#and we had a scare-rabbit instead of a scarecrow because the rabbits were eating all of our vegetables

Once or twice a year I am hit by a massive wave of homesickness for America that makes me literally nauseous and almost feverish. Anyway I am metaphorically turning my heart inside out as I think about junky old Lincoln, Nebraska and a mice-infested farmhouse and living off of food stamps.
#mousehours#sort of#i was five years old and we had a pet rabbit named Floppy#we thought it was a girl rabbit but it was actually a male 🤷🏻♀️#also we had a garden but nothing really grew except our onions#and we had a scare-rabbit instead of a scarecrow because the rabbits were eating all of our vegetables#and I had a secret hideout behind a tree and some bushes where I kept my bob the builder toys#and once my brother and I locked ourselves in the attic and had to be rescued by our dad taking the door off the hinges#there were cracks in the bedroom windows that the wind whistled through#my sister and I got to paint our room half pink and half purple#my brother was seven and just starting first grade and he cut himself with scissors#and fell down the stairs to the basement one day#our neighbours were farmers and they let us put up a rope swing in their hay barn#I was so tiny the grass reached my chin and whenever we went running through the hay fields I was assaulted by grasshoppers#*ping* on my forehead#the church smelled like potatoes all the time and the Sunday school teacher was named Miss Becky and I loved her#she gave me a toy horse for my sixth birthday#…#personal

For when you want... I thought of something very cursed while closing last night. What would happen if the world of Who Framed Roger Rabbit went through a Dorothy Must Die scenario.
Don't ask me where this came from, I don't even know how it'd work 😭 but what I briefly thought of last night was that, for some reason, the world of toons gets blocked off from humanity (maybe they were considered too dangerous after the story of Theadore Valient got out?). And Doom, instead of trying to enact his plan to replace Toontown with a freeway, decides this is the perfect opportunity to take over and control the toons instead. So basically, Doom is DmD!Dorothy (I did not need the image of Doom in the gingham dress, but my brain went there 😭)
This was mainly imagining the Toon Patrol as the DmD trio, admittedly 😅 being Doom's enforcers and striking fear into the residents of Toontown in this AU. Psycho and Greasy are like Scarecrow, being the two most feared of the patrol for similar and different reasons. Smartass and Stupid could be similar to the Lion, being more on the dumb side, but also not questioning Doom and happy with his position as his seargent. That leaves Wheezy most like Tinman; deep down, he knows that all this is wrong, but he doesn't try to stop Doom or Smartass for his own reasons. They use DIP to scare the citizens into obeying these new laws, but they're far more grusome and dangerous here, just like the trio are in DmD. Can you imagine that bubble gun Tin's soldier used on Indigo, but with DIP?? (Ngl, I've been having fun imaging Greasy as the Scarecrow in particular).
I'm not sure who Amy Gumm would be, probably Eddie if he ever decides to visit the tunnel again or somehow got a job that required him to get close to Toontown and he got captured. Or it could be an original character. But Jessica and Roger are part of the rebellion to take Doom and his patrol down, along with various other characters. They're war torn and traumatized, but they're still kicking.
I have no idea why I thought this, but here you go 😅😅😅😅
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS!! Especially Scarecrow!Greasy, oh my g o d. Let me just- let me just- *gets out copy of Dorothy Must Die, which is heavily sticky-noted and thick from rereads already, and starts reading through all of Scare's bits imagining my favourite weasel* ... would it be crazy of me to write fanfiction of this concept!?? XD
YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO ME.
The only thing 'cursed' about this is Doom in gingham 🤣🤣🤣 But its all just 👌👌👌 Perfect! This was such a gem to wake up to XDD
I also love Stupid getting a main character part for once!! We too often let him fade into the background and this weighs heavily upon my soul, as I'm sure it does yours 😰Lion!Stupid would be so adorable!! Lion!Stupid developing a particular interest in a servant at the palace; them of course becoming his Favourite. Lion!Stupid struggling between his sexual appetite and his hunger for blood, licking and sucking and tasting his S/O any time that they're intimate; whimpering when they bleed because he got too rough with them; wanting to eat them. He wants to tear them apart and feast on their flesh, feel his teeth sink into their fat. Lion!Stupid feeling curious about this desire- because he loves them, doesn't he?? He doesn't understand. Lion!Stupid going to his good, old, most trustworthy, most intelligent friend Scarecrow!Greasy asking about it. Scarecrow!Greasy saying basically that he doesn't blame him- Stupid is an animal, after all. And that Y/N... is a delicious little morsel~ Do what feels right, Greasy tells him absentmindedly, going back to his work (Greasy never did alot the Lion much of his precious time, anymore, since Dorothy came back. Sometimes Stupid wondered why everything had changed). Follow your excellent, leonine instincts. Lion!Stupid returning to his lovers bed that night and doing exactly as his good comrade told him. Lion!Stupid eating what he loves (Lion!Stupid never losing the perfect taste off his tongue). Tin Woodman!Wheezy giving him a word of advice, later; that old friend of ours is crafty and cruel, Stu. Everything's different, now. 'ts best if ya don't trust any of us.
#clever clever concept!!!#okay so you've combined n'ever after and weasels (fairytale au)#and now dmd and weasels.#... may i suggest n'ever after and dmd? XD#i like tin woodman = granny // scare = big bad // lion = kiddy#BUT ALSO--#i think tin = kiddy // scare = granny // lion = big bad is my favourite XD#i mean?? i could totally imagine kiddy doing terrible things for That One Person he loves#and granny is obviously the smart one. IMAGINE HIM COMING UP BEHIND YOU AND HALF CHATTING/HALF THREATENING ASTRID!READER LIKE SCARE ON PAGE#423!!!!#and big bad as the hungry hungry rough animalistic war criminal type monster who still likes his old pals is just perfect XD
