#gnomeo and juliet fanfiction

[cantthinkofnames]

Some Featherstone and Shroom doodles!

I feel like their friendship is so underrated and I absolutely adore them 💕💕

Featherstone is so fun to draw !!

[sparkyblizz]

it's time for my annual remembrance that the reason I got into blackbright was because I watched Sherlock Gnomes (sequel to Gnomeo and Juliet, cinematic masterpiece), looked it up on tumblr to see if people were into gnome johnlock (cuz Sherlock and Watson in this movie have the gay vibes, what do we expect from a movie with an Elton John soundtrack) and managed to find not only a short fanfiction but an epic writer who wrote an epic blackbright fanfiction series, Phantoms and Mirages

I need to rehash this story every year also who wants to hear me talk about this movie

[shakespeare-official-account]

I am not patient (nor did I send the gnome attack, that was someone else)

what do u think about gnomeo and Juliet?

Gnomeo and Juliet?! What?! This is certainly some interesting fanfiction…

[zootopiathingz]

(So sorry if these are common questions)

1.) What non-Mario fandoms are you a part of?

2.) Favorite type of character? (In general or simping-wise. Whatever you prefer)

3.) What got you into making headcanons, storytelling, etc?

1. Gravity Falls, anything Pixar related, Phineas and Ferb, Zootopia, Detroit Become Human, Owl House. And since I have no shame, Gnomeo & Juliet

2. It really depends on the show/movie/etc. I tend to favor the underrated, over-hated characters in fandoms and sometimes it’ll be the main character, or the deuteragonist with barely any screen time. It’s just entirely dependent on who I relate to or who I sympathize with the most

3. Well I’ve been writing since I was 4 years old, so I’ve always had a passion for storytelling. In fact I used to always make up scenarios about my favorite characters and write little stories about them (before I knew what fanfiction was lol). So I guess I’ve just always been this way!

[several-breathing-eyes]

Any adaptations also count as fanfiction. Movies like Gnomeo and Juliet, 10 things I hate about you, Hoodwinked, those are all technically fanfictions of their original source material.

Harry Potter is technically Camelot fanfiction because Merlin exists within it.

So is the Magic tree House book series again because of Merlin.

Some people could argue Percy Jackson is fanfiction of The Odyssey and The Iliad or just Greek myth in general.

If you've read any books that are retellings of old stories you have red fanfiction.

Any adaptations of Frankenstein you've consumed? Fanfiction.

Especially since I've never seen an adaptation of Frankenstein that gets the monster's character right.

A Muppets Christmas Carol? Fanfiction.

Everything is fanfiction if you choose to believe.

i bet you read fanfiction you little freak

Proud to have never read even one, making me better, stronger and wiser than the majorly of tumblr users

“Real” Books vs. Fanfiction

| My List |

Why should other people decide what a “real” book is or what “real” writing is?

Writing by definition is “the activity or occupation of composing text for publication.” Now what about publication, is there really a difference between The New York Times and Archive Our Own(Ao3)? Yes there is, The New York Times is a newspaper; they talk about news not making fan-written content, but even then isn’t some of what they write fan-written too?

Anyone who paid attention to their high school English classes should know that William Shakespeare did not create Romeo and Juliet it was a story that was already around. Shakespeare just turned it into a play and made it his own.

Many people have used the story of Romeo and Juliet to make and tell other stories, much like the 2010 movie Letters to Juliet. People in Italy write letters to ‘Juliet’ leaving the letters on the wall, the letters are taken by these women who are ‘Juliet’ giving love advice to hundreds of people, there’s more to the movie but the story around the Italian lovers plays a major part in the movie’s plot.

Another movie based on the old Shakespearean play is Gnomeo and Juliet (2011), about two gnomes who fall in love but are from fighting gardens. Gnomeo ‘dies’ leaving Juliet heartbroken and for her “safety” her father glues her to her tower. Gnomeo’s best friend goes for revenge using a lawn tractor destroying both gardens; they find out that Gnomeo is alive just before the lawn tractor hits the tower Juliet and Gnomeo are on. Unlike the classic tragedy, they live and the gnomes make peace.

Another play by Shakespeare is Julius Ceasar, about the general Julius Ceasar, leading up to his death the ‘Ides of March’. We do not know what was said or the specifics of all that happened, but the play is not historically accurate either. What Shakespeare makes seem to happen in just a few weeks actually took two years; much more happened than what the play shows, but then that would make the play longer than it already is.

