Feminine Plots

Okay, I've been thinking A Lot about basic plot types and how classically feminine stories fit into neither the traditional (masculine) archetypes nor the traditional plots. After a lot of studying the major plot beats, I think all female-led stories* fall into one of seven plots. I'm using Disney movies to demonstrate this because just about everyone has seen them, but I think you could apply these to just about any feminine-based story.*

So, without further ado:

The Hard Work Plot: The heroine of this story is a hard worker and is tested by the plot to prove her kindness and generosity. If she passes the test, she wins and is rewarded for it. This is the basic plot of Snow White, Cinderella, and Tiana/Princess and the Frog.**

The Beast Taming Plot: The heroine of this story is put in a situation where she meets a monster, learns to understand it (usually through a heightened state of empathy), and then tames it to become socially acceptable for the norms of society, often ending the story by using the tamed monster to defeat a more villainous character who has been accepted by society. This is the plot of Belle/Beauty and the Beast, Moana, Jane/Tarzan, and Lilo/Lilo & Stitch.

The Transformstion Plot: The heroine meets an outsider who is threatening her home/family/people, who are stagnating or stifling. She spends time getting to know the person and their culture, and then uses her friendship to transform her own culture into one of flourishing modernity. This is the plot of Ariel/The Little Mermaid, Pocahontas, and Jasmine/Aladdin.

The Restoration Plot: The heroine is in a kingdom/household of dwindling power. Her quest is to restore the damaged relationships and undo the evil that caused the kingdom to dwindle. There's a very high chance that the heroine doesn't actually do the restoration herself, rather she makes other characters realize they have responsibilities and duties they haven't fulfilled, who then fix the problem instead of the actual female lead. This is Aurora/Sleeping Beauty, Elsa/Frozen, Mirabel/Encanto, and Nala/The Lion King.

The Balancing Plot: The heroine is proven to be unfit for feminine life and goes on a journey to prove she is capable of fitting in with the guys, only to realize that what she needs to restore peace and joy to her home/kingdom is the very feminity that she rejected. This is Mulan and Merida/Brave.

The Maturing Plot: The heroine is a naive individual who is exposed to the big bad world. Her idealism transforms the big bad world to be softer, but she also realizes there are bad things out there and that are/will take advantage of her if she lets it. In the end, she usually has to fight the bad guy/embrace her duties and responsibilities to save her home. This is Alice/in Wonderland, Wendy/Peter Pan, Giselle/Enchanted, and Rapunzel/Tangled.

The Sacrifice Plot: The heroine has a group that she is some sort of caretaker for (a princess, a lover, a support class). She does something, usually accidentally, that causes her friends to end up in danger, and she has to sacrifice herself to make up for those wrongs and save her people, usually ending up coming back to life because the other leads are so inspired and love her so much they make sure to save her. This is Tinkerbell/Peter Pan, Meg/Hercules, Esmeralda/Hunchback of Notre Dame, Kida/Atlantis, Anna/Frozen.***

EDIT: After workshopping this, I've decided I was missing one which seems almost exclusive to mothers and wives:

The Witnessing: The heroine must prepare another to become a Sacrifice/go to war/fight without her interference, and she has to let go and let them take on the trials of the world. Her plot arc succeeds when the people she's equipped successfully encounter the world without her guidance. This is Mrs. Potts/Beauty, Grandma Tala and Sina (the mom)/Moana, and Grandma Fa/Mulan. It's rare, so there's not a lot of these are protagonists, but it is a legitimate feminine archetype.

Star explanations under the cut.

*I'm being very specific here and talking about stories that are associated with the feminine, not stories that are traditionally associated with males who have then taken on female leads. And, while you can look at these as entire plots, these are also applicable as character arcs. The Lion King, told from Simba's perspective is the classic Call to Adventure. However, from Nala's perspective, she is the Restorer who, after watching her kingdom fall to ruin, has to go find the proper authority, mend his relationship with his father, and then return him to the kingdom to fulfill his responsibilities. While some more modern stories have female leads that don't fit these categories, I would argue they're not trying to appeal to women, but to a general audience and just happen to have a female protagonist, who could easily be swapped out for a male protagonist without changing anything of the story (and that, imo, makes for a very bad story indeed).

**There is a secondary dimension in these stories, which is the staticness or dynamicness of the characters. The classical Hero's Journey features a dynamic protagonist, who is expected to change throughout the run of a story. However, in most female-led media, the lead character is already virtuous and good. She is a static character that is then tested to see if she will fold under pressure. Snow White and Princess and the Frog both feature Hard Work narratives; however, Snow White is a static character who has to prove through a series of trials that she's good hearted and the world won't turn her cynical, while Tiana is a dynamic character who has to grow from cynicism to accept love as a virtue. While it is more traditional of older stories like Grimms' Fairy Tales, the Arthurian mythos, or Classic-era novels, static protagonists have almost entirely died out in favor of the Hero's Journey dynamicness. However, it remains a staple in Feminine Stories, even in modern stories: Moana, Anna/Tangled, Lilo/Lilo & Stitch.

***The Sacrifice Plot is a little odd, because there's usually another plot on top of it; Anna has a (slight) Maturing Plot, Meg has a Balancing Plot, Kida has a Restoration Plot. However, in the end, it's not a philosophical shift that defines their character, but their willingness to sacrifice for those they love. Yes, Anna was duped by Hans and has to accept he's not the good guy. However, she still falls in love with a man she just met (just a different one) and her narrative is instead trying to fix the problem she made when she upset her sister and her climax is when she essentially dies for Elsa, who then saves her with their sisterly love.

Sis since you play ikemen villian well

A fun ask

Which Disney princesses will each ikemen villian character would fall in love or like

This question might seem interesting at first but it is actually quite challenging. 😅

I had to research a lot and eventually managed to find appropriate answers I guess? So, I'm sorry for the delay. I can't say if they'll appeal to you or anyone else because I'm not completely sure of them myself. I'll just say that whatever I'm about to express from this point on, is solely my viewpoint which of course, might vary from others'. So please guys, feel free to share below what y'all feel about it and how differently would you have chosen for the Villains.

Long post ahead....

William-Merida (Brave): Like William, Merida is strong-willed and resolute in shaping her own future. Her rebellious spirit and willingness to defy tradition align well with his philosophy of personal freedom and self-mastery. Merida’s bold nature might just match his charismatic, yet dangerous allure.

