“Disney 100: Years of Magic”

I can't believe Disney is now 100 years old & it’s going strong! I'm proud of this art piece because it features my favorite characters including Mickey Mouse!

Another drawing of my apprentice, Raya! This time with shading and a much more practical outfit!! 💙

[frie-ice]

Both Sisu and Mistral are blue colored Asian dragons with their own human form, who would pass this crossover up. I don't know if I'll cross ship or simply friendship them, just thought that featuring these two dragon women in the same crossover collage would be fun. For example, I learned that the Paramount+ film was based on The Tiger's Apprentice novel by Laurence Yep.

Okay, what do we think about : Raya!AU Breakbee ?

(I thought of this AU because Raya's father reminded me of Optimus)

Thousands of years earlier, manifestations of Unicron appeared and destroyed the planet, but the Primes managed to repel them at the cost of their disappearance, leaving behind only the Allspark.

Now, Optimus is its guardian and trains his apprentice/son, Bumblebee, on this mission.

Optimus invites all the other factions to a party to put aside their differences and reform Cybertron.

There, Bumblebee meets Breakdown, with whom he quickly bonds. He's a Decepticon and a very skilled warrior, as well as a speed freak like him (he's not directly related to Megatron, but he's very charming, so Meg chose him for her plan). They chat and socialize over the course of the few days of the party. Bumblebee even decides to show him the Allspark.

Except it was obviously a trap, all the factions get involved, and the Allspark ends up shattered.

The creatures reappear, Optimus sacrifices himself to save Bumblebee, and the world descends further into chaos and apocalypse.

So it's up to Bumblebee to try to recover every piece of the Allspark and perhaps find a way to defeat Unicron for good.

Bonus: Megatron and Optimus have a history together, but OP hopes peace is possible and is happy to see Megatron calm during the party (he's not the one doing suspicious things).

Alternatively: there are no other factions than the Autobots and the Decepticons, and the Allspark shattered into pieces that scattered all over the planet, and the Decepticons kept the largest one. The Decepticons are also looking for the pieces and have Breakdown leading the research team.

Idk if you still think about Wish (2023) but I feel like a huge problem with it, specifically Asha's character, was that she just fit the "adorkable" stereotype instead of being her own character.

It made sense with Rapunzel - she's never been outside before, so of course she will be a socially awkward clutz. The same goes for Anna, but this character archetype started going downhill for Disney in Moana. It might seem like it fits since she's never been off of Motunui before but it's not like she's never talked to anyone.

The "adorkable" trend became its worst with Asha. What do you mean she's socially awkward and clumsy but still has the trust of the ENTIRE KINGDOM and wants to be the King's apprentice??? How???

I feel like if they made her personality a little more like Cinderella's and Tiana's she might have been more likable and believable - being a stern, gentle, and hardworking woman who takes no crap but is still kind and caring deep down. This could contrast her with the naïve, cheerful, and bubbly Starboy (I always mourn the storyboard drawings of them together) and even make a comparison between her and King Magnifico, maybe even becoming a central conflict with how Magnifico's ambition for power turns him evil because of his lack of morals, and without Starboy Asha would've gone down the same path if it weren't for him reminding her about what really matters - being purely good and not letting anything stray you away from being a good person.

Sorry for the ramble but I just have SO many thoughts about how Wish could've turned out 😭

I don’t find Moana “adorkable.” If “adorkable” means “socially awkward” or “spazzy with her emotions,” (like Rapunzel going “I KNOW! -playing it cool- I mean…I know.” Or Anna going “It’s TRUE LOVE”) then that’s…kind of just “being young.” And I’m sure, with Rapunzel and Anna, being lonely for a long time contributed to that My-Emotions-Splash-Everywhere-Every-Time-I-Get-the-Chance thing their personalities have.

But Moana doesn’t have that. If you mean she cracks jokes, like rambling to Pua about not eating pork, or singing at Maui, those aren’t “adorkable” traits. They’re just a teenage girl’s sense of humor. Teenage girls mock their friends’ little phrases all the time. Teenage girls shriek at the top of their lungs when they’re excited. Teenage girls ramble when they’re nervous. That’s just one shade of normal teenage girl behavior. If you’re tired of seeing it, maybe you’re tired of teenagers.

