Rest in peace, Bodo Wolf (1944-2023)

Alright, here comes some suggestions…

Based on the fairy tale:

La belle et la bête (live action; 1946) Belle to Kaijuu Ouji (puppet animation; 1976) Beauty and the Beast (live action; 1976) Die Schöne und das Tier (puppet animation; 1976) Panna a netvor (live action; 1978) Skønheden og dyret (puppet animation; 1989) Die Schöne und das Biest (live action; 2012) La belle et la bête (live action; 2014)

Based on fairy tales similar to Beauty and the Beast:

Der Prinz hinter den sieben Meeren (live action; 1982) Kvitebjørn kong Valemon (live action; 1991)

Inspired by the fairy tale:

Meridian: Kiss of the Beast (live action; 1990) - Be aware, though… It's not a good movie!

So like, does anyone have any good Beauty and the Beast type movies to recommend? I've seen all four Disney movies (the original, the two DVD sequels, and the live-action remake), Belle (the anime), Blood of Beasts (a low budget Viking movie), Beauty and the Beast (the series starring Ron Perlman and Linda Hamilton), I am Dragon (a Russian movie about a dragon), The Shape of Water (the Del Toro movie that everyone needs to watch at least once in their life), Penelope (Christina Ricci movie where the girl is actually the 'beast'), Corpse Bride (the stop motion musical about a dead woman trying to marry a living man), Warm Bodies (Zombie!Romeo x Survivor!Juliet), Edward Scissorhands (needs no introduction), Bram Stoker's Dracula (the sexy one with Gary Oldman), the Shrek quadrilogy (even if only the first one really fits the mold), and I'm going to include TAU on this list (a movie about a kidnapped girl, a sadistic scientist, and a tortured AI) because you can't convince me that it wasn't a love story.

I love Beauty and the Beast and stories that are similar, so any recommendations are appreciated.

(Also, if you want to count Phantom of the Opera as a Beauty and the Beast story, I've seen the 1943 version, the Robert Englund version, half of the Julian Sands version (it was really bad), and the Gerard Butler musical version.)

Hey. Hey acclaimed podcaster John Watson MD. I need you to stop talking about how big and tall those cliffs are. I need you to stop talking about how a fall from those cliffs would kill you. I need you to stop talking to Sherlock about the cliff. Please I’m begging you.

in general trying to write a fully canon-compliant wol, as i conceive it, is an interesting project because the wol's life involves such a staggering amount of direct interpersonal violence it is almost beyond comprehension. the only people in the real world who did anything comparable are like, certain executioners for totalitarian states, and that's obviously a very different form of violence.

and like obviously combat in FFXIV should not in any way be taken as a 1:1 with real world violence, not least because the game repeatedly points to the idea that combat can in some sense be a joyous and glorious form of personal expression (as with ravana, susano, zenos, etc.), which doesn't really square with the reality of doing violence. but to even begin to conceive of a character who's capable of doing what the WoL does from ARR on and trying to take it somewhat seriously means basically making an extremely detached killing machine, who's fine using those skills for any rando willing to call the hit they're hiring you for a "quest".

it ends up dovetailing really nicely with the games as written, though; you start ARR being like "i am an instrument of violence directed by others :)" and not talking much or ever registering your own thoughts on anything, because who cares? you're a violence-doing machine. and then one of your friends gets mind-controlled and you gotta fight a might-makes-right fascist and you meet multiple people who think you personally are a really cool person with inherent value in their own right just by being a person and it's like, hm. maybe there are other ways to live. and that parallels really nicely with DRK in HW, and then you and alphinaud deciding that you are tired of endless sacrifices in the name of progress and you are going to save estinien, and then the WoL getting to walk into stormblood having really consciously chosen this fight rather than letting someone else choose for them.

obviously there are a lot of stories you can tell with your WoL but to me this is a big part of why my approach to it necessarily revolves primarily around violence and regret. you spend the core game and two expansions becoming a terrible angel of death and then get teleported to another world where you learn that some people literally consider you a psychopomp who escorts the dead to their final rests. then in the next expansion you meet someone who was unfortunate enough to be on the other end of things during your implacable killing machine days. THEN you accidentally cause the flower that symbolizes grief to be invented. the wol's whole life is haunted by overwhelming grief (mostly that of other people) and terrible violence (mostly their own).

