#fife beauty and the beast

[fizzy-dizz]

how about a character you haven't drawn (or at least haven't drawn much) before? I like seeing your takes on the canon designs, or lack thereof :>

YEAH actually i forgor ive been tinkering with Fife and Angelique redesigns for a while now, so since we're nearing the holiday season here they are! (with design notes bc i love explaining my choices ahjgjdsh)

For Fife I always imagined a marching band kind of look for him so there's the jacket (without the epaulettes because it looked too much). In his canon human form, he's wearing a sash thing idk what it is but i stole that to recreate the asymmetry of his cursed form. Circles are implemented across his character design so i sprinkled them all over basically. Anyways I hate how bro was just Bootleg Lumiere i was itching to change him around 😭

For Angelique i wanted her to resemble her cursed form a lot more. My girl is a short queen + has a rounder face + pale skin resembling porcelain. Angelique's design is triangular in shape so i kept that with her dress, but also wanted to lean more into the angel imagery so i gave her hair the swirlies to look like puffy clouds :3 (and a goldilocks look too). She's also got some rosacea so she looks more ornament-like. I kept the big bow around her waist from the canon design because CUTE and also to sort of look like wings??

Yeah those r my personal takes on them

Day 2: Venus Flytrap

This prompt had me thinking about Fife and Forte for like a whole week, I had so many ideas for dramatic art pieces... buuuut then I had no time! Hopefully, I'll at least make thumbnails for those ideas (someday), but for now, I threw together a quick meme, featuring my headcanon design for Fife!

I've been doodling Fife so much lately, send help.

Beauty and the Beast Week 2024 starts on the 23rd, and we’re counting down to the event with a silly Disney BatB poll each day.

*I'm purposely not including Forte here, because he canonically loves being an object, so that's cheating.

Find more info about BatB Week here, and follow this blog to see all the creations as they are posted during the event week.

A fanon for The Bishop from Cuphead DLC

What if....

He is the only one immortal in the chess folks

He is secretive an angel ya know like Saints like

He is the healer

He is very skilled at fighting he just never show too much of it because it was too violent for him

When you met him first he seems to be grumpy and serious but actually the most jolliest and kind guy in the castle

His eyes are supernatural and rare that's why he can only see things that we can't (like auras and so forth) in fact this might be the reason why he also can read you in sight

His 3 heads have different visions his Left head represet Past that's why it can see different souls past lives especially terrible ones that why it always cry and the Right one represent Future and can see positive outcomes that's why it always joy it also represent his two side the depressive and jolliest

His 2 other heads can talk seperately and have their own emotions and opinions but sometimes they can talk in sync

When he gets upset sometimes he made a cartoonish angry pipe noise (If you guys know Fife from Beauty & The Beast: Enchanted Christmas then he was based off in his tune)

It doesn't matter what gender he is in even though he is male

When he sings it's a sync between an organ pipe and angelic choir that's why they can make church music even though they were alone

He love roses

He is an Ambivert one but mostly introvert

He can turn his 3 heads as weapon (by having a rifle bell)

He usually eat chickens and veggies and some red whine and some raisins

He is pure blooded Spanish but good at multilanguage

Sometimes he just mysteriously floats when he walks

He can teleport his head in anywhere

Even his head was far away he can still know or feel what is happening to his body and he can just control it. For example if you plan to steal his ring then he will smack you in the face

His real eye colors are color Light Blue when his energy was up or in the dark it glows pink or became pink

When he blushes his blue cheeks became glowing pink

He love every animals except insects (cockroaches, centipede, beetles etc..) and goats cause it reminds him about the Devil

His rival are King Dice especially the Devil

Sometimes he can get paranoid when he was around with newbies because he thought it might be the Devil in disguise

Back when he was young he once have a lover but it never last long

Beauty and the Beast AU:

Is there a person like Forte (the pipe organ) (from the Christmas direct to movie special)? May I suggest the elders? Scheming, thinking they know what��s best, lying to the Prince, would be acting as regents if they hadn’t been wiped from all memory? Danzo would also work. Oh! If it’s Danzo, he could have a little helper like in the movie, who ultimately betrays him. Maybe Itachi or Yamato? I know you already have Yams being the gardener.

Hdjxhs I LOVE THAT YOU MENTIONED THE CHRISTMAS MOVIE. That’s what started me on this whole mess XD

And i think it would be danzo cuz Forte was manipulative af and that fits Danzo so well (the elder’s just insult Kakahsi and demmand things. Far less manipulative)

The elder’s could actually still be in the village acting as mayor’s because ‘someone needs to lead the village’

I would def go with Sai as Fife though, cuz Itachi never blindly followed Danzo or wanted to gain anything (fife wanted to have a solo/recognition) so Sai would be eorfect. PLUS gives us a young Naruto and Young Sai who are first clash and then become friends after Forte is destroyed.

Actually you know what, I was going to go to bed since it is 2.30 AM right now, but I have opinions!

Retellings of classics/fairy tales can be so so GOOD especially when they add more representation or explore new avenues through which to view the story which allows us to see aspects of the story that have been forgotten/wouldn't have been appropriate to focus on in the time period they were created/vastly distributed. Even the 400 pages of smut woth an excuse of story retellings can be good because hey you wrote what you wanted and yes it was set up for smut but you actually sat there and wrote something!

