🎨 and 🛏 for BOTH Pierrot and Twinkle ?

Baby girl baby ✨✨✨

Picture OC Ask Meme

🎨- What colors does your OC like best? What color palette reminds you of them?

Pierrot swings wildly between the gaudiest, most eye-destroying patterns ever and a sober, elegant combination of black and white, while Twinkle is very into pastels, especially soft blues and pinks.

🛏 - What does your OCs room look like? Why do they choose this set up?

Leona picked furniture for Pierrot's room thinking about what a young boy would like, while trying not to go overboard so he could decorate it according to his own tastes - not only did he eventually do so, but they added an extra pull-out bed once Pinocchio's (and Marco's 😏) nights spent over started to become more common. Something along these lines:

Twinkle...lives in a small house alkdjjajhjsa her dads gave her complete freedom when it came to the style, but all of them had to get a bit creative with object placement, and thus it can get a tad chaotic, like this one:

What’s the most powerful form of magic? (x)

[lovecanbesostrange]

5 or 18 or 23 from the casual affections ask for Ruby/Dorothy? If you feel like any of them? 💗 :}

Uh, thank you, what tender choices for this couple made out of wilderness and deep caring... what to choose?!

5. squeezing the other’s shoulder 18. putting a blanket on them 23. brushing strands of hair away

Everything is new to them. One moment they learned how to push each other's buttons and suddenly they cared so much they risked it all. Now the Sleeping Curse is lifted, their True Love revealed and... what comes next? What is the happily ever after like? Well judging by the constant new threats finding the Charmings, Ruby has started to doubt that happily-ever-after even exists. (Watching Snow and Charming is her whole education on the topic.)

It takes time to get used to each other. Maybe accustomed is the nicer word. Having a new constant present in life is a lot. Dorothy made room fast, quite literally in her little hut. For Ruby it's not easy to settle down like this, still grappling with the thought of a pack somewhere out there and how maybe that really wasn't the thing she was looking for. She was ready to talk to a bunch of werewolves, asking for acceptance. But this wild woman with the crossbow and a dog - something about this situation is more frightening than the possibility of rejection by teeth and claw. A good fright though, like Snow promised.

Dorothy is used to people leaving. They come, they go, some die, some get brutally killed and sometimes your supposed family thinks you're nuts and wants to put you away for good. But now Ruby is here. In her home. Right in her space. Dorothy's everyday routines have this obstacle. Just getting out of bed is different already. And just a few days in she is already scared of losing this, losing her. But being scared hints that Ruby is meaningful, at least meaningful enough that a loss would be devastating.

Dorothy needs to make sure this is real. She needs tangible proof, a reminder to hold on to. She is the first to get up in the morning (years and years later the early rise is still hard to get out of the farm girl; what a wonderous thing to fall for a child of the moon then) and she likes to take a quick glance at Ruby's face and more so reaches out a hand to touch her. Just a little squeeze on the shoulder. Yes, she is here, she is real.

There isn't much room inside the hut and when they are both up and Dorothy needs to get around Ruby (her favorite obstacle to navigate), she will take that chance to put her hand on her shoulder again. Not to push or pull, just a touch, a squeeze, a way to make sure.

It takes a while until Ruby catches on. There is a lot of touching going on. A bit shy, a bit clumsy, some long exploring missions, some just pure hunger. But every once in a while Dorothy's hand is on her shoulder with a gentle squeeze. But it's not in moments of comfort or anything special, it's - a habit and it means something to Dorothy. So with time it means something to Ruby, too. A hand reaching out to find her, grounding her and after a while she will tilt her head just enough to show recognition.

+++

There are perks to having footwear that allows for easy realm-hopping. Adventure is endless! Sure so is danger, but they learn what risks they can take on. And the longer they are out there, the longer the list of people to call for back-up.

