Disney Cruise Line Expands Fleet with New Ship Designs

Disney Cruise Line is set to build a fourth Wish-class ship, followed by a shift to a new class of three slightly smaller vessels. This expansion aims to access more destinations and align with environmental goals. New Fleet Details Last August, Disney contracted Meyer Werft for four new builds, marking a significant step for the company. The fourth Wish-class ship, boasting 144,000 gross tons…

Best Cruise Line for an Alaskan Cruise for Every Type of Traveler

Taking an Alaskan cruise is on most cruise enthusiasts’ bucket lists, and for good reason. Alaska is one of the most ruggedly beautiful, unspoiled locations I have ever visited. However, due to its remote location and large size, exploring Alaska can be a daunting and expensive feat. This is where cruising can help. You don’t want to just book any cruise, of course. They definitely aren’t all the…

I have to have a chuckle at the Screenrant article posted recently about the Galactic Starcruiser, which totally wasn't about Jenny Nicholson's video honest.

In part, because early in Nicholson's video, she talks about how unnatural it is to have your influencers speak in adcopy and copyright rather than the more colloquial nicknames, and how it makes the people speaking about the product seem very insincere and, well, paid off. Because normal humans don't speak that way, but advertising does.

What's the first two lines in this article?

"As a life-long fan of Star Wars, there was nothing quite as exciting as finding out that I would be working on the immersive Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser experience. Located at the Walt Disney World Resort, the Galactic Starcruiser opened on March 1, 2022, and welcomed passengers to board a two-day, two-night cruise through the stars, during which they could live out their own Star Wars adventure."

No one talks like this naturally. No one writes like this naturally.

This is supposed to be your passioned defense of the place you worked at, the people you worked with, and the memories you made along the way. C'mon! Why don't you open with a story, perhaps an anecdote about the best moment you had working there, or the devastation of the day you lost your dream job. We need to feel your humanity! But there's nothing of that here, to the point where you can just hear the TM behind Galactic Starcruiser.

The first half of this article continues in this vein, reading like a press release Disney marketing put out, just with past tense rather than present or future tense:

"Essentially, the Starcruiser experience was a 48-hour movie that passengers were actually a part of. It was all facilitated through the "datapad," which was accessed through the Play Disney Parks app."

"To facilitate the overarching immersive experience and storytelling, the Starcruiser built a jam-packed itinerary for each and every guest that would consist of a variety of important activities: the captain's toast at muster, a bridge training exercise, lightsaber training, and more. These types of events were essential to understanding what was happening, as they would give passengers the chance to interact with characters and build their story. This is why the Starcruiser could never be just a hotel; every part of it was designed for enthusiastic interaction."

Like, c'mon. I used to work in television. I've seen and used adcopy in my former job, and this is some serious adcopy. It honestly wouldn't shock me if the author dredged up some old adcopy they had lying around about the topic and just transferred it over, changing the tense. You're not here to sell us this product, because there is no product to sell. It's gone, it's been gone for a year, you don't have to sell us on IT. Speak about your experiences.

The next part is yet another topic that Jenny Nicholson pointed out, the bad faith excuses that influencers and advertisers made for the extreme price point:

"What many people don't know, however, is that the price included much more than just a room. The passengers' food, park tickets, recreation activities on board, non-alcoholic drinks, and more were all included - with merchandise being one of the few additional costs on board."

Which is absolute bad faith reasoning, especially when there are plenty of other vacation options that are ALSO all-inclusive, but are MUCH cheaper and offer MORE amenities than the Galactic Starcruiser did! Including Disney Cruises, owned by the same company! Seriously, you can go on a halfway decent sounding cruise or all-inclusive resort somewhere warm for, like, a week or two and spend far less than GSC cost.

