell a bit sleepy..." Amaya says still with her sweet voice. She takes the tea cup from his shaky hands.

He tries to speak but it's getting hard to breathe, it's like his heart is slowing down even though he's terrified as realization dawns on him.

"Then, your breath will still." Her smile shows how she's just having way too much fun seeing the gleam in his innocent big eyes being shattered with betrayal.

He feels cold, really cold, and it doesn't come from outside, the freezing sensation comes from within him and it's spreading through his whole body. He can't move, but he still manages to look at Amaya angrily with his last strengths.

"And your blood will congeal." She finishes listing the effects of the curse, amused with the young king's angry expression.

Florian tries to resist the curse, he tries to use his magic but he can't focus, everything is becoming blurry but he still hears Amaya's voice as a distant echo

"Oh don't fight it your majesty, just relax, you won't really die after all, you'll simply fall into a sleep LIKE death." She stands up from the chair and covers him with his blanket to look like the king never woke up at all "... Though you will be buried alive, THEN you'll die hahahaah aaah" She laughs devilishly

Florian is losing the battle as his eyes begin to seal shut, but he can still hear Amaya like an echo in his head.

She leans down to whisper in his ear "But I'll tell you a little secret, there is an antidote, wanna know what it is?... True love's kiss." She holds in more laughter like that's the punchline of the joke, as she starts to walk out of the room with the tea cup "Awwn... If only there was someone out there who loved you..."

Those were the last words Florian heard before his mind drifted off into a dreamless slumber, one that he never woke up from.

Magnus returned from his travel not long after, "devastated" by the news. He was the one who buried his "dear little brother".

Fixing Wish (2023) In My Sleep - Part 1

So, a few nights ago I had a dream. No, like, I was asleep and literally had a dream.

The dream was simple. I was explaining Wish, that new Disney movie, to my parents, and ranting about how it should have been better. Then I began to give my actual ideas for how it could be fixed... and I woke up, those ideas fresh in my mind.

So, here's part one of how I would fix Wish, and do it better asleep than Disney ever did awake.

First off, Asha is an attendant in the Royal Court. Specifically, she's a member of the Camarería, who acted as attendants to the Spanish Queen- since Rosas is meant to be based somewhat on Spanish and Mediterranean Culture, I decided this would be an applicable position! This would also give her a reason to discover Magnifico's "dark secrets" later on and begin to doubt him. She's also very close to Queen Amaya, and the two often exchange advice.

Second- Asha is no longer "adorkable", like the dime a dozen protags we get these days. She is, to be rather blunt, a bitch. Yes, a bitch! Asha will have great character development, going from a stuck-up, somewhat prejudiced woman to learning the true value of being good for the sake of others, and not just yourself.

Magnifico and Amaya, also, are a power couple. The thing about Amaya, though, is that you don't know she's in cahoots with Magnifico until act three. Basically, she takes on the role of a happier Simon, and to a much better established degree.

Speaking of Simon and the others, they're kicked out. Nope. Not having that. The cast is already bloated, we don't need six more crazy teens to worry about. I'm keeping Dahlia, because she's decent disabled rep (and God knows we need at least that nowadays), and she's the one with the most character in the group.

And of course, Starboy is a thing! Of course he's gonna be a thing, how could he not? He's a semi-shapeshifting being made from stardust and good vibes, and is usually seen with a smile and a wink. He's rather smitten with humanity, and Asha, but slowly becomes more disillusioned as the film goes on, and luckily a more developed Asha will pull him out of his funk.

Now... how does this all fit into the plot?

The Plot of the Film

The film begins with a storybook opening, telling the story of Rosas. It remains relatively the same, with Magnifico suffering loss and wanting to create a kingdom where that could never happen again. A proud, strong foundation for generations to come. He is joined by his wife, Amaya, in making this happen.

However, he doesn't just "learn magic" out of nowhere, no- he wishes on a star so long and so hard, that star "wanted to listen closer", so it fell to the Earth and imbued him with stardust. A magical substance, stardust has the ability to change reality and make dreams come true, so he began to do so for other people and created his kingdom with literal hope as the foundation.

Rosas, a kingdom of inspiration for a better tomorrow, sprung forth! Heralded by Magnifico and Amaya, once a month they have a ceremony to grant three people's wishes- after all, if they granted everyone's wish, chaos would ensue. Even the most out of loop person would understand that, after all. Anyway, people are selected, and their deepest desire made a reality.

Magnifico soon discovers that this is an excellent way to keep people at ease, and listening to him. His kingdom- he can't lose it to chaos! He will only grant the wishes that have the kingdom's best interests at heart. It's for the good of everyone... right? Amaya certainly agrees.

Asha, a somewhat arrogant attendant, is helping Amaya prepare for the monthly ceremony. Amaya muses about the importance of knowing what your heart wants, and then states she doesn't know where her pen is to write out the names of the ones chosen. Asha offers to get one for her, and searches Magnifico's office for a pen and parchment too (because she's that helpful, of course). However, she stumbles into the Wishing Chamber, where Magnifico is... muttering about something.