Ruby has an easier time warming up to new people. The cursed persona of a waitress living off of faux friendliness to please customers comes in handy in weird ways. Or maybe it’s a need for social contact, because the lone wolf existence had only led her to a witch. Dorothy knows how to play this game as well. Smiling in a crowd. A champion for the people, fighting for a good cause and putting on a brave face. Yet a wall remains.

They are in a curious city built high up in the trees. Dozens connected by large platforms. Turns out heights aren’t Ruby’s thing. She’d be happier running through the underbrush. But right now there is a celebration going on, even though the gryphon was just lost and never meant any harm. The tale of how Dorothy and Ruby helped is already spinning out of control thanks to alcohol and an overeager bard bolstering the tale with his vocabulary.

Yet over all the noise Ruby can hear some very specific footsteps getting away. She is training her senses and without even trying those will focus on Dorothy in a heartbeat. (In dire need even literally.) As stable as the platforms are to withstand strong winds, it is chilly in this area between two large tree trunks.

“Kansas?” Ruby doesn’t need to ask a question, she can say this stupid nickname twenty different ways by now. Dorothy knows this is the “is everything okay”-version. “I needed some air, is all.” There is a message in-between those syllables as well. It’s the plea to not push right now, but maybe later another nudge will be fine. That’s okay, Ruby can wait.

Except it bothers her a little bit how casual Dorothy is leaning on that railing. Night has just fallen and the drop in temprature is already noticeable. One look at the crescent moon and Ruby takes off her red cloak. She places it over Dorothy’s shoulders and pulls it close in front. Ruby is careful not to linger too long, so Dorothy doesn’t notice this counts as a hug. (Dorothy notices. She doesn’t mind though.)

“I could get a blanket...” “This will do just fine, Wolfie.” Dorothy’s hands are on the thick fabric and she enjoys the weight, the warmth, that little bit of smell that is Ruby (wood, smoke, sweat, dirt, freedom and a dash of home).

Dorothy doesn’t want to talk. But with the way Ruby gives a part of her identity so freely, she feels heard alright. With Ruby going back to the party she can have her alone time, without ever being left alone.

I'm now trying to form my own group on Instagram and hopefully a server. If you are uncomfortable with proship/shota content do NOT join bewilderedmoth's discord server. There is at least one (and I suspect more) proshipper in there that the owner defends and won't remove despite knowing the artist draws nsfw of underaged pinocchio.

DM me or comment if anyone's interested in a Pinocchio chat.

Does a Pinocchio discord server exist already or do I need to make it myself? Where ever there's a community for this I must find it.

oooh Curious Archer for 002? And Alice Jones for 003?

Thank you so much! <3

002 Curious Archer

When I started shipping them: As soon as we saw their first kiss in 7x10! I instantly became obsessed with them!

My thoughts: I love them both with all my heart and their relationship means so much to me. They’re just so perfect for each other. Their relationship does things to my heart! And I get so excited when I see them on my dash. I just freaking love them D,: and they deserve to be happy together.

What makes me happy about them: Everything! That Robin is so supportive of Alice and loves every part of her and just wants to make her days better and will do anything for her. That Robin was there for Alice when she felt desperately lonely like she had been for most of her life. The way they look at each other and they blend so perfectly together no matter how different they are.

What makes me sad about them: That we didn’t get more of them! I wish Robin had been introduced earlier in the season. Heck, I wish they were introduced much earlier. But I guess that wouldn’t have worked given that Robin and likely Alice were babies at the time of s6.

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: Fanfic could never annoy me! I just tend to avoid any fanfic where either of them are in relationships with guys cause I see them both as gay.

Things I look for in fanfic: Yeah just lots of angst. My favourite aspect of their relationship is when they were cursed, which seems to be an unusual preference in the fandom. But I’ve never been usual so it makes sense! I guess I can connect more to them in the modern world. So many great CA fics out there that I need to get back to reading.

