Forget about some hidden gems within Disney's direct-to-DVD sequels, "ONE DANCE" shouldn't hit as hard as it did for a song in a promotional CD for little girls. It's so good that it was thought to be a deleted song lmaoo. "I Remember" from Ariel's Beginning may not be on Spotify, but at least this one is haha. I'm telling 'ya that when I found out a bunch of Disney Princess songs in Spotify (them as a group like the Tea/Party and Christmas theme or individually like "Tiana and her Princess Friends" or Ariel's and Sebastian's), they're just really plain and obvious for kids with fun melodies because they were directly singing to them (love that most of the OG singing voices are there tho!). I did vibe with "I'm Happy" by Cinderella and "Mulan's trip" but "One Dance," although from a different album just hits different even from the ballads from "Tiana and her Princess Friends". Other ballads from said album just also has the Princesses talk directly to the kids, and even Ariel's other songs from the album "One Dance" was from speaks directly to the listeners as well (tho Jodi's voice makes it magical anyway lol), but not One Dance. It's like Ariel's inner thoughts from the movie, and it reminds me of "If Only" from the musical; no wonder many mistook it as a deleted song.

Anyway, I just had to share despite knowing all these songs and albums for more than one year already lol. I was streaming Disney love songs, and this played in my playlist; of course I had to make a commentary lmaoo. Also, one edit just made me ship Eric and Ariel more than I did in the movie itself lol.

JUST WATCHED THE LITTLE MERMAID LETS FUCKING GO!!

ok quick opinions before i go to bed <3 (spoilers ahead? if you don't know the plot of the little mermaid?? who are you?)

the tails. oh fuck me the tails. OH GOD THEYRE BEAUTIFULLL. also the mermaids themselves are just incredibly stunning. the fact that they're all different races is sweet as well. i think they did such a good thing with the cast. i assume over half the cast was black?? and also there were asians etc etc

URSULA. MMMM. THAT WAS GOOD. the cgi for her costume and everything?? the tenticles??? OH LORD HAVE MERCY IT WAS MAGICAL.

eric.... eh. sorry. i was in love with him as a little child, and this dude was just not my type. </3 however i think it's subjective - like def other people will find him attractive!!

THE SEA. OH LORD. just all of it. the sea imagery. the fireworks. the waves. everything.

i thought the cgi of the animals was sorta strange?? but honestly they made it work i can't lie

OK BUT. THE BOAT SCENE. THE BOAT SCENE. THE LIGHTS. THE MAGIC. IT WAS SO SO BEAUTIFUL. enchanting, seriously.

i really really appreciated ariel being black, even though i'm not black. however i am a WOC so it still spoke to me. just seeing a black girl get to be feminine and girly and cutesie and dressed in those adorable pastel colours. fuck, it killed me. it made me want to cry. i can't imagine how amazing it will feel for black women to see that.

i am going to be honest here -- i was sad we didn't get the dress. i mean the dress. it's iconic?? just like cinderella's blue one, or belle's yellow one??? WHY DIDNT WE GET THE PROPER DRESS???

everything was perfect though. 100% recommend, please go watch it!!

Part of Your World: A Disney Twisted Tale - Liz Braswell

Fun fact: i did not watch any of the Disney classic movies until the last few years and have instantly fallen in love with them. Being so, Disney’s Twisted Tales novels have become a fast favorite for me and Part of Your World was right up there on that list.

This WHAT IF story shows what would happen if Ursula had won at the end of the little mermaid. In the opening chapters, we find Princess Eric and the entire kingdom under a spell with Princess “Vanessa” gathering the army and we find Ariel, voiceless still, sitting on the throne in her father’s place. After hearing from Scuttle, Ariel suspects that her father, who is presumed dead, might actually be alive, she embarks on a journey to rescue him and along the way her one true love!

Truthfully, I really enjoyed this story, as I have enjoyed the previous Twisted Tales novels that I have read in the past, but it was a little bit harder to get into for me. I think I picked the book up about 4 times and put it back on my shelf before finally sticking with it. The beginning of the book felt slow to me and I had a difficult time reading chapters from the perspective of the seagulls. BUT, I am glad that I stuck it out. The scheming, the plot twists, and the vast array of character development (especially from that of the side characters) was fascinating and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Ariel Lawhon's Codename Hélène is a Historical Fiction Masterpiece

You might have seen this book featured in my home page gallery and for good reason. I’m sure it’s not difficult to understand that those six images, those six chosen books represent a culmination of my reading genres, favourites and favoured writing styles. Codename Helene by Ariel Lawhon is precious in its own right as it is the story of an iconic Kiwi during WWII, Nancy Wake, aka the White…

OH MY GOD THEY WANT EACH OTHER SO BAD!!!! STEPHANIE GIVE ME LALA AND CASTOR'S BOOK NOW!!! Oh boy I'll be reading so many fanfics after this!