Asha listens in, curious. Magnifico is staring off into space, saying something about how "wishes these days are so senseless", when he sees Asha, and questions her presence. Asha states she's trying to find a pen for Amaya, and Magnifico chuckles, whipping one up from a splinter of wood and some ink.

Asha returns, a little frazzled from Magnifico's demeanor, but quickly changes her tune when she sees the kingdom, and sighs longingly at its view. Asha starts to sing, the first song of the movie: "Life in Rosas". It's upbeat, but has an air of prejudice, with Asha noting things like how she climbed to the top and deserves the best, and otherwise acting indifferent to most of the plights in the kingdom in favor of her good mood. Think "Candy Store" from Heathers- it's catchy, fun, but isn't about a well-meaning person in the end.

At the end of the song, she walks by a child who is chasing a ball down the street, and she initially thinks nothing of it. But Amaya walks by, and she instantly changes her tune, helping the kid catch it. The viewer now understands she likes to help when it directly benefits her- in this case, staying in Amaya's good graces.

Amaya questions about her quest to find the pen, and Asha gives it to her, hoping she didn't seem too foolish. Amaya, however, commends her for being distracted by the "good of the kingdom", and happily states that she couldn't have a better confidant. Asha grins, feeling validated by her idol, and Amaya announces the ceremony is to begin soon.

Well... that's where I'll end this first post! It's super long already, and I'll be sure to add the second post and continue the story- we haven't even gotten into the meat of it yet!

PART 2 - will link when ready :)

King's Quest Fic: "Priorities," Chapter 3

Lady Piernoir,

I have done some thinking about the conversation we had at the Lily and Throne last week. I told you I would write to you once I had made up my mind about whether serving Count Carolus was for me. Well, I have decided. It was kind of you to offer me a place in your household, but I think I can do better here in the Count’s castle.

I would like to take the chance to remind you that I have a sister who is looking for work, and that if you ever have an opening for her, I’d be glad for you to write to me. So I can get in touch with her. You can pass the note on to me through the guards at the gate – they’ll make sure I get it.

Grimm

Dear Amaya,

I’m just praying that they’re right and milk works just as well as invisible ink as lemon juice does, because I sure couldn’t get my hands on any lemons. But if you’re reading this, I guess it worked well enough.

I know we’re trying to keep letters to a minimum, but there’s new information you have to know about before any more time goes by. I have to keep this short, so I’ll stick to the most important things:

Whisper and Acorn are definitely here . I rub shoulders with Whisper just about every day, and I tracked down Acorn too. They’ve been made servants too – or slaves, really. Amaya, the Count doesn’t seem to have any magic himself, but he’s got a collection of these horrible rings that make the servants and guards’ minds warp. When you’re wearing one, it starts changing you slowly, making you feel loyal to the Count.

And there’s no way to take them off without the key. I know, because he fitted me out with one too. I have tried everything to get it off – sliding it off with butter or axel grease, filing at it, smashing it against the stone wall. I thought if I could just get it off, there might be a way to fake I was still wearing it, at least to anyone not looking closely. But nothing works. It might as well be a diamond for all the good  filing does to it, and it won’t budge no matter what I do with my finger.

But I’ve got to get it off. That thing started working instantly the moment I got it locked on. I don’t know how to explain this, but the whole time I’m writing this, I feel just so. Guilty. Not like I’m nervous to get caught. More like I’m doing something ungrateful, or even downright wrong, telling you the Count makes us slaves or that I want to take the ring off. I feel like going to him and making a clean breast of it all. Of course I won’t. I can reason it through, and I know what’s actually happening to me. But I’m worried about whether I’ll be able to do that long term, just based on what I see in Acorn.

He's much further gone than Whisper, even though I guess they were brought here at the same time. They’ve got him working down in the armoury (one place in the castle you’d probably like, if the situation were different.) I’ve managed to meet with him twice. The first time he recognized me, and Amaya, he was furious with me for coming there, even when I told him it was a rescue mission. He kept talking about how the Count depended on him, and he couldn’t up and leave, and he wasn’t going to stand for bad talk about him. He seemed to realize the ring was affecting him, but he said the magic in the rings only magnifies what you already believe, and he believes in the Count. I couldn’t get through to him, and I was worried to push too far. I was afraid he might turn me in. The second time I was sent down there with a message, he had a hard time knowing who I was. Like I was familiar, but it was hazy. I am still trying to decide if I should try to remind him who I am, or if I can do him more good by just being another servant who’s noticed some disturbing things.

Whisper’s all right, I hope. Further along than me, but when we were alone it seemed like a big relief to him that I was there. He wanted to know if I was going to get them out. Of course I told him I would. He’s trying to put a brave face on it, but I can tell that “loyal” voice in his mind is louder than mine is. He wants to get out, but he also wants to obey. But he’s hanging on for now. Funny that Whisper should be doing that better than Acorn could.