Harrison-Belle (Beauty and the Beast): Yes, books. 😆 Harrison’s love for mystery novels aligns well with Belle’s well-known passion for books and storytelling. Also, Belle’s curiosity and her ability to look beyond surface appearances would likely challenge Harrison to reveal his true self, encouraging him to move past his habitual teasing and playful deceptions. While Harrison is known for his lighthearted lies and enigmatic behavior, Belle’s steadfast integrity and empathetic nature could serve as a grounding influence for a great dynamic. And lastly because, he is the most sane of the lot? Lol.

Liam-Rapunzel (Rapunzel): Both Liam and Rapunzel have a bright, charismatic energy that naturally draws people to them. Liam’s curiosity mirrors Rapunzel’s wide-eyed wonder about the world. Also as a stage actor, Liam would likely enjoy Rapunzel’s creative and artistic side. And maybe because both are lonely? I feel like their dynamic would be lighthearted and affectionate, yet deeply comforting for both of them.

Elbert-Aurora (Sleeping Beauty): Aurora’s graceful and delicate presence mirrors Elbert’s own porcelain-doll allure and his obsession with beauty. Their mutual sense of nobility and loss could create profound empathy and understanding. Aurora’s soft and compassionate nature might offer the warmth and healing necessary to work through the darkness in Elbert's heart. Overall, Aurora's combination of beauty, sadness, and regal charm makes her a considerate match for Elbert's complicated character.

Alfons-Jasmine (Aladdin): Jasmine comes from a world of luxury, and is well-acquainted with the allure of opulence. Strong and independent, Jasmine isn’t afraid to challenge the status quo. This independence could both enhance and temper Alfons’s tendency to play with illusions and manipulate perceptions. While Alfons revels in trickery and crafting deceptive facades, Jasmine’s curiosity and keen insight may draw her to the enigma behind his charm, encouraging him to unveil his true self over time. Her grounded perspective could act as a counterbalance to Alfons’ transient, illusion-laden world.

Roger-Tiana (The Princess and the Frog): Tiana’s strong work ethic and determination to achieve her dreams align closely with Roger’s ambition and his tireless pursuit of research. Her dedication could motivate him to direct his ambition in a more positive direction. While Roger’s egotistic nature drives him to go to any lengths for his research, Tiana’s practical, straightforward attitude and sense of ethics might help moderate his extremes, fostering a balance between ambition and empathy.

Jude-Mulan (Mulan): Mulan's journey is rooted in honor, duty, and steadfast loyalty, which may resonate with Jude's strict principle of always keeping his word, even if his methods are more ruthless. Mulan has confronted the harsh realities of war and societal pressures, giving her a practical advantage. While Jude is characterized by cold calculation and sadistic nature, Mulan’s disciplined yet compassionate nature could act as a counterbalance. Both characters share an unyielding determination—Jude in pursuing his ambitions and Mulan in challenging expectations. (I'm sorry though Mulan, I'm not giving away my husband.)

Ellis-Snow White (Snow White): Snow White’s natural kindness and her talent for recognizing the good in others could serve to temper Ellis’s darker, more obsessive tendencies. Her warmth might inspire him to welcome and cherish the true, joyful moments in life. Although Ellis seems considerate and kind, the unsettling aspects of his character could be balanced by Snow White’s pure and forgiving spirit. Her ability to nurture hope and healing could assist him in reconciling the light and dark sides of himself.

And then comes the rest of the villains- Victor, Darius, Nica and RIng. This was already very hard in itself, but choosing princesses for these four would be harder because I'm yet to completely understand their personalities due to their routes not being out. Especially that of Victor and Darius. They both have a lot of things going on that won't be revealed to us until their routes are released.

Lastly, I would say that the essence of Disney princesses and the vibe of our villains simply don't align. While it might not apply to everyone, and again I might be wrong here, but like I said, this is merely my perspective. They are princesses meant to have happy endings and our villains might just be overly dark for them.

But in case if we wanna be curious and pair them regardless, here were the matches that I believe could be 'appropriate'.

Also, if any of you have anything in mind, do share. I would really appreciate that.

BSD MEN x DISNEY PRINCESSES

I'm not sure how many people were aware of it, but there was a trend on TikTok (I believe it was last year) where someone paired JJK characters with Disney princesses.

It got me thinking about pairing Disney princesses with BSD characters because…why not?

This is nothing serious, so please enjoy! ❤️

Fyodor Dostoevsky

Possible pairings: Aurora, Cinderella (live action), Belle.

Aurora (Sleeping Beauty 1959): She is introverted, dreamy, elegant, and beautiful. She embodies traditional femininity and dreams of true love. There's a serene and peaceful spirit within her that Fyodor would greatly appreciate.

Cinderella (live action, 2015): She is very polite, values kindness above all else, and sees the good in everyone. Her ability to forgive almost makes her appear ethereal and otherworldly. She is graceful, beautiful, intellectually stimulating, and well-educated.

Belle (Beauty and the Beast 1991): She is the most beautiful girl in her town, yet possesses an intellectual and romantic mind. Though fairly introverted, she can be outgoing in certain circumstances. Fyodor would find much common ground with her, bonding over their love for reading and discussing various topics.

Dazai Osamu

Possible pairings: Cinderella (live action), Belle, Elsa.

Cinderella (live action, 2015): She is compassionate, valuing kindness and generosity above all else. She would understand Dazai's struggles and help him become the best version of himself.

Belle (Beauty and the Beast 1991): Belle is intellectually stimulating for Dazai as well. She is able to fall for a beast because he shows that he can improve and has a good heart deep inside, which eventually comes to the surface. Once Dazai trusts her with his fragile heart, their bond would be unbreakable.

Elsa (Frozen 2013): She is calm, collected, and deeply values her close relationships. Dazai would help her become less stressed and anxious, while she could handle his daily antics. However, this relationship could be challenging because both of them are guarded around strangers.

Nakahara Chuuya

Possible pairings: Jasmin, Tiana, Mulan, Cinderella.

Jasmin (Aladdin 1992): Jasmine is sassy, knows what she wants, and is very intelligent. She is confident and elegant, embodying femininity in a strong and assertive way. Chuuya would admire her.

Tiana (The Princess and the Frog 2009): Tiana is hardworking and confident. Her struggles and the effort she puts into achieving her singular dream make her very human. She is inspirational and loving.