[arielgobuss]

31st chapter has been posted! Here's a little preview:

31. Will you catch me if I fall?

And this is how it feels When I ignore the words you spoke to me And this is where I lose myself When I keep running away from you*

"What a bastard! I knew that he would make you pay, but it's just too much!" Ron said fervently, after Harry had told him and Hermione, that Snape had punished him by making him drink some disgusting potion that made his throat sore. And because of that, he now had trouble speaking.

"Harry, I think you should..." Hermione began.

"I know, go to a teacher and tell them everything," he interrupted her wearily. The girl blushed. "No, Hermione, I won't give him the satisfaction. He won't break me. I'll handle him myself, I'm not a loser." He had to admit that his lies were getting better and better.

"Harry is right," Ron interjected, supporting his friend. "Snape is just a big jerk. If we start running around and complaining, he'll feel like he has won. And I'd rather choke on a pudding, than allow him to think that!"

"You're both insane!" the girl snorted and jumped up from her place. "I'm going to study," she said proudly, and walked away.

Ron looked at Harry and shook his head.

"But it's Friday. Does she need to study even on Fridays?"

The boy shrugged, looking around the Common Room. For some time, he was trying to spot Ginny, but to his annoyance, she wasn't there. Dinner was about to start, and he needed her help to have an alibi for when he'd be sitting at Snape's place.

Severus wanted Harry to come to him today. Until now they'd only been seeing each other during detentions, but this time, Severus himself had invited him to his chambers. This thought made the boy feel a strange warmth in his stomach.

There she was!

Harry jumped up off the couch, seeing Ginny walk down the stairs. Despite the surprised look he got from Ron, he went up to her and nervously asked for a moment in private. Several of her companions looked at each other with unambiguous smiles and moved ahead.

"What is it, Harry?" the girl asked, as they stopped at a secluded spot nearby.

Harry felt Ron's suspicious gaze on his neck, but he had no choice.

"I'd like to ask you a favor," he whispered.

"What happened to your voice?" She asked, surprised.

"Uh...It's a long story," Harry replied, waving a hand dismissively. He quickly explained his plan to her, and she gladly agreed to help him.

During the whole evening, Ron was watching him suspiciously, but fortunately, didn't ask any questions. At least for now.

At dinner, Harry swallowed almost nothing. His throat was burning horribly and he had the impression, that it had been cut by swords. When his friends reached the common room, he immediately went to the dormitory. He dived in the trunk and pulled out the same black pants which he had worn to Snape's birthday, and the warm, snowy-white sweater he had bought in Hogsmeade during a recent visit. After all, Snape finally invited him. He couldn't go as a ragamuffin.

Harry quickly dressed himself, put his Invisibility Cloak into the pocket and ran down to Ginny, who was waiting for him.

"Harry, you look..." she began.

"...so different," Hermione finished, appearing beside her. "I've never seen you this..."

"...stunning," ended the red-haired girl, smiling with delight.

"Uh..." he mumbled, blushing.

"You are going somewhere together?" Ron suddenly emerged from behind their backs, narrowing his eyes suspiciously.

"And why do you care?" Ginny spat as she grabbed Harry's hand and pulled him forward. The redheaded boy opened his mouth to speak, but Hermione grabbed his arm and pulled him the other way.

When Harry and Ginny found themselves in the hall again, they smiled at each other with relief.

"Well, it worked. Now you can meet with your mysterious chosen one," she winked at him. Harry grinned.

"Thank you. We'll meet here again before ten o'clock.."

"Thank you. You helped me escape, too. Ron won't be as agitated if he thinks that I'm with you. Well, see you," she waved and disappeared in the corridor leading to the west tower, which belonged to Ravenclaw.

Harry looked around carefully, then threw the cloak on himself and slipped into the dungeons. Quickly, he crossed the office and before he knocked on the door of Snape's private chambers, he took off his cloak and straightened his hair. However, this only caused the strands to stick out even more.

