Hi!! Nimona Tangled AU my beloved 🗣️🗣️

Here's drawings of some of the stuff I can remember of the movie woo

Also under the cut are some random thoughts too c:

(Apologies on any mistakes! I tried checking in to make sure that everything was correctly written)

-Save me, PNG of a frying pan.

-By the way, I've only watched the movie (several times) in Spanish, never in English, so not only I am writing what I can actually remember of the dialogue, but also I'm translating it into English djfdk clarifying this in case it feels weird

-I think it was Ambrosius' voice actor who mentioned about the discarded idea of the queen being Ambrosius' mother, but anyways here she is his mother and Ambrosius was stolen from his crib and all that

>Invented Ambrosius a dad called King Something-Something and the guy definitely cried like Rapunzel's dad when him and his wife were getting ready to send floating the first lantern (I swear, that scene is my favorite in the whole movie, it's just so aaa hitting me right in the daddy issues, he was missing his daughter so much)

>Then Queen Valerin wipes the king's tears very tenderly while feeling very melancholic herself, but she doesn't cry because she had accepted long ago that their son was never coming back, but she knows that her husband is still hopeful about it, even if each year he gets disappointed.

-Instead of it being Queen Valerin who was sick, it was Ambrosius who was born as a sickly baby (stealing comic Nimona's lore a bit here sjdkf), and so in all the kingdom they went to look for a cure for his sickness because otherwise they were sure he wouldn't make it.

>Then they find the flower and they give it to him and from then on he becomes a very healthy, robust baby. Also he started quickly growing blond hair with the weeks and they were like ? okay, but he's healthy, so-!

>(It would've been cool to color Ambrosius' tip of his blonde hair brown like his haircolor is supposed to be but I forgor and I'm too lazy to fix it sjdfkjs)

>Anyways the Director thought that she had lost the power of the flower forever since they fed it to the prince, but then she's like :0 bc hey it seems that the powers transferred to the baby. And she's like, well, that works too, and tried to get his hair but it didn't work so she planned on kidnapping him instead.

>Maybe she kidnapped him like when he was a toddler or lil kid under four or very young so he wouldn't remember his parents or anything prince-related, that's why twenty years went by and yet Ambrosius is older than that.

-I'm yet to keep reading rosemary-frog's tangled au fic but the idea of Ballister being Lord Blackheart is really cool and then him probably admitting that his name is just Ballister pipipi when he and Ambrosius are about to drown in that lil cave.

>Maybe Nimona starts narrating the story with something like 'this is the story of how Lord Blackheart/my boss/the villain died' or something very dramatic.

>Maybe he's surname-less and the queen names or knights him Boldheart or something aaa

>Ambrosius starts calling him Ballister and then just Balli wiwiw

-The director sometimes losing her cool and blaming Ambrosius over it (in a, look what you made me do, kinda way) [LIKE THAT THING IN AMPHIBIA SJDKFSJF the king just kills Marcy and is like oh look what you made me do :( ]

>She definitely applies that when she stabs Ballister nearly to the end of the story sdfjs like, look what you caused, Ambrosius, if only you had listened to me.

-Her not naming herself his mother to keep some distance between herself and the queen's kid, so just going along with her director title, since she is still the director in the institute or something, and how is Ambrosius going to know what a director actually is, anyway.

>He tried to call him mom once and she was like (ew) no, it's director, I'm not your mother (maybe he's told his parents abandoned him or tried to use his magic for their own evil benefit, and that's why the director decided to save and protect him, taking him to the tower).

>Ambrosius hasn't known anyone beside her tho, so she allows the occasional hug or gentle treatment. He's very touch-starved.

>She feels nothing for him, he's just useful and at the second of him rebelling she tries to kill him or whatever happened in the tangled movie sjdfkds

>Actually I think Rapunzel's mom wanted to take her away for no one to find them? Maybe the director was just so desperate to not lose Ambrosius' magic that she'd leave everything behind just to get to keep it for herself idk.

>Also she definitely tells him out there are monsters and stuff bc why not, anything to keep Ambrosius fearful of the outside world and keep him in the tower.

-Nimona doesn't like Ambrosius for calling her a monster, then over finding out that he whacked her boss in the head with a frying pan several times, and then for gatekeeping the crown that they stole.

-Nimona starting the Goldie nickname, Ballister following along, and Ambrosius not finding it amusing. Maybe Ballister comments something about having a thing for blondes during the whole thing of him and Ambrosius clearly liking each other (and Ambrosius' like oh?? I am a blond! 😈).

>Later on, after the whole dying and reviving through Ambrosius' tears, Ballister says that he's crazy for brunettes actually and Ambrosius' like :D ??!! because Ballister is alive (and hey, he is a brunette! 😈)

>Btw they definitely flirt in-between their mission of going to see the lanterns, even if Ambrosius isn't all too sure about what he's doing bc he has never flirted with anyone before, he just knows that saying things to Ballister that make the man look almost coy makes his heart go faster, and also of course receiving the flirting from Ballister.

>What if he applies all the stuff he had read in his books or something sjdkfjs he had only ever flirted with the mirror and now he gets to apply it to the very attractive man that is leading him to watch the lanterns sjdfkjf

-Nimona breaks Ballister out of jail exactly like in the Nimona movie and hurts lots of guards and jumps out of the building as it explodes and stuff.

-Since Nimona is sort of using Maximus' place in the movie (and any animal, like Pascal and also that bunny that Rapunzel gets scared of), let's say that the overly competent guard/knight here will have to be Todd and his team sjdkf

>They're after Ballister and Nimona, but since Ambrosius' there too they also chase him (running away from the law as a family, amarite)

-When they're in the lil' cave about to drown, both Nimona and Ballister have to pull Ambrosius out of the water when he keeps trying to push the rocks away, in desperation because how is he going to die this way.

>Nimona's like, Goldie stop! It's useless. Because she tried pounding the rocks in the biggest forms she could use and had to resist turning into a much bigger form in fear of squashing both men. And her smallest forms did nothing because they were completely sealed in, yet she was aware that both men were about to die and she wouldn't. Then Ambrosius turns to Ballister who just gently shakes his head, because it is a lost cause.

>Both Nimona and Ballister see him crying in guilt and stuff and Ballister says his actual name when Ambrosius says, I'm sorry, Nimona, Lord Blackheart-. Ballister admits that he isn't a Lord nor Blackheart, and that he actually has no last name. He's just Ballister.