Mulan (Mulan 1998): Mulan makes sacrifices for her family. She is rational and not easily frightened, even when faced with significant challenges. Her struggles are relatable, and her character arc is both majestic and realistic. Chuuya would be very proud to call such a woman his.

Cinderella (Cinderella 1950): Cinderella is also hardworking, but in a more laid-back and dreamy way. She dreams of true love, happiness, and peace. She is more of a traditional woman, but by no means lacks character.

Nikolai Gogol

Possible pairings: Rapunzel, Ariel, Anna, Merida.

Rapunzel (Tangled 2010): Rapunzel is very bubbly and curious. She has many ideas and makes connections in a dreamy yet extroverted manner. She is hungry for knowledge about the world she doesn't know and longs to explore. Such a person with deep underlying passions would intrigue Nikolai.

Ariel (The little Mermaid 1989): Ariel is also eager to explore a world she's unfamiliar with. She yearns for personal freedom and the ability to make her own choices in life. She can be considered impulsive, feeling and living deeply, rashly, and quickly. She would be able to keep up with Nikolai's temperament. She is loving and entertaining.

Anna (Frozen 2013): Anna longs for connection with the outside world and wants to socialize as much as possible. Her perspective on life is almost childishly cute. She is entertaining and lovable, and Nikolai would appreciate her enthusiasm.

Merida (Brave 2013): Merida is brave, daring, and doesn't let anything deter her from following her own path. She knows she can surpass any expectations placed on her, and she courageously pursues her own way. This is a quality Nikolai would adore.

Shameless and Princesses

I don't know about you all, but when I'm feeling down I turn to Disney movies. This week definitely calls for some comfort so I made a list of the official Disney Princesses (plus Anna and Elsa) and assigned a Shameless Character to each one.

Snow White - Carl.  Like the OG princess, Carl is a friend to the animals, he had a hard time with the vet job he had. Also Carl has some natural gentlemanly qualities to him much like Snow White’s instinct for household chores. He looks out for his siblings and takes care of them in his own way. Also Snow White, White Boy Carl? There’s something there right?

Cinderella - Fiona. Frank is her ugly alcoholic father. She works hard to take care of her siblings taking on the burden of managing the household and at the end she leaves her abusive home. Cinderella is often characterized through her kindness and even though Fiona is far from perfect, she has a big heart. She sacrificed so much for her family and definitely should have had a fairy godmother to help her out.

Aurora -  Liam. Aurora has the least amount of lines out of any princess and Liam wasn’t doing much for the first part of the show. Also like our Sleeping Beauty, Liam has his own good fairies. His older siblings protect him and take care of him. 

Ariel - Debbie.I think it’s easy to put the redhead as Ariel but I actually think they have a lot in common. Ariel longs to see the human world and fights with her dad about it much like Debbie coming at odds with Fiona about growing up too fast and becoming a mom. I can just see Debbie in her room sing/yelling “Bet'cha on land they understand /Bet they don't reprimand their daughters!” Even as an adult that line is very cathartic.

Belle - Mickey. Belle is seen as an outcast because she loves to read (what a nerd) and Mickey is judged because of who his family is. My favorite part of the movie is when Belle returns home to her father because to everyone else he’s crazy old Maurice but she loves him and has to protect him. Mickey has run to protect Ian more than once.

Jasmine - Svetlana. Jasmine is not a prize to be won and neither is Svetlana. Jasmine is trapped behind walls forced to marry a suitor (not to say arrange marriage and prostitution are the same). Svetlana is also longing for freedom and I believe Yevgeny is her own magic carpet that lets her see a whole new world. 

Pocahontas - Jimmysteve. He swan dives right into Fiona’s life. They are from different worlds and find love even if just for a brief moment. In the movie Pocahontas iconically throws herself in front of John Smith before her father tries to kill him, but honestly that was a stupid move, she could have died. And Jimmysteve has made many stupid decisions that leave him almost dead.  

Mulan - Ian. Both joined the Army under false identities. Mulan also doesn’t let anyone define her and proves that she is not one to be underestimated. To me this is season 6 Ian. He works hard to be seen more as just his bipolar and though he doesn’t save all of China as an EMT he gets to be a hero to many in Chicago.

Tiana - Kevin. OK, so he’s no way near as smart as Tiana but they both come from disadvantaged backgrounds and end up owning their own businesses. Kevin is not good with the numbers or the spelling but he is a great bartender just like Tiana is a great cook. Plus you know Tiana’s restaurant will have some wacky regulars just like The Alibi Room.

Rapunzel - Mandy. They are both trapped in a home by an abusive parent. Terry and Mother Gothel manipulate their children and use the idea of love for their own gain. They both are also fine with violence, Rapunzel with her frying pan and Mandy with her car. Though I wish the circumstances were different, Mandy does get to leave her tower and start to live her life on her own terms.

Merida - Veronica. Both are not afraid to speak their mind. Merida enters the archery competition against her potential suitors and that baller move is something I can see Veronica do. At the heart of it, Brave is about a mother daughter relationship and I love the dynamic between V and her mom. 

Moana - Ethel. Girl went beyond that line and crossed that line right out of the southside. 

Raya - Franny. I saw Raya and the Last Dragon but I honestly don’t remember it (I think I remember her having a hot dad?). I’m going to put Franny here because I’m sure Franny thinks dragons are cool.

Anna - Karen. Anna totally has abandonment issues and Karen is a perfect case study of it. Because of that they both have an unhealthy view of love and relationships, Anna is infatuated by the first boy she meets and Karen’s love life is extremely messy. I can also see Mandy whispering “Oh Karen, if only there was someone who loves you” before she hits her with her car.

Elsa - Lip. So for the comparison this is actually Frozen 2 Elsa. She wasn’t shown to be a bad queen or anything, her heart just wasn’t in it. Lip is often criticized for not living up to his potential but he just wasn't built for academic life and couldn’t handle the pressure. Like Elsa he steps away and does something else.

