#i know people like that merida doesn't end up with anyone and to those people I say zzzzzzzzzzzz

[hampop]

Every time I rewatch Brave, I'm compelled to re-write it. AU where an older Merida's spell sends her back in time to Mor'du's era and, in helping him mend the relationship with his family, she learns how to face her own problems. Add a little, ill-fated, tragic romance between the two of them for flavor.

(I have to wait a couple days for my art blog posts to show up in tags so I'll put it here)

[tulipsnflowers]

Okay, guys, you want me to go on about the most pointless things?

Let's go on about Byeol (and a bit about Fane, I suppose), because I am going insane

Alright everyone, for those unaware, this is Byeol:

This is a tyrant in Nexomon: Extinction, his name is Byeol. The problem about this, however.

He isn't a story tyrant, and this... Makes me very interested in him.

Amelie calls Tyrants super powerful Nexomon, but here's the thing. According to Coco, Jin blocked off the entrance to Fenrir's tomb so that no more Tyrants may be hatched

Lydia also says to go bother Nadine because of the egg, and keep in mind, the grass Tyrant is Tikala. A warden. Probably because Deena didn't necessarily want to add fuel to the fire

So then we are already established that Tyrants are probably always hatched.

... So then what of Fane and especially Byeol?

(And there's no Psychic Tyrants because... Solus would be too lil to bonk an egg, and nobody would ask a random kid to do so.)

Well, let's go with the easier one, in which I ask yet again, what's up with the Ghost type? I've wanted to throw hands about it for a long time.

(Ulzar says that the reason Nexomon are, well, a thing is because of the Children of Omnicron. So it makes sense, right? 7 children, 7 elements)

Psychic is a bit trickier because of the fact Mystogen exists. And if we're going of the fact Solus made the psychic type...

Putting a pin in that, rant for another day.

So... What of Ghost?

Well. That's not the point of the post and that's my motivation for writing Doubts.

But! Moving on, Fane. Well, with the assumption they come from eggs, well frick. There's no ghost primordial.

... Which is why I can't speak much of it. We can surely just blame Hilda

... Do you know who we have more of?

Byeol.

Well. Let's see then.

Byeol is a normal type in Palmaya, first and foremost.... We are back to James everyone, anyone who's talked to me isn't surprised

Hi new people, James is how we call the Nexolord on this side of the fandom, moving on.

Assuming that James isn't dead and we take into account this from Nadine:

Well, who am I to argue with Nadine? (Granted, she could mean Grunda or Deena , but.)

.. So, in today's rant. Byeol and Metta, woooo.

First of all, he is in Palmaya(and later around the Orphanage as of the Abyssals but we can put a pin in that because, Abyssals) , which, is definitely not the frozen tundra

But, Merida is in the frozen Tundra, and Atlanta's Tyrant is frosty enough to argue Merida bonked the egg there.

.. So then, Palmaya's free, ey?

Well. That's interesting, further on, I am going to need to grab Metta for a moment

Hello bowling ball, I still think you should be an Armodillo.

Moving on, see this man? Until his siblings he is, unfortunately, not an animal

My only logic conclusion, looking at this man(if we don't take my other James theory into account), is that he's supposed to be a kind of biblically accurate angel, just, ribbons not wings (Thanks for the association Azzie, your hands are red too)

... HMMMM who ELSE has wings and is a normal type...

... WELL THEN.

Additionally, I must point out, Metta has 7 ribbons. If we count the bottom pointy Byeol has he has 8.

... Well, it just happens an additional type is added this time, to bump it from 7 to 8(we already went over why I think Ghost might not count)

.. So then.

And. Well, let's look at it this way. Nivalis and Arqua, they don't look the same. Fona and Mulcimer, er. The closest we have is Ventra and Eurus.

... And, well, Solus and Nara, but surely not

... Byeol could've been a kangaroo or something, but instead-

They're both inanimate object things I can't make sense of. I know Ross said that he was just inspired to make a star thing, but-

... Hm.

What am I trying to say? Nothing really. At the end of the day these are coincidences, likely

Like, n3 protag and James both have a blue hair strand, but that doesn't mean they're like, immediately necessary related kind of thing

... Just makes you think.