Then the last part is essentially: "All the workers liked working there and the bad reviews afterwards make the workers who worked on it feel sad. :("

Which, like, companies have been hiding behind that reasoning for ages. Curiously, the author never offers....any reasons or stories. WHY did working on it impact you so much? What set it apart, what were the people like, what did you like about working there, why are you so passionate about it even a year later? There's nothing, just a generic sort of "We worked hard." and "We're sad it's gone." Why? How? What happened? The video you're obviously writing this in response to is filled with personal anecdotes and stories, it's the backbone of the video! Again, you need to give us something to show your humanity!

Especially when you consider that Nicholson repeatedly points out that the only highlight about her experience, the only thing that kept the damn thing going was the workers.

She had nothing but praise for them, and nothing but contempt for the higher ups who wasted and abused that enthusiasm, to the point where one of her last points was "Hey, Disney is basically exploiting labor."

Much like Jenny, I'm also not condemning anyone who had a good time working there. Good! If you were having a good time at work, that's great. If you have good memories about the people, awesome. But I'll note two things:

a) That doesn't meant you weren't being exploited, and

b) That doesn't mean you have to be a useful idiot for the corporation you worked for afterwards.

I'm not conspiracy brained enough to go "Oh, Disney TOTALLY forced this article into being.", because a cursory examination of the author's prior works and such suggests a lifelong passion for Star Wars, she did work at the hotel, and she's a Star Wars Editor (whatever THAT means in this day and age) for Screen Rant. Apparently one of the heads of Screen Rant says that Disney had no hand in it either.

Though, I can see why people would think that way. It READS like a press release, not something a normal human being would write about an experience they feel passionate about.

Team Tadpole: Modern AU Disney World Edition

A friend and I started riffing on what would happen if Team Tadpole went to Disney World.

Halsin 100% has a different ear headband for every day of the trip

Astarion tries to pretend he's too cool for everything, but is in fact loving it and gets a little emotional when they go for lunch at Be Our Guest

Minthara is just wondering how in the hell she was talked into this for the first half of the trip but betrays her growing enthusiasm by screaming gleefully on Tron.

Wyll gets blushy and nervous at all the princess meet-and-greets (Astarion does not let him live this down)

They go to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Lae'zel spends the entire time repeatedly riding Space Mountain because it's the one time it's 100% dark and as intense as Disney gets (she whines about going to Universal where they have "real rollercoasters")

Eating around the world: Gale, Halsin Drinking around the world: Astarion, Shadowheart, Karlach

Halsin laughs at all the dad jokes on the Jungle Cruise, Minthara seethes quietly, Astarion mumbles about whether he'd get banned from the park for jumping overboard

Karlach nearly gets the Mad Tea Party ride shut down for decontamination by spinning her teacup so hard the other occupants nearly lose their lunch

Minsc ties helium balloons to Boo until he floats. Otherwise he's carrying stuffies and huge amounts of food ("Gale, my foodie friend! Cheeseburger spring rolls; we must try these!")

Gale organizes the itinerary around dinner reservations (he's still a little sad everyone was like "HELL NO, GALE" when he floated the idea of doing the $425-per-person Chef's Table dinner at Victoria and Albert's)

"Which one would just run off and start causing chaos?" "Oh, Karlach. 100%. Well-meaning chaos, but chaos nonetheless."

Smuggler's Run positions: Pilot: Lae'zel, Shadowheart, Minthara (fistfight narrowly avoided by Jaheira splitting them into two groups) Gunner: Karlach, Wyll, Astarion Engineer: Gale, Halsin, Minsc

After the first 30 seconds of hearing the song on "Journey into Imagination" Astarion, Minthara and Lae'zel start discussing how they would like to kill Figment and settle on disembowelment (we will not discuss how "It's a Small World" goes)

Astarion and Shadowheart are Big Mad that the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is for children only, because they are pretty pretty princesses. Karlach is sad for the same reason but manages to badger everyone (except Minthara) into getting pixie dusted, meaning they're all finding glitter on their clothing (and elsewhere) for weeks.