Disney princesses and their sexualities, my headcanons.

ft. snow white, cinderella, aurora, ariel, belle, jasmine, pocahontas, mulan, tiana, rapunzel, merida, elsa, anna, kida, esmeralda

! please keep in mind that these are my headcanons and my opinion, you don't have to agree with it but don't be rude, thank you!

a/n: my headcanons does not follow the plot (if they have a partner/love interest or not, yk)

༺☆༻

Look, all of these princesses have at least some interest in women. I'm gonna try to write a reason 'why' do I think that

Snow White; Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs

Bisexual. I mean she found her Prince Florian and they say that they lived happily ever after but I mean look at Florian...He's 34 and not very... handsome (sorry not sorry) so I think that she'll eventually want to explore more and more. She's also a very kind and loving soul who will probably fall in love with one or the other gender.

Cinderella; Cinderella

Bisexual but prefers men. So Ella grew up mostly with her two step-sisters and step-mother and they were abusing her. So I guess she has some kind of a need to rebel against their rules? and I guess they can be pretty homophobic so that's why Ella has the need to try out something with a woman, otherwise she looking mostly for men.

Aurora; Sleeping Beauty

Lesbian. Okay hear me out. I think that Aurora is a lesbian because she grew up with three women in middle of nowhere so I don't really think she could think of a man... She was raised by women and she lived with them most of her life so she seeks women. She cannot imagine a household without a woman and she definitely cannot imagine herself without a woman.

Ariel; The Little Mermaid

Pansexual. Ariel is interested in humans and your gender doesn't matter to her. She wants to explore and she's very curious so I think she will spend her time studying women and men separately. For sure she wouldn't care who her partner will be if female, male, non-binary... she doesn't care, she just wants to be loved.

Belle; Beauty And The Beast

Bisexual prefers women. Gaston is always flirting with her or showing off his muscles in front of her and he's just annoying her, so I think that's why Belle prefers women, because she's so tired of Gaston's (men) attention. She wants to be free and share her opinions on different books with someone intelligent and not dumb as Gaston. So that's why she's looking for women most of the time.

Jasmine; Aladdin

Bisexual. I really don't want to put 'bisexual' to everyone but.... Well Jasmine is pretty sassy and free-spirited. She need a bit of adventure in her life so she will see for someone who can protect her (man) and someone who can comfort her, understand her problems and someone to talk to all day long (woman). So I guess it only depends on who will stole her heart first.

Pocahontas; Pocahontas

Lesbian. She never seemed interested in Kocoum BUT she was very interested in her female friend, Nakoma. She's pretty curious, brave and free-spirited... she has a loving and caring soul which needs the same 'kind of soul' back. She need someone kind and gentle who is matching her energy... and she just really love boobs.

Mulan; Mulan

Lesbian. Mulan is more masculine then feminine. In the first movie she was really uncomfortable with all that make-up and the dress and was more comfortable in armor or shorts. So she seeks for someone who is almost the exact opposite of her; someone feminine.

Tiana; The Princess and the Frog

Bisexual. Tiana is confident and a hard-worker so she needs someone active. She has really close relationship with Charlotte and at the start of the movie, Tiana is disgusted by the thought of marriage and dating a man. But that was when she was a little kid, after she grew up she started to find men attractive but she still was interested in women, that's why she's bisexual.

Rapunzel; Tangled

Pansexual. Rapunzel spend 18 years locked up in a tower so after she get out she was REALLY curious about everything and everyone. She lived only with her 'mother' so she's interested in women but Eugene saved her so she began to be interested in men. After all she just wants to be loved and she wants to love, doesn't matter who, it will be the one who she will fall in love with.

Merida; Brave

Lesbian. I don't think I have to explain this one, Merida doesn't like men in the movies, she acc annoyed and disgusted by them. So it's no secret that she loves women.

Elsa; Frozen

Lesbian. Again I don't think I have to really explain this one either. It was confirmed that Elsa will have a female interest in Frozen 4. She is also independent and strong woman and I feel like she's getting more masculine which she shows in Frozen 2.

Anna; Frozen

Pansexual but prefers men. Does that make sense? I mean Anna is really kind and loving person. She will help anybody in need and comfort them in bad moments. But she always dreamed that she will marry her 'prince charming' and live happily ever after so that's why she seeks men, but if she wouldn't mind if she fell in love with a woman.

Kida; Atlantis: The Lost Empire

Lesbian. I don't know why but I just feel that she is a lesbian. She's independent and strong, she doesn't need a man. She also dominant and I kinda feel that she's also a bit masculine... that's why she want a woman. She also want woman because she admired her mother as a child so it brings her some kind of comfort.

Esmeralda; The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Bisexual. I mean she's pretty sassy and again independent, a bit masculine which she shows when she's with a woman, but there are many racist people around so she needs to be careful, that's why she also like men, because they can protect her and make her feel safe.

i hope you like it guys and i hope you don't mind that i posted this, because it's something a bit different than what i usually write? it's something short before christmas so i have 'cartoon movie' mood, if that make sense... so if you want something with disney/pixar let me know! also don't worry guys, i'm working on your requests.

-love sivyera

[musemelodies]

here, have a disney princess list (INSPIRED BY ROSE):

mulan (forever fave since childhood, gnc icon who saved china and ended up with the hot bi general, what's NOT to love? a legend in every sense of the word.)

jasmine (beautiful, badass, tells it like it is, always there for her loved ones, takes zero shit and i love her for it.)

ariel (loved her as a kid, had mixed feelings about her as a teen because of bad disney princess discourse, really love and appreciate her now.)

belle ("I WANT MUCH MORE THAN THIS PROVINCIAL LIFE..." me too, babe. what can i say about belle that hasn't been said already? as a fellow bookworm and monsterlover, i salute her.)

snow white (the sweetest angel who's actually hilarious and gets waaay too much hate.)

tiana/cinderella tie (I COULDN'T CHOOSE BETWEEN THEM HONESTLY, they're both really brave, amazing, and inspiring and also i kinda ship it...)

moana (she rocks and she saved the day with the power of love and her "i want" song is one of my favorites.)

rapunzel (she's adorable and funny but i didn't really fall in love with tangled like a lot of folks did...)

aurora (stunning design, incredible voice, doesn't have a lot of screentime but leaves a big impact nevertheless and her relationship with the good fairies is really heartwarming.)

pocahontas (it's complicated, folks. on her own, she's a great character with an amazing voice and some epic musical numbers but knowing the actual history of matoaka is...yeahhh, they really should've given her a different name as well as the other characters. the story's already completely fictionalized anyway.)

merida (she's neat and she has a really cool design and i love her relationship with her mom but it's another case where i like the character but i'm not too wild about the movie.)

raya (i only saw her movie once and found it pretty mediocre but she had a lot of potential, i liked her relationship with her dad, and she had good chemistry with namaari but unfortunately, disney was too cowardly to do anything with that so...)

