Skipper Canteen Review

The Solo Scale: Your server will give you a punny experience whether you’re flying solo, with a friend, or in a group. Be cautious about the portion sizes (Disney can be generous!), but order some pao de queijo off the secret menu and relax! It’s not a huge secret that when it comes to sit-down restaurants at the Magic Kingdom, your choices are limited. Either it’s character dining that comes…

Happy six years to these crackhead pirates!!!!!!!!

It had officially hit six years for Ateez. Even though you were introduced to them somewhat during the Deja Vu era, you fell in love with them through their song Desire and have officially dubbed yourself an Atiny during the Guerilla era. As you were blasting every single album series alongside Zelena, Regina and Robin watched from afar with adoration in their eyes and small grins on their lips. The events that had occurred throughout the quaint town of Storybrooke had taken a toll on you. 

After all, you were dubbed as the Demonic Ace for a while. 

Thanks to Henry and his penmanship as the current Author, your DNA had been rewritten and you were known as the Angelic Ace. Thanks to Merlin, your self inflicted glass heart curse was lifted and you could feel again. Thanks to Regina casting one more curse, all the kingdoms were united and Storybrooke was safe once more. 

Which leads us to now. 

“9024 KICK THAT DRUM!”

“MY EGO IN THE SHOW!”

You and Zelena were singing Crazy Form and doing the choreo the same exact way as Ateez had done it. However, you both were old hags (as in old people stuck in young people’s bodies) so you felt your joints ache with every single step and jump you guys did. Once the song was over, another track came up. 

And it was your favorite track off the album. 

“HOW THE FUCK DOES SAN SOUND LIKE THAT?!”

“I DON’T KNOW, Z. BUT IT’S SEXY AS HELL!”

“HELLO?! SEONGHWA’S PART?!”

Whilst you two were freaking out and doing a poor yet original dance to Arriba, Regina came over and turned down the volume, leaving the both of you to groan in frustration. Robin simply chuckled and walked over to you two. 

“Sorry if we paused your fun. We do have reservations at a restaurant in New York so we kind of have to get going.”

“OH SHIT! I FORGOT IT WAS TODAY!”

“LAST ONE TO THE CAR ISN’T A REAL ATINY!”

“YOU BITCH -”

Zelena cackled and sprinted away. You decided to cheat a bit and use your magic to trip her, causing her to fall and curse at you while you floated away. You got to the car first and you were about to sit in the front seat when you heard Regina clear her throat behind you. 

“You know the rules, sis.”

“BUT I GOT HERE FIRST, GINNIE!”

“I know. I would’ve let you sit in front if Robin wasn’t tagging along. Since he is though, you got to sit in the back.”

You grumbled in annoyance as you sat in the back. Zelena teased you and you decided to get back at her by summoning a large june bug and having it fly around her. It was hilarious seeing a mop of curly red hair fling about as she tried to swipe away the bug. You made the bug disappear and she flipped you off. Soon, the four of you drove out of Storybrooke and made your way towards New York. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I’M SEEING MY MAN LIVE!”

“AS IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY SEEN HIM LIVE LIKE HUNDREDS OF TIMES!”

“STILL THOUGH!”

Long story short, Regina and Robin surprised you and Zelena with tickets to see Ateez live. Since it was their sixth anniversary, they decided to host an event. Not only did you two receive tickets, but you also got backstage passes so you would get to see your man in person. You were freaking out, but not as much as Zelena was. It dawned on her that she would meet her bias. As the two of you were getting ready for the backstage meet & greet, the former Wicked Witch paced back and forth. 

“Oh God. What if Yeosang thinks I’m too old?”

“You’ll be fine.”

“What will WooSan think of me?”

“Again. You’ll be fine.”

“Is it too late to back out now?”

“Good God. Get a grip, girl!”

You grabbed Zelena by the shoulders and made her stop pacing before shaking her out of her nervous stupor. 

“You’ll be fine. Just be yourself! Well… don’t admit you’re a witch. At least… not yet.”

“But doesn’t Jongho know?”

“Yeah, but he didn’t tell his other bandmates.”

“But Yeosang is in the group chat with us.”

“We never mentioned witch activity in said group chat when Yeosang was added. Right?”

“Well… no.”

“See?! Problem solved! Now come on. Let me finish your makeup.”

Soon, the two of you made it to the venue and showed your passes to the security guard before entering one of the vacant greenrooms, where all the members of Ateez stood. You saw a few Atinys and interacted with them while Zelena shyly said hello and mainly just talked with Yeosang, who introduced her to San and Wooyoung. When you got to Jongho, he pulled you aside and looked around to see if anyone was looking. As soon as the coast was clear, he kissed you hard. It caught you off guard yet you kissed back immediately and gripped his nice biceps. 

You were the only one that had the privilege of touching them. 

“I missed you, honey.”

“I missed you too, my bear.”

The two of you connected foreheads and stayed like that for a while. Even though you guys could handle the long distance relationship, the feeling of having each other in both of your arms was that of elation and relief. 

“After the concert, tell Zelena that you’re staying behind. I told our manager to retrieve you after the show.”

“Am I going to stay the night with you?”

“Only if you want.”

“I would love to.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The concert soon ended and you told Zelena that you’ll be spending the night with Jongho. The two of you shared a knowing look before she departed. When you found their manager, he led you to an empty dressing room. You thanked him and you saw Jongho sitting on the couch waiting for you. He looked up and smirked before standing up and walking towards you. He picked you up bridal style and carried you out of the room before exiting the venue through a back door. A van was waiting for you guys and as soon as you two hopped in, the doors slid shut and the van took off. A minute down the road and you two were making out like nobody’s business. Jongho’s hands gripped your waist while he kissed down your neck and your hands tangled in his hair. You were biting down on your lip to prevent any moans from escaping. Soon, you two approached the hotel you were staying at and as soon as the van doors slid open, Jongho grabbed your hand and the two of you exited the van before sprinting into the lobby. You guys ran into the nearest vacant elevator and Jongho pressed his floor button before he turned to you and attacked your lips once more. Once the elevator reached his floor, he hoisted you up and over his shoulder before walking towards this huge penthouse suite that the guys rented out for their stay here. He kicked open the doors and set you down on the couch. When you gathered your bearings, you noticed the amount of rose petals and fake lit up candles surrounding the room. 

‘Aww! He’s so romantic.”

‘He truly missed you.’

‘Wait… why is he coming back with his members?’

Your eyes widened when all eight of them approached you. The seven of them kept a respectable distance while Jongho walked towards you and knelt in front of you. 

“Before you freak out, let me explain.”

You nodded slowly and signalled for him to continue. 

“I talked about this with my members. You know me. I am a man who doesn’t share, especially when it comes to the love of my life. However, I realized… that sharing you with my fellow bandmates isn’t so bad. That doesn’t mean you’ll date all of them. God no! It’s just… I’ve had this hidden fantasy about seeing you get fucked by all the members and I honestly want to make it a reality. There’s just one thing missing.”

Jongho grabbed your hand and kissed the back of it.

“Your consent.”

You were in shock to hear about this. Sure, his bandmates were attractive as hell and you couldn’t deny that some of them were wrecking you (mainly Yunho and San). However, to initiate something as huge as this? Even though Jongho said he was ok with it, you didn’t know deep if you were ok with it. Furthermore, you also thought about what would happen if you didn’t do it. Sure, Jongho and the rest of Ateez will understand, but you’d feel bad for not indulging in one of his fantasies. He indulged in so many of yours. 

Might as well return the favor. 

Right?

“Um… ok then. I think… I’ll do it.”

“Are you sure? Because once we get started, there’s no going back. Unless we do something that you definitely don’t like. In that case, we’ll back off.”

“I’m positive, Jongho. I want to try this out. I’ve got nothing to lose.”

Jongho smiled his precious gummy smile and hugged you tightly before kissing the side of your head. When he let go, he turned around and saw the 98 liners approach you first. Jongho caressed your cheek and kissed your lips lightly. 

“We’ve arranged it in the order of our unit tracks.”

OH! OK THEN!

“Matz first.”

Seonghwa and Hongjoong kissed both corners of your mouth delicately and retracted slowly. 

“WooSanSang second.”

‘Can’t wait for Zelena to hear about this!’ You thought in the back of your mind.

“YunGi third.”

The tall towers leaned down to whisper in your ear sensually. 

“Hi there, angel.” Yunho said in your left ear deeply. 

“Hey there, baby girl.” Mingi said in your right ear deeply and huskily.

You gulped nervously as they retracted themselves. 

“Lastly, me.”

You saw Jongho kneel in front of you once more and smirk before kissing the tip of your nose. He soon retracted and signalled for Seonghwa and Hongjoong to go first. The 99 liners and Jongho soon all backed up and went into the separate rooms the penthouse had. Seonghwa sat on the couch and pulled you onto his lap while Hongjoong held your chin and made you look up at him. 

“Ready to have some fun?”

NOTE: This is MY arbitrary opinion. You don't have to agree with it. You can, but you don't have to.

So, I grew up going to Disney World and Disneyland, it was a fundamental part of my childhood.

If someone asked me if I was going to take my own kids there if I had any... I'd likely say No.

You heard me, no.

Disney has been scrambling for a while now, story wise, imagination wise, (if I have to see another shitty live action remake of an originally good movie remade to be terrible to appeal to modern audiences I'm going to hurl). It's like they're embarrassed to be related to pre 2015 Disney.

