#hes gonna go full papa wolf rather than bear

[ashes-writing-corner]

Ahhhhh!!!!! This is so sweet! <3 <3 <3

Hey i just read some of your fics and i can’t lie..IM. IN. LOVE!!!! I absolutely adore your writing style too! When i saw you wrote something that included Roman Empire I screamed lol.

I was curious tho how would König from that au would’ve react to his lover being tired and pregnant carrying his heir. (Pregnancy kink alert) and their sex life looks during pregnancy 👀.

(This is not a *fic* fic, I just love to do these cute little moodboards! lmao)

Roman!König gets so fussy when his little fairy gets pregnant 🥺

Their new hut is barely even built before she notices that her moonblood no longer arrives. When she tells König the good news, he's already the happiest man in the world but now he's about to burst from joy. All his dreams are finally coming true!

König is so proud of his queen, but he's also proud of himself. He’s been working hard every day – as a man should! – hunting and fishing and building their new home and making love to his woman, basically toiling from sunrise to sunset. Now that there's a baby on the way, he can finally catch his breath and concentrate on taking care of his wife and finishing the roof for their new house ❤️

And lovemaking! There's lots of it in the first months, but when the baby starts to grow, König refuses to "bully" her before the child is born. Says that in his homeland people believe that it can hurt the baby if a man tries to get an already pregnant woman pregnant again. As much as he would love to do his daily duties, he can't risk the health of their child so it will simply have to wait.

Man starts to talk to her belly before even a month has passed, and in his own crude language too. Doesn't see how his fairy queen is rolling her eyes at this – even a mighty warrior turns into a simpleton when they've managed to get a woman pregnant, it seems.

She’s not jealous, per se, she just thinks he’s being a bit silly :/ König likes to ramble to the baby even more than he rambles to her these days, and the baby bump is not even visible yet! And when it is, gods, he gets even more silly. Every morning König gives her a kiss, then goes down to her belly and gives the baby a kiss too, then says Guten Morgen with a wide, cheerful smile.

It’s nice to see that at least someone here is happy, because she’s not having it easy; her back and knees hurt all the time, she wakes up five times during the night, her feet are always sore, she has to pee constantly, and her appetite is gone. König isn't really helping: he tries to feed her all the time “to make the baby strong” and gets worried if she doesn’t eat enough.

So it's a good thing that König has his little building project going on, otherwise he would go mad :/ Man is working hard to build the animal pens before winter, hunt the food, and do some carpentry such as make them a sturdy enough bed (...) that he dozes off in the evening after eating three large bowls of stew. These two lovebirds are soon sleeping under a pile of furs, with König's large hand protectively over Fee's tummy while the embers in the firepit offer them warmth through the night ❤️

And if Fee was treated like a queen before, now she's almost like a goddess. Barely gets to prepare the food because König doesn't want Fee to exert herself. The only thing she's allowed to do is weave (they have this cute little vertical loom), and if she ever looks tired, König will order her to rest and comes to pet her head or massage her feet.

Starts to excitedly talk about how he will teach the child how to run and wrestle and hunt and fight, be it boy or a girl. He has to teach their little wolf cub to fend for itself if need be, right? When Fee cuts in and says that if it’s a girl she can always marry a strong husband, König looks at her in shock. His baby girl, marrying some ugly, big brute who just wants to force his head under her dress?? There's no way he’ll let that happen!

Movie Reviews: Disney’s The Jungle Book 2016 Remake!

I finally get around to watching this movie! Does it get me pumped like I’m being chased by a tiger or does it flop like a big fat bear? Let’s find out! (Contains few spoilers and I will compare it to the original film.)

Based rather loosely on Rudyard Kipling’s series of stories and inspired off the 1967′s Diseny film of the same name, The Jungle Book follows Mowgli, an orphaned human boy who, guided by his animal guardians, sets out on a journey of self-discovery while evading the threatening Shere Khan the tiger. As a baby, he first witnesses his father’s death by the fangs of Shere Khan and is brought to the wolves by Bahgeera, the panther.

I finally got to see it on my birthday, Sept 8th since I had been planning to watch it ever since it came on Netflix. Thought, “Well it’s my birthday, might as well celebrate the rest of it by having a movie night!”

I sat back and watched it on my computer and Omg! Is it an improvement compared to the old Disney film!

I will admit and people may hate me for this but I HATED the old Jungle Book movie! Where do I even BEGIN with the old film?! The characters are rather incompetent in taking care of a little boy! The main character is nothing but a brat that I want to slap! He’s rather useless, constantly complains he “wants to stay in the jungle”, yet proves over and over why he shouldn’t live there by endangering himself and others! The songs are annoying and I frickin hate the stupid “Beatles style” hair styles that a lot of the animals seem to have! It’s just an awful awful film!

 I get that it was old Disney then but shoot, Bambi and Cinderella were old Disney and I can watch those movies just fine! Shoot, I can watch the Black Cauldron and Sleeping Beauty, even the Aristocats without wanting to slam my head into the wall! Well okay, maybe not the Black Cauldron because of thar furry ugly thing, but you get what I mean.