And I know I've bemoaned books that strip stories just so they can write smut before, but that's aimed at books that pretend they aren't just smut. The people who from the gey go basically establish within 100 pages these guys end up in bed have my respect. You're open, honest and ironically enough aren't messing about with foreplay here.

However my issue lies with the influx I've noticed recently on bookinsta and booktok of "diverse" retellings of classics/fairy tales that ... just aren't?

Like on booktok I recently came across a user claiming that now that the Great Gatsby was in the public domain as of last year they were going to be writing the gay gatsby book. As if people haven't been writing literal fanfiction for years of Nick and Gatsby, as if there isn't an entire area of novel analysis designated to the idea of Nick and Gatsby as not only a couple but also as metaphors for different forms of sexual repression within 1920s American society. Like there's nothing necessarily wrong with it, but it's being marketed as something so new and fresh... when i know for a fact within the hours of it becoming public domain there was a great Gatsby retelling but if they were animals, at least 3 Great Gatsby but Nick and Gatsby kiss and the great Catsby published.

Or the fairytale retellings that are queer, but aren't actually retellings or based on the stories. They're using the names for attention.

In particular a recent one I found was a beauty and the beast retlling but Gay. Promising so far, I was imagining like bear jokes you know? Maybe a twink joke, a medieval appropriate fuck boi joke about Gaston.

No.

The prince falls in love with his guard (its supposed to be based on the Disney film) not the Princess (Belle is a peasant in the film) but its all a okay because she's a lesbain.

Again how the actual fuck is this a retelling or even inspired by specifically as the author DOES specify the Disney version!?

Just write queer fairy tales nobody will stop you.

"But proto it's for exposure, it's for the algorithm!"

And anybody who has any interest in reading that goes beyond being spoon fed tropes and wattpad level descriptions won't want to read a book when the marketing itself is deceptive!

It just annoys me because like I said retellings can be so cool -ie hamlet and how it's set in EVERY time period or that one Macbeth adaptation set on a council estate where the Fife lords are drug dealers in Sussex- but nowadays people DONT want to wrote retellings they just want to use the concept and they disregard everything about it and then hide behind diversity cards. And what annoys me so much is that its mostly cis white authors being pushed.

What about the POC authors who are writing queer/POC/ other forms of diversity such as disability stories? Why are they being suppressed when they actually fit the description???

Like for instance cinderlla is dead!? Personally I didn't enjoy it but its a retelling, of the story of cinderella with its own twists and turns!!

“look at me and how problematic i am about this on tumblr dot com”

ultimately based in a need for external validation no matter which direction that validation goes in

the problematic things they enjoy writing about are things you Could infact see on like, game of thrones or something

this is just “welcome to my twisted mind” 2

this is the guy who is going to go on and on about “pomegranates as a metaphor” and then go “that’s stupid and overrated actually” as soon as someone else on this site makes fun of it a little

“guy on deviantart posting about marrying the fife from beauty and the beast 2: belle’s magical christmas (1997) and like, covering him in toothpaste or something “

whatever ego death could be experienced has already happened here

no desire whatsoever to look cool/subversive/appeal to a majority. just sheer love for the sake of doing

unique to the artist

one must imagine sisyphus happy

one of my beliefs is that people who brag on this site about their “problematic enjoyment!!” of medias are not getting in valhalla for this alone. but people who make esoteric deviantart ms paint edits about an obscure 90s cartoon character, Are

Okay. Metal is a wide genre so I will be attaching subgenres.

The albums I am pulling out are favorites of mine, and it is easier to pull out the romantic ones than the non-romo ones.

Nightwish, orchestral/symphonic: all of Endless Forms Most Beautiful is non-romo, Human. :||: Nature. has some community focused songs but nothing romantic, I don't think. Imaginaerum has Slow, Love, Slow which is romantic but that's the only one. Earlier albums have more romantic/sexual songs.

Orden Ogan orchestral: Gunman. I think the only romantic ish one is Come with Me to the Other Side.

Sabaton: power metal, almost completely non-romantic. However it is military focused, which isn't to everyone's taste.

Gloryhammer: power/speed/fantasy metal. Premise is Fantasy Novel set in Magic Scotland and also in Space. Tales from the kingdom of Fife has a subplot about a captured princess, but the rest of the albums are romance free.

Eluveitie has some great stuff, but i'm not familiar enough to pull out specific songs. Same with Dragonforce.

One offs/ones that are more romo than not -

Ad Infinitum has some good songs - Marching on Versailles is a mood. Beast in Black is… eh, 50/50 relationships? Die by the Blade is fun in a 80's kung fu movie rivalry kinda way. Battle Beast is more romo, but Circus of Doom is a rad song.

I'm definitely just scratching the surface - wide genre. But part of what i love about it is that there's so much less of a focus on romance then a lot of music. Admittedly, the focus is often instead on punching god in the face or winning battles, but I like that.

how do you feel about metal music? Because metal is where I get all of my non-romantic music.

I don't listen especially much to metal music at the moment, but I think I'm likely to like it, at the very least I'm open to checking out some metal music :). So if you have any suggestions of metal songs I'd be happy to hear them :)
