summary:

kind, sweet and the definition of innocent, obsessed with pink, bows and all animals but especially deers. y/n has barely held a boys hand let alone been kissed until rafe cameron lays eyes on her

a/n:

hey hi i’m back home! finally! man i hope yall understand what i mean when i say it’s so attractive when guys do tht thing when they drive one handed with their palm and do the spinny thing yano 😙😙 oh wow i am looking back at this and THIS IS SO LONG IM SORRY i genuinely have explosive verbal diarrhoea its incurable 😟😔 so pls grab a snack or something anyway hope u guys enjoy!

rafe lead you out to his car, his hand hovering over the small of your back. he opened your door for you and closed it before jogging around to his seat, handing you his phone. “you’re in charge of the music.” he looked at you and winked before starting the car.

“hmmm but i don’t know what to play, what do you feel like?” you asked, thumbs nervously hovering over the keyboard.

“play me your music, that’s what i wanna hear, just click on one of your playlists doll” and so you obliged, pressing shuffle on your favourite playlist. as lana del rey started playing, he looked over to you, “cute”. the music was far from what rafe would usually listen to but it was so incredibly you. he couldn’t help but to steal glances at you as he drove, watching the way the glow of the sunset was hitting your face in the most picturesque way. you hummed along to the words of say yes to heaven, your eyes locking with rafe’s as you sung “i’ve got my eyes on you’ causing you both to smile at each other. “you’ve got such a pretty voice on you.”

“thank you” you say as he pulled into the restaurant parking lot, immediately blushing as his arm goes around the back of your seat as he reversed back into the parking spot. “very impressive” you said giggling as he winks at you.

“i aim to please.” he gets out of the car, quickly jogging to open the door for you. he leads you to the restaurant, his hand finding the small of your back. “reservation for rafe cameron” he says to the host who smiles back at the two of you, quickly nodding before leading you to your table.

“it’s beautiful rafe” you say looking out at the sunset gleaming down on the docks. you can’t help but to smile at him, this was your first ever date and everything felt perfect. it truly felt like you were in one of your favourite romcoms that you’ve watched over and over.

“i’m glad you like it, i think so too” he smiled back at you, he was completely blown away at how beautiful you were. every single moment spent with you had him falling faster than he ever had before.

“ooh oh oh i know what i want��� you exclaimed closing the menu seconds after opening it. you smile at him, swinging your feet under the table like a giddy little girl.

“how do you know already, i just watched you open it.” rafe laughed at you.

“i saw ravioli and needed to look no further.” you said in a matter of fact way. you can’t hide the grin on your face.

“ravioli huh? y’know the steak here is undeniably the best thing on the menu” he smirks at you before closing his menu and placing it down.

“oh really? maybe i’ll try it then” you said looking up at him through your lashes.

the waiter soon came over to take your orders, “i’ll have ribeye, medium rare thanks.” rafe said handing the waiter his menu before looking over at you expectantly.

“could i please have the ravioli” you say handing the waiter your menu before looking over at rafe who was feigning betrayal.

“and here i was thinking you were going to get the steak. absolute betrayal.”

you couldn’t help but to giggle at his antics, “i’m truly sorry, the craving for ravioli was just to deep.” you smiled over at him, “besides why would i need to get the steak when i can just steal some of yours.”

“i cannot believe what i’m hearing, who would’ve thought little miss y/n could be so evil.” you playfully rolled your eyes at him before your eyes locked with each other and suddenly it was like you were the only people in the room, scratch that the only people in the world. “god you’re so beautiful.” you immediately looked away trying to hide the fact your cheeks were flushed red. “seriously it’s like each time i look into you eyes, everything else disappears and i’m swept away by this beautiful gorgeous angel in front of me.” you looked back at him, a smile creeping upon your face. “just a shame you’ve got such poor menu choices.”

“oh shut up” you stuck your tongue out at him. the waiter came over with your meals. “wow look at this ravioli, i made the right decision.”

“doesn’t even come close to this mouthwatering steak mmm, c’mon i know you’re regretting your choice right about now.”

you popped a piece of ravioli into your mouth, “mm mm nm so good” you muffled out.

“finish what’s in your mouth before you finish speaking, god hasn’t anyone ever taught you table manners” he teases before you both started laughing. he cut a bite of the steak off and offered it to you. your lips wrapped around the steak as you ate it off his fork. you couldn’t lie that was some beautifully cooked steak.

“okay that was pretty good, but my ravioli is still definitely the better option.” you returned the favour offering rafe a piece of your ravioli.

“i mean it’s good.” rafe smiled back at you unable to respond, still thinking about how gorgeous you looked, even the way you ate his steak was driving him crazy.

you both finished up your food continuing to steal glances at each other. as you got up to leave, rafe’s arm found the small of your back and his head dipped down to your ear, “you ready to admit my steak was better.”

you looked up into his eyes smiling, you whispered a small “never” before the two of you walked towards the door.

“yo rafe bro”, you were quickly interrupted as topper dapped up rafe bringing him in for a hug. “damn bro what’s up, man what’re you doing here?”

rafe placed his arm around your shoulder, “we just grabbed some dinner.” topper looked over to you, his eyes nearly popped out his head.

“oh shit man nice.” he turned his attention to you, “y/n right?” you nodded giving him a small smile. “i’m topper, you can call me top though if you want” he smiled back at you. “god i’m starving man i can’t wait to get the ravioli, it’s crazy good here.”

rafe rolled his eyes as you giggled, causing topper to raise his eyebrow. “not you too man, the ribeye is a hundred times better.”

“nah bro, the ravioli is the move” you nod with topper in agreement, “see she gets it. yo that’s crazy bumping into you bro, i’m actually meeting ruthie here in a sec, we could’ve gone on a double date man.”

“damn what a shame, we sure did miss out” rafe says sarcastically causing you to giggle and topper to roll his eyes.

at that moment ruthie walked over placing her hand on toppers shoulder, “what’s the holdup i’m starving”, she looked over at rafe and then you. “oh wow y/n, did not expect to see you here with rafe of all people.”

“what do you mean by that ruthie?” rafe is quick to fire back at her, not wanting to deal with her rubbish.

“just not used to her being around you y’know-“

“well you can get used to it.” his arm moved to grip around your waist, you felt his thumb drawing small circles against your skin.

“how cute, oh i have an idea, why doesn’t y/n come to the bonfire tomorrow rafe, that is if you haven’t invited her yet.” ruthie’s eyes narrowed at you clearly trying to get under your skin.

“yeah man that sounds great, i’m sure y/n would prefer to hang around me and the guys over you anyway” topper said trying to lighten the mood.

rafe looked down at you, sensing you were uncomfortable, “alright bro well we’re gonna go i’ll see you later.” you smiled at topper before rafe lead you outside the restaurant to his car. he made sure you got into the passenger seat of the car before he got into his seat, looking over to you, “are you alright?”

“i just don’t understand why she has to be such a-“

“bitch?” he looks over to you and smiled. he reached over to hold your hand his thumb tracing small patterns on the back of your hand. “ruthie’s just like that, a bit of a miserable person. i really don’t know what top see’s in her.” he looked over to you a smiled, “and look you don’t have to come to the bonfire if you don’t want to, it’ll be loud and people can get a bit messy, we can do something else.”

“no it’s fine, i want to go to the bonfire” you looked over to him, “i’ve never actually been to one before.”

“i’ll make sure it’s worth it then” he said as he pulled into your driveway. he got out the car before coming around to open your door, holding his hand out for you to take. he walked you to your door before tucking a strand of hair behind your ear, “i hope you enjoyed tonight because i know i did.”

“i loved it rafe, truly.” you can’t help but to smile at the handsome boy stood in front of you.

“i’m glad” he said smiling back at you.

you reached up onto your tippy toes, planting your hands on his shoulders to support yourself as you placed a delicate kiss onto rafe’s cheek “goodnight rafe.”

“goodnight princess.”

okay i’m gonna try this

disney movies ranked arbitrarily based on my selective memory, bias, and other petty reasons <3 the rules are pretty simple— each movie gets a point for every song i like, no points for songs i don’t care about/skip, and negative points for songs i hate <3 im excluding anything live action and anything outside of the main animation studio, so no pixar, no dreamworks, and no sequels, and no enchanted, mary poppins, and definitely no into the woods. otherwise i’d never stop talking. some of this will be repeated from the categorized post i just made but it’s a different sorting system because i love sorting systems

if these movies have songs i cannot tell you what they are— dumbo, fox and hound, black cauldron, oliver, rescuers down under, great mouse detective, bambi, atlantis, raya and the last dragon, strange world, king arthur, three cabelleros, brother bear, anything else i can’t even think of right now (score: 0)

they’re not really musicals but there is at least one major bop: robin hood (the “oodilalee oodilalee golly what a day” song is cute), lilo and stitch (hawaiian roller coaster ride), 101 dalmatians (cruella de ville is so funny), aristocats (everybody wants to be a cat), lady and the tramp (bella note is nice and he’s a tramp is funny), alice in wonderland (happy unbirthday is cute) sleeping beauty (once upon a dream is pretty, i like how it incorporates the melody from the ballet) (score: 1)

pinochio: i guess wish upon a star is from pinochio, i thought it was in peter pan at first oops, actually i do think there are other songs i do hate but i can’t remember them well enough, which works in this movies favor (score 0.5)

the empowers new groove: the only one i can think of is yzma’s song, which was cut so (score: 0)

song of the south: i’ve never seen this nor do i want to but i do remember when ally and an covered zipidee doo dah (score: 0)

peter pan: i actually like “you can fly” but this point is revoked for the racist tiger lily song (score: 0)

jungle book: bare necessities is a cute proto hakuna matata, but i don’t like monkeys (score: 0)

fantasia: none of the characters are singing, all the music isn’t even original, but there is some impressive animation (score: 0.5)

tarzan: i don’t think phil collins did a BAD job, but compared to disney musicals where characters sing their own songs, these all sound kinda same-y. (0.5 for strangers like me, which is, okay, pretty good)

the princess and the frog: i only really remember “almost there” and “friends on the other side” but those are both great songs (score: 2)

snow white: “hi ho” isn’t as good as other fun and games songs imo, but it is memorable, “someday my prince will come” is nice enough (score: 1.5 i guess)

aladdin: one jump ahead, friend like me, and prince ali are so energetic and fun, and a whole new world is really lovely. -1 for the original arabian nights being so racist they had to change a line. (score: 3)

