I’m so glad you decided to make your blog so we can see all of your absolutely awesome characters and I absolutely had to make something for the girls!

[winglessfairyy]

tag yourself as motivos que as minhas chars fadas foram expulsas/exiladas. 

rani: foi exilada depois de perder as asas tentando fazer o BEM pela nação!!! (ela perdeu as asas porque as trocou por pó de fada com o rumpel, voltou pra neverland e a rainha clarion só deu ban... e o michael darling tentou avisar!!!)

fada azul: se sentia muito desvalorizada pelos seus talentos (que incluíam ser gostosa d+) então decretou a própria expulsão e foi embora fazer a vida dela sozinha. 

fawn: fez uma piada que a rainha clarion não gostou... #ban.

sugar plum: simplesmente surtada porque levou um pé na bunda, exilou a própria amiga (mãe ginger) e depois foi desmascarada como a grande megera que é. exilada de nutcracker.

Act 2 scene 3

Inside the marzipan palace was a wonder of confectionery sculpture and finery, so much so that Souji’s eyes refused to blink.  How was he supposed to take it all in?? It was all so much!! 

“Don't worry, it’s not going to disappear,” the prince whispered with a chuckle.  Indeed the other was going to turn his head all the way around.  Souji turned to the other with a blushing out, and the prince laughed, turning the head of the fairy queen and her companion.  Nothing was said, just a shared look between them.

In the grand chamber, the candies were all there, looking human but clearly representing different treats.  They all seemed to gape at the prince and Souji, and so it was the only thing that kept Souji from doing the same, looking down with a bright blush.  “They’re… all staring…”

“Can you blame them? You’re so pretty they can’t help themselves…”

Souji looked up and shook his head. “N-no it’s because…. Because you’ve changed and you turned so…. So handsome…”  He looked down after saying it, scratching his cheek.   The prince just looked at him with a gin, squeezing his hand gently as they were led up stairs to two ornate chairs.  At the queen’s insistence, they sat there, and the reina turned to the crowd with a wide smile.

  “My friends, our beloved knight has returned to us, freed of the curse that made him wooden, and alongside him, the person responsible for breaking the spell!!”

They all cheered and applauded, Souji unused to the attention, but the prince smiled, nodding his head at them all.  It started small, but soon they all were demanding to know what happened, the queen looking back at the prince with a grin..  

He nodded, and pressing a kiss to Souji’s hand, he stood from his chair, grasping his sword.  “Our dear damsel was caught by the fearsome Rat King, ready to take him as a pet when I came to the scene… With a small troupe, we descended upon the fiends!!” He jumped then, flying down the stairs with his sword drawn, much to the delight of the crowd.  “We were evenly matched, the rats scattering from the soldiers, but the king was not so easily frightened… I was nursing a hurt arm, fighting tooth and nail… things were looking grim… I was certain that the end was near for me…”

“And what happened?”

“Yeah how did you survive??”

“Did a fairy intervene?  Was there a magic spell?”

He laughed, shaking his head as the candies asked their questions.  “LIke a clarion bell, my savior cried,'' Leave him alone!!” And threw… of all things, a shoe at the Rat king!! He was stunned!! How dare a human throw a shoe at him! But it was all I need to make my move!”  He thrust the air, and held his blade high to everyone’s cheering.  “I came to save him, and he saved me in turn… and because of that, his kindness has set me free…”

He walked up the stairs then, racing out for the other, and Souji flushed, unsure if he really wanted to take that hand… to be back in the spotlight.  Still, the prince’s expression was so kind and soothing…

 He was up before he knew it, taking the other’s hand, being led down the stairs to the floor. The candies started asking questions.  Wasn’t he scared?  Why did he do it… “I… don’t know.  I wasn’t scared, I didn’t have time to think about it.  I… I was scared before, before the prince came to save me, but… when I saw he may lose, when I saw him falling aback… all I could think was… I didn’t want him to die… I didn’t want him to get hurt.  I just… wanted to keep him safe…”  He said softly, looking away from the prince.  What was this? His heart was pounding?  What was happening?

The prince smiled, pressing a kiss to his hand once again, and bowing.  “In the land of sweets, celebrations are done by dancing.  I know them, and they will ask us to dance, as we are the guests, it is our duty to start the festivities… So would you please?”

Souji’s eyes went wide, looking around, but then, he just looked at his feet.  He was… so nervous all of a sudden.  He was… dancing in his room, dancing with his nutcracker in fit of joy while they were at the party, smaller things, that was fine, but this was the first time he was dancing for such a large audience…even if this was what the schools would be preparing him for… this was… this was too much!!

“Souji, look at me…”  Hands cupped his face, bringing his gaze up to the prince.  “You will be fine.  I’ve seen no one dance as beautifully as you, not even the snow fairies we met, not even the Sugarplum queen herself… please… dance with me.”

“..o-okay…”

THOMAS PAINE'S AMERICAN CRISIS

I believe we live in crisis times. such being the case, today is the time to recall anther American crisis.

It was the winter of 1776. American troops were demoralized. They had recently suffered humiliating defeats. Washington feared his troops would go home and not return. The war would be over.

Thomas Paine was a concerned individual. His Common Sense publication had been a clarion call that began the Revolutionary War.

He wrote then: “These are times that try men’s souls…..Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered.”

The preceding lines from Common Sense might be applicable today. However, such is not the thrust of what I write.

Paine felt another incendiary publication was required. One that hopefully would rouse the colonial troops to remain and fight.

He wrote “American Crisis.”

American Crisis met the challenge. His words a rallying cry.

Washington had American Crisis read to the troops. His dispirited men.

