Clairvoyant Cousins AU- New Idea!!! (Dupain-Cheng/Anciel Cousins)

New AU idea from ya girl! Enjoy! @imsparky2002 @artzychic27

So I was always a huge fan of American Dragon: Jake Long, and the Oracle Twins, Sara and Kara, were my favorite characters. So I thought of this. (Sara-Marinette, Kara-Marc)

Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Marc Anciel, paternal cousins, were born on the same night at the exact same time, under the light of a full harvest moon.

This would be an unusual event already, but things really became strange once the two were able to talk…

Marinette and Marc would tell their family, neighbors, strangers that things were going to happen to them…and they did. Unfailingly, if Marinette told you that you would fall down the stairs and sprain your ankle, or Marc said you were going to find something you lost, it would always happen. Every time.

It was pretty obvious by the time they were seven that they had the power to see the future, but there was an odd twist. Marinette could only foresee negative events, while Marc only saw positive ones.

Yet somehow, Marinette was a bright little ray of sunshine, while Marc spoke in a passive monotone and rarely showed emotion. (Their styles reflect their personalities, Mari is pastel goth and Marc is our emo son)

Despite their differing personalities, Marinette and Marc were always inseparable, the best of friends. They understood each other in ways that other people didn’t and confided everything to one another.

It would be a fair statement that they weren’t exactly…popular. Despite being friendly and cordial to most people who approached them, many were put off by Marinette cheerfully asking if they’d like to know their exact time and cause of death, followed by Marc flatly informing them what they were getting for their birthday that year. They quickly gained reputations as “freaks”, with a large portion of the school avoiding them like the plague.

Despite this, they managed to find friends in their respective classes, with the exception of Chloe for Marinette, one of the cousins’ most persistent tormentors.

Marinette adopted her positive outlook as a way to cope with the constant influx of depressing and horrific visions her “gift” gives her, trying to find solace in the small joys of life while being plagued with images of death, loss and despair.

Marc’s seeming inability to express happiness developed over time as he struggled to enjoy the good events in life when he could always anticipate them. There was no such thing as the joy of the unexpected for him, and he knew that negative events were always sure to follow. He was called “ungrateful”, “apathetic” and “cold” for this.

As Marinette grew older, the more she saw how people reacted to her visions, the more she began to internalize her trauma from them, hold everything in and constantly keep a smile on her face. It didn’t help when this mentality was drilled into her by, AHEM, certain people (“Marinette, you don’t want to make other people scared and sad, do you?” “Why would you want to hurt people, telling them about your visions?” “It’s best if you don’t tell anyone, you’ll only make things worse.”) This led her to double down on a toxic positivity mindset and attempt to act like she was as happy as could be, despite her inner turmoil.

Marc would try to encourage her to seek help, to talk to him or to anyone about the trauma induced by her visions but she was so entrenched in seeing herself as a burden that she would only give him a broken smile and assure him all was well.

When the two were thirteen, Marinette suffered her first public…break. She had had them in the privacy of her home before but never in the company of those outside her family. An overwhelming influx of terrible and disheartening visions about the friends she had come to care for so much sent her into a spiral of panic, and all she could do was scream and cry, completely unresponsive, horrifying her classmates.

Having heard the commotion, Marc had come (his classmates following) to see what was going on. He acted quickly, picking Marinette up and whispering to her in soft Italian, a lullaby her papa would use to calm her. He told everyone firmly that he was taking her home, and no one dared to argue after the piercing death glare he gave Bustier.

He almost slapped Lila the next day when she implied Marinette faked her attacks for attention. (He will shiv anyone who messes with her, and vice versa)

So here’s this! Leave thoughts in the comments and reblogs!

i'll make a part 2!!!

[thephantomcasebook]

Where is my Aemond, "I will stand deathly close to massive dragon to protect my sweet sister" Targaryen on the show? Cause I think the writers lost him and can't find him!

I think people need to remember Condal and Hess were replaced by the showrunner of "The Crown" early in production.

Remember, Condal and Hess missed the deadlines for scripts ... twice. They also delayed production of Season 2 for months because they couldn't finish the scripts in a timely manner.