the little mermaid: i really love “part of your world” and “poor unfortunate souls” so so much. “kiss the girl” is cute, sure. “under the sea” is a little over rated but i can’t say it’s not good. “les poissons” is funny but not enough to get points (score: 3.5 i guess)

hunchback of notre dame: hellfire, god help the outcasts, and bells notre dame are so good. topsy turvy is not bad enough to lose points. (score: 3)

pochahontas: i liked this one as a kid because of ~nature~ and because pochahontas gets two solos. i like “just around the river bend” and “colors of the wind” even if they are kinda similar. loses a point for both sides-ing colonialism in “savages” (score: 1)

mulan: “reflection” is beautiful and emotional, “honor to us all” introduces is a great ensemble piece, “i’ll make a man out of you” is a great hype song, “a girl worth fighting for” is fine. this gets a bonus point for having a song in the sequel, “like other girls”, that was SO memorable i thought it was in the original (score: 4)

cinderella: “a dream is a wish your heart makes” is sweet, “so this is love” is pretty, and “bippiy boppity boo” is cute. there’s another song where the mice are like “cinderell-y cinderell-y” but idk which one. i still like rogers and hammerstein better. (score: 3)

tangled: i like repunzels i want song, gothels villain song, and the romantic duet. the fun and games song is okay (score: 3)

frozen: i like the snowman song, let it go is pretty good despite how over played it was, love is an open door is funny, and that song elsa and anna sing before the coronation that i can never remember the name of. the troll song is annoying, but not SO bad i want to take away a point for it. however, the reindeer song and “in summer” are annoying enough to take away points sorry (score: 2)

moana: i like how the melody from “how far i’ll go” recurs in the climactic song “i am moana”, and “your welcome” is a lot of fun. shiny is okay. (score: 3)

encanto: i like meet the madrigals as an intro song, surface pressure and bruno are pretty good, and i think i liked isabella’s song but i can’t remember the actual song (score: 3 i guess)

the lion king: “circle of life” is cinematic, i “hakuna matata” and “i just can’t wait to be king” are fun, and “be prepared” admittedly goes really hard. “can you feel the love tonight” is different because it isn’t sung by the characters, but it’s fine i guess. i’d really love to see the broadway adaptation for the costume designs alone. (score: 4)

hercules: the aesthetics really are the strength of this movie. i already mentioned i love the idea of using a gospel chorus for a movie about green gods, the muses are so fun. “gospel chorus” and its all its reprises are the best exposition i’ve ever heard. “go the distance” is lovely, chiron’s training montage song is fun, “zero to hero” is even more fun, “won’t say i’m in love” is my faaaavorite! (score: 5)

beauty and the beast: i am more than a little biased, but this soundtrack simply does not miss. “belle” and “belle reprise” i’ll count as one song, but i think it’s a really cool to put belle’s i want song in contrast with the world she lives in. “gaston” is a fun and games song for the villain, while setting up the mob mentality for the “mob song”, “be our guest” is a stellar piece of animation/choreography, “human again” isn’t even IN the original movie, but i think it’s nice to see the castle staff confiding in each other, and it’s a a waltz! yay! i actually didn’t realize it was only in the extended edition until like. three weeks ago. i never understand why sometimes it was in the movie and sometimes it wasn’t. anyway! “something there” is less a love song and more of a falling in love song, which i think is really nice, i love how belle and the beast have little asides about their new feelings, and how the castle staff gossips about them. and then “beauty and the beast (tale as old as time)” is just really really lovely sonically, lyrically, and animation wise. it’s unusual for the love songs because it’s not sung by either of the characters or any sort of narrator but a side character, but mrs potts is great, i love the well meaning nosiness of the castle staff, love angela lansbury, but i have to say, i do like how belle and the beast reprised this in the 30th anniversary edition they just did. and of the songs they added to the broadway musical, i really like “home” and “if i can’t love her” and the rest i like well enough, they all add something at least. “prologue” is the only song i don’t give points to because it’s spoken rather than sung, but the musical motifs are quite lovely, and i love the storybook feel (tangentially— according to google, the broadway version of “mob song” changes the key from f major to a minor… what’s up with that? does that happen a lot? i just think it’s interesting) (another random note, i vaguely remember bernadette peters little angel character for the christmas sequel but i don’t remember any actual songs) EDIT: i almost forgot but i wanted to add a note about how beauty and the beast includes the ensemble in nearly every song, beauty and the beast, the only true solo, is a love song sung by a character outside of the love story. i think it’s really cool and makes the world seem more filled out (score: 6)

My Slashersonas and s/o types

I got many asks about about s/o some of my OC would love, so I decided to write down for each of them. Also the ‘Type’ thing is what my OCs are: dominant, submissive, switch etc.

Richard Firewood (Pansexual)

Type: Cold Dominant

His type of s/o would have to be someone who is willing or not, depending on the situation, to give up their life and live with him at his hotel; he needs that someone to be completely dedicated to him, which means that they don't have to work so that they will be at their beck and call to Richard.

He owns a luxury hotel, he is very rich and can provide for himself and his s/o everything they need. His s/o has just to be his pet, following after his steps as they worship him.

His s/o has to listen and be submissive; of course, he will listen to what his s/o has to say if they have a certain desire or wish, but he has the final word and decision.

His s/o has to have class, as in they know how to act in public, don't embarrass him. If you are his, you have to play the cute and mannered partner. He is willing to teach you that if he sees some potential in you, but warning, his patience wears thin, so you better learn quickly if you want to stay with him.

He is a very busy man, so a clingy s/o annoys him. Yes, he loves the attention you give him, but what is too much might trigger him and you don't want an angry Richard.

Jackson Jasper (Pansexual)

Type: Warm/Caring Dominant

Being his s/o is much simpler than Richards because Jackson doesn't expect you to be perfect in all departments, he understands the fact that we all have flaws, but he does have certain expectations.

His type of s/o would have to be a housewife type or househusband seeing how he doesn't discriminate. Love is love, or in case what he wants he gets and he expects you to play that role; cleaning the house, doing the laundry, cooking breakfast and dinner.

He loves a clingy s/o, mostly because he is touch-starved and even when he goes on work trips with the truck he will pull you along, if the trips are short, after all.... There are animals and his dog, Jackpot that needs to be taken care.

Down and dirty; he needs someone who is more country-oriented than a town person. His style of life is simple, with no big technology. He does own a phone and a television, but that's about it. A s/o who isn't put off by a farm like life, someone who doesn't bicker about the mess the animals make. If you're like that, Jackson isn't for you, so you better keep the distance or he will drive over you with his truck.

His libido is pretty big, so an opened up s/o into sexual activities is a big must. A s/o that is all down to have fun between the bedsheets or many quickies around the house.

The Hacker (Pansexual)

Type: Sadistic Dominant

The opposite of Jackson above; The Hacker is a big city guy, surrounded by all technology and hates the rural areas; no Wifi? Fuck off. He lives in New York and the city that never sleeps is his favorite territory.

When it comes to  s/o type he needs someone exciting, someone, that is a constant rollercoaster. He is dominant, but having a complete submissive s/o that follows his every command is boring after one week. If you want to be his s/o, you will need to come with something new every once in a while, be it regular activities like going to a club, playing laser tag to all kinds of new kinks in the bedroom.

Someone smart; he has a genius-level intellect, so if you want to maintain a long-term relationship with him, you will have to get your smarts on. 

No nagging! He understands the fact that a relationship has its ups and downs, but don't tell him every 10 minutes to pick up his clothes from the floor, or that he should empty the ashtray from cigarettes and not to mention the cans of energy drinks from around his desk. He will do that! Don't tell him what to do constantly or he will make you disappear.

Bambi Miller (Bisexual)

Type: Caring Dominant/Playful Submissive

Her type of s/o has to be someone with manners because she is sick of the sleazy bastards and vain hookers in her hometown. She needs someone who respects her as she will respect them.

A warm and familist s/o; she has been an orphan since birth and she doesn't know what a family feels like. She wants what she didn't have as a child or teenager, someone that she can form an emotional bond. She did have sexual relationships, but the lack of the emotional prospect has left her with a bitter taste.

Someone old-school style; she doesn't need all the luxury life has to offer, she will be just content with a nice modest house that has a roof. She appreciates the smallest things life has to offer, even if it's just a pillow she can sleep on. 

Someone energetic and fun; she loves to go out and enjoy herself, playing darts, dancing, and having a couple of drinks, but be respectful towards her if it's the first date. She doesn't enjoy someone's hands inside her pants just like that out of the blue.

A s/o that can offer her assurance as in that she isn't alone, that life can change for the better, and just simply holds her in the morning on the front porch drinking coffee.

Dave Anthony (Pansexual)

Type: Insane/Cruel Dominant

His type of s/o would have to be human and small, considering he is over 7'0 tall that should work for almost everyone. He needs a s/o that doesn't break that easily and can keep up with his sadistic shenanigans; a masochistic s/o would be perfect for him.

His s/o can be anywhere; if the s/o entered his asylum, it's all done. You can be in Asia and he will simply teleport there. Your soul is bound now to him. There is no escape.

He isn't picky when it comes to a s/o, so almost anyone will do, but he does have some rules. He doesn't want someone evil for a s/o. He is attracted to purity. It's ironic seeing how evil he was as a human and more so as a poltergeist.

A feisty s/o perhaps? Just so he can break them, that's entertainment for him. What's the point of a s/o who is already broken? He cannot play with a broken toy.

Samuel Grayson (Straight and Demisexual)

Type: Attentive Dominant

A complete opposite of Dave; Samuel's s/o has to have a pure heart, but he won't hurt his s/o, unlike Dave. Samuel kills only the ones that are plagued by sins. A genuine s/o with a heart of gold is perfect for him, someone who can light his black and cold heart.

A loyal s/o; he hates cheating, so if you want to be with him, you better give up on dating, flirting, and all that. He hates liars and he will know if you cheated.

A s/o that loves dogs, seeing how almost half of his being are demonic Dobermans.

As a human he wanted to have a family of his own, so he needs a familist s/o, even if said s/o has a job to go to, he is patient. He will wait for you to get home and watch as you take care of his apartment, now yours too. 

