#pinocchio swap

[naivesilver]

Literally no explanation as to why I woke up so early this morning thinking about them, but the idea wouldn't leave me alone, so... enjoy?

⁓⁓⁓⁓⁓

Gina cracks an eye open and immediately notices two things: one, it's very much night-time still, and two, there's a suspiciously Pinocchio-shaped and not-sleeping lump under the blanket.

She resists the need to sigh - growing ducks should have plenty of sleep for their peace of mind, and that's simply not possible when there's a boy writhing like an eel in the bed with them - and stands up, waddling over and burrowing under the covers herself. "What are you doing?"

Pinocchio has the grace to look a little guilty when he notices her, at least, or maybe it's just that it's kind of dark in there, and Gina's eyes are still droopy and tired. They get to have a nightlight now, along with the faint glow coming in from the window, but neither of those can do much with layers of wool and fabric in the way. "Just thinking."

"Well, whatever you're thinking about- can't it wait? You've got school in the morning."

Instead of saying she's right, which would be the wise thing to do, Pinocchio makes an odd face, all scrunched up and thoughtful. "I was thinking about school."

"Really?" Gina struggles to believe it, but then again, the nose didn't grow, so maybe she's about to be surprised.

"I was thinking- most people at school have a mom and a dad, right? Or at least one of those. Or something like that."

"That's how the world works, Pinocchio. Lots of people we met had a mom and a dad."

"But I don't have any of that. Is that weird?"

"We're both weird already, it's not a new thing." The duck yawns - she's really not in the mood for deep thoughts, especially not way after their bedtime. "And you had old Geppetto, anyway."

She probably shouldn't have mentioned that, because he goes very still for a moment, looking away from her. Neither of them really regrets staying in Storybrooke, but it remains a difficult thing to talk about, even after so long. "Yeah, but he was old," the boy mutters, muffled against the bedsheets. "Old like a grandfather. Like Mr. Marco. He didn't count."

Gina hums distractedly, not knowing what to say next. She's not quite sure there is anything she can say that would make things better - Pinocchio didn't lie this time, either. She was right the first time: this is simply how the world works, and they couldn't change it even if they tried.

Perhaps there was no need to say more, though, because after a moment Pinocchio speaks up again, even quieter this time: "D'you think August would want to be my dad?"

To her credit, Gina does consider it intently, tired or not. "Maybe. He locks your window and comes to pick you up from school. You should ask him."

"What?" The puppet scoffs, like he does every time he thinks she's said something ridiculous. "No. That'd be stupid. I always get in the way. I bet he doesn't want me around more."

He rolls onto his side, then, stifling a yawn of his own and rubbing at his eyes. "Maybe I'll ask him when I become real. Maybe he'll say yes, if I'm not a puppet anymore."

The logic is far from sound, but by now they're both too drowsy to care, so Gina only nods, padding closer to him and curling up again under his chin. "Maybe. But it's late now. We'll think about it in the morning, okay?"

"Uh-uh," Pinocchio mumbles, not sounding like he's paying attention at all. "Goodnight, Gina."

"Goodnight, Pinocchio," she says, and closes her eyes, ready to drift back to sleep-

-even as she distantly hears the bedroom door click, as though it had been left ajar before and someone had just bothered to close it.

Gemini: alright girl, the king of puppets was defeated, now let's see if-

*king of puppets mecha explodes*

P: ... I think it's the queen... the queen of puppets.

Gemini: WHA-

[midnightdemonhunter]

Finally finished my lineup of Destiny's Children from Neverafter! ...Wait, what do you mean I got it wrong?

[mpsideadump]

Funny thought that I may or may not expand into its own one shot later:

Gemini and P body swap.

Like, just imagine how Gemini would react to having an actual humanoid form and taking advantage of that immediately.

Meanwhile P can only watch in silent terror at the trouble Gemini gets into while looking like him. I mean, P gets in trouble all the time, but it's a different kind of trouble where the other residents of Hotel Krat just become utterly confused at "P's" suddenly more extroverted behavior.

Example:

Gemini (waving and doing all sorts of expressive hand motions while speaking): Heya Eugenie! How are you doing? You having a good morning so far? Watcha workin' on by the way? Oh, and good day to you Spring! Who's a good kitty?