What about modern media, where fanfiction has become a constant that’s just there? Some very popular books have even gotten movies of their own. Specifically, After by Anna Todd and the far more popular Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James, were both originally works of fanfiction.

Fifty Shades of Grey the million-dollar selling series was originally a Twilight fanfiction posted on Fanfiction.net, James eventually took it down and made her own website to post her story on along with changing the characters’ names. Her online book gained so much traction that agents came to her to sign with them.

Unlike James' book, Anna Todd’s was posted on the infamous Wattpad, a writing and reading website and app better known for its abundance of fanfiction rather than its’ original stories.

After follows the protagonist Tessa and her very…messy love life of college. Her main love interest is Harry Styles, from the boy band that raged its most in the 2000s, One Direction. While the boy is nothing like the Harry Styles that everyone loves today(and then), Todd did say that they only share looks and dress. She did eventually change his name to Hardin Scott, keeping the singers’ initials, because if she did publish it with his name Harry Styles could certainly sue for defamation of character.

Ao3 has thousands if not millions of pages on its site, not all of them are good but not all horrible. Sure some should have never seen the light of day but here we are, a site where you can post a fan-written piece regardless of whether it is problematic or not. While none of them are “real books”, they are real writing.

Writing in itself is a spectrum, like poetry. Poetry is a form of writing that has so many different ways to go about it, you don’t truly have rules in poetry. Poetry simply has guidelines and that should go for writing as a whole.

I’m writing my first G&J fanfic👉🏻👈🏻

Ngl I’m liking it so far, and it’s not easy writing this with the creative block I’m in rn. BUT support from readers is always helpful so if you’d like to check it out, that would mean a lot to me! <3

I have a new Sherlock Gnomes story ^^

[ceruleanwhore]

It’s funny because, one time, I wrote an essay for one of my English classes about a fanfic (specifically, it’s a self insert Gnomeo and Juliet squirm fic called ‘please kill m’ on Ao3) and I posted a comment saying I’d done that and, when, to my surprise, the author actually responded, I commented a link to the essay in my google drive, so I very literally commented an essay.

very sexy indeed

Chapter 21: On The Edge Of The Spotlight

Becoming The Mask

Bold and italicized text indicates trollish.

"Behold." Toby opened up a tied grocery bag. An absolutely awful smell wafted out. A nearby troll leaned in for a better sniff. "Month-old sweat socks. Shopping spree tonight, on me." To the relief of the humans, and disappointment of the curious troll, he tied the bag back up.

"Speaking of buying things, I got my tickets for the play," said Darci. "My parents said they'd come, too." Assuming her dad didn't get called in to work.

"Nice," said Mary. Claire groaned.

"I'm not ready. We're not ready. Opening night's practically here and Steve still can't really get into character. I mean, he knows his lines, finally, but his delivery could still do with a lot of work."

"I thought he was doing fine," said Mary. "Everyone but you and he and Eli keeps stumbling. I feel like I'm doing tongue twisters. At least when Steve messes up, he acts like he meant to say it that way, so most of the audience probably won't notice."

"Sure, it's 'good enough', but it feels like he's using that as an excuse not to try and get better. Iambic pentameter is supposed to flow, and he just … blasts it out."

"Toby, do you or Jim have tickets yet?" asked Darci.

She knew he had. As the Mole, she'd been helping sell tickets at a table outside the auditorium that afternoon. But none of her friends knew she was the school mascot yet, so she asked.

"I bought two, for Nana and me. Jimbo said he's worried some emergency might come up in Trollmarket or at the clinic so he's not sure he or his mom can make it, but I'm working on him to buy tickets in advance just in case, so he doesn't get to the door and find out they're sold out."

"How many emergencies does he get called in for?" Mary gestured at the bustling underground marketplace as the four humans stood aside for a few carts to pass by. "It's busy down here but it all seems pretty peaceful. And when stuff does happen, most trolls seem like they'd rather fight out their own problems."

They all jumped when a gnome popped out of the wall beside them and chittered angrily. They reminded Darci of squirrels that way.

"Have you noticed the hat colours?" Claire wondered out loud. "Red and blue, like in Gnomeo and Juliet. Except these little guys don't seem to be fighting each other."