Gerome and Axel (Pansexual)

Type: Sadistic Dominant/Smug Submissive

They need an understanding s/o, seeing how they are together in everything, even a relationship with someone. You get two hitmen in one shot, so you better have enough energy for two.

A lively s/o, someone who is smiling and always in the mood for fun, even if it's day or night because these two don't have a schedule.

Perhaps a housewife s/o type? Being mostly away and on their jobs, someone has to take care of their beach house. You can choose if you want to work too, they don't mind an independent s/o, but just so you know.... They earn a lot of money from being hitmen.

A flexible s/o; are you a dominant, a submissive? Either way works for them. Gerome is a more laid-back playful guy, while Axel is the opposite, being cold and with sharp edges, so a s/o who can balance them would be perfect.

Their s/o has to be understanding; they are hitmen and that's what they do, it's their job and they won't give up on that for anyone. Take them as they are.

Damiano Liberato (Straight)

Type: Sensual Dominant

He is very picky and his s/o has to reach certain standards; a trophy s/o that he can show off in public only to assert his importance and dominance.

His s/o has to be classy, always put together, after all, he is a fashion mogul and he doesn't settle for someone who wears jeans and sneakers. No, no. Absolutely no. His s/o won't ever embarrass him like that. It's an insult!

Genuine adoration; because of his past, Damiano needs someone who stays with him for HIM, not for his status or money. If he finds out his s/o is a golddigger, then said s/o will be turned into a grotesque mannequin.

Manners are a must; not only must you look impeccable, but your attitude needs to be the same; back straight, always answer when someone asks you something, pay attention. Little things that are vital when in a relationship with this fashion killer.

Azment (Pansexual)

Type: Loving Dominant/Playful Submissive

Being her s/o doesn't require too much work, just your undying attention, and love towards her. She isn't picky about it, to be honest; just don't leave the mansion or you will die. Easy as that.

Mitch Carson (Pansexual)

Type: Animalistic Dominant

He is more animal than human and doesn't really have many expectations from a s/o. His s/o would be more like a captive than a love interest. He views his s/o as a form of sexual relief and nothing else.

He needs a submissive s/o that will stay by his side and even if they try to escape him, he will chase them down. You are his and his alone, so you better stay put or he will collar and chain you like an animal. 

Mitch doesn't have any humanity left inside him, so he doesn't understand the concept of a s/o.

Azol (Pansexual)

Type: Degrading/Cruel Dominant

Much like Dave... Azol is a supernatural evil being with a sadistic pleasure in hurting and inflicting physical and psychical pain on his s/o, not fatally, but enough to make them cry, so a masochistic s/o would be perfect.

His s/o would have to be someone who is pretty much alone, and if they are not, well.... say bye, bye to your friends and family. 

A sassy s/o could work for him because he loves a challenge and loves to show off what real power resides inside him, teaching his s/o their place is the best game.

The Shadow (Pansexual)

Type: Sensual/Sadistic Dominant

Being a dominant, he needs a s/o who is submissive, playing the obedient housewife or better yet, maid; he has a busy life and is constantly working, so someone needs to keep his house spotless.

An intellectual s/o is a must; well not as intellectual as him, because he is a master genius and he knows it, but he doesn't want a mindless s/o that he needs to tell them what to do every five seconds.

His s/o won't need to work. He provides more than enough for both of you, all his s/o has to do is take care of his house, make dinner and be at his beck and call when the more.... lustful side comes out to play.

A respectful s/o; all childhood he has been criticized by the people that should have loved him. Don't question him, because what he does is for his and your best. Just stay by his side, loyal and things will be just fine.

He is a traditional type of guy, and doesn't get the idea of nowadays modern things and fashion; a vintage-like s/o would be perfect for him, decent and presentable.

Bahini Talibah (Straight and Demisexual)

Type: Caring/Loving Submissive

A s/o that would be perfect for her is someone with lots of patience and understanding because she has been through a worse ordeal in the love department and it takes time for her to trust someone on that level.

Someone who is simple; she doesn't need a perfect husband with money and all that material nonsense. She wants someone who will unconditionally care for her, be by her side when she needs emotional support.

A s/o that is a good listener. She has a lot to tell you, once you earned her trust, and to understand her better you need to hear out her stories because she has many interesting things to tell you, after all....she is over 100 years old.

Honesty; an honest s/o who will tell her everything they have on their heart, even if it's choosing a tv program, just be honest that you want to watch something else. 

Xaviera Lah-Mo (Straight)

Type: Obedient Submissive/Cheeky Dominant

She is a free spirit and needs someone who will match her wild soul, someone who isn't afraid to get into the far more dangerous part of the world; after all.... She is flirting with danger a lot; hunting poachers, observing wild animals that can kill her if she isn't careful.

A protective s/o; she can take care of herself, being good with the sniper rifle and into archery, but she lacks the strength into the body to body fight. It makes her feel loved to be protected.

Someone with a rough edge; she is spending most of her time in the wildness, far FAR away from the big cities. She prefers the quietness and tranquility of nature. A s/o that isn't fazed by few scratches or hard physical work, a strong s/o.

Someone with a sense of humor; she wants someone that can make her laugh, even if it's just for a few seconds and that's a hard one because she is a tough one to crack.

[peach-pops]

heyo 🗿 may i request a matchup pls 🤲 i’m a straight female, i’m 5’6” and i have freakishly long limbs. like, it’s awkward how long my legs are. i have hip-length white hair and i have tons of freckles literally everywhere. i’m a figure skater and a dancer (🕺😼) and i’m constantly listening to music. i’m pretty reserved but i also carry that chaotic energy 🧍thank u!💗

 i’m either attracted to one type or another. it’s either a guy who’s super outgoing and enthusiastic with an impeccable 👌😼 meme taste, or a shy, quiet guy. i definitely like guys with the same music taste. i’m really into indie rock, or alt. rock music. i’m not really a fan of rap but occasionally if my emotions get the best of me i have my angry rap playlist i’ll put on repeat. as for pet peeves, i cannot deal with someone who has two faces. i need someone who’s truthful || i prefer people to be who they truly are and don’t feel the need to mask their true selves. i’ve had too many people in my past who have lied about their true intentions with me and it makes me extremely angry and honestly kind of lost. also if he watches anime or reads manga i’m set for life 🙈 i hope this is enough information for you!! thank you so much!!

thanks for sending in a matchup! I really hope you like it and I gave you a lil bit of each type if you catch my drift (lowkey really proud of the bnha one) Matchups are open and the rules are in my bio! 

I ship you with Nishinoya! 

The first time he actually saw you was when he went over to Tanaka’s house and the very first channel on the tv was your televised dance competition. 

He was BREATHLESS watching you with your technique and he found his heart stop at the end when you smiled at the camera cause “ohmygodshesmiledatme!!!”

Now imagine how he felt when Tanaka noticed and told him that you were in his math class! Noya begged Tanaka to introduce him to you and right from the start, you two hit it off and started to date

If it’s meme taste you want, it’s meme taste you’ll get. A good morning text is always really cute but with Noya, he’ll always send some chaotic meme that he found in the depths of the internet. His reasoning is that he wants you to laugh before you even get out of bed so you’ll have a good start to your day

Will always show you off to his teammates and will call you ridiculous/cringey nicknames that are based off inside jokes like bambi, ice queen, and Freckles ( that one is obvious but you get it)

Noya is the type to shout on rooftops about how lucky he is to be with someone as pretty and talented as you are. It never gets old although sometimes, you find it embarrassing. If you ever wanted him to stop, he would but would be really confused as to why he can’t show the world how proud he is of you 

I ship you with Tamaki!

I’m going to say your quirk first cause it’s important on how you two met! Your quirk is: Cryokinetic surfing which means the bottom of your feet can release ice that helps aid in movement (basically like permanent ice skates) 

One day as Tamaki was walking out of the dorm to class with Nejire and Mirio, you had woken up late because you slept through your alarm. You got ready as fast as you could and you used your quirk to quickly skate to class. Just as Tamaki was about to open the building doors, you accidentally ran into him and omg poor Tamaki he was MORTIFIED!

He was really embarrassed cause Tamaki had a huge crush on you and he thought it was his fault but you had to reassure him that you were okay and asked if you needed to take him to the nurse. He said over and over that he was fine but Mirio INSISTED that you should take him to Recovery Girl cause wink wonk he’s the best wing man

Very slowly but eventually, the two of you started dating and while he would never admit it out loud, Tamaki was really grateful you ran into him that day cause he couldn’t stand watching and pining for you from afar any longer

Tamaki’s music taste is more like lofi and chill coffee beats but he started listening to more alt and indie music so you two could relate and talk about it more! He even made you a playlist of all the songs that reminded him of you and his face was so red when you told him how sweet he was

One of the big things you like/respect about Tamaki is that he never feels the need to mask his true self. Yes, he’s shy and sometimes gets insecure but you are comfortable in your thoughts knowing he would never lie to you or try to be someone he’s not 

He has his own ways of being supportive and loving you; he won’t shout from the rooftops that he loves you like Noya, but he expresses his love through small gestures and quality time. As long as you both look out for each other and work to try to understand each other, things will go smoothly

Warning: Swearing

Word Count: 6728

         The last time that I was flung back to the past, I was not yet a teenager, but this time I can tell that I am in my first year of high school. At a gala of sorts that my father put on to have kids of his partners come to mingle with each other, since we all go to the same school. I’m sure that the Fakes are here somewhere, but this is just a memory that I get to relive.

         “I really don’t want to be here,” I groan, leaning against the wall of the ballroom. “What does it matter that we are friends with these kids?”

         I can hear the low rumble of music, but there is no way that I am able to recognize any of the songs. The lights in the room are not as bright as it could be, but I am still able to see everything clearly.

         “We are here to make our father happy,” Yoongi replies. “Becoming friends with anyone here is not required of us.” He’s dressed up in a nice suit and his hair all styled.

         “Someone is going to want to become friends with us,” I roll my eyes, running my hands over the light purple dress that I picked out for this event. Well, that Sooyoung picked out for me. “Everyone wants to be with the Min kids.”

         Yoongi chuckles, “Is that what people call us? The Min Kids?”

         I giggle, “Stop trying to be funny,” I give him a shove.

         It is crazy to see me this playful with Yoongi in such a public setting. He’s always stoic, making sure that no one but I am able to see his kind and caring side. Not since our mother died. This scene is abnormal, but I am sure that Yoongi had moments when he would act like this that were taken from me. It’s not like anyone is coming up to us.