I have no idea what timeline my own mind is on. I need to check in with you somehow, so that if things start getting bad, you can intervene. Maybe it’s good you weren’t able to visit Lady Carolus because she was giving birth that day – this gives you a fresh chance to try and call on her and try to strike up a friendship. Which I will need you to do if you ever suspect I’m losing myself. I can’t write you check-in letters. That would be too suspicious. We need to save these for the really important news. So, I don’t remember – can you see the tallest tower from the Lily and Crown? I’m a family servant, so I’m housed up there. Maybe the whole signalling with a lantern thing is overdone, and suspicious, but I think it’s the best we’ve got. Every three nights, around midnight, I’ll put a lantern right in the window, just for a minute, and then take it away. If you see it, you’ll know I think I can keep going. If I miss it twice, please find an excuse to come here if you can. Make Whisper and Acorn the priority if it comes down to it.

(I hope I forget about this signalling thing if my mind goes too far. It would be awful if I remembered and tried to use it against you. But what else can we do?)

There’s barely any room left on either side of the paper, so let’s leave it at this: I have a few plans to try to get our friends out. I won’t write them here for now, but things are underway. If it’s safe to, please keep Number One up to date with everything going on here in Arkney.

I’d tell you to be strong, Amaya, but that would be ridiculous coming from me to you. So – all the best.

[oh-shtars]

Bonjour, good day, I come with more questions~

1. What Disney character do you think most inspired each character in your rewrite?

2. More Rani loreeee

3. Does Rani have star magic? Although feel free to skip this as it might spoil your ending with Sueño

4. Does Hopes & Dreams have any other pet names for each other?

5. If Ashueño is similar to a genderbent Rapunzel, what dynamic is the royal couple like?

6. What trope best fits Hopes & Dreams? What about the royal couple?

7. Do you have any scrapped ideas you want to share?

8. Are the other character’s wishes important to the story?

9. What Hazbin character is each RFTS!character like?

Oh wow-

I get so happy whenever you guys leave asks and stuff like this. Thanks so much! 🥺💖💖 LOVE YA BO!

If y’all ever send me an ask and I haven’t answered it yet, please know I’m not ignoring you. I either don’t know how to answer it yet or I’m too busy atm. (Especially with exams coming up. Ew.)

(Looking at this, I feel more guilty the more they stay there. 😅 But hey! At least you can look forward to more content, right?)

Anyways, Onto the asks!

1. What Disney character do you think most inspired each character in your rewrite?

I remember doing this one post as a little fun game for everyone to share 3 characters that inspired their main characters. But since you asked for just one and it has to be a Disney character, guess I’ll do that.

You can visit the post if you want to see mine and other AUs’ participation.

Asha = Belle (Beauty and the Beast)

Sueño = Aladdin

Magnifico = Hades (Hercules)

Amaya = Zarina (Tinkerbell: The Pirate Fairy)

Valentino = Younger Simba (The Lion King)

(I don’t have a solid personality for the 7 teens since they’re not going to have as big of a role. I do have their key traits in my notes so I can look back to it as a guide. But I’m just going to go with the flow when writing their scenes.)

……..

2. More Rani Loreeeeee

I haven’t even finished a final outline for the main plot of the RFTS!story, so idk even for a sequel. Maybe I’ll do some random drawings of family bonding moments and just him being a precious little guy.

(Hypothetically speaking, IF both Asha and Sueño survive the tragedy I’ll inflict on them. I mean what- who said that?)

All I know for Rani is that he’s someone who’s not sure what is the one thing he’s passionate for. And in this kingdom where everyone is so sure what they want and striving to achieve it, he feels lost. Surely, people only have one passion, right? Why can’t he find and settle for one?

Whenever he finds something he could be passionate about, Rani feels icky at the thought of just permanently sticking to it from now on. But at the same time, he criticises himself for being ‘irresponsible and indecisive.’

He “longs” to know his place and know what he wishes to do exactly. Rani doesn’t like being told, “But you’re so talented!!” because he personally thinks it’s unhelpful. It doesn’t make his choice of picking one passion any easier.

He also doesn’t really like vague answers to his questions and gets frustrated with it. “Believe in yourself.” “You’ll get there.” “Keep going!” “You’ll know it when you feel it.” “I don’t know what you’re aspiring to do, but I bet you’ll do great.” Well guess what? He doesn’t know what he’s doing either. :D

Also: *G A S P*. Not a strong believer of Wishing stars nor looking to the sky for answers! 😱 Rani prefers to “see-it-to-believe-it.” A more down to earth person who wants real solutions, not just hoping for something to magically happen.