Halsin makes everyone take the train to Rafiki's Planet Watch just so he can pet the goats

Crying at "Happily Ever After" fireworks: Astarion, Karlach, Minsc Cuddling their crying partner: Halsin, Wyll, Gale Using the fireworks to ride the rides with no lineup: Lae'zel, Jaheira, Shadowheart, Minthara

Most likely to have watched every All Ears/Mammoth Club/Disney Food Blog guide: Gale, Lae'zel

Mostly likely do have done a reasonable amount of research and preparation: Wyll, Minthara, Jaheira, Shadowheart, Halsin

Least likely to have looked at anything that has the faintest whiff of planning prior to the trip, including the weather forecast: Astarion (therefore also most likely to have to spend $$$ for a spirit jersey because he didn't pack warm enough clothing.)

Most likely to figure out on the first day how to game Genie+ and makes it their life's work to get the most lightning lanes possible and the earliest Guardians of the Galaxy/Tron virtual queue boarding group: Lae'zel and Minthara

Halsin seriously suggests staying on a tent/RV campsite at Fort Wilderness; Astarion votes for concierge-level Grand Floridian

Person who always asks to squeeze in one more ride on Pirates of the Caribbean: Wyll Person who somehow always gets wettest on Pirates of the Caribbean: Gale or Astarion

Glinda/Wicked attraction and meet and greet in Universal studios

After Epic Universe Universal theme parks has even more appeal to a lot of demographics except one. The fans of tradicional Disney princesses looking for something like that.

However with Wicked they have Glinda a stereotypical girly magic singing "princess" type character in a pink ballgown, with a crown and wand.

Ariana Grande as Glinda photo: marketing Universal

I believe after Epic Universe opens Universal should reform the Universal Studios park and a Glinda/Wicked attraction and meet and greet is a perfect addition in my option that will give something to that audience that right now only have disney to look for

Of course Elphaba also could be in the attraction and meet and greet and I think she should she will have her own public that may overlap with Glinda's or not

But in this post I highlight Glinda's role in a new attraction to compete with Disney and appeal to the fans of more tradicional disney princesses.

They could create a Wicked mini land in universal studios where the attraction, the meet and greets, a show and maybe street entertainement could be. Below there are photos from Universal Singapore wicked mini land that could serve as inspiration and proof of concept.

Photos and information from universal singapore took from https://www.littledayout.com/a-universal-christmas-universal-studios-singapore/

I think a tradicional Dark ride with a low height requirement that all ages can enjoy is a good choice. Maybe a boat ride and we have a boat similar to the ones that bring students to the university in wicked part 1

It could be a journey for Oz where we see Glinda, Elphaba and the Wizard maybe taking the same following the same itinerary of Dorothy in the classic movie but of course in the Wicked world counterpart and being capable of seeing the players(Glinda, wizard and elphaba) anxious reactions to our journey and the consequences of it and maybe having flashbacks. The ride would have a lot of animatronics( the main ones more detailed but also a lot of less animated ones to crowd the world when needed like crowd scenes and creatures) but this part of us seeing these three characters that are elsewhere i though about doing it with projections like if it was a 2 way mirror without them knowing they were spying and talking about us but we also can see them.

I hope if Universal decides to do that they took the same amount of care and detail as their best projects so they give it enough budget to really be something wow Wicked has potential to do something really cool, Universal Studios need quality new additions and like i said is something for a demographic they don't have that much to offer to

Hi! 👋 I love the idea of Fluffy Friday!

Here's my request: I recently saw the old pics of when BO went to Disney World. I'd love a fluffy story about Noah and reader spending the day at Disney (or any amusement park tbh, whatever works for you!) 🫶

Hii! Of course <3

He wanted to surprise you with tickets to Disney World.

Maybe it is your guys' anniversary or maybe your birthday even.

You were SO surprised, because you told him a while ago that your childhood dream was to go to Disney World, but unfortunatly, you never got the chance.

AND HE REMEMBERED.

So you prepared as one would.

You bought matching outfits for the both of you.

And Noah did not complain, not even once.

He actually made an itinerary for the 7 days you would be there, so you had time to visit and see everything you wanted.

The first day was Magic Kingdom.