         “You know that I am oh so funny,” Yoongi leans into me, poking my side. “Come on, cheer up. This isn’t the worst thing that you have had to go through.”

         “I know, I know,” I sigh. “I’m just not in the mood to be around all these people. I want to be in bed, snuggling with my stuffed animals, and watching a good show.”

         “That would be nice,” he sighs. “I’d want to snuggle with you though. Having a nice time with my little sister. Still, we have to toughen up and power through the rest of this evening. Then we can spend the whole day together, in your room, tomorrow. Just the two of us with all kinds of snacks.”

         “That sounds perfect,” I let the gummy smile take over my face. “Ugh, can this just be over?”

         “Ah, Yoongi, Areum, I knew that I would find you off together,” my father steps up to us with a grin.

         I feel my heart clench seeing my father alive and happy. It’s been getting harder each day to recall his voice, and his face is slipping from my mind. I can barely imagine going as long without him as my mother. I scarcely remember anything about what she looked like, or smelled like, or sounded like. She is shrouded in fog that will never lift.

         “What are you doing over here?” I ask, pushing up onto my toes a few times in excitement that maybe we can leave.

         “I was coming to grab Yoongi,” my father places a hand on Yoongi’s shoulder. “I wanted to introduce him to a few some people.”

         “What about me?” I grab the skirt of my dress. “Doesn’t anyone want to talk to me with you? I’m just as important as Yoongi.”

         “Maybe next time, pumpkin,” he tenderly smiles at me. “This is a bit more mature than what you are used to.”

         “I know about what is going on,” I grumble. “I know Bangtan’s true purpose.”

         “That’s right, Areum is now a part of the inner workings,” Yoongi slings his arm around my shoulders. “She should start to interact with the partners.”

         “I am going to slowly transition her, but tonight is not the time to show the others that she is going to be co-owner in the future,” my father pats the top of my head. “Don’t worry, Bambi, you will get your time in the sun.”

         “Fine,” I pout, crossing my arms. “Have fun off with whoever.”

         “We love you,” Yoongi and my father swoop in to press a kiss to each cheek.

         “Just go,” I squeal out giggles, pushing them away.

         “Please talk to someone,” my father gently pinches my cheek as he walks away. “Those group of girls over there look nice,” he motions over to some girls that I have been avoiding all night. “Just have fun.”

         Yoongi and my father walk away, leaving me to either stay by myself or find someone to waste time with.

         I notice that the group of girls that my father pointed out is indeed the Fakes that would eventually ruin my life. The ones that would force me to be someone that I was not for years in school, but would help me grow into the person I am today. One that will stand up for myself, and one that will stop doing things for others. It might take a while for that to happen, but I will reach that point.

         “Please do not come talk to me,” I whisper to myself. “Oh god, I do not want to talk to any girls.”

         I understand that so much, little Areum. I hated talking to those bitches every day. I hated wearing dresses and heels to impress them. I hated the person that I became when they showed up. I will never do that to help someone else.

         “Um, hello,” a boy’s voice fills my ears.

         I slightly jump, looking over to see a boy. “Oh, ah, hi,” I give a small wave.

         “I’m sorry if I scared you,” he flashes an apologetic smile.

         That’s Reo, no doubt in my mind. I can understand why I would have liked him back then. He’s super cute, and I guess that he still is to this day.

         “My name is Reo, Dr. Sato’s son,” Reo shoves his hands into his pockets. “And I know that you are Areum, because I just saw you with your brother, Yoongi, and only hangs out with one girl.”

         “Yeah, I’m Areum,” I slightly smile. “I’ve talked to you a few times at the doctor’s office.”

         “Oh yeah,” he nods a few times. “My time at the office kind of all blends together, but I do remember you now that I think about it.”

         “That’s good,” I giggle. “I like to think that I am unforgettable.”

         Reo chuckles, “I can assure you that you are. I’m just kind of stupid.”

         “No, don’t say that,” I slightly pout, reaching out to touch his arm.

         “It’s true. Even with my father as a doctor, I am never going to be like that. I’d rather do something a bit more artistic, but I don’t know what yet.”

         “You have a long time to figure out a career,” I pull my hand back. “We aren’t even out of high school yet. There is so much time to think everything over and find a good passion.”

         “Do you have any idea what you want to do?” He tilts his head slightly to one side.

         “Oh, um, actually, I want to write. Like, I would write for anything. I’d write stories, or articles about whatever. I just want to get my ideas out into the world.”

         “That is a cool idea. I bet you hear this a lot, but I would read your published books, no matter the subject.”

         “I do hear that a lot, but it sounds better coming from someone my age.” I feel my cheeks slowly heating up.

         I cannot believe that I am actually flirting with this boy, and that he is kind of flirting back with me. Two awkward teenagers trying to figure out the dating world, and neither of us really knowing what the hell we are doing.

         “I actually noticed that those girls over there have been looking at you for a while, and I didn’t want you to be ambushed by them,” Reo quickly glances in the direction of the girls that I did not want to interact with. “I’m glad that I was able to get to you before them, because I am having a nice time talking with you.”

         “Me too,” I swish my hands over my skirts. “Dr. Sato is always so nice, so I wouldn’t expect anything less from his son.”

         “Thanks,” he smiles as his cheeks redden.

         I’m not really sure how to feel about this whole interaction. I have never been one to really flirt, and now that I have Taehyung, I don’t feel the need to flirt like normal people do. Even before Taehyung and I decided to label our relationship, I wouldn’t say that we really flirted with each other. I didn’t even know that I had this type of behavior in me. I wouldn’t say I am doing a good job at flirting, either.

         “We go to the same school, don’t we?” I ask

         “Different classes, but yeah, we go to the same school,” Reo nods. “I kind of always wished to be in the same class as you, but I guess the world had different plans.”

         I giggle, “Why would you want to be in my class? It’s not like it is that interesting in my class. Just trying to get through the day.”

         “Oh, um, well, I think you’re cute,” he nervously grins, scratching at the back of his neck. “I’d like to be in your class to sit next to you, and get to know you a better.”

         “You think I’m cute?” I nervously mess with a stand of hand hanging down near my face, knowing that my cheeks are bright red.

         “Really cute.” His cheeks redden even more. “I know that it is weird for me to say that since we don’t really know each other.”

         “It’s not weird at all,” I shake my head, feeling bad that he would think that way. “I think that you are cute, too.”

         “Really? Are you just saying that?” He gives me a small shove on the shoulder.

         “No, I would never do that. You really are cute.”

         “Then what do you say about going on a date with me?” His lopsided smile has my heart skipping a beat at how cute he is.

         What the hell just happened? That was way too easy. I mean, I get that we are young and awkward, but we barely know each other. We just started talking at this party, and now we are going to go on a date. I mean, I guess that Taehyung and I hadn’t known each other long, but in a weird way we did. Oh, I bet I was just happy to have a boy liking me. It could have been worse.

         “That sounds nice,” I shift around on my feet. “What would you like to do?”

         He shrugs, “I’m not really picky. We could go mini-golfing, or to a movie, or out to a diner. Any of those sound good to you?”

         “I haven’t been mini-golfing in so long. That would be so much fun to do.” A gummy smile takes over my face.

         “We should probably tell our dads about our plans, right?” He chuckles. “Neither of us can drive, so someone is going to need to get us there.”

         “Don’t worry, I have a driver. Besides, if we tell them, they are going to ask a ton of questions, and I don’t want to be pestered. I just want to go out, have a nice time, and see what happens next. They can find out once we get closer.”

         “That is very true,” he chuckles. “We need to exchange numbers so that we can figure out what day works to play putt-putt.”

         “Do you have your phone with you? I can just give you my number.”

         “Perfect,” he pulls his phone out of his pants pocket with a grin.

         Our conversation fades away, but the scene isn’t changing to show Reo and I in a new place. In fact, this reminds me of when I was shown my parents being cute off in a room while little me ran pass. There is something here that my brain is screaming at me to notice, but I don’t know what I am looking for.

         I will the memory to widen, and that is when I notice the boy off in the dark. He’s looking in my direction with a sad look on his face. I know in a second that it is Taehyung, and he has been taken from me at this point. He has to watch me fall in love with a boy that is not him. He has to watch me do cute couple things that I should be doing with him. He has to live with the fact that I was forced to forget him for unknown reasons.

         I am so sorry, Taehyung. I am so sorry.

********

         “That was pretty good,” I snuggle into Reo’s side as Yobi: The Five Tailed Fox rolls the credits. “Not something I would have thought to watch, but I enjoyed it.”

         “Animation movies are some of the best in my opinion,” Reo presses a kiss to the crown of my head.

          We seem to be at his house in a theater type room, as the chairs are big and comfy with a large screen to watch on. I seem to be quite happy all snuggled up to him, but my heart now feels repulsed. This is not the boy that I am in love with. This is all a lie. I should have never been with him. It hurts to see this, but I know that it is important that I stay focused.

         “So, um, Areum, I’ve been thinking about us recently,” Reo clears his throat with a cough.

         I tense up, fearing the worst. “What about us? Are we going too slow?”

         “No, not at all,” he sits up, holding me out by the shoulders. “I was fearing that we were going too fast. I mean, we’re alone at my house, all snuggled together, and we’ve only being going on dates for a couple months. I didn’t know if you had a pace that you usually go by, and I have just been waiting for you to make the big decisions.”

         “Oh, um,” I feel my cheeks beginning to heat up. “This is my first real relationship, so I have just been going with the flow. I don’t really know what I am doing. I’ll be honest that there have been times when I was nervous, but I know that it is just you, and you would never do anything to hurt me.”

         That’s what you think, little Areum, but this boy has some evil intentions that you don’t know about yet. He may seem all sweet now, and maybe he was in the beginning, but it is not going to last forever. I wish that I could jump in and stop her from getting hurt. I wish that I could stop myself from getting heartbroken.

         “I’ll admit too, that I have been scared at times,” I nibble on my bottom lip, pulling away from Reo. “With this being my first relationship, I didn’t know what to expect. Our first date was like hanging out with a friend, but each date after that was getting progressively more couple-like. I am so afraid of getting hurt, and I don’t know why. Like, I trust you, and I know that you make me happy. I should just let it go and dive in with you. Then the whole world will know that Areum Min has found someone to be with.”

