A Demon Slayer AU where everything is the same except Muzan has a different hat in each scene he's in.

The hats get more and more ridiculous as the series goes on 😂 like one day he rolls up to the Upper Moons meeting wearing this thing 😭

Great, I have to draw him wearing this now 💀

I love fanfictions a little too much, I think. Like my parents think i am reading flipping mrs dalloway ( which I still want too) or Sylvia plath. When, in fact, im reading a fiction about mirandy having a child together.

Edit: the fanfic was called ' an unexpected request'

Just a Little Change

By Andrea Fernandez and Trevor Spencer

[damienkarras73]

"Little baby bunting / Daddy's gone a-hunting / Gone to fetch a rabbit skin / To wrap his baby Agnes in…"

This is, admittedly, a bit of a Christmas present for myself.

In 1974, Bob Clark (later of A Christmas Story and Porky's fame) directed Black Christmas, a taut little horror thriller that, along with The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, immediately preceded the slasher subgenre that John Carpenter would codify with Halloween just a few short years later. It was shot in Toronto, as evidenced by some of the accents on display, and remains a hallmark of not only horror cinema but Canadian film as well.

As a "proto-slasher," Black Christmas wasn't beholden to the rules of later slashers—which is to say, it features well-developed characters and some real pathos. There's a sense of humour running through this movie that manages to humanize its characters while never intruding on or disrupting the scares. It also feels decades ahead of its time, explicitly addressing female bodily autonomy, male harassment of women, and how law enforcement fails to take the latter seriously.

This is a genuine classic that I make a point of turning out the lights to watch every December, and I felt it would pair well with this deeply, profoundly haunting rendition of my favourite Christmas carol, "Carol of the Bells," by the American Boychoir.

Bell

There was a bell

that rang

in my dreams.

It was beautiful

and I 

was careful

not to ring it

too loudly --

lest I wake.

BOOK REVEAL!

I've been working on this baby for the past year and half... CRUMBLE is written by me, drawn by the lovely Andrea Bell and coming to shelves from Algonquin in February 2025.

Crumble asks the important question: 'What if you could REALLY eat your feelings?'

[smallsinger5901]

okay but how old is Becca Bell actually when Andie is killed? bc Pip says she's '21/22' in modern day, which lines up with Jess Walker saying she was '17' when she started trying to imitate Andie at the calamity parties... but also she says there's 15 months between the sisters, and unless my memory is worse than I thought I could've sworn Andie was also 17 (which is obviously impossible, 15 months between two 17 year olds?)

anyway, anyone whose brain isnt being fried over medium heat with all the seasonings bc of exams, can you please explain?

Disney Parent Backstory for Belle's Parents

(Since I already did the Beast's here)

Original painting by François Boucher “Shepherd and Shepherdess”

Maurice and Gabrielle

Maurice de Beaumont was born to a well to do merchant family who lived in Paris, the dreamy young son with less than stellar people skills, who would have much rather spent his time inventing then learning the family trade

His elder sister Marguerite had a much better head for both people and finance and would have enjoyed running the family business if she'd had the chance, and always rather resented the fact that Maurice didn't appreciate the opportunity he had to do so

Despite the fact he had no desire for the trade Maurice was resigned to taking over the family business and leaving his dreams of inventing as dreams only--until he met a beautiful young shepherdess one day while out a trip to the countryside 

Little did Maurice know that the kind (and surprisingly knowledgeable about the latest advancements in science) shepherdess Gabrielle was actually a fairy, sent out by the Fairy Court to do good deeds and help inspire mortals in fulfilling their worthy dreams.

As  in her journey she had wandered into Our World, a place that was less used to open magic, Gabrielle had disguised herself as a simple country shepherdess tending her flock in the south of France. She was delighted to have discovered the enthusiastic mind of Maurice, working to inspire him in actually creating his inventions 

Maurice was soon spending each day of his trip sneaking out to speak with Gabrielle, and the friendship began to quickly turn to deeper feelings, though both felt conflicted over their new feelings 

Maurice because he knew his already disapproving family would certainly disapprove even more of his infatuation with a common shepherdess 

And Gabrielle because she knew she was an ageless fairy and Maurice was all too mortal

But finally Maurice told her that he was willing to risk his family's wrath and possible disavowal if she was willing to have him, he'd rather live happily in a pasture with her then miserably in a mansion without her

And Gabrielle realized she too would rather  live only a few years with Maurice then an eternity without him

And so she approached the Fairy Queen and asked her to take away her immortality so that she could live out a full mortal life with Maurice.

 Several of her friends, ( including s prickly Enchantress she had befriended during her time in Our World) tried to talk her out of it, saying it was foolish to throw away her immortality for a mere mortal. Many of them had loved mortals but they hadn't given up their powers for them. There were always a few mortal children underfoot in the Court and they held them dear, but after all mortals came and went so  quickly.

But Gabrielle persisted, she had lived a long life, centuries, but she'd never felt as fully alive and happy as she did with Maurice. She knew that despite his cleverness he had no latent talent for magic and so could not hope to gain immortality for himself, and so she would give up hers to be with him

And so Gabrielle relinquished her immortality and accepted Maurice's hand, marrying at the end of the summer and journeying back to Paris with him

His family, true to Maurice's predictions, were livid at first, but Gabrielle was so well spoken and charming and clever that they found themselves won over despite themselves, and she was eventually welcomed into the family--she even helped her new father-in-law see sense and give Marguerite control of the business's finances, and the business flourished like never before

For several years Maurice and Gabrielle were incredibly happy, Maurice inventing, Gabrielle inspiring many people, her salons becoming a sought after event. And they were eventually blessed with two daughters, Belle and later Clarice 

Unfortunately tragedy ended up touching them, and when Belle was 14, one of the waves of sickness that passed through the city over the last few years carried away most of Maurice's family, including Gabrielle and Clarice 

The tragedy left Maurice and Belle devastated both emotionally and financially, but miraculously they discovered among their ruin that they still had the deed to a small cottage in a far off provencal town, where they could start a new life away from the site of their loss…( a little gift from the Enchantress, the least she felt she could do after failing to sense her friend was so ill)

She's such a cutie I'm so sad she was cut :(

(Also incredibly small detail, but the house that Maurice and Belle move into is what's left of the old mill that was Corinne's home)

Second Round (1/16)

Well, this kinda defeats the point of seeding the bracket. This should be, like, a quarterfinal matchup, but I'm not sure I can fairly change it. Have I mentioned I don't know what I'm doing?