(Some stuff might change but here’s an overview of Rani just like you asked- :))

…………

3. Does Rani have star magic?

Ehhhhh, I’ll say he has general knowledge in magic and just about anything he finds interesting and gets his hands on. Not really star magic, though he has the skill of a fast-learner when learning about regular magic. Again, Rani’s existence may or may not be hypothetical. 🤷

………

4. Does Hopes & Dreams have any other pet names for each other?

Sueño is not really one for pet names since he adores Asha just as she is, including her name. But in his head and through the sign language he eventually learns, he does sometimes call her: “Love or My Sky”

(I love “My Sky” so much because it FITS him. He loves the feeling of freedom and is claustrophobic. So he’s basically saying he feels so free and happy to be around her. Also, *coughs* Bo. “Sky”. My Sky. “Cielo”. Amirite? This was unintentional, I swear-)

For Asha, she calls Sueño: “Starlight, Mi Sueño (this is her fav one ofc), Sunny (though this is more general), Hon/Honey.”

For the last one, I have a silly headcanon that Sueño comes to have honey as one of his fav foods. It sort of rhymes with his other nickname, “Sunny,” and Asha thinks it’s hilarious to tease him with the “honey” nickname when he gets all sticky.

Idk why I even came up with this, but the thought that he’ll eat anything, even food he usually doesn’t like, that is dipped in honey on it is just funny, okay? And it connects to Hal too since I remember she’s meant to be a beekeeper. (This may also be a cute little reference with Winnie the Pooh if Sueño shapeshifts. Hehehe)

Btw, stars can taste but not go hungry. Like how they touch and feel stuff but not feel pain when inflicted or hit by something. If it’s dark magic, then that’s the only exception and they can feel pain.

…….

5. If Ashueño is similar to a genderbent Rapunzel, what dynamic is the royal couple like?

Idk actually. I made Amnifico or ‘Grand Despair’ from scratch without referring or getting inspired by any couple I know. It’s mostly songs and vibes I’ve collected to create their dynamic. Same with Ashueño. The Rapunzel similarity was not intentional. 😅

(I think you should be worried because my RFTS!Spotify playlist has lots of angst- lol.)

Uhhhhhhh, maybe Grand Despair can be something akin to Charity and P.T Barnum from the Greatest Showman. But darker and eviler.

A guy who promises something for his beloved, gets carried away, and eventually forgetting what this was all for in the first place. :3

……

6. What trope best fits Hopes and Dreams? What about the royal couple?

Hopes and Dreams:

“Soulmates/Fate” (I think we can all agree that these two are meant to be, either platonically or romantically, in any universe both AU and Canon.)

👏 SLOW 👏 BURN👏 (That pang of realisation always gets me)

Thinks she’s no one special x Treats her like royalty

Grand Despair:

Doomed Romance

Pissy x Only one who calms him down

”Us against the World”

……….

7. Do you have any scrapped ideas you want to share?

Not anything that wouldn’t spoil some stuff for the plot. Sorry 😞

……

8. Are the other characters’ wishes important to the story?

Hmmmmm. I guess they influence the narrative and further establish the conflict of the story.

Like, the characters are used to just taking the easy way to achieve their dreams by waiting for the day Magnifico grants them one morning. They can make as much as they want. Unbeknownst to them, they’re stuck in this cycle of always wanting more but never satisfied.

They keep wishing and wishing, believing that they have no chance of reaching it on their own without their king’s help.

I’d like the main theme to be: not being afraid to dream big and “Reach for the Stars” but you shouldn’t expect grand things to just come to you instantly. You’ll need to take faith and work for it. Why? Because the whole journey getting there, regardless of the many struggles, is worth it and it sure is something to look back and be proud of.

It sure is what Walt Disney did, isn’t it? :)

……..

9. What Hazbin character is each RFTS!character like?

It’s kind of difficult to pick from the Hazbin cast what each RFTS!character is like since one plot is based off of dreams and everything nice while the other is literally based in hell. 😂

But I’ll try:

Asha:

Emily was the closest I could think of. (Since I literally couldn’t think of anyone else. Oof-) Not really referring to the happy, excited part of her. More like the “I believe these people deserve a lot better than this” and eventually finding her voice to stand up against authority for the people she cares about.

Sueño:

No, not the aggressive and assertive side of Vaggie. Lol nope. More like getting attached to the MC that helped them get back onto their feet, warmly welcomed them in this strange new world, and now they would do anything to help them get their dreams come true whatever it takes.

(Also, a secret they’re keeping that’s eating them up inside with guilt and constantly worrying that the MC would hate their guts if they knew. Oops-)

Magnifico:

I’d say the fake-ass showmanship he puts out in public but in reality, he’s really done and exhausted with his audience. He’s still pretty charismatic when he wants to be but I can see him losing his cool quite easily, leading to outbursts.

Amaya:

Idkkkk. The main cast of Hazbin don’t really fit RFTS!Amaya’s vibe so I just went with Lilith despite how we know nothing about her at the moment. (This is probs gonna age badly-)

She’s a parental figure to someone who trusts her a lot but in reality, her motivations might not be what they seem. She could be willing to sacrifice other people if it means she gets a benefit out of them.

[kingmagnificoofrosas]

I saw Magnifico’s influence by the evil book as an allegory to substance abuse/addiction. Yes, his actions were not great, and he never should have threatened his wife with a staff. But he wasn’t in his right mind, and Amaya should have known that and known what happened to drive him to that point.