Spring: *cautiously backs away from Gemini and retreats, hiding behind Eugenie*

Eugenie: I...uh...are you feeling okay P? Are you sick???

P (whispering): Gemini you're supposed to be acting like me.

Gemini: Oh, don't worry Pal. I got this!

P: I...*chirps and sighs as he gives up*

Figaro was Walt Disney's favorite character in "Pinocchio" from 1940. Disney pushed for the kitten to appear in the film as much as possible. After the film, Disney swapped Minnie Mouse's pekingese Fifi with Figaro, starting with the cartoon "First Aiders (1944)." Figaro also got his own series of "Figaro" cartoons beginning with "Figaro and Cleo (1943)." He would have four cartoons of his own, two appearances in the "Pluto" cartoon series, and also appear in the promotional animated wartime short "All Together (1942)," for a total of seven cartoon appearances. This, plus the one feature film "Pinocchio," makes eight appearances of Figaro overall.

A follow up to this because Libby brought up Granny and general Storybrooke-denizen protectiveness and I honestly couldn't resist ahsfgahsgfhg

“I have several questions,” Regina says, the moment she sits down at the diner table. 

August grins ruefully at her, though it barely reaches his eyes. “Well, I only have one, so maybe you should go first and get them out of the way.”

Beside him, the boy doesn't even look up, chewing on what looks like the remains of a sandwich, squished against the wall with his gaze fixed on the street outside the window. He looks worn out and very, very small, for all that a wooden face can't possibly change that much. 

No matter. That's not the most urgent issue. “Emma said you took off after the kid and left quite a few people hanging. Why did you call me instead of, I don't know, your father? And why did you ask me to come here instead of taking him home?”

“We'll go home soon, and explain what happened to everyone else. We were just taking a breather somewhere public, where other people could keep an eye on us. Thought it was a safer bet. Right, kid?”

The last comment is directed at the little puppet at his side, but after several seconds pass without an answer, August sighs and turns back towards her. “I assume Emma also told you what happened?”

“Briefly, yes. She said this one's fairy came to visit, and that it was not exactly a joyful occasion.” To put it mildly, Regina adds privately, though she wagers it must be palpable in her tone. 

“Pretty much. That's why I called you. I know I don't have any right to do that, but I need to ask you for a favor.”

“Don't be ridiculous.” There are multiple people in town she'd dread having to offer a favor to, but it's a slimmer group nowadays, and it certainly doesn't involve the likes of August Wayne Booth. “Ask away. Though I'm warning you- if it's a tornado to take her away you need, you'll have to check in with your sheriff first.”

At that, Pinocchio seems to regain the gift of speech - he glances up with worried eyes, toying with the empty napkin in his hands. “I don't want the fairy to get hurt. Gina would be upset.”

“No one's getting hurt,” August reassures him, even if he's addressing Regina again soon enough. 

“But I was wondering- can you make sure she can't take him to another realm? Is there a spell for that?”

“Of course.” And now she's starting to have a clearer picture of the situation, too. “I would need to check a couple things, but if you bring him around tomorrow, I'm pretty sure I can pull it off.”

Regina pauses as she notices Granny approaching their table, carrying a plate of what looks like chocolate cake - she places it right in front of the boy, much to August's blatant confusion. “Uh, I don't think we ordered this-”

“No, you didn't,” the old woman says, with the brusque, stern warmth that characterizes her. “But that's the face of a boy who needs some dessert, mark my words- don't worry, it's on the house.”

Ah, Storybrooke hospitality. There's nothing quite like it. Pinocchio doesn’t seem to have adjusted to it yet, however - his eyes grow wide as he takes the cake in, and he turns to August with a look that is not exactly pleading, but is still more animated than what he’s displayed since Regina walked in.

As for August himself… Well. Regina has been accused many times of not being able to say no to Henry, but she doesn’t think she’s seen that look in the mirror since her son was very small, honestly. “Sure,” the man says, not too steadily. “Dig in.”

Apparently a bit reinvigorated, the child grabs the fork and begins going to town on his newly acquired dessert, but August still doesn’t take his eyes off him, an unreadable expression on his face. It makes Regina want to sigh aloud, along with cursing a certain subspecies of fairies, but neither of those options might be socially acceptable, so instead she limits herself to saying: “Anyway, I mean it. If you can manage to keep an eye on him for the night, tomorrow I’ll make sure he gets a protection spell that’s strong enough against foreign magic.”