"Blood and Cheese" was given to Sara Hess and another female writer and they had to redraft 4 times because it was continuously sent back and it actually got worse and worse, till GRRM came in and rewrote from scratch the entire episode in the eleventh hour.

Warner went out of pocket to get a ghost showrunner to come in as a ringer and get production off the ground as well as edit the scripts while Condal and Hess fucked off for the writers strike.

The things you are seeing on screen are a jumble of Condal and Hess's ideas patch worked by someone who knows absolutely dick about ASoIaF or the characters beyond what he read in the show bible.

The reason the ghost showrunner is not credited is because he's not a part of the American Writer's Guild thus the studio is not obligated to put his name on screen. Also he was brought in as a fixer to get production back on track and to script doctor Condal and Hess's shit work on the scripts.

So, if characters like Aemond, Alicent, and Criston are not acting like you'd expect them to be or the way they were in Season 1, it's because they're being rewritten by someone who doesn't really know the characters or the book lore. They're being doctored by someone the studio paid to take over for incompetent producers.

The scenes with Otto, Aegon, and Criston and especially the fight between Rhaenyra and Daemon, along with the shot compositions of the flower peddles that Helaena sees along with the dust motes that Rhaenyra stares at. These are all artistic hallmarks and signatures of "The Crown". The ghost showrunner was brought in because of his experience writing royal family drama.

The reason the Greens are written the way they are is because the ghost showrunner is basing them off of the British Royal Family dynamics of the Royal House of Windsor. With politically and public relations minded patriarchs and cold detached matriarchs that don't know how to show love. Because, these are the main tenants of "The Crown" and the characters/historical figures in them that he wrote for years.

So the quality of acting is elevated because the ringer they got is really excellent at directing and writing character drama. But the lore and the characters are off, because, he doesn't know anything about the characters beyond what he's seen in Season 1 and read from Condal and Hess's rejected scripts and their show bible.

pick a picture; what to expect for the month of october

pile 1 -> pile 2 -> pile 3

disclaimer; this is a general reading! these messages may not fit everyone. please take what resonates and leave the rest.

「 pile one」

five of wands rv (cb: the word lord rv, the wise woman of wonderland rv) knight of swords (cb: the arrow master rv, the hungry ghosts), six of swords (cb: the sacred union)

you may be purposefully avoiding conflict this month. you may find out that people are gossiping or talking badly about you behind your back. you're being asked to not engage with them. they are projecting onto you - and that is not your problem. it's their own fears and negativity speaking. there may be one person (feminine) in particular that is causing drama. do not be afraid to walk away from someone because you're worried you will not find another. staying with such a person will not benefit you in the long run. for some of you, this particular situation may be regarding a friendship of some sort. you may be grappling with a lack mindset this month. this negative mindset may be affecting your self-esteem and your relationship with potential romantic partners. this may sound redundant, but settling is not the answer. you may be giving too much of yourself to people who do not deserve it and you are not allowing yourself to receive. relationships should not be one-sided, you deserve to receive love as well. you may be experiencing self-deprecating thoughts. shift your perspective of yourself and address those limiting beliefs. be willing to stop this cycle and things will change for the better. i'm seeing that once you end this cycle, there is true love in your future - if you're brave enough to take the leap. also, i saw 12:34 on the clock while i was reading - if that is confirmation for someone.

[songs that may resonate] get it your way - the band camino, sparks fly - taylor swift, in a perfect world - dean lewis & julia michaels

「 pile two」

temperance (cb: the altar princess, the cosmos), 5 of swords (the metal king, gaia's garden), the lovers rv (the lady of the mirror, the mapmaker of destiny)

you may be starting a project or have a new opportunity that will bring a lot of meaning to your life. this could be something creative. this will bring you a lot of happiness and stability, as long as you diligently work towards your goal. however, you must be mindful of people with negative intentions trying to take advantage of you and the success from this project. keep quiet about the details of this new venture, and make sure to set boundaries with others. you may be experiencing trouble within your love life this month. for someone specific: you may have found someone who you want to start a relationship with; however, they do not want commitment. Instead, they want the more... physical aspects of a relationship or wish for a casual fling. do not blame yourself if this turns out to be the case. their actions are a reflection of them, not you - do not let their low-vibrational intentions taint your self-esteem.