Hestia - lived near sea and had a mermaid phase. Watched H2O and Aquamarine almost every day. Marmaid Tale duology stan. Favorite Disney Princess is obviously Ariel and favorite pony is Pinkie Pie. Had a small Sylvanian Families collection. Was also a big Sailor Moon fan. Adores studio ghiblie movies, especially Ponyo. Actually owned the 13th year on DVD, that's how big her obsession with mermaid was

[mammons-lover]

The obey me brother's favorite Disney princess:

Lucifer: "Ariel," He relates how she rebelled against her father to get what she desired. or Merida; they are both exceedingly brave, audacious, fearless, obstinate, rebellious, and headstrong. She also had a disagreement with her mother.

Mammon: Tiana, they both have difficulties with bad witches, and he also connects to how hardworking she is (he physically works as a model when he doesn't have to, but he knows he likes to spend money).

Leviathan: Elsa, they both fiercely blame themselves for everything and attempt to avoid their troubles. Also, when they become very emotional, their power reacts, as seen in (small spoiler) Chapter 32, when Elsa inadvertently struck Anna in the chest with her ice.

Satan: Belle, they both enjoy learning and reading. I believe he connected to her more on a personality level than via the story.

Asmo: Rapunzel, He thinks she's gorgeous and admires her hair. They are both kind, make friends wherever they go, and enjoy having fun.

Beelzebub: His is difficult because obey me simply gives him eating and being nice as a personality trait. However, I believe Mulan comes closest to him because she took her father's place in the fight to defend him. This connects with Beel because I feel he would do the same for his brothers; also, he really became a devil for assisting his brother.

Belphegor: He's challenging because, of course, Aurora is the ideal option since she's the sleeping beauty, but I believe he'd also relate to Mulan or Merida. I believe he ties Mulan's resolve to how she persevered while pretending to be a guy until her true identity was revealed. Merida's determination to prove herself superior to the men who wanted to marry her, as well as her desire for freedom. I believe Belphie's motivation stemmed from his hatred for humans and his wrath that Diavolo wanted all worlds to unify and that if it happened, his sister would have died for nothing, as well as how he carried out his plan to manipulate and murder Mc in order to terminate the program.

(I still love him tho)

[thisnameisnotspokenfor]

If Asha and Ceph were to meet other Disney/DreamWorks/Pixar characters,who would they get along with the least to the best?

Would Asha adore Hiccup's inventions?

I got this idea from thinking how toothless would react to ceph's true form.

On a side note

Which would Asha prefer,the assassins or her monthly.

And who would win Ceph's insanity or Baymax's care

Also who would win in a fashion debate between Edna Mode and Ceph?

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve seen a dreamworld movie so I’ll do Disney

((WARNING THIS IS LONG))

In terms of other Disney characters especially heroines I think Asha would get along not so well with Merida and maybe Aurora. Merida is sort of a frenemy. Merida breaks rules and societal expectations while Asha adheres too them a bit too much. Merida turned to magic to solve her problems- Asha hates that. So they’d probably be a little uncool with each other at times which ngl would be sorta funny because I imagine that Asha is unfortunately the only person in the joke who flat out understands Merida says. But I think they’d probably tolerate each other for the most part.

As for Aurora well I think Asha would understand her being upset at her life being suddenly uprooted but I mean considering Asha is a peasant if you ever wanna annoy her just be a princess who cries over having to be royal. She’ll politely tune you out in a heartbeat.

I think she’d be neutral on Anna. Not in a bad way. They’re on two completely different ends of the spectrum in everything.

I feel like she’d be torn over Elsa. Really torn.

Not sure how she’d get along with Raya tbh.

I think she’d respect Cinderella a lot- especially when Asha gains some more retrospective skills. (I’ll go into more detail about this in the future)

She’d get along super well with Mirabel, Kida, Snow White, Mulan, Rapunzel and Tiana. Works for her dreams like Tiana (with skepticism in the magic part), she’s uncovering her people’s past for the betterment of their society like Kida, relates to the chores/hardwork and admires Snow White’s good spirit and Mirabel? Goodness these two would be therapy buddies. They’ve both been the black sheep of their respective groups by not being born with magical abilities to serve the purpose of the authoritative figure who uses magic to rebuild a society and is paranoid of the past repeating itself.

I feel like she’d also get along well with Moana too! They both love sailing, and pushing boundaries. She thinks Moana is super clever as well

((I feel like her and rapunzel have a lot in common too- the authoritative figure in their life belittling them, and wanting to chase their dreams so they’d probably be close as well))

Asha would love Hiccups inventions! (I admit I’ve never seen how to train your dragon)

Uhh Toothless don’t look at that…you don’t want to see that….

And to answer your questions:

Asha is taking her monthly over the assassins.

Ceph is not openly insane to people he doesn’t know. So if anything if he met Baymax he’d act like a normal person at first (he’d be very curious about just what Baymax is)

That last one is a tough one. I mean Edna was spitting some facts but let’s be honest- If any of those things- getting sucked into a tornado, a plane engine, a rocket/bomb, etc happened to Ceph. He’d walk it off.

So they’d be at an impasse because I can’t see either side relenting and this is probably the only thing that even magnifico would side with Cepheus on.

Star clothes is different from earth clothes in SO MANY ways (supernatural properties, they’re very resilient, they change to match the sky etc). So the best outcome is for Ceph to just give her some star clothes and she lets him keep his cape.

Hopefully.

I might do a separate post on how Ceph would interact with other characters.

[princesssarisa]

Which of the Dinsey princesses do you think would be close friends with each other?

Well, I love Amy Mebberson's Pocket Princesses comic, where all the Princesses are roommates, and I think the way she pairs them off into particularly close friend groups ring true.

Ariel, Jasmine, Rapunzel, and Moana would all get along well because of their shared love of freedom and exploration, and the fact that before they could be free, they all had to deal with an overprotective parent (or rather, three well-meaning overprotective fathers and one truly nasty, selfish foster mother). Ariel and Moana also have their "sea" theme in common.

Mulan, Merida, and Raya would get along well as the tomboyish athletes and warriors of the group, although it makes sense to think there might be some (mostly) friendly rivalry between them.