Unfortunately you had to ride the rollercoasters by yourself because this man is terrified of them.

But he hyped you up SO MUCH.

And was there to catch up when you left the ride stumbling around.

You watched the fireworks at Cinderella's Castle.

He kisses you during them and hands his phone to someone to take a picture of the two of you.

You were excited for the rides when you visited Hollywood Studios and you were able to let you inner child run free.

You take SO MANY pictures of Noah wearing his cute Mickey Mouse ears.

You take pictures with all of your favorite characters.

Like imagine a picture of Noah with PLUTO AND MICKEY AND MINNIE.

It was your favorite vacation EVER.

[altocat]

I would love to hear all about your trip to japan Alto!!!! Also I am biting the anon who was rude (NOT with affection. with wrath.)

😭😭😭😭😭 you guyssss

Uhhh we're still setting up the full itinerary but it's basically four to five days in Tokyo, two days for Tokyo Disney (unironically the most affordable version of Disney that currently exists on planet earth) and then two day trip days--Kamakura and Nikko, probably. A loooot of walking. But it's going to be very fun.

[jigglypuff1994]

Okay, so, I'm sorry if this idea has already been put out there, but I love the idea of post Monarch, young LadyNoir going to Disney.

Hear me out.

Chat Noir booked the flights, took care of the hotels and transportation while they're there. And Ladybug is absolutely stunned because like how can he afford to do this? And Chat is just being cheeky like 'tehehe I have my ways'.

Even though Chat and LB were offered a free day at Disney, Chat Noir insists that he should pay to experience just like everyone else, and since he can afford it, he pays for everything. Ladybug doesn't know that he's absolutely loaded so she's just confounded every time he pulls out hundred-dollar bills as if it was something everyone did.

Ladybug would be scrambling constantly to ensure she and Chat do every. possible. activity. Like they rope-dropped at 7am. LB's absolutely losing her mind on Genie+ and has done hundreds of hours of research watching Youtubers and reading every blogger and tips and tricks guide out there to ensure the one day they have together is undeniably picture perfect.

At some point, Chat Noir talks to Ladybug and tells her gently to chill out, she is finally able to relax and realizes how magical the experience is.

Chat Noir proceeds to stuff his face with anything Mickey-shaped: pretzels, ice cream bars, caramel apples, rice crispy treats, everything Mickey shaped. While having no concern for his figure because they're walking a million steps anyways.

Ladybug takes so many pictures and a video when Chat Noir meets his favorite Disney character, Rapunzel. Chat becomes absolutely giddy and beside himself. Him and Rapunzel talk about what it's like to be locked away in a castle and preoccupying themselves with all their indoor activities while dealing with manipulative parent figures, and Ladybug tilts her head for a moment because why does that sound so familiar.

Ladybug is put on edge every time fans want photos with them. She anxiously smiles too wide because she's stressed that her and Chat might not make it from Tomorrowland to Frontierland in 3 minutes time. Chat, who is aware how stressed his lady is, has to nicely remind their fans that they have a scheduled itinerary that Ladybug is absolutely *not* budging on.

Chat suggests that he and LB use the rooftops to get around rather than walking. LB lights up immediately because why didn't she think of that earlier!

Chat insists on taking a selfie with Ladybug in front of the Cinderella castle, and Ladybug sneaks a quick cheek kiss. This is the only cute photo where Chat is stunned and doesn't have his large, toothy smile. That photo ends up being Ladybug's favorite of the hundreds they took together that day because reasons.

To end their day, they sit on top of the Main Street rooftop above Tony's, eating spaghetti and meatballs like Lady and the Tramp because LB will always be 'His Lady', and he rolls the meatball over with his nose to recreate the movie while Ladybug rolls her eyes, gives him a small smile and scratches behind his ears. They cuddle in close while listening to 'When You Wish Upon a Star,' and the view is breathtaking as they watch the fireworks and lightshow on the castle.

