❓️ What is something we might not know about your story yet?

While there's a lot to talk about with my story, I think I'll choose to talk about one of the minor characters.

Captain Eos!

An adopt I adopted from @youronlydrpepper, Eos is the captain of Glinda the Good Witch's Army and her right hand among other things wink wonk

He can shapeshift into the form of a phoenix if he's in danger or needs a fast way to travel/escape or be getting a smooching.

He'll be playing a role in helping the nutcracker, Clara, and Dorothy escape Princess Pilripat and make it to the Emerald City.

A Zelda game where Hyrule castle is invaded before Link can be reborn and the hero’s spirit inhabits and animates a doll Zelda had in her bedroom.

Same open-world exploration as Breath of the Wild, just on a smaller scale. During the final boss you kill Ganondorf after climbing him Shadow of the Colossus style and stab him in the eye with a fork

Imagine an employee with a nutcracker themed suit... complete with the shotgun and all.

...Okay maybe not the shotgun if that would provoke them.

i had an idea for an employee thats just one of the nutcracker critters hiding in one of the suits (kinda counts)

[luxmoogle]

Does ‘Sugar Plum Fairy’ Kairi have a special Keyblade too?

Neither them actually have one in the AU, but if she did, maybe it would be something like..

Question for an oc I'm thinking about making. Would Krampus ever turn someone innocent into a toy and take them to toyland if they asked / begged? And has that ever happened before?

It's a question I've been asked a couple times, and I would say yes, he would - but only if they really convinced him and had a good reason to.

And yes, an innocent has become a toyfolk once before.

[lokibrainrot]

Feed us, kind fella... more nutcracker ship art... idc who it's with i'll eat it no matter what, i'm SO starved.....

Wanted to spoil you, friend, have as many as I could make

He is so gentle. He must be.

How did I find out about the Nutcracker?

I mean aside from the ballet score during the holidays, I think Barbie and the Nutcracker was my main introduction to the story over all. Over the course of my time on the internet I ended up discovering @shinyzango, @hntrgurl13, and @theevilemster's takes on the Nutcracker story, before going down the rabbit hole of other fantastic takes on the story, such as @inkabelledesigns, @noovamulticolors, yours, and many others.

Around 2013, I was doing researching and trying to work out a doll line inspired by fairytales and RPG classes, and I wanted to have an overarching storyline to tie the dolls together and began the initial story concepting that would eventually become the story I'm currently working one :D

The Wayne doll house

Have some haunted doll au, since it's been bubbling away in my mind.

The bat cave is large and sprawling, many layers and tunnels and hollowed out cracks in the walls. It takes many years to fully reinforce to prevent stray kids from tripping into stagnant waters or fall down crags as he once did. The doll cave, as it becomes known, is in one of the deepest, darkest corners, one where the lights of the furnished caverns above don't reach.

It's one late night sitting at the computer when it suddenly occurs to Bruce that his first encounter with a doll was at the well entrance, many levels above.

There was nothing there when he went back.

The justice league stared at the subaru. The subaru, having no eyes, did not stare back.

The seven of them had just finished a very long, arduous mission, and narrowly escaped government censure after the base they'd been raiding had turned out to belong to some corrupt official. With the alert up, they couldn't escape through city airspace, or even in their hero suits.

So civilian it was.

Batman had hotwired some bloke's car while the rest of them ducked into alleys and shop bathrooms, but the problem remained. There was seven of them. And five seats.

"I can shift into something more suitable for being carried," suggested j'onn, "but I believe one of us might have to hide."

"Foot well?" Hal tried, and everyone looked around at the tall, bulky, broad heroes.

"Think they'd have to go in the boot," Barry finally said. Everyone immediately turned to him. "No."

Batman spoke up before the discussion could devolve.

"I think.... I would be best for that."

The team stared.

"Batsy?"

Having no lungs meant he could not drag in the tired sigh he wished, but whatever force allowed this body to talk was capable of approximating something suitably resigned.

"As I am, I am... incapable of fully passing as human. It would be best if I remained out of sight."

"So just? Go change? I swear we won't be weird about whoever you are under the mask. Even if you're like, bald."

"Thank you, Wally, but I'm afraid I'm being serious." Reaching for the mask in broad daylight was unpleasant, but the glue and wires held as he gave it a few thorough tugs. "It doesn't detach."

Everyone stared. Clark reached out as if he wanted to check, but withdrew.

"Do you even have a civilian identity??" Oliver eventually asked. "Because at this point I'm genuinely not sure."

Wayne Enterprises and Queen Industries had a meeting that same evening. "Hn."

"Can we go back to the 'incapable of passing as human' part?!"

"We can discuss it in the car," he snapped, stalking past Barry and popping the boot. "In case you haven't forgotten, we're on a time limit."

For once, that seemed to encourage them, and batman, with great dignity, folded his joints and cape into the small space, ignoring Hal's mutter of 'what kind of contortionist -' as he slammed the lid. With a little shuffling he managed to activate his comms.

"I will inform the watchtower of our delay."

"Batman, they're tapping all outgoing signals, you can't -"

"It won't trigger," he interrupted, before he twisted his consciousness and sent it spiralling across the country.

Bruce awoke with a groan, stretching his limbs and taking a moment to marinate in his annoyance before he reached for the comm and voice modulator on the beside table.

"Batman to watchtower, we've encountered delays. If the Texan state government calls we haven't entered the state in six weeks. Batman out."

-

"Alien?"

"No."

"Reanimated corpse?"

"No."

"Uh... Demon?"

"Hm. No."

"You're not just a meta human, are you?"

"No."

"Vampire?"

"No."

"Robot??"

"No."

"Batsy, please, someone's got to win the bet eventually. How do we even know you're not lying?!"

"You don't," Batman said, not looking up from his paperwork and Flash groaned, letting his sticky notes fall to the floor as he buried his head in his arms.

"One day," he bemoaned to the keyboard, "one day we'll figure it out."

"Until then please keep your eyes on the monitors."

Flash groaned again.

Robin ducked under superman's arm as he scuttled down the corridor, laden with the night's haul of snacks. The real problem wasn't getting them - stopping league members from raiding the kitchen would be extremely counterproductive - but keeping them until he could return home to his human body to eat them. Batman had started searching him each time they left and it was really cutting into his daily sugar intake. Unfair! Just because he didn't actually use energy to stay up my night to fight crime, it felt like he did!!

'Oh, you're broken, Robin, oh, don't go out until the glue has fully set, Robin' his arm was fine! It wasn't like there was much crime to be fought on the watchtower anyway! At least not physically.

So he was pretty pleased with himself until he went to set the snacks down and found that the tar like glue they used had soaked through the sleeve and gotten all over his chocolates.

With his other hand, he tried to pry them off, wincing as the wrappers tore and stuck. He tried to shake it, ignoring the way his elbow rattled in the joint.

"Come on, come on - aw, cheezits."

The arm fell off. Robin stared despondently at the limb, surrounded by torn wrappers and dripping black glue where it connected to the elbow. The sour stink of formaldehyde filled the air.

He was going to be in such trouble with Bruce.

The click of the door jerked his head up.

Flash stood in the doorway, wide eyed. Robin stared back.

Flash screamed.

Oh yeah @dehydratedmockingbird have a thing

Surprise the funky nutcracker with a car, learn him to drive a little. Instruct him to go In a car wash. Take the keys and leave the nutcracker inside to experience THE DOOM of the car wash. Then apologize to him for being a meanie and offer him a job at Walmart or just some nutcracker icecream (I genuinely can't think help me). Nutcracker happy, anons happy :)