Disney is acting like a stereotypical emo teen freaking out about back when they weren't annoying and lame, and trying to seem cool now by trying to destroy everything that people used to like about them. They've added and upgraded rides and lands before, test-track has been upgraded at least twice, Animal Kingdom had the expedition Everest ride added and Avatar land, etc. but all of these updates were either simply updates, or were pretty spaced out.

What Disney is doing with it's parks right now is wildly different.

They're clearing out multiple classic rides at multiple parks on the same time table, for what? They've already removed almost all of the original rides from Hollywood Studios, and they're threatening to take out the rest, not to mention they forgot the park's theme in their push to add a bunch of rides from newer franchises that keep breaking down.

Does anyone remember that Hollywood Studios was supposed to show off how movies were made? It had a backlot tour, a stunt show, the rides were themed around sound stages, they had art of animation where you sometimes got to see some of the newer movies in the works. They had an amazing playground based on 'honey I shrunk the kid's. Couldn't we have tied galaxies edge in using the sound stage entrance scheme? Who thought it was a good idea to cut the Indiana Jones stunt show's run? Personally I'd love to watch a Marvel stunt show.

Epcot was supposed to celebrate humanity, future world divided into natural innovation and technological innovation, while the rest of Epcot celebrated world culture and diversity. Epcot is doing better than a lot of the other lands/kingdoms, but I have no clue why Guardians of the Galaxy is right next to Mission Space and not in Hollywood Studios or something. Again, Marvel Stunt show people, come on.

Animal Kingdom is about to lose Dinoland USA right as they finally got to live up to the promise of having existing animals, extinct animals, and imaginary animals (which they're supposed to have had since the beginning, if you'll notice the dragon on the signage and the dragon head on one of the ticket kiosks). I'm all for the Pacific islands, south America area, I just don't like them removing the dinosaurs for it.

And last, but not least... Magic Kingdom... Oh boy Magic Kingdom... Why is Tom Sawyer Island becoming Car's themed? Why did you take the country songs out of country bear jamboree? Why are you going to retheme big thunder mountain? Why isn't Tiana's bayou a sit down river ride and restaurant while splash mountain is about Brother Bear? Why did you ruin the flow of Haunted Mansion's in ride story by putting the hat box ghost in the foyer before the sayance instead of at the top of the stairs by constance? Why must you shit on my childhood? Why are you like this?!

I'm not going to shell out the massive amount of money I would have to shell out to go to Disney to ride a bunch of rides I have no nostalgia for, full of brand new perpetually broken animatronics, for new age Disney movies, half of which suck because the writing is trash that my imaginary kids could write better than. You're shocked you're losing money? Gee, I wonder why.

If they chill out and calm the fat down and stop over charging and trying to get rid of anything that happened or was created before 2015, maybe I'll reconsider. For now they're just pitiful, (and way too expensive).

Fairytale world

Prince Charming (Tony) rode on his horse along the stretch of the land towards a forest. In the forest, he meets seven dwarves gathered around a glass coffin. "You're to late." Wong says. He looks at Pepper in the coffin. Her skin pale and her chest unmoving. "No. No! Open it." He ordered. "I'm sorry, she's gone." Strange said mornfully. "At least let me say goodbye." Tony begged.

All seven men remove the glass top. Tony leans down and kisses her lips and a wave of magic pulses throughout the kingdom. No one notices except the birds that leave the branches they perched on. Pepper wakes up with a gasp. "You... You found me." She said breathlessly. "Did you ever doubt I would?" Tony asked her. "Truthfully, the glass coffin gave me pause." She joked.

"Well, you never have to worry. I will always find you." He assured. "Do you promise?" She asked. "I do." Tony says at their wedding. "And do you, Pepper Potts, promise to take this man to be your husband, and love him for all eternity?' The priest asked. " I do she says. " I now pronounce you husband and wife." The priest says. Everyone applauds and cheers. Pepper and Tony lean to kiss each other when the ballroom doors swing open by a magical force. "Sorry I'm late." The red head stated.

She goes to approach the newlyweds and the guards try to stop her. She flings them away with magic. "It's the Queen. Run!" Someone in the crowd yells. "She's not the queen anymore. She's nothing more than a evil witch." Pepper said grabbed her husbands sword pointing it at her.

"No, no, no. Don't stoop to her level. There's no need." He consoles. Tony takes his sword from her. "You're wasting your time. You've already lost. And I will not let you ruin this wedding." Tony said. "Oh, I haven't come here to ruin anything. On the contrary, dear, I've come to offer you a gift." Natasha smiles. "We want nothing from you." Pepper says in anger.

"But you shall have it! My gift to you is this happy, happy day. But tomorrow my real work begins. You've made your vows, now I make mine. Soon everything you love, everything all of you love, will be taken from you. Forever. And out of your suffering, will rise my victory. I shall destroy your happiness if it is the last thing I do." Natasha turns around after her speech and heads for the door.

"Hey!" Tony calls after her. Natasha turns and he launched his sword at her. She disappears in a puff of black smoke letting the sword crash on the ground.

The real world

A young girl Yelena is seen with a book that contains illustrations of Tony and Pepper on the page. She's seen getting on a bus to Boston. "That a good book?" An elderly woman asked. "This? Is more than a book." The young girl says her little accent coming out. "Oh?" She asked.

Boston, south station. "Thank you for riding Greyhound." The bus announcer said. Yelena gets off the bus and finds a taxi. "You take credit cards?" She asked holding up the card. "Where to, chief?" The driver asked.

╬╬═════════════╬╬

Asena sat in a restaurant waiting on her target to come for their 'date'. She takes a sip of wine knowing that she'd need it. She wore a pink dress with matching heels and her hair was curly. She sat crossed leg to stop her shaking. To be honest she was scared the guy wouldn't show. But he finally did. "Asena." He greeted.

"Ryan? You looked relieved." She said. "Well, it is the internet. Pictures can be..." He pauses trying to find the right word. "Fake, outdated. Stolen from a Victoria's Secret catalogue." She finished.

He nodded. "Sorry I'm late by the way." He says sitting down in the seat across from her after they greeted each other. "It's totally fine." She replied with a forced smile. "So... Um... Tell me something about yourself, Asena?" He asked nervously. "Oh. Ah, well, today's my birthday." She answered. "And you're spending it with me! What about your friends?" He asked.

𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐈'𝐝 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐫 𝐕𝐨𝐝𝐤𝐚. She thought.

"Kind of a loner." She answered. "And, you don't like your family?" He asked. 𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞. She thinks holding her facade.

"No family to like." She said taking another sip of wine. "Oh, come on. Everyone has family." Ryan says. "Technically, yeah. And everyone knows who they are? Ready to run yet?" She replied. "Oh not a chance. You, Asena, are by far, the sexiest, friendless orphan I have ever met." He said.

𝐖𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐰𝐨𝐨𝐧? 𝐋𝐞𝐭'𝐬 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡. She thought. "Okay. Your turn. No wait let me guess. Umm... You are handsome, charming." She started internally gaging. "Go on." Ryan says.

"The kind of guy who— now stop me if I get this wrong — embezzled your former employer, got arrested, and skipped town before they could throw your ass in jail." She fake laughed. "What?" The man asked playing dumb. "And the worst part of all is your wife. Your wife loves you so much that she bailed you out, and how do you repay that loyalty? You're on a date." She finished off.

"Who are you?" The man asked. "The chick that put up the rest of the money." Asena answers. " You're a bails bondsman." Ryan realized. "Bail bondsperson." She corrected. Ryan flipped the table spilling everything on her and took off running. "Bloody Hell!" She groans.

Ryan runs across the street dodging cars and Asena just casually walks through traffic. He tries to start the ignition and looks to find a boot on his tire. "You don't have to do this, okay? I can pay you. I got money." Ryan bargained. "No, you don't. And if you did, you should give it to your wife and take care of your family." Asena said crossing her arms.

"The hell do you know about family, huh?" The man asked. "Nothing." She replied smashing his head against t he steering wheel. When Asena arrived home she kicks off her heels walked to the kitchen. She grabbed a bottle of Scotch and opened a box with a cupcake inside.

She opens the bottle and then puts a star shaped candle in the cupcake. "Another loner year." She lights it then closes her eyes and makes a wish. Theres a knock on the door and Asenas head snapped to it. She opens the door and sees a child. "Are you Asena Montgomery?" She asked. "Yeah?" She answered skeptically. "I'm Yelena and I'm your daughter." The younger blonde says. Yelena pushes past her and into the apartment. "Woah! Hey, kid! Kid! Kid! I don't have a daughter! Where are your parents?" Asena asked.

"Ten years ago. Did you give up a baby for adoption? That was me." Yelena explained. "... Give me a minute." The woman said going to the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror trying to compose herself. She didn't think that her past would catch up with her ten years later. Plus how could that little girl know that she was her mother?

She had a closed adoption which meant the kid shouldn't even know that she existed. "Hey do you have any juice? Never mind, found some." Yelena hollered from the kitchen. Asena leaves the bathroom after taking a deep breath. She sees the little girl drinking her orange juice straight from the bottle. "Gross." She said taking the bottle from the child. "You know, we should probably get going." Yelena realizes.

"Going where?" Asena asked confused. "I want you to come home with me." Yelena clarified. "Okay, kid. I'm calling the cops." Asena picked up her phone. "Then I'll tell them you kidnapped me." Yelena fired back. "And they'll believe you because I'm your birth mother." Asena huffed in realization. "Yep." The child hummed. "Fair played, but you and I both know you aren't gonna do that." Asena tilted her head in protest.