Addiction is a disease. It turns people into monsters, but with a good support network of loved ones, the chances for kicking that addiction are bigger. But instead of doing that, instead of rallying the entire kingdom to wish for Magnifico to get better, and use the wish magic to beat back the dark magic, Amaya immediately turned against her husband, acted like he’d always been horrible, and then threw him away.

It was awful to see. You don’t throw away or vilify someone with an addiction. You get them help. Disney had a perfect opportunity to show that the irredeemable villain was mental illness, but instead of that, they doubled down on stigmatizing it, and vilifying a man who was unwell.

Hi anon!

Yes, I agree. While Magnifico's situation is trauma related, we can surely also see it as an allegory to an addiction. This makes the whole thing even worse. Disney had the perfect opportunity to rise awareness that such people need help rather than punishment!

Indeed it was awful to see everyone backstabbing and writing Magnifico off. I just wanted to jump in and get him away somewhere safe. Then hug him, rub his back and tell him everything's gonna be alright!

On the other hand, what we saw happen at the end of the movie sadly showed what's going on in the worlds society today perfectly. Many just don't understand the gravity of mental illnesses and conditions, trauma, addiction etc. That makes it even more important to me to keep this blog running and make sure Magnifico is getting celebrated 💙

When I saw this ☝🏻 I was instantly reminded of a feeling that I know too well. It's that feeling when something just triggered a trauma response and you're torn between the reaction of your body, the pain/anger in your soul/the memory, the feelings of the current situation, your logical side of thinking that tells you - you're not in danger, this is not the past, you don't need to react like this but you just do, you cannot help it! Your brain is split into two ways of thinking. One side that still reacts according to the past, telling you to react that way, and the other that tries to fight it. And it's like you have different parts of yourself completely messed up and for that moment you cannot think straight.

When Magnifico went to the evil book saying he never wanted to do this, I felt it so hard! Like, you don't want to react a certain way, you don't want your trauma to take control but sometimes you just feel forced by it. Someone without trauma cannot understand.

The intensitiy of trauma responses varies. Sometimes it can feel as if your soul is getting choked and you have a hard time breathing. To outstanders it can also be confusing sometimes because mamy symptoms can be similar. For example anxiety and panic attacks and a fit of a ptsd response to a trigger.

The different, broken refelctions are chaotic and this displays perfectly the storm of emotions going on in Magnifico's soul.

It's hard to explain 😅

He needed a tight hug, a lot of love and compassion 🥺💔

He's totally stressed out mentally! He needed a break.

"My mom used to do that." for claudiez 👀

as always they're in their 20s... Plus send me a number with a ship and i'll write it &lt;3 accepted ships are tdp canon ships + rarepairs (claudiez, sopreli, corvus/terry, sorvus)

There's very little that Ezran remembers about Sarai.

He remembers the warmth of her smile, he thinks. The softness of her hair in his chubby little hands. But beyond that, there's not much else—too recently weaned before her death for more than stories he's heard to take hold, and even then, it feels like every year Harrow (until he couldn't) and Callum, or even Aunt Amaya, would bring up something new, something small, that they remembered, and he was learning it for the first time.

Mom always wore little gold beads in her hair.

Those were her favourite pair of earrings.

She planned out the castle gardens, with those hedges over there.

Soren, even, citing that she was his first sword-fighting teacher back when she'd been captain of the guard, before she and Ez's dad had fallen in love.

Her birthday is always hard, an added winter chill growing throughout the castle. Ezran ensures more fires are lit, and Claudia enchants little glass jars of orange light with her Sun primal, for people to carry in their pockets to keep them warm. He dons his more heavily furred royal cape and keeps Bait close while he writes letters to his brother and Rayla in Xadia, climbing the cold steps up to the rookery to send them.

Claudia joins him more often than not in his study, to save on candles, she says, as they do their work long into the night, but Ezran thinks she just likes his company, his heart doing a hopeful little dance in his chest. He steals glances at her atop the rim of candlelight dancing in her green eyes, now with that spark of light in them that'd been gone for so long during the war. After the war, too.

"You know," he begins, when they're heading to the study after lunch, "we could go to the library. The fireplace there is warmer. There's more comfortable chairs."

We used to always sit up in the library when it got cold, his dad had said, and Callum would play on the floor with you in your mom's lap.

Claudia thinks for a moment, then grins adorably. "Why not?" she says.

They settle in with tea and jelly tarts as an extra bonus, Claudia easing off her prosthetic and letting her stump be close to the fire; Ezran knows the cold makes the phantom pains worse this time of year. (Terry still sends over a herbal remedy that helps with it from where he's set up an apothecary on the border of Del Bar and Katolis with Corvus.)

More of her dyed black hair falls in front of her ears while she works, making notes on charts for what magical goods will be imported once the ice melts, and Claudia pushes it back impatiently until she sits back and begins braiding it. It's still shorter than it was in their teens, no longer all the way down her back, but long enough to braid as she starts the process, fingers jolting.