My wishlist: I’m not sure I understand this question but if it’s for fics then I want to see all the angst! Give me pain! Alice having a mental illness means so much to me and I’d love to see it explored more in regards to their relationship. I need to know how to navigate my own in a potential relationship. I need tips, darn it!

But if this question is for general wishes then please can we have a spin off?

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: I don’t mind Alice x Drizella as a temporary relationship that inevitably ends in disaster (because I love pain) but I wouldn’t really want them to end up together. I can definitely see Alice x Princess Anna. They would make a delightful couple. Can you imagine?! I can’t think of anyone else for Robin and I can’t do that to myself because she’s just perfect for Alice.

My happily ever after for them: They’d get married and mostly live in Storybrooke after going back to their own time with the rest of the s7 characters. They’d go on adventures together and sometimes invite Wish Hook and Zelena. And they’d have 2 daughters called Maddy and Ocean and a younger son called Hugo.

003 Alice Jones

How I feel about this character: Love of my life. Precious cinnamon roll. Brings me unbelievable amounts of joy.

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character: Robin Mills, Drizella Tremaine (but, like, as a really messy ship)

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character: Knightrook forever! Such a beautiful and tragic father-daughter relationship that has made me laugh and cry more times than anyone can possibly imagine.

My unpopular opinion about this character: Hmm. Probably that she untransfigures Gothel sometime after the series finale. God knows Gothel doesn’t deserve it but I feel like it would weigh on Alice if she didn’t give her another chance. Goodness knows what Gothel would do with that chance but I just can’t see Alice feeling completely content having left her like that.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I wish we’d gotten more of her and I wish we got to see more dates with Margot before the curse broke. I’d also have loved to have seen her adventures in Wonderland and other places!

Favorite friendship for this character: Hmm. I guess Henry is the only non-romantic and unrelated friend we see her interact with in the show and I love their relationship. It’s such a chaotic!little sister/ tired but loving!big brother dynamic.

My crossover ship: Hmm. I’ve never thought about this before. But Alice x Tabatha/the Cheshire cat from Alice By Heart would be cool! They both like to speak in riddles.

[emmaswcns]

see now, is it too obvious if I send you Emma and 003 for that ask game? (also, swan queen for 002) ? :)

LIBBY YOU ARE MY FAVORITE PERSON THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS INDULGING ME AND LETTING ME MAKE POSTS ABOUT OUAT AND EMMA AND SWANQUEEN <3333 @bewilderedmoth

( and no it is never too obvious, pls continue to send me ask games about emma and her wife so i can scream about them bc somebody actually asked !! )

How I feel about this character: she is the light of my life and i would die for her and i love her so so so so much and she's amazing. but no, really, emma swan is such an interesting character and she hits all the emotions for me that i want to feel when i'm watching a show and following a character's life/journey

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character: emma x regina, emma x neal, emma x ruby, emma x lily (in very certain ways), emma x hook (......since it's canon and emma is apparently happy.......)

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character: emma & august, the charming family trio, emma & elsa, emma & mary margaret (not snow lmao), emma & henry, the swan-mills family trio, emma & neal

My unpopular opinion about this character: uhhhhhhhh... her wedding dress was AWFUL and s5 emma swan on was no longer emma swan and just some alien inhabiting her body and that's that on that :))))

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: i'm not gonna be generic and say swanqueen should've been endgame bc i don't even know if i believe that (yes sq should've been a romantic ship > cs but i don't know if i would've wanted it to be endgame.....does that make sense???) but i think emma's happy ending should've been henry and her family. i don't think they needed to make her happy ending a man (*regina voice* my happy ending isn't a man *emma voice* of course not) or romance at all. her happy ending should've been finding her family, finding her home, finding her purpose and just being HAPPY with that. the show emphasized her happy ending was hook and that's just... not on par with s1 emma's hopes and dreams for her future imo. like yes i'm happy she found her 'true love' and all that, but her true love should've always been henry and that's that.