"Try me." The ten year old challenges. "You're pretty good. But here's the thing, there's a lot I'm good at and a hell of a lot I'm terrible at in life. I have 840 confirmed kills so murder obviously isn't one of them. Let's call it a superpower. I can tell when anyone's lying and you, kid, are." Asena explained to the girl. "Wait... Please don't call the cops. Please come home with me." Yelena begged.

"Where do you live?" Asena sighed. "Storybrooke, Maine." Yelena said. "Storybrooke? Are you serious?" Asena asked. Yelena hummed and nodded. "Alright then." Asena rubbed her temples.

Fairytale world

In the castle in the forest Pepper stood near the balcony, and a bluebird lands on her finger. "What's wrong?" Tony asked. "Nothing" Pepper snapped out of her daze. "You're thinking about what the Queen said again, aren't you? Pepper, please. I can't keep having this conversation. You have to let it go. We're about to have a baby." Pepper turns her head ashamed of being caught thinking about the threat.

She had agreed to try and move past that but how do you move past something like that, especially after you know that she will be true to her word. Pepper knew that Natasha would try everything in her power to take away her happiness. "I haven't had a restful night since our wedding." Pepper pointed out. And it was the truth, she hadn't slept well at all she felt as if she had to look over her shoulder consistently again. "That's what she wants - to get in your head. But they're only words. She can't hurt us." Tony reassured pulling her in.

"She poisoned an apple because the thought i was prettier than her. You have no idea what she's capable of." Pepper argued pulling out of his hold. He didn't get it and she needed him to get it. This woman has made her life hell for years. Natasha has had it out for her and wanted to see her dead and now this. " What can I do to ease your mind?" Tony asked starting to realize that he wasn't going to win this argument and that she wouldn't sleep until she got some type of clarity.

"Let me talk to him." Pepper answered. He was the only one who could give her that reassurance that her child would be safe. "Him? You don't mean..." Tony asked with a hint of fear. "I do." Pepper answered back with a look of determination. "No, no, no. It's too dangerous." Tony shut down the idea immedi ately. She couldn't be serious. She knew how dangerous he was. "He sees the future." Pepper points out. Tony made a face. He was scared he would admit that to no one but himself because he had to be strong for Pepper.

But that didn't mean he wanted help from the person he helped trap. that was suicide. "There's a reason he's locked up." Tony said logically. Pepper placed a hand on her swollen stomach. "Can you promise me that our child will be safe? Can you guarantee it? Because he can." Pepper questioned. The look on Pepper's face was enough to make him cave. Seeing her look so unlike her normal fearless self. "Alright. For our child." Pepper smiled in relief and Tony leaned in for a kiss. She had no idea how much power she had over him, and maybe that was a good thing.

Real world

Asena and Yelena were driving and the former had no idea what time it was. The drive was silent for the most part until Yelena broke it. "I'm hungry. Can we stop somewhere?" The girl asked. "This isn't a road trip kid. We aren't stopping for snacks." Asena replied. Yelena closed her book. "Why not?" She pestered. She was hungry she could feel her stomach growling.

She could also tell that they were close to home and she wasn't ready to go back yet. "Quit complaining, Kid. Remember i could've easily put your ass on a bus and let you go the same way you came." Asena said annoyed slightly. "You know i have a name right? It's Yelena." The blonde child pouted before opening her book again. "What's that." Asena asked just now noticing the big old looking book. "I'm not sure you're ready." Yelena flips through the pages. "Not ready for what? A bunch of fairytales?" Asena questioned scrunching up her face.

Yelena makes a face. These weren't just fairytales they were a truth and even if they were which she was pretty sure they weren't, they were a history, her history. "They aren't just fairytales they are a truth. Every story in this book is a truth, someone's truth. Every story in this book actually happened." Yelena deadpanned. "Of course they did." Asena sighed. It was a long night and this kid has made it longer. Yelena on the other hand was just huffing. How dare she not take her seriously.

"I know I sound crazy, but use your superpower, see if I'm lying." Yelena dared. Asena did and the girl was telling the truth. She wasn't about to let this kid slide though. "Just because you believe in something doesn't make it true. " Asena looked over at the page. "Uh no that's exactly what makes it true. You would know more than I would." Yelena scans through a page. "Oh really now? Why is that?" Asena asked. "Because you're in this book." Yelena flipped to the next page

"You have problems." Asena chuckles. This kid was crazy but so was she so she had no room to say anything. "Yep. And you're going to fix them." Yelena snorted. Asena laughed before switching lanes.

Enchanted Forest

Pepper and Tony are walking behind a guard with cloaks on their heads. The guard has a torch in his hand and he stops them just before they get to the cell. "When we reach the cell, stay out of the light. And whatever you do, do not let him know your name. If he knows your name, he wil have power over you." The guard warns, Pepper and Tony nod at him. "Loki. Loki! I have a question for you." The guard calls to the man in the cell.

Loki comes out of the shadows of the cell. "No, you don't They do. Pepper Potts and Tony Stark..." Loki rasped coming closer to the bars of the cell. "You insult my abilities. Step into the light and take off those ridiculous robes they don't suit you." Loki beckoned.

Pepper and Tony step into the light and slowly lower their hoods to reveal themselves. "Much better." Loki praises. "We've come to you about the..." Tony started before he was cut off. "Yes, yes, you idiot i know why you're here. You want to know about the queen's threat." Loki giggled before turning to the walls of the cell. "Tell us what you know and skip all the taunting." Tony deadpanned.

Loki was finding this amusing he could tell they were desperate. "Ooh tense, are we? Fear not! I can ease your mind. But... It's going to cost you something." Loki was playing with them he wanted nothing big they couldn't give him what he really wanted. Toying with them would be easy. "No he's just a waste of time." Tony turned to leave and Loki faked offence. "What do you want?" Pepper stepped forward and Tony spun around quickly. "Oh...The name of your unborn child." Loki said leaning against the stone of the wall with his arms crossed. "Absolutely not!" Tony protested.

"Deal! What do you know?" Pepper rushed out quickly. She needed to know she didn't have time for Tony's paranoia. Loki giggles and says, "The queen has created a powerful curse. And it's coming. Soon, you'll all be in a prison. Just like me only worse. Your prison, all of our prisons, will be time. Time will stop, and we will be trapped. Someplace horrible, where everything we hold dear, everything we love, will be ripped from us while we suffer for eternity. While the Queen celebrates, victorious at last. No more happy endings." Loki explains with a smile on his face. He laughs at the fact that they remain absolutely clueless and the fear that he could feel radiating from them. "What can we do?" Pepper asked with a sense of dread in her chest.

She was scared of the answer, well not the answer an answer one that could break her heart. "We can't do anything." Loki emphasizes the we. Because in truth they couldn't there was nothing Pepper, himself, Tony could do. "Who can?" Pepper asked again with that same feeling of dread. "That little thing, growing inside your belly. " Loki moves his hand, in a gesture, towards Pepper's stomach. Tony draws his sword quickly and slashes at his hand. "Hands off reindeer games. Next time I cut it off." Tony sheathed his sword and placed a hand on his wife's lower back. Loki tsks and glances at his hand. "The infant is our only hope. Get the child to safety. Get the child to safety and Ion it's twenty-eighth birthday, the child will return. The child will find you and the final battle will begin." Loki says in a sing song voice before spinning on his heel and moving away from the bars.

Tony didn't like that answer and he made it clear by saying, "We've heard enough. We're leaving." And he guided Pepper to the exit. "Hey! No! We made a deal! I want her name! We had a deal! I need her name! I want her name!" Loki growls and angrily hits the bars. "Her? It's a boy." Tony rests his hand on Pepper's bump. "Missy... Missy... You know I'm right. Tell me, what's her name?" Loki asked in a much more calmer voice. "Asena. Her name is Asena." Pepper sighed and started to walk again. "Asena..." Loki mumbled.

A few months, I made a post talking about how the ‘planned from the beginning’ excuse the RWBY FNDM loves to use makes no sense.  I got into a very brief argument with @crimsonxe before deleting the post and apologizing for writing it out of anger.

I am now taking that apology back, because the RWBY FNDM has repeatedly proven it deserves no form of respect no matter how small or basic.

I was hoping to rewrite the post using the other user’s replies, but unfortunately I couldn’t find them in my email trash bin.  So I’m going to be rewriting it based on memory.

One of the points I made was that, in Volume 3, there was a short scene where Penny expressed a desire to stay at Beacon, specifically saying that she ‘had an idea.’ The person who responded to me said that this idea didn’t ‘go nowhere’ because Penny dies at the end of the Volume

...  Bitch, that’s why it goes nowhere.

It’s like saying the ending of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom where dinosaurs are now loose on the mainland wasn’t completely ignored by the next film because Dominion was all about an evil corporation trying to kill competitor crops with a swarm of prehistoric locus.  It doesn’t change the fact that Fallen Kingdom’s ending was very clearly setting up a different story.

Or that the Pokemon anime didn’t drop the golden Pokeball plotline because it was delivered to Professor Oak and we never learn what it was about.

They also said that all that really mattered to Silver Eyes was that the Grimm are afraid of them, and it’s perfectly okay that CRWBY didn’t figure out why until Volume 3

That’s like saying it would have been perfectly fine if Avatar The Last Airbender took three seasons to figure out what an Avatar is.