And she has her own personality besides all that. Moana is intensely stubborn in a way that can be insensitive or bullheaded. She is prideful—she thinks she’s special because the Ocean choosing her validated those feelings. She also has what Asha does not—believable motivation for most of her decisions.

I mean, what do you want instead? Is it time to admit the “adorkable” thing started with Ariel and Mulan? Did you want a mature-adult-type teenager, who have “maturity,” or “patience” as character traits, like Belle or Cinderella? Or were you hoping for a Jasmine type—immaturity in the form of sharp tongue and temper? “They tried doing the whole “no jokes, this is a serious adventurer” thing with Raya, and it sucked.

What I’m saying is, giving a girl a rambling mouth—especially when she’s on a solo-adventure for a significant portion of her movie—isn’t a cardinal sin. Neither is giving her moments of dorky clumsiness (especially in Moana’s case, it’s humanizing when she runs into something or gets something wrong, because she’s otherwise phsyically pretty capable.)

As far as Asha goes, I definitely still think about Wish, and I actually agree with what I think is your main sentiment—she doesn’t have any personality so they just slap “sometimes clumsy sometimes unflatteringly goofy” onto what’s an empty husk.

The thing is, her main motivation isn’t relatable. It’s not very human. She spends three seconds in the presence of the leader of her whole known world, worldview, and culture, and instantly knows exactly what’s wrong with that worldview, world, and culture. No confusion, no hesitation, perfect right answer instantly. She wants her grandfather to have his wish—but he was fine without it, and nobody ever clearly defines what a wish even is in this movie in a way that’s relatable, so we can’t relate.

It would be like if you took Mulan’s desire to save her father from physical injury, mixed with a desire to prove herself—and then you replaced that with “Mulan desires to speak with the tongues of dragons.” Mmmkay that sounds neat but what the heck does it mean and why should I care, or remember it when I leave this theater?

Everyone who defends this movie likes to say, “Asha’s selfless, she just cares too much about everyone else’s wishes, she wants them all to be happy!” But you know what, that’s not relatable. Because it’s flawless.

Belle is selfless. Belle gives up all her dreams and goes into her worst nightmare—living with a selfish, conceited monster—to fave her father.

But did you catch that? She has dreams. She doesn’t know exactly what she wants, but she wants to have a big, important life. That;s not necessarily selfless, and it’s part of her personality. Guess what else? Her worst nightmare is living with a selfish, conceited monster. So she actually has something to develop.—being able to be kind and loving, anyway, and give conceited monsters a chance.

Asha has nothing like that. From the first moment conflict is introduced, she knows what the right thing to do is. She has no self-focused desires, allegedly. She’s just a told virtue with no showing, no real person inside.

I mean jeez, even Aurora, whose whole character is supposed to BE a “Symbol of Virtue, Personified” still lays her head down and cries when she can’t have the man she loves. Even Cinderella gets annoyed with Lucifer.

And what’s the deal with that recently? Where’d all the annoyance go? Why is it Moana doesn’t get into any serious, believable arguments with anyone on her crew in Moana 2? Loto starts chopping up the BOAT THEIR LIVES DEPEND ON and Moana’s just like, “heyyy budddyyy could you maybe nooot?” All passive-aggressive and smiley, she’s not even a little irritated. Neither is Loto. And no matter how grumpy the old man is, nobody is ever fed up with him. What’s the deal with that?

Why is it Asha is never fed up with or loses her temper at Valentino? Nobody hurts each other’s feelings in these movies anymore. (Sabino yelling at Asha doesn’t count because it came out of nowhere and again, the THING he’s yelling about isn’t believable, it’s nonsensical.) Why doesn’t she talk back or argue with Sabino at the table like Mulan does? Why is she fine to argue with Magnifico, though, the villain? What happened to all that self-righteousness? Oh, we can’t use it. Not when it’s a character that is a good guy. Because our good guys can never do anything slightly unlikable to fellow good guys.

What’s the deal with that in these movies nowadays? The relationships have no flaws or teeth. What’s with that? Am I the only one noticing that?