Cinderella and Tiana would bond over their mutual rags-to-riches stories, their shared domestic skills, and their similar blend of down-to-earth, hardworking humility with feminine grace and dignity.

Belle would be especially good friends with Snow White and Cinderella, though she would relate more to Cinderella as a peer and be more like an older sister figure to Snow White. At any rate, I can see them bonding over tea, dance practice, and fairy tale books.

Aurora and Pocahontas would get along well because they both love nature and animals, and they strike a similar balance between dignity and playfulness.

I also think the three Walt-era Princesses – Snow White, Cinderella, and Aurora – would be especially close to each other in some ways. While each one is distinct, they have many things in common that set them apart from all the other Princesses. If we imagine that all three of them remember Walt and what the studio was like in his lifetime, then they could bond over those memories too.

Disney 100 ✨🏰🤍

Wishing you all a happy new year and to Disney, a belated 100th anniversary! 🎉

To celebrate Disney’s century milestone, I created an illustration based on 100 of Disney’s most known and loved characters from their respective movies/ series. I’ve included all the ones I’ve known and feel are generally popular but I’m sorry if your personal favourites aren’t here.

This has been in the works for almost four months now but due to many delays I couldn’t finish it on time. So here it finally is!

Out of all these range characters, the hardest to draw was the Cars. I’m not used to drawing cars so I’m not generally good at them (yet). Some of these may look simple and easy to draw but trust me, they’re not 😂.

With drawing the characters and the background, I like to be accurate with the respective style it’s drawn/ animated in and the colours too. But also I wanted to also simplify the 3D ones and add a little depth using shadow to the 2D ones. For example some of these films would have a desaturated grainy effect to it and I wanted to keep that. But finally after months of working on it, it’s completed and I’m happy with it! ✨.

Please, please do check it out on Instagram too:

[usernamesuggestionsarefunny]

Wish spoilers ahead.

The start of Wish is exactly like that of Encanto but without all the heart. It is literally the meme of "Can I copy your homework?" "Yeah but change a few things so it is not too obvious."

Also Asha deserved a pretty dress in the end like wth are you going to sell to little girls Disney you are all about money and you failed miserably even at that.

And it is for real soooo unfair how the queen did get a pretty dress the whole movie and Asha only got some lazy ass sparkles added to her boring ass dress.

Asha... not bad, ok, but she is copy paste Anna, Mirabel, and Rapunzel. Youtuber ModernGurlz is right about Disney's "adorkable" problem. All their main girls since Rapunzel have the same "quirky" personality save a few details. I have liked them all but it is getting boring. Give me a princess with a monotone, sad personality, give me a shy princess who only smiles and talks around close friends, give me back the classic super girly personality Aurora and Snow White style, give me an angry girl with a brutal sense of humor like Merida. Be creative, please!!!

I love the queen's design, super gorgeous. Too bad her character added nothing. Her help was barely needed since Asha's friend had already sneaked them into the castle and it was her who deciphered the king's magic. A super villain couple would have been way more fun.

Oh, yeah, Asha's friends. There were so-damn-many of them and only like 3 were rememberable or needed for the story. (Edit: I didn't realize they were supposed to be the seven dwarves, sorry, still, didn't like them much.)

The villain is a complicated issue. I appreciated Disney's attempt at another fully evil character, I liked how he wasn't yet another badly set up "twist villain" revealed only at the end. But I didn't like the end result that much.

His backstory was super underdeveloped and to "get" his motives better, if they really wanted to make him evil-yet-complex, they should have shown us a flashback of him losing his family Encanto style (They copy pasted the start might as well do the same with the antagonist backstory.

What the hell was the missing piece of tapestry for if it wasn't going to have any significance later on? Did the writers just forget or what even?

Worst part for me: The stakes were low as fuck. Disney doesn't respect its target audience, nowadays it thinks that children can't handle anything worse than a main character getting disappointed. The worst this "super evil" villain does is make people sad temporarily, for like two minutes (Kid you not), like one character stays sad for longer but MOST people in the kingdom seem happy and normal after giving up their wishes, he legit just makes people sad a few minutes (Again, I kid you not, no one dies, the wishes he "eats" to make himself stronger come back, nothing he does has a permanent, devastating effect, he is not even revealed to have killed Asha's father in a dramatic way or something). Yeah he makes people forget their wishes which is pretty sketchy but up to that point he seemed to have complex reasons for that, reasons that seem to disappear or have never even been there the second half of the movie when he magically becomes more evil due to a forbidden green spooky magic he uses, and then suddenly he becomes Maleficent (The cool, perfect villain version, not the woobie one) style evil in a very, very rushed and over the top way. I feel like he should have started up as fully evil with no backstory (Just a simple, Gaston or original Maleficent style, self centered guy, who wants more and more power and adoration), and simply gotten worse and stronger OR given more complexity as to why he became that way, but instead we got this weird thing in between where it is clear he just wants power and love from the people for the sake of it and yet he has this half-made sob story on how his family died.

There was a great lack of originality in this movie at the climax as well. Anyone watched "The little mermaid II"? That was pretty much it. Villain gets power boner, says he will enslave everyone (Worst thing he does in whole movie and yet no one trying to defy him dies at least off screen or gets hurt in any meaningful way). Then heroine saves the day.

The funniest part of this movie is that the villain's fate is worse than anything he ever did in the movie I swear. He gets trapped in a freaking mirror and then locked up in a cell (Similar to the Little mermaid II villain's end too lol). That is straight up torture till death, it is so fucked up. And his wife who literally sees how the green spooky magic is the main thing responsible for his bad day (If we are being honest that is all it was, other than the taking wishes part he seemed to be a good king) leaves him to rot and becomes queen Catherine II style, it is hilarious. Like girl, you turned against your husband like five minutes ago because apparently through decades of seemingly loving marriage, you never knew he was evil but now somehow you are ok with him rotting in solitary confinement till the end of time? So dorky and silly. So bad, so bad.

Lastly, that goat was annoying as hell.

