Improper Disposal AU

Post-Canon Epic Mickey story idea where Wapeach (the actual scrapped version from the Nintendo Archive Leaks (at least I think she was part of that whole deal. could be misremembering)) somehow becomes a resident of Wasteland despite not being in any way connected to Disney, and this sets events into motion that will change Wasteland forever.

She ends up landing on the far side of Mickeyjunk Mountain instead of whatever the equivalent to Disneyland's main entrance is like everyone else, probably due to the whole "actually from Nintendo" thing. Oswald's Card Guards alert him about the situation and he heads over to greet her and bring her over to Wasteland Proper, both because he makes sure to give every newly arrived Forgotten Toon a warm welcome (and an explanation of what's happened to them) and because there's no way he's letting a kid wander around lost in a literal pile of garbage any longer than he has to.

Of course, when he actually gets there he has to contend with a short-tempered, egotistical brat with an axe almost as big as her superiority complex. Doesn't change the goals but it does change the gameplan.

He does eventually calm her down enough to explain to her exactly where she is and why she's there, teach her how to use the Projector Screen portals (luckily since she was supposed to be a Mario character she picks up the platforming quick), and give her a tour of Ostown and Mean Street. Then they try to figure out where she's going to live now that she's there, but with her rather unpleasant personality and a sort of Off-ness about her compared to everyone else due to the whole "from a different company" thing, it doesn't exactly go well.

Eventually she blows her top, causes some property damage, declares that she'll make everyone sorry for rejecting her (technically they haven't (well, most of them), but she's a kid and she's been scrapped twice. she really doesn't take it well when she thinks she's being rejected or ignored), and runs back to Mickeyjunk to hide from Oswald (who is understandably worried about her) and find a good spot to build an Evil Lair.

So now Wasteland has a preteen D-list supervillain. Joy.

Anyway, a few misadventures later she's got this nagging feeling that something's missing (you know, besides all the obvious stuff) and ends up remembering that she was supposed to be teamed up with Wario and Waluigi. Obviously, the real deals aren't an option, so she gets inspiration from Oswald's Animatronic versions of Mickey's friends, hunts down and dismantles some of the local Beetleworx so she can reverse-engineer them (both Wario and Waluigi are pretty good with machines, I thought it would make sense if she was too). The result is robotic versions of Wario and Waluigi she calls "Nontendroids." Nontendroid Wario's main "not quite Wario) features are that he has a big tire instead of legs and big hydraulic forearms, while Nontendroid Waluigi's are a blunt claw for a left hand and an extra pair of long retractable bare-metal appendages that stick out of his back and can have pretty much any tool you can think of attached to the ends. Just like the Animatronics, they act pretty much exactly like their real-life templates (though with some added behaviors based on their status as robots and the new abilities that provides).

Anyway, this is all leading to a Big Event, the kind of Big Event that Mickey would come back over to help with, but this is what you get for now because it's 5 am and I'm tired.

it's just really funny to me to imagine Fabian actually being a great big brother honorable nemesis.

like, putting a nemesis ward on the nursery with aelwyn's help since "it won't do if they die before their eighteenth birthday, will it?" (aelwyn, deeply sarcastic: "well of course, that is exactly why I put the ward on adaine's room." fabian, too deep in denial for sarcasm: "see? you get it")

gifting them a battle sheet baby blanket since they should start preparing for their battle early on (and yes it's extra fluffy, it's for a baby stop laughing everybody)

generally trying to teach them everything he knows "so their battle to the death will be a fair one"

giving their adventuring party the same lecture on tactics that the bad kids got from his papa

hunting down chungledown bim and any other nemesis so his sibling is the only one who could get a piece of his fund (he just wants it to stay in the family, shut up)

just. fabian being an amazing big brother but also if you call him that to his face he will cut you

Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!

Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*

Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!

Hey, if you have speech impediments, you are so amazing.

If you stutter or have a lisp or misspeak easily or you have a flat affect or a limited verbal vocabulary or if your voice is AAC or if you just have a difference in your vocality, you are so incredibly important and amazing.

Just know that your voice is yours. Nobody will ever be able to truly take it away. Your voice is part of you, and you deserve to make it as true to you as you deem fit. I hope you have the space to grow with your voice and whatever about it makes it unique.

Nico and Percy's dynamic through the series is eternally funny to me, because it's just. like.

Percy's having a constant mental struggle between his fatal flaw of loyalty with a promise he made to Bianca to protect Nico, versus his Big 3 kid desire to maim other Big 3 kids / Poseidon descendant urge to totally maim Nico specifically. He hates Nico so so much. He thinks Nico's annoying and weird at best, and creepy/sketchy when he's older. The only positive thoughts Percy has towards Nico are "He's Bianca's brother and Bianca was my friend and I owe her/He's Hazel's brother and Hazel is my friend and would kill me if I was mean to him," "He's a powerful asset and useful ally (if questionable)," and "He's kinda pathetic and I feel maybe a little bad about it." Percy has multiple occasions throughout the series where he strongly considers - and on one occasionally actually goes through with - throttling Nico.

Meanwhile, Nico is following around Percy like a lost puppy. He explicitly can never bring himself to even dislike anything about Percy no matter how hard he tries. He has a whole bit in BoO where he's mentally going "UGH he's so stupid BUT IT'S ENDEARING HOW DARE HE." He's totally smitten. He's making deals with his dad for Percy. He's making convoluted plans to help Percy stand a chance against Kronos. During the entirety of BoTL it's like he's playing tsundere - "I'm helping NOT PERCY SPECIFICALLY with this quest! Me helping Percy would be SILLY because I DEFINITELY HATE HIM." Then he proceeds to show up to Percy's birthday party to basically ask him on a weird date and spend the entire next book scrambling around trying to help him or protect him or impress him. And Percy could not give less of a shit.

Just. That dynamic is so funny to me. Percy is the founder of the Nico Protection Club in that he's the one they're all protecting Nico from and meanwhile Nico is throwing himself at Percy to the point where the literal god of gay love calls him out on it.
