I’m wishing (Rook Hunt X Reader)

Note: Gn reader, Movie Au. Don’t worry Vil, you’ll be the hero of your own story soon(I hate how I made him so villainous TvT) Thank you to my friend @simping-myjob for the ideas!

***

You hummed lightly as you wiped the garden’s rock floor. The aching in your back had became almost unnoticeable after all these years of labor. Ever since your mother died, it had been your daily life.

“ Wanna know a secret? Promise not to tell? We are standing by a wishing well Make a wish into the well That's all you have to do And if you hear it echoing Your wish will soon come true ”

You sang to the critters who usually followed you around. You reached the well, and played with the effect it gave your voice.

“ I'm wishing (I'm wishing) For the one I love To find me (to find me) Today (today) I'm hoping (I'm hoping) And I'm dreaming of The nice things (the nice things) He'll say (he'll say) Ah-hahahaha (ah-hahahaha) Ah-hahahaha (ah-hahahaha) Ah-hahahaha (ah-hahahaha) Ah-hahahahahahaha I'm wishing (I'm wishing) For the one I love To find me (to find me) Today ”

Not so far, a man back from the hunt on his white horse had gotten his attention caught by an angelic voice. Surely, the user of the voice was as beautiful as the melody itself! He just had to find out who it was.

Climbing the castle was as easy as 1 2 3. On the other side, he found his assumption hasn’t been wrong.

You were hunched back on the well, singing to your heart’s content. He popped by you, joining the song.

“ Today Now that I've found you Hear what I have to say One song I have but one song One song Only for you ”

You stopped, backing away from the stranger.

“Oh, I didn’t mean to startle you.” He tried to appease you.

But unconvinced, you ran to your balcony. From behind the curtains, you observed the strange man. He was continuing the song, serenading you from below. Charmed, you slowly pushed the curtains back and sang with him.

“ One heart Tenderly beating Ever entreating Constant and true One love That has possessed me One love Thrilling me through One song My heart keeps singing Of one love Only for you ”

From the adjacent window, you saw your stepfather, Vil, look at you both with poison in his eyes. Frightened, you raced back to your chambers.

***

“You must Kill the person who surpassed me in beauty and bring me their heart in this box.”

Rook was receiving his orders from the King. Although he already knew the answer, having experienced it firsthand, he dared to ask:

“May I demand who is this person, Roi du Poison?

-My stepchild. Now go, and do not deceive me.”

Rook left the throne room, his own heart pounding in his chest. How could he ever bring himself to eliminate such ethereal beauty? There was only one thing left to do.

***

Your cape floated behind you as you skipped through the woods. Squirrels, mice and birds followed your footsteps as you danced. They froze as the sound of a twig breaking came from your left.

“Be not afraid, Beauté, for I come in peace.”

You relaxed as the sight of a familiar face.

“But there is still danger. You see, Roi du Poison has sent me to kill you and take your heart. But how can I manage this when you already have mine?”

He took both your hands and approached his face to yours.

“Run away with me, Beauté. Together we will discover the wonders of the world!

-Oh, that sounds lovely. But may I know your name first, dear hunter of mine?

-It’s Rook Hunt, Beauté.”

He carried you bridal style to his horse. It began galloping into the unknown forest.

***

After a day of walking, you stumbled upon a small cottage. It was horribly dirty, and no one seemed to be home, so you the two of you made it your goal to restore it’s splendor.

When the sun was setting, the owners of the house came back. They were seven little men, by the name of Epel, Sebek, Deuce, Kalim, Silver, Jack and Ace. After a lot of begging, they allowed you to stay. You spent the night dancing and singing, Ace making a fool of himself, causing everyone around to laugh.

Three days later, when the men went to the mine and Rook to hunt, you were left alone to take care of the house. An old man presented himself to the door.

“Why hello, young gent, he spoke in a trembling voice. I am a merchant from far away, will you buy one of my apples?

-They look rather juicy. They will be perfect for the pies I’m making!”