[badwolfpaci]

i think the disney princesses all live in one big castle and im obsessed with this idea (im excluding pocahontas for what i hope are obvious reasons)

i like to think they’re regressors and caregivers i just need to think of who’s what

snow white: flip

aurora: regressor

cinderella: caregiver

ariel: regressor

belle: flip with a caregiver lean

jasmine: regressor

mulan: caregiver

tiana: age regressor and pet regressor (frog because im funny)

rapunzel: flip with a regressor lean

merida: regressor

elsa: regressor

anna: caregiver

moana: caregiver

snow white is a babysitter who kinda helps out when needed, and her caregiver is cinderella

aurora’s caregiver is cinderella too, and when snow white is in cg mode she loves to help cinderella out

ariel’s caregiver is belle, and when belle regresses mulan is her caregiver

jasmine doesn’t want a caregiver, shes a strong independent kiddo

tiana’s caregivers are rapunzel and mulan, and anna is rapunzel’s caregiver

moana is merida’s caregiver

anna is also elsa’s caregiver

is this anything

[scarlicbread27]

giving disney princesses godly parents 'cause i'm bored

RAPUNZEL: I feel like Apollo is probably the most obvious option. She has a talent for singing and is incredibly creative: she sews her own outfits, makes candles and paints every blank space on her walls with colourful depictions of the things she sees and dreams of. Not even mentioning the healing powers. With the ungodly amount of time she had trapped in that tower, I'm gonna guess (using all the scenes of her completing her MANY hobbies) that she has a lot of knowledge of the most random shit. Also, the whole single drop of sunlight thing. I suppose you could also argue Asclepius as her parent, since she did manage to bring Eugene back to life but I'm gonna stick with Apollo.

MERIDA: So, not a godly parent but I'm counting it.. She'd be a Hunter of Artemis. The events of the entire movie are ripples caused by the rock that is Merida's refusal to get married (she's so aromantic, I love her). She'd much preferred to spend her time out in nature, shooting her arrows and doing everything that isn't expected of her as a princess. Again, I think it's pretty easy to place her.

MULAN: Okay, so my first thought was Ares. She's courageous and a brilliant fighter; an inexperienced woman surrounded by assumably-more-experienced men, yet she manages to be better than basically all of them. She's a victor of war. Maybe Mars, since I believe he's basically the more controlled and less brutal version of Ares? (atleast in HOO, anyway). You could also say Athena, she's strategic and seems to easily come up with strong plans mid action (the disguise herself as a man, the avalanche, the men disguise themself as women, the fan, the diy zipline. There's probably more that I've forgot). Maybe there's other obvious options but I'm lazy and sticking with my first thoughts but I'd be happy to hear other ideas.

MOANA: So, Poseidon was the first thought, for obvious reasons. She's got the whole connection with water and a longing to sail the seas that's linked towards her heritage, culture and it's history. Maybe, she's like Frank, a descendant of Poseidon with a family that's always seemed to be connected to the sea god (minus the shapeshifting powers, obviously). You could also link her to Palaemon, who I don't know much about so feel free to correct me, the protector of sailors (I believe he is a sea deity, or atleast thats what I read??). Choosing a greek deity for Moana is low-key hard cause she already has dieties (is that a word??) within her story so I'm gonna leave it at that because why not.

AURORA: So, most people's minds probably jumped to Hypnos immediately 'cause she's.. well.. sleeping beauty. Or maybe even Aphrodite 'cause, again, sleeping beauty. I can't argue against that because those are very valid ideas, though I'm more for daughter of Aphrodite than Hypnos because the whole sleep thing wasn't something she willingly wanted and was actually just tricked into doing. My mind kind of went to Pan- if thats possible- because I distinctly remember a scene with her in the woods, connecting with woodland creatures/wild (I don't know anything about this movie, help).

SNOW WHITE: Okay so I'm gonna say Aphrodite and leave it at that because I remember NOTHING about this movie other than her step-mother or someone wanted her dead for the absolutely treacherous act of being prettier.

ANNA, my beloved: Definitely not the most obvious option, but I want to go with Aphrodite again. She has an obsession with romance, she's desperate to be loved and feel love. She wants the butterflies, the pounding heart, the hand holding and the warm expanding feeling in her chest when she sees her lover. She literally tries to marry a man she just met. I also love this idea because it goes against almost every stereotype of a child of Aphrodite; she's a fighter, fierce and easily capable of defending herself; she isn't weak or helpless. She's one of the few princesses who gets the man whilst still being presented as a total badass. Furthermore, she loves so strongly in non-romantic ways too. She constantly stands at that door, trying to reconnect with a sister who suddenly refuses to talk to her. She SACRIFICES herself for that same sister.

ELSA: Boreas, he's the god of winter and ice. She has ice powers. I can't be bothered trying to think of a less obvious option but feel free to tell me about one that comes to your mind.

ARIEL: Triton. It's literally canon.

BELLE: Minerva is probably a very obvious option, if she can have kids the same way Athena did (can't remember). Belle values books and knowledge, the wisdom that comes with reading. She feels like the type of girl who would love to go to school and Minerva is supposedly the goddess of that. I'd like to be a bit less obvious and probably a lot more wrong (oh well) so I'm gonna also say one of the Muses is a possible option. Wikipedia tells me they were considered goddesses of literature, science and the arts. If I had to pick one I'd pick Erato probably, the muse of love poetry since, if my memory serves me correctly, Belle was reading a romance??

CINDERELLA: Maybe the child of Hestia? That is, if Hestia decided one day to throw away her oath of virginity or found a way to have kids without that. I'm not sure entirely why, it's just a vibe. Maybe favoured by Hera, since a marriage literally saved her from a life of abuse? I don't remember much of this movie, whoops.

I have absolutely no idea for anyone else and I give up so take what you have been given! Thanks to anyone who actually stuck with me and read through all this.

[magicshopaholic]

Hey Cath, I just have begun reading your work with OCs x BTS and I love it, though I am much intrigued by Chaeyoung and Jhope so I am going through their masterlist first (hopefully this doesn't offend you!) but I want to know more about the OCs. Which Disney 'princess' would they identify with or like the most? Doesn't have to the official Disney princess, can be former or unofficial one!

So apparently this ask has been in my inbox for over a month but I never got a notification for it 😭 I’m so sorry for the delay, anon, but I love this question so much and I took a couple of extra days to think about this because it’s so interesting.