[songs that may resonate] dirty little secret - the all-american rejects, i choose you - sara bareilles, your love is my drug - kesha

「 pile three」

death (cb: the dragon's duel), three of pentacles (cb: the resting tree rv), five of wands (cb: the swan queen)

you may be facing a significant choice this month. i'm hearing "should i stay or should i go?" you're being asked to analyze your choices to determine which one will serve your highest intentions. this may be concerning the end of a cycle. you may have finally completed your healing journey and you're ready to move forward into a new period. however, this will take a conscious effort on your part to step into this new chapter of your life. you may also be experiencing a lot of stress this month. if you start to feel yourself getting overwhelmed with your commitments: stop, take a breath, and meditate if you can. do not try to do everything at once or you may make mistakes - things don't happen overnight. also, do not be afraid to ask others for help to lighten your load. you aren't meant to do everything yourself. be open to assistance from others.

My experience with Music…

Hi ! My name is Sara, you probably won’t see which Sara I am but that is part of the mystery !

We are invited to present who our favorites artists are this week, so I will talk about the few that impacted my consumption of music through my life. Moreover, I will present what I observed in concerts. 

When I was a little girl, my dad loved to put music at full volume on our car so we could scream the lyrics of the songs. He made me listen to the artists that have impacted him. So, if you put a song of Jean Jacques Goldman, it is highly possible that I will be able to sing it. He also loved to put Linkin Park (so I am very happy of their return). At the same time, and from my childhood to very recently, he was part of a gospel choral. In fact, I was at all the rehearsals and now I adore this type of music. If you want, you can check out @leschantsdecoton on YouTube and I can assure you, you will be impressed by the perfect control of the singers’ notes and how it impacts the songs due to different sections.

Anyway, as a teenager, I was like all the others girls a big fan of Tal who was the first artist I saw on concert, but I also know all the songs of Adele, and some of Ed Sheeran’s, Imagine Dragons’… 

I describe myself as someone who love different type of music because I listen daily to classical music, rock, pop, k-pop but also rap… and I discover new artists very frequently !

Today, if I had to choose only one artist to present you, it would be YustonXIII. He does rap but what I love with his songs, is that you have a melody you can remember easily and which you can sing while you are listening to it. I went to his concert in Strasbourg in March and I did not know before that how much of a fan I was. It was amazing and I already am very nostalgic of it. 

I was scared of the people that was on the front row, it was like they were in front of their god and it was very strange to observe even if I knew this implicite fact. What I found amazing is the compassion between every person at these types of event. I went alone with the fear of crowds. However, people were lovely and very helpful. Some took me under their wings and, because they already went to his concert, they made me go in front of them so I could enjoy it more. It was an amazing experience I won’t forget. I went to another concert that was very similar (Alexander Stewart, American pop artist, Paris) and I have the impression that for small artists, in small concert hall, that people are very kind and comprehensive without any competition as we can see on TV with big artists like Taylor Swift or K-pop artists where people are pushing others to be on the front row. That is very pleasant.

I hope you had a great time reading to my first post and wish you a great week-end !

While Kara and Donnie are getting validation that it's alright not to like seeing just the good stuff. In an awkward teen, "i don't want to talk about feelings" way lol.

Thank you!

17.Who invented the animal-to-human translator.

(For the descendants theories thing )

There are many inventors in disney who could have made the animal-to-human translator.

But the question we must ask ourselves is who could or would do so? Who has motive to do so?

And who wouldn't?

Today I will be focusing on who could and couldn't have invented the animal translator thing and I will be going over those in the wiki and those that may have been forgotten/overlooked by the wiki to do so.

Couldn't:

Chef Andre (from Sofia the first): He gave up on inventing before the series even began and didn't seem to have interest in taking it back up, so he's out.

Spiderman (The Amazing Spiderman): We have no real proof he exists in Disney Descendants and, even if he did, this doesn't really seem his style so he's out.

Aggro (Miles from Tomorrowland): We have no proof that he exists and again, this doesn't really seem his style so he's out.

Professor Acari (Kim Possible): He focuses mainly on robotics, so this translator thing does not seem to be his type of thing. So he's out too.