Dark magic took a lot from her, but one of the things it left was permanent nerve damage in her hands. (The cold makes that worse, too.)

"My mom used to do that," Ez half-remembers, half-recalls. Another story about the differences from their royal portrait—the one real non-Callum produced picture of their mother he has, the way he pictures her in his mind's eye—and how she'd worn her hair in a braid just as often loose or in a bun.

Claudia smiles then, softly. "She did. She's actually the one who taught me, after..." Lissa, another woman Ezran has never really met, isn't a wound anymore, but it's still hard during this time of year. "After my mom left and I grew my hair out."

Ezran sets aside his letter to an Evenerean diplomat, rising when she struggles again. "I can do that for you, if you like."

"Oh. You don't—"

He steps around easily to stand behind her armchair. "Let me?"

Claudia turns to the front fully, exhaling. "Alright."

He gathers her hair gently, hands confident due to the way his father had shown him him growing up, but styled a bit more the way Moonshadows do their braids, like how Rayla had demonstrated. For love and affection, she'd said, having small, long ones tucked away behind thicker locks for each of them—Callum and Ez and Soren, her boys, and then for each of her parents.

"There," Ezran says, finishing. He takes off his cape too for good measure, and drapes it across her shoulders. Claudia is looking at him wide-eyed when he walks back around to face her, and he passes a hand self-consciously over the patch of hair he's growing on his chin.

"Thank you," she says at least, tugging his cape further over her shoulder. The royal red brings out the green of her eyes and black of her hair. It suits her.

"Don't mention it," Ezran says, sitting again. They catch each other's eye, briefly, and share a smile, before she blushes a bit and looks away.

He feels warm for the first time all day.

Soultember Prompt 4: Fun Holidays, Handwriting day Jan 23ed

Fandom: The Dragon Prince

Summary: When your soulmate writes on themself it appears on your skin too. Soren likes writing his soulmate and Corvus sort of likes answering.

  'Heyyyyyy' Soren wrote on his arm, 'how are you?'

    Corvus looked down at his arm, feeling a slight tingle in it. It was his soulmate. He always felt his soulmate was a little too silly for him. He was so serious and quiet but they were funny and energetic.

    Soren checked his arm throughout the day, waiting for his soulmate to respond. 'Hello????' He wrote impatiently.

    A tingle, 'hello.'

    'Oh hi! How are you?'

    'Fine, how are you?'

    'I'm good!' Soren fawned over his soulmate's handwriting. It was so clear and neat.

    Corvus sighed at his. He wondered what fate could have in store for two people who clearly seemed to be opposites. When he talked to Gren about it he said 'opposites attract.' It was the most, least helpful piece of advice he could have given him.

    Grabbing a cloth Corvus dipped it in water. He gently ran the damp cloth over his arm and dried it off. Sitting on his bed, he put water back on the floor.

    As the lines smeared, Soren took a cloth from the table. He couldn't find any water so he tried to just use the fabric to get rid of the ink. Placing the cloth of his skin he roughly pushed the cloth into his skin, trying to keep the smudging at a minimum.

    'Take your time.'

    Soren Smiled. He drew a little happy face and put the pen down. Leaving his room, he set off to get some water.

    Gren walked into Corvus's quarters. "What are you up too?"

    "My soulmate wrote. He sure likes to."

    "I think he'll be good for you" Gren smiled and walked over to the bed. "Someone has to get you out of your shell."

    Corvus ignored the commander's comment.

    "What do you know about him?"

    "Not much, we can't share our names. He's in the crown guard of Katolis."

    "See, you already have something in common! You're both in the Katolis military!"

    "I suppose we are."

    Soren walked right into Callum as he rubbed the drying ink off his arm. "Hey step-prince!"

    "Oh, hey Soren."

    Callum looked at Soren's arm, "writing your soulmate?"

    "Yep!"

    "How's it going?"

    "Good! He actually wrote back for once!"

    "Have fun with that. Tell them I said hi."

    "Will do, step prince."

    Soren rushed off to his room where he could continue talking to his mystery person. 'Im back!'

    Gren grabbed Corvus's arm, "what did he say?"

    "I'm, not sure." He drew a question mark next to the illegible words

    The guard chuckled then wrote slower. "I'm back." He spoke to himself.

    Corvus smiled. 'I see that.'

    The two wrote for a little longer before someone walked into the tracker's quarters, "both of you are needed by General Amaya."

    "Okay. Tell her we'll be right there." Gren got up, "let him know that we need to go."

    Corvus quickly but neatly wrote that he had to go. He pulled his sleeve down, leaving the ink there. Most of it had dried.

    The guard took his chance. He pulled his pen out and started to trace what his soulmate had said. Each stroke was placed with deliverance.

    Though the meeting Corvus had a hard time concentrating; the tingling feeling from his soulmate writing in his arm almost worried him.  It felt like it was always the same thing in the same place.