>I'm not sure what Nimona would admit, like the being lonely thing, the pushing people away, or something to do with their powers? (but I doubt that one), maybe she just watches the other two share their small moment of truths.

>Ambrosius reveals that his hair glows when he sings. And so he does when he realizes that they could use that, and once there's a very small crack revealed by the light where his hair is trying to get out, Nimona puts her whole into using that and she finally manages to push all the stuff away.

-Ballister is like, his hair glows?! and Nimona's like, yeah and I change forms, so what?! a bit offendedly and Ballister's like, oh right.

>(Nimona getting offended on Ambrosius' behalf over Ballister freaking out about his powers/magic, reminding her a bit of when they first met and Ballister freaked out too. But Ambrosius couldn't care less about the guy freaking out, he's way too happy about being alive)

>Then he heals his right hand where he had a cut and all that and the whole talk of stuff.

-Imagine that same night that they have to spend resting, that Nimona and Ballister easily fall into a sleeping position that works to brace them (especially Ballister) against the cold of the night, and Ambrosius just staring with like a smile because isn't it great that those two get to have each other and be so familiar between each other to just do that?

>Then he prepares to lay on his own side to sleep, but Nimona just rolls her eyes and roughly pulls him into their pile, leaving him wrapped on her arms too. And there's Ambrosius and Ballister back-to-back, and Ballister just says 'goodnight' to him and Ambrosius mutters the same back, feeling something like a lump in his throat as he accommodates his head on Nimona's arm like a pillow.

>And Ballister throws Nimona a knowing look, because despite her not liking the blond much, she still felt some clear sympathy for him, both over him admitting that he had never left the tower, and the fact that they were similar somewhat, both had pretty cool powers that confused people.

>And the fact that Ambrosius getting locked into a tower so no one could use his powers was a bit similar to Nimona's situation in a way (if we're going with the comic lore for her)

>(maybe it was Nimona who muttered the 'you've never left the tower' in realization after Ambrosius said almost shyly the 'that's why I've never been out and...' and then he sighed defeatedly and then said the next stuff all resigned, and all that)

-When the whole dancing bit happens in the Kingdom, Ambrosius tries to keep Ballister as close as he can but apparently the dance meant to change partner every once in a while. In the end he forgets about holding his hand and finds that holding anyone's hand while dancing and moving around to the music is just as thrilling.

>But then they end chest to chest anyways and smiling at eachother wiwiw (like the art in this post by unironicallyresurrected waaa)

-Maybe something and something and Ballister loses his arm when the director tried to kill him, some way. Ambrosius' tears only fixed the injury and blood lose but it was already almost completely detached from Ballister's body, so it just laid there jsdfk

>How did he manage to cut Ambrosius' hair I have no idea, don't ask me 😭 maybe Nimona made act of presence at some point, I have no idea where to put her here, I doubt she'd be down after a smack from the Director in the same way it happened to Pascal sdfkj

>(But anyways wouldn't it be cool if she jumped to defend Ambrosius? pipipi is like Eugene and Maximus teaming up but it's Ambrosius and Nimona sdjfks)

-When Ballister and Nimona take Ambrosius with the king and queen, they step back and watch the whole family reunion go by and they're like :) bc hey look at the guy, he's crying his eyes out and hugging like his life depends on it to the queen, but he's happy wouu 🗣️🗣️

>Anyways, the queen's hug is the warmest hug Ambrosius' had ever received (aside from Ballister's), and it's nothing like the Director's and he can't believe he has never been hugged like this in his life.

>Then Queen Valerin pulls Ballister into the hug and encourages Nimona to get in there too but she just shifts into a bigger animal and squeezes them all into a hug.

-Ambrosius gets a better haircut maybe, or maybe he keeps the bob cut I don't know 😭 dfjkj but his hair never grows longer bc the flower's power affected it or something like with Rapunzel.

-I think Ballister would be knighted or something, and then there's Nimona who's just doing her thing of being a little menace and being Ballister's sidekick, and Ambrosius is a good prince and is very happy of finally being outside and getting to know so many people yippiee

>And the director is dust in the air wouu

-Btw the last part in the movie is like this, because I think Ambrosius would say yes the second Ballister asked him to marry him unlike my pal Rapunzel, so- 🤨 also Nimona is the main narrator like in the Nimona movie sjdkf

Nimona (narrating): And so, after years and years of begging and begging and even going to his knees by his feet... Ambrosius: I finally said yes 😌 Ballister: Hey- Ambrosius: Fine, it was me who begged 🧍 Ballister (amused): And so they all lived... Nimona and Ambrosius: Happily ever after. [Happily ever after music and celebration]

>And then there's a drunk guy blowing a kiss to the audience or something 🧍

That's it, thanks if you read till here!

insert for ch2

"Finn, come on."

background items: Marcy Acoustic set poster from Scream Queens, Fern's leaves pressed between glass, Finn's Candy Kingdom diplomat pin, the cash he won in a bet in the comic Marcy & Simon, the dimensional sword, root sword. I wanted to add more but thought it'd get too busy.

closer view and excerpt under the cut

He finds himself before the sink, mussing up his oily hair and disheveled beard to rid himself of wood chips, splashing water over his face and coughing after breathing deep off a stale cigarette. The cherry fizzles back at him against the aluminum as he taps it off into an empty. He tugs at the bottom of his eyelid — the whites of his eyes are yellowing again. Pressing his forehead to the mirror and staring at his reflection he sees Martin's eyes, jaw and brow. He sees his maladjusted view, understands now what he meant, in the end.

He can't look in a mirror without seeing the man staring back at him, and it only gets worse with age.

“You’re fine. Today was just a bad day,” he recites just as he’s been told to, loyal tool of the kingdom that he is, a coping mechanism PB calls self affirmation. He leans back, scoffing, “in a long line of bad days.”

His feet carry him to the stump set before his wood stove, and the air toasts his frozen fingers and melts away the pins and needles in the skin that his port connects to. Anxiety bubbles its way up his esophagus and he drowns it with a long pull off his homebrew, eyes flickering from the bottle to his prosthetic, foot tapping furiously. He sighs and gives into the itch at the back of his brain, taking the wish out and reading it over again, biting more teeth marks into a pencil already shredded down to the lead.