Dr. Akita (Ducktales): He is a dog and doesn't like treating things he sees as beneath him as people, so why would he be interested in inventing something just to communicate with things he sees as beneath him (he'd probably see humans as less than him too)? He's out.

Dr. Axolotl (TaleSpin): He has beef with Shere Khan, who probably exists in Disney Descendants (I think it was actually stated he did exist?), but he's an animal himself and I honestly can't see him wanting to communicate with humans, so he's out.

Bug Bailey (Dick Tracy): We don't know if he exists and he was the tech expert of the police department, so we have no idea if he's even capable of inventing such a device. He's out.

Baron Von Steamer (Big Hero Six: The Series): We don't know if he exists and he doesn't seem to have interest in animals, so he probably wouldn't invent such a thing, so he's out.

The Beagle Boys (DuckTales): No motive and might not even exist, so they're out.

Beaker (Muppets): We don't know if he exists and his inventions tend to turn out wrong, so it probably wasn't him.

Belle (Beauty and the Beast): I can't remember if animated Belle was an inventor, but even if she was, she was queen when it was invented. When would she have time?

Sara Bellum (Darkwing Duck): She might not exist, she's a duck, and the invention wouldn't help the organization much at all, so probably not her.

Big Bad Wolf (Redux Riding Hood): He could exist and maybe he could invent the thing, but he's a villain so he'd be on the isle (as would most of the villains/former villains) and thus the technology would not be available to those in Auradon. So he's out.

Alador Blight (Owl House): He could exist and could be capable/interested in inventing such an item but he'd probably be on the isle, unfortunately. So, because of the lack of availability of the technology for the Auradon folk, he's out.

Boone Wiseman (Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero): I can't see him inventing something like that unless it was for a mission and he's a part time hero, so he's probably pretty busy. He's out.

Dr. Cyrus Bortel (Kim Possible): Based on his previous inventions alone, he's out even if you could argue he'd be capable. It does not seem to be his thing.

Sigmund Brock (American Dragon: Jake Long): We don't know if he exists but even if he does, his previous inventions are too different from this. And he could be considered a villain by some, so he's out.

Bruno Carelli (Ms. Marvel): We don't know if he exists and though he's probably more than capable of inventing such an item, he doesn't have a motive so he's out.

Bug (Future Worm): We don't know if they exist and they don't have the motive. He's out.

Taurus Bulba (Darkwing Duck): No clue if he exists, he's a villain, and doesn't have the motive. He's out.

Bungo (Jungle Junction): No clue if he exists, he doesn't seem capable of inventing such a thing, and has no motive. He's out.

Commander Buck Burpelson (Quack Pack): Doesn't have the motive, might not exist, and doesn't seem to have the need for such a device, so he's out.

Capricious Harmony (Disney Kingdoms series Figment 2): She's capable but doesn't have a motive for such an invention and might not exist, so she's out.

Captain Nemo (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea): He may he capable but might not exist in descendants and has no motive, so he's out.

Dr. Marcus Garvey Carver II (The Proud Family Movie): He's a scientist who experiments in peanut cloning technology. He seems to have no interest in animals or animal related technology. Whether or not he's capable doesn't matter given that and the fact he might not exist in descendants, so he's out.

Jason Chandler (Discovery Bay Chronicles (unaired pilot)): Might not exist and doesn't seem capable of such an invention, nor does he have the proper motive. So he's out.

Chrona and her father (Hidden Worlds): She doesn't seem capable though she does have the motive (i.e the creature but that also marks her out because she would have invented the above device if she was capable of doing so) so she's out. Also we don't know if she exists.

Carlos de Vil (Disney Descendants): He's capable and would have the interest but man was born on the isle and it would have likely been mentioned if he'd invented the item.

Cobby Hugglemonster (Henry Hugglemonster): Might not exist and doesn't seem capable of such a thing due to his young age. Also it's only for humans and animals as far as we know, so that also rules him out.

Curtis (Santa Claus): His whereabouts are unknown, he might not exist in this universe, and we don't have many references for his work. Nor does he have much motive so he's out.

Daedalus (Hercules): He looks down on those he thinks are dumber than him, so he likely wouldn't have invented an item to allow him to talk to animals he would probably think are of lower intellect than him so he's out. But maybe given the time change, maybe he could have changed enough to have created such a thing.