The old movie was just outright annoying! If I had to pick my most hated Disney film ever, this would be the one! The only good thing about the old movie was Shere Khan and Kaa, because they wanted to kill and eat all of the characters! That would have been a happy ending for me!

In the 2016 remake was like a breath of fresh air! They fixed all the problems of the old film!

I’ll start with the main character Mowgli. I like this version of Mowgli. Sure he complains about staying in the jungle and causes some trouble, but he’s smart and does think about others that want to protect him, unlike the old animated version of him. He’s a kid so he’s not gonna be perfect, but he also learns from his mistakes. Plus, he does some pretty clever things that make him more deserving to live in the jungle. He invents and tinkers with things (called “tricks” by the other animals) and uses his brain rather than just full out brawn. He knows he’s not a wolf despite wanting to be one, so he resorts to creating things by whatever he can find and making use of whatever he can make out of it.

I like how the story focuses not just on him going to the man village and having an adventure, but on his development as a person. Does he belong in the man village since he creates things or can such things co-exist with nature peacefully?

Also like how it focuses on the other characters and their development as well.

Bagheera is my favorite character in this movie. I like how wise he is and yet, he doesn’t just scorn everyone he comes across like in the old movie. He scorns when it is needed but gives credit when credit is due and even helps Baloo out as a friend. Plus he’s gorgeous to look at! I gotta give them props for the animation in this!

Baloo is a mix bag for me. I kinda like the idea that they made him kind of a con-artist instead of a “papa bear”. This may turn people off if they like the old film. I personally thought he was alright. Kinda like Charlie from “All Dogs go to Heaven” without being a complete ass hole.

Raksha is another favorite character of mine. Again, sweet but scorning when need to be. A lot of people may think she’s too soft or a little damsel-ish when facing with Shere Khan, which is a little unlike her in the original book, where she full out threatens to tear Shere Khan a part and insults him. 

To me, Raksha in the film makes more sense. She’s fierce and will even tell off Shere Khan when need be, but she’s also smart for backing down. She knows if something were to happen to her, her pups will die. She has to bow down sometimes, because she can’t take down a tiger on her own and she needs to survive so her pups can survive. She’s a mother and mothers need to be both protective and smart and that’s exactly what Raksha is.

 In some ways, she sorta reminds me of Sarabi from the Lion King. A fierce hunter and kind mother that’s forced down by a tyrant that has taken over. Speaking of which...

This version of Shere Khan is the best version ever! Well okay, I like Shere Khan in “Jungle Cubs”, despite he was demoted to “bully” as a cub than fiercest villain, but in terms of actual villains, this guy puts Scar and old Shere Khan to shame! When you see him in the film, you know he’s out for blood! 

Unlike in the film, where you just hear about how brutal he is in the old movie, you actually get to see the brutality. He’s smart and intelligent like old Shere Khan and Scar is, but unlike those films, he keeps his brutality and smarts to the very end! He doesn’t just act it, he knows it, he keeps calm until he turns for the kill! He let’s everyone know why he is to be feared!

Now I can understand that, just hearing about how brutal and how everyone is afraid is part of the charm of Shere Khan in the old movie. However, I personally like to actually see a villain act upon it their villainy, rather than just flaunt it. Otherwise, it just seems like a load of hot air and not categorize as a real villain.

The other characters are decent as well. I love this movie’s version of Kaa, but I wish they actually had more of her. She appears in one scene and never does again. It’s like she’s on advertisement and in the trailers but she only appears in that one moment. At least have her sing that song “Trust in Me”. I love to hear that song in her voice!

I don’t mind Kaa being female in this version either, as you could probably tell. I mean, Kaa is a snake! Who the hell cares what gender a snake is? It’s a frickin snake and awesome snake at that!

King Louie...eh...You could have taken him out and it wouldn’t make much of a difference. Granted I like this version of King Louie a lot better than the old film, but the song was kinda there just to wink at the old audience of the older film. It just didn’t do it for me. 

The animation in this is spot on! I mean it is gorgeous! This movie reminds me a lot of the Lion King, because everything is on a grand scale! It feels massive and important! You really feel like you’ve been taken to the jungle! It feels like you can touch everything, it just feels so real!

The only complaint is when some of the animals talk or about to, it seems a bit off at times, especially when they show Baloo in the water, he moves more like an animatronic robot than an actual bear. Baloo especially seems off to me most of the time,regardless if he talks or not. This can be a little distracting but it doesn’t bother me enough to ruin the movie for me.

The movie also tries to wink at the audience at times by putting some of the old songs in and yeah...They don’t really fit in there too well. I wish they had left it out, except “Trust In Me”. 

So, yeah I do recommend this movie if you’re not so much a fan of the original film, as they did change a lot but for me, who hates the old film, it’s definitely an improvement. It does feel like a Disney Renaissance movie. It’s fun and funny at times, it has it’s flaws but is still full of heart, a pretty strong message of self discovery and really likable characters. It gets dark when needs to be but still have a light tone. I definitely give this film 8 1/2 out of 10 stars! Rather high, but that’s how much I enjoyed this film!

 Grab your stuffed animals, get into your best jungle gear and give it a watch when you can!

8 1/2 Stars!

Level: Great!