It’s something to look forward to. Something he can put off, hoping ‘it gets better’ but it hasn’t and he’s almost certain it won’t. A morbid form of motivation to get more built, work harder, save more people, hoping against hope he’ll wake up happy before he has to spirit himself away. But none of it matters without fulfillment, sat alone and suffocating under his own melancholy in this empty space, only a facsimile of a loved one on his chest for company. He wants to see his brother, he wants to see his mom. He wants from the bottom of his being to go back and smack himself for being dumb, deaf and blind in the face of his own wants and needs. He hunches more in on himself and clutches it harder, it crinkles back at him, threatening another rip.

Slim, sage colored fingers enter his vision and pluck the precious slip of writing from his hand.

“I’ll give it back if you clean yourself up and go to bed.”

“I have it memorized,” he sighs. “I thought you believed in nihilism, anyway, Miss nothing matters and the wind makes my decisions.” Their eyes meet and he can’t help himself but to smile, though it doesn’t reach the rest of his face.

“I believe in natural predeterminism inscribed on our souls by our great earth mother, not in being a sad sack with whisky dick.”

“Ouch. My ego,” he drones, throwing his palm to his chest in faux hurt. “Like I’m disappointing anyone these days. Cot’s closed, sweetheart.”

“So not why I’m here.” She rolls her eyes and holds her hand out, motioning for the bottle.

“If you crack it open against my floor you owe me a face cord of firewood.” He hands it over by the neck and she takes a fifth straight, wiping her mouth with the back of her glove and gagging. “Christ, bad day?”

“Not yet.” She sighs deeply, clearing her throat of the burn and takes a seat on the floor next to him. “You’re going to be pissed with me. I thought saying anything would just upset you, but you’re still set on doing this,” she waves the wish in her hand, “so. It might help. I don’t know.”

“What are you talking about?” His voice drops decibels, adam’s apple bobbing as he gruffly clears his throat.

“I swear to you I didn’t keep this from you on purpose.” She huffs a sigh and peers up at him guiltily. “You know, Fern crashed in my woods with LSP, but we never spoke. Not until the war.”

“…” his breath gets caught in his lungs, burning.

“I forgot. There was so much going on, back then.” She blinks at him, brows steepled, and covers his hand with her own. “What he said— when I did remember I thought it would just break your heart all over again, so I’ve kept it to myself.”

His hackles raise and defensiveness floods his veins, skin hot and starting to prick with nervous sweat. “Excuse me?” he asks, resistive.

Her eyes hold his though, expression full of pity unchanged. “Finn. Come on.” Her thumb brushes against his knuckles and he shakes her off.

His anger speaks for him, misplaced and protective of his brittle heart. “It’s been a decade and you think I’m like this over some kid I knew for half a minute when we were teenagers?”

“He wasn’t just some kid, I‘ve seen you- you know. Lurking in his tree. It’s a contributing factor in your whole bummer lifestyle because you never processed his death. Or are we still pretending that he has nothing to do with us?” Her voice is gentle but firm, not entertaining his usual evasiveness.

“I'm not doing this,” he snaps, shutting down. He stands and walks to the door, holding it open even though the cold night air will chill the space again. “I am sorry, ‘Tess, for— for whatever you think you know. I can’t rehash it. I’ve buried that shit deep, and it’s gonna stay there.”

“I asked him what he was fighting for. He was dying, falling apart under me, I was just trying to keep him distracted," she barrels ahead anyway. “He looked me in the eye and said ‘same as you.’ Maybe he opened up to me because of what was happening to him, or because he knew we had— you in common, I’m not sure.” She looks at him with such compassionate sympathy that it makes him nauseous. “He adored you, Finn—“ his knees buckle, “—he said he was happy to die for you if it meant he could 'make up for everything that happened after you left him behind’.” She stands and reads the wish, scrutinizing. “If you truly need to do this to be happy… knowing that can’t hurt.”

How he’s able to remain upright he doesn’t know, but a flash of devastation covers his face before he can recover.

“Please, don’t tell me his business,” he rasps, voice wavering. “I can’t,” he begs, croaking out the words through the raw vice of emotion choking him. “I can’t think about it.” He closes his eyes, pleading with his whole body.

He feels a hand brush against his cheek, and her lips press to his softly, whispering “I’ll miss you.”

When he opens his eyes again she’s gone. Bottle and paper placed neatly on his stool. He closes the door and leans against it, hugging himself and breathing hard, face hot with upset. The more he tries to calm himself the closer he comes to hyperventilating, and when the tears start his breathing only worsens. He crams his fist against his mouth and takes a shuddering gasp in, close to wailing over it.

ramblings about how winter king is not a simon but an ice king from my insta story. no idea how much sense this makes

Not to post a serious analysis of mr oncest bait, but it's kind of... *wrong* to say the winter king is Simon? I think it's more accurate to call him an ice king who THINKS he's Simon. His whole bit is that he removed the madness of the crown from himself, but the ice king isn't just "simon but crazy". The ice king is the result of the wish crown's curse over the span of 1000 years breaking down Simon's psyche and replacing and warping and mixing it with Evergreen (specifically Gunther's warped view of him) and adding more madness and sadness till he basically experiences ego death. We know our Simon (at least at this point) considers he and ice king separate entities. They have pretty different personalities

Winter king is more like ice king than Simon:

* Physical stuff. Obviously. He's taller, has longer straighter hair, and is fucking bright blue+ still has evergreen's nose LOL. But also smaller stuff like the fact he dresses different and has different shaped glasses

* WAYYYYY more outgoing. Even before All That, Simon doesn't seem like the most outgoing guy. He would go on expeditions yes but could you imagine that guy throwing a party? No.

* Way more selfish and self absorbed. Which is in line with ice king, but now he's conventionally attractive so everyone else agrees. This is opposed to the fact Simon want to khs

* No consideration for PB. This is an interesting one, because it's the first departure from both our Simon and IK. Obviously ice king was terrible to PB LOL but like....he liked her.....because she was like betty..... And now Simon really respects her (and feels terrible about it.) while WK straight up does NOT care about her. Different from both, but closer to IK because he is a dickweed

* Deals with emotions differently than Simon. Seems to have completely blocked Betty out (assuming they were still close in this universe). And marceline bro... whatever happened there, ice marcy is the KID version of her. He has her bass, so she at least grew up and they've interacted. Maybe she saw him get "fixed" and was like.
Wow! You're not Simon!

