#loved this so so much

[magicshopaholic]

Hey Cath, I just have begun reading your work with OCs x BTS and I love it, though I am much intrigued by Chaeyoung and Jhope so I am going through their masterlist first (hopefully this doesn't offend you!) but I want to know more about the OCs. Which Disney 'princess' would they identify with or like the most? Doesn't have to the official Disney princess, can be former or unofficial one!

So apparently this ask has been in my inbox for over a month but I never got a notification for it 😭 I’m so sorry for the delay, anon, but I love this question so much and I took a couple of extra days to think about this because it’s so interesting.

(Also, don’t worry about the masterlist thing. The reading order is there as a recommendation but you do you and I just hope you enjoy it 🥹)

Idolverse OCs as Disney (or Disney-adjacent) Princesses:

Kaya Madaan: My first pick is Tiana, because of their ambition, their perseverance and the fact that they still have room in their lives for love. Kaya and Tiana share a lot of similarities on that front, but I also think there's a little of Jane Porter in Kaya as well. They are both intellectuals and find love in a very unexpected place and even though it's a bit unconventional (a long-distance relationship in Kaya's case and cultural barriers), both work hard to bridge the gap and maintain their relationships. Her favourite princess would be Jasmine or Mulan.

Choi Nari: Nari is a tough one but if I have to choose, I would say she shares a lot with Merida. We see her mother constantly asking her about her relationships and setting her up with young men but Nari has been focused very much instead on her education and her residency, to the point where she has almost lost all sense of a personal life. She pushes away Seokjin and realises what she's done, but it's too late, forcing her to reflect on her own actions. I think they're both tough (Nari has to be, as a surgeon) but there's a lot of fear and vulnerability in them as well. Her favourite princess would be Rapunzel.

Kang Miso: I think the first impressions would probably be Cinderella or Rapunzel because of her family, but from a personality standpoint, I think she shares a lot with Elsa. While they are all isolated and the first two also face emotional abuse like Miso, Elsa shares her lack of self-confidence and tends to push away the people who try to help her (cue Yoongi feeling vindicated af). A large part of Miso's story is self-acceptance as much as escape, and a journey to finding a place in the world outside of her family's influence. Her favourite princess would be Merida or Jasmine.

Kang Chaeyoung: My sweet, wise Chaeyoung is a hundred percent Rapunzel (with a little bit of wise Belle), with her desire to explore the world, gain independence and constantly try new things. She moves to Seoul at a young age, makes friends at yoga class, gives her childhood nemesis a second chance and even though she has her baggage (her mother's death, her father comparing her to her brother, Hoseok's initial dismissal of her), she refuses to let that overshadow her own sense of self. Her favourite princess would be Ariel.

Kim Sooah: Sooah is also a hard one to place but if I had to choose a Disney princess, I would say she stands somewhere between Aurora and Anna. Anna initially is a fun-loving young girl who has a seemingly perfect life but sort of has to step out of that to bring Elsa back. Sooah doesn't have anyone to save exactly, but she prefers to stay in her comfortable world of friends and parties and flings until she has to step out of her comfort zone to confront her past with Jimin. Aurora is a little less similar, but I remember her as being an isolated girl who really longed for human connection. Sooah is far from being isolated but secretly does wish for a fairytale kind of true love and often reminisces about a time when she almost had it. Her favourite princess would be Cinderella.

Dilara Komyshan: For Dilara, the OG OC, my pick would be Ariel. It's no secret that Dilara is a romantic, much like Ariel, and displays a willingness to do pretty much anything for something she loves, be it her sport or a person. She gives up her teenage years and a lot of her life to be a world class athlete, trains and works through the year to be able to achieve her dream. Along with that, she goes to huge lengths to be with Taehyung, to fly across the world and meet him when she can and most importantly, overcomes her doubts to give him a second chance. Her favourite princess would be Belle (but she would tell people it's Mulan).

Cheon Lia: Despite very very few similarities in story, Lia reminds me of Pocahontas, largely in terms of her maturity and desire to avoid conflict for the bigger picture. Like Kaya, she also has similar traits to Tiana in terms of her ambition and hard work, as well as a little Jasmine with her assertiveness and need for independence. Her favourite princess would be Pocahontas.

i’m gonna cry it’s raining right now and i just passed by a family where both parents were without an umbrella but their kid who couldn’t have been older than like 3-4 was proudly holding this GIANT umbrella whose diameter was as tall (if not taller) as the kid. both the parents were getting absolutely drenched but u could tell the kid was just so happy to have an “adult” task and carry the umbrella themselves and i think that sacrifice is what love is all about

y’all just— thinking about how excited Stanley must have been to host the twins— Alex says he smokes cigars but he doesn’t smoke once in the show— has a beer gut but he only drinks sodas in front of the kids— doesn’t swear when they’re around which must have taken INCREDIBLE effort— Stanley Pines, known crook, buying pancake mix at the supermarket and many bottles of syrup— learning to cook basic healthy meals and burning so many of them before he gets it right— buying new sheets, new mattresses— avoiding bunk beds because it reminds him of Ford— looking at the attic room he made wondering “is this enough will they like me”— trying to act aloof at the bus stop so he doesn’t betray the fact that he was there hours early— watching them goof around and thinking of New Jersey beaches— then the first night they’re there, he watches them debate running away and only stay because Mabel shook a magic 8 ball. That must have kept him awake all night.

More on that AU where Ford takes Stanley with him to Gravity Falls…I realized they’re kind of like the Winchesters if one of the Winchesters was autistic about cryptids

would you consider yourself an intelligent and sensitive pervert?

i've been saving this in my inbox for months because i don't feel like i have the words to match this. it's a shameful breach of my humility to answer yes, yes i do consider myself an intelligent and sensitive pervert. i love how you worded that. this is like a therapist's screening question.

I’m sorry but I will truly never get over Ekko who lost his mentor and all his friends at a young age, then spent the rest of his childhood building a beautiful and strong community that helped get shimmer addicts off the streets and give them a new life that thrived off of trust, respect, and loyalty while slowly watching the girl he loves lose herself to her psyche and become an unhinged suicidal terrorist who he is unable to save despite repeated attempts at it. And THEN gets booted into an alternate reality where he learns he could have had EVERYTHING, the beautiful and thriving community, the education, his family, and the girl he loves and he heartbreakingly leaves it all behind because he knows he doesn’t belong there and he has to go back to save his people which he DOES multiple times at great risk despite knowing what overextending his z-drive could do only to end up completely alone in the end. The most selfless character in the entire series. That’s my boy savior.