         “I understand why you are scared, Ari, and I would never hurt you,” he reaches out to grab my hands. “I would never do anything to cause you pain of any kind. You deserve the best, and I want you to know that I will always strive for that. I want to make you as happy as possible. Seeing you smile, blushing, laughing, that makes me so happy. I want you to be able to talk to me about anything that goes on in that cute head of yours,” he brings a hand up to tap my forehead with his index finger. “So, are you ready to become official?”

         I giggle, “Maybe if you phrase it a bit differently.”

         “Areum,” his lopsided smile forms on his lips. “Will you be my girlfriend?”

         “Yes,” I squeal, tackling him into the seat. “Yes, Reo, I will be your girlfriend.”

         “I can’t believe that I get to call you my girlfriend,” he wraps his arms around me, giving me a squeeze. “Ah, this is amazing. This is going to be great. We can go on fancier dates, and we can hang out ever more, and we’ll have to let the city know about us.”

         I chuckle, nuzzling my face into his chest, “I’m not that big of a celebrity, Reo. I doubt people would care if I am going out with someone.”

         “The daughter of the man who runs the biggest business in Seoul has a lot of eyes on her. The same goes for your brother. I’m not saying that we hold a press conference or anything. Just a little social media posting is all that needs to be done. Let all the other boys out there know that you are no longer available.”

         “That sounds fine by me,” I let my eyes fall close.

         A social media post? When did that ever happen? If we really did tell the city, and to an extent the country and the world, about our relationship, how was it kept from me for so long? How did I never see someone talking about the old days? If we were really this serious, how come Reo vanished from the earth? I know that Bangtan has a lot of influence over the city and what happens, so it is possible that once this all blows up, they were able to protect me. That the hackers are able to erase the social media postings, or say that it was just a misunderstanding. Bangtan will always be there to make sure that I am safe.

********

         I watch as younger me makes her way down a Seoul sidewalk in a neighborhood near my old high school. It is easy to tell that I am in my third year of high school based on the bright colors that I am wearing. The Fakes would never let me wear what I truly want, but I do know that the bright colors here are reflecting the happiness inside me. There is a pep in my step that I am just now learning to get back. The only place that I could possibly be going is Reo’s house, but for what reason I hope that I can piece together.

         “A whole year and a half officially together,” I giggle, skipping a couple times. “I can’t believe that we have been together for that long. Two whole years of high school I have spent with him. What a great time.”

         Two whole years of spending time with him. All that time could have been spent with Taehyung, but instead I was falling in love with a heartbreaker. A boy who never deserved my time. Reo never understood just how important he meant to me, and how much that love I showed him was so pure.

         “I wonder what he’s been doing all day,” I look up at the cloud filled sky. It’s not meant to rain today, but it looks like that might not be true. “Not that it really matters, because we are going to watch movies once I surprise him. Just like when we became an official couple. Though, this time might end a bit differently now that we have become closer.” I feel my cheeks heat up as the intimate times Reo and I have float to the surface of my brain.

         What? I mean, I can’t be that surprised that Reo and I had sex when we were together. Two whole years of spending time together, and just a little under that of true dating, means that we would have done a lot of things that I just don’t remember. There are vague memories of this relationship, but it all blurs with the few other brief boyfriends that I had after him.

         I reach Reo’s house, pulling the key out of my pocket that he gave me a year ago so that I could come over whenever I please. I’ve been over by myself as Dr. Sato is off at work, and I rarely see Mrs. Sato as she likes to go on trips all the time.

         I stick the key into the lock, turning it to give me access to the house. I try to be as quiet as I can, trying to shock Reo like the many times he has done to me in the past. My poor dog in training has almost bitten him multiple times for how scared I have been, and I only want to get him back.

         I tip-toe through the ground floor to the steps, doing my best to avoid the ones that squeak as I go to the second floor. It is silent, which is slightly unsettling, but it just means that Reo could be sleeping which will makes this even better. I’ll stop his punches if he wakes up in a fit. Jimin and I have been training for some years now, and I like to think that I am pretty good.

         Ah, training with Jimin started soon after my mother died, and has never stopped. I think that I will be using that very soon on the asshole that I am trying to show my love to.

         I reach the door to Reo’s room, which is closed all the way. Not something that I see a lot, but doesn’t really bother me. “Ugh, teenage boys,” I roll my eyes. “Probably jacked it and then went to take a nap. Perfect for scaring the shit out of him, though.”

         As much as I had wished that was all he had been doing, I can appreciate now that it was something else. It lead me back to the one who was meant for me.

         I fling the door open, “Reo, surprise!”

         I watch as my whole body freezes up, a sadness exploding onto my face as I expose Reo for the true bastard that he is.

         “What the fuck?” My eyes widen and my heart falls to my toes as I take in the sight in front of me.

         Reo and some girl I have never seen before is in his bed, both of them covered in hickeys and clearly naked. It feels like a dream that I have caught my boyfriend in this situation, but there is no denying it. Reo is cheating on me.

         “Ari, what are you doing here?” Reo jumps out of his bed. Surprisingly, he had the decency to put boxers on after having his fun with whoever is in his bed. “Baby, you always let me know when you are coming over.” He walks over to me, but I quickly step out of his reach.

         “I wanted to surprise my boyfriend, but it looks like you have surprised me. Like you always do,” I glare at Reo. “What the fuck do you think you are doing?”

         “Me,” the girl answers with a chuckle.

         “Please, stay out of this,” Reo glances back at the girl.

         “How long has this been going on?” I take a deep breath.

         “A few months,” Reo answers.

         “Months!” I scream. “You’ve been cheating on me for months!”

         “Six to be exact,” the girl says.

         “I told you to stay the fuck out of this!” Reo shouts at the girl.

         “Six months!” The anger boils inside of me, but I fight to keep it under control. “You mother fucking cheater! You bastard! You, you, asshole! Six months ago was our first full year together! And you were already tired of me? I thought you fucking loved me. I loved you!” I feel the tears running down my cheeks, and I swipe at them to make sure he knows that they aren’t for him.

         “Ari, you know I love you,” Reo reaches out to me, but I slap his hand. “Come on, baby, we can work through this. I made a mistake, and you’ve been so busy lately.”

         “A mistake! This is more than a fucking mistake, Reo. And don’t even think to pin the blame on me. This is all on you. A cheater? I can’t believe you!”

         “Areum, please, you are upset right now, and you have every right to be, but we can talk this out. Figure out how to move passed this. It’s not like I’ve done a lot with her,” he motions at the girl in his bed. “Sure, I’ve been hanging out with her for six months, but it didn’t get to this point until very recently. It’s not as bad as you think.”

         “Oh, it’s not as bad as I think?” I growl. “I just wanted to come over and surprise my boyfriend, and I find him in bed with another girl. A girl that he has just fucked. I’m surprised that you weren’t in here smoking. Or is your dad finding cigarettes in your room worse than me finding you with someone else!? You fucking disgust me!”

         “Please, baby, you need to take a few deep breaths,” Reo cautiously takes a step towards me. “It doesn’t have to end this way. We can make it through this. Here, I’ll tell her to leave.”

         I clench my jaw in anger, “That isn’t going to fix this.”

         “And I am not leaving,” the girl snaps. “She’s the one who came over unannounced, and she is the one who should leave.”

         “She’s my girlfriend, not you!” Reo picks up a shoe from the floor, throwing it at the girl who barely dodges it. “You are such an annoying bitch, and I am done with you.”

         “And you are done with me,” I growl, letting the tears fall freely.

         “What?” Reo looks at me with wide eyes. “Ari, please, think about this. I am sorry, and I will do whatever I can to make this up to you. You just have to calm down, and then we can talk this over. We have been hanging out for two years now, and you just want to throw that all away?”

         “For a cheater, without a doubt,” I take the key to his house out of my pocket. “You can take this back,” I toss it towards him. “I won’t be coming over here ever again.”

         “Ari-”

         “Stop calling me that!” I scream. “You don’t get to call me that anymore! I don’t love you anymore!”

         “Areum,” he breaths out, stepping up to me. “I still love you. I never stopped loving you.”

         “Shut up,” I pull my hand back, slapping his across the face with as much force I can muster.

         Reo falls to the floor clutching his face with both hands, tears already streaming down his face.

         “That’s what you get for cheating,” I spit at him. “That is just a fraction of the pain that I am feeling right now. You broke my heart, Reo, and I hope you are proud of that.” I turn on my heel, rushing out of his room. I want to get out of this house as fast as possible.

         “Areum! Come back!” Reo’s voice calls after me, but it just spurs me to run faster.

         “I never want to see his face again,” I mumble as I burst out of the house, running down the street with no real place to go.

         Young Areum races down the sidewalk with tears running down her cheeks as my heart breaks. I knew that my first love broke my heart and pushed me away from dating for a while, but I never could recall exactly what happened as those memories were taken from me. I just accepted that he had cheated, that I hated his guts, and moved on. I didn’t want to dwell on someone who had hurt me.

         I never deserved to go through this. I never deserved to give my heart to someone who never wanted it. My heart was shattered by a boy who gave two shits about me, and I will forever be a different person because of it.

         “This is all for a reason,” I slow down, doing my best to dry my face with my hands. “I was meant to find out now,” I take a shaky breath. “He wasn’t the one, and I should have known that. The one is out there. He’s waiting to love me like I want to love him. So, where are you?”

         He’s waiting for you behind a computer screen, precious girl. He will love you like Reo never could, and you will be happier than ever. You just have to get through this. You will get through this no matter how much it hurts. This storm will lead to a rainbow.

********

         It’s dark and cramped, reminding me of a nightmare that I want to wake up from. However, I know that this is important to learning about my past, and I must be brave for what my mind is about to show me.

         “Areum, please, I still love you,” Reo’s voice chokes out. “Stop this. You are going to regret this.”

         I let out a laugh of sadness and anger mixed together. The knife in my hand dripping crimson blood that comes from the cheater I have tied to a chair. “This is still just a fraction of the pain that you have made me go through.”

         My hair is up in pigtails just like the girl in the nightmare, and the anger within me transcends the memory to present day. All that anger that I had back then pushed me to do this to the boy that had invaded my heart for so long. I could do it all over again with the anger that is beginning to boil within me now.

         Reo looks up at me, regret and fear written all over his face. “Please, baby, you’ve done enough.” Blood is seeping through his clothes from all the cuts that I have scattered over his body.