Anyway

A bunch of Ymir headcanons

While I'm busy painting big and serious stuff I brought you some wholesome headcanons I've developed on count Ymir

☾ Sometimes Ymir falls asleep during work/stargazing/etc, so Jolàn and Anna gently carry him to his cell. Yuri crawls into his bed and they see sweetest dreams together

☾ Yuri grows up into a giant fingercreeper and Ymir sleeps on his palm, tenderly covered with fingers. Girlies sometimes sleep like that too because Yuri is really spacious.

☾ Ymir and his daughters have matching nightgowns with ruffles and starry embroidery. Ymir wears white or blue, Jolàn and Anna wear black ones!

☾ Jolàn and Anna aren't sorceresses yet they do enjoy stargazing with Ymir and listening to his lectures.

☾ The sibling dynamics: Jolàn is a responsible eldest sister, Anna is a second child with attention issues, Yuri is mother's beloved youngest child. Sometimes they argue but they are pretty close

☾ Girlies help Ymir with handling the corset, hiding the squirming beneath (this hc was born in discussion with starrythroat)

☾ If you follow me long enough you know my favourite Elden Ring character, who is Sorceress Sellen btw. And here is a little hc linking her to Ymir because my faves should know each other lol Master Azur was a teacher and researcher in Raya Lucaria the same time Ymir was. Azur introduced Sellen as his most promising apprentice, and they gazed from time to time into the stars together (+Lusat ofc). The Carian Glintstone Staff Sellen possesses was Ymir's farewell gift to her as he left the Academy because he saw a potential in her

[florian-luster]

𝔏𝔦𝔬𝔯𝔞 𝔱𝔥𝔢 ℭ𝔢𝔯𝔲𝔩𝔢𝔞𝔫 𝔖𝔬𝔯𝔠𝔢𝔯𝔢𝔰𝔰

Early in her days in the Lands Between, Liora became the apprentice of the expelled and banished Sorceress Sellen, from her she learned the basics of Glintstone Sorcery.

She adored her master, aiding her throughout her wishes and quest into Raya Lucaria. 

As she travelled through Liurnia of the Lakes she defeated many sorcerers in exchange for the knowledge of their spells.

She made her way through the magic academy of Raya Lucaria, defeated Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon, and gained her sorcery and staff.

After her triumph over Rennala, her mentor Sellen had a portrait commissioned of her in the style of the Raya Lucaria paintings.

Liora would claim the throne of the Elden Lord, ushering in the Age of Stars at the behest of her consort, Ranni, the Lunar Princess, claiming her title.

During her time in the Lands Between she would encounter an Evergaol and a church containing a warrior, a former candidate of the Elden Throne in the grips of a frenzied madness. Her spell, Lucidity would, for just a moment, alleviate this knight of his maddened woes---long enough for her to acknowledge him and bring him a moment's peace.

She is noted with the title 'Cerulean Sorceress' after the colour of her cloak and spells -- later on due to the potency of her glintstone magic her eyes would take on a blue hue as well. (this is noted in a later portrait found in the Shadow Keep)

Very few traces of Liora are found in the Land of Shadow minus her presence in one room of the Shadow Keep. This room is assumed to be her workshop as after finding herself in the Land of Shadow she pledged herself in service as a mage to Messmer, lord of the castle.

In this portrait, her eyes match the blue of her cloak. Her cloak is down and her hair is undone from its normal twin braids.

Also found in the room is a partly burned letter which reads of Liora's fondness and adoration for Messmer but is singed before it can say too much.

Hot take: Asha should've been written similar to Charlotte La Bouff

Eventually I'm gonna be able to move on from my dissapointment that is "Wish," but then I remember it's been less than a year since the film's came out, and I don't feel that bad. Anyway, allow me to explain my viewpoint: why Asha, the charismatic hero of Rosas who overthrows the (suddenly) power-hungry king, could've leaned more into characterization similar to Charlotte La Bouff, a spoiled rich girl in New Orleans.

