{{ Hi there! Oh my god, I could give so many options just with your disney section alone lmao-- }}

Tiana !

{{ Give me!! Princess time with all the princesses, they absolutely have to hang out, any and all of them. I know she's set in the 1920s, so her time period is a little odd to get to naturally, but I'm open to the sort of Roger Rabbit, all toon crossover sort of setting or other verses! }}

Maleficent !

{{ Guess who, Aurora !! Don't worry, she doesn't hold a grudge... she just hates you and your husband and all your people-- but she's not bitter... And she'll forgive you for not inviting her to yet another party-- after all, you probably assumed she was dead. }}

Magnifico !

{{ A still uncursed Magnifico would gladly meet with any disney royalty, but Mother Gothel and a cursed Magnifico, now that's a bad combination of magic and vanity. She would definitely be the exact wrong person to find the now immortal king trapped in his mirror gem, a man who could promise to grant her immortality-- eternal beauty! Easy! He just needs two things: His book... and a way out of here! }}

Bubbles !

{{ Let me give one non-disney one lol-- Roxanne Ritchi might fit running into the teenage ( or preschool! ) PowerPuff, Bubbles! Always looking for an excuse to cross her over into a general superhero-y world, but fair warning to Roxanne, she will talk forever if a mic is held up to her lol }}

Of course if there's a muse you like that i haven't listed here that never means you can't write with them too!

Maleficent/Descendants - Timeline Headcanon

Does anyone else ever think about how Queen Leah automatically assumed Mal was Maleficent and had stayed young?

Like by this theory, then everything in start of Sleeping Beauty happened when Maleficent was only a young girl? Which makes any tie in with the Maleficent movies so much worse because sixteen (Mal’s canon age in D1) was when Stefan first told Maleficent they were true loves?

So let’s look at the wikia canon ages for Maleficent and Stefan. Stefan was 50 at the time of his death M1, So Maleficent would have been 45-50ish too - though Maleficent does have the fae as immortal if they’re not killed so retaining their youth would make sense.

But for the purposes of Descendants, clearly Stefan and Leah aren’t going to be in their 70′s - because Descendants canon put’s Aurora at least 36 years of age (16 at the time of Sleeping Beauty and Isle’s been in place for 20 years.). But if you add the 5 years between M1&M2 that puts Aurora at least 41 years old in Descendants and that’s without adding a couple of years for other stories to catch up to them.

But I digress - the fact that Leah thinks Mal is Maleficent would suggest that in at least the Descendants franchise, Maleficent hadn’t reached maturity when all this went down.

So...

So here is MY timeline for MY Maleficent for it all, the ages will decrease some from Maleficent to make sense for Descendants but still incorporate the central themes and events from the Maleficent franchise. Aged 14: Maleficent meets Stefan, she was 14, him 16. Aged 16: Stefan kisses Maleficent and announces that it was true loves kiss Aged 17: Stefan starts working in the Castle Aged 19: The King attacks the Moors and Maleficent fatally injures him. The King offers the reward that any man to kill Maleficent would marry his daughter and be king. That night Stefan visits Maleficent in the Moors, drugs her and hacks off her wings. He married Leah who is 2 years older than him Aged 20: Maleficent goes to the Christening of Aurora and curses the girl Aged 30: Maleficent stops aging Aged 31: Queen Leah dies aged 35 (Leah’s not seen Maleficent or Aurora since the christening) Aged 36: Aurora goes under the curse. Maleficent wakes her up with a maternal true loves kiss. Stefan dies aged 38. Aged 41: Events of Maleficent 2 happen. Aurora has her first son 9 months after her wedding to Philip (my Rose Prince - Preston @islecaptain ) Aged 43: Maleficent falls pregnant with her first child. King Adam and Queen Belle get married; talks of an Isle begin. Aged 43/44: Raven is born ( @wearethedescendants ) and a prophecy given about his power. Isle is created and Maleficent goes willingly. Queen Leah and King Stefan are resurrected along with the villains as a gift to Aurora for supporting the Isle. Aged 45: Maeve is born Aged 46/48: Mal is born - this is dependant on the player I’m writing with and whether they play Mal as 16 or 18 at D1 Aged 64: Descendants 1/2 happens Aged 66: Descendants 3 happens

Given that in my timeline Leah was 35 and Stefan 38 when they died, at the time of D1, they’re both 55 and 58 respectively (physically) due to being resurrected at the age they died at. Aurora herself based on this timeline is 43/44 at the time of D1.

Little Birds on Sky Atlantic: Book, Cast, Filming Locations, Trailer

https://ift.tt/3jzs77a

It’s common for channels to make hyperbolic claims when introducing a new show, but when Sky’s drama heads describe Little Birds as ‘not like anything else on telly,’ they’re not wrong.

The six-part drama inspired by a series of erotic short stories is a lavish period melodrama with few points of TV comparison. Little Birds is an exploration of female sensuality and liberation set against a backdrop of colonial violence and simmering rebellion. It’s a provocative, heightened, almost cartoonish fairy tale about struggles for personal and political independence. It’s colourful and stylised, tongue-in-cheek yet earnest, with a killer 1950s soundtrack.