Favorite friendship for this character: emma and august are just so cute. i think fic made me like them more but they are honestly the cutest little brotp ever. also neal and emma's friendship towards the end when he realizes he wasn't going to get to be w her romantically... zsxdcfgvh. the little cassidy-swan-mills family would've been A+++ television and i wish we got to witness some of that :(

My crossover ship: i don't rly have one but @swiftbarnes will understand when i say megan fox lmao. no i will not elaborate past that :')

\\

(also just look at their adorable lil height difference i'm dead)

When I started shipping them: i honestly do not remember?? i remember back in the day when ouat was still airing, swanqueen was a dirty word and i remember finding a ficlet or whatever very late one night and i read it and i was like ..... oops? and then i kept it very secret from my other friends who watched the show bc it was so ~wrong~ to ship regina & emma. so i'd say somewhere around s4b i think??

My thoughts: i have no thoughts. head empty when it comes to these two. i have so many feelings and thoughts that i can't even articulate them. emma and regina made so much more sense than any other romantic ship in the entire show besides snowing. like... they understand each other on such an insane level. they are the only ones who can get through to each other. regina is the only one who can handle emma and emma is the only one who can handle regina. hook cannot understand or handle emma and robin definitely cannot understand or handle regina. like it's so fucking PERFECT lmaoooo

What makes me happy about them: their growth together. like watching emma go from 'i don't care what happens to you' to 'you've worked too hard to have your happiness destroyed *sacrifices self to save regina*' and regina going from 'how do i get the saviour to taste my forbidden fruit?' (aka trying to poison and kill emma) to 'you made me a monster but i will not let you do the same to emma' ........ like how can you not fall in love w their parallels and how they share a son and how they bonded over that love for henry?!?!? it's amazing and beautiful to watch lmao

What makes me sad about them: that after a certain point, the scenes with emma and regina dwindled away to make room for captain swan and outlaw queen. i know there's a lot of 'controversy' around this, ppl saying jennifer morrison didn't want to film scenes w lana anymore bc of swanqueen fans (is there any truth to this btw?) and/or that the writers were trying (and failing) to make the sq viewers focus on anything else besides sq... it all just felt so forced and blaaaaaaah

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: i haven't read any fic where anything has bothered me lmao. i do want to find more enchanted forest fics though! like princess emma/princess regina! i can only ever find knight!emma and princess!regina, so if anyone can send some of those my way, pls do so! <33

Things I look for in fanfic: i honestly read almost anything and i don't really look for anything specifically character wise out of fics. if the plotline sounds good and the writing is good, i'm 100% into it lmao

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: i guess emma x hook & regina x robin. i know robin fucked off in the show and regina apparently found a new love in s7 which i haven't watched, but i did actually enjoy outlaw queen more than captain swan

My happily ever after for them: regardless of being together or not, i just wanted their happy ending to be henry and the little family they made. emma and regina have both been yearning to feel at home in the world, and i think it ending with the 5 of them at granny's eating a meal together and just being happy would've been the cutest ending for them. i didn't watch s7 so idk what really happens, but i am happy that regina ends up being coronated as the good queen or whatever so i'm happy for her in that respect but emma's ending sucked SO lmao

[wicked-storybrooke]

Hi! :) 3, 10 and 15 for the OUAT ask?

Hi, lovely :D! Thank you!!

3) Favorite story arc

The whole of season one! I've said it before and I'll say it again, there was something incredibly magical about it. It had a unique and charming quality that no other season or show has been able to imitate (for me). The way it was filmed, trying to figure out who certain characters were *cough* your boy August xD *cough*. I really loved watching Emma and Mary Margaret's friendship develop, especially knowing that they were mother and daughter. Such a unique and interesting dynamic! And Emma and Henry getting to know each other! Regina and Emma's intense dynamic! And Snowing! Omg that was peak Snowing! What an emotional rollercoaster they took me on! And also in the back of my mind, there was always the idea that it could indeed all be in Henry's head and I just loved watching it all unravel. And the backstories were at there best. Archie's and Ruby's, for example really enhanced their characters and relationships. I miss it and wish that another bus shelter would fall on my head (long story) so that I could forget it and re-experience it for the first time.