Their exposition and personalities--Asha is introduced to us as a teenager from the get-go, with us introduced to her family for a split second before starting her job as a tour guide to Rosas, while Charlotte's first scene is as a child in her father's mansion with her friend and her mom (as her father is her "best customer" for ordering custom dresses). First impressions are everything, and both leave VERY different impressions: Charlotte is depicted as a spoiled child while Asha is a young woman who's kind and outgoing. However, while this makes Asha SOUND better, it in reality shows how shallow her characterization is: her qualities are indistinguishable from other Disney women, particularly ones of recent films. Meanwhile, Charlotte's flaws are presented first, showing that she's used to getting what she wants as a rich white girl in the Southern United States (Asha's own culture isn't really explored; it isn't a requirement, but her grandfather at the very least is older than Magnifico, and where he comes from and her mother's North African heritage isn't featured, either). Even her brief interactions with her father offer more than Asha's with her mother and grandfather, showing how much Big Daddy has enabled her. I would've enjoyed more situations into Asha's family life and how they influence her (especially since her dad is a huge influence on her but he's mentioned, like, only a handful of times), as well as her being less cookie-cutter. Her personality doesn't help her stand out from Moana, Anna, Mirabel, or Rapunzel, at least not positively.

Ideally, Charlotte's spoiled behavior would've been a neat personality trait for Asha. Disney's tinkered around with a female lead with significant flaws, ie Raya and Judy having prejudice against certain ethnicities/races, but it's not something the characters fully embody, with their positive traits shining through until the climax when their perspective on their journey changes. Making Asha someone who's spoiled and expects her wish to be granted (perhaps because she's a tour guide and in her mind, brings a lot of positive press to an already magical country) sets her up in a unique space for a Disney protagonist, having gotten what she wanted from her family (maybe they were poor before Rosas and spoiled Asha when they arrived) and often told that if anyone deserves their wish to be granted, it's her. This is a sharp contrast from the film, where Asha's goals are altruistic and wants her grandfather's wish to be granted. Asha being self-centered would also explain why she has seven "friends" who feel very underused; she sees them as only important when they're around her, and since she likes the focus on herself, she often doesn't like to be part of a big group. Making her a Kuzco figure to where she actually doesn't realize how harmful she is also gives some likeability to her, since marketing a hero who's deliberately cruel and says "and what?!" would probably not be the best at being marketed, even if she changes. It'd also give rise to why she thinks she should be Magnifico's apprentice; her fame, greed, and self-centered personality makes her entitled to the role, to which the wizard-king rebuffs, as well as rejecting to grant her wish, either because it's vague, dangerous, or she's undeserving, setting up the conflict.

2. Their flaws--Asha isn't written with any, tbh. She tells Magnifico that she "cares too much," but aside from coming off as disingenuous whenever someone says it about themselves, there's no time in the film where her caring about someone so much ends up hurting her or anyone else (well, you can argue it does, but it's not acknowledged as being her fault or something she needs to work on). Charlotte, on the other hand, is seen as a work in progress. For most of the film, she's depicted as a young woman who means well, but is often blinded by her own life and making her ignorant to other people's problems, ie helping clean Tiana up after her restaurant plans go under, but failing to ask why she was upset. Tiana was her friend, but her happiness was a bonus for Charlotte rather than a requirement (maybe not all the time, but a lot), and it isn't until she sees that Tiana is in love that she's willing to give it up. Honestly, it's slightly surprising; while Charlotte isn't completely selfish, she doesn't go through a journey of self-reflection where she realizes she hasn't always been an emotionally present friend for Tiana, and it's actually her innocence and daydreaming of fairy tales and love that convinces her to help Tiana, showing that her positive traits (that some may have labeled additional flaws) helped her come to a fair conclusion.

Connecting to part 1, Asha being selfish gives her a significant flaw that affects her journey and how she interacts with others. Charlotte likes to socialize, and her father's finances allow her to live in ignorant bliss to what goes on around her. She can be demanding and rash, wanting what she wants WHEN she wants it, and the shallowness makes her easy to manipulate in Dr. Facilier's (and Lawrence's) plan. Making Asha a selfish dream-chaser could have her undervalue her friends; perhaps she took advantage of Dahlia's connections and used them to get access to the castle and an interview with Magnifico (assuming her being hired as a tour guide was done informally; still confused about that). Perhaps she grants an evil wish, or her dream of getting her wish summons an innocent star that helps give her her wish, not realizing the consequences of either actions. It's a "what could possibly go wrong?" situation driven by tunnel vision. Seeing how she hurt others and how it causes them to resent her--and even make Asha resent herself--changes her mind to how she sees things, even remembering her time with her family and how when her father died and her family showered her with gifts and attention, she sought out power to fill the void she developed at her father's death.