Suddenly, the birds began attacking the poor old man. You quickly ran out of the cottage and chased them away.

“Aren’t you ashamed of yourselves! He did nothing wrong!

-Oh, my old heart. Please bring me inside so I can rest.

-Of course, come!”

You helped him sit on a chair and brought a cup of water.

“I am so sorry, you apologised. They don’t normally act like this.

-It’s not a problem. As a thank you, I want you to take this apple. But be aware! It is not a normal one. Oh no. This is an apple that can make all of your dreams come true with one. Single. Bite.

-Really?

-Yes, yes! Try it!”

Taking the fruit from his hand, you slowly took it to your mouth and closed it, revealing the unnatural pearl white flesh under the bright red skin. Immediately, your body went limp and you fell to the ground, lifeless.

***

Meanwhile, the critters had gone to fetch Rook and the seven men. The hunter’s footsteps echoed through the trees, because he knew what was going on. The King had found his Bien-aimé, and he had to reach you before he could. When he arrived, the King, who had taken the form of a repulsing old man, was trying to run off by the mountains.

But he did not care, the only thing he needed right now was to see you. He slammed the door open, gasping as he noticed your body on the floor. He took you in his arms, crying about the loss of his Dearest. He took his lips to yours and gave you a last kiss.

Under his astonished sight, your eyes fluttered open.

“Why are you crying, my Love? you cupped his face in your hands.

-Because I love you, Beauté.”

He smiled and kissed you again.

***

When the men came back, you learned that the King had met his demise. You were relieved he wouldn’t be a threat anymore.

You both stayed at the cottage, where you founded a family and lived happily ever after.

Have a good day/night!

Imagine Wembley singing "I'm Wishing" while looking into a pond...Boober hears it and, like it or not, Sidebottom makes him sing: "Today!"

Let the poor man rest.

You know I used to think "tumblr's absolute refusal to actually engage with the Trolley Problem in favor of insisting that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is just a short-sighted idiot is really fucking annoying, but I guess it's not actually doing any harm".

Anyway that was before we asked tumblr at large to decide between "guy aiding a genocide but making progress elsewhere" and "guy who would actively and enthusiastically participate in a genocide and would also make everything else much, much worse for everyone elsewhere" and the response was that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and that anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is a short-sighted idiot.

Ive been thinking about this trend but instead of metaphorical items and junk its just me attempting diff artstyles

(btw thanks for @desklamper for compiling this) (Artists: @bamsara @runningwithscizzorz @konjkitkatty @donutfloats @acis-arts @aveloka-draws @lambment @unwri-ten @stychu-stych @dogiperson + me at the end)

I'M GONNA KILL MYSELF

[jq37]

You gotta hand it to Fig. All of the Bad Kids were given foils this season and they got to decide how much they wanted to engage with that part of the plot. Gorgug only interacted with Mary Ann in passing despite them both being on the Owlbears. Fabian noped out of chatting up Ivy once she crossed a line with Mazey. Riz was so busy that he truly had no time to engage with Kipperlilly even though she's obsessed with him. Kristen interacted a bit with Buddy but spent way more time verbally sparring with Kipperlilly. And Adaine was somewhat interested in Oisin but never overtly acted on it.

But Fig?

She's in Ruben's WALLS. She's in his DREAMS. She's faking her alter emo's death. She's got the Fantasy FBI after her. She's SO SO tiny. No one is doing it like Fig's doing it.

It's just guys night talk! Don't worry about it!

(Read Tiger Tiger and shake this man awake so he can finish that thought!)

I think it would be funny if their reunion basically went like this

[pokimoko]

I can't keep being fundamentally changed as a person by animated movies, it's just not sustainable.

[wearenotjustnumbers2]

This child in gaza is screaming:

"I wish it was a dream. Oh, mom and dad. I wish it was a dream and my mom and dad are still alive" after being rescued from underneath the rubble to find his parents killed by Israel.

Share this, we are not numbers. Let our voices be heard in hopes that this stops.
