#fic: the lost empire

[tealfling]

Imagine Rolan in love with Tav. Utterly smitten. Secretly pining.

Imagine Rolan watching from the tower in horror as the brain, that he knows Tav is-was- on, plummeting from the sky.

So I did some thinking last night and I finally understood something: I think I understand why Helga would’ve come back for revenge in the proposed sequel to Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

I’d be royally pissed too! First of all that betrayal from Rourke would hurt like hell! She spent 13 years with the guy, enduring life-threatening situations, overcoming obstacles and she believed he had her back! In the comic they released titled “The Secret of the Shepherd’s Journal” Milo’s grandpa expresses concern for Helga’s safety when she goes to scout out an ancient temple on her own. He warns Rourke and Helga that the place is likely guarded and heavily trapped. Rourke assures Milo’s Grandpa that she’s “been through far worse than this”. And he’s right if you look into her dossier file. To me, this shows two things. One, Rourke’s worked with Helga long enough that he knows her strengths and what she’s capable of. He knows that she’s tough as nails and is competent enough to not only carry out his orders but to succeed as well. In short HE TRUSTS HER! Two, Helga would have the same trust in Rourke in return. You don’t just go out and fulfill your C.O.’s orders without question unless you are a) absolutely loyal to them or b) trust them completely. Again, those two have been through a lot and I imagine that they’ve come through for each other time after time.

Sidebar: Now that I think on it this explains why Helga stuck with Rourke to the very end during the expedition to Atlantis. Even though she was clearly uncomfortable at some points. (Seriously just look at her expressions during the Heart of Atlantis Scene. Girly is NOT okay!) But she pushed past her own feelings to fulfill her end of the bargain because, again, SHE TRUSTS HIM! They’ve been through harder situations in the past and Rourke’s come through before so why SHOULDN’T she trust him?! Also, at that point, once they’d taken The Heart of Atlantis there was no going back. They’d taken an artifact that is sacred and vital to the Atlantean people, they committed regicide— They can’t undo their actions with a simple “sorry” so they had to commit! Plus if they gave it up at that point they would’ve been met with retribution.

Anyway! Rourke’s betrayal would have hurt so damn bad! I kinda have an idea of what it feels like to be betrayed by someone you trusted and I imagine the feeling was 10x worse for Helga. She’d be feeling anger, disbelief, confusion and a myriad of other emotions. Of course she gets her revenge when she shoots the balloon thus dooming Rourke to his fate.

HOWEVER, now that we have confirmation that she would’ve survived via Rourke’s shattered crystal remains we can infer that her suffering wouldn’t have stopped there. For one thing, her injuries would’ve been extensive and painful as hell. If Helga came back as a cyborg we can infer that the shards from Rourke didn’t heal her completely. Otherwise she’d have no need for replacement parts. So this chick, once she SOMEHOW managed to survive the intense volcanic eruption, would’ve had to crawl her way out of that place. Probably still injured and in extreme pain. I asked my husband (who has incredible pain tolerance btw) what it feels like to break a bone and he explained to me that it does more than “just knock the wind out of you”. You hear the crack and then you feel it. REALLY feel it. It’s a pain that’s so intense that it can immobilize you and put you into shock depending on the injury. So… Helga trying to move with numerous broken (maybe even shattered) bones would be the worst experience ever! And let’s not forget the damaged, possibly ruptured, organs that she’d be dealing with. I imagine that she probably would’ve spent days in utter agony and she couldn’t die because the crystal shards would’ve kept her alive.

Even worse, there’s no one coming to help her. Everyone thinks she’s dead (obviously) so she’s on her own. She’d only have her own thoughts for company and I imagine that the anger and resentment would grow with each passing moment. And who’s to say that Rourke’s own rage didn’t somehow transfer over to her via the shards and add fuel to the fire. She’d probably be blaming everyone for her predicament at that point and thus the seed of vengeance is planted.

Anyway, she makes it to the surface somehow and is probably rescued by some people. Some wounds might’ve gotten infected at the time resulting in amputations and such. And by the time she’s somewhere safe her life has changed forever. She’s lost limbs and who-knows what else, everyone thinks she’s dead. She can’t go back to Mr.Whitmore for work because of what she did (she’d probably get imprisoned) and it’s not like she could go home to her family. The world is in chaos being plunged into WWI and who knows what her family dynamic is like so… She’ll have to adapt. She’d probably obtain the cybernetic limbs and would spend a significant amount of time recovering. Next she’d gather resources and would obtain a crew. This would also take a long time… And that entire time her friends are reaping the rewards of their trip to Atlantis. They got the money she believed she was owed.

After all, SHE’D made the difficult choices! SHE was the one who was willing to get her hands dirty— To go against her conscience and leave an entire civilization to die out! She was willing to risk it all and would hope it’d be worth it— Only to get stabbed in the back and forgotten while her friends get rich! AND THEY DIDN’T EVEN LOSE ANYTHING!

So yeah, of course she’d be pissed!

Though I doubt she’d be willing to take personal responsibility for any of it. From personal experience, trauma and the emotions that come with it can really screw up your brain! Rational thought (at least for me) wasn’t exactly in the cards and I think it’d probably be the same for Helga, too. To Helga she’d be a victim in all of this and knowing her she wouldn’t take that sitting down. Going back to Atlantis and getting revenge for her would be cathartic (and less expensive than therapy). It wouldn’t take her suffering away but it would make it all worth it!