Ruby’s Silver Eyes are strongly implied to be the reason Ozpin let her into Beacon.  If I’m expected to believe they’re important, why the fuck wouldn’t you figure out what they do first thing.

A plothole is when there is a hole in your plot’s internal logic.  How are you supposed to avoid plotholes if not even you know what’s going on?

Another point they made was that the writers figuring out their worldbuilding before they start the story or where they want the plot to go is them ‘doing me a favor’

As I said in the original post:  No, that is the writers doing their JOBS!

Let me put it to you this way:  Imagine you go into a restaurant and order a cheeseburger:

Do you expect that burger to be cooked?

Do you expect it to have a bun?

Do you expect a plate or a tray to carry it with?

Do you expect the restaurant to have tables you can sit at?

Do you expect the floors to be clean with a wet floor sign warning you of when it’s slippery?

Saying that the writers are ‘doing me a favor’ when they figure out where they want their story to go or how their magic systems work or what their world is like is like saying that one manager I had was ‘doing me a favor’ every time he came in half an hour late rather than miss have his shift like that one time.  That’s not doing a favor, that’s doing the least they could.

Doing me a favor is when Ben 10 throws in nods to fan opinions and responses in their show as quick little gags without mocking the people who hold those thoughts.

It’s when William Hartnell, the actor who played the First Doctor, kept track of what every button and switch on the TARDIS console did because he wanted to make sure he never used the wrong one because he feared viewers would notice.

It’s when Arkhane Studios defines the world of Dishonored down to the calendar.

It’s when the Ink Tank makes And Beyond, a series dedicated the the culture and societies of each of Ben’s aliens.

It’s when Linkara, GOAT he is, makes an entire, full length analog-horror movie as an April Fools joke.

Doing the audience a favor is going the extra mile.  It is not figuring out your plot points the moment they become relevant.  If that’s what you define as good writer, than please, do tell me, what’s bad writing?  If your standards are this low, then what would you consider a bad story?

They also claimed that I was wrong to make such criticisms of RWBY because Miles Luna is just a human being

I could make an entire post detailing how ‘people make mistakes’ is a terrible way to counter criticism (and in fact, I did), but instead, I’ll just leave you with a choice quote that describes one of the biggest problems with it:

There are writers and directors out there who put painstaking efforts into their stories to make sure everything is as concise and logical as possible. There are also writers and directors who don't put in those efforts at all. If inconsistencies in plot and character action "don't matter at all", then how can you even appreciate those efforts made by filmmakers who legitimately care? You're not just delegitimizing those who discuss their films. You're delegitimizing the filmmakers themselves. You're saying there's no difference between a lazy script littered with inconsistencies versus a thoroughly researched, laid-out, thoughtful script that made every effort they possibly could to make the story, characters, and universe as consistent and believable as possible. That's just nonsense and it's upsetting that you refuse to see any value whatsoever in filmmakers who put those extra efforts into their work.

Adam from YourMovieSucks.org, a professional movie critic.

They also said that they, as a writer, have reworked entire timelines because they came up with one new character

First of all, what you describing here is the planning process.  It’s revise then release, not the other way around.

Second of all, real nice anecdotal evidence you have there.  Wanna hear some of mine?  I wrote up history and culture for vampires and werewolves, notes detailing my own soft magic system, and worldbuilt an entire underwater society down to the clock for fun.  At that point, it shouldn’t feel like I’m asking the writers to reverse the Earth’s rotation when I expect them to figure out why Ruby’s Silver Eyes are special or how Magic works.

Another one of their ridiculous claims was that foreshadowing could ruin a show’s mysteries

Dumbass, mysteries are where you need foreshadowing the most.  Ask any established mystery writer, they’ll all tell you the same thing:  The best practice is to figure out the ending first and work your way backwards.  It requires thought and care to make sure the ending is satisfying and the journey to it is enjoyable and engaging.

Even if the audience figures out where the story is going, that just means their paying attention and are invested enough to think about the story.  And last I checked, the audience being invested in your story is a good thing.  Take it from me, I have a very strong idea for where Slime Rancher 2′s story is going, and I would be elated when it turns out I’m right.

If the only quality your story has is that it’s ending is ‘a surprising twist,’ then that just shows how shallow the rest of the story is.

Edit:  Linkara has a quote that perfectly explains why this idea is stupid:  “Of course we can’t [solve the mysteries].  It’s not really a mystery.  It’s you guys making up random contrivances to resolve each new cliffhanger.”

The last thing they user did was perpetuate the conspiracy theory that the RWDE tag was created to somehow destroy RWBY and Rooster Teeth while also saying the show doesn’t need defending from us as they defended it.

Ah, yes, because criticizing something is such a threat to it and the people who make it.  Just look at what happened with Twilight.  That series became the laughing stock of the internet, and then it...  Kept going.

Or what about Sword Art Online.  Mocking it became ingrained in the anime community, and then it...  Kept going.

Or Sonic The Hedgehog.  That series has a bad game every other release, and then it...  Kept going.  And each time it actually listens to the feedback it gets and tries to fix the problems people had.

Criticism is not a threat to a piece of media or the people who made it.  If anything, we’re doing RT a favor by criticizing RWBY.

But even then, let’s pretend, for just a moment, that there somehow was a conspiracy to destroy RWBY and Rooster Teeth for whatever reason.  Do you know what our EEVIIIILLL plan would be?  It’d be a simple two steps:

Step 1: Sit back

Step 2: Watch

Anything we could say or do to Rooster Teeth wouldn’t be nearly as bad as what they do to themselves.  Or do you think all those ex-employees reporting workplace discrimination and crunch culture so terrible it caused PTSD are in on it too?  We aren’t the ones trying to destroy Rooster Teeth.  Rooster Teeth is the one trying to destroy Rooster Teeth.

And even if that wasn’t true, why would an easily blockable tumblr tag be any threat to them?  We say this about a hundred times a day, but the entire point of the tag is for the FNDM to blacklist it so that they don’t see criticism.

And just to articulate how easy it is to blacklist a tag on this website:  I figured out how to do that all on my own and I can’t find my blocklist.  If that’s not good enough for you people, then what do you want us to do, go to an entirely different website?  Yeah, like that would stop you from complaining about us.

Furthermore, out of all the series in all the media in all the world to try and destroy, why do you think we would target a low profile web animation from a company that’s only really popular in machinima?  Don’t you think a more high-profile franchise would get this treatment?  Like Star Wars?

They probably said some more dumbass claims, but these are all I can remember.

It's our last Disney park day!! And what a wonderful day it was. We are waiting for the bus now and I am beat. This was a wonderful trip.

I slept okay last night. When we got back to the room and had showers. I washed my hair. Things were good. We had made a quick stop at the front desk so Jess could get change and we could do some pin exchanging. I ended up dropping my compact mirror and breaking it though and felt a little sad about that. But that is okay. We would get cleaned up and ready for tomorrow, put on Fantasia and went to sleep.

Waking up was a little tough. We decided to take advantage of the early entry but we had to get up so early. And then we would grab breakfast to go. So we were in line for the bus eating our food. Which was honestly fine. I really liked my bagel sandwich even though they out bacon on it and I had to take if off. And we shared the potatoes and then the bus was there!

We got to Magic Kingdom and after we got a few pictures without the big crowds in front of the castle, we headed straight to get Jess coffee. But then we couldn't go on the two rides we were planning on so instead we walked to the other side of the park and once we got there Jess was done her coffee and we got to get right on the Haunted Mansion.

This was very fun. But nothing today was particularly thrilling. It was all the classic and original rides. Which I really did enjoy. I loved seeing the animatronics and seeing the sets and it was just a really good time.

We would jump on a lot of things. After Haunted Mansion we climbed the Swiss Family Robinson tree house. It was really cool to see how they used the boat pieces to make the rooms and it was also fun telling Jess boat facts. Also very silly. I was having a really good time.

We went on a lot of things today. We would go on the Jungle Cruise next. And I loved our skipper. He was really funny. And while it wasn't real animals the scenes were really cute and well done. I still think it's so interesting how many of the rides were rides first and then movies.

We would make it back to Tomorrow Land. Which is where we had tried to start the day but that just didn't work out. We still didn't have much of a wait and we went in the Carousel of Progress. And that animatronic was excellent. The only one I didn't like was the very last one because it was supposed to be modern but was just a little outdated in its guesses about the future? Still very fun.

I had to take a minute to sit down after because I got an email from a reporter about the assault I saw. Apparently the Mayor is offering a reward and they wanted to intervene me. Instead I just wrote him up an account from what I remembered. I also got to see that there is an article about what happened and I'm mentioned as a neighbor. They said the actions of his son and me probably saved his life. Crazy. I hope they find the people who did it.

We would go on the People Mover next. Which was not as long as I expected. I would have liked it to go around more things but I still liked it. Getting to see a lot of Tomorrowland and seeing the insides of things. It was really neat.

While we were on People Mover we saw that there was a car riding/speedway. So I asked to do that. And while we were in line I finished my email to the reporter. And then we got to go on a little drive.

I was very bad at this. The steering wheel was very hard to control. But I was laughing a lot and having a really good time. This was a good day.

We would go and see the most important thing soon after that. We went to see the Tangled themed bathroom. Which honestly was super pretty. I hope they do something with Tangled someday. Love that movie.

As we were walking around near Main Street I saw the uniforms for the one restaurant were very cute baseball uniforms. And I requested to go there because they had a veggie hotdog. Which ended up being more like a sausage but I really liked. We were even able to snag a table. They didn't have gluten free bread so Jess mostly just ate the fries that came with it but we were doing good.