* The name. Fionna's dream has the "ice prince", and that's what she calls Simon upon meeting him for the first time. If this was a True Simon, it would make more sense for him to be called the ice prince in universe, no? But he keeps the King title.

Simon spends a lot of the episode jealous of the winter king because he seems so well adiusted while he has the crown.

Simon has no magic, no nothing, but at least he has his brain back. The crown is very much directly linked to his loss of identity and to see WK be CONSCIOUS and LIKED and seemingly HIMSELF with magic is something he desperately wants especially at a time like this when his mental health is down the shitter while everyone talks about how much more fun he was when he was legitimately insane

The difference is that Simon spent every *conscious* moment FIGHTING the crown. Winter king is NOT fighting that shit. He says that he "conquered" it, but no you did not buddy. He is still dependent on it. He cannot survive without it. He just gave up. He's accepted that he's become one with it instead. So did ice king. Except without the madness of ice king, he can be a semi functional human being. He still gets the high of the crown and all its power, but this doesn't change the fact it Changed Who He IS.

Doesn't fucking matter rn becauee Simon hates himself and wants to be someone else but you get the idea. Winter king is just a version of Ice King LARPing as Simon. He can just do this way more convincingly even to himself because he can actually think now

Like “Betty? OH HAHA THE DEAD ONE” is an ice king ass reply and I swear to god at least part of the reason they didn’t get Tom Kenny to do his voice is because it would just be ice king’s voice again

also in regards to why candy queen is like that-Okay one, this goes with the name thing. Princess bubblegum. Normal. Candy Queen. Insane. Same as winter/ice king and ice prince. We cool?

Anyway

The Madness manifested in Simon/ice king in regards to Betty as romantic obsession. With the madness gone, CQ is the one feeling the brunt of these feelings- which would explain why Winter king doesn't remember feeling so Strongly about betty. Because Simon's feelings about her are naturally just fucking insane, it's so intertwined with the Madness that when that part is removed, so are any feelings towards Betty.

CQ is probably also obsessed with WK and "being together" because the sane part of her mind recognises that this madness is HIS and this is her fucked uo way of trying to like. Give it back.

That’s all I got

[agalychnisspranneusroseus]

In RiAAU, when Anne accidentally takes her girls to Earth at age 23 (plus Sprig, who came as a stowaway), they're transported to different points of LA - specifically, to their respective childhood homes. After running around through the city, having a few encounters with the police (who think they're cosplayers on drugs) and several crying sessions, they find each other. Anne had already met her parents and spent a day with them before leaving to find her girls - she was angry with her wives when they left, and she didn't know they had all been transported until she saw something about a crazy "medieval fair attendee" robbing someone with swords in the news. Being with her parents was... awkward. First of all, they spent twenty years looking for a missing son, a little boy, and what came back was an adult daughter. She had changed her gender, apparently, but also her entire name. "Anne Plantar" was completely different from "Andrew Boonchuy". She slept holding her sword. She caught insects in the backyard and baked them into cookies. She could see they had all of these expectations for what their son would be like when he came back and it was painfully obvious that Anne didn't meet a single one. At least her brother was with her. They climbed out the window on the first night they were there and left to find Sasha and Marcy.

Now, the Boonchuys were the only ones who stayed in their old house after their kid went missing. The Wu's left nearly ten years after Marcy disappeared, and the Waybrights got divorced, remarried, and had more children in different houses, in separate parts of the city. When Sasha and Marcy returned, they found their old houses empty, or with new people living there. Tracking each other down was hard, but when they finally reunited, there were tears and hugs and kisses and they slept in the floor of the Wu's old abandoned house. Whatever had made them all so mad before seemed insignificant now.

They return to the Boonchuy house - Anne wasn't about to let her wives, who were both literal royalty back in Amphibia, live as squatters until they found a way back. It's uncomfortable and awkward but Anne explains everything she hadn't told her parents before - that she didn't come alone, that these two were the two other kids who went missing with her, that they're world leaders back home and that they're all married. Yep. Yes it's legal. Yes there's this polygamy clause that allows it in some ca- why are they looking at her like that? Lest to say, her parents are feeling very emotional about their baby being married. And the fact that they missed it.

So they stay with the Boonchuys for several weeks. It's shocking how quickly Marcy becomes friends with her dad - he shows her this thing called "videogames" and it's like a whole new section of her brain is activated. Sasha bonds with Anne's mother very easily, too - she's just generally very helpful, a great listener, and always goes with her to the market because she can carry the most bags at a time.

It's... nice, to see two of her three families get along so nicely. Her three families if you count Sprig winning over her mom. Really, Anne is happy. She knew her relationship with Marcy and Sasha was unusual, and if it weren't because she was consort to the queen of Newtopia and the lady paramount of the old Toad State, they'd all probably get a weird treatment back home. The fact that her parents seem fine with it is comforting.

Still painful to see her wives becoming so close to them when Anne can barely stand being in the same room as her mom without feeling awkward and wanting to bolt. She's starting to feel like coming here was a big mistake.

[finedinereception]

some details on what im tentatively calling wizard married au- in which betty is here from the start and happily magic married to her equally deranged husband.

past

like canon, betty flees when simon first wears the crown. however, there is no portal to the future this time. she finds somewhere else to stay, and during that time, she begins researching. she can tell that wasnt normal. surely if it had just been simon, he would have shown some symptoms of whatever that breakdown was. it had to have been the crown.

she pours herself into her research. it saves her life, because a few weeks later the bombs drop.

she uses her research to attain magic powers, a la magic betty. like simon, she obtains immortality. however, she loses her sanity the more she uses her magic.

a while after the bombs, she finally meets simon again. by this time hes picked up a travel buddy- marceline. the two of them are relieved and happy to see each other.

the apocalypse ironically saves their relationship.

turns out knowing you and your man are going insane and losing your memories is a pretty sobering, emotional thing to really grasp. it ends up breaking the wall between them, and theyre finally, finally able to begin sorting out the issues in their relationship.

this is an important moment between them. even when they fully lose themselves, it becomes the basis of their future relationship. betty starts doing things for herself, and simon starts paying more attention so he can stop her if she starts focusing too much on him again.

its never easy, but for a while, they get a sort of peace. a surprise family at the end of the world.

simon loses it first. during the night, when marceline is asleep, he tells betty that he has to go. hes held on longer than canon simon thanks to betty being around, but hes finally slipping, and hes worried hes going to hurt marcy. sure, betty could protect her… but shed be expending her own mind if she did so. betty knew this was coming, and they agree.

simon leaves before marcy wakes up, taking nothing but a scrapbook hed been keeping from before the bombs, and the clothes on his back. they should have waited- its something theyll regret in the far, far future. he should have said goodbye. but they didnt think they had the willpower to go through with it if they heard her begging. at the very least, betty is there to offer support.

betty continues to hang out for several more years. she gets to see marceline grow up. marcy can see with every spell that betty is becoming more reckless, more eccentric, more distant.

betty finally loses herself protecting marceline during a vampire hunt. she holds on just long enough to get herself away from marcy.

and she begins to travel. until one day, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to a land of ice.

they dont remember who simon and betty are. all they know is that hes ice king and shes magic queen and they love each other.