When he entered the room, Severus was sitting in his chair, staring into the fire. He wasn't working on anything, neither was he reading. Just... waiting.

"For me," the boy realized, and he felt a warm current inside.

“We all want to luxuriate in a vacation. But there is always the looming question: which book should I read while I’m gone? A vacation book recommendation can be all yours if you just take this quiz and design your perfect vacation.

With this vacation book recommendation quiz, I’ve attempted to gather a wide selection of potential vacation reads. Sometimes I want to spend a lot of time with a tome of a fantasy book. In other vacation settings, I want to read some romance genre variants to fill my soul with kindness. Perhaps I want a science fiction or fantasy novella to read in my limited spare time. There are even moments when I want to read a few essays about books to appreciate genre fiction all over again.

I tried to do a bit of all that in a singular quiz, so your mileage may vary. If nothing else, I hope you leave with a vacation book recommendation that fills some time on your next trip — with a nice place to stay, something fun to do, and a great book to read while we’re at it. Sit back, relax, design a vacation, and get a vacation book recommendation.“

Kinda a two part question? Do you have supernatural Stiles recs? (really craving mermaid stuff but all kinds is very loved) and have you thought of writing supernatural Stiles?

and anon asked:

Do you by chance have any creature Stiles or mermaid recommendations? Thank you so much for helping us find stories to read and for writing such wonderful stories!

First of all, thank you! Secondly, to the first anon: I do have a supernatural!Stiles fic, it's called Predators and it's one of my best fics 🖤 I do plan on writing oracle!Stiles, but otherwise, no. Maybe, in the future, I am open to the idea!

So, here are the recs (including merman!Stiles 🧜🏽‍♂️)

Predators (creature!Stiles)

He was born for this. Nature itself whispered into his ear where he should put his hands, how to twirl his tongue just right and when to bite. Stiles knew well enough that his saliva was currently working its magic on this unfortunate man, making him hungry, lustful, and insatiable. Soon, all his thoughts would be consumed by Stiles.

And, just this once, Stiles would allow Derek to consume him.

Sui Tollech Gwanna Tach Omen by jackgyeoms (mer!Stiles)

Mermaid AU. Stiles was five when he first realised that not everybody grew a tail when they entered water.

No Oceans Left by zoemathemata (mer!Stiles)

Stiles has always been a merman. He just never knew how to tell anyone. He hasn’t shifted since his mom died.

It’s A-Boat Time! by Fae_vorite, isthatbloodonhisshirt (mer!Stiles)

He could hear the others talking outside, Scott and Isaac freaking out over something and Stiles snapping at them to shut up and help him get inside.

“Dude, how the fuck can you expect me to stay calm right now! Seriously, that’s a fucking tail!”

“We can talk about it later, just get me inside before someone fucking sees me! I don’t want to end up in a fucking aquarium!”

“Christ, you’re heavy!” Isaac grunted. “How much does this thing weigh?!”

“Shut up and walk,” Stiles snapped.

The Shells at the bottom of the Sea (mer!Stiles)

The one where Stiles is a seal merman trying to fit in with the sharks.

Mermaider by nothing_left_sacred (mer!Stiles)

“So what you’re saying is; you’re a mermaid princess.” Erica concluded.

“Yes, clearly. That is what I am saying. Thank you for putting it so concisely.” Stiles sassed, frowning at her. He wasn’t fucking Ariel; this was so far from being a Disney movie it wasn't even funny.

Or the one where a perfectly normal Beach Vacation escalates way too quickly, because this is Stiles' life.

Somewhere to Start by Lissadiane (fae!Stiles)

Stiles has always known that he isn't quite human - the plant life that tends to sprout around him whenever he gets upset or excited gives it away. He's never really fit in among the regular people in Beacon Hills and is determined to wait it out, go to college, and find somewhere to belong. He's forced to abandon those plans, however, after he desperately agrees to enter into an arranged marriage to save his father's life.

An arranged marriage with an angry, sometimes furry dude with trust issues. It's all very Beauty and the Beast, without the singing candlesticks.

The Last Chills of Winter by LeeHan (fae!Stiles)

“He didn’t magically charm me,” Derek shot back in his defense.

“Oh, so he just regular charmed you?” Laura said with a smirk.

“What? No,” Derek growled.

“Was he hot?”

“No! He just—“ He just had a laugh like a sun shower.

Fuck.