We would go in some shop and wander around the downtown. Jess reminded me that we were planning on getting the silhouettes of ourselves and our cats and it was right there. So we waited in the little line for that.

And the girl who did them was so great. She went to set school too and was a sweetheart. Jess got her and her cat separately and I got me and Sweetp together. I made sure she got his little nose bump. I'm thrilled. We even got them framed.

While we were waiting our turn we got to see a little parade which I didn't expect. I really liked to see the Mary Poppins face character. And I was just in a great mood despite the sun beating on me.

We were going to start heading to the bus to go take our afternoon break but we saw that there was a quartet starting to perform. And after their first song they noticed our birthday buttons and sang just for us. And after they finished we ran away, literally, and made an older lady laugh out loud. We were in such a silly mood.

But my mood would drop fast. The bus took a while to come. And I was exhausted. Jess told me that she was trying to be the strong one but it was a struggle because I got so low so fast. We thought ordering food for pickup would be quick and we could get back to the room. This did not go according to plan.

Though the app said our food was ready, it would take almost 20 more minutes. And it wouldn't have been so infuriating if the staff would actually give us some timeframe of what was happening. Instead of saying sorry and the. Basically ignoring us.

I was very close to falling apart. Jess tried to send me back to the room alone but I stuck it out with her. And we got back to the room at 2.

I very sadly ate my little piece of pizza. Jess would clean herself up. And pretty soon I was just getting in bed and going to sleep.

It took me a while to settle my brain. But once I was asleep I was good. I did spring away at 415 convinced we were supposed to be up at 4 and that caused me to scare Jess awake. Oops.

Then we were both startled by housekeeping knocking on the door so super loud. We were both a little groggy but I answered and they said they could come back. So that would give us a half hour to get redressed and get out of there.

And that is just what we did. We had decided to cancel our dinner reservation and instead just went straight to the park.

Another stop at the lobby to ask for a bandaid. We discovered that they do a photo scavenger hunt so tomorrow we might attempt that. But we got out of there pretty fast. And went back to Magic Kingdom.

The bus was really easy this time and we got there without much issue. And we had some time before the fireworks. And I think we used that time well.

We went on the train which takes you around the park. And while it isn't technically a 'ride' it was still really fun and I loved seeing all the behind the scenes stuff. We even saw construction for Tiana's new area opening later this year.

And when we got off we were at the carnival. Which was really cute. We would go on Private of the Caribbean, Aladdin's magic carpet, a little mermaid ride, and it's a small world. We really packed in as much as we could. We would also buy a few pins and trade a few more. It was a lot of fun.

Around 7 we started to try and figure out where we would watch fireworks. After some moving around we decided Jess would get in line for a churro and popcorn and I would go and find us somewhere.

I found a ledge near a slightly obscured area. And while I waited for Jess I had a really nice conversation with a woman from New York. She is an occupational therapist and hasn't been to magic Kingdom since 1986, when she saw the challenger explode over Disney Word??? What a crazy story. She was really nice.

When Jess joined us we all talked about work and life and our rankings of the park. And when her family joined her son, a 5th grader, asked if I knew what Five Night at Freddy's was and we ended up talking for almost a half hour. Which both Jess and the mom though was bizarre but also probably hilarious. Like I have never played these games but I know them well enough to talk to most kids about it. And if I didn't know something I would phrase it as a question to get him to tell me more. It was good fun. And a great way to waste the half hour before the fireworks started.

I have to say that Epcot's firework show was better. Again this one relied to heavily on projections for my taste, but the fireworks themselves were very impressive and I had a great time. Sitting on the ground. Getting sprinkled with ash. It was honestly super fun.

And when it was over we still had an hour and a half of the park being open. So Jess grabbed onto my purse, we said goodbye to our new friends, and I motored us through the crowd. I only had to push through a few people who were just being so unaware of their bodies. But no one got hurt and I got us to the other side of the plaza.

I bought a few more pins. And we decided that trading pins is more fun then buying the blind bags. I really like the pins I got. Both purchases and traded but there is just something so thrilling about the finding.

We saw that pirates had a 5 minute wait so we went on it again. And I think I liked it more the second time. I had a really great day.

After visiting the Tangled themed bathroom, which was beautiful at night, and wandering down Main Street we decided to call it. And end the day in a high note.

The line for the bus was long. But we made it on the second one that pulled up. We were the last ones on. Pretty nice. And while the standing made it tough to work on my post, and it was incredibly hot to the point I was legit sweaty, we would very soon be back at the hotel.

We paused in the gift shop and I got another traded pin. This one a Duffy Bear cupcake and I was so excited. Jess spotted it first but she let me have it. Love her for that. And then we went going back to our room.

I was a little nauseous. And had to drink a lot of water when we got back to the room but after a shower and putting away my laundry, I feel a lot better. Just very tired.

Tomorrow we are going home. But we still have a lot of day until then. We are going to sleep in a little. Then after breakfast and packing we are going to Disney Springs for the last time. Probably grabbing those last few souvenirs we liked, and after a little lunch, coming back here to get our shuttle to the airport.

Our flight isn't until 530 so we won't be home until late. I am so so so excited to see my husband. Also my cat. And just to be back to the wintertime. This has been such a nice break, and honestly I feel so spoiled by the weather besides everything else. But I also just feel so lucky.

I hope you all sleep great tonight. And I hope tomorrow is a beautiful day. Goodnight everyone. Until next time.

I'm fully aware I could just look it up, but I kinda wanna hear your pitch: what's Beyonders about? Adding another book series to the to-read pile

okay im legally obligated to drop the simplified video version i made (should link to the correct timestamp) bc my ass spent way too long on it as a whole buuut.

so there's this kid named jason and he's the most Just Some Guy ever. likes baseball and animals. probaby is going to be a dentist someday bc his dad wants it. he gets hit in the head with a baseball and then swallowed by a hippo in that order but not immediately consecutively mind you and the hippo turns out to be a portal into another world (lyrian) where he promptly witnesses a band's group suicide and accidentally gets involved in a quest to bring down the evil wizard emperor, maldor. in lyrian he's called a beyonder bc he's from the beyond (which does not Just include earth but that's not important unless you want to read the other mull books, namely five kingdoms. i digress) and he meets another beyonder, rachel (homeschooler rep for the win) and they set off on this quest to get the magical way to defeat maldor together. there's a giant crab, but no more hippos. this book anyway. basically it's your typical kid falls into another world and ends up fighting the evil ruler to save said world story, except the worldbuilding is super fun and funky and all the magical races are SO cool (there's seed people who can live theoretically infinite lifetimes if you replant their seed that falls out when they die; there's dudes who can just take off their heads and put them back on and such; there's these guys that are just covered in plants? also?) and there's throat mold which will haunt me forever. you got such excellent places as: deadly swamp, deadly jungle, haunted sunken city within the deadly swamp, random library in the middle of the forest, a restaurant that spins in circles for little to no reason, and more!

in the second book it really starts to get into the magic of lyrian and you learn about the history and the interspecies dynamics and stuff. they start a proper rebellion and go on a quest for a prophecy and they blow a lot of things up which i fully support. the whole thing is this wonderful celebration of friendship and how kindness can save the world, and what heroism and sacrifice really mean, and if it's possible to change what others and maybe you see as your nature, and whether it's all worth it or not. in the end so many things happen simply because jason (and rachel) chose to be someone's friend and believe in them and oh my god it makes me want to sit down and cry sometimes. it's about the power found when you come together to make a difference and also the power just one person can have by choosing good. and it's also really heartening to read a story about characters who have absolutely no obligation to this world, to these people, who are still saying no i'm going to fight for you because it's worth it. because it's the right thing. i know a lot of stories have that but sometimes i just need it again y'know. fighting not because you must, but because you choose to.

also there's like excellent levels of snark and banter and jason does some of the most absurd things (like, besides being swallowed by a hippo) and it shouldn't work but it DOES. and lyrian is such a grim world for a middle grade series. maldor's seriously devious in very subtle, fun ways, like how he toys with his enemies and tempts them to his side to the point where people will fight him not to fight him, but only far enough to get an invitation to his pleasure palace where all the heroes go and give up fighting for luxury. i just really really love the worldbuilding which has gotta be Some kind of endorsement bc i'm literally a fantasy hater most of the time (shut up about lotr and narnia those don't count they're classic i hate Most fantasy okay) and i usually think it has too much worldbuilding. idk it's just great! it's great!!!! and it's not perfect and has weird bits and things that make me go eeehhh but at the end of the day. i love it. even when it murders like most of my favorite characters and made me cry a lot. like a lot.

ahem. that's beyonders. give or take several hundred pages.

if i were to make a tshirt to wear to disney world it would say "there is no alcohol served in the magic kingdom" then the back says "except at our sit down, table service restaurants that typically require a reservation"

[witchtoon]

11/26/23. 3 dreams i remember. i think the first two were in the same universe

1. had a dream i was like hired to make a non evil ai or computer system because the former tech wizard who was someone from the candy kingdom shot his sister in the back of the neck? the way it was said i dont know if it was like an actual gun or like something different. i found out there was a giant purple worm that was causing earthquakes that was just going through tunnels below everything

2. had another where i was looking for someone who was using a hammer and i was asking if it was right handed or left handed and they told me that he was using something called a “decade experienced hammer” which you could only use if you were stupid OR ambidextrous