(Also, this stated when I made a joking like toddler Byeol human version, and I saw the white hair and went like "...wait")

fic tid bits

alrighty so ive been working on this fic for awhile now and I wanted to talk about it a little bit

(i dont have a solid release date or anything but I have written the first few chapters)

its based off of these designs i did a few months ago

i will be changing them all a little bit to better fit the tone of the fic but those are the general vibes

its a dark fantasy setting with inspiration pulled from stuff like the witcher 3 and Castlevania (the series)

the first few chapters are more focused on rapunzel but it moves into all of their povs as things go along

as for the characters heres a quick summary

Rapunzel has lived all her life in a tower kept safe from a "broken world" by her dear mother. For 18 years she believed that the world was overrun by creatures created from a magic historical event known as the Evernight (that name might change). When her Mother doesn't return home on her 18th she fears the worst and quickly learns that her Mother's version of history isn't quite accurate.

All Merida ever wanted was to be free. Her Mother had always blathered on about the cost of that freedom but it took first-hand experience to really make the point clear. A terrible mistake set a curse on her clan with Merida the only one left to escape and pick up the pieces. Now she hunts a Fae who can fix what she's done.

Nearly dying is bound to leave a sour taste in anyone's mouth. And let's just say Hiccup has had his fair share of experiences. He left his old life behind a long time ago to pursue the one thing that's really important, stopping his clan, the hunters. When a typical trade bust goes sideways he ends up the unwilling guide of some rather strange individuals.

You'd think being a powerful fae's apprentice would be an amazing deal, but Jack might have to disagree. For the last six years, he's studied to become a mage in the Capital, invisible to the public eye until his graduation as tradition calls. But his studies are frustrating and the path he walks is lonely until a favour pulls him into the life he's always wanted, one where people see him.

if you guys have any questions pls lemme know I rlly would love to talk about this thing its been rattling around in my brain for awhile now

[hotboxd]

ok i already know what you look like i know i know but i need to practice descriptive writing for english so just ignore this

ahem i just realised how bad i am at describing things

you’ve got a tan complexion. not too far off from a good chocolate hazelnut ice cream i’d say. but not like a gelato and definitely not those cheap ones. the ones that roast the hazelnuts and use real chocolate. you have long hair. like long long. it’s really pretty though and you keep it very nice. it’s dark, i’d say between a black and a brown but leaning on the black side but it’s definitely kinda brown i’d say. oh gosh i haven’t seen you in a while this is kinda blurry ok. your hair is slightly curly, not like merida and more like wavy than curly. i think it’s kinda thick? not so thick as to say “gosh that hair could pierce my skin” but like it’s full. how do you maintain it during volleyball? your face shape is kinda like, oh i just realised i know nothing about face shapes, a house turned upside down? it’s straight down around the sides and then it angles off into the centre and a little flat at the chin? does that even make sense? oh well i won’t be describing anyones face shape anytime soon. you’ve got really pretty eyes. they’re dark and, i don’t know how to say this without it sounding like a joke, mesmerising really. i cant tell if you have a double lid or a mono-lid i don’t remember that detailed. you’ve got eyebrows but they’re like not transparent like mine they’re eyebrows. i have no idea how to describe a nose and a mouth they’re just a nose and a mouth? i swear you have a beauty mark somewhere but i don’t remember where. you’ve got a nose and a mouth i don’t know how to describe them it’s a nose and a mouth and they’re like a nose and a mouth. oh and you’re tall, like freakishly tall. ok that’s it i couldn’t think of anything more ily mwah <3