3. Their inspiration--In TPATF, Charlotte's mindset isn't just driven by her riches, but her romanticism of fairy tales. She dreams of finding a prince, becoming a princess, and living happily ever after. She equates the fantasy with her future reality, and believes that Naveen's handsomeness and exoticness is just like princes in her storybooks, which isn't surprising, since the USA hasn't been tied to a monarchy in centuries and thus conflates them with other fantasy aspects rather than practical aspects. Since Naveen is popular in the tabloids (but apparently his lack of resources is a recent development, as knowledge of it not to be widely known), Charlotte has probably seen the life he lives and wants a life like that of her own. Asha, on the other hand, has her dreams motivated by her father, who is unnamed and seen once in a brief flashback during "This Wish" and mentioned only a couple times. Meanwhile, her mother and paternal grandfather, like her, are archetypes, providing support to her until she challenges the king. However, when the king himself reveals his nature, they support her. They don't have any specific characterization outside of her grandfather's wish to make a song to inspire the next generation (which IS super vague, to Magnifico's point, and kinda cheating in an artistic sense), and Asha's mom's own wish is never stated. They feel very flat and cheap; they could've easily been replaced by Asha's friend group.

In my opinion, I feel like the perfect idea for a Disney anniversary movie is to make Asha either love or despise fairy tales, and while it may scream "I'm not like other protagonists" at first, I'd go with the latter. Asha being someone who doesn't care for fairy tales and considers them misleading (seemingly because they make achieving a fairy tale ending sound easier than it is, but in actuality she's concerned that her actions and words are more equated with a fairy tale villain) but comes to love and appreciate them encapsulates the Disney company's message of having dreams. Charlotte's love for fairy tales helps her overcome her own selfishness in order to support her friend, and Asha realizing how powerful dreams are and that wishes carry a lot of weight (and you know, actions have consequences that you can't always avoid) would be a nice celebration of Disney's legacy.

This ended up being longer than I thought, but tell me what you think! I was also gonna use Nakoma from "Pocahontas" for the discussion (essentially making it a "What a rejected Disney princess could've learned from Disney princess' best friends" essay), but she and Charlotte are so distnct that I didn't wanna go off on two different tangents when talking about how Asha could've been written--but a sarcastic girl who likes to avoid trouble but likes to have fun still works.