Betty Grof/Magic Queen

basically the “main character” of this au lol

she begins using the name “magic princess” when she can no longer remember her old one. it feels right to her. she changes to queen when she and ice king get hitched. she doesnt use the name “ice queen” because she no longer pins her identity to just simon. shes got her own stuff going on. hes part of her life, but not her entire life.

magic queens not around the ice kingdom as often as ice king. she likes to explore and travel! a huge amount of the books on ruins, dungeons, and artifacts were penned by her, from hands on research. shes well known around ooo as somebody who can be dangerous, but is also a very reliable source of information.

shes more “grounded” than ice king. she doesnt remember anything from before the war, or for a while after it. as far as she knows she just spawned on ooo ready to dungeon dive. still, shes better at retaining information, and can read a room better. shes still pretty eccentric, though, and likes showing off.

magic queen was the one who beat the shit out of ash and got his magic carpet. she doesnt remember marcy, but like ice king, finds herself inexplicably drawn to her. so when ash hurts her, it puts him on her shit list.

speaking of, she can hold a grudge. she ends up cursing finn for a while because he beat up ice king based on a misunderstanding.

shes the one who had the idea for a giant library in the ice kingdom. ice king helped with the room layout, and she collected the books.

magic queens doing a lot better mentally than canon betty was. her relationship with ice king has become way more healthy and balanced. shes happily married. she has 53 penguin children. shes been able to chase her dreams, and her work is acclaimed and respected.

shes still a creecher tho. girl is skittering through those dungeons. does a backflip and shoots fireworks into your eyes. she is very bold and loves doing crazy things just to see what happens.

gets her own “i remember you” episode where she takes marcy dungeon diving.

ice king/simon petrikov

stay at home husband now lmfao

but fr. he fully supports magic queen, but hes a pretty forgetful and clumsy guy, so they both agree that he probably shouldnt be dungeon diving with her.

he keeps things stable at home. takes care of the penguins and writes fanfic and plays music in his free time. hes come to really enjoy creative pursuits, even when hes not particularly good at them.

magic queen puts a gun to your head and forces you to read fionna and cake. ice queen (simone) and magic king (benny) if you even care btw.

mq ended up putting a checklist up in the home to make sure ik doesnt forget to take care of himself. eat breakfast you goof

instead of kidnapping princesses, he goes out often to find things mq has mentioned wanting or needing for her research. sometimes he steals them and it gets him in trouble. if hes being a real jerk mq will only step in to take him home. sometimes that man deserved to get his ass whooped.

hes already nicer and more stable to start out with since he has somebody to talk to whos nice to him. people wonder why magic queen sticks around and if you ask her she will get mad. hes funny!!! and sweet!!! also hes canonically caked up.

he wants to be a dad soooo bad. he spoils the penguins.

Royal Family of House of Lenz-Aurgelmir

(Artist La_Maryd13)

An art I commission from Maryd13, from my AU Elduschland, which, ironically, this pic is also an AU of Elduschland. (Liberio Treaty AU: Queen Historia and Ymir went to Liberio, along allied delegates, to propose a peace treaty between them and Marley and manages to get it sign). In the Liberio Treaty AU, Historia and Ymir's daughter will be grown-up -they're still teenagers in this pic- and will be living during the time of Titans.

Here are their daughters' name and lore.

Frieda (15). The oldest, and therefore, the Crown Princess, and first in line for the throne. Being very devoted to her duties and is a service woman of the Scout Regiment (it's supposed to have a different name). She is a Hrailgner, meaning she wields one of the 9 (?) Titan with specific power and proper name, an elnar-class (15 meter) called Fenrir. She, like Ymir, Eren, and Zeke, is immune to the Curse.

Hannah (14). Second youngest daughter and twin sister to Wilhelm, she is in the military academy-a prestige one- and training to be a fighter pilot (ignore the sigil on her uniform). She's enthusiastic, easygoing and laid back, charismatic, and once she got older, a know player. She even earned a soubriquet, The Conquerer, and got into a polyamory (a man and a woman; she's bi) in her squad.

Wilhelm ( 14). Their only son and Hannah twin brother, Wilhelm is actually a trans man (well, transboy) and is in the military academy along with his sister. Unlike Hannah, Wilhelm joined the navy (again, ignore the sigil) once he's graduated, serving aboard a destroyer, and then a battlecruiser. There's a joke amongst the military and noble that Wilhelm is Historia and Ymir's least favorite children since they forced more on their Air Force than the Navy (oof). Wilhelm is the opposite of Hannah: more serious, stoic, and disciplined. While Hannah is bi, Wilhelm is gay.

Estrella (13). Their third daughter, Estrella has huge self-esteem issue: with having so many siblings (and the issue with their youngest sister), Historia and Ymir didn't pay as much attention to her, giving Estrella's huge mommy issue. Instead of joining a military academy, she becomes a socialite and romancing with Connie and Nkiruka's (nicknamed Kiki; my ofc) biracial son.

Marcille (11; I just realized other than Marcille, all four children were named after someone. Weird). The youngest of all the siblings, Marcille (or her nickname Marcy; yeah, i based her on Marcy Wu lol) is energetic, intelligent, and a mommy girl. Yet she is also easily distracted (she once went missing for almost a day while hiking with her siblings because something caught her attention), oblivious, and occasionally vocally muted. She has hyperfixation on amphibians, especially newts. The reason is that she has autism and Historia gives her the most attention, much to Estrella chagrin.