3. i went back to sleep and had another dream. mars (my best friend) was there and we were in some weird space that had a nintendo shop and we were clearly in new york but we were also crazy close to new hampshire for some reason? like you could see it from the nintendo store. it was like 10:40 so we were like ok we gotta be fast and so we went into the nintendo store and they took us to this restaurant and we were eating there with someone who was talking about how they recently got into a relationship with someone named geno. the reason we were at the nintendo store was because mars was replacing something an ex from high school took from her it was like socks or something. and then we drove over to this beach area with a bar and george takei was there and he spilled something and caught it in his hat and then said he owned a rollercoaster museum nearby and mars started explaining it to me and i was like what do you mean he owns a museum thats george takei. and then after a bit he disappeared and i asked mars if she wanted to go to new hampshire for a bit just to look around and see what it was like and she was like yeah im down and then we were driving there in my truck and the dream ended. there was also a part where we were at some little like sitting area next to stores i think it mustve been like an outdoor seating area for some restaurant and the people next to us were doing some kind of magic show and they kept calling people from my table up and then the magician said “i now summon trisha payta’s disembodied teet to the stage!” and some old short guy with long blonde hair walked up and was like that would be me

[tinyhockey]

hello friend! it’s your fic exchange writer again and i’m back with a few more questions

do you prefer disney world or disney land?

if you’ve gone to the park you prefer, what’s your favourite ride, activity, character to meet, snack, etc. just need anything you see as a must do at that park

ooohhhhhh my dear you just opened a vault you may not recover from. i'm putting this below the cut because i'm just gonna like completely go off. apologies in advance

so i've been to walt disney world in florida i think... 20 times? almost? something like that? i did go to disneyland once when i was 19 and i really liked it but i definitely know less about that.

my favorite park within walt disney world is definitely epcot! my girl my shining star. attractions: soarin' is one of my favorites, i also like test track and slower rides like spaceship earth and living with the land. but honestly the rides are less important to me than the general vibe of the place! i love strolling through all the countries, seeing all the shops, and just sitting beneath a shady tree and people watching. characters: i love to meet my favorite princess aurora over in france!! she's my number one girl. sometimes prince phillip meets with her and i CRY. snow white meets sometimes too and i love her! food: epcot is SOO good for food - i love the rice cream and pastries from kringla bakeri og cafe over in norway, the ice cream and sweets in france, basically everything in japan, like... it's so good fr. i would eat anywhere in epcot and love it. oh and canada has poutine so like?? iconic.

all the other parks are pretty equal in my mind so i will list them all below.

for magic kingdom attractions, haunted mansion is my number one forever i looooove me some spooky fun (even if i always get jump-scared by the popup ghosts in the graveyard). carousel of progress is pretty close behind - it's such a vibe, i love it sm, you should've seen me scream when i found out john and sarah were meet and greet characters at disneyland's throwback night. i also love pirates of the caribbean, the tomorrowland transit authority peoplemover, seven dwarfs mine train, and mickey's philharmagic! characters: allll the princesses!! tiana and rapunzel are my second and third favorites (after aurora) but i also love to meet cinderella and ariel, and all of their princes! tinker bell and peter pan are also really fun even if i don't love the movie oops... food i am a dole whip hater oops but i love a citrus swirl! and a lefou's brew is so good. the grey stuff is really delicious (lmfao). you also can't go wrong with the classics like popcorn and mickey ice cream bars - but no turkey legs ew ew. i like the plaza restaurant on main street and liberty tree tavern for sit down places but sometimes i'd rather just leave and go to the hotels nearby. oh and i loooove the parade festival of fantasy!! i sing the soundtrack constantly. the fireworks are sweet too!

hollywood studios attractions, i love rise of the resistance so so so much it's ridiculous. smuggler's run is fun as well! i miss the great movie ride but i love mickey and minnie's runaway railway too. twilight zone traumatized me the one time i went on it but the theming is so good i might pluck up the courage to go again someday... i also love toy story mania and muppet vision 3d (because everything is better with muppets!) but my number one thing is probably fantasmic. it's the nighttime show there and i cry EVERY TIME I WATCH IT when mickey appears at the top of the mountain... i lose it. i don't usually meet a lot of characters there, but ariel from the live action little mermaid is meeting there now and i'd love to see her! food is kinda iffy at HS but i do love the lunchbox tarts at woody's lunch box and it's a legal requirement that you have to have popcorn and strawberry lemonade at fantasmic.

animal kingdom attractions, i used to love flight of passage until they said i wasn't allowed to go on bc my calves wouldn't fit (which happens to a lot of people but yes i did cry about it). so i like kilimanjaro safaris, kali river rapids, dinosaur, and just like hanging out and looking at all the different animal exhibits! oh and finding nemo the musical AND festival of the lion king slap so much harder than they need to. again i don't really meet characters there. food, you gotta go for tusker house for breakfast and satuli canteen for lunch or dinner. they both are so damn good. plus you get pog juice (passionfruit, orange, guava) at breakfast which, inject that shit directly into my veins thank u.

outside of the parks, i really love all of the different hotels on property! the yacht & beach club is my first home, but the riviera has grown on me so so much, it's gorgeous (and my laptop background). i've always wanted to check out the polynesian too! the grand floridian and port orleans are also so so pretty. disney springs is fun too for an afternoon or evening, i'm not big into shopping but i like to browse around (and look for dolls and plush whoops).

generally i'm not a big roller coaster or scary rides person, i much prefer slower paced rides or ones like soarin' or test track where it's thrilling but doesn't make me scream super loud (ok, test track does, but besides the point). i’m more than happy to hold the backpacks and stuff and find a shady spot to drink a Diet Coke while other people go on! i also love seeing characters and shows, and taking in all the little details of the parks. i know sooo much trivia it's kind of ridiculous. i usually have a plan of what park we're going to, where we're sitting down to eat, and what rides are our number one priorities, but other than that i'm fine just going where the vibe takes me. i usually wear capris and a themed shirt to the parks, plus a backpack and my silver minnie ears with an aqua bow <3 but I’d love to dress up someday, in a way that wouldn’t make me sweat even more rip

i really really love disney if you couldn't tell, i usually have the ambient soundtracks playing or old parade soundtracks, my phone case is disney parks, I’ve seen every Disney and Pixar movie 3 times at least… do I always support them as a company? fuck no! but their movies and music and theme parks comfort me, and everyone in the parks is so nice! I end up complimenting a ton of people or helping them find their way to the star wars rides (my dad always has to tell me I don’t work there!!). it’s really special and I can’t wait to someday share it with a special person <3333

apologies for this complete essay!!! I hope at least some of this could be useful to you or at least interesting. if you have any more questions please let me know!! thank u so so much :3

Wilderness Lodge at Magic Kingdom was EPIC!

First off, the Wilderness Lodge is HIGHLY underrated. Loved the vibe of the lodge. Made you feel like you were in a mountain resort somewhere far away, not almost walking distance to Magic Kingdom. The pool was beautiful and overlooked the lake. There was a stunning and peaceful waterfall that flowed through the middle of the lodge to the outside. All of the woodwork was gorgeous. So much to do!

Moderately priced resort, on average $220 a night. In my opinion, accommodations much more superior than other resorts in this range such as the Cornado and SO much closer to MK if you have small kiddos.

Most people come for the Story Book Dining which features Snow White, the Dwarfs and the Evil Queen and I am sure it's amazing BUT Whispering Canyon Cafe 10/10 reccomend!!! The food was delish, we got a last min reservation no problem, and it isn't high priced for Disney Dining. The food is "western" style aka cornbread, Biscuits, smoked meat, potatoes kinda stuff but they did have several vegan and vegetarian options which was really nice! I had the Western Eggs Benedict which had smoked brisket in it on a cheddar grilled biscuit. So so good. And the memosa flight. Yum.

The biggest draw of the restaurant is the antics. Think "Dicks Last Resort" but Disney style aka appropriate, family friendly and a lot nicer. They say funny things and interact not like your traditional servers. The server in the big hat is Lee. He sits down and chats with tables that aren't even his!

We had the best time laughing and eating. Really enjoying the environment. I have teenagers so they got into it too. They gave something called the Katchup Call where if you need catsup for your food your server guides you in yelling "We need Catsup over here" and whoever had the Katchup last brings it over to the next table. Thing is it's not one bottle, it's like 15 bottles so you have the whole table getting up to come socialize with the next table. My girls got up and helped the elderly couple take it to the next table when they got called out. So much fun!!!

My husband asked for a Coke Zero. She brought out a huge one. When we drank it all. He asked for a refill but a "smaller one" and she brought out a shot glass full. Hilarious!!!

We definitely will be back!!!

🤩

Steampunk AU, Anybody?

(OCs Welcome!) Collab'd with @simpingseafood

1890s Twisted Wonderland. The City of Nightraven is a burgeoning metropolis. On the cusp of a new century, technology has gone hand in hand with the innate magic first perfected by The Great Seven. 

Every city has a head, Nightraven having one Dire Crowley as their mayor. Alongside him is his parliamentary council, of which Riddle Rosehearts-son of Dr. Carrol Rosehearts-is well on his way to becoming head of said council. 

A military base is housed along the outskirts of the city, within residing a fresh Ace Trappola and Deuce Spade. Their Captain, Cater Diamond, actually lives off-base with a renowned baker Trey Clover. 