Just a cute, magical day at Disney.

in honor of my recent disney trip:

rdr2 walt disney world modern au headcanons

(this accidentally got posted to my lesbian sex account so if you saw that…no you didn’t 🤠🥸)

-dutch is mad that the trip got booked in the first place. he is not a large crowd disney guy. he’s a “i need to sit with my back against the wall and plan our escape route” man. he is very angry that weapons are not allowed. it’s too expensive and he’s mad that they used the camp funds to pay for it.

-hosea is the disney dad. backpack full of snacks, sunscreen, cooling rags, the handheld fans that spray water, the batteries to replace the old ones in the handheld fans. you need tylenol? he’s got it. you’re lost and need to find the way to tomorrowland? he’s got the disney magic experience app up and ready for you. he has the itinerary written out perfectly and everyone has a copy. he has all the routes mapped out and he bought one of those “disneys best kept secrets” books. he used dutch’s credit card

-charles only ever wants to be in animal kingdom. he has the best luck with all of the animals; his calm presence always brings out everyone from their hiding spots. he knows all the fun facts about the animals and all the little kids think he works there, so he answers everyone’s questions. some disney parents want to give him a cast member compliment/shout out on the app but he just shrugs and says he doesn’t work there

-arthur is the head counter. he didn’t really want to go because he thought it was silly, but he is the one who is watching out for everyone. he assigned everyone a number in his head and he’s making sure they are all accounted for. when jack gets tired he throws him up onto his shoulders, and always has a cold water bottle available for any of the girls when they get too hot or thirsty

-john is all for the lightening lanes and scouring the app for the best rides. he forgets to add other people until abigail reminds him, but basically he has been booking himself on the big rides like tron, rockin roller coaster, tower of terror, etc. when he mentioned that he got the rides, arthur asked how many people he got them for and john only said he got a lightening lane for himself. abigail took his phone and john wasn’t allowed to use the app anymore

-javier is enamored with the princesses. he sees them all and isn’t creepy about them, but he thinks they’re all beautiful. jack isn’t interested in meeting the princesses at all so javier just sees them from afar and waves. he did walk by jasmine and he spoke spanish to her and made her swoon a little.

-in all the parks they have cooling stations where it’s just a giant machine that blows out cold misty water to cool down children. bill commandeered it. cast members have kicked him out but he manages to sneak back after shift change

-sean has been making sure that he takes jack to meet all the characters. he says he really wanted jack to meet timone from lion king, but in all honestly he and kieran made a bet to see if sean talked enough smack if timone would punch him in the face or not

-trelawny cries every time at the happily ever after fireworks in magic kingdom. he gets so many emotions and feels overwhelming joy at even the small parades (no i’m not projecting my own feelings onto trelawny rn 🙃)

-gaston flirts with ms grimshaw and it actually makes her blush. dutch feels rage and jealously almost immediately

“oh dutch he’s just playing a character!”

“susan, i don’t like the way he is speaking to you!!”

MANDELA — nine

wc: 832

A long sigh drawled from Kuni’s lips, gifted annoyance coursing his lips as a resting scowl laid.

It's been fifteen minutes, at approximately 7:45 in the morning, and Kuni has not seen a single trace of you other than the Disney princess towel that they had laying on the rack outside their house for who knows how many days. Every now and then Kuni would see somebody walk along the sidewalk, and some cars would drive past.

But other than the stuff he chose to pay attention to, time seemed to slow to a severely arduous crawl. His fingers tapped restlessly on the steering wheel, a silent rhythm of slowly building pent-up energy. "Why," He grunted lowly. "So much for a schedule. You can't even follow your own itinerary."

He considered getting out of the car to knock as soon as you tumbled out of the house with papers flying out of your hands. You and Kuni shared glances, with your messy attire and chaotic acumination of items you sprung together.

With a hint of a smile, you waved at him through the car when you knew he was staring, and the initial frustration loosened. Kuni opened the car door, wincing as he was greeted with the rising sun, walking towards you. "I knew you were making things up as you go."

"I was not!" You gasped dramatically, "I happen to need all of this stuff, thank you very much. We just happened to be 30 minutes behind schedule, is all."