         “I think you underestimated me, Reo,” I snarl. “Don’t worry, I’m not going to kill you. That means that you would get off easy, and I wouldn’t want that to happened.”

         He struggles against the restraints, groaning as pain shoots through all his open wounds.

         “None of this would have happened if you just would have been a man, and came to me before going to her. All you had to say is you fell out of love with me. That would have been okay with me. I would have moved on in a week, and you could go off and be happy with her.”

         “I didn’t fall out of love with you,” he coughs, spitting some blood out at his feet. “I still love you. I love you so very much.”

         “Instead, you went off, slept with her, and lead me along,” I continue talking as if I never heard him. “A cheater, that’s what you are. Once a cheater, always a cheater,” I sneer. “Don’t worry though, your precious little girlfriend won’t be harmed. It was finally pounded into her dense skull that she was the one in the wrong. Thanks to my boys,” I smirks. “You know, when I saw you two in your bed that day, my heart shattered into a million pieces.”

         “I said I was sorry,” Reo chokes out through a mouth full of blood. “Stop this.”

         “And then, almost instantly, it was glued back together with the fury of what I was witnessing. You should have never messed with me. You mess with me, you mess with my brother, and all my friends. I have an army of boys to protect me. You fucked with the wrong girl,” I point the knife at the tortured boy. “And to think, I told you that I love you. To think that I actually thought that I was going to live the rest of my life with my first love.”

         “Please, Areum, you don’t want to do this.”

         “You don’t get to tell me what to do anymore,” I let the knife fall to the ground. “This is what I have been trained to do when someone fucks me over. I need to do this.”

         “No, this is not the Areum that I know and love. You are letting your anger get the better of you,” he takes a shaky breath.

         “What else am I supposed to do!?” I scream.

         This is my nightmare. The one that has been torturing me for years as I try to figure out if it is a memory or just my imagination. It is not all the same, as before my brain was doing whatever it could to fill out the big missing chunks. Now with all the memories about Reo rushing back at me, I can see the whole picture for once.

         “If you ever tell anyone about what happened today, I will find you, and I will kill you,” I turn my back to him. “Don’t even think that I am joking unless you want to find out for yourself just how evil I can be. You wouldn’t be the first to have their life ended by Bambi.”

         “I still love you, and I will never stop loving you, Areum,” Reo says.

         “I’ll send in a doctor for you,” I start walking towards the exit. “Goodbye forever, Reo.”

********

         The dark and cramped is replaced in a flash with bright white and sparkling clean. That means I can only be in one place: my therapist’s office. It makes sense that I would be back here after the events that I had to go through, but I wish that I didn’t have to relive it. There’s one place on this earth that I never want to go, and it is where I see myself calmly sitting in the waiting room.

         I absentmindedly flip through a magazine that is a few years old. I don’t really care about what it has to say, but I will do anything to try and take my mind off of where I am. “Even if I came here on my own free will,” I mumble.

         That explains why I am not throwing a fit, and why I am all by myself. Even if I hate the man that took my memories the first time, I must trust his skills to wipe my brain once again.

         “Areum Min,” my therapist’s voice cracks me out of my thoughts. “It is a pleasure to see you.”

         I toss the magazine back onto the table, pushing out of the seat. “Pleasure is not the word that I would use, but I am here.” I brush past him into his office. “I just know that you can help me with getting rid of my memories.”

         “Ah, so something traumatic happened. Your father didn’t call to let me know you were on your way.”

         “I haven’t told him about all that went on,” I plop down on the couch as I watch my therapist make his way to lean against the front of his desk. “All he knows is that I broke up with my boyfriend. That fuck,” I grumble.

         “A failed relationship is what brought you here all by yourself?”

         “It’s what I did,” I pinch the bridge of my nose. “I found him cheating on me. Like, in bed with another girl, so you can imagine how angry I was. Furious is probably a better word.”

         “I’d ask you to put it on a scale of one to ten, but I can imagine the number with the way you are right now.”

         “There isn’t a number high enough to portray how pissed I was. I mean, he always seemed happy and like he was in love with me when I was with him. I really thought that we were going to be together for a long time. I really did love him, but forgiving a cheater is not something I can do. He shattered my heart.”

         “I’m not sure what you want me to do? I know that this break-up is hard, but you should keep that with you. It helps you grow.”

         “I want to remember what he did, for sure. I’d like to forget his stupid face, and what I did to him after.”

         “What did you do to him after, Areum?”

         “How much do you know about where I come from?” I finally look up into his eyes.

         He shrugs, “If this has to do with the mafia, then I know enough for you to talk about hurting someone, or whatever else you might have done.”

         “I didn’t kill him, if that is what you are thinking,” I roll my eyes, crossing my arms. “I just tortured him for a bit to give him a taste of what I had felt. He shattered my heart, and I needed to get that anger out. Through it all, he kept telling me that he loved me, and how he was sorry. How can I trust him?”

         “You don’t have to explain yourself, Areum,” he walks over to the cabinet of drinks. “I don’t need to understand why you did what you did. You make your decision, and now you want to have some thing erased. I can help you with that.”

         “This is the one and only time that I will thank you,” I watch as he mixes some liquids together.

         “I must say, there are some side effects with this method.”

         “You’re talking about nightmares, right?”

         He glances back at me, “That’s right. Have you been having a lot of nightmares recently?”

         “Far and few between,” I shrug, lying through my teeth.

         There are some things that you can know, asshole, and there are other things that I will keep to myself. My nightmares are what made me doubt you. They are what led me to wanting to figure out the truth. You will never know the demons that used to plague me at night. Never.

         “Here, drink this,” he hands me a glass with a red liquid in it. “That will repress the memories that you talked about, but leave enough that you remember what has happened to you in vague detail.”

         I take the glass from his hand, tossing it back so it never hits my tongue. “I still don’t like you.”

         “I didn’t think you would,” he chuckles.

         I watch as the drug takes its hold on younger Areum. My body twitching as the unwanted memories are locked away in my brain. Only to be released now when the key has finally been handed to me. To show me that all the hurt I have gone through has lead me to be exactly where I need to be.

         The scene flickers out as I watch my other self get up and exit the office. There is a small pep in her step, but I can’t figure out what she could possibly be happy about. Regardless, as at the movies, the lights come back on, and I am thrust back into the real world. Back to where I have to deal with the boy who made me this way.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Holy crap, just like the other flashback chapter, this took a lot out of me. I have made Areum go through so much, and I hate it, but I know that it just makes her a strong badass. She truly is one of my favorites to write for, and I hope that you are enjoying it as well! Thank you so much for reading, and I would love to know what you thought! :D (This is a repost, and I don’t know why this chapter was deleted)

Ask meme for Lyra

1. What would be their favorite Disney (or other animated) movie?

She has a soft spot for Frozen just because it reminds her of snow, but she also really loves Dumbo and Bambi. They’re baby animals who deserve the best and she just wants to protect them.

2. What do they usually like for breakfast?

If she can get her hands on jelly donuts, she absolutely would eat that for breakfast. In her hut, she usually caught a rabbit and cooked it for breakfast as well as any fruits she could find.

3. What sort of cuddler are they?

Before Lyra learns that physical comfort is good, she does not want anyone touching her and chooses to physically isolate herself from everyone. It isn’t until she learns that she is allowed to seek comfort that she becomes the ultimate cuddler and the clingiest girl you’ll ever meet. She’ll hold onto you for dear life whether it’s hand holding, in bed, or even sitting on your lap. She’s trying to make up for lost time of never having comfort.

4. How do they say “I love you”?

It wasn’t until she saw people caring for each other that she learned what love was, so never used ‘I love you’, choosing to show her affection by trying to protect her friends, sometimes by taking the hit herself because she knows that her friends are squishy. Though the term for love really hit her once she started becoming close to Wynnie, thought about it for about a week, saying only about seven sentences total. When someone finally asks her what’s wrong, she turns to Wynnie and says “I think I understand now. I think I love you.”

5. What kind of shoes do they wear?

She wears the boots that was left with her when she was small. They’re a little small for her now as she’s had them since she was five, but they’re sturdy black boots that are perfect for stomping around in the snow.

6. What is their favorite accessory?

If anyone knows Lyra even a little bit, they would know that Lyra does not take off her red cloak for anything, using it both as a way to keep herself hidden, and a security blanket.

7. Are they more inclined towards fashion or comfort?

Up until she sees how fashion can be used to make people feel more comfortable and even as a weapon, she doesn’t understand why people dress in ways that make it hard to run away or fight, and chooses comfort over fashion. But when she learns more about fashion, she’d like to try more fashion forward types of wear.

8. What makes them laugh?

Ezra’s funny hat, the various senseless things that Quy says, and of course whenever Echo does something cute.

9. Do they have a favorite flower?

Any type of carnations, though she tends to like the orange ones the best.

10. Would they be the one to propose to their significant other?

Nope, it already takes her a lot to even say I love you, plus she doesn’t know what proposals are unless she saw someone get married before. However, she would blush cherry red and probably start to cry if Wynnie asked Lyra to be her lifelong companion. Until she realizes that dwarves live about 500 years less than elves do.

11. What bad habits do they have?

Talking to herself, being very jumpy around people touching her, copying mannerisms of people she sees on the street, being way too blunt about things.

12. What are their biggest insecurities?

Anyone thinking she’s stupid just because she’s been out of society for so long, thinking that her new friends just use her for her ability to protect others and secretly and not so secretly mock her and would betray her as soon as she became useless.

13. How do they wear their hair?

She either wears it in a high ponytail or in a braid. You will never find her leaving it down, but you should try to get her to take it down because she looks absolutely adorable with her hair down.

14. Are they an impulse shopper? If so, what would they buy?

Lyra still doesn’t know how money works, but once she did, she would absolutely buy any candy she sees on the shelves. She’d be more careful for nonfun items, but if it’s tasty or fun, she would buy fifteen.

15. When do they usually sleep?

She’ll only sleep after everyone else has gone to sleep just because she’s still not used to sleeping so close to other people and still subconsciously thinks that if she falls asleep before the others do, they’ll either kill her, steal everything and abandon her, or all of the above.

16.What makes them worry?

Thinking that her new friends will betray her, wondering if she’ll ever find her mother, and whether the people after her will catch her and punish her.