Paine’s rousing prose had its intended effect. Washington’s beleaguered troops mustered their remaining hopes for victory, crossed the Delaware, and defeated Hessian troops on Christmas night.

On January 2, the same troops defeated Britain’s foremost general Cornwallis in another battle.

The American Revolution was on its way!

Popeyes opened a fast food operation in Key West a few days ago. I have been trying to stop in and try the chicken. It has been 20 years or better since I have enjoyed Popeyes.

Problem is the new place is always crowded. Morning, noon and night. Parking lot full. Window service lined with cars backed up into the Boulevard.

It will be next week sometime before I will get the opportunity to try the new Popeyes.

The Nutcracker Suite an American tradition. Key West always does it its own way. There is the fish Nutcracker presented every 2 years. Outstanding!

A new Key West Nutcracker this year. A burlesque one. Sugar Rum Cherry: A Burlesque Nutcracker. A naughty holiday 2 act reverie.

The show opens tonight and runs through sunday at the Key West Theater.

A Key West hero who will be remembered forever is Mel Fisher. Now dead, he had an interesting career. Difficult at first, then success beyond anyone’s contemplation except his.

Fisher spent 15 years searching for the sunken Spanish galleon Atocha. Its treasure worth millions. Not easy. Fisher did not always have enough money. But he somehow came up with it whenever necessary.

While searching, he had to fight lawsuits and weather. He finally discovered the Atocha mother lode in 1985. $400 million in gold, emeralds and other special artifacts.

In 1986, a made for television drama film premiered. Mel Fisher’s success story. Dreams of Gold: The Mel Fisher Story. Starred Cliff Robertson.

I never met Fisher. Before my time. I have met Cliff Robertson, however. He returned to Key West several times thereafter. A good looking personable chap. Once spent an enjoyable evening in his company.

Fort Zachary Taylor having a special holiday celebration. Actually, 2 holidays.

Tomorrow and saturday there will be a presentation at the Fort demonstrating how Civil War soldiers celebrated Christmas and Hanukkah. Only 1 hour per day. From noon to 1 pm.

Watched Syracuse play Oakland last night. Syracuse won 74-62. Not a great game. However Syracuse won and that is the important thing.

I felt ashamed as I watched the game.

The Carrier Dome looked empty. Only 16,000 spectators. Less than half the Dome’s capacity.

Oakland made it a game. Behind by only 1 or 2 points several times.

With 6 minutes to go, Syracuse scored a 3 pointer and was 5 points ahead. The crowd had been quiet up to this point. Boeheim is aware how spectator participation can move a team to play better.

Boeheim turned to the crowd and raised his arms as if to say let’s start yelling and screaming. Let’s get into it!

The response close to muted.

An insult to Boeheim. An insult to the team.

Concededly Syracuse is having perhaps its worst season ever thus far. Things are that bad! Boeheim looking to the crowd for support an indication of such.

Boeheim said after the game,  “It’s sad, it’s sickening really, to see that we can’t get some help.”

Why did I feel guilty? Because I have been down on Syracuse this season. Down on a team that has provided me so much pleasure and joy over the years.

No more.

Go ‘Cuse!

The House impeached Trump yesterday. From my perspective, deservedly so.

Each House member got to speak. Some Republican comments were disgusting. One Republican compared Trump’s impeachment to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Another to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

One even called for a standing 60 seconds of silence to recognize the sadness of Trump’s impeachment. The Republicans all stood for the 60 seconds.

The crucifixion and Pearl Harbor inappropriate comparisons.

Trump was at a rally in Battle Creek, Michigan last night.

Trump does not know how to let the sleeping dead lie. He also seems to enjoy knocking American heroes.

Recall his words re John McCain. Trump did not consider him a true hero because he was captured. A capture that resulted in his spending almost 6 years in a Vietnamese prison. Severely tortured most of the time.

This year, Democratic Congressman John Dingell died. From Michigan. A tough representative. Highly respected.

His wife has replaced him in Congress.

Yesterday, Debbie Dingell voted 2 times to impeach Trump. Last night Trump made fun of her and her dead husband at the rally.

Trump made a big deal how he did everything for Debbie when her husband died. He had the flag lowered to half mast.

He inferred John Dingell was in hell. He said, “Maybe he’s looking up. I don’t know.”

Respectfully, the President is a scum bag. He lacks humanity. He lacks empathy.

On this day in 1941, Hitler took command of the German Army. He made himself Commander in Chief. His motivation being that the German invasion of Russia was a disaster.

Could it happen in the U.S.? A civilian President appointing/anointing himself Commander in Chief of the Military? Before Trump, I would have said no. Now, I wonder.

Enjoy your day!

Firstly love our EAH Nutcracker story ocs being Rebels because of other people not cause they don't like their destiny but second is Clarion always a Rebel or does it take a second before she's like "I can use this to cause problems for Milton"

(Lucinda 🤝 Clarion "my destiny is fine but I'm still a Rebel bc why not" even though Clarion is way more chaotic and mad about it lmao anyway crossovers 👀)

Canon Speaking, she's already a Rebel when the show starts. She didn't start school with the idea of being a Rebel, she actually signed up for Royal courses, but after just one day she went to Baba Yaga to switch to Rebel. She had an argument with Milton bc she saw how he pushed villan kids (maybe she met Raven for the first time here lol) into being evil without even think about their actual will. She decided she would be Milton's most unsufferable enemy from that moment on lmao.

But, special mention to Maya Puckerman, María Alvarado, Clarion Nutcracker and especially the Larissa's gf Ade Kean that don't have exactly this aesthetic but it's very close!