"More like forty. You took so long that I had to turn my engine off." Kuni eyes dulled, looking down as you put your untied shoe in front of him. "You're not seven. Do it yourself."

"My hands are tied." You defended, a gentle smile tugging at the corners of your lips. "I can't do everything by myself, right?"

Their eyes locked in a participated gaze, a gaze that Kuni tapped out of immediately. He rolled his shoulders, eyes moving away to the tops of your shoes as he crouched down, fingers deftly holding the laces.

With the final tug, he secured the knots and stood up. His brows furrowed slightly, the ripple of annoyance slowly returning in his grasp. "I can't stand you. Get in the car now."

"Jesus, fine." Your bottom lip jutted out at his sudden words. "Careful, I may think this is a kidnapping."

"Kidnapping you?" Kuni scoffed. "Why don't you think about making yourself useful and tell me where we're going."

"Psh. There's a reason why Google Maps exists. We're gonna get there so fast that those cryptids are gonna meet their maker! Their mooooney makerrr!" You put all of your items in the back trunk safe and sound, closing it all the while keeping your backpack on you. Kuni helped load the camera in a sack.

The excitement was palpable again in your tone. Though as you and Kuni were about to get in the car, a sudden burst of movement erupted from the corner of your vision.

A figure popped up from the front of the car bumper all of as sudden. "Hey!" The feminine voice shouted right in your face, but it was too late, because your heart leaped to your throat and you screamed.

You held up the canister of Venti's Shining Idol Barbara hairspray and pressed the trigger so fast that she couldn't even stop you by the time the cloud of potent, glittery mist engulfed the air.

Quickly, the remorse began to settle in, your mouth opened far as you gasped. "Oh, no! You're not a cryptid, you're just a bystander! I'm sorry!! I'm so sorry!"

"No, it's fine, I- oh my god it hurts! What did you spray me with?!" Her vision was clouded, trying to look through blurry slits but to no avail. "Am I dying? Oh, I'm dying!"

"It was...glitter hairspray." You hesitated.

"I wasn't trying to startle you!" She shouted in pain, the burning sensation overwhelming her. "I feel like this is so strong that I need to file a lawsuit!"

"Hah. Lawsuit." Kuni couldn't help but laugh. "I'd love to see you try."

"What?! You can't just sneak up on us and then get mad when I retaliate! I learned that in bear hunting school, it's a classic defense mechanism!" You frowned, "What's your name?!"

"Hu Tao! I thought you would remember me because I sat up front! I went to the presentation about you going on a research trip and I really liked it, so I wanted to join you guys- Ooow, ow, ow, ow!!"

You froze, eyes full. "...What?!"

Kuni, frozen as well, watched as the scene unfolded, with a bunch of screaming and painful crying from the woman. The situation was so on cue that he almost wanted to laugh hysterically. His shoulders dropped in disbelief, putting the key in his pockets and putting his hands on his faces to seethe in them silently, miserably groaning. "You gotta be fucking kidding me."

ouattober2023 Day 7: Fav Side Chara

Mulan (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

I think Once Upon A Time has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to great characters everywhere. I may not be a fan of a lot of the way romances got handled, and I have opinions about the untapped potential left and right, but the characters we got to witness are pretty amazing. That's why even when I didn't care about the larger plot, I always had fun with this show. So many cool characters. But making me pick one who left an impact on me with not much screentime (well, at least I have 12 eps) and had me screaming for more - it's Mulan. Of course she does have the advantage of having one of the best animated Disney Princess movies.

Although that's a funny thing here. Where known fairytales got a little twist here and there, Mulan's backstory isn't really touched upon. She wears her armor, is a well-trained soldier/warrior and now travels a lot. It's like "we know you know the movie, let's get on". The one re-occuring thing we get is this fabulous moment when she takes off her helmet and people go "omg you're a girl" and she gets to correct them "woman". A+ Being viewed as a dude and if not getting underestimated is her thing.