    As soon as the meeting was over, Corvus, followed by Gren, walked back to his quarters. He threw the door open pulling his sleeve up. There was, nothing new?

    The tingling was still there. He had to be okay. Gren handed him the wet rag and he quickly scrubbed the ink off. But nothing changed.

    Soren felt a change. He grabbed the rag by his bed and cleaned his arm off.

    'Are you okay?' This time it was Soren who drew the question marks.

    'Are you okay?'

    'Yeah why?'

    'You were just writing a lot. What did you write?' Corvus sighed and turned to Gren, "he's okay."

    "That's good."

    'I was tracing your words. I like your handwriting and want to have better handwriting so you don't have to draw so many question marks '

    Corvus smiled. 'Thats sweet.' His stomach filled with butterflies.

    'Awww thanks!'

    Gren sat down next to Corvus, handing him a rag so he could clean off his arm. He took the cloth and rubbed it on his arm.

    'Im going to go train for a little bit. I'll write to you later!" Soren rubbed everything but that off.

    'Okay.' Corvus laid down.

    "I told you it would be okay."

    "You were right."

How did Amaya look at Charo and thought to herself that he would make a good pet? The same way she saw Magnifico? Looking like a pathetic drenched rat in an alleyway ,cat in this case?

What countries are the nearest to Rosas and what countries are their trading partners? What fashion is seen the most in each section from east to west?

And most of all,how do the nobles earn their money? like how?

Julian's family I understand but the others? How large is the economic divide of the noble and peasants if Asha's family couldn't even afford one servant? Or part-time workers?!

How close are the seven with each other? Feels like Dahlia is a bit strained with some of them. I won't say names but *Achoo* And some of them seem awkward with some since Nacho joined. I feel as though some of them are keeping secrets. Looking at you Bazeema.

On side note,I find Dario enjoyable as he's such a wild card and does not know what's happening most of the time while simultaneously knowing too much that either counts or not in a situation a lot of the time.

PS. I like Ceph as much as I like Australia.

Amaya is a very sympathetic person lol maybe too sympathetic (that magnifico drag is INSANE tho 😂🤣🤣🤣 wow I think he’s actually dead)

Geographically I wanna say their closest countries is probably France, Portugal and Spain? Their trading partners are (Disney logic time folks) Arendelle, Corona, France and Agrabah. East part of Rosa’s is a lot like new York in that it’s home to a ton of different people all over the world so there’s no ‘set’ fashion standard there other than say everyone avoiding the color purple. West is more Mediterranean aka the style that’s native to Rosa’s itself.

Nobles earn money through either inheritance, court politics (earning favor with the king so that he gives them some political power) or they run successful businesses. For example Camilla’s family owned a bunch of inns all over the western part of Rosa’s. Many nobles run businesses abroad too but had to go through the clariveaus if they wanted connections/permission (hence why the clariveaus are currently not missed)

The economic divide is still there and kinda big for what you’d call ‘utopian’ but I don’t think it’s as vastly wide as you’d see in other countries.

What Asha does not know or failed to mention is the fact that her grandfather is rather open about his hatred of the king.

Everyone knows it, and everyone knows it would be unwise to associate with someone like that when if you want to move up in life you pretty much need the king’s favor. So they probably just up their hiring prices and whatnot.

The whole thing was to show/point towards how the disconnect Asha feels isn’t exclusive to her but rather her entire family. And I mean isn’t it a little strange how after all that service and work Tomas gave the king the king couldn’t even give his surviving grieving family a noble title?

((Idk if those are thorough explanations but I do hope they’ve answered your question!))

The seven are actually five in this universe! They are pretty close with each other but things definitely got strained when nachos left (you’ll find out why!) they’re all torn over Asha tbh. She’s the one thing they can’t or rather won’t agree on.

Lol *bazeema hides*

Im glad you like my Darío! He’s pretty fun to write!

Ayo?! You like Ceph as much as Australia?! What’s that supposed to mean?! 😂😂😂

[shshshquietnow]

I needed some fantasy whump in my life, as well as a good self sacrificial whumpee, scary very very powerful whumper, and a hostage of a caretaker.

...

Torrents Under the Skin

Contents: fantasy whump, magical whumper, whumpee, AND caretaker, hurt no comfort (for now), torture via magic, intimate whumper, hostage situation I think? Kidnapping

...

She kidnapped her. SHE KIDNAPPED HER.

Ryn ran through the forest frantic- her and Amaya had been traveling through after...

It was still fresh in Ryn's mind, still fresh on all her senses. The pain all throughout her body as the sorceress Invidia and the look of glee on her face as Ryn screamed...

The two adventurers has picked up rumors of the sorceress's evil... assassinations and blood sacrifices and all sorts of things... not to mention she had killed Ryn's mentor, and Amaya's father and sister. Just a few days ago the girls barely made it out alive, and now somehow Amaya had been captured in the night...

Ryn drew a rune in her notebook, tracking down her friend up to the edge of a cliff side. It was night it was windy... but the sky was clear and the moon was full, leaving perfect view of Invidia standing by the cliff, Amaya struggling against glowing chains.