(Also, don’t worry about the masterlist thing. The reading order is there as a recommendation but you do you and I just hope you enjoy it 🥹)

Idolverse OCs as Disney (or Disney-adjacent) Princesses:

Kaya Madaan: My first pick is Tiana, because of their ambition, their perseverance and the fact that they still have room in their lives for love. Kaya and Tiana share a lot of similarities on that front, but I also think there's a little of Jane Porter in Kaya as well. They are both intellectuals and find love in a very unexpected place and even though it's a bit unconventional (a long-distance relationship in Kaya's case and cultural barriers), both work hard to bridge the gap and maintain their relationships. Her favourite princess would be Jasmine or Mulan.

Choi Nari: Nari is a tough one but if I have to choose, I would say she shares a lot with Merida. We see her mother constantly asking her about her relationships and setting her up with young men but Nari has been focused very much instead on her education and her residency, to the point where she has almost lost all sense of a personal life. She pushes away Seokjin and realises what she's done, but it's too late, forcing her to reflect on her own actions. I think they're both tough (Nari has to be, as a surgeon) but there's a lot of fear and vulnerability in them as well. Her favourite princess would be Rapunzel.

Kang Miso: I think the first impressions would probably be Cinderella or Rapunzel because of her family, but from a personality standpoint, I think she shares a lot with Elsa. While they are all isolated and the first two also face emotional abuse like Miso, Elsa shares her lack of self-confidence and tends to push away the people who try to help her (cue Yoongi feeling vindicated af). A large part of Miso's story is self-acceptance as much as escape, and a journey to finding a place in the world outside of her family's influence. Her favourite princess would be Merida or Jasmine.

Kang Chaeyoung: My sweet, wise Chaeyoung is a hundred percent Rapunzel (with a little bit of wise Belle), with her desire to explore the world, gain independence and constantly try new things. She moves to Seoul at a young age, makes friends at yoga class, gives her childhood nemesis a second chance and even though she has her baggage (her mother's death, her father comparing her to her brother, Hoseok's initial dismissal of her), she refuses to let that overshadow her own sense of self. Her favourite princess would be Ariel.

Kim Sooah: Sooah is also a hard one to place but if I had to choose a Disney princess, I would say she stands somewhere between Aurora and Anna. Anna initially is a fun-loving young girl who has a seemingly perfect life but sort of has to step out of that to bring Elsa back. Sooah doesn't have anyone to save exactly, but she prefers to stay in her comfortable world of friends and parties and flings until she has to step out of her comfort zone to confront her past with Jimin. Aurora is a little less similar, but I remember her as being an isolated girl who really longed for human connection. Sooah is far from being isolated but secretly does wish for a fairytale kind of true love and often reminisces about a time when she almost had it. Her favourite princess would be Cinderella.

Dilara Komyshan: For Dilara, the OG OC, my pick would be Ariel. It's no secret that Dilara is a romantic, much like Ariel, and displays a willingness to do pretty much anything for something she loves, be it her sport or a person. She gives up her teenage years and a lot of her life to be a world class athlete, trains and works through the year to be able to achieve her dream. Along with that, she goes to huge lengths to be with Taehyung, to fly across the world and meet him when she can and most importantly, overcomes her doubts to give him a second chance. Her favourite princess would be Belle (but she would tell people it's Mulan).

Cheon Lia: Despite very very few similarities in story, Lia reminds me of Pocahontas, largely in terms of her maturity and desire to avoid conflict for the bigger picture. Like Kaya, she also has similar traits to Tiana in terms of her ambition and hard work, as well as a little Jasmine with her assertiveness and need for independence. Her favourite princess would be Pocahontas.

[ifthesewings--couldfly]

My Disney Princess Ranking because I can (note: positions may randomly switch)

1. Merida: A recently appointed favorite of mine. I still think she acts immaturely at times, but that’s the point after all, isn’t it? Her true braveness resides in admitting the way she treated her mother was wrong, rather than in the way she faces danger, and I absolutely love that. I also always loved archery and red hair, so…

2. Moana: I was always deeply fascinanted by Polynesian culture, so Moana and her story resonated with me like few others have done. Her combination of bravery and compassion is unsurpassed (and her design is absolutely gorgeous). I hope Moana 2 stays true to her character.

3. Asha: A victim of the ‘adorkable’ curse that plagues the modern Disney Princesses. There is just so much more to her (and to Wish in general) than marketing wants us to believe, her charisma and leading skills for example. I also love her design.

4. Ariel: She was my childhood favorite and the one I identified with, but my love for her has been progressively fading over the years, and now I think of her with a bittersweet feeling. The truth is that I’m tired of people claiming she left her world for a man, but at the same time, this general perception of her has tainted my own. On a side note, I never liked her distinctive color scheme (teal and purple).

5. Anna: Had she stayed the same sweet, naive character she was in Frozen, Anna would be in second place for me; but Frozen 2 made her clingy and insecure, which caused me to like her less. I also don’t like how she became queen, something I feel is absolutely out of character for her.

6. Cinderella: My favorite among the ‘classic’ Princesses, and the protagonist of the tape I watched the most as a kid along with The Little Mermaid.

7. Rapunzel: I came to respect Rapunzel after thinking of her as a the dumbest Disney Princess for a long time - it took me forever to realize that her ingenuity was due to the lack of human interaction in the first eighteen years of her life. But then, Tangled The Series had to make a fool of her again.

8. Mulan: Like Cinderella, a beloved childhood memory. I love how insecure she used to be before her transformative journey.

9. Pocahontas: I love her playful personality, independent nature and communion with nature. I also love her hair.

10. Snow White: I hate how overlooked she is, both as a character and as the one that started it all. I love the actress who will portray her in live action form, I think she incarnates her spirit perfectly.

11. Raya: Gets overlooked, much like her movie, but she is pretty cool.

12. Tiana: I’m pretty much indifferent to her, but I do like the message she is meant to convey. I put her in this position because there are princesses I like more.

13. Jasmine: See above, minus the message. Being strong, fierce and independent is her entire personality, which I don’t like.

14. Aurora: She has no personality IMO, but at least she is pretty.

15. Belle: For someone who doesn’t judge people based on their looks, she is way too judgmental for my tastes. Just look at how she treated the poor villagers just because they weren’t as cultured as her. It wasn’t their fault they were born in a narrow minded community.

16. Elsa: I used to love Frozen 1 Elsa, but as more Frozen installments came out, my love for her diminished progressively, until it was destroyed completely by Frozen 2 and the way she shamelessly abandoned Anna. Worst character development ever.