Donald and Douglas Davenport (Lab Rats): They probably don't have the interest after the bionic dog incident even though they're both capable. They might also not exist in this universe, so they're out.

Evelyn Deavor ( incredibles 2): She's capable but she's also a villain and if she exists, is on the isle. So she's out.

Lord Demanitus (Tangled the series): He's probably still dead, so though he'd likely have the interest and be capable of doing so, he's out.

Professor Demens (Kim Possible): Long dead and might not have existed, so he's out. Plus we don't know what he invented, so he's a no.

Professor Dementor (Kim Possible): He's out just because he's a villain. They wouldn't have access to his tech if he did invent it recently and he doesn't have the motive. He might also not exist so he's out.

Dexter Dingus (Mickey Mouse): Criminal and animal, so he's out.

Doc Static (Mickey Mouse): Animal, might not exist, and we don't have much idea of what he invented. So he's out.

Dr. Drakken (Kim Possible): Might not exist. Might be on the isle if he is capable. So he's out unfortunately.

Dreamfinder (Dreamfinders (unproduced)): Might not exist. No frame of reference for his inventions. So he's out.

Dr. Droid (Mighty Ducks): He's a villain and he hates organic life, so no motive. He's out.

Donald Duck, Everett Ducklair, Emil Eagle, Gyro Gearloose, Anna Matronic, and Genialina Edy Son (Mickey Mouse stuff): Animals. Might not exist. They're out.

Little Helper (Ducktales): He's a robot and his inventions don't relate to animals, so he's out.

Thomas Edison: Might not exist in universe and doesn't seem to have the motive.

Egghead (Ant-Man and the Wasp): Might not exist and is probably dead.

Electronique (Kim Possible): they have an interest in electrical stuff, not animals. So that and the question of whether or not they exist has them out. Also a villain.

Eliza Zambi (Zombies): She's capable but lacks the motive and might not exist. So she's out.

Emma Lau (Aaron Stone): Her inventions don't seem to correlate back to animals and she might not exist, so she's out.

Abraham Erskine (Captain America): He's out because he's dead, might not exist in this world, and his inventions don't correlate with animals.

Eureka (Eureka!): She lived during the stone age and might not have been brought to the present or exist, and she might not be capable of inventing this particular item so she's out unless new info comes out

Dr. Fen (Kim Possible): Villain who invents mainly robots and who might not exist. He's out.

Fernanda Pizazzo (Tangled the series): she doesn't seem capable of such a thing and has no strong motive, so she's out.

Benjamin Franklin: Might not exist, is probably dead, and doesn't seem capable and has no motive, so he's out.

Flik (Bugs Life): He doesn't seem capable, plus he's an ant. Even if he exists, how would he get the invention out to the wider public?

Phileas Fogg (Around the World in 80 Days): He's definitely capable but where's the motive and where's the proof of his existence?

Agent G (The Replacements): He's capable but where's the motive, interest, and proof of his existence?

Gary the Gadget Guy (Club Penguin): We have no proof that he's capable, that he exists, and that he has any interest in such an invention, so he's out.

Gibson (Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!): He'd probably be capable but where's the motive, interest, and proof of existence? Out.

Gwen Grayson (Sky High): She could be capable but would probably have no interest and again, might not exist and she is probably on the isle if she does due to her villain status. Out.

Green Goblin (Spiderman): He's a villain, probably doesn't exist, and he has no motive for such a thing. Out.

Goldie L. Locks (Goldie & Bear): She's capable but she can already talk to bears so there's not much motive, if she exists that is. She's out.

Grumio (Babes in Toyland): He works mainly with toys so he's probably not capable of inventing such a thing. If he exists that is. Out.

Gusto Gummi (Adventures of the Gummi Bears): I have no clue if he'd be capable of such a thing but there's no big motive for this. So he's out.

Gwen (Sofia the First): She's capable, sure, but her inventions seem to be centered around mainly music, cooking, and cleaning. Lacking motive, so she's out.

Geegaw Hackwrench and Gadget Hackwrench (Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers): Maybe they're capable if they exist, but their inventions rule them out due to lack of similarity or motive.

He who remains (Loki): Probably doesn't exist and motivate is lacking. He's out.