You know, since there were commercials for both the live-action remakes of Lilo and Stitch and HTTYD during the Super Bowl last night (go birds), it got me thinking on how so many animators, cartoonists, artists, and people within the animation community bitch and whine about how much they hate that Disney keeps making remakes. I’m not here to give my opinion on any of them, BUT one of the complaints I often hear from people is that these movies are “excuses from Disney to not make original stories”, which is arguably the dumbest excuse out of all of them. First of all, these movies aren’t being made by the main animation studio, they’re being made by the live-action film division, second of all, MOST OF DISNEY’S MOVIES AREN’T EVEN ORIGINAL STORIES TO BEING WITH!!! Literally every movie made by the main animation studio prior to the movie Dinosaur was an adaptation, spin-off, or sequel of some kind; in fact, Disney has only ever made 11 original movies, with those movies being Dinosaur, Lilo and Stitch, The Emperor’s New Grove, Brother Bear, Home on the Range, Bolt, Wreck-It-Ralph, Zootopia, Raya and the Last Dragon, Encanto, and Strange World. Because Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, Song of the South, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Chicken Little, The Princess and the Frog, Tangled, and Frozen are all based on fairy tales; Bambi, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, Lady and the Tramp, 101 Dalmatians, The Jungle Book, The Fox and The Hound, The Many Adventures of Winnie-The-Pooh, The Rescuers, The Black Cauldron, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Tarzan, and Meet the Robinsons are all based on books; Dumbo and The Aristocats are both based on unpublished books; Fantasia is based on various orchestral pieces (as well as incorporating elements from Greek mythology, Slavic mythology, Christian mythology, and the fairy tale The Sorcerer’s Apprentice); The Sword in the Stone is based on Arthurian mythology; Hercules and Atlantis The Lost Empire are both based on Greek mythology; Moana is based on Polynesian mythology and Hawaiian mythology; Robin Hood is based on British folklore; Mulan is based on an epic poem; Big Hero 6 is based on a comic book series; The Great Mouse Detective, Oliver and Company, The Lion King, and Treasure Planet are all revisionist adaptations of Sherlock Holmes, Oliver Twist, Hamelt, and Treasure Island respectively; all but two of the War Time era movies (those two being Song of the South and The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad) all feature Mickey Mouse characters, and thus are spin-offs of the wider Mickey Mouse franchise; Pocahontas is loosely based on true events; The Rescuers Down Under, Fantasia 2000, Winnie-The-Pooh 2011, Wreck-It-Ralph 2 Ralph Breaks the Internet, Frozen 2, and Moana 2 are all sequels; and the movie Wish is a prequel to their 1940 Pinocchio movie. Hell, even with the original films I listed, they also borrowed heavily from other work, Dinosaur is often compared to the biblical story of Moses, and both The Emperor’s New Groove and Home on the Range were both originally going to be revisionist adaptations of The Prince and the Pauper and The Pied Piper respectively. So whether you like the remakes or not, please just keep these two things in mind before you complain about them:

A. They aren’t being made by the original animation studio

And B. Most of those stories weren’t even original to begin with.

Raya's HC voice (Cree Summer as She-Hulk)

[ink-drenched-cat]

Semi-short summaries (I love rambling too much) about current and upcoming fics if anyone is interested:

Flowers beneath the rotting tree:

A complete rewrite of Miraculous from start to finish. I kinda shouldn't care that much since I'm too old for this show but it's too late. I already started.

So this is a three parter, with 👆 as the first one, Burdened crown breaks down the withered as the second and New life grows atop the fallen as the third one. I won't reveal what happens in those yet but it goes crazy.

The first one is basically a fleshing out of characters, powers and built up of mystery while I learn how to properly structure and plot a story. Hopefully it's not too boring as it does start quite slow, though I already plan to start merging episodes into one to not waste time just retelling an episode.

It's also a super slow burn (CN falls first as usual) and I hope to make the romance more believable and cuter even though I'm aro.

Reweave the threads of fate:

A pretty random project that came from the idea of: What if Harry were in hufflepuff and Draco, Hermione and Ron in the other houses?

And then it spiraled into an actual loose retelling of the books. It's mostly a past time activity when I'm stuck on other projects but I will definetly cover the first and second book. Not sure about the rest yet, we'll see.

I'd say the majority is also my take on Jkr's horrid World building and an attempt at fixing some things though I don't want to go too deep or I might never come out again.

To wish upon a golden star:

Surprise another rewrite, this time of that horrid movie Wish. It takes a lot of inspo from the original idea but I did my best to not copy everything and add my own.

So basically Asha possesses magic and loved learning about it, but after a witnessing the banishment of a mage she learned that what she was doing was wrong and the only right way to learn magic was from the royal couple.

After becoming their apprentice, she slowly begins to realize that something is wrong until her suspicions are confirmed to be true when she uncovers a horrible secret that leads to her escape into the cursed forest and the summoning of a golden star.

A shattered Heart:

Also a rewrite and part of a five part one shot series. (2. A Rivers tale 3. My Talons crossed 4. Graves as pale as bone 5. With torn out Fangs)

This time it's Raya and the last dragon in which I found the pacing, the message and dragon quite bad. So I made it my mission to stretch the story out, give the side characters something to do, traumatise Raya and save Sisu from being an absolute embarrassment.

In the first part, we witness the past and how Raya became who she is now. It will also shed light on history, the Drunn, how she lost trust in herself and the betrayal that set the story into motion.