Then, pitching her voice to a mock-conspirative tone, she whispers to the boy, her lips curling upwards ever so slightly: “But I can still make her disappear if you want, alright? Just say the word.”

And she counts it as a win that Pinocchio very nearly smiles at her, his previous gloominess momentarily set aside as he hides shily behind his sweet and August’s protective arm.

As time goes by, I realized Ace is always left behind from Deuce, Yuu,and Grimm whenever something seriously happened. In Glorious Masquerade, Deuce was chosen and Yuu and Grimm were invited because of Grimm begging which left Ace behind in school not knowing they were in serious danger. In the White Rabbit festival, Ace was too busy to come to Deuce's hometown which made him the only member not to join in. The starlight event has Yuu,Grimm, and Deuce help with the wishes. And let's not forget that the second Halloween event in which Yuu and Grimm aren't that active where Ace has to rescue his friends only to learn about Malleus being behind it with the help of Yuu and Grimm even to the point that Ace looks deeply upset and felt frustrated that everyone forgotten about what they done and just party.

Sure there are times where Deuce was left behind while Ace isn't but it is shorter compare to the reverse. Like Ghost Marriage, Deuce volunteer only to be slap by the ghost and gotten himself stun which is only a short time they were seperate, Fairy Gala is more of a what if scenario. The latest stitch event seems to one event where the danger is high without Deuce and include Ace given they were trapped in the book. But if you compare to Deuce and Ace, seems like Ace is always left behind and that times in seriousness is Yuu and Grimm mostly with Deuce than with Ace.

Unless the Pinocchio event will have Ace join in with Deuce, Yuu, and Grimm (Given the chance he might have the event card since he wasn't included in the Masquerade event or the possibility that Ace is still not included but more in his perspective like the second halloween event), seems like Ace is a bit left behind.

I mean... maybe so (although personally, I don't see it)?? But I don't think it's with any malicious intent or to indicate that Ace isn't important to the friend group. It's probably just the devs having to come up with excuses or circumstances (ie "Ace was given an invite, but has basketball practice so he can't go with them to White Rabbit Fest") due to the predetermined limitations placed on the game (ie "welp, we already have our 4 limited characters for this event, so no space for Ace"). All of the examples mentioned were events, which are pretty limited in the boys that can be included as the themed cards. Some of the event stories just wouldn't play out as well if Ace is expected to swap in or to be present every time Deuce or Yuu/Grim goes somewhere. (That would also just unfairly give Adeuce more event cards than any other boy.) Yuu and Grim didn't even necessarily spend "more" time with Deuce in some cases (they went around checking in with every group in Glorious Masquerade). I also think Ace's absence in that particular event was well-utilized for a funny punchline, so it's not as though nothing came out of his exclusion. I'm sure his role and Deuce's will eventually zero out anyway, since the next Halloween event will give him some screen time (although not necessarily glued to Yuu/Grim at the hip). If you think about the events Ace or Deuce have been features in, they often being up the other boy or actively go out of their way to get a souvenir for them—the other guy is out of sight, but definitely not out of mind. I don't believe Yuu, Grim, and Deuce were always necessarily caught up in "serious danger" or high stakes either (Wish Upon a Star and White Rabbit Fest, for example). In the case of Endless Halloween Night, Deuce was possessed by a ghost and was also separated from the others (with Ace as a rescuer and Yuu and Grim as part of the pranking group). I think Ace's frustration in that event wasn't even totally directed at his friends for "leaving him behind". In Ace's Halloween vignettes, he expresses upset at Malleus for not understanding the gravity of the situation and for making him worry about the safety of his friends. (We also see many instances of Adeuce, Yuu, and Grim hanging out on a regular basis in these vignettes, which clues us in to just how much time they already spend in each others' presence. A few events apart isn't a big deal compared to how often they see each other regularly.)

Ace definitely does get his own moments to shine (Ghost Marriage, Lost in the Book with Stitch, and Fairy Gala: If to a lesser extent; he even gets to meet Yuu and Grim in the prologue before Deuce does), whether that's in the presence of Deuce, Yuu, and Grim or not. I don't think the others' absence really adds or takes away anything from Ace's character.