10) Favorite backstory

Answered here :D

15) Favorite moment between a romantic pairing

This scene, for sure:

It's my favourite scene in the whole show and it's from my favourite episode! I don't even know what it is about it that gets me. I love that it's so dark (I have a thing about dark scenes. They make me irrationally ecstatic) and they've just entered a completely unknown location to keep sheltered from the pouring rain and his number one priority is making sure she's safe and warm- especially since she was dangling off a freaking cliff mere minutes ago! (Thank God there were no dalmatians to push her off). And he tries to wrap her up like a burrito and she shrugs him off and it breaks my heart but I completely understand because he's hurt her so incredibly deeply, maybe more than he'll ever know. And then her confession. She's so broken and vulnerable in at that moment. She's so determined to get this bird to her flock so that it doesn't have to spend its life alone like (as far as she remembers) she always has. She's so desperately lonely and Emma is helping to ease that and so was David. She had this confusing but powerful connection to him and he absolutely betrayed that when he chose Kathryn. The hurt in her voice and her body language just break me and then he laughs because he has been going to Granny's at 7:15 every day just to catch a glimpse of her. And omg David, why didn't you just explain the situation to Kathryn and break up (I love Kathryn but that would have been best for everyone). And then the almost kiss with the flashing lightning and the way she has to pull herself back and says, "how can you do this?" Idk y'all it just gets me. I have watched this scene a bananas amount of times and I have cried for many of them. I just love it and, idk, it just breaks me as a human being (in the best way possible!)

[naivesilver]

Also. I thought about not sending this last one, but it's too funny to me. 69 + Pinocchio/Lampwick. because 1) funny number, 2) I know exactly what song that corresponds to and ,,,,divorce AU, I guess :)

THE END IS HERE! And what better way to end this wonderful run than with your most despicable ask 😒 I'd say thank you for enabling me with all of this but you're an absolute worm 🪱💗

Spotify wrapped game: send me a number from 1-100, optionally with a ship or character, for a moodboard based on the song it corresponds to!

69. Bad Blood - Bastille

[lizardthelizard]

Summary:

"August,” he said, eliciting a frown from Lampwick. “It’s not...My name is August.” “Oh.” Because of course he wasn’t Pinocchio anymore.

(Lampwick finds August living in a trailer in the woods. The pair haven't seen each other since Pleasure Island but Lampwick is more than willing to help his childhood friend work through some things).

[ezraspiderwick]

Drawing based on the fic Mess Is Mine by the amazing @bewilderedmoth​ because I love August and Lampwick so much <3

'time to finish this game' I didn't know you COULD finish Skyrim. I'm personally far too busy picking mountain flowers and killing cave bears to involve myself in any war.

I started Skyrim this year for the first time on a whim. Really it's @flusendieb's fault for playing it, so I caved and got the PS4 version. And initially it was like... boring? Weird? Not my jam? But then I powered through and traveled to Riften and suddenly I'm the Master of the Thieves Guild, of course I built a stealth archer (never looked at any type of builds, but since then read up on stuff and lol, I am very basic), somehow ignored Morthal's existence, entered every dwarf ruin I could find and scream about it, and then look at the quest log with my level 30+ ass "oh right, the Greybeards want to speak to me"...

I also kept forgetting I was a werewolf and that I could clean a dungeon easily. XD But yeah, every new tiny little quest is immediately more important than any story progress or whatever. Now it's been like two months or so again since I played and I have forgotten everything about controls and whatever I wanted to do next. Maybe lament some more that I have all these nice trophy cases in the house that I can't use.

I guess you don’t simply finsih Skyrim.