Take a look at the trailer:

If that appealed, then here’s everything you need to know:

Where was it filmed?

Little Birds was largely filmed in summer 2019 in the Spanish town of Tarifa, on the southernmost tip of Spanish Andalusia, just across the Strait of Gibraltar from its setting in the Moroccan city of Tangier, as well as further up the South-Eastern Spanish coast in Cadiz’s Algeciras.

Speaking at the Little Birds online press launch, actor Juno Temple describes standing on the Tarifan coast during filming and feeling the sensation of wind blowing across from Africa making her feel ‘like being in two places at once,’ a key theme in a series about conflicted identities and crossing boundaries.

The production team were denied permission to film the series in Morocco, a stumbling block they came to regard as a blessing in disguise when they discovered Tarifa, which they thought had a closer resemblance to 1950s Tangier than the actual city does in the modern day. The Sky Atlantic production employed the same Malaga-based locations scouting company as HBO’s Game of Thrones, which used several Andalusian locations for the kingdom of Dorne in the fantasy epic, including Seville’s Real Alcazar water gardens as the palace of the Dornish royal family.

Which book is it based on?

The short story collection Les Petits Oiseaux or Little Birds by French-Cuban writer Anaïs Nin. The collection of stories was published in 1979, after Nin’s death, but the stories were written as erotica-to-order decades earlier in 1940. The collection’s 13 stories are unrelated erotic vignettes featuring a variety of characters exploring sensuality and sex narrated largely from a female perspective, some of which provided inspiration for the series.

Little Birds producers Ruth McCance and Peter Carlton explain in this interview that the project initially began as a series of short films for Sky about sex, before Nin’s stories were brought in as a unifying thread and screenwriter Sophia Al-Maria built characters and plots around them, and suggested setting them against the backdrop of Tangier, Morocco on the cusp of independence from colonial France.

Who wrote and directed it?

The series was written by Qatari-American artist writer and filmmaker Sophia Al-Maria, author of 2012 memoir The Girl Who Fell to Earth. All six episodes were directed by Tales of the City, American Gods, Dickinson and Transparent’s Stacie Passon, with cinematography by Vanity Fair and Victoria’s Ed Rutherford. It was produced by the UK’s Warp Films.

What was the political situation in Tangier in 1955?

In 1955, Morocco was one year away from independence from colonial rule. In the 1920s, the city of Tangier had been officially made an ‘international zone’ under the French and Spanish Protectorate as part of the joint colonial regime of France, Spain and the United Kingdom.

After calling for Moroccan independence from the oppressive colonial regime, the Sultan of Morocco, Mohammed V, was forced into exile in Corsica in 1953 by the French army. Many of the Moroccan nationalists in Little Birds are his supporters and wish him to return to power and fight for independence from the colonial forces, while French Secretary Vaney and his army seek to quell the nationalists and maintain colonial rule.

Who are the characters and what have you seen them in before?

Juno Temple plays Lucy Savage, an American heiress to a firearms fortune who travels from her parents’ Park Lane apartment in New York City to Tangier to marry a down-on-his-luck English lord. Temple recently appeared in true crime series Dirty John, Sky and HBO 1970s music drama Vinyl and plays fairy Thistletwit in Disney’s Maleficent films.

Yumna Marwan plays Cherifa, an independent and wilful Moroccan dominatrix who works at a local brothel and resents the French colonial regime. Little Birds is Lebanon-born actor-director Marwan’s English-language screen debut.

Hugh Skinner plays Hugo Cavendish-Smyth, an English nobleman struggling with social shame over his sexual identity, and in need of money. Skinner has appeared in Fleabag, W1A, The Windsors, Harlots and the Mamma Mia films.

Raphael Acloque plays Adham Abaza, an Egyptian prince frustrated that his closeted English lover refuses to commit to their relationship, and marries a woman. Acloque has previously appeared in Spiral, Catherine the Great and 24: Legacy.

Nina Sosanya plays Lili Von X, a scandalous American celebrity who comes to Tangier to make a film too sexually risqué for the United States. Sosanya is British star with recent appearances in Good Omens, Staged, His Dark Materials, Killing Eve as well as Last Tango in Halifax, WIA and much more.

Jean-Marc Barr plays French Secretary Vaney, a symbol of European colonial oppression. Barr has appeared in a great many French and English-language films and television dramas, and is perhaps best known for Luc Besson’s free-diving sports film Le Grand Bleu or The Big Blue.

Rossy de Palma plays aristocratic hedonist Contessa Mandrax. The Spanish actor-model has appeared in several films by, and is considered a muse for auteur Spanish director Pedro Almodovar.

Is there going to be a second series?

Speaking at the Little Birds July press launch, the team were hopeful about a second series order, but it was too early to say.

Little Birds starts at 9pm on Sky Atlantic on Tuesday the 4th of August.