TLDR: I overanalyzed about Helga again and I made an essay. Basically, I can see why Helga would come back for revenge. I’d be pissed off too if I’d been betrayed, mortally wounded, mutilated and forgotten about, too.

Anyway! Enjoy your day people! Here’s a Helga gif!

What's that? Halloween is over? NOT IN THIS HOUSE, IT AIN'T!!

This is my act of rebellion against seeing Christmas stuff at Sam's Club in SEPTEMBER and hearing Christmas music ON FUCKING HALLOWEEN. Enjoy an extended Halloween on me, folks!

Hello Alexandra! I am doing well and I am so sorry this is so late. However, you are exactly right that 'Atlantis: The Lost Empire' is coming to OUAT!

The Cast is as follows:

Nanna Blondell as Kida Nedakh

John Kani as Kashekim Nedakh

ask me a question & spread some positivity!

[sinclair-enterprises]

Less than 1/4 of these featuring Helga Sinclair? And just 111 works, too. Sifting through them, I think the more egregious thing is that there’s only a handful that feature her genuine pov within the fictional A: TLE setting.

[helgas-cleavage]

I think Kida and Helga should kiss so I wrote a fic about it 🤭🤭💘💘🫢

(Heed tags! Enjoy)

[witchofthesouls]

Y'all, you know what I'm really surprised I don't see as a crossover?

Transformers and Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

The blue-white, crystalline effect between the Heart of Atlantis and a Cybetronian spark?

The similarities with longevity and technological leaps? Shoot, look how Atlantians picked up languages, speaking modern French and English with just a brief exchange!

Milo's exclamation that the Leviathan is a machine?

The giant guardians that produced the massive force field to withstand ground zero to a volcanic eruption and a tsunami?

How the Heart reacts to a lineage?!

Like, what if Atlantis was the remains/descendents of an alliance? I mean, look at the local fauna as well. A mix of either prehistoric or strange things. The Heart is perhaps a combination between the spark of Titan and Primal Artifact stripped to its bare essence? Perhaps Megatronus, the Fallen, as Gaea caught him? Or Quintus' own Artifact as his own descendents attempted a campaign on a younger Earth?

Our Queen Kida is either a Prime or Primal-descent, and I love it!

If I were going to get a commission done from my little BG3 ficverse, which couple should I get done?

These words kind of flooded my brain this morning and I thought I’d share them. Might make an AO3 account later and will post the full scene there. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

Setting: Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

Characters: These two adorkable OC’s. Lilia Sinclair and her friend Ash.

“Having bad things happen to you doesn’t make you a villain.” He said, his eyes softening. “It isn’t some god punishing you with divine retribution. Bad things happen, that’s just life… You were just young. You were learning; Finding your way in the world like the rest of us. You didn’t do anything wrong.”

He looked back down at me, the breeze delicately brushing a lock of white hair into his face. “Stop blaming yourself for what you didn’t know then and acknowledge that you’re trying to learn now.”

“Why are you being so nice to me?” I asked, frowning in confusion. “I’m an outsider. Even worse, I’m the child of someone who almost destroyed your entire civilization for money. How can you be so kind when I’m—”

Guilt choked at my throat causing my voice to break with a sob. The tears cut my words off before they could even leave my mouth. I stood there, frozen and unable to move towards him. I looked down at my dirt-crusted, worn leather boots. I couldn’t even look him in the eye. Shame forced my gaze downward towards the earth.

A long, tense silence fell between us.

I could already feel the divide between our two worlds— between us— growing by the minute. What was I doing trying to make friends with someone like him? He was a warrior; Brave, honest and above all, kind! He’d recognized my face— seen the similarities between my mother and I— and yet he’d still chosen to help me. This man was such a good person and I… My existence was a burden to everyone close to me; My Mother had given me up when I was born, my adoptive father had been cruel to me for as long as I could remember and my adoptive mother never protected me from him! I was damned from the moment I was born and this life was my punishment.

The soft sound of footsteps broke through the self-loathing haze I was in. Ash’s footfalls were quiet and slow as he approached— As if he were worried that he’d frighten me. I kept my eyes fixed on the ground even as I sensed him looming over me.

Then his large, calloused hands entered my view. Ash placed one finger underneath my chin. He tenderly lifted my head skywards until I was gazing directly into his ocean blue eyes. There was no malice in his cadence as his eyes met mine. A soft, sad smile crossed his lips as he spoke to me. His voice was gentle and low when he spoke but there was a firmness there, too, that encouraged me to heed his words.

“You are not them.” He said as he wiped a tear from my eyes. “Your choices are yours alone. The fact that you’re even acknowledging the past and the choices your Mother made are a testament to who you are as a person. You’re making an effort to be considerate and to listen to what I have to say. That alone tells me that you have a good, kind heart— Even if you don’t see it yourself.”

He brushed a hair out of my face and gave me an encouraging smile. “Now, come on! We’ve still got a whole city to see!”

I looked up after this man in wonder and bewilderment. Even though I didn’t believe them yet, his words had implanted themselves deep within my heart. Somehow, the weight in my chest didn’t feel so heavy anymore. I couldn’t help but smile back. I bounced on my tiptoes, excitement flooding my entire body, pulling a squeal from my lips.

“All right, let’s go!” I agreed and bounded after him.