Hulk (Marvel): Probably doesn't exist and motivate is lacking. He's out.

Honey Lemon (Big Hero Six): She works mainly with chemicals, so she's out on that alone.

Dr. Bunsen Honeydew (Muppets): He probably doesn't exist and due to his history with his inventions, he's not likely to be capable of such an invention.

Ironman (Marvel): Capable but would he show interest in such an invention and probably doesn't exist? He's out.

Iron heart (Marvel): same reason as above.

Icarus (Hercules): I don't know if he'd be capable of such an invention and due to lack of other inventions to compare to, he's out.

Johan (Frozen): Worked mainly on windmills, so he's out.

Queen Iduana (Frozen): Worked mainly on windmills, so she's out.

Ling-Ling Johnson (Guilty Party): She may be capable but due to my lack of knowledge about her inventions, I can only assume they relate to her parents' detective work. So she's lacking motive and that boots her out.

Jumba Jookiba and Dr. Hämsterviel(Lilo and Stitch): They worked mainly on illegal genetic experiments and weapons, so they rules them out on this particular invention even if they are capable inventors.

June Chen (The Ghost and Molly McGee): She's capable but she's only worked on Ghost hunting stuff, so she's out.

Kang the Conqueror (Marvel): Lack of motivation, might not exist, and would probably be on the isle if he did, so he's out.

Harley Keener (Marvel): His inventions don't relate to animals or language at all, he doesn't seem to have any interest in animals, and he might not exist, so he's out

Aldrich Killian (Marvel): He's a villain, his inventions don't relate to animals, and he doesn't seem interested in them at all, so he's out if he does exist.

Maximus the Mad (Marvel): Probably doesn't exist and the invention doesn't seem like his type of thing. So he's out.

Lady Octopus (Spiderman): She's capable but has a lack of motive and might not exist, not to mention she worked mainly on robotics. So she's out.

Cassie Lang (Ant-Man): same reason as above.

Lenore Shimamoto (Big Hero 6): She's dead, didn't show anyone her inventions which didn't relate to animals, and seems more interested in chrystanthemums if she did exist, so she's out.

Leo Callisto (Miles from Tomorrowland): He might not exist and I don't know much about his inventions, so he's out unless I get more information.

Lexington (Gargoyles): He's a gargoyle, might not exist, and I don't know enough about his inventions, so he's out unless I get more information.

Lickspittle (Maleficent: Mistress of Evil): He's definitely on the isle for what he did to those fairies and probably wouldn't have interest in this invention, he's out.

Mad Doctor (The Mad Doctor): He's dead and if he wasn't, he'd be on the isle for the experiments he did on animals. I also don't think he's capable of such a thing.

Mr. McHenry (Kim Possible): He works with lasers, not animals and might not exist. So he's out.

Mechanicles (Aladdin): it'd turn into a weapon if he'd made it, he's out.

Merlin Jones (The Misadventures of Merlin Jones): He works with hypnosis, so he's out.

Merriweather Adam Pleasure (Pleasure Island): He created stuff that was fun, sure, but I don't think this kind of thing is up his alley. Plus he's long dead at this point even if he did exist and was capable of this.

Moon Girl (Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur): Doesn't seem her type of invention and she might not exist, so she's out until I get further proof that she could be capable and would invent such a thing.

Mr. Woodbird (Tiny Ones Transport Service): He's an animal and might not exist, and this doesn't seem this kind of thing, so he's out (unless I get further proof).

Could:

Bob (Puppy Dog Pals): He's both capable, has an interest in animals, and not a villain, so he's a good candidate.

Captain Brieux (The Island at the Top of the World): We don't know if he exists but he's eccentric, a decent inventor, and he has a pet poodle, so he probably could invent something like this and does have the motive.

Searcher Clade (Strange World): He's a farmer, so he had the motive and he seems more than capable of inventing such a thing so he's a good candidate.

Clyde Cosgrove (Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers): He seems capable with some help and he has the motive, and is not a villain so he's a good candidate.

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (many movies): He's been in many disney movies, so he likely exists. He could very well have made the blueprints/thought up the idea though he's very unlikely to have built the invention himself.