Because of Nightraven's location and size as a hub of trade, ambassadors from across the land come to observe and partake in the local culture from the local embassy. Second-born son of the Royal Kingscholars, Leona begrudgingly fulfills the role of ambassador of the Sunset Savannah. In the wings are his steward Ruggie Bucchi and appointed soldier Jack Howl.

Another wing of the embassy houses the crown prince of the Scalding Sands: Kalim al-Asim. The only one beside him is his longstanding servant and assumed confidant Jamil Viper. 

Nightraven also stands as a center for budding trends. Vil Schoenheit is a household name in the world of fashion. But Vil is but a packaged deal, as no photography shoot or 'motion picture' set complete without his bodyguard Rook Hunt, and protégé Epel Felmier. 

Along the docks sits a bustling restaurant of coastal fare. Owned by a silver-tongued Azul Ashengrotto, and ran with associates Jade and Floyd Leech, this restaurant and its owners are more than they seem. For when the lights go out and tones are hush, more sinister business is made, if one can afford the price. 

Said deals cannot always be completed without assistance. That is where the forges of Idia Shroud burn as bright as his hair. He needs but the lightest excuse to begin his feverish experiments, assisted by his 'brother' Ortho. Together they work wonders with magic and steam, just keep your eyes away from the back of the shop. 

In one of the more stately homes outside the urban center houses a royal entourage from the Briar Valley. Prince Malleus has been tasked with absorbing necessary skills to bolster his future rule of his grandmother's kingdom, as well as advertise said kingdom's magical exports. At his side are the retired General Van Rouge, and knights Silver and Zigvolt. 

Amidst all of this, one dreary night brought a dark carriage racing down the streets. The mechanical steed somehow had been instructed to halt at the mayor's estate. Accompanying this carriage is a human, somehow devoid of magic in a world chocked with it. Along with them: a stowaway beast, cat-like with blue flaming ears, having hitched a ride on the premise that 'it was going fast, it must have been needing to get somewhere important'. 

The City is enormous. What awaits the magicless human within the streets of Nightraven? Who will they meet? How will they return home? Can they?

King of Mischief (Chapter 2)

Chapter 2 (Trouble is Brewing)

Word count: 3.2k

T/w: This chapter contains several acts of violence and foul language, read at your own discretion.

It had been a few months since Loki’s coronation day. Everything was going fairly well despite some Asgardians' reluctance to accept your husband as their new king. Loki was compassionate, firm, reliable with a smidge of playfulness while he played his role as the kingdom’s ruler. 

You? You played your role as the Queen of Asgard with grace, empathy and determination. You weren’t one to sit around and act pretty while your spouse led the nation. You immersed yourself with the people, helped around wherever and whenever you could although the servants and palace workers told you that you shouldn’t be doing such work, you insisted.

During your free time, you’d be connecting with the locals; playing with the children, dining in their restaurants, even participating in the tedious works. When Loki is free, you’d both leisurely spar with daggers and spears, sometimes the activity would be tamer, like reading classic literature or chess.

“Wow, you’re really defending your queen here.” You referred to the chess pieces.

“Of course, the king must always protect the queen. You know why?” He made his move.

“Why?” You asked whilst thinking of the safest move there is on your side.

“Because the queen is the strongest piece in the game.” He answered and you looked at him with a soft smile.

“Checkmate.” You made your move and grinned.

Loki groaned upon his loss, he never liked losing but time and time again, you’d always beat him in chess.

“Come here, you..” He tackled you playfully and you laughed.

It was true that time changes things. Over the past few months, your relationship with the God of Mischief had turned into a beautiful one. Who would’ve thought, two people of extremely different personalities could truly fall in love? Opposites do attract.

“It’s been almost one year since we’ve been together, Loki.” You stated.

“Really? Already?” He raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

“Yes! And I’ve actually planned something for us, an intimate party with just our family members on our anniversary. Thor would be there too. I’ve sent the invitations.” You brushed his hair behind his ear.

“That’s a nice gesture. But I’d rather spend our anniversary in the confines of our room.” He nudged your cheek with his nose.

You chuckled softly before your sweet moment was interrupted by agitated knocks on the door, Loki groaned and asked. “What is it?”

“My apologies for the intrusion Your Majesty, but I have a letter for you, it seems urgent. It came from the King of Arolf.” The servant explained.

You and Loki shared eye contact before he stood up to retrieve the letter from the servant. You stood up as well, smoothing your dress down as your husband opened the letter.

“I don’t understand this language..” He knitted his eyebrows together in confusion.

You walked to his side and took a look at the letter, recognizing the characters straight away.

“Oh, it’s ancient Oralfian, only the royal family of Oralf could speak and write it.” You took the letter from him and read it silently, shocked by the contents of the paper.

“Loki. We are in grave danger”

‘To Loki Odinson, King of Asgard and Princess Aurelia Lerrosdottir, Queen of Asgard, this is Lerros Velocson, the King of Oralf. Our universe is being compromised, we are amidst a battle with a powerful sorceress, she calls herself the Enchantress.

Her magical abilities are beyond our knowledge. She has taken over and is in pursuit of the Nine Realms as of now. The Sorceress is on her way with a large army of mages and sorcerers, together with Ymir the Frost Giant. May the Norns have mercy on us.

Signed,

Lerros Velocson.’

The contents of the Oralfian letter

“We need to think of a strategy, Your Majesty, the fate of the cosmos is up to us. We have reached out to the Norns but they refuse to interfere, they are letting destiny reveal the future itself.” One of Asgard’s war generals spoke while your husband paced back and forth.

You were sitting down and thinking of another idea, if a random person were to look at you, they would think that you were zoning out.

“How about Thor’s friends?” You blurted out.

“What?” Loki stopped in his footsteps and looked at you.

“His friends. The- the- The Avengers!” Your eyes lit up at your husband and then at the rest of the room.

“Asgard had never asked Midgardians for help. They are just mere humans!” The war general spoke.

“Isn’t it bad enough that my son is down there to chase after one?” Odin questioned your suggestion.

“No no.. You haven’t heard? T-they are the protectors of Midgard, superhumans with numerous skills and talents. They’ve defeated several cosmic entities before.” You were desperately trying to convince the room.

“I apologize in advance, Your Majesty, but a queen does not mingle with war preparations, even Frigga is not in the room.” Another higher ranked Asgardian spoke and it made your blood boil.

You slammed your hands on the table and stood up, similar to what had happened at the Asgardian ball. “Don’t you dare belittle me like that. If it weren't for me, you bollocks wouldn’t understand the contents of the letter.”

“I AM THE QUEEN OF ASGARD. I share the same rank as my husband. And I DO have a say in this war. My land has been compromised because of this witch and you have a knack to tell me what to do?!” Your chest heaved with anger and you see that Loki was impressed.

“Do any of you have other ideas or better suggestions that could help our situation?” You raised your eyebrows and stared at the men in the room.

“We are wasting time here, the Enchantress has taken over Svartalfheim, Vanaheim and Nidavellir while we were rushing for this meeting, who knows which realm is about to be attacked next.

Just as you finished your sentence, an announcer had spoken, “Refugees from Alfheim and Neiflheim had arrived!”

“Quick! We need to tell Heimdall to detach the Bifrost.” Loki ordered but it was too late, the sound of destruction and a parade of armies had breached Asgard. You and Loki peered out of the palace’s windows that overlooked the Bifrost and saw that a war had commenced amongst the enemy and Asgard’s line of defense.

“Aurelia, take cover!” Loki yelled but you held onto his arm.

“NOT WITHOUT YOU!” You shouted back.

“Your Majesty, we have no time!” You looked behind you and saw that Odin was ready to defend Asgard with his scepter and you looked back at Loki before being taken away by the royal guards.

“NO LOKI! LET ME FIGHT!” You screamed as you were taken to safety.

“Go to Thor and inform him of this mess, I shall deal with the Enchantress herself.” Loki told Lady Sif and the Warriors Three.

“But, Your Majesty.” Fandral hesitated.

“No buts, just go! Before it’s too late. Tell him that the Avengers are needed to protect Midgard. I’ll handle Amora, she’s an old friend.” He dismissed them and went straight to Odin’s vault to retrieve weapons and the Tesseract.

While he was gearing up, a familiar person spoke to him from behind.

“Well, well, well, isn’t it the new King of Asgard.” Loki immediately recognized her voice.

Turning on his heels, he gave her a sly smile. “Hello Amora, it’s been a while hasn’t it?”

“It has indeed. Ever since your father banished me.”

“Adopted father.” Loki interrupted her.

“I went away to pursue some knowledge with the Queen of Norns herself. But she had banished me for being unruly, too undisciplined. That is atrocious.” She rolled her eyes.

“Now, are you suiting up to join me in our true mission?” The Enchantress asked him.

“True.. Mission?” Loki played dumb while chuckling.

“Have you forgotten? We made a pact, remember? We were going to dominate the Nine Realms together.. My love.” She walked closer to him with a smirk.

“Oh, about that, I don’t think I’d have to follow up on that since I’m already the King of Asgard. I basically rule the Nine Realms too.” Loki was acting dumb just so Amora could get closer to him and with one swift motion, he stabbed her with a dagger only to realize that it was only a projection of her.

“Tsk tsk tsk.. Loki Laufeyson.. You are not the only one who knows how to create illusions.” The real Amora showed up and began walking towards Loki.

“Don’t you wish you had a queen? I am here now, my love. We can rule together.” She scoffed after reading his mind.