"Have you noticed," said Toby, "how there's now at least two movies that take a Shakespeare tragedy, rework it for a happy ending, give it a surprise cast, and set it to Elton John music?"

"What's the other?"

"Lion King is supposed to be based on Hamlet."

"… Yeah, I guess I can see that," said Claire. "The sequel to that one was Romeo and Juliet, too, and the, what's it called, interquel, was like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead."

"I think it's a sidequel?" Toby looked it up on his phone. There could, amazingly, be a better signal in some parts of Trollmarket than in some areas of the town above. "An interquel happens in the time between other stories. A sidequel basically overlaps another story in time, but with different perspective or locations."

"Elton John also did the Road To El Dorado soundtrack," said Darci. "I've heard the first song was supposed to have another verse, where it talks about a prophecy of the gods coming to live in the city of gold and that's why everyone was expecting them when Miguel and Tulio showed up, but it got cut for some reason."

"We should do a slumber party this weekend," said Mary. "We could marathon a bunch of 'contemporary takes' on Romeo and Juliet and tell our parents it's for school."

"I really need this to go well," said Claire, going to fidget with her hair. Her hand brushed one of her clips and she stopped herself. "My parents have been on me practically since I auditioned. The one time I got a B, what was their advice? Drop the play. If this doesn't go great, they're going to be all, 'we told you so'."

"Hey, no matter how bad the rest of us stink, you'll do great," Mary insisted.

"You both will – AAAHH!" The gnome hopped onto Darci's shoulder, and from there onto a green troll with an orange – pelt? A beard and a fringe of fur across his shoulders – who was walking the other way. The troll either didn't notice or didn't care about the sudden passenger.

"You okay, Darce?"

"Yeah, just startled me."

"It's wild watching them jump," said Toby. "I wonder if anybody's recorded, like, a record, for how high and how far they can go. We should ask Blinky. Or Chompsky; he'll do anything for a Nougat Nummy."

"Who's Chompsky?" Darci brushed off her shoulder. She was pretty good with names, and that one sounded familiar, but she couldn't put a face to it.

"Kind of my roommate? He's a gnome who lives in my dollhouse. I don't speak gnome so I don't know his real name, so I named him after that linguist guy Noam Chomsky; Nana's got some of his books; and Chompsky rolled with it."

Pedestrian traffic had eased up, so they were able to wander onward without fear of being stepped on.

"You have a dollhouse?" Of course that was the part that would draw Mary's attention.

"It's technically Nana's but it's in my room. It's the perfect size for Sally-Go-Back and digging it out of the basement was easier than saving up for the Moon Base."

"How'd you end up with a gnome in your room?" Mary asked next. "Did it follow you back from Trollmarket or something?"

"Stow away in your backpack?" Darci could see that. They seemed to like small places, being so small themselves. An open bag would look like an invitation.

"I think he followed Jim, actually. It was before I found out about, you know," Toby spread his hands in an expansive 'ta-dah' gesture, "this. Chompsky showed up one night, and then Jim came in and saw him and was all, 'oh no, we need to catch him, this is unsafe, what if he bites?', but then Chompsky found the dollhouse and kinda settled in, and I thought he was cool, and … I guess Jim decided he had to keep his cover, so he dropped it."

Toby's face fell a little. It had to hurt, knowing his best friend had been keeping something this big from him for so long. Darci felt bad sometimes about keeping her mascot job secret from her friends, and that wasn't nearly on this scale.

Jim was in the Hero's Forge. Usually he spent some of the night with the four of them, but apparently he'd lost a sparring match a couple of nights ago, and things were tense between him and Draal and Blinky now. As Darci understood the explanation, Draal had accused Jim of slacking off and Blinky took that as an insult to his capacities as a trainer when he found out.

So Jim was ramping up his training.

AAARRRGGHH, at least, was acting as calm as ever. Darci wasn't sure the placid troll could get mad for real.

"Hi, Bagdwella," Mary greeted when they reached her shop. It looked like a junkshop to human eyes but Bagdwella advertised it as 'fine gifts'. "How's business?"

"A little slow this week," she answered. The humans liked to stop by her place because she'd let them practise speaking trollish with her. "Not unusual for the season. It should pick up in three or four days. Rumour has it" – Darci and Claire exchanged amused looks at one of the first phrases they all learned, since it was one of Bagdwella's and Mary's favourites – "some of Glug's relatives are planning to visit from Floor-ee-dah. They always forget to pack a few essentials and they like to bring home souvenirs."