It's also Raya x Namaari though the one has severe trust issues and the other is torn between emotions and logic/ duty, so no lovey dovey relationship but a journey of healing and a hopeful end.

The false cage:

A minor Nimona rewrite that I might or might not post. It depends on how different it will be from the movie. It isn't anything serious just some plot adjustments, more lore and a better villain. -> I have never read the... I believe it's a comic or something so yeah...

A cooked up story / A well served dish:

And another rewrite, this time of High Guardian Spice. I cannot believe that show is pay to watch. I have never seen something more boring, lame and forgettable than this. I don't even remember their names, I only call them: pink girl, blue girl, olive, purple sasuke with blood kink, blonde midget, elf with an actual backstory, red boy and whatever the rest was.

In any case, I'm still doing world building and by the title you can see that It'll be a two parter, each around twenty chapters.

The first focuses more on school and the second about travel.

Basically the balance between magic and nature is shifted after some corporation invented tech that made it possible to use magic without a cost. However, they did not do so without evil intentions and thus the heroes have to uncover the truth behind them and save nature from dying out.

Might sound simple but the end will hopefully be as creepy/ scary as I want it to be. As a hint: it's mass sacrifice.

Loki time travel fic:

Another idea that just invaded my mind. Basically what if God of stories Loki travelled back in time and how would that change anything-> still working on what actually happens so not much to say there.

Mlp fic:

The Princesses backstory, how they came to equestria, their millenias of life told from their perspective and how they take on a more active role in the actual story though I won't dive too deep into Twilight and her friends.

This isn't about them.

I just want Luna and Celestia to act like the gods they are and be just a bit unsettling.

RayaxStarwars AU

Namaari and Raya lived in the same village. They were best friends and had lived through many of the same experiences together, including the destruction of the Jedi Order at the hands of the Empire and the massacre on their planet.

After managing to escape with a small group of survivors, Namaari embraced the Dark Side and became an acolyte.

Raya, for her part, became Sisu's apprentice in an attempt to rebuild the Jedi Order, turning the young woman into an enemy of the Empire and forcing her to have several confrontations with various bounty hunters, soldiers and mainly with her rival Namaari who always managed to find her.

Namaari considers that she is the only one who can face or get rid of Raya, that's why it is usual that if she finds her snooping in a ship she catches her and takes her out of there without saying anything (as in the image).

~ I'm not happy with the result but this make me improve my art skills so i think it's ok

>>>>feel free to ask me whatever you want. I've been thinking about this AU for months and I need to talk about it<<<<

(Some) people ship starboy and asha cause they think it would "fix" asha's personality, they also ship it so they don't notice asha all that much starboy completely over shadows asha, Starboys personality is almost the same as asha's just a lot more childish Uh oh starboy Tripped and Fail?! That's so Funny and cute! Asha is Nervous about her Interview with the king who is know to be attimidating and nitpicky and rude with people who try to be his apprentice? "Ugh🙄" its just a little biased is all i notice that when a adorkable female character is partner up with a adorkable male character the adorkable female character is "annoying" and has "no personality" while the treatment the adorkable male character gets is "lol he's so cute" "lol he can't do anything right we support boy failure🤪" it just sounds a little biased.

This!!! I feel like (some) people just like the idea of Starboy without maybe caring much about Wish in the first place? You can share your own headcanons and concepts without necessarily bashing the source material, it’s something perfectly fine people have done in fandoms since forever lol.

I’m also pretty much convinced that is now trendy to hate on main (especially Disney… Marvel… etc) and so people will jump on any hate train. I swear the whole “Asha has no personality” thing originated from some early review or something and then people started copy-pasting it everywhere without even watching the movie… cause yes she’s quirky and stuff like SOME recent Disney heroines (not all!! Raya?? Elsa???) but people act like that alone makes her a bad or badly written character lol. It doesn’t.

It’s an archetype people like and easily relate to, I’ve seen people being very emotional about relating to Mirabel or Meilin. So I guess that’s also why Starboy gets a free pass for it from people (+ people are more indulgent to male characters than they are with female characters… just saying). Of course it’s a Bad Thing on Asha, because omg The YouTubers said that!! :))