Ymir is the father to all five children. If you wondering how she's, is from both the Shawl Theory and this exchange:

Ymir: Eren, I need you to use your founding power to help me and historia to have children.

Eren: Sure, here's a penis.

Ymir: ... not exactly what I have in mind but I take it!

Mareach pregnancy AU (headcanons, history and facts)

Finally our mareach fankid is in the area! As I said in this post here, Mario and Peach are a t4t couple so you already know the context, also as I said in previous posts there will be other couples in this post.

One detail, when Mario and Peach have their children, Luigi and Daisy already had Laura, our mareach had already adopted Perry and the brothers were already kings of MK and Sarasaland.

I'm mentioning my friends @marioandsonicfangirl793-art, @silenzahra, @bberetd and @itsavee4117

And the people who love mareach and this couple's fankids @palskippah, @akiiame-blog, @ilikeicecoffee-blog, @auroraknux and @pinkcreamypeach (I follow them all on my blog fghmt)

Good reading for everyone who has been reading:

-> Suppose Laura was born, Mario was already nervous about how he would have children, even if he had Perry, let's say Laura was born in July (since it's the month of Luigi's day), Mario got pregnant a month later he got pregnant and maybe Mario was already suspicious, but soon Peach (and Luigi) noticed he was strange, Peach asked what was happening to her husband, Mario revealed everything to Peach, she comforted him saying that if Mario wanted to take the test, she would be by his side to help him. everything as he always was when Peach was in danger, so they agree to take the test. And after the test, they discover that it is positive and celebrate

-> Peach soon prepares a room for her children, Perry also helps a lot with this, he was very excited to have his brothers, he kept asking everyone what it was like to be an older brother, his parents were proud of Perry.

-> Luigi and Daisy are very happy with the news, they said that the babies would be great company for Laura (who was a few months old), as they would only be babies a few months apart. Furthermore, Luigi teased Mario, just like Mario did to Luigi when he was pregnant.

-> As Mario was a jack of all trades, it was difficult for him during the pregnancy, everyone wanted him to rest (especially Luigi and Peach), and what's worse, Luigi and Yoshi had just had their children, Peach soon woke up early for the royal chores, and left Mario relax, usually Luigi and Yoshi would visit Mario with their children to play with Perry and talk to Mario about his pregnancy.

-> During the night, Mario moved a lot, this worried Peach, making her sleep on the floor or in some room in the castle, he insisted that Peach sleep with him, but the queen was rebellious and said "I don't want to crush my king and my babies before born" and looked angrily at Mario >:(

-> As Mario and Luigi really like to visit other kingdoms, they both visited with their children, and it was also great for Perry to play with Laura and make her learn to walk. The two sat and talked (and watched the children) while the children played.

-> At the baby shower, Peach had an idea: They were going to get a very big balloon and put colored powder in it (if it was a girl it would be pink and if it was a boy it would be blue, like in normal aksjdksajd), she and Toadworth had this idea. So when Mario popped the balloon, PINK confetti came out, but then something else came out, two red and green teddy bears, when Mario (and Luigi) saw this, he found it confusing, but then they understood, it was TWIN GIRLS!

-> When the girls were born, they both had Peach's eyes and chin, but their hair and noses were Mario's, Daisy says "After mini Daisy, you two have two mini Mario" and everyone laughed, Daisy has a good sense of humor.

-> When the girls were born, Mario and Peach cried with happiness to see their children for the first time, but Perry was in tears, he was very emotional to see his sisters, he promised his parents that he would be the best big brother in the world.

-> The twins are called Marcy and Matilda (the name Marcy was inspired by Amphibia, I love her and I imagine the girl's energy is similar to her) I know they are strange names but I thought they were cute.

-> Laura (being the oldest by a few months) adores her little cousins.

-> The twins speak English, Italian and Spanish like Perry and Laura.

-> And lastly, Mario and Peach are relieved that the twins were born, and Perry is a great big brother (even though they fight a lot like brothers).

And that's it, if you liked it, thank you very much, if you didn't like it, it's not my problem, I tried hard, bye!

SPOILERS!!! REFERENCES AND EASTER EGGS IN F&C ep. 6: THE WINTER KING

This one didn't post before for some reason.

These fellas are iceclopses as seen in Prisoners of Love, and in the pilot episode before that.

This musical section is animated by Smallbu, who previously animated the story sections of Ketchup and most of Beyond the Grotto.

Cake selfcest moments volume 2.

Ice Marceline raises some questions! I've seen a lot of people theorise that this means Marcy is dead but I don't think that's necessarily true. Presumably she was pretty pissed off with the Winter King when he turned her ex into an insane maniac and lost some of himself in the process. What is a mystery is how the Winter King got his hands on her bass guitar, which she is very attached to.

The shopkeeper at the candy store is Lord Monochromicorn, who is mute just like in his original appearance. Also that vending machine is obviously modelled after the Gumball Guardians.

There's a brand of candy called Heartstopper. That's the name of a famous real-life series of British gay highschool romance graphic novels, which seems appropriate for this very slice-of-life Gumlee (Garylee?) subplot.

The humanised Lemongrabs are called the Lemoncarbs, which is what Tree Trunks mistakenly called them in the episode Mystery Dungeon.

The Winter King says it would be unethical to make an ice Betty, which is a bit hypocritical considering he has an ice Marcy in his basement.

This is humanised Bee Princess. They don't look very genderswapped but maybe he's just femme.

The Candy Queen's eyes match the eyes of Bubblegum's yak in the episode Bonnibel Bubblegum, which was itself a reference to Tank Girl.

Both songs in this episode were written by Pat McHale, who has been with the show since the pilot episode.

Fionna exclaims "This is what was missing!" while slicing up the banana guards, which is what Finn exclaimed for slightly more wholesome reasons in the episode What Was Missing.

Gary's innate desire to create the Candy Kingdom is manifesting itself in his baking. It was very dark seeing his cute biscuits paralleled with the real candy people being brutalised by Fionna and Cake.

It's still not clear why things keep getting de-magicked when Fionna and Cake interact with them. Perhaps it's just a passive ability they have because they come from a non-magic universe, but it doesn't happen to everything they touch.

Bubblegum seems to have learned how to use her candy powers in this universe despite the fact she was cursed a hundred years ago and presumably hasn't had the chance to learn that she's an elemental. Perhaps she learned it from her time being the Candy Queen.