- ding ding ding!! my skin's on the hazel side, and it's a bit darker than what my mother's and sisters skin tones look like. they're all quite pale, but not like white people pale if you get what i mean? like cream with the tiniest amount of brown in it. - people tend to get so confused when it comes to my hair length, they're always asking why it's so long and if i've never cut it, to which i almost always say no, i haven't. but i'll let you in on a secret, when i was like six or so i'd gone at my hair with a pair of those patterned safety scissors, you know those ones? the type that cut squiggly lines? i remember my mom getting so pissed at me for cutting 'such beautiful hair' which confused me to no end because it's just hair?? anyways, my hair is pretty thick, and in volleyball i usually tie it up or braid it so it doesn't get in the way. - a house turned upside down is a.... surprisingly accurate way of putting it. - funnily enough, a lot of people have complimented me on my eyes before. i remember when i was little my grandfather's friends would always say i had his eyes, and so do my parents. but a compliment from you about my eyes somehow flatters me more then anyone else's did. i don't think i have a monolid or a double lid, but eye shapes aren't exactly something i'm well versed in, so maybe i'm wrong. - ding ding!! i have a beauty mark where beauty marks stereotypically are, it's right under my bottom lip. i have one on my left temple too, and a dozen other places, which is weird, considering none of my family has any beauty marks, like absolutely zero.

gah thank you for sending an ask this one was really nice to read !! anyways i have to go to sleep now so goodnight darling <33 love, j.d

Adding Characters to the Big Four (RotBTD)

I've already made a post about just "How the Big Four Work so well (discussion)" which talks about their personalities are and what their stories have in common, as well as what criteria they follow.

So if you want to understand exactly what I'm talking about I'd recommend you read this first:

Now I'm gonna go into what characters would fit and why. So if you want to add other movies to this world, I would recommend Moana, Epic, The Croods or maybe even Hotel Transylvania and here's why:

Moana – Begins with narration but ends with a song. Although it's a song that sums up what Moana had learned and what her people have now become. So it is, its own form of narration. She also goes through the journey of finding herself by becoming a wayfinder like her ancestors.

Moana definitely adds to the groups resources with being friends with the ocean, knowing about the realm of monsters and being friends with Maui & Te Fiti. She would definitely get along great with the big four friend dynamic in many ways.

Hiccup: through their ability to lead and quick thinking. They also both understand what it's like to grow up on an island with their fathers being the leader who expects certain things from them.

Rapunzel: because they understand going against a parent's wishes and working to make their dreams/wishes come true. They also have the same type of bubbly personality and would converse well.

Jack: they both understand what if feels like to be chosen for something they feel they're not ready for and what it feels like to be an outsider from the people around them.

Merida: their tough and somewhat playful nature as well as their diplomacy skills match each other so well. They'd definitely be the closest of the group because of their strong personalities.

Out of a friend group consisting of: the girly-girl, a troublemaker a nerd and a tomboy, she fits into the literary dynamic through being the 'athlete.' In battle, consisting of: a leader/strategist, a healer, a sniper(bow and arrow) and a speed fighter, Moana fits in as the 'close combatant' in battle.

The magic also can still follow the guidelines of rotg. They speak about Gods but what if there really aren't any? The only 'God' we see is Te Fiti, who is the bringer of life. Or in other words; Mother Nature. The God that had raised Maui could've actually been the man in the moon and that would be how Maui was given magic and doesn't age. He goes around, calling himself a demigod but in reality, he's a spirit. And of course he's able to be seen since everyone on Motunui believes in the demi/gods.

Seasonally, Moana would most obviously be put in summer. But there are a lot of people who feel that adding more characters to the big four kind of breaks the seasonal aspect and that's fine.

But here me out.

The seasons effect the land on earth but if Moana is a spirit of the ocean, then she's effecting the rest of the earth's surface. The ocean doesn't necessarily have seasons so you don't need to apply one to her in order for her to add to the group. BOOM! Loophole!

I believe she's the BEST additional choice out of them all. Plus she'd definitely be chosen to become a guardian because *cough cough* SHE SAVED THE WORLD FROM DECAY.

Eep – A lot of applications for Moana fit for Eep too. She has narration at the beginning and end of her film. She'd fit in literarily as the 'athlete' and battle-wise as 'close constant/brawler.'

She also kind of has an arc of finding herself by leaving her cave days behind and following the light with her family. And being that she's from the caveman days –a time even before Moana– she could definitely add to the group with her survival skills.

Eep's dynamic with the others would be:

Hiccup: he understands overly strong women and would be able to keep up with her. She also has an innocent side to her and would be enthralled with his inventions. She'd just sit there and watch him work 😆

Rapunzel: being that Eep is getting a new friend in Dawn (who reminds me of Rapunzel) in "The Croods 2," I would imagine Rapunzel would also be intrigued with Eep's scars/adventures and Eep would be more than happy to boast.