The sorceress tilted her head down at the girl as she approached. "Hello there, love. Nice to see you meet us, even if it was in a less than timely manner. I was considering throwing your friend here off the edge out of boredom."

The runesmith had her notebook open, magical feathered quill in hand- passed down from her mentor- but her hands shook... Invidia was far too powerful a sorceress for an inexperienced runesmith to take on. Based on the look on her face, Invidia knew this.

"What, no talk?" Invidia fake pouted. The longer she stood there- pretending like they were having a friendly chat while she had Ryn's best friend held hostage, the more Ryn's anger boiled up. "You had a lovely scream though... I was looking forward to hearing your cute little voice again."

"Let. Her go." Ryn tried to keep her voice as even as possible, which was very difficult through the anger and fear. She clutched her quill like a lifeline.

"Ryn-" Amaya winced as Invidia looked over to her, the chains tightening. Amaya had informed Ryn many times that shapeshifters are prone to claustrophobia and the fear of being trapped or restrained... "Get out of here, I'll be fine-"

Amaya cried out in pain as Invidia clawed her hand, Ryn recognized the way her veins glowed... a pain spell, the sane one that Amaya had spent hours calming Ryn down from when they got away from the sorceress the first time...

Invidia let up on the spell, but it was clear Amaya was still in some pain, with the added discomfort of the chains. The sorceress took a moment to peer down at the adventurer, as Ryn acted fast, writing down a messaging sigil and stuffing it in her pocket before Invidia turned back around.

Invidia tsked down at Amaya's panting form. Ryn could see brown fur trying to poke out from her friend's skin, but the chains seemed to be preventing Amaya from shifting at all, another nightmare for her kind. "Now look at what she's done to herself... so set to get hurt, love?"

"YOU did that!" Ryn snapped at her, her face hot with anger. "She didn't do-"

She was cut off by Amaya's continued screaming, the chains taking on a red hue as they tightened around her, Ryn restated the urge to cover her ears. "INVIDIA! STOP- PLEASE JUST-"

"What was that?" Her voice was sickly sweet, taunting. "I couldn't hear that over your friend's screams. Sounds starkingly like her sister."

Ryn was going to be sick, what did Invidia want from them?! Why did she just kill them in their sleep...

She runesmith closed her notebook, unsummoning her quill as she put her hands up. That seemed to pique Invidia's interest at the very least, Amaya gasped, breathing heavy as the chains dulled down. She wasn't screaming anymore...

"I'll- let her go and I'll go with you," Ryn didn't bother trying to control her voice. "And you can kill me or torture me or whatever you want just let her go. Please..."

Invidia slowly blinked, almost like she wasn't expecting such a show of sacrifice. A slow smile creeped across her face as she glided over to Ryn. The runesmith held her breath as Invidia grabbed her chin, turning her face side to side, like she was inspecting a particularly interesting beetle.

She hummed. "You really are just like your mentor. Gave her life- willingly- for that dingy little village."

"Are you going to take my offer?!" Ryn bit out, she could feel her throat closing up, Invidia so close to her and Amaya still on the edge of the cliff and the taunts about her mentor...

Invidia peered down at her for a few long minutes. "Hm... I've always wanted a little dolly."

Ryn's heart stopped. "... what?"

"I accept your offer, love," the sorceress snapped her fingers, the chains melting off of Amaya. "You're just too darling to turn down."

Ryn didn't have time to think through what the sorceress was saying as Amaya heaved a breath and growled.

"You..." the shapeshifter snarled, baring her teeth. Invidia snickered as she turned around, Ryn stuffing her hand in her pocket to activate the message rune. "YOU-"

"Leave, leave leave now, you have to leave."

Amaya blinked, the words entering her mind. "She's a monster- she's going to kill you!"

"She's... she doesn't want to kill me-" the idea put a lump in Ryn's throat. "I'll escape, I'll find you again just PLEASE go..."

Amaya looked at her friend, looked at Invidia, then looked at the cliff behind her. She took a deep breath, giving Ryn one last pained glance as she shifted into an elk, speeding away as fast as possible around the side of the cliff away from the mages.

"You're not escaping, I'll be rescuing you. I'm so sorry... I'll find you I swear."

The message rune deactivated in Ryn's pocket, used up as Invidia clasped a hand on her shoulder.

Mages could feel eachother's magic, that's what her mentor had said. You couldn't tell the difference between a wizard or a sorcerer or druid just by touching them- not without years of experience- but any mage could tell how powerful another mage is.

The power under Invidia's fingertips felt like the full force of the ocean to Ryn.

Invidia chuckled. "You're all mine now, love. I can't wait to hear that little scream of yours again."

All at once Ryn was hit with a wave of exhaustion, Invidia made no move to catch her as she fell onto the grass. Her eyes dropped closed, the only thing she was aware of as she fell out of consciousness was the ocean of power under Invidia's hands as the sorceress picked her up.

"Sweet dreams, love..."