When Marshall Lee asks for more details about Gary's Candy Kingdom, he begins describing the plot of Slumber Party Panic, the first episode of Adventure Time.

According to production notes, baby world was created by BMO's wish. The monkey's paw twist was that he lost his personhood and became a baby monitor.

This episode's dream features an ice fortress shaped like the crown.

Out of Mind, Out of Sight Fashion Part Two

Buffy’s ‘look out’ outfit: 9/10

Amazing. I love this mauve colour of the top and the brown leather is very cute. I wish it was a little less wrinkled looking. Her make up is stellar as well.

Angel’s ’overrated pleasure’ outfit: 7/10

I definetly perfer the button down to the tank top. The collar is a bit over the top though.

Xander’s ‘have a nice summer’ outfit: 6/10

It's not terrible but I also wouldn't really call it an outfit. It just feels like he threw on clothes, which works for his character.

Willow’s ’have a great summer’ outfit: 7/10

I think this is cute. I don't like the solid tights. But I like the dress and the zip-up is and pigtails are so adorable. I like the jewelry too.

Buffy’s ‘thundering looney’ outfit: 9/10

I didn't always like this outfit, mainly because of the scarf. But it's grown on me and I now think it is kinda cute for the look. I top is super cute (how is she not getting dress-coded?) and the pants work well. And the sunglasses are nice.

Cordelia’s ‘me me me’ outfit: 8/10

The dress is very sweet and the headband brings it all together. I think it's interesting because this outfit gives off sweet and innocent vibes with the all-over yellow and the Shirley Temple curls. Meanwhile, she is being targeted because she's mean and a bully and when the scoobies learn that Cordelia is being targeted, none of them question why because they all agree that she's hateable. So what does her outfit mean? Does it show that Cordelia is fake and pretends to be nice and charming when it suits her (like when she wants to be spring fling queen) or does it reveal a side of her that she keeps hidden, a side that's more vulnerable and caring (like when she shows empathy for Marci's loneliness)? I think it could be both. I think that the person she pretends to be might be closer to the person she is deep down, or at least, the person she could be.

Angel’s ’same old thing’ outfit: 5/10

-_-

Sasha: *Comes over to Marcy*

Marcy: Can I help you Sashy?

Sasha: Newt-hing will stand in my way.

Marcy: *Looks at her* Stop being such a newt-saince.

Sasha: *Smirks* There are newt-merous reasons to love newt puns.

Anne: *Comes in the room*

Sasha: Hey Anne.

Anne: No.

Sasha: What do you call a confused salamander?

Anne: I swear-

Sasha: One that axolotl questions.

Anne: …. Actually that would be great at work, thanks Sasha.

Sasha: Anytime my queen.

Marcy: What do you call a salamander that loves to joke?

Anne: Sasha?

Marcy: A silly-mander.

Sasha: Yes this has been a PUNday for me.

As much as Anne groans at Sasha’s puns, she does love them and even uses some at work for the “Message from Amphibia” puzzle board

Finally got around to drawing Bug World's version of Ice King, but it's Ice Queen (Betty!) Infodumping about her underneath the readmore 👍

She has an urge to collect cursed artifacts for reasons she can't remember, and is the one who mainly raised Marcy in this AU. Ice Betty retains her memories sliiiiiightly better than Ice King, still very frazzled up in that brain of hers though.

Simon is kinda sorta somewhat alive??? in Bug World- he's on ice for now. Literally. Heeee's frozen in ice until Betty can find a cursed object to make sure he revives properly (if/when she actually remembers why she has an urge to collect them to revive him that is).

Instead of penguins, she has snow fleas (aka springtails) working for her! They all are still named Gunther. They have a tendency to get on Scarab's nerves when Liam has to deliver packages to her.

She has so many sweater dresses that she makes herself (and 100% has made the best friends shirts for Liam's group) and always wearing stocking socks with crocs. Ice Betty has so many sweater dresses with penguins and for any occasion. Still has her glasses, but doesn't wear them often.

Acts like an eccentric grandma, and is yet another person that Liam calls granny.

Beasts absolutely HATE going near her palace and steer clear of the place. Unfortunately most insect folk also dislike the cold immensely so they don't visit or liver there except for a very few exceptions. Its why Liam is one of the few couriers that deliver to her.

Finn and Jake aren't allowed to go with them when they have a cursed artifact to deliver to her, because of one incident with the lamb relic. Both Finn and Jake got stuck in it and Liam was a bundle of anxiety after that.

can we hear more about hazel and her family!!

hazel has one younger sister named marceline but everyone calls her marcy (9), and one older sister named elizabeth but everyone calls her liz (21)! theyre all super close. they spent their childhood bickering everyday, trying new makeup products on each other, sharing clothes and sharing secrets. there was never one without the other! now hazel and liz are both in college, leaving marcy behind in seattle.

liz goes to the university of washington, while hazel goes to cal state fullerton. liz has a boyfriend named mark - he’s a business major and a total frat guy. sweetest guy anyone has ever met though (not including beckett, of course).

marcy is currently into sonny angels and white tees that say random phrases in cursive, like “je t’aime” or “drama queen”. hazel didn’t quite understand the obsession, but marcy says it’s what everyone wears nowadays. marcy currently has more boyfriends than hazel has ever had at a whopping 3 guys. one kid from the first grade, two from the 4th grade (love triangle at its finest).

hazel has a loving mother named christine. she’s a nurse, so she’s always working, but she manages to find time to hang out with her kids and give her unsolicited mom advice on their love lives. she’s their biggest cheerleader and their best friend.

their dad, john (to which they call him “pops” because dad just sounds weird), works in marketing for a major tech company called “luther intercorps”. if there’s a situation going on in the house and there needs to be a good cop, bad cop— john is 1000% the good cop. he hates seeing his girls sad and he used to take them out for ice cream all the time when they were younger if any of them were crying or remotely upset. he is the biggest girl dad ever and will hurt anyone that tries to break one of his girls’ hearts.

he hasn’t found out about beckett yet. 😄

pops claims he doesn’t have a favorite, but everyone knows it’s hazel. he calls her “hazelnut” because of her name and because it’s her favorite ice cream flavor. they watched football together all the time and they rooted for the same teams and the same players. she was a legit carbon copy of him. but during high school, she grew to be a bit more like her mom, which made him love her even more.

so finding out about beckett, her first real boyfriend, is definitely going to be an interesting experience lol

[via-the-cryptid]

So how does Snow Queen react to Magic Simon? Does she still recognize him?