17. Do they have any creative outlets?

She likes doodling people she sees around town in her journal, and is actually quite good at it. She’s also pretty good at singing but will never let anyone hear it unless they sneak up on her.

18. How do they comfort an upset loved one?

She’d try to get them to talk about their problems and give them logical solutions that will make them happier and usually will say that if someone made them upset, she will go yell at them.

19. What are they like when they’re sick?

Lyra still tries to continue as normal when she’s sick, because she’s always had to take care of herself even when she’s puking. She’s a bit stubborn because she will try to do as much as she can to keep herself functioning without taking time to rest. Someone will have to reassure Lyra that she can trust others to take care of her when she isn’t able to take care of herself.

20. Do they say what they’re thinking, or keep their thoughts to themselves?

She says her immediate thoughts out loud, but doesn’t like saying her internal thoughts because she’s afraid that people will use it against her. Even after she becomes close to someone, they’d have to really show that she can trust them with her emotions.

21. What is the best gift they’ve ever received?

The one thing she can say that the people she ran away from gave her was the Amulet of Melora, which is a beautiful necklace/cross that is bejeweled and definitely worth a ton of money.

22. Are they good at keeping track of time?

She’s got a pretty good internal alarm clock, given by how long she knew she was alone in her hut. She’d be the responsible one in the group, reminding people that they have somewhere to be when the shadows reach that rock over there.

23. What is their favorite ice cream flavor?

Strawberry, or anything fruity.

24. What would they order from a fast food/take-out place?

From fast food it would be chicken nuggets with sweet and sour sauce and a milkshake, but from a chinese takeout place it would be sweet and sour shrimp, cream cheese wontons, and orange chicken. Pretty much anything that mixes savory and sweet.

25. What is their favorite pizza topping(s)?

She’s a classic babe and only likes it with cheese and pepperoni.

26. What is their favorite type of cookie?

She could scarf down sugar cookies by the dozen, but also really likes chocolate chip cookies.

27. Do they paint their nails?

No, but after looking at Vesper and Quy’s painted nails, she’s interested in trying it. She doesn’t want to say anything because of everyone in their team, them two are usually the ones to make fun of her (besides Kieran), but she likes the look of painted nails.

28. What is their favorite board game?

She thinks Candyland looks super cute (though she’s a little afraid of the licorice man) but she’s also amazing at pretty much any board game you sit in front of her.

29. Are they more of a pants or skirts kind of person?

Pants. You cannot fight in a skirt and you must be prepared to protect yourself at all time.

30. Do they dream often? What about?

She often dreams about home or has nightmares about the people she’s running from finding her and punishing her. She also has strange dreams about a place far underground with two strange looking women following her.

31. Do they have any phobias?

Horses and loud noises. Horses are just because they look fucking weird, but she’s never had to deal with noises as loud as here before and absolutely hates it. She’s also found that that the louder the person is, usually how rude or mean they are correlates to that.

32. If they were a pokemon, which would they be?

The Alolan form of Vulpix. She is definitely an ice fox baby.

33. How well do they handle sea travel? Air travel?

She does not like being in any type of vehicle because she hates when she doesn’t have full control over a situation, but she would suck it up because she doesn’t want to be the one person not going along with something. She just silently hates all forms of travel that is not by foot.

34. Which Disney character are they most like?

I’m stuck between Alice or Rapunzel. On one hand, she’s a sweet baby entering a world she doesn’t understand and has two shithead twins bothering her, but on the other she’s been secluded from everyone for all of her life, has gorgeous hair, and has no idea who her real family is.

35. What sort of parent would they be?

She’d be the mom that lets her kids express themselves however they want to as long as they know how to defend themselves and are safe. She would always be attentive because as she will eventually learn, that being a neglectful parent is not something that should be the norm.

IDEAS AND NOTES 2

IDEA 2 - Story told through a Deer’s innocent perspective. Witnessing a change  in its world due to the pandemic.

SYNOPSIS - 

This short story is going to be told through 2 characters; a Parent Deer and a child Deer residing at Richmond Park (location chosen because I live near there, easy access for own source videos/ photos). Richmond park is a safe haven for these animals covering acres of land and is protected. One day the baby deer wanders off too far off from its parent, discovering litter scattered all over the floor as he gets closer towards the outskirts of the park. In the distance, he sees a child picking up a single rubbish and throws it in a bin, and runs back to its parents. 

The baby deer is intrigued at what he saw. And after a while with no sight of other humans around, the baby dear picks up the remaining rubbish on the floor and puts them in the bin. 

The parent dear finds it’s child and sees it in the act. 

Characters itself Influenced by Bambi.

[magnoliawhetstone]

♛ - gimme dat fluff

there is no trigger warning, its just long because I CANNOT SHUT UP

Who’s more likely to find who wearing their clothes?: Lia already wears his clothes now (just....secretly), so 100% Jack finding Lia

Who enunciates hand holding?: Mm, both. I imagine they do it mindlessly, without thinking about it they reach for the other’s

Who likes having their hair washed by who?: Jack and Lia loves doing it. She could play with his hair for hours, taking great care to make sure the curls to stick together. 

Who likes to slow dance?: Lia, but I think they both don’t mind, especially if its in the kitchen or something. 

Muse that’s more likely to fall asleep with their head in the others lap?: Jack--they’d be watching a movie or something and she’d be playing with his hair. 

Muse that does all the cuddling in a blanket fort?: Jack, but Lia doesn’t not participate. 

Who hogs most of the covers at night?: Lia, she’s the worst at that, sorry

Muse who nuzzles the others shoulder to get them to give them a head rub?: Jack but again, she doesn’t mind--She plays with his hair often, absentmindedly as just a thing she does.

How do they share a desert? Two forks or one?: One fork, are you kidding--less dishes that way. Though I do think Lia always grabs two forks just in case. 

Who gets jealous more easily?: Oh, I don’t know--maybe both, but in their own way. I mean I know I can speak for Lia in which she gets jealous easily, but she does her very best to keep it controlled. But she definitely can get a little...green eyed. 

Who gets angered more easily?: Jack, but again I think that its the manner inw which they show it. Lia’s never been particularly vocal with her frustrations because of how she grew up so she does get angry, but it looks different. Though she can go toe-to-toe in a fight, don’t underestimate her. 

How do they go to sleep at night?: Ok, so the room is definitely cold. Both of them like to sleep under blankets (even if Lia hogs them--once again, she is sorry). Lia is also a snuggler so she’s probably right next to him, though I think it would depend on night on whether she had fallen asleep on his chest or not. Every so often, they’d adjust and by the morning they’d be in a different position altogether. 

Who gets the most shoulder rubs?: Jack, maybe? Lia would just silently come up behind him when he’s working on a project and rub his shoulders so help him relax. Though I could also see the flipside too. I’m not doing a great job at just picking one person, I’m so sorry. 

What are there arguments/fights like? How often do they fight?: They shout, Jack probably curses and Lia no doubt glares at him for it--but she definitely does not bring up the swear jar in a fight. Maybe after depending on how it ends but she knows better than to do that during the heat of the moment. Lia lets her filter down a lot more in general around Jack so it’s much more likely she’ll yell right back at him to match his tone. I don’t think they fight fight often, but they are not the same person so they’re bound to disagree on some things. 

Who is more likely to throw things in fights?: Neither. I don’t think either would throw anything. Except maybe Lia throwing her hands in the air because he is (and I quote) “unbelievable sometimes”. 

How do they make it up to each other/apologize after an argument?: Lia loves to write him little notes, so I think that’d be her go to. Also, she’d say sorry. And we cannot forget the ultimate way to make it up to each other: Blue Slushees.

Do they have nicknames for each other?: The usual culprits--babe, darling, sweetheart but also Jack doesn’t call Magnolia Lia unless he’s being serious about something and he is the only person Lia allows to call her Mags without correcting. Lia has also taken to calling him Mr. Whetstone on occasion and she’d always called him cowboy when the moment works just right. Jack’s called her flower and bambi before too. 

Caring for each other while ill, how does the other muse go about it?: I don’t think I fully understand what this questions is asking BUT I can say that Lia would make soup--or whatever comfort food Jack wants--and tea and she’d bring it to him in bed. She’d also bug him to take medicine or Nyquil or whatever he needed to and probably tell him to stay home. 

Who’s more likely to be patching the others wound?: I--I think Lia but that’s simply because Jack has hobbies that have him use his hands more often than hers, like fixing cars and stuff. But wounds is so serious, I hope they never have wounds. 

Muse that says ‘I told you so’, after they come home from the beach and other muse is burnt to a crisp while whining how bad it hurts for not listening and putting on sunblock after the other muse repeatedly told them they’d get burnt?: MAGNOLIA FREAKING BARNES. This one I know, hands down without a doubt. But she’d also help him rub aloe on his burns as well, so she’s not completely evil. 

Your otp has a newborn baby, who gets up in the middle of the night when he/she cries?: I think they both would--but I feel like Lia might get up slightly quicker, because shes a light sleeper. I also think Lia is going to have the hardest time letting the baby cry when its time to teach about self-soothing.

Your muse’s of the otp reaction to finding the others crying about something? And how do they make them feel better?: Lia would sit silently next to Jack, probably holding his hand. She’d rub small circles on his hand or back and let him just cry or be sad or whatever he needs and only after he’s let it out will she ask him if he wants to talk about it. But she will push--appropriately--because she wants to help. She’ll also probably leave little notes and things he likes around his office for him to find. She does it anyway but she ups the ante when she knows he’s struggling. And she’d put on Hamilton, play some Macklemore--she’d even take a sorting hat quiz to figure out her house if she knew it’d make him happy. But mostly she’d just listen and let him get it out. 

What would they be like as parents?: Ooooh, this question. I think it terrifies Lia to be a mom, because she’s so worried she’ll end up just like her own. But she does love children and she’s always wanted to be a mom, so I also know she’s gonna be so good at it. She indulges her kiddos imaginations and definitely sits with them as they talk to the farm animals about their days (yes, they live on a farm and its wonderful). I think Jack is the sillier of the two of them, plays a lot with the kids and teaches them about healthy competition and stuff like that. I feel like they are a good team together, and they are in sync with each other enough to know how the other would react if the kids asked a question or brought up a topic. Lia is very protective of her children though, big Mama Bear energy. 