Faith, Trust, And Pixie Dust by Val_Brown (fae!Stiles)

Since he was a baby he had kept it a secret. Something that he shared with his mom. But when something comes after him and attacks his pack, he has to share his secret with them. He knows they won't judge him, hello, they sprout claws, fangs and some wicked sideburns. But he changes to the size of a gerbil and has wings and pretty much farts pixies dust on everything.

Using his new alliance with Peter, Stiles charges in, pixie dust flying to rescue his pack when they are captured by renegade hunters with a strange vendetta.

Bite the Moonlight & Bleed Gold by raisesomehale (creature!Stiles)

He waits until he and Allison are the only two left in the room. “This is a joke.”

Allison says, “Have you ever known my grandpa to have a sense of humor?”

“Really?” Derek’s eyebrows are halfway up his forehead, as he gestures to the word that has been printed under Creature Type on the paper. “‘A Merman’? They’re a myth. No one has ever seen one, let alone caught one.”

Allison leans forward to skim through a few pages and draws out a photo that she sets back down on the paragraph he’d been reading. In it, a marble white ribcage crests the dark, prussian blue of a midnight ocean, the only part of the body visible besides a thrashing, predominantly red tail, curved jaggedly through the waves.

“This image was lifted from Deucalion’s personal channels,” Allison tells him. “His people are keeping the discovery all hush hush, which means they managed the photo, but probably haven’t captured the thing itself yet.” She gives Derek a significant look, “Gerard wants us to get our hands on it first.”

a dying breed that still believes by paxlux (wingfic)

He thinks, Mom, we can do this, we’ll fly.

Hot Pocket Ratio by ShippersList (incubus!Stiles)

At the threat of the alpha pack, all Derek wants is to keep his pack safe and alive. As the last resort, he tries summoning a demon to help with fighting the alpha pack. He gets a bit more than he bargained for.

Or, the story where the classic demon deal of "Will you pledge your firstborn to me?" takes some unexpected turns.

There’s A Beast In My Heart (He’ll Only Bow To You) by RayShippouUchiha (creature!Stiles)

“Stiles.” Derek fucking whimpers and if Stiles wasn’t already dying he’d kill himself for making Derek sound so hurt. Stiles just wants to protect him so much sometimes because no one else ever seems to realize that Derek is so goddamn fragile and Stiles hates them all a little bit for not being able to see that. Or In an effort to expel the Nogitsune Stiles is given the bite but it all goes horribly wrong.

A Most Unusual Hoard by churkey (dragon!Stiles)

Stiles turns into a dragon and no one can figure out what he's hoarding…

My Childhood Spat Back Out The Monster That You See by rightsidethru (demon!Stiles)

Appearances can be deceiving.

Caught by hunters, Derek immediately dismisses his gangly, fellow prisoner as a pressing concern.

After all, the amber-eyed teenager couldn't be more than one hundred and forty-seven pounds soaking wet. What type of threat could he possibly be?

(The answer: a large one.)

9/10ths of the Law by tsukinofaerii (demon!Stiles)

Stiles discovers the hazards of growing up a real boy when, at heart, he's not a real boy at all.

You Were Never Meant to Know by Mooneye (demon!Stiles)

“Not a fan of exorcisms, Stiles?” the figure asked as though he were enquiring about the rain.

“Not really. I could spew black bile if you’d like more authenticity,” Stiles answered.

“Stiles, what’s going on?” Scott demanded, unease growing.

Stiles is a demon, always has been, and never intended for anyone to know. Unfortunately, his secret is forcefully revealed and he has nowhere to hide.

Blodrød by Onlymystory (demon!Stiles)

A demon possessing Alpha werewolves leads a crazed pack to Beacon Hills. He's been stuck inside werewolf minds, when all he wants is a nice human meatsuit. Humans in packs are rare these days and the demon is practically salivating at the thought of possessing Stiles. It's strong, and the pack was taken off guard, unable to protect Stiles before the demon takes control.

But like the demon says…humans in packs are rare.

Blackbird by skoosiepants (shapeshifter!Stiles)

Stiles groans and drops his face into his hands. “I’m seventeen, I can kind of use mountain ash and I can explode houses when I’m mad enough. How am I gonna win any kind of magic fight?”

“We’ll work on it,” Deaton says, as infuriatingly calm as ever. “The important thing to remember, Stiles, is that when everything else is chaos, you’re the port in the storm.”

Or-

Laura Hale never died, and Stiles is magic.