Merida: their roughness and competitive nature would make them the best frienemies. They'd be closer than ever but do nothing but wrestle and compete.

Jack: like how Eep would boast with Rapunzel, Jack would boast with Eep. She would be in love with Jack's magic and he'd be more than happy to show off.

There really isn't a magical aspect to compare with rotg so the world can still fit into the dynamic here.

Eep is witty, optimistic, energetic, speaks without thinking and fails to plan ahead a lot. Therefore, as a seasonal spirit, Eep would bring spring.

MK – Begins with narration but doesn't really have any at the end. She can add to the groups resources by knowing about the leafmen and the whole mini society, of course.

The magic also stays in line with rotg and it probably helps that the creator of Epic was also the author of the Guardians of Childhood books that inspired rotg. The moon is what blooms the pod, so it's possibly the man in the moon passing his magic into the pod so it gives the next queen her powers.

In the literary dynamic, MK would be the 'city girl' friend-wise and the 'reanforcement' fight-wise. Getting along with the rest would be:

Hiccup: she would be a sense of familiarity with MK's dad being a scientist and Nod's sarcastic nature. Hiccup would also be very intrigued to learn more about the Moonhaven kingdom.

Merida: their stubbornness and being able to understand having a parent that doesn't listen.

Rapunzel: their (new) love for nature and exploring. As well as being able to understand the pain of losing a loved one.

Jack: understanding the feeling of being invisible to the people around you. MK definitely felt this way after her mom died and when her dad wasn't listening. She mentioned how she felt alone to Ronan when he brought up the "many leaves, one tree," line.

I believe she could've been chosen to become a guardian because she did save an entire society and forest. Seasonally, I believe MK would be made into a fall spirit. There are certain places that relate to or even represent the seasons. When you think of Fall, you think of trees. Spring relates to a field/garden, summer relates to a beach and winter relates to just about everything being in snow, but usually frozen bodies of water. She's also very dependable, willing to work, disagreeable and easily irritated. All traits that relate to Autumn.

Mavis – Probably the least workable candidate. There really isn't any narration in this movie and she also doesn't really "find herself" either so her movie criteria don't really work here.

But her character criteria still does. The magic still fits because we know that spirits are created by the man in the moon. If we go by the GoC books, the mim is alien magic. But who's to say that earth didn't have its own magic in the form of monsters (which can also fit for the realm of monsters from Moana.) So the magical dynamic still works.

She could also add to the group by knowing about monsters as well as being a vampire herself. She could turn into a bat or travel as smoke to sneak around places to find information if need be.

She'd fit in literarily as the 'gothic (not so much as personality but by style)' friend-wise and the 'sneak attacker' fight-wise. Getting along with the rest would be:

Jack: there are many takes on the Jack Frost myth and in a few of those takes, he's a monster. The reason for this could be because Jack has come across Hotel Transylvania and the monsters could see him (not being human and all) and he befriended Mavis, knowing she was lonely. They have the same type of fun personality and are both great with balancing tricks. I can imagine Jack getting Mavis into trouble through pranking the hotel guests.

Rapunzel: they'd both be able to understand being locked up in some way by a parent and wanting to travel the world. They both also have naiveties about the real world and would be learning things for the first time together.

Merida: through their daily activities and love for food. I could imagine them trying each other's scream-cheese and haggis😂 I'd also imagine Merida being the one to help Mavis socially catch up.

Hiccup: much like Eep, she'd be incredibly intrigued by Hiccups inventions. I think she'd even try anything to assist him while he's testing certain things. I can imagine him also being the one to help Mavis socially catch up as well.

She's very curious, friendly, energetic and tender-hearted as well as undecided and talkative. So seasonally, she too, would go to spring. She unfortunately can't go into sunlight but there are plants that actually do better in darkness. That would be where she specializes.

I hope you all like this. I hope you find this whole thing very interesting and informational. If you have any other characters you think could add to the big four, I'd love to hear it.