Now, I know that Remus’ patronus is a wolf (in cannon, I mean— I usually headcannon it as a massive dog) because he’s a werewolf, but I don’t think that that would be his animagus form. I also don’t think that Lily’s patronus being a doe makes her animagus form a doe, because that’s boring as all hell.

Personally, I think that Remus’ animagus form would be either a mouse or a sheep. A mouse because they’re incredibly clever, but also very kind, and I find it funny to think that the werewolf’s animagus form is one of the smallest mammals out there, also he kind of just reminds me of a mouse (plus, it would be sweet to see Peter not being the tiniest Marauder— I think that him not being the smallest would’ve prevented him from building resentment and then betraying them). A sheep just for the irony of a wolf in sheep’s clothing puns.

I think that Lily’s animagus form would be a mountain lion. They’re notoriously good mothers, they’re strong, they’re fast, but they’re pretty nice (by big cat standards). Also, I just think the gives off big cat vibes. She’s either a mountain lion or a lioness.

Dec 16. Prompt: Holiday. Word count: 141. @wolfstarmicrofic

“Pad! Moon! Wake. Up!”

Harry is jumping on their bed at an ungodly hour. Remus squints to see that it’s 6:00AM and it’s still dark outside. He nudges Sirius with his elbow under the covers.

“Before sunrise, he’s your godson,” he mumbles to his husband.

Sirius smiles and, without opening his eyes, wraps his arm around Harry’s little waist so he falls between them, and starts kissing him all over his face and hair so fast.

“Pad, stooppp. We need to get up. It’s chri’mas! There’s presents from Santa!”

He wriggles out of his godfather’s arms and starts bouncing again.

“Get. Up.”

“We’re coming, prongslet.”

They may be tired from setting up the presents all night (and being woken up so early) but they wouldn’t have it any other way. Creating happy holiday memories with Harry was all that mattered.

[warpweight]

literally just chasing jrobyns + eve with speedruns of jrobyns + lily and jrobyns + colleen for maximum exposure to Pain. the cam with lily where he is visibly psyching himself up to go be sexy and normal at her? and there's a perfect closeup of STYDI and he's doing like spiteful microexpressions while also trying to pitch fear -> love to christine... the colleen one where she wakes up in the boat and you see a thought bubble above her head appear and inside it is a browser window where she's price-comparing harnesses? and then by final lair she's like chasing him around the house spritzing him with lighter fluid like he's a misbehaving cat? really good stuff in here folks!!!!

I finally managed to find a mink fabric in ivory/white so I was able to redo the bodies or the various tails I've made for my dolls.

For most I only had to swap the fabric of the tails' bodies, but for Lily's tail I had to redo the whole thing. I'd originally used way too thin wire for hers and I'd constructed it weirdly. No matter, after a multitude of tails made, I knew how to make a new tail, and fast. Amazing what trial and error plus experience does for skill.

All the tails are fully poseable, and attach by magnet to dolls. Most of them do not have embedded magnets, so I used some masking/painters tape to attach them under the clothing to the resin. Only Jamil (black tailed unicorn) has embedded magnets for the tail he came with, which made my life easier, heh.

The tails are constructed from aluminum armature wire, strong magnets, masking/painters tape, and the tail tips are tibetan lambskin mohair on the pelt still. Though Rose and Amethyst's tails have fake fur for their tiny tail tips.

Dolls are as follows:

Liam: Soom SG Chrom on DFA 65cm boy body with Soom Chrom fantasy legs from the knees down

Lily: Loongsoul ShenLuo Western White Tiger version

Celicon: Kana Dolls No.8 Lucien on Soom SG Heliot body

Jamil: Soom SG Heliot on a Dream Valley Apocalypse Horseman body

Amethyst & Rose: Doll Family-A BiBi twins