“You already have a queen I see.. That poor princess from Arolf, a tiny planet in this vast cosmic universe. Well, guess what? After defeating her people, I could tell that she would be as frail as them.” The woman claimed with a smirk on her face.

“So, how about we kill her and you and I could rule the universe instead.” She tried to enchant Loki but her powers did not work on him and instead, she was thrown to the side by an unseen force.

“Stop trying to claim my husband!” You appeared with glowing gold orbs in your hand which startled Loki. He never knew that you had magical powers yourself.

The Enchantress coughed out and laughed. “Oh it seems that the little princess possesses powers like her mother. By the way, it was a pleasure to kill her.” She gracefully stood up using her powers.

“And I would have the pleasure to kill you!” You began throwing power orbs towards the woman to which she avoided.

Amidst using your magical powers, you began throwing daggers her way using telekinesis. One of the daggers had succeeded in hitting her on her thigh, though it only sliced her skin.

Amora ran towards you with a sword she had found in the vault but was immediately halted by the force field you had created to protect you and Loki.

“Loki! I can’t hold her very long. If you are thinking of teleporting, now’s the time!” You turned your head to look at your husband and then to the Tesseract that was decorating his scepter.

He placed his hand on your shoulder and hit his scepter on the ground and you two were transported to Midgard in a blink of an eye.

“NO LOKI! LET ME FIGHT!” You screamed as you were taken to safety.

‘Safety’. Just as the guards had begun escorting you to a safe room, you all were hit by a blast from one of the mages in your palace’s compound. The guards were knocked out from the blast but you weren’t, thanks to your magical background.

You began fighting alongside the other warriors of Asgard, you used your magic to overthrow and kill your enemies. Even attacking them with swords and blades you have taken from the bodies of dead Asgardian guards. When it seemed like the coast was clear, you ran back towards the meeting hall to look for Loki but you’ve only found several defeated guards.

“Where did the King go?” You panickedly asked.

“Odin’s vault.” One of them answered and you quickly rushed to where the vault was only to overhear your husband’s conversation with the Enchantress.

“Tsk tsk tsk.. Loki Laufeyson.. You are not the only one who knows how to create illusions.” The real Amora showed up and began walking towards Loki.

“Don’t you wish you had a queen? I am here now, my love. We can rule together.” She scoffed after reading his mind.

“You already have a queen I see.. That poor princess from Arolf, a tiny planet in this vast cosmic universe. Well, guess what? After defeating her people, I could tell that she would be as frail as them.” The woman claimed with a smirk on her face.

“So, how about we kill her and you and I could rule the universe instead.” She tried to enchant Loki but her powers did not work on him and instead, she was thrown to the side by your magic.

You and Loki landed on Midgard, crashing to be exact and you turned to look at him angrily before sitting up.

“Hey are you alright-” You slapped him hard across the face.

“You had a sorceress girlfriend?!” It was clear that you were annoyed.

“Yes, wait, are you jealous?” Loki asked as you both got on your feet.

“Not jealous, I’m mad!” You exclaimed before continuing.

“You didn’t even officially break up with her and now she has the idea of murdering me to take my place.” You grumbled as you walked off.

“Well, it wasn’t my fault! My father banished her without my knowledge. We were in love when we were teenagers, it’s been years.” He explained to you whilst following behind you.

“I don’t care about that, the fact that she already planned ahead on being your queen and ruling the Nine Realms with you was unbelievable.” You turned to look at him.

“You are jealous.” He smirked and stopped in his tracks. You walked towards him, stomping your feet and he thought he was about to get another slap on the face but he was wrong. You punched him in the gut with a tad bit of mystical force and sent him flying a few meters away on the field.

Wait, a field? Where were you? You turned around and there it was, the Avengers logo standing tall and proud on the highest level of the watchtower. You placed your hands on your hips as you were approached by a few security guards, behind them, Tony Stark.

“What the hell just happened? Who are you?” He raised his brows and looked behind you at Loki who was groaning. “Wait, you look familiar, I think I’ve seen you somewhere before. Oh yes! Yes! You’re Thor’s brother. Reindeer Games!” Tony chuckled.

“And you are..?” He turned to you again.

“My wife.” Loki answered stiffly.

“Is he good?” Stark asked you.

“What was it Tony?” Sam Wilson came out to see what caused the loud crash.

“Oh shit, we’ve got some Asgardian folks over here.” He looked at you and Loki’s outfits.

“Language.” A man’s voice came from behind him, it was none other than Steve Rogers, Captain America himself.

You rolled your eyes and straightforwardly asked. “Are you the Avengers?”

“Well, we’re incomplete but yes, we are the Avengers.” Tony answered you nonchalantly.

“Where’s Thor?” You tilted your head.

“New Mexico. With his girlfriend.” Tony answered once more.

“We can’t waste any more time.” You weaved through them and entered the facility leaving all the men confused.

“Thor is on his way now with a couple of his friends.” Natasha stated.

“Wanda and Vision too.” Bruce added.

“Peter and Strange are on their way from New York.” Tony spoke.

“Clint is coming over from shield.” Steve hung up his phone.

“I’ve contacted T’Challa, he just got on a jet from Wakanda.” The man with an iron arm, Bucky, told the room.

You scanned the room to see what everyone was doing. They all seemed busy with their electronic devices and so you were told. Loki on the other hand was putting a cold compression on his stomach, your punch must’ve done a lot to cause him pain. One of the many reasons why you didn’t want to reveal your powers to him. It was easier to keep it a secret than to let him know because you wouldn’t be able to hold yourself back anymore in front of him.

You did the best you could to explain the situation to all of them and that is how you are in that position, in a room filled with Midgard’s chosen heroes.

“So, you’ve told us that this witch has magical powers right?” Stark sat down next to you.

“Yes. She has a sister too. I believe she had recruited her to her army too.” You told the man.

“I see.. And what are her powers?” He asked further.

“Her powers are unlimited, she was a student of Karnilla, Queen of the Norns.” Loki answered his inquiry.

“Her sister on the other hand was imprisoned by my father because she seduced and enchanted men with her voice.” Your husband added in.

You looked over at Loki and with knitted eyebrows and a sorry expression before returning to Tony.

“I hope your team has sorcerers or people who practice magic. Her powers are very potent.” You were clearly worried and Tony could see that.

“Don’t worry, Doctor Strange and Wanda are experts. Loki told me that you are somewhat of a magician yourself.” Tony leaned into his chair.

“Sorceress, but yes. And about Ymir..” You straightened your back.

“The ice guy? We have Bruce over there.” He looked at Bruce who was busy tapping away on the computer.

“Him? That man with glasses?” You raised your eyebrows in doubt.

“Oh don’t underestimate him. He’s powerful when he is in Hulk form. Am I right Bruce?” Sam assured you.

“What is.. A Hulk?” You curiously asked and Tony gave you a tablet and showed you footage of Hulk on the field.

“Wow.. That’s impressive.” You nodded in approval.

“Yep, he could turn that ice guy into crushed ice for sure.” Stark confidently said and you smiled at him, starting to have faith in the team.

Loki approached you and Tony, he was worried about you, you were diving head first into danger and as much as he knew that you had the spirit of a warrior, you were still his elegant queen.

“Tony, I think I should bring my queen to rest now. She has had a long day.” He placed his hands on your shoulders.

“Of course, I’ll notify both of you when Thor and the gang get here.” Tony nodded and Loki led you to the quarters.

You avoided eye contact with your husband as he scavenged for clothes for you to change into. 

“Ah, here we go.” He pulled out a shirt and sweatpants for you to wear.

“Thank you.” You received the garments from him, he noticed how you’ve been a bit distant and more tense since you’ve got to Midgard. To be honest, you felt alienated since you’ve landed, Midgard wasn’t anywhere near similar to Asgard. The way people presented themselves and how different the technologies were compared to your homeland.

“You feel like an outcast.” Loki read your mind and took a seat next to you on the bed.

“Yes. But I’m sure I’ll get used to it.” You gave him a small smile as you stared at the pile of clothes you were holding.

“Listen, I apologize for not telling you about Amora.” He placed his hand over yours.

“No no.. It’s alright. I apologize for the punch.. And the slap.” You looked at him.

“Yeah, you went quite hard on the punch. But I quite liked the slap.” He made you chuckle.

“There we go.. I’ve missed that captivating smile.” Loki grinned and pinched your pinch.

“Don’t worry Aurelia.. We’ll save Asgard and avenge your parents’ death.” He held tightly onto your hand and kissed it.

“As soon as the Avengers are lined up, we shall defend the universe.” Your husband kissed your forehead.

Chapter 3

i know you’ve become a pretty regular disney world visitor, what’s your favorite stuff to do at the parks?

I'm actually going tomorrow! And the sentimental answer is "see my friends" (I always go with @reena-jenkins and @isweedan), though in terms of things we actually do when we're there...uh, eat. WDW has really good food (sometimes depending a bit on which park you're in and what time of year you're there), both sit-down and counter service, or from various festivals like Food & Wine. In terms of specific restaurants, we always try to go to Skipper Canteen in Magic Kingdom and Jock's Hangar Bar in Disney Springs.

Like, the rides are nice, but uh I am here for the Atmosphere and the Food, and also the friends. <3 (Our favorite park is EPCOT, which isn't a big ride park anyway, but is a very good food park.)

Fun fact! I came up with the Thor and Loki "I can't believe you slept with my friends!" / "What - what - what - what is WRONG with you!" exchange in Yonder 5 at WDW, in the queue for Remy's Ratatouille Adventure in EPCOT.