It takes her a minute to realise who it is, but she’s pretty happy to see him once she connects the dots. Magic Simon came back to her, after all, which means that her prince loves her and wants to be with her! who cares if he left, he must not have meant to leave permanently if he’s back now.

He doesn’t stay entirely in the Snow Kingdom, but it is where he spends the most time. now that he’s left and come back once, Snow Queen is slightly less paranoid about him leaving forever, and she’s also a little less protective now that he’s got magic strong enough to beat most things on Ooo (keyword there is a ‘little’, she’s still keeping those golems up for guarding and she always likes to know where he’s going and when he’ll be back — just in case). Magic Simon becomes somewhat of a fixture in the Snow Kingdom, and now that she’s got her prince back, Snow Queen doesn’t really bother anyone anymore. they’re all still a little bit scared of her since most of Ooo has seen what she’s like when she’s legitimately pissed off (see: the Sugar Snow War), but she’s just not really causing much trouble anymore.

the greater population of Ooo has taken to calling Magic Simon ‘Magic Prince’, since SQ always calls him a prince and he’s very insistent that it’s not Snow Prince, it’s Magic Simon. this is the best compromise they can come up with, so except for a select few (Finn, Jake, Marcy, and a few others), he’s Magic Prince. Simon doesn’t mind that too much, so Snow Queen doesn’t mind it either.

[sunshine-zenith]

Also let’s talk about how the crown affected Farmworld Finn and the Winter King

Finn Mertens isn’t the warm(get it), happy guy we’re used to. He’s still protective and badass, but he stays out of trouble. Some of it is clearly just the world he lives in — the Farmworld isn’t the safest place overall — but he shuts down at the mention of the crown. The opening scene of Destiny shows the “Snowman” attack a family, including a baby, potentially killing them — even if he doesn’t really remember that (like Simon only has fuzzy memories of being Ice King), the knowledge alone is enough to haunt someone for the rest of their life

Winter King, meanwhile, was clearly living in denial — he redirects attention to all the gifts he could give than focus on his time as Ice King, he refuses to admit the awful thing he did to his Princess Bubblegum, and he claims not to remember Betty before suggesting Simon replace her with magic. This last bit, he tries to play it off as a joke and calls it unethical, but we see an Ice Marcy in the castle — he’s aware that the shit he pulls is messed up and he’s fine with hiding it.

The thing is, he lived with the curse for like 900-ish years before finding a way to offload most of the curse onto another person. Candy Queen is a danger to him, and even if she isn’t he clearly doesn’t enjoy her being around him. But he’s choosing to let her keep existing — he’s chosen for years to let someone else suffer the way he suffered, because he’d rather face inconvenience/danger/the knowledge of how fucked up his actions are than go back to the crown

Let’s look at how these two compare to Simon — while he’s overall been more alright with talking about the way the crown affected him than Finn Mertens, he’s also willing to go back to it. Sure, Ice King doesn’t have the weight of fairly recent human murders on his back, but the guy was technically a villain and did hurt people. On the other hand, neither of them are coping with the crown’s aftermath well. Finn and Simon both seem to have unhealthy relationships with alcohol to cope with the crown — Simon’s shown binge drinking and seems to be a regular at the bar. Finn on the other hand has children and is clearly doing his best to provide to them, so I doubt he gets wasted often, and the one time Jay said he did, it seemed like an accident, but it’s notable that the only time he was willing to talk about his trauma was after he had gotten drunk

That lack of warmth (get it lol get it) I mentioned earlier is something they both share as well. Finn still has his Jake and clearly loves his dog, but he pulls his daughter away from Jake to have her do chores, even though Jake was clearly itchy and very much doesn’t have the strength or flexibility to properly scratch the itch. Finn’s children are well cared for, but quiet. They clearly don’t expect much affection from their father, and seem pretty used to him being unhappy/short with them. Simon, meanwhile, shows remorse for making Astrid cry but doesn’t make up for it when she returns. He isn’t reaching out to Marceline, even though she’s basically his daughter and would totally welcome him around (plus Bubblegum seems pretty happy to hear from him as well). It had only called back later or something, they could’ve talked about how he was trying, he clearly was, but he still needs help.

They also share an aversion to cold it seems — Simon’s reaction to the ice in his drink, all the times Finn Mertens stares into open fire (though maybe there’s a chance his wife could’ve been the Farmworld’s equipment of Flame Princess, but you gotta admit this series is really leaning into Finn/Huntress Wizard). It’s notable that, after wheedling ice magic as a teenager, the adult Finn Mertens builds a flamethrower into his prosthetic arm

Simon and Winter King, meanwhile, have some interesting parallels in how they treat Fionna and others. Simon’s so at the end of his rope and not coping that he’s willing to return to mental hell, essentially go though with magical suicide, under the guise of helping Fionna and Cake. Sure, his desire to help them is genuine, but his self sacrifice here is deeply unhealthy. Winter King is meanwhile behaving horrifyingly selfish, but with equally desperate motivations (the PB/CQ situation), and he’s hiding behind it by giving out presents and entertainment. He’s genuinely fulfilling Cake and Fionna’s wishes, and is sincerely trying to fulfill’s Simon’s “need” for a new crown. He’s gleefully giving them tours and playing games and inviting Simon into his lab. Shoot, he doesn’t have to use magic to give Cake Wi-Fi but he does anyway

The difference is that Simon is doing something self destructive with his need to help Fionna, while Winter King is distracting from how destructive his actions are by giving Fionna what she wants

Then there’s their respective Bettys. Simon’s not coping with losing Betty, like, at all. She either doesn’t exist anymore or she’s more or less become a god. He’s trying to summon a way to her instead of living his life. Winter King meanwhile is acting like Betty meant nothing to him. Sure, he’s had at least a hundred years to properly work through her death, but like. He’s a Simon. And he seems to have even less of a support system than our Simon — his only friends are a couple of ice people he made. Dude totally hasn’t sat down with his grief to work through it. He clearly isn’t letting the past go even though he’s acting like it doesn’t matter to him (the Ice Marcy thing)

I don’t have a conclusion, other than like. Ya know. The crown hurts people. And clearly the multiverse doesn’t have a therapist that specializes in helping people working through that pain