An outstanding moment I love about Mulan? In 2x06 Tallahassee Emma tells her to cut down the beanstalk should she not be back within ten hours and also to do everything to get Snow back home to Storybrooke. It's the classic situation doing something dangerous while the clock is ticking. And usually a hero will be like "five more minutes", everything is very close. But we need moments of real tension to undercut the usual. And Mulan is so perfect for this. Because she will honor this agreement to the letter. She is one to ask to follow difficult orders. Snow actually does tackle her to the ground and yes, Emma arrives a few minutes late, then all is fine. But this is the cornerstone of Mulan as a character - give her a task, she will do it, with everything she has. It could even be something detriment to her own happiness or well-being. A character trait that can be a strength and a flaw at the same time. The range! We could have seen this later on if Mulan had stayed. She could have been a person to side with "the reasonable option" against the group of hope-loving heroes even.

That doesn't mean Mulan is uncaring. We got to witness how she fell in love with Aurora, we know she has a soft side. Sure, she protected Aurora, because she promised Philip to take care of her, but that situation became very personal. And omg that scene when Mulan gives Aurora her heart back... has any heart been placed back with such care? Such a sensual scene!

It's soul-crushing they kinda did this to Mulan twice. Robbing her of finding love, watching on as somebody under a Sleeping Curse gets True Love's Kiss, never experiencing that magic herself. But apart from that, when she gets her heart crushed (only figuratevily) in 3x03 Quite a Common Fairy and announces she'd join Robin Hood's band - I did hope she would. She could have been an excellent addition. Especially since the Merry Men could have used more to do (just like the dwarves). That would have been such a fun mix and overall a great way to eventually get Mulan to Storybrooke. That ep did make it clear that Robin would have a bigger role, attaching Mulan to him seemed logical.

I also like that Mulan's first instinct is to not trust people. She sees Neal, she recognized the style of clothing and she is suspicious (great contrast to Aurora's reaction). But Neal wins her over and boom, once Mulan is in your side, you can relax. Such a good partner for whatever errand you have to run. Which is why it makes sense that when Ruby asks if Mulan wants to join her on a search for werewolves, Mulan says yes. (Not like she has anything better to do.) Mulan craves a purpose. Imagine somebody would have introduced her to colorful textmarkers and color-coded itineraries. Belle showed her how useful information out of a book can be, they could have solved more situations together.

beeeeee can you please dump any random headcanons you can think of pleeeease??? -🪶

Etho loves any affectionate nicknames even when he's in an older/half-regressed headspace—from the very start of his little journey, he never argues to being called cutie or little one or even baby/babyboy because it just makes him so warm and melty inside, he could never deny it leaves him feeling safe and small. he isn't forthcoming with the information either tho, so you'll have to read it from his blush and how he ducks his head into his CG's chest/shoulder. His (not so) secret favourite is when Skizz calls him his lil snugglebug

side note: etho's 'i'm embarrassed by how small this is making me' face is squinting his eyes shut tight (to hide), blushing (if u can catch it peekin over his mask), and often makin a lil squeaky sound in his throat

[whereas grian will very possibly bite you if you call him anything like that. hard. unless you're Scar or Azzie]

Grian's very well-known tell for feeling little is sucking his finger, it is incredibly rare to find him sucking his actual thumb because he's convinced only babies suck their thumbs but big boys suck their pinkies! he tries to keep it hidden from plain sight inside his sweater paw though, because his CGs and babysitters try to make him use his paci instead and that feels kind of yucky and not nice to be told. He really only likes using the paci when he is super extra little, otherwise it feels wrong in his mouth and is embarrassing

Gem thrives with a routine when little and really appreciates Impulse's insistence on it during family weekends: the same afternoon snack time, the same saturday morning Disney movie to get her into littlespace, the same bedtime itinerary. her favourite is every sunday evening he washes her hair for her over the tub and they just talk and smile while he lovingly lathers and rinses her hair (she also taught him the right order to do her hair products in). Then she gets to play with her stuffies while he dries it and with her elaborate roleplay scene always makes him laugh so hard he doubles over—and once so hard he dropped the hairdryer on his foot

a/n… FEENIE MY ME!!! I am a massive Feenie kinnie so i am obligated to write her ✧ 🦄

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 Get ready for the most Disney channel friendship ever.