Just because the group splits up sometimes or aren't always depicted together doesn't detract from their friendship or mean one person is being neglected. The characters are all individuals, not monoliths expected to always hang out with the exact same people. It's nice to see them as a unit, of course, but everyone needs time apart too. I don't even know if "left behind" is an apt term for most of these instances; most of the time, the characters are not traveling super far away or deliberately leaving Ace out from the festivities. He's still around, just not playing as big of a role due to how the events are structured.

This book of fairytales has a different emblem on its cover, and different, darker ink to write its stories. But the heroes on its pages are the same-- in spirit, if not in image. (Or: The beginning of a Neverafter Swap Au)

Finally got back to this au! Read for six fractured fairy tales, six new designs, and one new ominous world!

I think the reason you rarely ever see dimension 20 swap aus is because you can't really decide whether to swap the players as well. (Is specifically only talking about the intriprid hero's this time.)

Cause a gorgug With Figs characteristics would be VERY different in Zacs hands then in Emily's. Each of the players has a very iconic through line with their PC's.

Zac plays weird little guys who ultimately always mean well though smug shy anxious or yk. Just skip.

Emily plays loud outspoken characters typically learning they're enough as they are. Weird girls!! Fucking love an Emily brand weird

Ally plays some ironically bitchy characters. Usually growing into their identity in unfortunate circumstances.(Liam, Kristen, Hell if you wanna stretch it Tim too. Him learning about the book though I do really have my issues with tim.)

Lou usually always plays a team player. Profoundly stupid or profoundly out of their depth but ultimately kind people who have their helping of issues. (Pinocchio is my personal favorite. He's a drifting child.)

Murph. Sweet should never roll ever again murph plays characters who have already gone through their downfall and have to pick themselves back up again in time.(Riz, Barry) Or bad people who have to learn that they do kinda suck. (Gerard, Cody, Kugrash) Theobald is also there. I love him.

Siobhan MY FAVORITE. Siobhan has her own brand of weird girl but God she is really good at playing girls who are learning that the rules and ideas they had before are sometimes going to be broken

Ultimately each player has their own flavoring and honestly it's really cool. Just makes silly little aus a bit of a stretch of da ol noggin

Does anyone have / know where to find that amazing piece of fan art that swaps the to personifications of Death from Piss in Boots: The Last Wish and Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio? The one where Pinocchio is playfully hanging off of Lobo's outstretched arm?

I know I reblogged that post multiple times but it's just not showing up in my past posts for some reason.......

I was thinking about these species swapped lab rats designs again. What if they switched around naming conventions too :]

Ramblings under the cut <3

So to be clear, the details that get swapped:

From Moe - living cartoon, has some short, old-fashioned name

From Ollie - genetically-altered human, named after flower/plant

From Rat - demon from hell, uses scientific animal name 👍

So we have swap one:

Moe -> Aster- Human given toon powers via science, only a partial success. Wears a plastic cat mask and can never keep their shoes tied. The cartoon violence is a little more unsettling when they still look human.

Ollie -> Insecta- A demon of envy working under Beelzebub, very proud of her work. Commands an army of little demon bugs. Secretly very fond of human things, but she swears she's totally not staying up here.

Rat -> Dick- Cartoon mascot that came to life as part of some experiment in the 20s, broke out of containment to become a Real Boy. Like if mickey mouse had a pinocchio arc that involved naming himself a swear. Tends to drip ink.

And swap two:

Moe -> Felis- A cat-like imp with supposedly "no alignment", escaped from Hell and having a hard time blending in with humans. Trying to be a nice little guy, but sadly they are tall and scary. Spikes at the end of their tail may be poisonous.

Ollie -> Olive- Cartoon bug person created in a lab accident (i want to say spiderman-style, "bitten by a radioactive cockroach", but idk how that'd work ><). SO much stronger than she looks, will throw an entire car at you. Extra set of arms tucked under sweater.

Rat -> Thyme- Test subject with a little bit of rat DNA in him. Got disease-controlling powers out of it, but it turns out the human body doesn't handle that well. No one can tell when you're sleeping if you're always wearing sunglasses.

Now, the fun part about the labs' inter-dimensional bullshit is that canonically these characters could show up in the lab. Not that I'd actually pull some comic book "fighting alternate universe selves" thing. Unless I really run out of ideas. But it's an option!