What would they have been like as childhood sweethearts?: Well, funny you should ask. They were cuties, but it looked more like best friends at the time. Which, frankly, makes a lot of sense for children. Lia spent hours over at Jack’s house, learning to cook from his momma and just growing up around his family. Jack came over to her house too, but Lia was always so nervous because she never knew what mood Momma was going to be in, so she tried to have them hang outside as much as possible. They used to ride horses together, hang out by the old oak tree by the river and leave notes for each other inside of it, like a secret mailbox. They’d distract each other in Church all the time (and frankly, it surprised them how they never got separated very often) and would run to the ice cream shop after it to avoid social hour. Blue Slushees were a big part of their childhood together too--and it was always assumed they went to school dances together. They also had the weirdest arguments, sometimes about things as pointless as “Is Goofy a Cow?”. They were pretty cute, not going to lie.

Who initiates taking a bath together?: Jack--but if Lia can tell he’s had a really hard day, she’s not above suggesting it. 

Who likes who playing with their hair?: Lia loves playing with Jack’s hair--its a very calming thing for her. 

The place they mostly likely accidentally fall asleep together?: The couch, after watching some movie or tv show together, probably. Although, perhaps, once this farm dream comes true--also maybe in the field like they used to when they were younger.

Essay Preparation

Question: Make a Proppin analysis of an animated fairy tale, and discuss animation’s particular suitability for telling fantastical tales.

Focus: Make a Proppin analysis of an animated fairy tale

In this question the reference to a ‘Proppin analysis’ refers to Vladimir Propp, a folklorist and scholar who took part in classifying what a fairy tale is. Most notably, his book Morphology of the tale, published in Leningrad in 1928.

Whilst waiting for a timetabled session on this topic, in order to better understand what a ‘Proppin analysis’ would entail, I took a look at several summaries online. 

“Morphology of the Folktale is the author's attempt to decompose fairy tales into their most basic components – a series of functions strung together in a particular predetermined order. While some tales may skip certain functions, the order (almost) always remains the same”

“At the start of the book, Propp outlines why he feels the need to break fairy tales into components: all the current classification structures are inadequate, arbitrary, or overlap. They rely on themes or motifs but fail to define them thoroughly. The author claims we need to understand these tales at this abstract, formal, grammar level if we wish to start comparing tales across cultures."  Quoted from here

The source for these quotes also involved a reference to another summary of this book which outlined a lot more information - HypocriteReader

Looking through the 31 ‘functions’ of a fairy-tale, I looked to find which would relate best to Bambi. To do this, I re watched the film and noted down any points of plot, despite their magnitude: 

Bambi Animated Disney Movie

1 “A member of a family leaves home (the hero is introduced)”: Bambi is born, leaves the home to make friends, learn how to walk etc. 

2 “An interdiction is addressed to the hero (‘don’t go there’, ‘go to this place’”: Bambi is told about how dangerous the meadow is, and is warned of it’s danger. Hunters appear but they escape. Bambi is now aware of the humans and how they tend to appear at the meadow most. 

3 “The interdiction is violated (villain enters the tale);”: Bambi and his mother visit the meadow once more to find food, and are chased by hunters. 

8 “Villain causes harm/injury to the hero’s family member”: Bambi’s mother is shot and killed. 

9 “Misfortune or lack is made known”: Bambi makes it home but his mother does not. He is then told by his father that he can no longer be with her. 

10 & 11 “Seeker agrees to, or decides upon counter-action & Hero leaves home”: Bambi leaves with his father, leaving his past home behind. 

25 “Difficult task proposed to the hero (trial by ordeal, riddles, test of strength/endurance, other tasks)”: Man returns and the forest is set on fire, the forest evacuates. 

26 “Task is resolved”: After the fire passes and the humans leave, the animals come back to a regrowing forest.  

27  “Hero is recognized (by mark, brand, or thing given to him/her)”: Recognized by owl character from the beginning. 

29 “ Hero is given a new appearance (is made whole, handsome, new garments etc)”: After time passes we see Bambi has grown up, raised by his father and now resembling him. 

31  “Hero marries and ascends the throne (is rewarded/promoted)”: Bambi gets the girl and has a baby, also ‘ascends the throne’ by taking over for his dad. 

The animated film does seem to follow what Proppin outlined as a fairy-tale, but not very strictly. The villain in Bambi - a big part of Proppin’s 31 functions - isn’t something that can be fought by the characters, and therefore a large section between functions 11 and 25 aren’t filled. 

This same summarizing source also states some roles that can be found in Proppin’s classification of fairy-tales. A lot of them are centered around a ‘quest’ which is something that Bambi doesn’t clearly have. 

The villain: struggles against the hero

The dispatcher: character who makes the lack known and sends the hero off.

The (magical) helper: helps the hero in the quest.

The princess or prize: the hero deserves her throughout the story but is unable to marry her because of an unfair evil, usually because of the villain. The hero's journey is often ended when he marries the princess, thereby beating the villain.

Her father: gives the task to the hero, identifies the false hero, marries the hero, often sought for during the narrative. Propp noted that functionally, the princess and the father cannot be clearly distinguished.

The donor: prepares the hero or gives the hero some magical object.

The hero or victim/seeker hero: reacts to the donor, weds the princess.

False hero: takes credit for the hero’s actions or tries to marry the princess.

Original Source: Bambi, a life in the woods

During a group tutorial I had the chance to discuss my idea to analyse the Disney animated movie “Bambi”, based on it’s original source, a book. Whilst Bambi is not seen as much of a fairy-tale, it creates a fantasy world that is supposed to be aimed at children. 

The movie and the book are quite similar in stories, although a lot is left out in the time where Bambi is growing up (this portion of his life is represented in Bambi 2 in 2006). The original tale also shows a bit more of the ‘villain’ of the story, the humans, and how they are overcome in a way - Bambi’s father shows him how humans are not invincible and can be deceived / beaten. This closer represents Proppin’s interpretation of a fairy-tale. 

“Discuss animation’s particular suitability for telling fantastical tales”

Notes:

Parts of the movie have very visual representations of how a character is feeling and thinking, a couple of scenes being very exaggerated and stylized (e.g. Bambi meeting Faline and ‘walking on clouds’).

A fairy-tale is used for telling moral stories to children. The medium of animation allows for more appealing character designs (designed to be cute and childlike), more expressive characters and chances for comedic actions, things that wouldn’t be possible to do with real life animal characters (e.g. Thumper ‘thumping’ his foot on the ground as a character quirk).

In this tutorial I was introduced to the idea of “hyper-realism”, something that has supposedly been talked about a lot in reference to Bambi. This movie took very cartoony characters and quite a whimsical world and places them into a story that has very realistic, human related problems (i.e. having the enemy be humans hunting animals).

i listed pretty much every movie from the disney animated canon that hasnt gotten a live action remake yet and talked abt why it should or should not get one, check it out under the cut

snow white: ehhhh? i know some people think this one hasn’t aged very well, but imo i think it’s perfectly fine as is and i dont know what a remake would achieve

pinocchio: it has 100% on rotten tomatoes, what exactly can you do to add to this movie?

fantasia: this one cannot exist within the realm of live action. leave it olone

dumbo: not sure? but tim burton is apparently making one so we’ll see how that’ll turn out

bambi: this sounds weird but i’d kinda like to see one? it has a lot of nice artistry in the scenery that i think would look amazing in live action

any package film: ehh? i’m not even sure if this format even works in live action, and what would it even achieve

peter pan: yeah, this movie kind of needs some fixing. in the right hands, it would be really nice

lady and the tramp: i know the original is amazing but i think a remake would be really cute if done right. however, there are movies more deserving of being remade

the sword in the stone: see peter pan

the aristocats: like lady and the tramp but this remake would be more warranted

robin hood: yeah, if only so we can have a version that isn’t a frankenstein’s monster of reused animation

the rescuers: this is a kinda forgettable movie, so a remake would make sense. however, id think of that remake as just a warm up for a remake of down under

the fox and the hound: i’m not sure honestly. there isn’t a lot wrong with this movie and it’s fondly remembered despite being made during the dark age. so probably not

the black cauldron: if there was any disney movie that had significant flaws without being an irredeemable piece of shit, it’s this one. and there’s apparently a live action remake in the works! good

the great mouse detective: i have mixed feelings, i think this movie is good enough on its own. but if they’re gonna remake every other musker & clemens movie, they might as well remake this one

oliver and company: see the aristocats

the little mermaid: it’s a disney renaissance movie. you can’t improve on it

the rescuers down under: if there’s a renaissance era movie that warrants a remake, it’s this one. not because it’s flawed, but because it’s awesome and nobody remembers it

aladdin: see the little mermaid

the lion king: see the little mermaid

pocahontas: i’m iffy on this one. it is pretty flawed, but i think it’d be really easy for a remake to fuck it up even more

the hunchback of notre dame: see pocahontas

hercules: this movie could be improved on a lot since it’s essentially “Please Let Us Make Treasure Planet” stretched out to feature length. in the right hands, a remake would be nice

mulan: see the little mermaid

tarzan: whatever, do it as long as phil collins fucks off. okay he won’t... nevermind

fantasia 2000: see fantasia

dinosaur: isn’t this movie its own live action remake?

the emperor’s new groove: this is an awesome movie and everybody knows it’s awesome. a remake is not needed

atlantis: this movie could improved on a lot, and the stunning animation in this movie can carry over to great looking visuals. id say go for it

lilo & stitch: see the emperor’s new groove

treasure planet: this is massive bias from my side but hear me out. nobody gives a shit about harry potter anymore. jk rowling is now a laughing stock more than anything. nobody cares about the supplementary material she puts out. this is the perfect opportunity to remake treasure planet and not have it murdered in the box office. just do it. make your dreams come true

brother bear: see tarzan

home on the range: no

chicken little: NO

meet the robinsons: since everybody forgets about this one, i guess a remake to bring it back into people’s memories wouldn’t hurt as long as it’s done well

any later movies are way too recent to get remade

At some point during this stroll, a man asked for a selfie with the Biebz, and in that photo, Justin is clearly seen wearing a ring on his wedding band finger. You know when people get engaged, and they hold their hand up in almost every photo just so we can all for sure see their engagement ring? Justin was making that kind of pose in the picture. So, that man then tweeted out the photo and captioned it “did justin bieber and hailey baldwin get married? i cannot be the only one that notices that justin never wears jewelry and he’s got a ring on his left ring finger?!?!” Naturally, this post made fans absolutely lose their mind.