Heinz Doofenshmirtz (Phineas and Ferb): Has the motive, is capable, and he could have given his daughter his inventions if he got sent to the isle. Question is, does he exist?

Drosselmeyer: He has the motive and might be capable though he's not too likely given he specifically likes creating toys.

Edgar "E" Gore and Victor Frankstien (Frankenweenie): Assuming they're not on the isle, they're more than capable and given their love of animals, they have the proper motive.

Ferb and Phineas Fletcher (Phineas and Ferb): I don't really need to say anything. If they exist, they're definitely capable of this invention.

Graham Pudowski (Ron's Gone Wrong): He could be capable and has the motive. If he exists, he's a good candidate.

Hiro Hamada (Big Hero 6): He is more than capable of inventing such a thing, he wouldn't be on the isle if he exists, and he has a cat. That's motivation enough. Possible candidate.

Princess Isabella Castillo Flores (Elena of Avalor): She seems capable of it, she likes animals, and her family has magic on their side, so maybe it made her realize that the animals around her COULD be sentient enough to communicate with. Possible candidate (if you know what she invented and disagree let me know, the wiki didn't tell me anything about her inventions).

Prince Jin (Sofia the first): He seems capable and,due to the talking Panda incident, he has the proper motive to WANT to make such a thing (if you know what he invented and disagree let me know, the wiki didn't tell me anything about his inventions). Possible candidate.

Lewis Robinson (Meet The Robinsons): His inventions are different enough from one another that he could have interest in inventing such a thing. Plus his family has a T-Rex and possibly other pets, so maybe he did invent it (if he exists). Possible candidate.

Maurice (Beauty and the Beast): Maurice is a competent inventor and he's somewhat eccentric. He also has a horse and maybe a cat if you include the cat (and other concept characters), so he has motive. And we know he exists since Belle does. Possible candidate.

Old Man (Fiddleford Hadron) McGucket (Gravity Falls): He's capable, seems to like animals, and is eccentric enough that it's highly possible he'd invent this if he exists.

Charles Muntz (Up): Probably on the isle if they bothered to bring him back but maybe they used his collar that Dug still has to manufacture more. So he's the strongest confidant.

I'm going to end on him, since he did invent something almost exactly like this.

But if anyone wants more options, here's where you can find them:

[thephantomcasebook]

How would you compare got s1 and hotd s1 quality wise (writing, performances, soundtrack...)?

As someone who had been there on the ground floor of Game of Thrones Season 1, who was deep into the preshow hype ...

House of the Dragon is superior in terms of visuals, continuity, and special effects.

But in terms of writing and likability, GOT is the clear winner.

I think performances are tied. I think, Olivia Cooke, Fabian Frankel, Matt Smith, Tom Glynn-Carney, and Ewan Mitchell, match the top tier talent of GOT cast at their height.

Though I think that GOT had a better over all cast of veteran British/American actors that carried the show, even when it was diminishing in quality. The GOT cast, for the most part, knew how to act right in public and be professionals. The HOTD cast, while charming and fun, tend to be really immature and a lot more self-promoting.

You got the sense with the GOT cast that they didn't really understand what they were making all the time, but they understood and loved their characters and they were proud of their work. The HOTD cast, half the time, with the exception of Tom Glynn-Carney and Ewan Mitchell, don't give a shit about anything, certainly not about the show or the work of others. The HOTD cast had a lot of bad influences from the get go on set from producers to veteran comedic actors that treated everything like a joke and encouraged bad behavior on set. At least this time around, the actors and actresses are attempting to act as if they give a shit.

Overall HOTD has the advantage of eleven years of production history of "Game of Thrones". Meanwhile they were still trying to figure shit out into Season 3 of GOT. But I think GOT Season 1 is a far superior written show than HOTD Season 1. Cause D&D were just trying to tell GRRM's story as he wrote it in the book. Sapochnik and Sara Hess didn't give a fuck about GRRM's story and ruined a lot of aspects of characters by trying to implement their political bullshit into a narrative that it just didn't fit nor belonged.

As for the music ... controversial take, but I really never liked the music for GOT or HOTD. I'm not a fan of moody ambience replacing an actual score with themes and marches. Call me crazy but I actually like music with my score, not some dude in Van Nuys shifting settings on his keyboard.