"What's this?" asked Claire, suddenly, sharply. She held up a stuffed rabbit and switched languages. "Where did you get this?"

"My suppliers brought it in a while ago, I don't recall exactly."

"This is my brother's bunny! He's been acting weird ever since he lost it. Suzy Snooze was here the whole time?"

"Uh, Claire?" Toby waved at her. "First rule of bargaining, don't let them know just how bad you want the thing." He turned to Bagdwella. "I'll trade you three socks for the … toy. I don't know the words for 'stuffed rabbit'."

"It's a stuffed rabbit if it's cooked and a cloth rabbit if it's a toy. Twelve socks and a bedspring."

"Four socks and a candy wrapper."

"Ten socks, all argyle."

Toby checked his pockets. "Six socks, a candy wrapper, AND a pen full of delicious dried ink."

"Deal."

"You didn't have to do that," Claire said to Toby when they left.

"I kinda did. She runs a store, not a Lost & Found. Even if she believed you about it being your brother's, she wasn't gonna just give it back."

Claire cuddled the plush rabbit. Darci's skin crawled a bit, watching her. Who knew what the toy had gotten into while it was missing? Trolls were amazing but not very clean.

"You'd better run that through the laundry a few times before you give it back to Enrique," she said.

"It'll be good for his immune system," Claire joked. "But seriously, yeah, I will."

Previous Chapter (Barbara has dramatically ironic concerns about Jim)

Table of Contents

Next Chapter (Back to the main plot!)

What Toby refers to as 'Shakespeare tragedies' are more accurately called 'Shakespearean tragedies', but he either doesn't know that or doesn't care.

In S1E4, Gnome Your Enemy, Toby refers to the dollhouse in his room as "Nana's dollhouse" at least once, so he presumably got it from her.

Bagdwella has a sister, Sagdwella, who "lives under a trailer park in Oo-tah". The Quagawumps live in Florida except for one, Glug, who spends her time in Trollmarket and makes a presumably-alcohol-equivalent drink that she seems to have named after herself.

Jim and Toby didn't see Enrique being carried by a goblin or chase after them, so Suzy Snooze was left in the alley until a troll on a scavenge run happened upon the abandoned plush bunny.

hey mutuals and followers, have you ever wondered how I became a blackbright shipper?

well, I'll tell you! it all started with Sherlock Gnomes fanfiction.

one night Sherlock Gnomes—the sequel to Gnomeo and Juliet (these are both real movies yes and I unironically love them)—was on TV so I sat down and watched it. afterwards, I searched the tag on tumblr out of interest.

I happened to find a fanfiction. about Sherlock and Watson. johnlock but Sherlock Gnomes. effervescent, amazing, perfect.

I checked the author's blog, and when I went to search it, I can't remember why, I saw these tags:

I don't think I'd ever seen or heard of blackbright before! but from context I knew it was a ship name, I mean, it's kinda obvious, lol

so I scrolled through the tag on their blog. I was fascinated. I'd never thought of blackbright. I never shipped Simon with anyone, no one seemed to fit him. I'd never liked blackmadhi despite how popular it was (sorry blackmadhi fans it just didn't appeal to me). and I loved Bobby when I played the game, and I was crushed when the Phantom reveal happened. I found art, posts about Bobby Lives AUs, and I'd never heard of such a thing. an alternate universe? where he doesn't die? what a novel idea!

I then found Meowzy's fic series, Phantoms and Mirages. and I started reading it. that night. I read it in less than two days. I was enthralled. obsessed. I swear to you this series is something else (and unfortunately lacks tags that you might need for all manner of interesting and potentially triggering material). it's also very long but GOD did I enjoy reading it!

I remember I have an old post somewhere where I shouted out Meowzy's fics, if I find it I'll reblog it or something (edit: found it).

but anyway, that was it, I became a blackbright shipper, I became obsessed with Dual Destinies again in general, and I started writing fanfictions for it. I made wonderful friends who I really do appreciate.

so, for everyone who likes my fics and my dumbass posts about various DD characters including Bobby and Simon, none of that would've ever happened if it hadn't been for @renegadewangs, and, of course, Sherlock Gnomes fanfiction.