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 Phoenica grew up pretty sheltered, so most of her ideas of what friendship is meant to look like come from movies and TV. And magical girl anime, can’t forget the magical girl anime.

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 No matter your gender, you will be recruited to her magical girl troupe. It’s inevitable, just let it happen.

“Oh, and magical girls usually have a special name for their transformations! Like Sailor Moon has her base form, but she also has Super Sailor Moon, Eternal Sailor Moon……what do you want yours to be? I have a list of approved words you can reference!”

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 She insists upon you calling her Feenie or some other kind of nickname. After all, you’re friends! And Feenie is what her friends call her!

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 Lots and lots of list making and itineraries. Even for a simple sleepover, she has a full schedule of activities decorated with cute stickers.

“At five PM we’ll have dinner, then after that we’ll have dessert…..oh, and a full movie marathon! Then that should make some room for the pillow fight and fort building at eight, then we should be all cozy and ready to sleep by nine! Perfect, right?”

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 She also keeps a ‘friendship scrapbook’ of all the things you do together. Photos from every hangout, little stickers and your names sewed into the front cover…..she has you help work on it whenever she adds a new page!

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 If you’re friends with Feenie, then Molly and Trixie naturally are your friends, too. If you met Feenie after she already met the other Neo Trio members, Trixie insists on staging a formal ‘vibe check’ to see if you pass. This consists of them poking you with a glow stick to check your ‘aura’ and having you consume a special potion that is definitely not just three sodas in a jar.

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 You get included as a supporting character in her self insert fanfiction! Yippee! This is the highest recognition of friendship you can receive from Feenie.

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 (Also it is my personal belief that the Neo Trio’s My Little Pony OCs are as follows: Feenie is an alicorn crystal pony, Molly is an earth pony, and Trixie is a Changeling, because every transgender person wanted to be a Changeling. Source: me.)

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 The Neo Trio makes you a special accessory as per custom. Feenie always brags about her addition to the accessory, clearly ecstatic to be able to give you a gift that you love.

“Molly did the braiding, and I picked the little beads.” Despite their stoic expression, Trixie was clearly all too eager to hand you the custom friendship bracelet the group had crafted for you.

From behind them, Feenie was even more eager to giggle and squeal, “I added all the GLITTER! Isn’t it so fabulous?”

“Yeah,” Molly nodded. “It’s like one of those yellow reflective vests. Now there���s no way you won’t be visible at night.”

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 Without her mom around, and her dad busy, she often feels lonely at home. So please stay over at least once a week, it makes her really happy.

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 She is the sweetest most considerate friend ever. Food allergies? None of that food at any of her friend events! You’re trans or use unorthodox pronouns? She keeps a list of all your preferred ones! Neurodivergent? She communicates according to your boundaries and is never upset over mistakes. What a sweetheart.

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 Also? Perfect study buddy. If you’re someone who struggles to study or get homework done, she invites you over to do flash cards and have snacks. Whatever your learning style is, she’ll research a bunch of fun study games to play to help you.

“Oh my gosh! You’ve nearly memorized the entire times table for seven!” The little ball of fluff was practically bouncing off the walls with excitement. No matter what it was, Feenie was always eager to be proud of you. “We can finish the rest after a snack! Annabelle made us snickerdoodles!”

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 You come to know most of her house staff by name. They know you well, and practically consider you part of the family.

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 Feenie confides in you about a lot of things she doesn’t normally tell anyone else. How much pressure she feels over having to save the world, how unfair it is, that she has to do all this and she’s just a kid…..usually, Feenie does her best to be a typical ray of sunshine so that nobody has to feel sad around her, but she can’t help but just feel so safe around you.

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 You really are family to her.
